THE SONG OF A TRAMP.


THE SONG OF a TRAMP.
The Inidnight stars are blazing
From out the wellin wide,
And DER the restless river
They dance on its shimmering tide.
While homeless and frien6less
wander wild and free.
care for no one, good or bad,
And no one cares for me,
The north wind, fierce and hard with frost
Comes -vhistling Ger the moor.
'Tis bitter as the faces
1 meet ; t every door.
The brpwn leaves ON tho oak trees
Are Singing in the blast.
They seem to think of summer tfme
And dream OF pleasures past
But never thought of pleasure
Or happy dream have 1.
The spring hath no more hope for me
Than winters midnight slzy.
For then in wood or field sleep,
Or damp and loathsoine cave,
And now to warmer barn I stink,
A coward and lcnGye.
And homeless and friendless
wander wild and free.
care for no one, good or bad,
And no one cares for me.

sometimes each division, had herd OF
poor, lean, lank cattle with them that
was driven along with the command,
and number OF them slaughtered
each night for use next day. Our
division had at that time one hundred
or one hundred and fifty head Of these
cattle corralled TO the left Of the divi-
sion, and as before stated, our brigade
was lying around promiscuously, some
doubly and some In squads, and nearly
all sleeping soundly.
Along about ten or eleven o'clock
some "noosier" or "Suoker" away up
at the left Of the division, where the
stock was corralled, began to yell

"Hooal Ilooal" and in two minutes the
whole div ION was up dancing around
in the dark like mad, and frantically
waving their arms and shouting
"Hooa Hooa" Everybody supposed
the cattle had stampeded and were
running through the division from left
to right, and, as everybody was half
asleep when they got on their feet,
from the hub-bub, supposed the cattle
to be right on them. 1t was very dark

was making futile efforts to climb TO

twenty-five or thirty feet over his head.

ness TO the occurrence. One morning
after President Lincoln's assassins ton

group Of gentlemen, all Of whom he
knew. lie stoppedhis horse, and found
these gentlemen excitedly discuss
ing something that they heard Andrew
johnson was just about to do at tho
white house. A spokesman told Gen.
Grant that Andrew johnson had de-
termined TO revoke the parole Of
certain confederate officers Grant
listened quietly, slowly smoking his
cigar. When his informant finished
Grant remounted his horse, rode rapid
ly toward the white house and went
straight In TO interview Andrew John
son. He Asked
"Mr. President, understand you
are determined to revoke tho parole Of
certain Of the confederate leaders who
surrendered to me at Appomattox."
II am considering the matter" re-
piled the president.
by whose authority" asked Gen.
Grant, do you revoke parole signed
by me2'
by the authority Of the United
States replied Andrew johnson, with
some asperlty.
Grant quietly replied by the au-
thority Of the commander in chief OF
the armies Of the United States that
parole shall not DO revoked" and
turned on his heel and quietly left the
white house.

army Of the United States was at his

A Joke Is told Of one Of our neighbors,
which deserves Immortality. Brig
Gen. Spinola early in the war was sta
toned in North Carolina, with q brig
ade under him, and as he was one Of
those mushroom commanders whom
the stress Of civil war had called up
from civil life he naturally enough In
trusted the routine duty and drill
Ing of the brigade TO major detailed
for the purpose. One day Spinola's
superior In command made an inspec-
ton, after which he bluntly told the
brigadier that the men were not SUI
Aciently up In tactics and manual.
Spinola summoned the major and
questioned him, limited that he was not
doing his duty, and finally, as q test
question, asked him If, In tho event OF
o fight, the brigade should capture a
number Of prisoners, what he would do
with them9
The major replied to the effect that
he would get them to the rear, and, II
possible, to Washington.
