OUR FALLEN CHIEFTAlN.
BY 9. xENDRrcK, n. D.

Our chief has fallen and the khd,
Where brightest flowers in sweetness
bloom,
Where Southera Winds sigh through the
pines,
Is mourning DER our loved ones tomb
But tears Of bearded men who weep,
Caunot disturb the hero's sleep.
Nor can tho grief OF .matrons gray,
Nor tears Of maidens young and fair,
Nor sighs Of bravest men in war,
Restore the dead man from his bier,
II these could strength and yigor give,
Jeft. Davis would rise and live.
But 1t is better as it is;
The God Of peace has answered SO,
And now the warrior, statesman, chief,
In the cold tomb, is lying low,
Where sound of battle cannot come,
Nor voice Of love or hate or gloom.
What was his life2 Go ask the land,
That he loved best--thut loved him
well,
Or honest history when it tits writ,
And 1t will truly Of him tell.
For envy, SANDER, malice then,
Cannot direct the authors pen.
In Judgment oft he may have erred,
For he was man, and man ID weak,
Bot II greater ever lived,
Our history does not Of him speak.
And In the years to come his name,
VIII shine upon the scroll Of fame.
Farewell, brave chieftain, may you find,
In heaven an everlasting home;
Where sound Of battle is not heard,
Where hate and envy never come.
There free from pain you'll ever rest,
With Christ, and with the pure and
blest.

About Buyinr Cigars.

II, by chance, happen to go into a
strange cigar shop and the man at the
case asks me il want an imported cigar
make up my mind that he doesn't know
his business or that he takes me for o
fool. A man is supposed TO know what
sort of cigar he wants and ought to say
so at the start. An imported cigar, at
the average cigar stand, at the common
price, is a delusion anda snare. II go
into place where am not known and
buy cigar am always particular to
notice the box. If the cigar does not fit
the box know the seller has practiced
some deception. He has put different
cigar In the box than the one called for
by the brand If he is mean enough to
do this he Is mean enough to palm off u
poor cigar. am not cynic in any,

swindled on cigars than anything that

A lion tanner ventured into the cage of

having no fear of them, although he
was often quite badly bitten. But he
had dreadful fear of taking bronchitis.
One day, after he had entered, with
perfect composure, a cage containing
two half-starved bears and panther,
he shook his head grayely as he came
out.
"Well, well, sir, he said to gentle
man who stood near, "this is going to

MUSICAL ACCENT ILLUSTRATED.

Now. sir" said Sir james Scarlet in
his cross examination Of Cooke, "you say
that the two melodies are identical, but
different. What am to understand by
that, sjr?'
.sWhat I said," replied Cooke, twas
that the notes in the two arrangements
are the same but with different accent
the one being in common while the
other is in triple time; consequently the
position of the accented notes is different
In the two copies"
seWhat is a musical accent" Sir James
fiippantly inquired.
my terms for teaching music are a
guinea lesson" said Cooke, much to
the merriment of the court.
81 do not want to know your terms for
teaching" said the counsel, 81 want you
to explain to his lordship and the jury
what is musical accent" Sir James
waxed wroth. Scan you see it?'' he
continued.
NO. was the answer.
ssCan you feel it?'
ssWell," Cooke drawIed out, ga mu-
stefan can" After an appeal to the
Judge the examining counsel again put
the question. "Will you explain to his
lordship and the jury-who are supposed
to know nothing about music-the mean
ing of what you call accent"
Musical accent, rejoined Cooke, sis
emphasis laid Oh certain note just in
the same manner as you would lay stress
on any word when speaking in order to
make yourself better understood. ] will
give you an illustration, Sir James. If
were to say you are donkey the ac-
cent rests .on donkey; but if instead /
said you are donkey, it rests ON you,
Sir James, and have no doubt that the
gentlemen of the jury will corroborate
me in this" The story is more personal
than polite nevertheless, it is well
worth telling as an instance of forcible
illustration. 1t is useful, too, since it may
serve to impress upon the minds of that
very large circle of people who plume
themselves on being musical some faint
notion of what accent In music really is.
It is the outcome Of that wonderful in
vention, the division of music into bars,
but for which music might still be only
the magical accomplishment of few
