A PRETTY CoScEIT.

There was one incident that Mr..
Geo rge Harvey, brother OF Capt.
Addison Harvey, related to the
Scouts, illustrating the character
of Miss Evie Nasn, daughter OF
Hon, wiley N. Nash, OF Stark
vile, which seemed to touch their
hearts more sensibly than any
thing that occurred during the
reunion. He said that when She
was little tot and could scarcely
lisp her mothers name, she had a
fancy for collecting coDpers, think
ing they possessed the value OF
gold. Her parents humored the
conceit, ard thought to encourage
her thrift and enterprise, SO that
in the course oil a nanlber OF years
she had accumulated quite a large
box full. She Is now beautiful
brunette, just in her teens. A
short time ago she said to her
father she had been looking
arouad, seeking an investment tor
her cuppsrs, and that she had
found the place-that che wanted
to donate them to the monument
fund. She knew her father had
contributed literally to it, but sns
wan.ed to feel that she had q
interest in that
noble structure. The committee,
appreciatlng the beautiful senti-
ment, had the identical coppers
moulded and cast into the Con-
Iederate Shield that occupies such
q prominent place on the monu-
ment, anu had the foundry send
her sworn certificate to that
effect, So this beautiful and
daughter Of her
llustriou father mas immortalized
herself in the estimation OF the
scouts.

20 tread this earth, may we, along
with those who have gone before
meet in that grand reunion in an
upper and better world, Ia those
realms beyond the tomb.
And now MS this mon umenL Is
dedicated to perpetuate the mem-
ory Of our comrades in arms, and OF
him we loved 80 well, | think OF
the lines that closed his obituary in
1865; they are the well known
words Of the bard pronounced at
the grave OF Visoount Dundee, as
his body was consigned to the tomb.
They can we'll be repeated here. as
we leave to rest forever, in the
vault beneath his monument, the
remains of the brave and noble
Harvey -
ssOpen wide the vaults OF Athol,
Where the bones Of heroes rest ;
Open wide the hallowed portals
To receive another guest.
HOnored Scott! O noble freeman,
Type of all that dauntless race,
Who had rather die unsullied
Than outlive the lands disgrace.
O, thou hon hearted warrior,
Reck not Of the after time:
Honor may be deemed dishonor.
Patriotism, called q crime.
Sleep In peace with kindred ashes
Ut the noble and the true,
Hands that re'er failed their country
Hearts that never baseness knew.
Sleep, and till the latest trumpet
Wakes she dead from earth end SEQ,
Scotland shall not boast Drawer
Chieftain than our own Dundee"

Led all but one, for tn. fateful
three
In pity their leader spared.
And their kindly shears clipped
the thread of his lite
Ere Harvey their fate had shared
Forget them2 Mol thro' the mist
of time
again hear their rifles crack,
A nd adown through the lasplng,
cleaning years
Their shrill sharp yell comes
back.
No, never ! though rolling years
should crown
This head with a thatch Of gray,
While Memory reigns can my
heart forget
Those friends OF long4past
day.

SUNG BY MISS GEORGIA GoODLoE.
All! what Is it stirs in my heart low
and yearping,
That well up in tears as I sit here
tonight
And live Ger the scenes when, our
camp-fires burning,
We weathcred the storm or we
welcomed the light?
Can 1T be, q my comrades, gone
down in battle, Il
And we who still live to remember
the day,
That all, all is lost of that desperate
struggle, ' q
Even inemory's love for the hero
in grav9
Or else hath the minstrel, his lonld
harp f0rsaKen,
Despaired Of the pSthos in .chiv-
alry's song,
That once raised the patriots soul
to the heavens,
Ana formed the true being, de.
fant of wrong.
Oh mol they may slumber, the
wreck may benumb them,
Their destiny oyer, life thrills them
no more.
But living triumphant, the truth in
their spirits,
Shall gleam Ger those hosts on,
eternity's shore.
We seek not the aims and applause
OF the nation,
No tlambeaus that glare on the
clouds overhead,
But we claim from the brave and
just of creation
Thelr love for the living, their
tears for the dead.

Forget them2 All. mol / can see
them tonight
In the bivouac under the trees,
Where the smok chambers up and
the rain trickles down,
Like the hum an d trouble Of bees
Again they recline on the dank
pine straw,
While the sough Of the wind
overheard
Sings dirge to the hillocks out
there in the field -
That tell of the boys who're dead.
The horses stand stark in the
gathering gloom
With a patient front to the rain.
And a Whitney tells OF a hopeless
wish
AS thev drea am Of great cribs of
grain.
And their masters too, with a rest
less Sigh,
Peer oft thro' the plashing rain,
And pray that rest from war may
come,
Like pleasure following pain.
The wind grows colder, the pine
tree moans
With deeper voice to the
mig bit,
And the sleet heaps under the
taaered shebang -
Its crust OF crystalline white.
And beats tattoo on the battered
canteen,
And stlffens the blankets of
gray,
But breaks not the sleep o. the
wearied Scout,
AS 1t leaps on his palletin play,
All, no; but the troopers breath
comes slow,
Az his feet in dreams do stray
TO room where a gray-haired
matron sits
At the close of a wintry day,
Ind reads from a crumpled,
yellowish sheet,
Pen-scrawlsd like valenciene

With rossate flush on her face.

READ BY MISS PAULINE PRrEsTLEY
The world has known no purer soul,
Nor hath earth coversd nobler
clay,
Nor do old oceans billows roll
Ger braver form this stormy day
Than Roman Harvey!
The bold, firm man who fearless
rode,
Courting the dangers others
feared,
And seeming heartless as he str ode,
Mid struggling ranks where
chargers rsa red,
And sacrificed his most endeared,
The Spartan Harvey!
But, then, wien death and danger
4 passed,
He wept and saw his loved one die,
His dauntless horsemen saw him,
last,
Mourn near the oak they laid him
by
The Elian Harvey.
And then they marked his lion eyes
CLEAN on the foe with savage
light,
And shout, "Thrice happy he who
dies
A martyr to his land this
night!
The Southron Harvey.
Vain--yain thy deeds to save thy
land
Preceptor Of the eat and good
But flowers are nursed by gentle
hand
Above thy form; and nj, that
band
Who loved thee, teach the manly
mood
