THE UNKNOWN DRUMMER
LAD.
BY TUCKER POLK.


LAD.
BY TUCKER POLK.
Over the cres, Of Malvern Hill
The midnight stars were glowing
A youthful form lay hushed and still,
His lifs's blood fastly flowing.
As drummer lad he donned the gray,
When he heard the muskets' rattle;
And madly rushed into the fray,
Into the ferce~fought battle.
He !ell where the bravest fell that
night,
At the breach in the barricade;
Who're gallant Magrudcr charged on
the right,
/ Through the hell Of the cannonsde.
The battle ceaaed, the hero lay
. Forgotten and alone, .
GaspiDg his gallant life away
Above, the bright s;ars shone.
A stranger, searching for some trace,
OF comrade. friend or BROTHER
STOPPED down TO gaze upon his face,
And heard him whisper, "motherp.
With that sweet word. which was his
last, |n
His life's thread snapped asunder-
A distant cannon's random blast
Relied through the sky in thunder.
unknown aud lone" the stranger
said, n
"By friends and foes left lone.
With none To weep their youthful
dead.
And none TO claim their own !"
lie raised the rigid form so cold.
Aud felt in the soldiers pocket,
And found a letter, worn and old,
And 4 little golden locket.
He took the letter in his hand,
Whilst his manly tears fell free;
Twas headed "Carolina's Land"
And said: Ned come home TO me!
Come back, my boy, from the land oi
strife
Come back 10 your fathers hall
Come, leave oh, leave your soldier
life!
Heed, darling, your mothers call
To my country l have given
Three sons, so manly and brave;
And my heart Is drear aud riyen,
For thsy sleep 10 an unknown
grave.
Like YOU, they heard the tramp OI
steeds,
The fierce, mad rush Of the battle
Like You, they planned Immortal
deeds,
And smiled az the muskets rattle
Where now are they, my boys so brave
Who fought for freedoms glory?
| cannot tell ! unknown their grave
Unheard their bloody story.
And you, tie last the last, my boy
o, Ned, you must not stay!
Come back, my life, my pride, my
joyl
Cons back, csme back ] pray"
The strangers grief was true, sincere
As he read this letter Ger,
And dropped upon il many a tear
Where the mothers dropped be-
fore.
And there, by the light Of the silver
night,
Which the silent starlight gave,
The stranger laid him out Of sight
In an unknown, nameless grave.
NJ requiem o'er him there was sung
No flowers bsdscked bis grave;
A strangers tears, BY pity wrgng,
Was The burial Of the brave.
Then weep, ye Carolina mothers!
Weep, maids Of the ''old NOrtt
Statel'
For 70 had sons. and 70 had brothers
This might hare been their fate.
They, dying, might have left no lrae.
On tho bloody hattle.plaln;
lNo stone TO mark their resting place
No death,dirge sor your slain.

POPULAR PROVERBS.
Savings That Associate the Center Sc
With Old Neptune.

Sayings That Associate the Gentler Sex
With Old Neptune.
Popular proverbs connect woman with
the sea, usually to her disadvantage. Old
Greek and Latin proverbs were, Fire,
Sea and Woman-three evils" and
Italian and Russian sayings repeat the
same.
In Sicily they say God keep us from
the sea, from fire and from women"
Women, fire, Mars. wind and sea,
Make five ills of great degree;
reads an old French proverb.
A Danish SANDER upon the sex is,
"When a woman has no answer ready
the sea will want water"
Two French women were walking by
the sea, and one, astonished by the high
and furious waves, asked the other: is
the sea married." No" s'Ah, if it
were only welded! promise you it's
freshness would soon be tanned" Span
iar1s say, Tuesday, don't marry, go to
sea or leave your wife, while Italians
have similar proverb: Friday, don't
marry, don't travel"
''Give a woman luck and cast her into
the sea-" is an old English saying, and
some such sentiment must have
prompted the German who threw his
wife overheard to tighten the ship in
storm, saying: "All freight lightens-"
An old epigram refers to this or sim
liar anecdote:
What TYNE troublous tempest rose and tost
the trembling seas;
Each one threw in his heaviest stun the
loaded boat to ease;
But Molzus Zone among the rest) cast in his
wife, and saide:
"Naught heavie than skolding wife deme

Women are not famous as navigators.

able weight of sleep pressed me down. l
was dying, l was dying, and then was
dead-nothingnessl
A change-life came back to me, but be-
tween the new life and the life that had
been was gulf and difference. Once more
stood in the darkness Of the shrine, but it
blinded me no more. 1t was clear as the
light of day, although it was still black
stood; and yet it was not ! who stood, but
rather my spiritual part, for at my feet lay
my dead self. There it lay, rigid and still, a
stamp of awful calm sealed upon its face
while / gazed on it.
And as l gazed, filled with wonder, was
caught up on the Wings of Flame and
whirled away, awayI faster than the light
ming fash. Down fell, through depths Of
empty space, set here and there with gilt
tering crowns Of stars. Down for ten
million miles and ten times ten million, till
at length lowered over place Of soft, un-
changing light, wherein were Temples, Pal
aces and Abodes, such as no man ever saw
in the widest visions of his sleep. They
were built of Flame, and they were built Of
Blackness. Their spires pierced up and up;
their great courts stretched around. Even
as / lowered they changed continually to
the eye; what was fame became blackness,
what was blackness became flame. Here
was the fash of crystal. and there the
blaze of gems shone even through the glory
that rolls around the city which is in the
Place of Death. There were trees, and
their voice as they rustled was the voice of
music; there was air, and as it blew its
breath was the so5bing notes of song.
Shapes, changing, mysterious, wonderful,
rushed up to meet me and bore me down
till seemed TO stand upon another earth.
"Who comes7" cried great voice.
''Harmachis," answered the Shapes that
changed continually. "Harmachis, who
hath been summoned from the earth to
look upon the face of Her, that Was, and
Is, and Shall Be. Harmachis, Child OF
Earthr'
Throw back the Gates and open wide the
Doorsl" pealed the awful voice. Throw
back the Gates and open wide the Doors.
Seal up his lips in silence, lest his voice jar
upon the harmonies of heaven; take away
his sight, lest he see that which may not be
seen, and let Harmachis who hath been
summoned, pass down the path that leads
to the place of the Exchanging. Pass on,
Child of Earth; but, before thou goest, look
up that thou mayest learn how far thou art
removed from earth"
/ looked up. Beyond the glory that
shone about the city was black night, and
high on its bosom twinkled one tiny star
.Behold the world that thou hast left"
said the voice. "behold and tremble"
Then my lips and eyes were touched and
sealed with silence and with darkness, so
that was dumb and blind. And the gates
rolled back the doors swung wide and
was swept into the city that is in the place
of Death. Swiftly was swept know not
whittier, till at length stood upon my feet.
Again the same voice pealed:
