On Monday night was presented here for the first
time in America John Broughams dramatIzaton OF

this of course but partial representation OF the

remarkably close to the original text as far as It

DECORATION DAY.

Dust of Heroes, lying here,
Still unto your country dear,
Flowers we bring, each grave to strew,
Respectful tribute to renew.
Our country by disunion torn.
And by disunion ovsrborne,
and drenched with blood, costly wave,
Your precious lives were lost to save.
And buried meath your country's soil,
At rest from carnage, blood, and toll;
Your graves a sacred trust we hold,
More eiprieeIess in our eyes than gold.
The dreadful charge is heard no more,
Nor clash of steel, and cannon's roar,
Nor groans of wounded, dying men,
For peace has blessed our land again.
But ali the cost, no tongue can tell,
The oft re peated funeral knell
To happy Heroes has mourning sent,
And bleeding hearts with grief are bent.
How many gallant forms are laid
Afar from home mid Southern shade,
And none to cast a flower there,
To shed tear, or breathe a prayer.
But God has numbered every spot,
Made sacred by 4 fatal shot,
And every righteous one to save,
His only son He freely gave.
Nay SotH, 1871.

Down THE HILL.-The evening of every
mans life is coming on apace The day of
life will be spent. The sun, although it may
be up in mid heaven, will pass swiftly down
the western sky, and disappear. What
shall light up man path when the sun of
life has gone down? He must travel on to
the next world what shall illumine his foot
steps after the nightfal of death, amid the
darkness of his journey? What question
more Important, more practical, more sol
einn for each reader of our journal to ask
himself? That is a long journey to travel
without light, without guide. and without
a friend Yet every man must perform it.
The time is far distuut wheu all men
will begin the journey There is an even
ing star in the natural world. Its radiance
is bright and beautiful, and cheering to the
benighted traveller But lifes evening star
is in good hope of Heaven Its beauty
and brilliancy are reflected from the sun
of righteousness, whose bright rays light
up the evening of life, and throw their ra-
dance quite across the darkness of TIE grave
into lmmanuers land 1t has illuminated
the footsteps of many traveller into eter-

worlds cannot purchase it; yet it is offered
without price to him who will pcnitently
aud thankfully receive it.
