SATURDAY

Yes, we are through with
it" we'll through with it
in the best of senses. We
can afford a backward view
a bit, while we take a hearty
handshake over the result.
What was it like !?
A battle ? We labored
side by side where the strug-
gle was fercest. Some OF
our 5000 we're raw recruits,
but you helped us with a
mighty army, and though
some nights we scarce rest
ed on our arms at all, we
moved steadily on to the
end.
Was it a river ? A stream
may carry off a large vol
ume, but stop the flow, mass
up the food and see the
mischief. Check it for an
hour, and the great store
wese blocked. 1t flowed
smoothly, because it flowed
constantly.
Was it a hill /! Steep to
view, like many obstacles,
but overcome when closely
met. Last year folks said {:
:" Surely here is the highest
hill-and the highest you can
climb" but it wasn't. This
hill has proveda good many
thousand dollars higher than
the other, and it wasclimbed
a good deal easier to both
of us-now, wasn't it
But from metaphor to the
actualities of to-day. AS in
timated, our sales have been
enormous, much greater than
ever before. You've all Jared
sumptuously at the Christ
mas feast. Notwithstanding
this, we have to-day an as
sortment ample to supply all
seekers, and probably dou-
bic that of other retail houses
in the city. Among these
vast stocks, especially Of
fancy goods, you'll very nat.
urally, at this season, find
some surprisingprices. There
are advantages here, favor

Move my armchair. faithful Pompey,
In the sunshine bright and strong,
For this world 10 fading, Pompsy-
Nassa won't be with y0u long;
And fSin would hear the soJth wind
Bring once more the sound 10 no
OF the wavslets softly bresking
On the shores Of rsnnessee,
"Msurnful Tough the rippies murmur,
= Az they still the story tell,
How no vessels float the banner
That I've loved 10 long and we'll,
shall listen 10 their music,
Dreaming that again see
starr and Stripes on slo0p and shallop,
Sailing W the Tennessee.
"And, Pompey, while old Massss waiting
For deaths last despatch " come,
II hatexiled starry banner
Should come proudly sailing homo,
You shall greet 1t, slave no longer
Voice and HAND shall both be free
That shouts and points ~ Union cOlors,

"MAssa's berry kind 70 Pompey;
but ole darksy's happy here,
Where he's tended corn and cotton
For 'ese many long.xod 40 year;
Over yonder Missis's sleeping-
No one tends her grave like me;
Mcbbe she would miss the flowers
She used TO love In Tennessee.
"'Pears like she Was Watching Massa,
lfPompsy should beside him stay;
Mebbe she'd remember better
How Tor him she used to pray;
Telling him that way W. yontsr
White a. snow his soul would BE-
II no served he Lord of Heaven
While he lived in Tennessee
Silently the tears were rolling
Down the poor old dusky lace,
As be stepped behind his master,
In his long accustomed place.
Then . silence fell around them,
As they gazcd on rock and tree
Pictured In the placid waters
Ofthe rolling Tennessee -
Master, dreaming Of the battle
Where he fought by Marion's side,
When he bid tho naughty TarlotOn
Stoop his lordly crest Of pride;
Man, RENE n bering how yVn sleeper
Once he'd held up his knee.
Ere she loved the gallant soldier,
kalyh VervaiP. Of tennessee.
Still the south wind fondly fingers
Mid the veterans silvery halr;
Still the bOndmAn, close beside him,
With his dark-hued hand uplifted,
Shading eyes, he bends to see
Where the woodland, boldly jutting,
Turns aside the Tennessee.
Thus he watches oloud-born shadows
Glide from tree TO mountain crest,
Softly creeping. aye and ever,
To tho rivers yielding breast.
Hs above the foliage yonder
Something tiutters wild and free
"Massa Massa! Hallelujahi
The days come back to Tennessee !"
"Pompey. hold mo on your shoulder,
Help me stand on foot once more,
That may salute the cOl0rs
Az they pass my cabin door.
Here's the paper signed that frees y0u;
Give freemHn's shout with me-
God and Union y be our watchw0fd
Evern0re In Tennessee"
Then the trembling voice grew fainter,
And the limbs refused to stand
One prayer TO Jesus-and the soldier
alfded to that better land.
When the flag vent down the river,
Man and master both were free,
While the ring doves note was mingled
With the rippling Tennessee.
