I was a Confederate soldier, and on the
retreat to Appomattox our command for
some purpose had halted al Amelia Court
house. A battery Of artillery was en-
deayoring to go on. but a wagon-train
had blocked the road. There was much
confusion, noise. etc., usual on such oc-
casions. and / was interested TO see how
the matter would end. Just then Gen.

A LEAF FROM THE PAST.
A Quaint Commemoration of the Burning


of the Theatre.
Mr.. George Il. Cox, Of Farmville. has
sent the Dispatch the following, which IS
printed on a slip yellow with age:
A Hymn,
Adapted TO the Well-Known Tune of
SOPHRONIA.
Designed to keep in memory the awful
calamity which filed every heart with
grief, covered every countenance with
gloom. and started tears from every eye
throughout the city Of Richmond on the
never-to-be-forgotten night OF Decem-
Der rs, 1871.
Then amusement led up her sportlve
train-jollity assembled the sons Of mirth-
all was life-all was glee-when In
moment-stand in trembling wonder, Q
my soul!-the theatre OF pleasure fs
wrapt In ilames-is converted into a house
of weeping. walling. desperation, and
death, ruinous heap. a funeral pile. with
this Inscription: BE ye also ready, for
in such an hour. as ye think not. behold!
the Son OF Man cometh."
Wearied by day with business toll and
cares.
How welcome Is the peaceful night:
Sweet sleep cur spirits and our strength
repairs,
And fits us for returning light.
Yet when our heavy eyes In sleep are
clos'd
Our rest may break ERE well begun;
To dangers every hour we stand expos'd,
That we cannot foresee nor shun.
'Tis Of the Lord that we can ever sleep,
A single night without alarms:
His eyes alone our lives In safety keep,
Secure amidst thousand harms.
For months and years Of peace and
safety past.
Ungrateful we alas! have been;
The voice of God our city rous'd ut last,
And bade the fire rebuke our sin.
The shout of "fre!" dismal. doleful cry,
Impressed each heart with deep dismay;
The furious blaze ascends the reclining
sky.
The bells. with jingling sounds and awful
tolls.
Deciar'd the horrors OF that night:
Alas! Alas! how many precious souls
Departed ERE the morning light!
The house of Joy becomes the house Of
All in a moment wrapt in fire;
"The sons OF mirth In thee resign'd their
breath.
The throng. the terror who can ever
The various sounds that filrd the air:
The children's cry, the tender parent
The . Voice of blasphemy and prayer.
But prayer prevaird and many souls were
And piuck'd as fre-brands from the
In time Of need the saviours arm was
And prov'd His grace was still the same
O, may that night be nevermore FORGOT
Lord, still increase Thy praying Few:
Were Richmond left without a righteous
Ruin like sodom's would ensue.
Believe. my friends, there is righteous
God.
Though infidels In vice may boast aiouo'
Impiety must end In pain.
while we lament our dear. departed
LET us adore His love and pow'r;
xvho ~ the wretched His salvation Genos
And saves at the eleventh hour.
