Burial of SheIby's Flag.


4. " n I
4 July sun, in t0r.id cline beamed on al
exile band,
Who, in suits OF gray,
Stood in mute arraY
On the banks of the Rio Grande,
They were dusty and faint with their long
dreary ride;
And they paused when they came to the
river side,
For its wavelUtS divide
With thei: flowing tide
Their own dear land of youth, hope, and
pllCe,
And comrades graves who in vain had died,
From the strangers home III the lana uItricd
Above them waved the Confederate fig,
with its fatal cross Of stars
That had always beou
In the battles din,
Like u peuon Of potent Mars,
And there curved from the crest Of iAeir
leader q plume
That the brave had followed in jov aud
gloom.
That was ever in sight
In the hottest fight
\ Haunting dare for soldier tomb,
For the marksmens aim and the camnOn's
boom,
But it bore charm from the hand Of doom
Forth stepped shat leader and said to the
faithful few around,
This tattercd rag
is the only flag
That floats on Dixie ground,
And this plume that | tear from the hat
wear
Of all my spoils is my only SHARE;
And brave men swear,
That no foe shall darn
lay his haad OH our standard there;
Its folds were braided by fingers fair:
lis the emblem now OF their deep dispair.
Its cause il lost. And the men il lei OF many
4 glorious field:
In disputing the tread
OF invaders dread,
Have been forced at last to Weld.
But this banner and plume have not been to
blame.
No eXulting eye shall behold their shame:
Aud these relics So dear
lu the water here
Before we cross shall burial claim:
And while yOn montaius may bear uauIr
! Shey shall stand rs mOEUmeuts of our fame
| Tears stood in eyes that had looked on death
ia every awful form
Without diSmay.
But the scene that day
! Was SuhliuCr than mountain storm
/ 'TI-casy 10 touch the vetrau's hrayt
| With the finger of nature, but not Of art.
While the noble of soul
! Lose SclfcoutTol
/ When called on with flag, home and country
To part,
/ iHsH hosC'aS are ever too callUuS to start
| With feelings that generous natures cal
smart.
/ Thoy buried then that flag and plume il
the rivers rushing tide,
Ere that gallant few,
! OF the tried and true
| Had been scattered far and wide,
And that group of Missouri's valiant thrung
| Who had fought for the weak against til,
strong
NE0 bad charged and bled
Where Shelby led.
! Were the last who held above the wave
The glorious fla. cf the vanqurshed brave.
| No more To rise from it, wa;cry grave!

Young Hen.

Young man, what are your
purposes in life1 Have you
any that are fixed. or are you
waiting for something to turn
up to give you a steady place 2
II the latter you may not ealcu-
late upon great success IN life.
Those carve out for themselves
fortunes, who wheB they can
not find a place in their chosen
pursuit, go TO work at anything
honorable that offers itself
Thas they make the start, and
in due time they are able to
enter into the business for
which they have a taste.
Those who patiently wait
from month to month or year
for some opening to save them
from hard work, may never find
it. Had they the shady places
which they desire, they could
find 10 beds Of roses as they
may suppose, but their employ
erS would expect them to work
earnestly, faithfully, late and
early, and to succeed, they
would be bound to do it.
The fact is, we have some
young men out Of employment
who think that labor is disre-
putable. They will live to re-
pent their mistake. We have
| too few farmers, mechanics,
artisans, engineers and labor
erS. In olden times, our faith
ers made their fortunes by com
mencing aS men OF toll upon
| farms at Il small pittance per
year, but they knew how hard
ly it was made and they kept it,
added to it, boeght each OF
: them a small tract of land, and
rising step by step they attain
ed independence. But there
were giants in those days, men
who feared not toll, sun or eX-
posuye. Their descendants
| should initiate their example
/ We have far too many doctors
I lawyers, merchants, clerks, etc
Also too many SO eager to live
in the shade that they enter
professions er business Often.
| times for which they are total
ly untitled, and hence theiI
whole lives are failures.
Young man, learn that la
Dor is honorable, and that yOl
have it in your power by in
duStry and economy to maxi
for yourself not only living
but fortunes.

Hot a Texan.

Hotel is "a great resort Of the
Texans. They seem to have u
partiaiity for it that nothing
can weaken or destroy; nor is it
unreasonable that they should,
imasmuch as The taste and pc
culiarities Of this gallant peo-
pie are always considered by
the proprietor, and indeed
everybody connected with the
hotel. Indeed SO completely
az fat has Mike, the monarch
Of the dining room, become in
his thorough knowledge of the
Texan, that he prides himself
i'll telling one at first sight
But 4 few days since, Mike
made a mistake. 4 tall, un-
gainly-looking specimen put
in All appearance, whom Mike
concluded was an exotic from
the brazos. He lavished upon
him every possible attention,
subsidized walters to give him
the juicieSt steaks and the
incest delicacieS. until the old
fellow rolled up his eyes i'll en-
ioyment, and lived on the fat
of the land.
Mike absolutely radiated with
pleasure as he saw the unmis-
taxable gustO with which his
viands were devoured; and un-
able 10 conceal his satisfaction,
finally approached and asked
how the gentleman from the
BraZoS was getting along.
Very well, / thank you, -
was the sedate reply.
whats the news in Texas r.
said Mike.
"TeXas!" exclaimed the
guest. ooh! my friend, | have
never ventured into that TN.
gOdly land"
"Sir !" calculated Mike, the
picture of establishment, anC
perspiration breaking out il
, great drops on his forehead.
"Tm Il minister of the gospel
and the heathen Texans arr
out of the pale of mercy
Well" gasped Mike, "wher,
) did you come from then?'
From Maine, sir-from ava,
, Down East"
Mike turned away in disgust
j Words were inadequate to con
; vey his sentiments. He wa
gloomy and morose all day
e and at night summed up tn
: situation in the indignant so
llloquy:
"And to think I've bee
feeding that old Yankee al
the week on my best steak:
If this gets to Texas, I'm
