DEAD.

Vainly the sun was glowing,
And soft South winds were blowing
Vainly the earth awakened to bud and
bloom
fingered the winter dreary
In my heart with grief aweary,
AS stood with aching breast at the door
of a tomb.
My dead lay prone and smitten,
And no resurgam, written
Across the cold, blank walls, in promise
shone;
No hint of far Forever
But I read that one word, '' Never
And saw that against the portal was roll
ed a stone. a54s.4.
Away turned me sadly,
No longer weeping madly,
Trusting to time for dulling the edge of
pain sstss 6esa
The years went on, slow-sweeping,
And MOSES came, slow-creeping,
And hid the door that never shall ope
again.
IT'S not father or mother.
tbs not sister or brother,
That lies where MOSES cover the close
shut door; s ,fei
A dream had fondly cherished,
A sweet hope, sadly perished,-
This is my dead that sleeps to wake, no
more. ~ :,

We Shall Meet Again.

The following beautiful effusion is
from the pen of that gifted jour
nalist, George ID. Prentice:
"The fiat of death is memorable.
There is no appeal for relief from
that great law which dooms us to
dust. We flourish and fade as the
leaves of the forest, and the flowers
that bloom, wither and fade as they
have no Trailer hold upon life than
the mightiest monarch that ever
shook the earth with his footsteps.
Generations will appear and dis
appear as grass, and the multitude
that throngs the world to-day will
disappear as footsteps on the shore.
Men seldom think Of the great
event of death until the shadow falls
across their own path way, hiding
from their eyes the faces of loved
ones whose living smiles was the sun
light Of their existence. Death is
the antagonist of life, and the
thought of the tomb is the skeleton
of all feasts.
We do not want to go through
the dark valley although it's gloomy
passage may lead to paradise; We
do not want to go down into damp
graves even with princes for bed-fel-
lows. In the beautiful drama of
Ion the hopes OF Immortality,
so eloquently uttered by the death
devoted Greek, finds deep repose in
every thoughtful soul. When about
to yield his life sacrifice to fate his
Clemanthe asks if they should meet
again, to which he responded: Il
have asked that dreadful question of
the hills that look eternal-of the
clear streams that flow foreyer-of
the stars, among whose fields of
azure my raised spirits have walked
in glory. All are dumb. Bnt as /
gaze upon thy living face feel that
there is something in love that man
ties through its beauty that cannot
wholly perish. We shall meet again,
Clemanthe.'

Baby's First snow-storm.


All baby, tbs pretty sight,
A scene enchanting, very
No wonder that you clap your hands
No wonder you are merry;
When first the flakes fell one By one,
They set my baby blinking
But now the blue eyes watch the pearls
Without so much as winking.
See, There they come, with twist and
twirl,
As if in anger meeting
And vet they make as little sound
AS baby S heart in beating;
They are the types of joy and peace
Each little drifting rover,
That goes to make the mantle lair
OF charity s sweet cover.
You We seen the sunbeams dancing Dright,
You We seen the moonlight, maybe,
But never such sight as this,
My pretty yearling baby J..
For when the ground was white WIN sho"
Last winter. you were sleeping,
A tiny, little helpless thing,
Just from the angels keeping.
Hold out your little, chubby hand,
And catch a snowflake, daughter;
! 1t melts within the rosy palm,
And leaves drop Of water
It's gone, all gone, my baby-bird,
/ Like other fieeting blisses
Or, like your shining April tears,
That dry meath mother 9 kisses.

A Boston letter to the Baltimore
San gives description of the gold
medal presented to Washington by
Congress, and at present in the
Boston Public Library. 1t has passed
from one possession to another, and
one ofits owner resided in this State,
where the medal was hidden during
the late war.
zone of the most interesting relies
of the Father of his Country and the
events which made him famous is at
present deposited in the Boston Pub
lie Library with other curious souven-
irs that have from time to time been
presented to the city. The deposi-
tory is a perfectly safe one-so safe,
indeed, that comparatively few
people ever dream that the precious
relics can be seen, and few ever see it.
1t might as well be buried with its
case beneath the magnolias or depos-
tied in the tomb at Mount Vernon
with the ashes Of the great man of
our early national life. The relic is
the large gold medal presented to
Washington by Congress for his ser
vices in expelling the British forces
from Boston on the 18th of March,
1776. The medal is peculiarly inter-
esting to Boston as concentrating
the most important event in her his
tory, and was the only gold medal
given by Congress to General Wash
lngton. 1t remained in the Wash
ington family one hundred years, be-
coming the property of George Step

toe Washington, son of Samuel
Washington, eldest brother Of the
General, soon after the latter's death.
The next owner was DIR. Samuel
Walter Washington, eldest son OF
George Steptoe Washinton. When
the Doctr died, at Hasewood, Va, in
1881, the medal became the property
of his widow, and she priced it very
highly, but finally transferred it to her
only son George Lafayette Washing
ton, who had married the daughter OF
her brother, Rev. John B. Clemson,
of Claymont, Delaware. George La
fayette Washington died six or seven
years ago, leaving the medal to his
widow, Mrs. Ann Bull Washington,
of whom it was obtained, with the
proper certificates and vouchers, by
fifty citizens of Boston, who sub
scribed sum of money in the total
sufficiently large to induce the widow
to part with the relic. 1t has been
most carefully preserved, is a most
beautiful and perfect specimen tthe
die and mint, and nowhere upon it is
any evidence OF blemish or sign OF
age.

