in Court and charged q young man named John
Donovan with having robbed him Of watch worth
500 and S. in cash. An examination was demanded
by the accused, who feels confident Of proving his
innocence.
The same complainant charged John Conner with
having robbed him on Saturday last OF So. The

they are now, and on one occasion,
when he was staying with Dean Shir-
ley, Vicar of WreXham, his iather-in-
law, such n sermon was to be preached
and the want of Il suitable hymn was
felt. He was asked on the Saturday to
write one, and seated at the window of
the old vicarage house, he produced,
after short interval, in his clear
handwriting, with one single word
corrected, that hymn beginning,

following day in WreXham church.
The writer of these pages on the Dee
saw the original manuscript some years
ago in Liverpool, and more recently
he has seen the printer, still living in
WrcNham, who set up the type when
a boy Dean Howson, in the Art
Journal for June.
The original manuscript of this hymn
is in the collection Of Mr.. Rallies, the
borough stipendiary magistrate, and
the anecdote is to be found in his me
moirs of his father, the Rev. DR., Rallies,
by whom the manuscript was shown,
many years ago, to the reverend dean.

Gather the Sacred Dust.
BY FATHER RYAN.

Gather the sacred dust
Of the warriers tried and true,
Who bore the flag Of our nations trust,
And fell in the cause, though lost, ssiii
just,
And died for me and you.
Gather them, one and all!
From the private to the Chief.
Come they from hovel or princely nal,
They fell for US, and for them should
fall
The tears, of nations grief.
Gather the corpses strewn
Der many battle plain;
From many grave that lies so long,
Without q name and without stone,
Gather the Southern slain.
We care not whence they came,
Dear is their lifeless clay!
Whether unknown, or known, 10 iame
Their cause and country still the same
They died-and wore the gray.
Whenever the brave have died,
They should not rest apart;
Living, they struggled side by side
WHY should the ehand of death divide
A single heart from heart. .
Gather their scattered clay, .-.-
Wherever it may rest;
Just as they marched to the bloody fray;
Just az they fell on the battle day;
Bury them breast to breast.
The foenian need not dread r..
This gathering of the brave;
Without sword or flag, or without sound
less tread,
We muster, once more, our deathIess
dead
Out of each lonely grave.
The foeman need not frown;
They are all powerless now Il
We gather them here, and we lay them
down,
And tears and prayers are the only
crown
We bring, to wreath each brow.
And the dead thus meet the dead,
While the living DER them weep;
And the men whom Lee and StoneWall
led;
And the hearts that once together bled ;
Together still shall sleep.
