Iowa County Democrat
",IAUD MULLER,s,, BROTHER.

He ambled along down the stone -flecked lane,
And out from his midst there frequent came
A full-strength cuss word, deep ana low,
AS he knocked a nail from a Wanton toei
And he wished he was deadrn Socrates,
And the robin sang out a chime from the trees.
And he .wished-as he stepped on a business
brier
Which made him reflect, "by gosh, Marier,"
That he was hundred miles away
From the farm and the meadow and the making
hay,
And ''Brindle" and bright and the kicking
And the blackbiris sang in the alder bougbs.
Now poet, who sat on a moss hid stump,
With his face in a smile and his back IN hump.
Had heard the boy as he muttered away,
And he called him hithcr and babe him say
What life he choose If he had his pick
And the brown thrushes pipcd from new-Onlt
rick
And the lad looked up with his eyes in mist
And, cutting snack of Virginia Twist,
He paused for "A moment then child.hke sad;
Az he dropped on his bosom his old gold head;
please. Mister Sir, if il S all the same
And the thrill Of sIe thrush from the hed2erow
came
"PIeasc. Mister Sir. tho boy began.
And tears courscd down through the fGA and
tan
could tell We SO suddtnk twould make sc sick
I'd be a cashier in n sav."g bank
AID the poet fell over limp and lank.
And the simple chit with his tender thought,
From his sweet desiia his wish was wrought,
And he rides in a chariot gilt and gay
And the poet is On the box, they say;
And the world hies hence with it, Jam and jerk,
And the birds, rs ef Did, get Ia Their work

from the result of which he never re-
covered, and for which pension was
granted him. This pension his widow
asks to have increased.
Among the curiositles of the pen
sion office which were, but are not,
are great number of samplers,
pieces of canvas into which in Revol-
utlonary days it was customary for
TIE fair fingers of our grandmothers
to prick with needle their family
history. Hundreds of these were sent
to the pension office as an evidence of
the identity of. the pensioner or his
descendants, and when Major Web
ster took charge of the ante civil war
department these were lying mixed up
with the other papers, which he has
since brought from chaos to order.
There were also shown five 10 ten
bushels of bibles containing family
records, and these, together with the
samplers, have been returned to the
great-granddaughters and great
grandsons Of their owners, wherever
they could be traced.
The office has now the great major
ity of the rolls of the Revolution.
These contain pretty fun history of
each company, aud each man of the
company of the regiments which they
| represent. There is a tradition IN
most of the states that these rolls We're
merely loaned to the government, and
there is a strong pressure from several
of the states to recover them. They
have, however, no certain evidence
that will enable them to attach them,
and the government will hold on to
them until they are published, when
by an act of congress they will prob
ably be returned to the states from
which they came. Such publica-
ton is being actually prepared,
though as yet congress has made no
provision for it. 1t will be very val
liable, and hundreds of thousands of
the descendants of the Revolutionary
soldiers will grasp for it eagerly. 1t
will require from fifteen to twenty
volumes about the size of the ordinary
law book, and will take several years
in its compilation.
