BIT FATHER RYAN.

Gather the sacred dust
Of the warriors tried and true,
Who boro the flag Of our Nations, trust,
And fell in the Cause. though lost, still jus
And died for me and you.
Gather them ono and all
From the private to the chief,
Come they from hOyel or princely hall,
They fell for us, and tor them should fall
The tears ofa Nations grief.
Gather the corpses strewn
Ger maLy battle plain;
From many grave that lies 50 lone,
Without o name and without a stone,
Gather the Southern slain.
Wccare not whence thoy came,
Dear is their liielcss clsyl
Whether unknown, or known, TO fame
Their cause and country still the same
They dled-and wore the gfag.
Wherever the brave have died,
They should not rest apart
Living they struggle cd 81 ie by side
Why should the hand Of Death divide
A single heart from hearth
Gather their scattered clay,
Wherever it may rost;
Just as they marched to the bloody fray;
Just as they fell on the battle day
Bury them brerst 10 breast.
The foemau need not dread
This gathering Of the brave;
Without sword or flag, and with soundless
tread,
Wamuster once more our deathlesS dead
Out Of each lonely grave
The foeman need not frown;
They are all pOWCrlcss now
We gather them here, and we lay them down,
And tears and prayers are the only crown
We bring to wreathe each brow.
And the dead thus meet the dead,
While the living o'cr them weep;
And the men whom Lee and Stonewall lcds
And the hearts that once together bled
Tnrnihnr still shall sleop

GOOD HEALTH

Is boon that comparatively few can boast
Of. Those who have enjoyed uninterrupted
health for series of years imagine themselves
to be proof against disease, and are careless
with their diet and their dress. Indeed, too
many OF them are sowing the seeds of consump-
ton. At first the slight but constant cough
attracts no attention, but IL is only when the
disease increases 10 violence that IL begins to
excite suspicion The malady should at once
be checked, and for this purpose no remedies

Is the only way to cure consumption.
To these medicines DR.. Swayne of Phila-
delphia, owes his unrivaled success In the
treatment Of pulmonary consumption. The

ter in the lungs, nature throws II off by an
easy expectoration, for when the pblegm or

and the patient has rest and the lungs begin to

to cleanse the stomach and liver, so that the

good blood. "Swayne's Tar Pills" act upon
the liver, removing all distractions, relax the
