THOSE "CoPPERHEADs."
BY CAPT. JOHN II. MILLER.

BY CAPT. JOHN Il. MILLER.
Come. soldier boys Who wore the "blue,"
Together let US sing,
And though our thrpats may husky be,
Well make the welkins ring.
And live once more those sad days Ger
That seem so far away
When boys in blue. with courage true,
Gave battle to the gray"
CHORUS
The rebel soldiers in our front
We met them without fear,
But those "Copperheads " were troublesome
Who fought us in the rear.
We've scaled the rugged mountain nights,
We've marched through muck and mire,
And bivouacked in the driving sleet
Without a spark of fire;
Beneath our overcoats we've slept
Upon the naked ground,
And snatched our breakfast as we could
With bullets whistling round.
CHORUS.
Through festooned swamps of Arkansaw
We've waded to the knees,
And skirmished with guerrilla bands
Among the cypress trees;
They ambushed us from dark ravines
And cane brakes sheltering screen.
And though we gave them shot and shell
The foe was seldom seen.
CHORUS.
We've struggled with those Johnny Rebs"
On many a bloody field
And though at times they worsted US,
At last they had TO yield;
We've felt the shock Of bursting shells,
We've heard the minie's ping"
We've crossed our bayonets with the foe
And know their saber's ring.
CHORUS.
Andersonvile and Libby's pens
Those hels of human make.
Were not surpassed by savages
Who torture at the stake;
And ali the cruelties of war
With these could not compare.
But we will kindly pass them Ger
Their chivary to spare.
We saved the Nation as o whole,
We made the bondsman free,
And loosed his shackles as we marched
With Sherman to the sea;
And now the Stars and Stripes are hailed
With gadness through the land,
And that the South has gained thereby
Is seen on every hand.
CHORUS.
Now to the gray" we'll freely say
No malice do we feel
But well we know you were a foe
One worthy of our steel;
And should some nation give insult
To our beloved land,
And Uncle Sam the long roll beat,
United we would stand
CHORUS.
The rebel soldier in our front
We met them without fear,
But the devil take those "Copperheads
Who fought US in the rear.

FITZ JAMES O,BRIEN.

lFitz james O'Brien. the great literary Bohem-
ian was born in Limerick County, Ireland. in 1928.
He came TO America ih 1852. and Immediately en-
tered upon that active literary life which bore fruit
in many imaginative tales and beautiful poems.
When the civil war broke out he Joined the 7th N.
Y. When the 7th returned home lie received an
appointment on Gen. Lander's staff. In a sl<irnlsh
with Ashbys cavalry he was shot. This happened
Feb 26. 1852. He died from the wound on the 9Th
OF April at Cumberland, Va.
From far off Erins isle there came man,
Endowed with ali the attributes OF love,
Unsullied honor, sincerity aud truth;
Possessed of all the qualities that make
Her rugged children known TO all the world;
From that fair land of Sheridan and Moore.
Who woke the living Tyre OF immortal song,
From that great isle OF Burke whose magic tones
Are echoing with their sweetest music still.
He came, with heart of gold and iron will,
With all The music Of her ancient bards.
And with all the fire of her ancient Kings;
He came to breathe In verse his sweetest thoughts
Aud to tell in prose his captivating tales
He camd TO mingle with our choicest men,
To sadly. bravey die beloved Of all;
He came 10 shoulder arms in Virtues cause,
To lay down life in payment of that debt
Which Honor owes to the Oppressed sons
Olevery race. glorious death and brayei
When Americas children shall forget
The man who charmed them, and who fought and
died
To wipe from off its glory that dark stain
That rested on the country of his choice
Why, let the starry flag he SO revered
Be lain away TO moder in decay,
And no more faunt its beauty to the sky.
Let us cover in the darksome night of shame
And hide our loathsome faces from the sun.

first time in several months. He welcomed me
very cordially; and as ] sank into rocking
chair before the fireplace i was struck by the
beauty and size of the bearskin that was
stretched before the fender.
"Hello!" cried /. "Isn't this something
new?"
Kilbuck laughed. "Haven't you heard that
story?" said he.
"What!" / exclaimed. as there story
connected with it? Let's have it!"
Taking the poker, Kilbuck settled the coal
in the CRATE, laughing softly the while.
"If you were the friend you pretend to be. I"
he said, and called as often as you ought TO-,
you'd know that last Spring l was com pletely
run down. / just packed up my duds and
went to little farmhouse in a mountainous
and wooded district Of Canada. There isn't
another house within 10 miles. The nearest
village is dozen miles away, and consists of q
church and three houses.
"Near the farmhouse is brook which in
Spring has water enough in it to turn mill
wheel. and at that season my landlord, Farley,
saws lumber in little sawmill he has there.
"The pure air, the quiet, the wholesome food,
together with entire mental and bodily rest,
soon put me on my feet. / became strong
enough to take short walks, studying the
flowers and the birds and to go fishing occa-
sonally for trout in the brook above the mill.

and that is, that through all the vicissitudes
of the giant struggle, and in spite of all our
mistakes, we were found worthy to be even
the humble instruments, under Divine Provi-
dence, to aid in the regeneration of our be-
loved country, and have been permitted to
live to see it more strongly united, more
free, and more glorious than the mind of
man could then conceive.

A Suggestion to the National Enca mpmel

A Suggestion to the National Enc mpm ent.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In view of the
fact that il seems TO be the policy Of the present
Democratic Administration to deprive soldiers
of their pensions, regardless of present or past
laws aud rulings which will cause su fferng and
want, and in many cases send them to the poor
house or to be dependents upon poor relatives.
With all these facts before the coming Encamp-
ment, suggest that State and National relief
orders be founded to maintain all soldiers
pensions as they now exist, by public donations,
until such time as they can be reinstated by
sympathizing Administration. There are thon-
sands of patriotic citizens in the North who
will willingly give of their abundance to sup
port such organizations in every Northern
State.
/ am neither soldier nor son of soldier,
but in love and sympathy for those who saved
the Union OF States and gave us the oppor-
tunity to enjoy the country as it is united
and happy people. The old soldier deserves
the love, respect and admiration of all young
American citizens, and to see any of them
want for the necessaries of life by deprivng
them of the small pttance q wise aud patriotic
Government has given them will strike SYM
pathetic chord that only needs organization to
meet all cases which misconception of justice
may think unworthy.-H. w. HENRY, La
