That civil strife breaks up and rends and

And 10! the blood drops in my pen we're
changed to tears.
And for the hoarse tongues that those bloody
gouts
Had found. or seemed TO find. upon my ears
Came by gentle song in linked bouts,
OF loaG-drawn sweetness-pIty breathed
through tears.
And thus they sang-"'Twas not by chance,
Still less BY fraud or fear.
That Sumter's battle came and closed.
Nor cost the world tear;
Twas not that northern hearts wero weak,
Or southern courage cold,

man on shore or mold
It was that all their ghosts vino lived
To love the realm they made.

That shot and shell were staid.
Washington. with his sad, still face,
Franklin with silver hair,
Lincoln and Putnam. Allan. Gates,
And gallant Wayne were there.
With those who rose at Boston,
AT Philadelphia met:
Whose grave eyes the Unions seal
To their first charter set.
Adams and JAY and Henry,
Eoutiedge and Randolph. too
And many name their country's fame
Hath sealed. brave, wise and true.
An awful host-above the coast,
About the fort they hung:
SAD faces pale. too proud TO wall.
But with sore anguish wruGe.
And Faith and Truth and Love and Ruth

Between those brothers bore.
And thus it Mapped. by Gods good grace.
And those good spirits band.

Among the June contributions is the follow
ing slap at the frs; message from JEFF Davis:
THE JUST AND HOLY CAUSE OF SLAVERY

IN his message to the secessional congress, that
our cause is just and holy" Could not the
