Roses of Memory.

The following graceful poem was com
posed by a. G. Gordon, Commonwealth
Attorney for Staunton, and read by hin
at the Confedera tie Memorial in Norfoll
on Thursday last:
roses crimson stain,
roses stainless white,
Fifty become the immortal slain
Who fell in the great fight.
When Arminstead died amid his foes,
Grit by the rebel cheer,
God pluckeu soul like white rose
In June time o. the year.
The blood in Picketts heart
Was of q ruddier hue
Than the reddest bloom whose petals part
To welcome heavens dew
| think the fairest flowers that blow
Should greet the life-stream shed
In that historic long ago
By this historic dead.
The mmemorial years
Such valOr never knew
AS poured a flood of crimson blood
At Gettysburg with you.
Living and dead, in faith the same,
see you on that height,
Crowned with the rosy wreath of fame
WOninsth fatal fight. W.
Not these had made afraid
King Arthur'S mystic SwOrd,-
Not Bayard's most chivalric blade,
Nor Gideon's, for the Lord.
ours was the SCrdln OF n1Sn Gn1DflSe
Yours the unfaltering faith
The honor lofty as the skies,
The duty strong as death.
When Douglass flung the heart
OF Bruce amid his foes,
And said: He leads. We do not part;
follow where he goes;
No mightier impulse stirred his soul
Than That which up yon height
Moved you with Pickett toward the goal
or freedom, i'll that fight.
The fair goal was not won,
The famous fight was lost; a. "a i
But never shown the all seeing sun
On more heroic host
Your deeds of mighty prowess shame
All deeds OF derring-do
With which Times bloody pages fame.
Hail and farewell to you!
Unto the dead farewell!
They are hid in the dark and cold,
And the broken shaft and the roses tell -
What is left of the tale untold.
They are deaf to the martial music's call
Till a judgment dawn shall break,
When the trumpet of Truth shall proclaim to
''They persisted for my sake!'
Let them be quiet here
Where birds and blossoms be-
And hail to you, who bring the tear
And the rose Of memory
TO water and deck each lOwly grave
OF those, who in Gods sight
With loyal hearts their hearts blood gave
For the eternal right
Alike for low and high H.
The roses white and red;
For valOr and honor cannot die,
And they were of these dead.
The private in his jacket Of gray
And the general with his star
The Lord God knighted alike that day.

shoulders, until my arms were just one sore. 1t
covered my entire body, my face, head, and
shoulders being the worst The white scabs,f fell
constantly from my head, shoulders, and arms:
thelskin would thicken aud be very fed and very
itchy, land would crack and bleed If scratched.
After spending many hundreds Of dollars. l was
