THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.

A few years ago the ladies Of Southern
city, laying aside all prejudice ana nI-IeennS
strewed With flowers the graves OF Conle9et
ate and Union soldien; imPsrnsiiy sna ~. ~.
inEly. The following beautiful poem va
written on that occasion:
By the fiow Of the inland river.
Whence the fleets OF iron have fed.
Where the blades OF new grass Quiver.
Asleep are the ranks Of the dead.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment Day.
Under the one the Blue,
Under the other the Gray.
These in the robing Of glory.
Those in the gloom OF defeat,
All with tho battle-blood CORY.
In the dusk Of eternity meet.
Under the sod and the dew,
waiting the Judgment Day.
Under the laurel the Blue.
Under the willow the Gray.
From the silence Of sorrowful hours,
The desolate mourne1 go,
Lovingly laden with flowers,
Alike for the friend and the foe.
Under tho sod and the dew.
Waiting the Judgment Day.
Under the roses the Blue,
Under the lilies the Gray.
So with An equal splendor
The mornings sun-rays fall,
With touch impartially tender.
On the blossoms blooming for all.
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the Judgment Day.
'Broidered with gold the Blue,
Mellowed with gold the Gray.
owhen the Summer calleth.
On forest and fields OF grain.
With an equal murmur faleth
The cosling drip OF the rain.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment Day,
Wet with the rain the Blue,
Wet with the rain the Gray.
Sadly. but not with upbraiding.
The generous deed was done:
In the storm Of years that are fading
Ne braver battle was won.
UAdsr the sod and the dew.
Waiting the Judgment Day,
Under the blossoms the Blue,
Under the garlsnds the Gray.
Ne moro shall the war-cry sever,
Or the winding river be red;
They Danish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves OF our dead
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the Judgment Day,
Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Gray.

mons will have their election the

President Turner visited the Par
thenon society at its last meeting
and gave the Parths. many pertinent
words of a. vice and encouragement.
1t is certainly encouraging to the
societies to see the President take
such an active interest in their
workings and success.
The Columbian society has issued
a challenge to the Parthenon to con-
test for purse or honors sometime
before the end of the present session,
sld the Parthenons have duly ac-
cepted and we may expect them to
put on the war paint pretty soon.
Another encouragement has also
been given to the societies in the
shape of gold medal to be awarded
to the one who shall deliver the best
original grafton, to be delivered be-
fore committee selected by the So
cieties and the President of the Uni
versity. A medal is offered to each
society. The societies have not yet
accepted the offer. but there is no
doubt about their accepting it with
thanks to the donor. The gentle
man to whom the societies are in
debted for this magnificent offer is
Hon. W. S. Henshaw, of Martins
burg.
Lieut.. Wilson brought the cadets
down street Monday.

WHEREAS, Recognizing the vast
importance of knowledge of the
leading literature Of the day, and
the great benefits resulting from a
prescribed and studied course of

ton with others than ourselves, so
that criticisms may be offered and
ideas exchanged, and fully believing
that nothing could offer more pleas
ure and benefit to everyone concern
ed than an occasional evening so
spent, and further recognizing the
fact that no such highly advantage
Gus course of study can be success
fully pursued without some sort of
social organization, therefore be it
RESOLVED, That we, the undersign.
ed, do declare ourselves society for
mutual improvement in History, BIZ
ography, Poetry, Fiction, Music, &c,
and have adopted for our govern

While they gazed in rapture on the
turgid stream they were startled by
one of the young ladies' crying out:
"Oh, my new hat has fallen into the
water and papa paid almost five dol

frantic with grief, and it was with
great difficulty that the young ladies
prevented him from jumping into the

FIRE. FIRE.-DEsrRUcIoS OF TWO
DWELLING HousEs.-On last Friday
night Nov. 18th, the mansion house
on the old Hawthorne farm, on "A
ron's creek about three miles from
town, was burned to the ground.
The house was occupied by the wild
ow and family of the late Gus. Wells
who died there recently and who lost
in the flames nearly all their per
sonal effects. Mrs. Wells managed
to save her sewing machine and one
feather bed; except these and a few
trifing articles, all her household
and kitchen furniture were consumed
leaving her and her family in desti-
tute circumstances.
The house occupied by Charles
Common, ON f. L. Morgan's farm
about two miles southeast of Nor
gantown, was burned on Saturday,
Nov. 14th. We have not heard an
estimate of the loss nor the cause of
the fire.
