STONEwALL JACKSON,

He sleeps all quietly and cold
Beneath the soil that gave him birth,
Then break his battle-brand in twain,
And lay it with him in the earth
No more at midnight will he urge
His toiIsome march amid the pines,
Nor hear upon the morning air
Tue war.shGut of his charging lines.
Cold is the eye whose meteor CLEAN
Flashed hope on all within its light;
And still the voice that, trumpet.tsned,
Rang trough the serried ranks OF fight.
No more for him shall cannons park
Or tents CLEAN white upon the plain;
And where his camp.files blazed OF yore,
Brown reapers laugh amid the grain.
No more above his narrow bed
Shall sound the tramp of marching feet,
The rife yoIleys, and the crash
OF saDres wheu the foemeu meet.
Aud though the winds OF autumn rave,
And winter snow fail thick and deep,
Above his brcast-they cannot move
The quiet of his dreamless sleep.
We may not raise marble shaft
Above the heart that now is dust:
But nature, ike a mother fond,
VIII ne er forget her sacred trust.
Young April, Ger his lowly mound,
Shall shake the volets from her hair
Aud glorious June with tervid kiss,
Shall bid the roses blossom there
And, round about, the droning bee,
Wiz drowsy hum, shall corae and so;
While west winds, all the iyelon day,
Shall murmur dlrges soft and 10 ".
The warrior stormy fate is DER,
The midnight gloom hath passed Il way,
And like glory in the East,
Breaks the first light OF Freedom day!
And white-winged Peace DER all the land.
Bro0ds like a dove upon her nest
While iron war, with slaughter gorgcd,
At length hath lain him down to rest.
Anu NitIc Nt won cur OHHiIu way
vi h fire and steel, through yonder woo d,
The backbird Whistles, and the quail
Gives answer to her timd brood.
Yet oft in dreams his fierce brigade
Shall see the form they followed far;
Still leading in the farthest van
landmark in the clouds OF war
And oft when white.hairei grandsires tell
OF bloody struggles past and gone,
The children at their knees will hear
How jackson lead his column, on!
LABOR.
Toll swings the ak, and forests bow.
The seeds break out in radiant bloom;
Rich haryests smile behind the pow
And cities cluster round the loom:
Where lettering domes aud tamporias spires,
Adlrn the wales and crown the hill,
Stout labor lights its beacon fires,
Aud plumes with smoke tue forge and mill.
The monarch oak the woodlands pride,
Whose trunk is scanned with lightning scars,
Toll launches on the restless tide,
And there unrols the flag Of stars
The engine with its lungs Of fame,
And ribs OF brass and joints of Steel
From labor's plastic fingers came,
With sobbiug valve and whirling wheel,
I is labor works the magic press,
And turns the crank in hives OF toll,
And beckons angels down to bless
. Industrious haAds on sea and soil.
Here suubrowncd Toll with s&iniLg spade,
Link. lake to lake with silver ties,
Strung thick with p4Ia ees Of trade.

progress has been made in extending the railroad

Tru,b i. stranger than Fiction,

Truth 10 Stranger than Ficion, ID,
Many of our readers who resided
here a little less than score of years
ago, will doubtless remember the then
reigning belle of the City, at least, if we
are not misinformed, more than one OF
our bachelors have vivid recollections
of the havoc made among the young
beaux of this city at theperiod of (which
we write, by young lady, which for
convenience we shall call Miss c.
About the same time there came to
reside here temporarily, native OF one
of our eastern cities, young nan OF
fine attachments, possessing more than
an ordinary amount of those accom-
plishments which go to make up the
gentleman. No one (says our friend
from whose lips we have this story was
more welcome to the social circle than
this young gentleman, and during his
stay of less than one year, he won gol-
den opinions from all with whom he
came il contact. That he should win
the affections of Miss c. seemed so much
a matter of course that no one express
cd any surprise when Madam Rumor,
ever busy, heralded forth tho report
that the accomplished stranger was the
accented suitor of the belle of the city.
Were we attempting to write a novel
we would, of course, conclude with a
happy marriage, but as we are simply
recording facts, we can only say The
young gentleman very suddenly left for
one of the southwestern territories, and
the bcllc, much to the chagrin of her
young friends of both sexes, withdrew
from society, and is to-day considered
by her old associates, many OF whom
have long since been married, as an old
maid suffering from the pangs OF disap-
nointed love. But now comes tx strange
part of the story. In the private records
of one of our city's most popular clergy
men of that day, there is recorded the
marriage of the couple about which we
have been writing, bearing date A. D.
1s49, and what is stranger still, eIe
many more moons shall wane, it IL said
the wanderer of the last nineteen years
will be hear to claim tho wife from
whom no has been so long separated,
and with whom be passed but one brief
hour after her marriage. During his
absence the tickle goddess Fortune has
been unusually lavish of her gifts, and
the wanderer will bring with him many
qolden charms which, added to his more
solid accomplishments, will add much
to the enterprise of our city, where he
expects to spend the remainder OF his
days in the enjoyment of his ample
means and in the society of his accom-
plished wife. We bespsak for them a
warm reception among their immediate
friends, and wish that their honeymoon,
although long deferred, may be proper
tionately happy. Truly, truth is
stranger than fiction.

