On board the nnof war Vermont
At the navy;yar1 we lny
Thu lights oflhe city shone through the night
That closed on the winters day.
Silence reigned through the giant ship,
And the men I'm their hammocks reclined
We heard no sound but the tapping waves,
And the whistle of the wind.
Then, sweet and clear, rom Tie durkcfed deck
1heard q bugle blow:
II pierced the night like a shaft of light
And sounded above and below
II was MS sweet and clear as midnight bells
DER faint blue bills that chime.
II was like the remembered music
OF some half forgotten rhyme.
Perhaps In the hammocks n tear drop fell
on the check OF some son of the sea,
AS the bugle sang through the wintry night
Nearer My God 10 Thee"
The friends who gathered on board that night
year will have suudered far;
Some will sail meath the Southern Cross,
Some toward the Polar Star.
But often of home and our native land
Well think when the lamp burns low,
And call the roll of our absent frictids
When the bugics OF memory blow.

FOUND IN a COAL CELLAR.
Singular Discovery of II Portrait of
Robert u. Lee.

Robert T.. Lee.
Some six months ago, says the St. Louis
Republican, boy in the employ of Pfeil
IL Bauer, at No. 5lS North Third street,
while rummaging about in the cellar cX-
humcd from the rubbish and coal heap a
large picture in gilt frame, which was
SO besmcared with dirt that for some time
1T eould not lie recognized. II had prob
ably idih there for years either hidden
away tor some cause or another or pos
sibly discarded and forgotten by its former
owner. The picture was cleaned up and
the boy was given dollar for his find.
1t IL aportrait nc Uphcral Robert Il. Lee,
and was painted by Mat Hastings, from
an original ambrotypc taken by II. Il.
Uric, for the ladies of the Southern Relief
Fair, held near the close of the war in
Larrlmorc's warehouse for the benefit of
the Southern people. Mr.. Uric repaired
to Richmond Va, to procure u photo
graph OF General Lee. He found the
General ut his residence in Broud street,
and made known 10 him the object of his
visit. Wien Il boy Mr.. Uric knew the
General, who was then Il captain in the
United States Army, residing at Alcxan-
dria, Va, where Mr.. Uric was born and
brought up.
1t seemed TO he pleasure for General
Lee to do anything To aid in the objects of
thc southern Relief Association. He
dressed himselfin the gray suit presented
by the ladies of Baltimore after the surren-
der, took u position on the porch and
having placed himself as desired u mega
tive was taken in the space of four seconds
On returning to st. Louis, an enlarged
photograph was made in Mr. Urie's gal
lcry, from which Mr. Hastings painted
the portrait. II represents the General
sitting in il,rcc-y,arltr position, life size
barchcpdcd, and holding II quill pen in
the right hand. The canvas was put i'm u
gildcd frame costing $50 and was pre-
scented to the Southern Relief Fair Associ-
alton. After being on exhibition it was
rallied of and brought 81 900, The party
winning the picture donated it back to the
association, when it was rallied Off again
for 81, 900. Then il was given to the South
ern Relief Fair in New Orleans, and it
has been reported, brought $1,000 in the
rattle there, and now it turns up in n
coalbin of Il cellar.
