AN ENGLISH POETS TRIBUTE TO GEN
LEE


From one of our contemporaries we clip th'
following tribute to General Lee:
In an account of the late Confederate Gen
erai Lee, the New York correspondent of thu
London Standard mentions an affecting Incl.
dent connected with q young and gifted
English poet, now no more. The late z. 5
Worsley sent General Lee copy of his trans
lation Of the Iliad, with a little poem of pre-
sentation written on the Hy-leaf. 1t was seer
by many of the Generals friends, who lie.
quested a transcript of the verses for publica.
ton, but he would not permit them to be
printed, his native modesty shrinking from
the warm panegyric they embodied. Now
that both the poet and the soldier have passed
away beyond earthly censure or praise. there
seems no good reason why they should Longer
be withheld from the public eye. Igive then
here, with the assurance that they will be read
with interest in England:"
The grand old Bard that never dies,
Receive him in our English tongue;
/ send thee, but with weeping eyes,
The story that he sung.
Thy Troy has fallen-thy dear land
Is marred beneath the spoilers heel;
/ cannot trust my trembling hand
To write the things | feel.
All, realms of tears but let her bear
This blazon to the end of time
No nation rose so white and fair,
None fell so pure of crime.
The widows moan, the orphans wall
Rise round thee-but in truth be strong;
Eternal right. though all else fail,
Can never be made wrong.
An angels pen, an angels moutl
Not Homer s-could alone for me
Hymn well the great Confederate South;
Virginia first, and Lee.

Sleep as a Medicine.

The cry for rest has always been louder
than the cry for food; not that it is more
important, but it is often harder to get
The best rest comes from sound sleep.
OF two men or women, otherwise equal,
the one who sleeps the best will be the
most moral, healthy and efficient. Sleep
will do much to cure irritability of tenn
per, peeyishness, uneasiness. 1t will
restore to vigor an oyerworked brain; it
will build up and make strong a weary
body; it will relieve the languor and
prostration felt by eonsumptives; it will
cure hypochondria; it will cure the head
ache; it viii cure the heartache; it will
cure neuralgia; It viii cure broken
spirit; it will cure sorrow. Indeed, we
might make a long list Of nervous mala-
dies that sleep will cure. The cure Of
sleeplessness requires q clean, good bed,
sufficient exercise to produce weariness,
pleasant occupation, good air, and not
too warm room, freedom from too much
care, a clean stomach, clear con
science, avoidance Of stimulaats and
narcotics For those who are over
worked, haggard, nervous, who pass
sleepless nights, we commend the adop-
ton Of such habits as shall secure sleep;
otherwise life will be short, and what
there is Of it sadly imperfect.

and the rowers with great difficulty kept
them alive by constant and vigorous rub
bing until the shore was reached, when
their benumbed forms were handed over
to willing hands, and carried to warm
firesides, where they soon showed signs
of life, but the hands of all were badly
frozen, as were also their ears As soon
as they were landed upon the beach the
boats again started for the ice-felds to
rescue the four surviving fishermen. BY
this time the detached ice had hoated
down the river two miles, and the
CRIES FOR HELP
from the throats of the unfortunate men
were agonizing in the extreme. They
could be seen in the center of the field
stamping and running and throwing up
their arms, but nothing could prevail
upon them to leave the center, as

of the ice, and now and then huge cracks
would run along the frozen surface for
hundreds of feet, giving warning to the
fishermen that their floating ice island
was, by the action of the wind and
waves, breaking to pieces beneath them.
Darkness came and then the moon rose
upon the scene, and still the wind blew
with great violence. The four smal!
boats containing brave hearts were fast
ened to the ice-felds and hoated down
the river with it, the occupants of the
boats vainly endeavoring to get

boats noticed cessation of the cries
from the fishermen. This to them was
full Of horror, as it gave token of the
possibility of the unfortunate men freez-
ing to death. Whatever was to be done
must be done quickly, so hurried con
sultation was had, and it was resolved to
make desperate attempt to save them.
Accordingly, after several efforts to gain
a foothold upon the ice, during which
three or four of the boats were dragged
on the ice, and then all hands started
for the fishermen, whom they found in a
terrible condition, with feet, noses, hands
and ears frozen. They had
GIVEN UP ALL HOPES
of succor, and expected death in short
time. They were hurried to the boats,
al. getting away from the ice field in
safety, and landing on the west shore,
ten miles from where they started. The
fishermen were then taken to Crugers,
where they are now with their respective
families, and receiving the best medical
attention. Their situations are preca-
rious, though it is possible they may re-
cover.

The Horrors of War.

A European critic reckons that at
least 100, 900 men have perished-killed
outright or slowly by wounds and dis
ease-since August 4, when Weisenburg
was stormed and the first big fight of the
war took place; that another 100000
have imbibed the seeds of disease which
will not only shorten the natural dura-
ton Of their own lives, but be trans
mitted to generations yet unborn; that
probably $4,000 widows and more than
200, 600 orphans mourn the loss Of hus-
bands and fathers; that from 10000 to
$4,000 other homes have been made des-
olate by the loss of sons OF hrothers who
we're their stay; and that little short Of
400, 900 are in captivity. By this war
fully one million Of human beings have,
directly, either been robbed Of exist
ence or deprived Of their fair share Of
happiness and enjoyment in life within
the brief space Of Eve months, and upon
comparatively limited area Of the sur
face Of Europel Then there are the de-
struction Of the means Of material com
fort, and the longing for revenge which
the struggle IS engendering.

