aud country have been rolling into town in We
hicles of every make aud description. until the

New York, Harrisburg and Baltimore and
other cities are still pouring in. The con-
gressional train, bearing the members of the
Senate and House, and rendered to them by
the Western Maryland railroad, steamed into
the station at 1245, stopped a moment and
then pulled rapidly out to the railroad cut on
the first days field. Here the statesmen left
the cars and Edward Mcpherson welcomed
them in behalf of the Gettysburg Battlefield

the party and explained in terse but graphic
language the battle of the first day, the death of

tailed the engagement along the federal

Again rcsuming the cars the return was made
to Hancock Station, where, after describing
the charge of Pickett and the wounding of the
second corps commander on the third day,
the party took carriages and drove through
the Soldiers National Cemetery and over
Culp's Hill to the Baltimore pike and thence
to the town.

mics and the prayer was made by Rev. W. II.
Keith. There music by the choir;

SHOOTING STARS.

At ARLISGToN-IS MEMoRIAM.
Her hair was gray, her form was bent,
Her steps were slow. her strength was spen
Upon her face, the heel of care
Had trod and left its imprint there;
And yet around about her, fell
That sweet, mysterious, tender spell,
We only feel, We cannot toll
A mother, she, in Israel
Above u grave, with roses strewn,
She bowed in sorrow, quite alone,
Until a man, whose tenderness
Could not but easily impress,
That he had known sometime, some where,
A mothers love, a mothers care,
Came to her and: Dear heart" he said.
"How proud you should be that the dead,
For whom you weep, to you was true,
And to his country. In the blue
He lived and loved, and fought and died,
His mothers hope, his country's pride;
Today we honor such rs he,
With all the pomp and panoply
OF public grief, OF glorious pride
In that great cause for which he died"
The mother turned Her eyes were wet
With tears which never could forget;
You speak" she answered, "what is true;
I loved that noble boy in blue;
Bat far away, another son
Lies sleeping where the waters run
Into the gull Though far away,
Can forget the boy in gray?
They were my boys; nor gray, nor blue,
To me made either one less true;
Their mother felt no party call,
They were her children, that was all"
Tho strong man took the mothers hand:
'Thank God for you" he said, this land
United now, shall stand Away,
The mother land of blue and gray"