A War Incident.

The cry of.sOn to Richmond" awak-
ened no enthusiasm in the hearts OF
the "Third Ohio" one day when they
found themselves nroute asprisoners
of war for that famous capital. Nor
were they enthusiastic when they
halted for the night and preparedto
sink supperless into dreamland.
The fifty fourth Virginia Regiment
was encamped near by, and some OF
the men came down to have a look
at thess Yanks."
"Had you coffee 7" asked one, OF a
blue coat, stretched disconsolately ON
the bank.
"Not snp," answered the othe-.
"Ain't you had any rations to-
night ~ "Only crumb or two, from
the bottoms of our haversacks."
This was told the boys of the Fif-
ty-fourth, and old Virginia hospitality
showed itselfat once. The men soon
made their appearance with coffee
kettles, corn bread and bacon, the
!, best they had. In "A few minutes the
J coffee was steaming, the bacon cook
) cd, and prisoners and captors sat
down together around the campfire,
(" like kinsmen true and brothers
I tried" The hungry grateful Yankees
t ate with relish such as no one can
: appreciate unless he has been in a
' like situation.
No wonder there was warm spot
in every heart of the Third Ohio ever
i. after for the generous Fitty-fourth.
D A fresh slide in the magic lantern
+ gives another of those shifting war
3 pictures. In the distance is Mission
(! Ridge, which has just been stormed.
t That long line Of prisoners passing
, over the pontoon bridge and up the
!. stony mountain-side is the Fifty
fourth Virginia. A soldier on duty at
t Kelley S Ferry asked indifferently OF
i one of the prisoners as he passed
| "What regiment is tliisf"
! "The Fifty fourth Virginia." was
y the reply.
Q Instantly the loungers sprang to their
Q feet and rushed to the camp. "The
: Fifty-fourth Virginia is at the ferry, "
!, they shouted, as they ran in and out
t among the tents of the Third Ohio
It The Ohio boys were quickly in mo
ton. Boxes from home and all reserve
S stores were speedily ransacked
Coffee and sugar, beef and canned
o peaches and the best they had oil
d everything were freely brought forth
:, They remembered gratefully theiI
n debt of honor, and nobly they paid it
'i 1t was the same old scene over,
with the shading reversed. For one
10 night at least both Confederates and
>, Yanks enjoyed again the sweet grace
Oh of hospitality that could bring smile
u even to the grim visage of war.

Change of Views at the South.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson, who, in a cer-
tain sense, may be called the originator
Of the recent Atlanta Exposition, con-
tributes to the Midwinter 7. Century
suggestive paper on its Significant AS
poets, y which have political as well an
industrial meaning, as the following IN
1diCates -
In general, it may be said that the
New South is surely surmounting the
intense and dogmatic provincialism
of the Old and is rapidly coming in
to line with the more progressive
States. The most conclusive proof of
the change may be found in the in
structive book entitledss Our Brother
in Black" by President Haygood, of
Emory College, Oxford, Georgia.
If then, Southern men, suffering
even under the sting Of defeat, are,
whether willingly or not, surrender
ing errors which have come to them
from remote generations, and are
now only sensitive when the least
doubt is thrown upon their immedi-
ate ability to take any part in any
manufacturing, mechanical, or other
kind of work, IF they are now in as
dead earest to take up every branch
of profitable work as they formerly
were averse to sharing certain kinds
of manual labor at all,-may it not
be we'll for Northern men to see if
they also have not been controlled
by some errors in regard to the past
history and condition Of the South !?
In the course of a conversation
upon the events preceding the war,
with two grandsons of John C.sCal-
houn, the writer was somewhat
startled by a remark substantially to
this effect:
IF my grandfather and his sasso-
ciates had known as much about the
negro as / know, and could have had
the same faith in his capacity for
progress which / have attained from
my own experience, there would
have been neither slavery nor war;
"Do you mean to tell me,n i ask
ed, "that your grandfather feared
liberty for the black, however com
passed?D
"Of course I mean that" said be.
" What other justification could there
have beena He and his associates
believed that the two races could
not exist together upon the same
soil except in the relation of masters
and slaves.n
One of the gentlemen moved from
South Carolina to the bottom lands
of the Mississippi, with a large num-
berofuhe negroes formerly the slaves
of his family. He has succeeded in
assuring not only his own prospect
ty, but their welfare also, and he
bears conclusive testimony to the
ability of the colored laborers to sus-
tain themselves in comfort.
