consequence is that their farms are grow

Our farmers are all possessed by the
evil spirit of speculation. They plant

the present or future. They employ all
their business of planning faculties in de-

whereby they can make good speculatiops.

Gather the sacred dust!
Of the warriors tried and true;
Who bore the flag of our Nations trust,
And fell in the cause. though Lost, still just,
And died for me and you.
Gather them each and all
From the private to the chief
Come they from the howell or princsly hall,
They fell for us, and for them should fall
The tears of Nations grief
Gather the eorpses strewn
Ger many a battle plain,
From many grave that lies so lone,
WITHOUT a name and without stone,
Gather the Southern slain.
We care not whence they came,
Dear is there lifeless clay
Whether unknown or known to fame,
Their cause and country still the same
They died-and wore the gray.
Wherever the brave have died,
They should not rest apart:
Living they struggled side by side,
Why should the hand of death divide
A single heart from heart?
Gather their scattered clay,
Wherever it may rest
Just as they marched to the bloody fray,
Just as they fell on the battle day,
Bury them breast to breast.
The foeman need not dread
This gathering of the brave;
Without sword or flag. and with soundless
tread,
We muster once more our deathiess dead
Out of each lonely grave.
The foeman need not srown,
For they are powerless now
We gather them here and we lay them down,
And tears and prayers are the only crown
We bring to wreath each broW.
And the dead thus meet the dead,
While the living DER them weep,
And the men whom Lee and Stonewall led,
And the hearts that once together bled,
Together still-shall sleep.

and wears her hair cut short. Last night
she wore an orange-colossa silk skirt,
long train, trimmed with black laes, and
around her shoulders hung a white lace

She said that she was the only remaining

there stood alone in the world. poor

God was with her. She was born in

such as, ..Is she drunk" "She is mad,
..Yes she must be crazy" At length q
man broke out, There, that's enough Of
that nonsense, let US hear about your
mother.
This brought the injured princess tc
