Lynn, Mass, says.
while in the army, at the battle of Spott

ON A NAUGHTY BOY, SLEEP.


Just now missed from hall and stair
A joyful trouble that had grown
AS dear TO me as that grave tone
That tells the world my older care.
And little footsteps on the floor
Were strayed. laid aside my pen,
FORGOT my theme, and listened, then
Stole softly to the library door.
No sigh no sound!- moments freak
" fancy thrilled my pulses through:
If-no"-and yet that fancy drew
fathers blood from heart and cheek.
And then-I found him. There be lay,
Surprised by sleep, caught in the act,
The rosy vandal who had sacked
His little teWn and thought il play:
The shatter; vase; tie broken Jar;
a match still smoulderine on the foor;
The inkst2nd's purple pool OF gore;
The chessmen scattered near and far.
stFsEn leaves Of albums lightly pressed
In fact, of half the household goods
THIS son and heir was seized-possessed.
Yet all in vain, for sleep had caught
The hand that reached, the feet that
s.rayed;
And fallen in that ambuscade
The victor was himself 'erwrought.
What though torn leaves an tsttered book
Still testify his deep disgrace?
stopped and kissed the inky lace,
With itsdemure and calm outlook. ~

Then back stole. and half beguiled IN

Should come, there might be one who's

An equal mercy for His child

If he only made himself ridiculous

PENSION PIRATES.
Scheme by Washington
ShysIers TO Swindle Coll
Ored Soldiers.

Washington special to New Orleans Times
| Democrat.
The amount of unnecessary work
which dishonest lawyers all over the
country cause the Pension Bureau of
the interior Department and the
second Auditors Office of the Treas
ury DEPARTMENTS enormous. In the
second Auditors office, for instance,
since the last report Of The Auditor,
less than year ago, 4000 claims have
been fled. Not one tenth of these
claims have any foundation. They
are for back pay aud bounty, for
arrears of pay, for property taken dur
ing the war, and for various other
things The lawyers who file the 3
fraudulent claims know that they are
fraudulent, and do not pretend to
prosecute them after they are filed.
They make their money by charging a
fee of from 50 to S. for making out the
papers, and by getting small fees from
time to time for alleged expenses. The
claimants, becoming tired of waiting
for asettlement, and beginning to dis.
trust their attorneys, write directly to
the department, asking for informa i
ton about their claims. They then
learn for the first time that they have
been duped, and that there is nothing
due them. The usual course which
these dishonest attorneys pursue is to
start a paragraph in the news
papers that Congress has
passed law giving a certain class of
soldiers additional bounty or back
pay, and all that is necessary to get
the money is to file an application for
it. An instance of this sort of practice
occurred very lately. In southern
journals a statement was published |
that Congress, at the last session.
passed law giving colored soldiers
the same pay that was received by the
white soldiers. The publication con-
tanned the further information that
this would give the colored soldiers
about $l0,OO0,000. Of course applica-
tons for this money and inquiries
concerning the alleged law, began
to pour into the Second Auditors
Office from all parts Of y the 7
South, Dishonest attorneys made
out applications for colored sol,
dierS for a few and forwarded them
without inquiring whether or not
there was such a law. Honest attorJ
neys made inquiries before taking
money from the ignorant negroes.
Hon Casey Young, Of Memphis, for
warded a clipping from religious
Journal containing the above men
toned statement, inquiring if it were /
true. He did not want 10 take money
from the negro soldiers without rem.
derlng them some service. He was
informed, as all inquirers are, that |
there is no such law, and that there |
was nothing due the colored men who |
had served in the Union armies. ln.as
In 1864 Congress passed a law giving
the negro troops the same pay received |
by white soldiers, and they were paid |
in accordance with the law. The few |
who were not paid before they were |
discharged were paid afterward. The
colOred veterans will probably pay out
msny a dollar, however, to shysters
before they learn that nothing is due
them. 4a4 Lk5. tI

HOnOrs TO the Brave Dead.

In view of the approaching memorial
services in honor Of the Federal dead
to take place next Sunday at the Ma.
tional Cemetery near this city, the
subjOined article from the New York
Herald of the Both, is exceedingly
timely and appropriate. We commend
its spirit to the ex-Gonfederates and
their relatives and friends, and hope
that they will set the example Of
strewing flowers and paying proper
respect to the memory of those who
opposed them in the civil war twenty
years ago.:
Year by year the custom of cover.
ing soldiers graves with flowers and
holding special memorial services
grows in popularity. To day the
number of persons participating in
the ceremonies in the vicinity Of New
York promises to be greater than ever.
The sentiments that underlie this
great annual celebration are va
rious survivors of the civil
war strew flowers over the dust Of
departed comrades for old association 3
sake, and large portion Of the GEN
eral public assist, because the buried
heroes were among the men who saved
the Union. Many more, however
perhaps majority decorate the graves
of men unknown to them, merely be.

Some of the eombatants in the great
struggle may have been unable "a
clearly define the cause for which
they were warning, but by support
ing their sentiments and princi.
Ules with their lives they proved
their sincerity as we'll as their cour-
age; and, as honesty and bravery are

but Tor their character and efforts
