How Sheridan Came.

Recall with me that break of day
when thirty thousand men In gray
From out the forest cold and damp
with shout and yell fell on your camp,
All through the night across the fords
The rebel chief had led his hordes;
All through the night, beneath the trees
That scarcely quivered in the breeze,
With tiger tread and bated breath,
Forward had crept the ranks of death.
In vain, to stem the battle tide,
Did Emory shout and Custer ride
Men bled in vain the waves that rolled
Against you could not he controlled.
The sun came up; the fight grew hot,
Disputed was each CORY spot;
But backward STILL before the host
In gray, and Cedar Creek was lost
But, ah along the " broad highway"
That led from Winchester that day,
To Cedar Creek, on coal-black steed,
A trooper rode at lightning speed
His spurs were red his boots were splashed,
lie cared for naught as on he dashed
Beneath his horses hoofs the earth
Was groaning with a battles BIRTH
And as he galloped from afar
Toward him rolled the waves of war.
with loosened rain and head bent low,
AS oNlll us hndIl from lnulin DOW,
or like a meteor on its flight
Across the vast expanse of night,
He flew along the hist'rc road!
better horse man ne'er bestrodc.
He bore your leader to your ranks,
With frothy bits and foamy TANKS.
on by the half-filled cannon ruts!
on on past Newtown's scatt'ring hutsl
And redder still his spur-points grew,
And dustier his coat of blue.
But all at once a shout cheer
Came floating from yon distant rear;
From lip to lip the tdings ran:
He comes he comes! Phil Sheridan!"
The straggers turned, the wounded cheered
Courage and Hope again appeared.
Swinging his cap, he came in sight,
The victor of Opequan's fight.
A glance was all he needed, then
He formed his beaten ranks again.
He rode the lines and saw you stand
Firm as the rocks on Oceans strand;
Rang out the bugles loud and clear,
And forward, with mighty cheer
You swept across Disasters track
And sent the graycoats whirling back
In vain the foemen sought to stem
The leaden storm that shattered them;
AS well might they have tried to crush
A cyclone in its onward rush
Over the ground you'd lost before
Crushing the grass blades wet with gore
With yell and cheer the banners rent,
Led by Victory, on you went
And ere the hill.tops hid the sun,
The field of Cedar Greek was won!

sound rdens on rorestrx.

Frederick the Great had sound ideas on
the forestry question, judging from this
proclamation, said to have been issued In
17O8: 1--WE determined that in all the
lands subject unto us all young married
persons, at the time of their marriage,
should plant at least twelve trees at some
convenient spot, six being fruit trees and
six being oak trees. AS we find, 10 our
great displeasure, that this order has not
been obediently observed, we now further
ordain and decree that this shall be done
before the marriage, and that until it is
done the parish clergy of our lands shall
not join any person in wedlock; and to the
end that we have q satisfactory assurance
that this, our edict. is carried out, we re-
ouire all pastors to send in a full specifi-
cation of all marriages celebrated in their
parishes. New York Sun.
