Lees Miserables.
By JOHN EsTEy Coo.,E

They called themselves Lees Misera-
bles"
That was grim piece of humor, was it
not, reader? And the name had a some
what curious origin. Victor IIugo's work,
Les NtserdIles, had been translated ana
published by a house in Richmond; the
soldiers, il the great dearth Of reading
matter, had seized upon it and thus. by
a strange chance, the tragic story Of the
great French writer had become known t.
the oldiers in the trenches. Ever, where.
you may see the gaunt figures in their
tattered jackets, bending over the dingy
pamphlets, ''Fantine, ''Cosette," or MA
RUS" or st. Denis, and the woes al
jean Vajean,' the old galley slave,
found an echo in the hearts of these old
soldiers, inmured in the trenches and fet-
tered by duty to the r duty or their can
non.
Singular fortune Of writer: Happy
NJ. Hugo! Your fancles crossed the ocean,
and, transmitted into new tongue, whirl-
ed away the dreary hours Of the Old sol
diers OF Lee. at Petersburg
Thus, that history of ''The Wretched,"
was the pabulun of the South in 1864,
and as the Fren Oh title had been retained
on the backs OF the pamphle is, the soldiers
little familiar with the Gallo pronuncia-
ton, called the book, lees Miscrables !"
Then another step was taken. It was no
longer the book, but themselves when
they referred to by that name fhe old
veterans of the army thencetorth laughed
at their mlscries, and dubbed themselves
grinly "Lee's Miserables -
The soubriqaet was gloomy, and there
was something tragic in the employment
of it, but it was applicable Like most
popular terms. it expressed the exact
thought in the mind Of every one-coined
the situation into phrase.
Truly they were 1.-The Wretched, =
the soldiers Of the army of Northern Vir
GINA, in the fall and winter of 1864. -
They had quarter of a pound of rancid
NASSAU bacon" from New England for
rations ofmeat. The handful of -four, or
corn meal, which they recei"ed, was mus
ty. Coffee and sugar were doled out as a
luxury. and now and then only; and the
microscopic rating became a jest to those
who looked at it. A little "grease" and
corn bread-the grease rancid and the
bread musty--these were the food OF the
army.
Their clothes, blankets, and shoes were
no oetter-even worse. Only at long In
teryals could the government issue new
ones to them. Thus the army was in
tatte-s. The old clothes hung on them
like scarecrows. Their gray jockets were
10 rags, and did not keep out the chilly
wind sweeping over the frozen fields

4 visitor at school in Michigan saw
the flag Of our country arranged on the
wall of a school-room, nearly one-half of
which it covered. Tie thought to elm
prove" the occasion in patriotic way,
and, with that purpose, asked one Of the
pupils what the flag was there for "To
cover up the dirt" was the prompt reply.
We are sorry to say that the flag is often
used by corrupt politicians with just such
an object-''to cover up the dirt"

P OE TICAL
WILL THEY COME AGAIN?

The fervid sun is calling
The dew drops home on high,
From brook and lake and river,
The vapors seek the sky.
Earth gives them up reluctant,
And faint with thirst and heat,
Mourns for her children of the dawn,
SO radiant and SO feet.
But they have not forgotten.
In Heavens serlaner ray,
The beauty ami the brightness
From which they fed away.
Tie dew remembers fondly
The Sweetness of the rose.
And the spirit of he rivul.t
lis early music knows
And when the earth is fainting
and weary for the rain.
In showers of love and blessing,
They come to us again
win cool, refreshing fingers
They batie her heated brow,
Aad the song they have learned on high
Through all her being dow.
Oh ! dare We take the lesson
Of The dew drop ana the rain
DO the angels who have left us
Return to US again
In Heavens eternal sunshine,
BE renewed and purified -
Do they keep the memory CT the home
In which they lived and died
When we arise from weeping
For the Idols we adored,
And cur lips repeat with fervor
- All, all shall be restored"
Are they not bending Ger us.
WIKI more than human love,
And whispering to our inmost hearts
or holer joys above
Descend, 0 blessed angels,
In giories ever new
Reveal to US new lessons
Of the beautiful and true
As the rain the earth r4fresnes.
Let your love en- us be shed.
Till we follow up the rainbow pa.b
whittier our loved are fed.

Never be ashamed OF confes,ing your
ignorance, for the wisest man upon earth
is ignorant of many things, insomuch that
what he knows is merely nothing in COM
parison with what he does now know
There cannot be greater folly in the
world than to suppose we know every
thing.
