A QUERY.
"Can these things be, and overcome us like sum
mcrs dream 20

Can these things be- and overcome us like q sum
mcr's dream ?"
What Huckster, peddler, clerk and carpet knight
Who vauntng, now come 10 the front TO fight
For Office, so bold; call ye these men soldiers
And put them now las soldiers true in front
OF vets" who bore from year to year the brunt,
On sea and land, of battle and campaign?
They who fought and marched and fought again,
Through bsterlng heat, mud, snow, and rain,
Who many nights on field In mountain wood,
Alone with selfRnd God on lonely vigil stood,
Who starved, and froze, and pinned In prison cell,
Patiently, sternly, battling to the end,
These are the men of" whom you love to tell;n
And Of these soldiers are many brave men,
Whom, for their sacrifice for country's sake"
All the worlds gold cannot repay or make
Them whole In health and limb and happiness.
Some served in places son. with high pay.
Such prompt their full reward, drew each payday,
Whilst others, to 20, certain rank must have;
But receiving thls-tO their credit bo II said
Many fell on the field, or came back home
Covered with honors, full wen repaid;
For such In full their claims ever promptly made,
hut another class ofmen went out to dght,
Who, u they could not first receive star,
An eagle took, or a captains bar;
And, rather thUn miss. IN the ranks enlisted;
Aud patriot mea who nothing asked
But Inconsistencies some would say
Their muskeis took, nor asking rank and pay,
Bidding dear friends and happy homes adieu.
Down to the mont they marched, asking naught
ofwhat- duty-mlght be before them.
And to these truest men, these men alone,
Backed rs they were by loyal people,
DO we owe our ey'ry victory won,
And the grand glorious truth that to-day
by Gods great blessing we are a Nation,
Ofthese needless boys many came not back.
In crowded hospitals, feverracked,
on deadly line, In battles smoke and roar,
Went they down like grass before the mower;
And In field and wood aud on mountain top,
In old oceans bed, morass and tangled copse
Al DER the sunny South their bones to-day
Our Nations martyrs-do bleach aud moulder.
OF their comrades, whom Gods mercy spared,
Many thousands home returned worn with strife.
Crippled and malmod broken, dcspaIred,
or all-but conscience brlght-that's best In life.
And the people cried, the loyal band,
That high TO low, In office DER the land,
Tho gallant soldier" should he preferred.
II this was right why see we now to-day
Young mon and able bodied, men with ample pay,
Young men with prospects fair, high profession,
Men with no claims ON country OF n faction,
And worse these Falsiaifs with tholr pompOus way
Who on reslgnd to fight another day 49,
Strive 10 push down and out In the cold the men
Who bore the rebel scott Ia prison pen;
VINO, la days past, stood In storm so trying,
Which sweeping on, let them bleeding and faint,
on lhe field, midst the dead and dyingi
Striving TO push down and out the men, these
Who, loving lie dearly, and home and ease,
| All this didi that We might be u Nation?

BEAUTIFULLY MARRIED.

Merrily pealed forth upon the crisp, wintry air
the bells OF st. AlOySus Church Inside the chan
eel of the sacred ediiice kneeled Gertrude Gihooly
ana Maurice Mountlivcr, the sweet winsome face
of the girl looking more womnnly pure than ever

ness showed in iui perfection every outline of her
peerless form. AS She placed her Palais Royal six
buttoncd kid -gloved hand in that of Maurice aud
repeated after the holy man of God the words that
gave her for life to the one she loved, the faint
sufTllsion of a blush tinged with rosy tint her
damask cheek, and the soulful eyes looked low
ingly into those of the man for whose sake she
would willingly have gwen her life. As the last
low notes of the organ stole in dreamy, sensuous
measures through the dimly;lghled church,
Maurice bent over his bonny bride and kissed her
silently but warmly on the right ear.

" He began by saying that the employment Of

ored people thatthe measure could not have been
successfully adopted at the beginning of the war,
and that the wisdom Of making colored men SOL
dfcrs was still doubted; that their enlistment was
aserious ofiense TO popular prejudice; that they
had larger motives for being soldiers than white
men that they ought TO be willing TO enter the
service upon any conditions; that the fact
that they were not TO receive the same
pay rs white soldiers seemed necessary

employment at all az soldiers, but that ultimately
they would receive the same. on the second

the confederate soldiers who had been guilty OF
treating cOlorcd soldiers MS fcons he could easily

men for crime perpotrated by others was

third point he appeared to have less difficulty,

He simply said that he would sign any commission

REGIANA

In tho supplement Of the p. G. ADVERTISER
Of April BIRD We published the following sonnet
and accompanying remarks and having received
some additional poetic lines from the royal party,
we take pleasure in presenting them, along with
the sonnet, for the perusal Of our readers -
- Among the incidents Of the journey Of His
Majesty, when at sea on board the Oceanic, and
sailing across the meridian Of Honolulu, but
few degrees 10 the northWard Of this Archipelago;
conversation OF the royal party and travelling
friends turned upon the home feeling that sprung
up in Hawaiian hearts, yearning for their own
loved shores, when thus passing them by, as it
were. And HIS Majesty touched with remini-
scenes Of his Kingdom, his people and his Queen,
especially the latter, gave such tender express
sion 10 his home and domestic feelings, that
little poetic inspiration there and then present,
shaped the faithful. royal emotion into the follow
ing lines. We accept them, not only a watt
of emotion from the King on the high sea, TO His
Queen. but also to all His People"

some incidents in the employment and condition
Of Hindoo women, which presented striking
contrast to the condition and occupation OF the
women Of his Kingdom. While staying at the
Great Eastern Hotel and looking out from a win

ers in the erection of building; women were
the bod carriers, who supplied the men laying the
walls, with brick and mortar. These female toll
ers were partly nude, being only protected by a
strip wound around their lOins like the Hawaiian
pau. Each woman had pad on her head, and
on this she poised the box or basket filed with
material, and then assembled lofty ladder with
small bare feet. And thus these women Of an
overcrovded population perform drudgeries not

Among the sights which interested the royal
party during their stay at Moulmein was that of
che elephants at work. The sagacity and intelli-
gence Of the siepSsr,s used by TIE Burmese Is
wonderful At Moulmein theJ are trained to
transport the heavy logs of teak wood from the
beach to the saw-mil!s. They follow one another
to the beach in - Indian fle,' marching with
that quiet steady step which appears so slow, but
which is really quick enough to oblige the man
who would keep pace with it to run. The first
OF the 6le, on arriving at the beach, will pick up
q log, shifting his trunk from point to point till
be has got il fairly balanced, and then, resting
the log between trunk and tusks will carry it of to

the mill by the elephants themselves without the
assistance Of their keepers or Of any other work
men and these sagaciOus animals are so expert
that should a log not drop into its proper place
at once they will not leave il until 1t has been
adjusted. They will even assist one another.
