LET US HAVE PEACE.
ny WHILE 3. HIGGINS.


Over the graves of the Northern brave
Floated the Federal banner, blue white and red.
And Arlington's heights were gorgeous and bright
With natrons pure and maidens in white,
WhhsPring's bright blossoms to crown the dead.
There were orators there-men gifted with speech
Who told of the deeds their dead had done;
And sweet toned voices sang hymns of praise,
And their banners aloft on the breeze they raise,
And the pageant went bravely ON.
But the Federal dead slept not alone;
Many rest there who have worn the Gray
Many who fought for their hearths and homes
Fought and died to prevent tbs groans
That now ring in our to-day.
An order went forth that those Rebel graves
Should be strictly guarded by soldiers that day,
Lest some mig hit kneel on the unholy ground
Might water with tears the narrow mound,
Or deck the grave of a soldier in Gray.
Let u. hare yeaee What itidan those wordsf
They've rung in my for four long years.
They mean: Kneel. ye conservative traitors. knee
We have placed on your necks an iron heel,
And We gloat in your miseries and your tears.

and the excessive heat of Wednesday noon,
Capt j. W. Rowan met with severe fall on
one of our back crossings, .bruising his face

RosADAL1s -Tumors, Ulcers or Old Sores
are caused by an impure state of the Blood.
Take Rosadais as directed, and if the Ulcers
are infamed, use Elm Poutice. After in>
fammation subsidies, use some mild ointment.
Never attempt to cure an Old Sore by oint-
ments salves. &c. alone. Nature often makes
an outlet of this kind to throw off the impur:-
ties of the blood. Cleanse the blood til, =
roughly first, and the Old Sore will get well
itself, because Nature has no further use for it.

Pursued by a Ghost.

There are few cases of mania exhibiting such
peculiar features as that of Mr.. Spencer, llv-
ing on Louisa street, in this city Some years
ago he engaged in difficulty with a man
named Hunt, whom he killed. They had been
friends from their boyhood, and up to the day
of the fatal affray had never felt for each other
aught but friendship and kindness: 1t is said,
too, that they had mutually shared many per-
lis, and bonds of sympathy linked them by
stronger ties than usually cement ordinary
friends But trifing dispute occurred, and
in moment OF Incorporate passion the fatal
thrust was given and his old friend lay dead at
his feet His horror at the homicide threw
him into fever, of which he came near dying.
For months he hovered on the verge of the
grave, and when at last he recovered, it was
with the impression that the ghost of his
friend, clad in grave clothes, was ever at his
side His mind, rational upon every other
subject, clings to this delusion, and no persua-
sion or reason can remove the impression, or
cure him Of the mania. 1t goes with him to
his business, which he conducts with the same
sagacity and skill that he ever did. 1t sits with
him in his family circle, is by his side upon the
street, and lies down with him when he goes
to bed at night. He often converses with 1t,
and imagnes that he receives replies TO his
questionings He says for years the ghost
maintained toward him stern aspect, refusing
all Cancellation, but of late years it has as
sumed toward him q more friendly demeanor.
He believes that it will 60 with him through
life as penance for his crime. The law ac-
Quilted him. but this is the judgment of Heav-
en,-Neao Orleans Pscayuae.

other evils of msrule in this unhedged,

AT Arlington
BY JAMES r. RANDALL.

The broken column reared in air
To him who made our country great,
Can almost cast its shadow where
The victims of grand despair,
In long, long ranks of death await
The last, loud trump, the Judgment Sun,
Which come for all, and, soon or late,
viii come for those at Arlington.
In that vast sepulchre repose
The thousands reaped from every fray,
The Men in Blue who once uprose
In battlefront to smite their foes
The Spartan Bands who wore the Grey.
The combat O. 1.-The death-hug done,
In Summer blaze or Winter SHOWS,
They keep the truce at Arlington.
And, almost lost in myriad graves
OF those who gained tn unequal fight,
Are mounds that hide Confederate braves
Who recf not how the North wind raves,
In dazzling day or dimmest night.
Ger those who lost and those who won,
Death holds no parley which was right
Jehovah judges Arlingtonl
The dead had rest; the dove of peace
Brooded DER both with equal wings.
10 both had come that great surcease,
The last omnipotent release
From all the worlds delirious stings
To bugle deaf and signal gun,
They slept like heroes of old Greece
Beneath the glebe at Arlington.
And in the Springs benigpant reign,
The sweet Alay woke her harp Of pines,
Teaching her choir thrilling strain
OF jubilee to land and main,
She danced in emerald down the lines,
Denying largess bright to none.
She saw no difference in the signs
That told who slept at Arlington.
She gave her grasses and her showers
To all alike who dreamed in dust;
. Her song-birds wove their dainty bowers
Amid the jasmine buds and flowers,
And piped with an impartial trust
Waits of the air and liberal SUM-
Their guileless glees were kind and inst
To friend and foe at Arlington.
And mid the generous Spring. there came
Some women of the land who strove
To make this funeral field of fame
Bright as the May god s altar fame,
With rosy wreaths of mutual love.
Unmindfll who had lost or won,
They scorned the jargon Of a name
No North, no South at Arlington.
Between their pous thought and God
stood files Of men with brutal steel
The garlands placed on Rebel sod'
Were trampied in the common clod
70 die beneath the hireling's heel.
Facing this triumph of the Hun,
Our Smoky Caesar gave no nod
To keep the peace at Arlington.
Jehovah judged abashng man;
For, in the vigils of the night,
His mighty storm-avengers ran
Together IN one choral clan,
Rcbuking wrong, rewarding right
Plucking the wreaths from those vino Won
The tempest heaped them dewy- bright
On Rebel graves at Arlington!
And when the morn came young and fair.
Brimful of bushes ripe and red,
Knee-deep in sky-sent roses there.
Nature began her earliest prayer
Above Triumphant Southern Dead
So, in the dark and in the sun,
Our Cause survives the tyrant :; tread
And sleeps to wake at ArlingtonE
