know nothing of the author or his history,
but without knowing, feel justified in say
ing, " He was not soldier, or he never would
have indicted such a sentence. No one that
i have ever heard of has ever asked the union
soldier to forget his brother in arms, and no
soldier of the union will ever ask the confed-
crate rebel, if you choose, to forget his pride
in the deeds done by his comrades.
How different from this poem are the
words of Col. w. w. Granger (who was a SOL
dier), at the Congressional cemetery, when he
said, 4" Let us carry away with US, as maxims,
these truths: That he who bravely dies for
what he thinks is truth, is worthy of high
credit; but he who dies for what he knows is
true, is nobler still" These are the words
that might be expected from a soldier.
And, again, compare the address of the
Hon. George G. Gorham, the noble sentiments
uttered by him, with the ignoble one in this
verse of Stewards. Gorham's speech is the
effort of q predetermined, liberal man. Stew
arts verse is the output Of II narrow, con-
tracted one. Granger and Gorham told the
truth as to the sentiment of the soldiers.
Stewards verse exceeded even poetic license,
and that allows liberal divergence from the
strict line, though it does not justify the
erection of a right angle to it, II is to be
hoped there are not many Stewards either
in prose or poetry. Ex-CoNFEDERATE.

the argument is based upon tho considera-

Of sentimentality and placed where it be-

step will have been taken in the direction of
