IN MEMORIAMu
Respectfully dedicated to the Holders of Con-
federate Treasury Notes.

1.-THE following verses were found written on IL
back of Confederate motel:
Representing nothing on Gods earth now,
And naught in the waters below it
As the pledge of nation that's dead and gone,
Keep it, dear friend, and show it.
Show it to those who will lend an ear
To the tale that this paper can tell
OF liberty, born of the patriots dream,
OF the storm-cradled nation that fell.
Too poor to possess the precious ore,
And too much of a stranger to borrow;
We issue to-day our promise to pay"
And hope to redeem Oh the morrow.
Days rolled on, and weeks became years,
But our Golfers were empty still;
Coin was so rare that our treasury quaked
If dollar dropped into the till.
But the faith that was in strong indeed
And our poverty well we dscerned
And these little checks represented the pay
That our suffering veterans earned.
We knew it had hardly value In gold
Yet gold the soldier received it;
1t gazed III our eyes with promise TO pay"
And each patriot soldier believed it.
But our boys thought little of price or pay,
Or of bills that were overdue;
We knew if it bought our bread to-day;
Twas the best our poor country could do.
Keep It'll it tells all our history DER,
From the birth of the dream to its last.
Modest, and born of the angel Hopel
Like our hope of success-it passed.

stand on the wheel-house, holding on to the
set off; the ship fetched her last lurch, and as
she went down he uncovered. a cry rose form
| thesea, but not from his lips. The waves had
closed about him, and the curtain of the
| night was drawn over one Of the most sub
lime moral spectacles that the sea ever
saw.
| Just before the steamer went down row
boat was heard approaching. Herndon
hailed her. 1t was the boatswains boat,
rowed by "hard hands and gentle heart"
| returning on board from the brig to report
her disabled condition. If she came along
side she would be engulfed with the sinking
ship. Herndon ordered her to keep off. She
did so, and was saved. This, as far as have
been able to learn, was his last order. For
getfGl Of self, mindful of others, his life was
beautiful to the last; and in his death ne
has added a new glory to the annals of the
sea.
Forty-nine of the passengers and crew
were picked up, floating on the water. that
night and the next morning by the Norwe-
gian barque Ellen, Captain Johnson, and
Brought safely into Norfolk on the 9th day
after the wreck. The English brig Mary
picked mp three others who had drifted
about 45C miles with the gulf stream. To-
tai saved, 152.
The Central America sunk about p. m,
Of September 12, 1857, near the outer edge
Of the gulf stream, and the parallel of 81
degrees and IS minutes north.
1t does not appear certain that her COM
mander was seen or heard, after she went
down, by any Of those who survived the
wreck. Mr.. Childs, one of the passengers.
thinks he conversed with him in the water
after midnight on Saturday, only a little
while before he himself was picked up. But
HeTndOn was small of stature, of delicate
frame and constitution and by no means in
robust health. He was already suffering
from the incessant labor and exposure of the
last two days and that long Friday night.
His fatigue must have been great and when
the waves closed over his ship he was, in all
probability, too much exhausted to STRUGGLE
with the rest in that pool of drowning men
for floats and life.
Everything that could be done by the
best sea captain to save his ship was done to
save this one. Brave hearts aud strong
arms and willing minds were on board !
There were 10 lack of skill or of courage !
Order and discipline were preserved to the |
last; and she went down under conduct that |
fills the heart with sentiments of unutter- |
able admiration.
Herndon was in the 4tth year of his age.
He was born in fredericksburg Virginia, on
the 25th day of October, 1918. He was the |
son of the late Dabney Herndon of that |
place, and was the fifth of seven children;
five sons and two daughters, of whom Mrs |
NIaury is the elder. He was named after |
Captain William Lewis, of the navy, who |
was lost at sea on board the United States |
brig Epervier. Lewis Herndon was left early |
an orphan, and entered the navy at the age
of fifteen. Affectionate in disposition, soft |
and gentle in hi; manner, he was beloved of .
his own; he also won the love and esteem of
his associates wherever he went, and he be-
came favorite throughout the service.
