THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHINGTON THURSDAY

full ending the NIid-May Carnival just closed and
which has sweled the treasury OF our relief fund,
by 81 900, therefore
Resolved, That we recognize that the success of
the great undertaking is due entirely TO them.
Resolced, That in this their present action, we
see but reflection of their many noble acts during
the war;
Resotred, That this Post in behalf of our comrades
In distress, their widows and orphans tend to For
syth Post Woman's Auxiliary Society our heartfelt
thanks. and that copy hereof duly authenticated,
be forwarded to their president.
Mrs. Rebecea Steedman McCann recited the
Reunion poem, published in THE TRIBUNE in
April last, before the Ohio Prisoners Associa-
tion, at Newark, Ohio, beginning:
Whenever hear the fife and the drum,
And the bugles wildly play,
My heart is stirred like frightened bird,
And struggles to break away. sf
Tears ran down the cheeks of the old vet
erans at the recital, and Mrs. MeCann was re-
called again and again. She recites again be-
fore the association at the Columbus Soldiers
and Sailors Reunion the latter part of July.
Mrs. MeCann is the widow of soldier, daugh-
ter of Colonel Steedman and niece of General
James B. Steedman, of Chiekamauga fame. She
takes care of her children through the money
she earns by her recitations, and is greatly in
demand at Camp-fres and Reunions.

Blue and Gray.

oh, mother, what do they mean by blue.
And what do they mean by gray?"
Was heard from the lips of little child
As she bounded in from play.
The mothers eyes filed up with tears;
She turned to her darling fair,
And smoothed away from the sunny brow
Its treasures of golden hair.
"Why mothers eyes are blue, my sweet,
And grandpas hair is gray,
And the love we bear our darling child
Grows stronger every day"
" But what did they meant" persisted the child;
- For saw two crippes to-day,
And one of them said he fought for the blue;
The other, he fought Tor the gray.
"Now he of blue had lost a leg
And the other had but srm
And both seemed worn and weary and sad.
Yet their greeting was kind and warm.
They told of battles III days gone by,
Till it made my young blood thrill:
The leg was lost i'll the Wilderness fight,
And the arm ON Malvern Hill.
"They sat on the stone by the farm-yard gate
And talked for an hour more
Till their eyes grew bright and their hearts seemed
with fighting their battles DER.
And parting at last with 8 friendly grasp,
In q kindly, brotherly way,
Each calling on God to speed the time
Uniting the blue and the gray
Then the mother thought of other days
Two staIwart boys from her riven;
How they kneit at her side and iisping, prayed
.sOur Father which art in Heaven;
How wore the gray and the other the blue,
How they passed away from sight,
And had gone to the land where gray and blue
Are merged in colors of light.
And she answered her darling with golden hair,
While her heart sadly rung
With the thoughts awakened In that sad hour
By her innocent, prastiing tongue
The biue and the gray the colors of Gods
They are seen IN the sky at even,
And many a noble, gallant soul
Has found them passports to heaven

