Capt. Thompson, the Piute chief,

Mute is the voice of rural labor, husled
The ploWboy's whistle and the milImaid's g
song.
And the wish is general that the, might
stay hushed.
The scythe lies glIItering in uc dewy
wreath
Oftedded grass, with faded fiowes,
That yestermOrn bloOmed waving in the
breeze
And when the old man comes ilong
And fluids it there he will starfthe quiet
OF the hallOWed day with shouts and roaIs
And taking on Of one kind snd another
That will make hired mar sink into his
boots.
To him that wanders O'erthe upland leas,
With his shotgun on hb shoulder,
The blackbird Is note cones mellOwer from
the dale,
And sweeter from the sky the gladsome
lark
Marbles his heaV'n-tuned song the lullIng
brook
Murmurs more gently down the deep-worn
glen,
While from yoB roof whose curling smoke
O'ermounts the mist, Is heard, at intervals
The voice OF psalms, the simple song Oi
praise,
And the hired girl swearing at the cook
stove!

without giving names she told her
story. The Gar was Indignant and
declared that this officer should suffer
whatever punishment she demanded.
He called in his Minister, the brother
OF the culprit, who vowed that such q
man should not be allowed to remain in
the armies OF the Gar. His uniform
should be stripped from him. Then
there was dramatic scene when the

In transport Of rage, perhaps Of dis

OF the war. This bird OF freedom was
great favOrite with the Union sol.
diers, and seemed to enjoy camp life
and the pOmp and circumstance OF
glorious war as much as any OF the
boys in blue. When the regiment
went into battle he was let loose tC

close of the contest would again seek

In the same proportion IS he loved g

takes by getting into the wrong camp
After the unpleasantuess was over,
and "Old Abe's" regiment was mus.

at the public expense at the city oi

pride and satisfaction by the people

GENERAL Grants Iron Nerve.

Celia Logan writes in the New York
Dispatch
History repeats itss,f sometime or
other. Several years ago, not long
after the close of the rebellion, and
when public feeling on both sides OF
the question, which had led to such a
bloody issue still ran high, one of the
military posts in Washington pro-
duced 8 play written by an amateur,
and performed by soldiers. 1t was
called, II l mistake not, ''The Drum
mer Boy Of Shiloh" and, though
very crudely put together, contained
some thrilling and sOul-stiIring cpl
sOdes and situations. The house was
filled with men who had been Federals
and COniederates, and Grant, then our
President, sat in the stage-bOx. Un-
derneath him, in an oTchestra-chair,
was q large man, who had evidently
been q Confederate officer. The play
endeavOrsd to represent, as fairly Ss
possible, the desolatlon, disaster, and
death which the war had brought in
to both Northern and Southern
homes. AS heart-rending scenes were
depleted in Southern cities, the ex-
Confederate officer, Overborne by his
excitement, by the aid OF crulch,
staggered to his feet-or foot, / should
say, for he had lost leg-snd, shsk.
ing his fist at Grant, he cried out 4:
"D-n you, sir-yOu there in the
bOX-yOu did it-yOu-yOu brought
this misery upon US all !"
The audience held their breAth-the
players stopped speaking-all waiting
to hear and see what the President
would say or do. / have heard Grant
called "a stone man :" had he been
one in fact, he could not have been
less moved than he was when the
staIWart officer lOOmed up before him.
Not q muscle OF his face stirred. He
did just give one glance downward
where the mans leg had been, then
calmly turned his eyes toward the
stage and kept them fixed there.
Tha actors resumed their parts
there was q murmur in the audience,
and no further notice being taken OF
the irRscibls officer, he was forced ia
sit down, looking somewhat crsstfAl-
len.
From the GOODNESS and self-cOntrOl
displayed In this little episode, an ides
might be Cleaned Of that iron nerve
which made Grant the great com
mander he was. An old saying runs
"He who would control others must
first control himself" and that Grant
caE do to perfection. What the great
POmpey did when insulted by the
actor, history does not inform us--it
only records the fact.