From the New York Herald, February g.
PoUGHKEEPsIR. February 5, 1871.
All day yesterday and the night pre-
yious the wind blew hurricane at all
points on the Hudson, coming from the
north and west. The mercury in the
thermometer dropped fast, and the cold
increased hourly. Ice gatherers at all
quarters suffered greatly, and had it not
been Saturday work would have been
abandoned. But they are not the only
toilers on the ice on the Hudson in the
winter time. They have comrades who
follow different avocation-that of fish
ing. 1t is estimated that over one thou
sand persons gain livelihood on the
river in the winter time by fishing.
Theirs is
A LABoRIoUs WORK.
They watch the tides and fish accord
ingly. The catch includes white and
yellow perch, striped bass and pickerel,
which sell readily at from fifteen to
twenty cents per pound, thus enabling
the fishermen to make from five ten dol
lars per day.
In Haverstraw Bay on Saturday there
were about one hundred and seventy
fishermen at work with their nets. As
before stated, it was a terrible day. They
were scattered all over the river, Drawing
the piercing, cutting wind, intent only
upon ending up the week with catch "
full of profit and then going home to
their families. At 4;30 pm. cry of
terror rang through the crowd.
"THE ICE IS MoyHGl
Go for the shoren shouted burly but
pale.faced fisherman, as he hurried along
to the westward, and in an instant the
widest excitement ensued. The toilers
looked on to the northward and observed
clear water between the ice they were on
and the solid frozen bridge north of Cru
gers. The entire field of ice, embracing
the whole channel Of Haverstraw Bay,
was on the move and carrying with 1t

About Fish.


Old antipathies have sometimes inter
vened between wholesome food and hun
cry mouths. The strong prejudice thai
exists in Scotland against the eel, says 8
writer in All the Year Round, is among
the thugs not generally known to the
south of Tweed. An Argyleshire or q
Lanark ploughman would as soon cook
veritable viper as the foul sarepent
creature which in England would be
reckoned a plump silver eel worth some
shillings in the market. The Irish pea
SAINT will leave whole mounds of enor
nous skate to rot upon the sea-beach
under vague impression that they are
unwholesome, if not poisonous. Indeed
Pat has but low opinion of fish of any
sort, while in England the poor regard
it as habby and watery Wand, scarcely
worth the trouble of dressing. In Den
mark on the contrary, the dwellers
on the bank of the Aggerford
live by preference ON fish. With
them it is fish for breakfast, dinner and
supper, and they care little for bread
itself in comparison with their cherished
staple. 1t is shame, says the Agger-
ford man, that good corn should be
ground to flour and kneaded into loaves,
when it might so much more reasonably
have been converted into brandy The
people of the poorer isles of the Heb
rides, and of the Shetland group, are
less peculiar in their taste; for if they
feed on whelks and mussels, it is because
their bleak and sea-washed rocks afford
them spare nourishment beyond the
shellfsh that cling to the wave-worn
stones.
The Neapolitan of the lowest class has
his winter dish of roasted sea-eel, when
his summer dish of sliced melon goes
out of season. The great capitone, often
of thirty or forty pounds weight, is to
the lazzaroni what solid beef is to the
Yorkshireman. Great quantities of eels
caught at Commacchio, in Corsica, are
sent across to the Naples market, and
the fisheries along the Italian coast are
tolerably productive, but, as a rule, the
Mediterranean is not largely stocked
with fish, probably because so few great
rivers flow into it. On the other hand,
the seas around the Antilles absolutely
TEEN with delicious fish of wonderful
shapes and of preposterous colors, and
China, where so many broad streams
pour down their yellow waters to the
sea, has piscine treasures not as yet half
catalogued by science. EEH

A Chapter of Facts.

Space is valuable in a newspaper, and it is
therefore proposed in this advertisement to
condense variety of facts, important to the
public, into small compass. These facts
refer to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters-what
that celebrated medicine is, and what it will
do. In the first place, then, the article is a
stimulant, tonic and Alternative, consisting OF
a combination of an absolutely pure spirtu-
Gus agent with the most valuable medicinal
vegetable substances that Botanic research
has placed at the disposal of The chemist and
the physician. These ingredients are COM
pounded with great care, and in such proper
tons as to produce a preparation which in
vigorates without exciting the general sys-
tenn, and tones, regulates and controls the
stomach, the bowels, the liver, and the minor
secretive organs.
What this great restorative will do must
be gathered from what it has done. The
case of dyspepsia, or any other form of indi-
gestion, in which it has been persistently ad-
ministered without effecting a radical cure,
is yet to be heard from, and the same NAV
be said of bilious disorders, intermittent fe-
yer, nervous affections, general debility, con-
stipaton, sick headache, mental disabilities
to which the feeble are so subject. 1t puri-
ies all the fluids of the body, including the
blood, and the gentle stimulus which it i'm
parts to the nervous system is not succeeded
by the slightest reaction This is a chapter
of facts which readers, for their own sakes,
should mark and remember.