General Wade Hampton Takes an Appeal from
This to Another World.
The monument erected by the women of
Kershaw county, South Carolina, in memory
of the Confederate dead, was dedicated on the
Goth inst. There was grand military demon
stration in which twenty companies, compris-
ing more than 1000 men, participated. Colo
mel E. B. Cantry, of Camden, acted as chief
marshal, and Brigadier-G General Richardson, of
Sumter, commanded the troops. The crowd
attending the ceremonies was estimated at
5000. Senators Hampton and Butler Governor
Thompson and other distinguished men were
present. The ceremonies of unveiling con-
sisted of an artillery salute, dedicatory prayer,
ode by the ladies and addresses. The veil was
stripped from the monument by group of
young ladies. Senator Hampton delivered the
memorial Grafton. He paid glowing tribute
to the faith, devotion and patience of Southern
women, and said:
When the true history of the war shall be writ
ten, the will not oaiy occupy the first place
in our hearts, but the first in honor They will al
ways repel with scorn and Indignation the impu-
tation that the monuments to the Confederate
dead marked the places where traitors slept We,
of the South were neither traitors nor rebels nor
was in any sense rebellion. It was
strictly civil war, growing out OF conflicting in
ferests and different constructions of the Consti-
tuition by the opposing sections of the country. L
congratulate the country that the future is au-
spicous, and that the of war being oblit-
Grated by time, and demand that our former enc
mics do justice to the motives that inspired our
conduct.
The great questions which were at issue between
the North and the South, and which were left to
the arhitrament of war, We're decided against US,
but the sword never has decided. and never will
decide, aqueston involving great principle. The
final judgment to the motives and the actions
of man rests with higher tribunal than any on
this earth and to that last great court of appeal
must every question of right and wrong be sub
nlitted. But we have divine command to yield
-
duty of every good citizen who receives the pro-
lection of the Government to obey its laws. There
Is no inconsistency in our giving to the Constitu-
tion and the laws under which we live earnest,
conscientious support, while we hold in tender
reverence the memory of the men who died for
the cause we held TO be just and right.

SOME WAR POEMS.
In Memeriani.
by Hrs. B. +. Dame.


Memorial Day, and ii seemed the skies
Were never more deeply, brightly blue.
The suubeams gladdcned the smiling earth
With their radiant light the long day through.
sweet, sad day, when the veterans made
Their yearly offerings to- the brave,
Who Loyalty, faithfully fought with them,
True TO the Union they died TO save.
Bat one loved comrade lay silent and wan,
On his weary couch of pain and DEATH
In vain for him did the spring flowers bloona,
The soft breezes touch him with gentle breath
For months he had battled with a foe
More mighty than that in years gone by,
When he met the enemy face to face
With dauntleS5 nerve and untinching eye.
Twas long long struggle, but dread disease
Had conquered the strong brave heart at lasti
Its restless throbbings would soon be stilied,
For the cords of life were loosening fast;
But he had 50 longed to behold the dawn
OF one more dear Memorial Day
II only that boon could be given him,
lie would be content to pass away.
The wish was grauted-no fairer day
Had ever beamea on his waiting eyes
Than the one on which his spirit passed
TO the far camp grounds of Paradise.
He could hear them coniing-comrades in arms
The old. old souLd OF their marching feet,
The beat of the drum, the clear sweet notes
OF music waited in from the street.
Strong hands to the window his couch had borne
And slowly and sadly the men filed past,
Each casping his hand in last farewell,
with tijItYerffig lips, tears iailiIi2 last
The line moved on, but the piaintiye strains
That foated back on the perfumed ar,
Seemed almost TO thrill the innlo5t soul
OF the veteran who hay dying there.
Still farther away and more distant came
The martial sounds he had loved so we'll.
Still slower and feebler the true heart throbbed,
Whose patriot fire but death could quel,
Yet fainter the nausic-an6i farther off
SCENE q the hollow thId of distant drum;
While fainter and weaker grew the pulse,
EJtieriur
Then almost a silence-tiu low but clear,
Away in the distance, soft sweet strain,
So thrillingly sweet Swelled out on the air;
Then it ceased and came not back again
It had passed away TO return no more,
And with it had fed nloFtai's breath
Who would battle no more with sin or pain,
For the weary eonrade slept in death.
THE above poem was founded on ineiden
which occurred at Groveand, Mass. Meinoria
Day, 1852. CoTnrade Charles Fl. Smith, msmbe
of Post 10i had been slowly dyieg of consumption
for two years. Feeling that his days, and even hi
hours numbered, he expressed desire tha
he might live to see the procession one more Me
mortal Day. The Post marched from the hall {
his residence; his bed was moved near the win
dow, where each comrade took him by the han,
in a last farewell grasp. It was indeed an affect
ing scene, and the spirit of coiIirade went on
with the sound of the drum and the tread of hi
comrades in arms al o'clock that afternoon.--ED
