KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health OF the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

The Conquerored Banner.
Gather Ryan.)


Furl that banner, for tis weary.
Round its staff, It's Grooplng dreary;
Furl II. hold 1t. IL II best:
For there's not a man 10 wave IL,
And there's not q sword TO save II,
And there's not one left 10 lave IL
In the blood which heroes gave II;
And its foes now scorn and brave It;
Furl II. hide it-let II rest.
Take that banner down, lis tattered,
Broken is its stan and shattered.
And the valiant hosts are scattered,
over whom IL fiOatcd high;
Oh It's hard for us 10 fold IL,
Hard TO think there's none 10 hold II,
Hard that those who once unVolled IL,
Now must turl 1t with Il sigh.
Furl that banner-furl II sadly.
Once ten thousands hailed II gladly,
And ten thousands wildly. nladIy,
Swore IL would forever wave
Swore that foeman's sword could never
Hearts like theirs entwined discover,
TIN that nag would float forever
Ger their freedom or their grave.
Furl II, for the hands that grasp 1t,
And the hearts that fondly clasp il,
Cold and dead are lying low;
And the banner, II Is trailing,
While around IL sounds the wailing
or its people In their woe;
For though conquered. they adore IL,
Low the cold, dead hands that bore IL.
Weep Tor those that fell before IL,
Pardon those who trailed and tore IL.
And, oh! wildly they deplore II,
Now to furl and fold II so.
Furl that banner, true It's CORY,
Yet ~, wreatbed around with glory.
And twill live in song and story,
Though its folds are in the dust:
For its fame on brightest pages,
Penned by poets and by sages,
Shall go sounding down the ages
Furi It's folds though now we must.
Furl that banner softly. slowly,
Treat II gently-it Is holy
For IL droops above the dead;
Touch II not-unfold II never,
Let IL droop there furled forever,
For It's peoples hopes are dead.

That inspired glories grand,
But the just reviyifying
OF a comrades voice when DIVING
For the cherished OF his land;

Giving answer to the last victorious yell.

Dearest one, do you remember
When we last did meet:
kneeling at my feet?
Oh how proud you stood before me
In your suit OF gray,
when you vowed for me aRd country
Neer to go astray.
Chorus.-- Weeping sad and lonely
Signs and tears. how vain.
When this cruel was is over.
Pray that we meet again.
When the summer breeze is signing
Mournfuly along.
Or when autumn leaves are falling,
Sadly breathes the song.
OFT In dreams I see you lying
On the battle plain.
Lonely, wounded, even dying,
Calling, but in vain.
Chorus.
IL amid the din OF battle
Nobly you should fall
Far away from those who love you--
None to hear your CALL
Who would whisper words OF comfortP
Who would soothe your pain?
All, the many cruel faLcies
Ever In my brain!
Chorus.
But our country called you. loved one
Angels guide your way:
While our southern boys are fighting
We can only pray.
When you strike for God and freedom.
Let all nations see
How you love our southern banner.
Emblem Of the free.

Stonewall Jackson's WAY,

We reproduce a lyric which was extreme
ly popular In many parts OF the South. The
unknown author draws a picture which
addresses itself 20 the eye, and through
the eye to the heart. This poem deserves
TO be preserved among the literary relies
of the times. Every southerner and north
erner of taste will read IL with interest:
Come, stack arms. men. pile on the rails,
Stir up the camp-iires bright,
No matter IL the canteen fails,
Wen make a roaring night
Here Shenandoah brawis along
There lofty Blue Ridge echoes strong,
To swell the brigade's rousing song
or "Stonewall Jackson's way"
We see him now-the old SLOUGH hat
Cooked Ger his eye askew;
The shrewd dry smile-the speech so pat
So calm, so blunt. so true.
The Blue Light Elder knows them well,
Says he, That's Banks-he's fond OF
shell.
Lord save his soul! wen give htm-well.
That's StOnewall Jackson's way.
Silencel ground arms! kneel all, caps on!
Old Blue Lights going 10 pray.
strange the fool who dares TO scott!
Attention! It's his way:
Appealing from his native sod.
IN lorna pauperts. 10 Cod
Lay bare thine arms. stretch forth thy
rod,
AmenI that's stonewnll Jackson's way.
He's In the saddle now! fall in!
Steady! the whole brigade!
HIS at the ford, cut off! Wen win
His way out ball and blade
What matter II our shoes are worn?
What matter IL our feet are torn?
Quick step we're with him e'er the
norm
That's Stonewall Jacksons way!
The suns bright glances rout the mists
OF morning-and by George,
There's Longstreet struggling in the lists
Hemmed in an ugly gorge.
POPE and his columns whipped before
"Bay'nets and grape" hear StonewaIl
roar;
Charge. stuartl-pay of Ashby's
scorer
Is "Stonewall Jackson's way"
All! maiden, wait and watch and yearn
For news OF Stonewalrs band.
An! widow, read with eyes that burn.
That ring upon thy handi
An! wife, sew on, pray on, hope on,
Thy life shall not be all forlorn,
