Strewing the Graves.


Comet bring the lowers-bring fair young flowers,
that look so fresh and gay,
And twine the wreath and bright fes;con and twine
the sweet boquet.
Let Natures sweetest brightest smiles this day be
on our land,
And all from cot to courty ball assist with helping

And well approach with measured tread where lie
our fallen braves,
And with these embems of our love we'll strew
their humble graves.
To-day broadcast throughout our land let every one

so DEAR
Let each memento they have left to tell US of their
fall
The rusty musket in the rack, the sabre on the
Be crowned with lasting evergreens to mind US Of
the free ,rc,
who've j6ined the Army of the Dead, beyond liie's
troubled sea.
Yesl let the wife forget her cares, and leave her
quiet home,
Let the farmer quit his toll of daily life, and come,
Let the youths in prime of life stand by in close
array,
With solemn hearts and ready hands, affections
And you, fair maids, It's yours the lot to come with
lovely flowers,
And deck the graves Of cherished ones-the hon
ored dead of ours
Perhaps this grave-this humble mound, may hold
some fair haired boy
Some loving mothers greatest pride, some noble
fathers joy
'Tis fully meet that you should pay this simple
tribute due,
For some fond sister, far away, who'll do the same

To one you loved, who takes his rest amidst che

When she comes with fair young flowers, to strew
his humble grave.
They have no columns highly wrought, affection

Nor marble slab nor granite shaft, to teach US how

But let this usage be observed, which We have just
begun,
And for successive ages hence descend from sire to

And when shaft and statue fall, twill honor do our
braves,
When with flowers. with fair young flowers, we

MISCELLANY.
a Good Joke.

There was Quaker chap too cute for the
great Daniel Webster once This Quaker, a
pretty KNOWN old shaver had a cause down in
Rhode Island, so he went to Daniel to hire him
to 20 down and plead his cause for him; SO
says he:
Lawyer Webster, what's your fee'2"
why" says Daniel, "let me see; have
got to 20 down South to Washington, to plead
the great insurance case of the Hartford Com
pany and I've got to be at Cincinnati to at
tend the Convention; and don't see how /
can 20 to Rhode Island without great fatigue ::
it would cost you maybe more than you would
be willing to give"
Well the Quaker looked pretty white about
the glls tell you, when he heard this, for he
could not do without him. nohow, and be did
not like this preliminary talk Of his at all at
last be made bold to ask him the worst Of it
what he would take?
"Why, said Daniel, "I always liked the
Quakcrs, they are quiet, peaceable people who
never 60 to law if they can help it, and it
would be better for our great country if there
were more such people in it. never saw or
heard tell Of any harm in EN-, except going the
whole figure for General Jackson, and that
everlastin' almighty william, Van Buren yes,
I love the Quakers; hope they'll 60 for the
Webster ticket yet, and I'll 90 for you as low
as I can any way afTord-Sl 600"
The Quaker well nigh tainted when he heard
this, but he was pretty deep too; so says he :
Lawyer, that's great deal Of money, but
I have more causes there, if | give you the
81 600 will you plead the other causes | shall
have to give you?"
"Yes," says Daniel, al will to the best Of my
humble ability"
So down they went to Rhode Island and
Daniel tried the case and carried it for the
Quaker. Well, the Quaker he goes round to
all the folks that had suits in court, and says
he:
"What will you give me if I get the great
Daniel to plead for you? 1t c-st me $1,000
for fee. but now be and | are pretty thick
and as he is on the spot, I'll get him to plead
cheap for you."
So he got $500 from one, and 5000 from
another. and 50 on, until be got $1,000 more
than lie gave. Daniel was in a great rage
,rLor be heard this
What" said he, q" DO you think ! would
agree to your lettingme ont like livery horse?
Friend Daniel" said the Quaker, did ST
thou not undertake to plead all such causes as
/ should have to give thee? If thou wilt not
stand to thy agreement neither will | stand to
mine"
! Daniel laughed out ready to split bis sides
i at this
We'll" says he, " I guess | may as wei
stand still for you to put the bridle on TIM
time for you have fairly pinned me up IN

So he went good bumoredly to work anc

Advantages of Crying.

