EFFORTS tear of Burning love,
Though her blessed soul now dwells
above.
Here dwelt in pure religious light!
Where heavenly breezes fragrant blow;
Where trees of life e'er vernal grow;
Where one eternal day sublime,
Resplendent beauty yields divine.
How sweet! to be forever blest!
How sweet. the weary soul at rest!
When toll and care Of life are DER;
Nor fear becloud the blissful shore;
No anxious thoughts the mind assail;
Nor dying friends fond hearts beWall!
Thou parent of these moments dear,
Pray let thy spirit hover near;
Thy loving presence let us feel.
Thy Joy, thy peace to us reveal.
When thou to realms of liquid light,
On Joyous pinions take thy flight,
Anon, return; near us abide.
Our wand'ring steps from error guide.
More constant none, nor patient
more,
Has ever lived on this mid shore.
When fearful need for food implored,
Thou gav'st relief; nor e'er ignored
The pleading cry of suffering want;
Nor o 'er misfortunes shame dldSt vaunt
Within thy home attention smiled
On all thy friends, congenial, mild
Its cheerful ray did warmth impart,
Illumed the soul, made light the heart.
When we were sick, thou vast friend,
Kind acts with sympathy did blend.
When we were sad, with gloom OPP
pressed,
Thou solace sweet to us expressed
With mothers words that cheered the
heart
That soothed each pang; bade grief
depart.
Of those who to thy dwelling came
All love and high exal thy name.
| Exalt with tears bedim their eyes
In prise, in love each friendship vies..
Thanksgiving feasts no more thou II
spread
| Nor 'round the festal board wilt treaO
With merriment and service kind,
While JOY profound our hearts en-
shrined
| Thou to the church no more wilt go
| Nor aid unto it's cause bestoW.
The pew, thy presence did supply,
| Thou gav'st for one beyond the sky,
| Where psalms of praise the saints viii
sing,
| And make the vast of heaven ring
| 0, may we, i'm the blissful state,
| Meet the again at heavens gate.
| Where death no more shall loved one:
| sever,
But "where in all the bright forever,
| Eternal years of peace shall roil!
| Eternal bliss shall fill the soul.

A FIERCE REBEL YELL.

Another rebel yell comes up from the
free Outspoken Durham Globe, of North
Carolina. It is an article that should be
copied into every Harrison newspaper in
the country. 1t should be read in every
Grand Army post in the land, and posted
up at every crossroads and in every black
smith shop, as an indication of what may
be expected from the South if she gets
in the saddle again. Here is the article:
The North wants sympathy. 1t calls
Cleveland brutal because he slapped the
crowd of hungry camp followers and bum
mers in the face when he vetoed a few
hundred pension bills, and the South pro-
poses to reward him for it. The Northern
papers yell because Stevenson belonged to
the Knights of the Golden Circle, and vet
that was a right that Stevenson had. The
other side had its secret organizations
but that amounts to nothing. The demo-
cratic party, and not it alone, but the en-
tire South, catches hail Hail Columbia eV-
cry time Southern newspaper dares to
tell the truth about the hungry band Of
authorized thieves who made their raid
with Sherman from Atlanta to the sea-
They howl about the need of a Force bill
to protect the negro and the ballot box. 1t
Is all right to demand Force bill to pro-
tect the negroes, may be, but they should
remember what the Northern armies did
when they invaded this country-this fair
peaceful and prosperous land in the dark
days of 81. That wretched crowd of
thieves, bummers, plunderers and libertines
left monuments more enduring than those
which Sherman left, in the way of ruined
homes and burned cities. Every yellow
face seen in the South for twenty years af-
ter was living witness that those soldiers
who claimed to be lighting to free the
negroes, had raVished her as they passed
along; stealing what they could lay their
hands upon; burning what they could ig-
mite; and, to add to the terrible infamy,
shooting men down like dogs because they
were trying to defend their wives and
children
And then these northern papers take
such pillage and murder and paint words
so seductive that it gets up a sentiment
at the North and make it possible to pen
sion every scroundrel who took part in the
red.handed tragedy.
Grover Cleveland wrote his record clear
He despised to fawn or fatter; and when
the beggars who never saw real service and
those who did, came along with their hand
organs and their monkeys, begging money
from the public treasury, he, as the guard
ian of that money, slapped the sneaks in
the face with his strong right hand and
kicked them over the dashboard with his
strong right foot. He served 'em right
and when papers at the North are asked to
defend the pension fraud they simply howl
about the "old Vet" the great and good"
who saved the Union. The pension bust
ness is fraud, and those who defend it
know that they are not doing honest work.
