Bring Flowers.

BY HENRY PETERSON.
Bring flowers to strew again
With fragrant purple rain
of ilac>. and of iose-, white aud red.
The dwelling, Of our dead-our glorious dead
Let the bells ring asolemn funeral chime
And wild war-music bring anew the time
When they who sleep beneath
Were full of vigorous breath.
And in their lusiy manhood sailed forth.
Holding in strong right hand
The fortunes Of the land.
The pride, and power. and safety OF the North,
II seems but yesterday.
The long and proud array
But yesterday. when even the solid ruck
shook with earthquake shock.
A. North and South like two huge iceberg,
ground
Against each other. with convulsye bound.
And ;he whole world stood still
To view :l.e mighty war,
And h"ar the thuuderous roar.
While shccted lightning, wrapped each plain
and hill.
Ala how few came back
From battle and from wrack'
Alt> how many lie
Beneath a southern skS
Who never heard the fearful fight Wa. done.
AMI all they fought for. won,
>Hccter, think. their Sleep
More peaceful. and more deep.
QUA thtA i'ui know their wounds were not in
vain.
Could they but hear the grand. triumphal
>irain:
Aud - their homes unmarried by hostile tread
All, let u hope il i 80. with our dead
We mourn for all. but each doth think Of one.
More precious 10 the heart than all beside;
some father, brother, husband, or dear son
W ho came not back .or coming sank and died -
In him, the whole sad list i, glorified,
lie fell fore Richmond. In the seven long dav :
When battle RACED from morn 10 blood-dewe j
eve.
And i,, 'Acrc.'-ouc POOR widowed woman

And Anow- not most to triumph or To- gric,c.

Beneath our Northern -Ait>.

From the Albany knlcKefoOcRer.l
The other day two persons named O'Hare
were committed to jail One was committed
to the penitentary for six months, while
both were still in jail. When Jailer Crounse
hallooed for O'Hare to 20 to the penitentia-
ry, he did not apply the Christian name ,and
the result was that the chap who had not
been sentenced, but was anxious to get out,
answered, and he was taken to the peniten-
tiary. A few days later O'Hare was again
called by Jatler Crounse, and the other chap
hm and ipe he Wes ros set at bery I was
conveyed to the penitentiary, while the gull
ty one escaped. The chap entitled to dis
charge Is still IN prison.

OOngs Of the Lilies.
NJ EllNA L. HoYT.

Close down by the water grow they,
In the heart Of grasses, tall and green:
strange, wor derful secrets know they
OF the fleecy sly and the world between.
Growing without thought OF the morrow,
growing neither to tot! or spin,
Growing with never dream Of sorrow,
close down there by the rivers brim.
wonder II lilies never
By woodland brook or rivers brink,
Grow tired of living ever.
Or wish that the white of their bells were
pink. ....
Bells that are fair as the faces Of angels
Rails as sweet a. the breath Of Spring,
Bells that tell softly as falling Of rain tells
Eyangel of the lilies King.
Gold tongues have these bells Of lilies,
on an emerald lance they softly swing,
And he may listen, whose will it's,
| To the songs of praise that the lily bells
sing.
Songs that they sing to the queenly grasses,
Songs sung low to the drowsy bee,
Songs for every child that passes,
Songs that are life-songs for you and me,
so grow they, down by the water,
While the mornings redden and svenings
fade,
Eill the fairy hand of the sea.king's daugh-
ter
Beckons them forth from the quiet glade,
Down to the sea with its purple blllows,
Down to the sea with its sill yer foam,
Down on The seaweed's tangled pillows,
! There the bells find a home.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Belknap has not committed suicide, as
was ahsurdly reported, but he has muir
dered the Republican party,-NeO York
Herald.
Acquitted, but not vindicated," is the
voice of the country in the BabCock case.
He should now seek a.vindiCation.-Cm-
cinndh Gazette rep.
President Grant appointed Secretary
of the Navy Robson to act as Secretary
of War;
Luckey resigned as private secretary Of
the President and got fat place in the
Treasury Department, Ulysses, jr., is the
lucky boy to take the vacant place.
Judge Jerry Black, ex-senator Carpen-
ter and Montgomery Blair are counsel for
Belknap.
"Bess" Shepherd got up a serenade for
Babcock after his return from st. Louis.
but grand reception at Belknap's that
evening prevented.
Geo. NJ. Robeson, Grants Secretary of
the Navy, was poor New Jersey lawyer,
and is now rich. The question is how,
when his salary of $4,000 will not keep
him in the style he lives? The rotten
ness of the Navy Department is the
grand question.
Many Republican editors are in favor
of Bristow for President. But can any
one, beginning hiapame with B, be nom
mated?
If, in the face of the Belknap revelations
at Washington, any enthusiasm can be
created in favor of the Republi blican party,
there is no use in talking about the ne
cessities of purity in official stations.
They may get Carl Schurz to come to the
rescue and help them out.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1876-03-16

A writer in leading German quarterly
says that the peasantry of Russia are in
worse condition than they were when
Alexander III. abolished serfdom, four
teen years ago, They do not live so well,
and idleness, drunkenness, tramping,
bloodshed and arson have increased to a
frightful extent. The writer attributes
this result to the bad management of the
Government The peasant is the slave
ofthe Commune, which controls his per-
son and his property in such o way as to
leave him no liberty. The Commune is
more despotic than the master used to be.
In Oxford, N. Y, there is a revival of
large dimensions in progress, which the
leaders call Highway and hedge re-
vival." A Scotchman by the name of
Patterson is the leader in the movement,
and the services consist chiefly of song,
with very little preaching, Twenty song
meetings are held each week, at points
miles apart, and the people attend them
in great numbers, rain or shine. Mr.,
Patterson uses Sankey's songs and solos
of his own, which he sings with great eff
feet. The converts are said to include
large numbers of "the profane, Sabbath
breakers, gamblers, scoAers and skep-
tics"
Brother Moody has score ofpolicemen
in the Hippodrome, and when a half
drunken, noisy fellow disturbs the wor-
ship the policemen hustle him out Har-
rison Parkinson, the Weekawken canal
boat revivalist, had no policemen in his
craft, and when the other day bolster
GUS simmer disturbed his sermon. the
evangelist collared and elected him. For
this he was arrested, convicted and fined
five dollars, the charge being assault.
He had been out of work since fall, and
had expended all his money for religious
tracts to distribute among his fellow
boatmen. He did not have five dollars,
and the justice refused to accept a mort.
gage on the canal boat. Parkinson was
therefore sent to Jail, and there he must
remain thirty days unless the fine is
sooner paid.

GEN. W. w. BELKNAP was poor when
he became Secretary of War in 1859. He
had been lawyer in Keokuk, Iowa, and
had served inthe army. His father was
an army officer, serving in the war OF
1912 and the Mexican war. 1t seems
Belknap lived in style at Washington
in style of fashionable extravaganza
that his salary of $4,000 as secretary
would not justify. Horses and carriages
andservants, receptions, parties and balls,
and superb dressing, jewelry, etc, all cost
money. Such is life in Washington, and
such is the result.

been taught long since "that the Chief
Magistracy is by no means a PERSONAL
and family "perquisite"
