THE DAY WE CELEBRATE

On this green bank, by this soft stream.
We set to-day yotiye stone.
That memory may their deeds redeem
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.
Spirit that made those heroes dare
To die. and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft We raise to them and Thee.
BY the rude bridge that arched the flood.
Their flag to AprilS breeze unfurled.
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.
The foe long since in silence slept
Alike the cOnquerOr silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seward creeps

THEY LOVE THE SOLDIERS.

Since the election, and in view Of
the vote at the Soldiers Home, the
tone of the Radical leaders has
changed. A prominent member of
that party and a personal friend of
Mr.. Gunckel, a few days since made
the statement publicly that, "the
Soldiers Home was a fraud on the
people of this District" bat sit was
located at Dayton in the especial in
terest of Mr.. Gunckel and was in
tended to make and keep this dis
trict Republican" Another celebra-
ted radical orator remarked, "that
there was a way to stop this" mean
ing the independence of the inmates
Of the Home in voting. And now,
to complete the insult, comes the
radical Cincinnati Commercial, and
says with reference to the voters at
the Home:
at is not often that a citizen has
such a passion for his party as to be
willing to vote away his bread ano
butter"
What does the editor mean? Doe:
he mean that the soldier who ha:
given his health or limbs in defence
of his country, is a pauper2 Doe
he mean that the brave soldier is
personal chattel of the Radical par
ty? 0 wonderful love of the Radi
Gals for the soldier. AS long as h
votes under the dictation of tn
Grant leaders, no words of prais
are too fulsome, but the moment h
asserts his independence and vote
in accordance with the dictates Q

he becomes a pauper and must b
