MUSTERED OUT"

There's = lonely grave in Virginia,
And nameless sleeper there,
That fell when the ti.ls Of battle
Rolled over the land 90 fair,
No costly marble marks the spot
Where he fell mid wars stern rout
But q rough hewn cross and the simptt
words,
"A soldier mustered out"
There are graves in the "Old Domin.
ion"
Where her heroes are at rest.
And piles of bronze and marble
Stand above each sleeper's breast:
But none are there among them ali
That deck her hills abont,
With tomb so graudly simple
As that soldiers ''mustered out"
It stands in its solemn beauty
BY the ever moaning sea,
And the passing schooner proudly
The flag he died to free.
The white capped biliows bow their
heads,
And ali the waters shout
And fling their foam wreaths round
the grave
Who're he sleeps, ."mustered OUT"
These waters on that dreadful day
Had seen him fighting fall,
And mtngltnG with the battles smoke
Had made the soldiers pail.
No arms reversed, no muffied drum.
But shot and groan and shout
Ih0AA fhA IL ~
air,
When he was "mustered out."
No music Of soft requiems,
No church bells toIiihg low,
But clash of arms and cannon's boom.
When he was called to go.
His shroud blood-stalned, tattered
Dag,
His hymn the victor's shout,
HIS knell "Cumberland's q" last gun;
When he was mustered out
All heroes sleep not meath tall shafts,
Nor monuments of stone;
For many graves are marked, alas!
With one short word, "Unknown."
They sleep who fought % brave as those
For whom the millions shout,
Till the Lord Of battles gave command,
And they were mustered QUIZ
But He who marks the 'sparrow's fall
Knows where each hero lies,
And humble blood for justice shed
By Him is not despised.
And when in the last reveille,
The dead rauks throng about,
Foremost amOnQ the iuet shall stand
Those soldiers "mustered out"

A SOUTHERN VIEW.
Why THE coNrEDERACY WAS CON.
QUERED. =

The Confederate soldier opposed I'm
mense odds. In the seven days battle
around Richmond $4,000 drove to the
James river ll5,O0O Federal troops.
At Charlottesville, iu 1863, $1,000,
under Lee and Jackson, whipped, and
but for the death of jackson, would
have anuihilated an army of l32, 900,
more than double tlteir own number.
At Gettysburg:62, 900 of them assailed
the height manned by $4,000. At the
Wilderness, Tin 1864, 63,0OO met aud
successfully resisted l5O, 900 of the en-
envy. At Appomattox, in 1865, 5000
Of them surrendered to the post COM
manded by Grant. The United; ;statee
government at the end of the war,
mustered ont of service l,OOO,O 900 Of
men, and had in the field, from first to
last, 100000. II the Confederate
s"ldier had then had only this dispari-
ty Of numbers to contend with he
would have driven every invader
from the soil of Virginia.
But the Confederate soldier fought,
in addition to these odds, the facilities
for the transportation and concentra-
ton of troops and supplies afforded by
the network of railroad in the coun-
try north ofhim, all of which were sub
ject to the control Of the government,
and backed by q treasury which was
turning out money by the ton, one dol
lar Of which was worth. sixty Confed
crate dollars.
It should be remembered, also, that
while the south supplies, and its own
people for men, the north drew on the
world for material; and on every ma
ton of the earth for men.
The arms and ammunition of the
Federal col tiers were abundant and
good, 90 abundant and 90 good that
they supplied both armies, and were
generally preferred BY Confederate
officers. The equipment Of the FEEDER
al armies was we'll nigh perfect. The
facilities for manufacture were simply
unlimited, and the nation thought no
expenditure of treasure too great, if
only the Countrywide union could be |
saved. The factory and foundry chin

bought when the Confederates captur-

Commissary stores were piled up all
over yirgiuia for the use Of the invad-
ing armies. They had more than they
could protect. and their loss was a
gain to the hungry defenders Of the
soil. The Confederate soldiers fought
a hosts Of ills occasioned by the lepri-
walton Of chloroform and morphia,
which were excluded from the confed-
eracy as contraband Of war. The man

Tha Aroostook Murdar


The North Sta Of Presque Isle gives the fol
lowing account OF the recent murder at Chap
man Plantation
In the southwest part OF Chapman there
have lived for some time one John Hanson,
who came here from New Brunswick, and John
Swanbsck, German and soldier in the late
war. Hanson was known here as drunken,
noisy and profane man with very i'll temper.
Swanback was generally supposed to be
somewhat quiet, inoffensive person, though
some OF his neighbors now claim that he also
was cursed with a bad disposition. The two
men, whose wives are sisters, had lived near
each other and had had more or less trouble
about line fences, the breaking in of cattle,
difficulties not unusual with neighbors Monday
Swanback threw down some bars placed by
Hanson across the highway, letting out the
catJle of the latter, whereupon Hanson took
his gun, marched down to the fence to "main-
tain his rights" He was in fury and threat
e1ed Swanpack's life. The latter seeing Han
to argue the matter that had caused the trou-
BILE. The talk waskof that kind INDUCED in by
Infatuated men; the talk brought threats, when
Hanson raised his gun, but Swanback being
the quicker OF the two fred, the ball entering
near HansOn's heart and killing him instantly
The gun of the latter was fred about the same
time large leaden slug striking Swanback
Just below the right elbow joint, blowing its
way through, making exit ON the opposite side,
splintering the bones and producing very bad
wound.
Sheriff Barto visited the scene Of the mar
der, arrested Swanback and brought him to this
village, where his wounds were dressed Tues
day morning he was carried to Houlton Jail to
await his trial in September II is hardly pos
sble TO save his arm from amputation as all the
surroundings are against the possibility of re-
ooyery.
