ETH CAROLINA wEDnEsDAY, NovEmBER n;B, 1872.


our own city, Atlanta.-we make this
appeal in behalf Of him, this brave young
soldier, who was once their .countryman.
Is it just that he should lie here alone
and neglected,
.'Neath the pines Of South Carolina,
Far away from his own loved Georgia;
while his comrades, by the side of whom
he fought in days that are past, and
shared together the biyouac> fire, sleep iii
graves that are cared for and hohored7 2
Shall there be for him no "decoration,
day f"f' Year after year, when the offer
ings of flowers and evergreens are laid
upon their graves, shall this one remain
'nncared for; covered over with pine straw
and .decaying leaves, and the name of
him who sleeps Here sink into oblivion ?
All! We. trust not. Wears TOO well ac-
quainted with the noble hearts Of our
Georgia ladies to feel that this appeal will
fall upon deaf ears. 31'''t1
r. Whether Major Hull has relatives liv-
ing or not we do not know. We think
he has in Macon. If SO and these lines
meet their eyes, we know that they will
tnke instant steps, for his removal. If
not, We feel assured thatthe Ladies' Mem
orial Association Of Atlanta will come
forward and respond to this appeal. If
they will write to DR.. j. p. Cleckley,
at Graham's Turn Out, South Carolina,
we know he will lend them nil the assis-
tancc in his power.
Will the ladies not undertake this
noble work? We feel assured that they
will. ANNIE MARIA.

Touched by the neglect everywhere
visible, we determined to do all III our
power TO show that some one ut least
cared for the sleeper.
We called our little cousins, who, a
few moments ago, had begged lis TO join
in game Of romp, and @skcd them if
they had not much rather "help clean off
the poor soldiers grave" Their childish
sympatliies !were at once enlisted, and
with willing hearts and ready han,ls we
set to work. The grass was cleared away,
the hollow filled up, grave formed, and
n space cleared around for a distance of
fnur or five feet. Then the children
there were but three of them, the young
est just six years old--brought cedar and
evergreens, and wreaths were made and
placed upon the grave. Our work was
done. 1t cost us only an hour or two OF
labor. but how much happiness it brought
US in return.
And. now, just n few words more, and
we will lay aside our pen. To the ladies

POETRY.
The Lone Sentry.
BY JAMES r. RANDALL.

~
Twas in the dying ofthe day,
The darkness grew SO still:
Tho drowsy pipe of evening birds d..
Was hushed upon the hill;
Athwar. the shadows of the vale
Slumbercd the men Of might, re-
And one lone sentry paced his rounds,
To watch the camp that night. w
a grave and solemn man was he,
With deep and sombcr brow;
The dreadful cyessecmed hoai ding up
Some unaccomplishcdvow.
The wistful glance peered Ger the plains
Beneath the starry light
And with the murnured name of God,
1Icwatched the camp that night.
The future opened unto him
ltsgrand and awful scroll;
Manassas and the alley march
Came heaving DER his soul
Richmond and shalpsburg tl,undcrcd bY
With the tremendous fight
Which gave himto the angclhost
mo ~atchea the camp that night.
We mourn for him who died for ,,s,
With one rcsi.tlcss moan;
While up the Valley of the Lord
lie marches totllc Throne!
Ickept the fnithofm,n and saints
Sublime and pure and bright
He slccp>-andall is we'll with him,
Who watcllcdthc camp that night.
Brothers! the Midnight ofthc Cause
lsshro't!ctl in cur fate;
The demon Cloths pollutc our halls
With fire and lust and hate;
he strong-be yali;nt-be assured
Strike home for Heaven and Right!
The soul ofJackson stalks abroad,
And guards the camp tonight!