A French physician publishes long dsseF-
tation on the advantages Of groaning and cry
ing in general, and especially during surgical
operations. lie contends that groaning and
CRYING are two grand operations by which Ma
ture allays anguish that those patients who
give way to their natural feelings more speedily
recover from accidents and operations than
those who suppose it unworthy man to betray
such symptoms Of cowardice as either to groan
or cry. lie tells Of a man who reduced bis
pulse from one hundred and tgenty-six % six

vent to his emotions. II people are at all un-
happy about anything let them 90 into their
rooms and comfort themselves with a loud boo

bove. the CRYING Of children should not he too

pressed the result may lie ST. Vituss dance'

ways useful and nothing can be more MAUI

occurs 10 give them either physical or mental
pain. Probably most persons bayeexperieneed
the effect Of tears 10 relieving great sorrow. II
is even curious how the feelings are allayed by
their free indulgence in groans and sghs.-

DEATH WoN'r SAVE YoU.-It has been de-
cided that dying won't save man or woman
from the payment Of taxes. Assessors are
instructed that Incomes of persons who died
after the 81st of December, are taxable,
and should be returned by executors, and
also all incomes which accrued in 1867, to
persons who died within that year. Incomes
accruins after disease should be returned by
heirs Thus it seems that the insatiate tax
rathcrer follows a man in his coffin, sits at the
portals Of the tomb, plants himself by the side
of the grave digger, as he drops the G. Is upon
the mortal remains, and after dogging + car
riages of mourucrs, stalks home like a spectre,
and enters upon his books the expected income
the Treasury is to derive thcrefrom. What a
blessing national debt IS.

the many enemies which men put in their
mouths to take away their brains, than this
moral prostraton before bottle which hap
pens to contain Major-General B. f. Butler.
Nething has been said or written of Gene
raj Grant, by any one of those who are polti-
eally hostile to his election, which involves
any reflection upon his honesty, his intelli-
gence, his character, so dark and damning as
these words of his, reported by his friend,
convey. They indicate, and more than indi-
cate, all that was ever asserted by President
Johnson in regard to the duplicity with
which General Grant, as he alleged had be-
haved to him in the matter of the dd interim
appointment to the War Department.
But damning as is the picture painted of
himself by General Grant in this extraordi-
nary retraction and prostraton, it grows more
damning still in the light OF sundry other
revelations made by General Grants "friend."
The difficulty between Grant and Butler hav-
ing been adjusted by the humility of the
former and his willingness to eat his own
words, the publication of the fact was delayed,
so we learn, expressly in the hope that by
favor of the popular belief in their continued
antagonism, both Butler and Grant might be
enabled to make more dramatic and effective
show of magnanimity on the occasion OF the
Presidents impeachment. This would be in
credible were not the assertions distinct and
the authority vouched for by Grant himself.
Here is the text
"But the truth is. that IL was the Joint desire
OF both Gener Grant and General Butler, aB
oon as IL was seen by each how little there was
TO be adjusted, that the adjustment should be
delayed till after the close OF the impeachment
tIiaI. The reason of this was that II was con-
sanity expected that the defense would put
General Grant upon the stand with the view OF
hetcheling him with a fierce ecross-examinatlon,
and as, in that case, General Butler would bs
required TO defend him while there from any
improper assault, 1t was not thought advisable
that any change OF their personal relations
should be effected at that time"
The person to whom we are directly indebted
for this dismal apocalypse of small cunning,
and of what we may fairly call an unexampled
act of moral auto-cannibalism, winds up his
story with these words, which, if they be not
the sublimity of grim sarcasm, are certainly
the elimination of cynical impudence:-
'FThis terminates the matter in a manner
most honorable to both General Grant and
General Butler, and must necessarily not only
give great relief to the loyal public, but impart
| fresh impulse to the Republican campaign"
Truly may it be said of those who, after
| such revelations as these can still urge the
election of General Buffers very humble SER
want to the Presidency, "These be thy gods,
oh Israel, and they that make them are like
unto them, so likewise is every one that be-
| lieveth in them"