Mysterious Appearance.

Mysterious Appearance.
At the modest hour Of between III and
and IL o'clock on Thursday night,
when things tangible aud mythical usu-
ally appear and disappear, ghostly
apparition presented itself on Fifth
street, near the corner of Monroe. 1t
will be remembered by those who were
out about that time, that there was a
heavy rain falling, accompanied by
brief intermissions with the rumbling
noise of thunder. 1t was on such a
night and hour that no one would ven
ture cut without the most urgent busi'
ness to attend to that our informant
saw what we are about to speak of AT
the distance when he first discovered
this object it appeared to him like an
antique stature, wrapped in sheets as
white as driven snow, and as i'm
movable as the rock of Gibralter, but
on approaching it closer it began to as
sumo the form and shape of the beings
who inbabit this mundane sphere, ard
its pure whiteness vanished away into
the shape of a pair eff human legs
dressed in the simple suit ofwhite draw
ers, and body covered with an under
shirt. It was o man whose head was
bare and feet nearly the same, who In
somn ambulistic state, we suppose, wan

dered away from the comforts Of his
couch. On being INTERCEPTED what ne
was doing ont at that late hour in such
an unseemly condition, he replied that
he was looking for the man struck "by
thunder. He also said he liyedon Zane
street and was going home, but at
the time she was met hesswa'
travelling in an opposite direction to-
wards Union street. No more informa-
ton could be gained from him further
than that he has only resided in this
city about six weeks, and 1T is probable
that accounts for his not knowing ex-
actly which way to find his home. He
was about five feet 8 or 0 inches tall,
weighs about 140 pounds, and the only
conclusion we can come at for the sim
gular freak is that he must have been
in an somnambulic state, and was be-
wildered when he awakened. Hence
he was reticent in regard to himself,
preferring not to be known. Our In
formant put him in the right direction
for Zane street and he disappeared that
way like a sane man.

The He'll hinge

The He'll Ringers.
This company of musicians gave a
performance last night and attracted a
large and appreciative audience at
Washington Hall, to witness the pecu-
liar and enchanting features of their
entertainments. Their programmes are
varied and embrace many gems of song
as well as rare and exquisite instru-
mental pieces. The pleasure of the
evenings spent with them is greatly
enhanced by the chimes of their beauti-
full silver bells. Mr.. Russell keeps the
audience convulsed with laughter by
his comic songs and fun-provoking
Grimaces. He will appear tonight for
the last time during the season. The
harp solo, by Mr.. Whitcomb, is perfect
in execution, and faultless in all other
respects. After listening to him once
one is constrained to fancy that he has
descended from and inherited the talent
of Sir Walter SCOTS "Wandering Minis,
trel." We would pever grow weary
listening to the harp when his hands
awakes it. To all who like variety OF
music on o variety of instruments, we
say go tonight by all means. You will
be we'll repaid. Let them have hodse
at parting that will be pleasant to re-
member when small things arc for
gotten.

sundny school Auuiversnry.

The anniversary exercises at the Bap-
fist Church last evening made a very
pleasant affair. The entertainment
was well attended. The Superinten-
dents report showed that the school had
experienced reverses in leaving the old
house on Clay street year ago, but
since that time has more than doubled
it's numbers. Addresses, were made by
Reverends J. Hall and d. w. Fisher
and DR.. Logrn which were were full of
encouragement. The exercises were in
terspersed with singing by the choir
and school, of choice Sunday School
Hymns, and closed with "All Hail the
power of Jesus came" The school has
reason to be very much encouraged by
receiving the power and aid of its
friends.
