God Knows Which Was Right.

In Bath county, Va, when the war
broke out there lived two brothers named
Terrill. both of whom became brigade
commanders of them having espous-
ed the cause of the Union, and the other
that o. the Confederacy. The two were
soldiers of brilliant promise, but they
were both killed in battle, sustaining
their widely differing sentiments. Their
father bro lght the bodies Cf his two sons
home, and buried them on the old farm,
erecting between their graves a marble
slab bearing the touching inscription,
God only knows which was right.

Kindling to life the scenes of long ago;

Cemented by the blood these heroes shed,
To muse in revercnc,, with molsteheu
And pay our tribute to the silent dead.
Soldier, the glowing wreath that left your

To lightly fall upon that cherished grave,
Has sanctitied the turf on which you stand
And smoothed the pillow OF the sleeping

Son, mother, wife, whose eyelids still

Your dewy gift has stolen half your woe,
And told the lost that you can not forget.
Aye, as yon g-ave-eyed dame forbears to
weep
While strewing forth her fragrant BIOS
SONS there,
Her hero, in his everlasting sleep,
But rests the calmer for her loyal care.
No soldiers heart may burn with anger
here;
The past lies buried like its noble dead !;
And from these flowers, with radiance

The light OF an abiding peace Is shed.
