WORTH HAVEN.


 Dec. 1.-Mr. Bruce's gang is eliminat- ing the water difficulty which has ex- isted between Dr. Lord and the town, making radical change of the grade around the corner near MT. Reynolds and the old tavern stand, raising the sidewalks as far as Linsley's hall and lowering the streets, making it better for pedestrians as well as for wagons. The draining question of the water from Pierpont park and the hills ad1a- cent has been veXed question for years, and it hoped it Is now settled for all time
 It would be a good idea for the peo- pie of North Haven to take a look at the half mile of road on State street, which has been built under state super vision. It is probably the best half mile of road in the limits of the town.
 Mrs. Cornelia Squires and Miss liar riet Thorpe are delegates appointed by the North Haven W. c. T. U. to attend the twelfth annual convention of the w. c. T, U. of New Haven county in Dwight Place church, New Haven, on Wednesday, December 4.

Morris, recitation; Miss Dean, piano; MT. Houston, recitation; MT. Phelps, recitation; Mir. McDonald, recitation.
 Mrs. Houston's contribution was an original poem composed by her for the occasion. It was very warmly greeted and the lady received an elegant trib- ute of flowers. It was as follows: Excelsior chapter, Eastern Star, Sheds it's radiance near and far, And she greets you here tonight With a welcome warm and bright. This chapter proudly takes its stand iMongst the head chapters of our land; Named for one of ancient fame, Ambitious the highest point to gain. Excelsior their name,
 Onward upward their cryj Excelsior their aim,
 To scale the heights or die. Eastern Star! Oh! wondrous name,
 What sacred scenes it's name recalls; By it's light the wise men came
 To that manager in the stalls. Like that wondrous star of old, That led the wise men to the fold, It leads us now with brightest rays Through all life's gloomy ways. 'Mongst all the sparkling diamonds
 bright,
 That gem, the sable brow of night, There is no other star so rare, None that with this star compare. It shines for us, it shines for all, Der palace fine and cottage wall; Its glorious light shall ne'er grow dim Till time shall cease, eternity begin Let all those brilliant stars unite In one grand constellation bright That shall illuminate the whole broad earth;
 Thrice blessed the hour of their birth. MRS. WILLIAM HOUSTON.

As Compared With Last " te Majority of
 Stocks Are Higher.

As Compared With Last Y. co Majority of
 Stocks Are Higher.
 New York, Nov. 3O.-The only note worthy dealings to-day were in Sugar Refining, American Tobacco, and Chi cago Gas. These stocks enjoyed net advances averaging more than per cent. The remainder of the list was neglected. The weekly statement of averages of the Associated Banks shows a further important contraction in the loans. The decrease in legal tender, however, is not as large as might have been expected, in view of the large withdrawals of those notes at the end of last week, and the moderate with drawals this week, to secure gold for export.
 As compared with the final prices of last Saturday, the majority of stocks are higher. The more important net advances are in Denver and Rio Grande preferred, 2ss per cent; American Sugar Refining, 2ss Tennessee Coal and Iron, 1A; Cleveland, Lorian and Wheeling preferred, St. Paul and Kansas and Texas preferred, each; Louisville and Nashville, B; Northwest, General Elec- tric, and Manhattan Elevated, M each; St Louis and Southwestern preferred and Union Pacific, ss each, and Atch- ison, 1s per cent. The noteworthy de- clines are in United States Leather preferred, 25s per cent; American To- bacco and Baltimore and Ohio, 11a per cent. each.

SONGS OF THE SOUTH.

With the advent Of war. poetry and song
began in one shape or another to find their
themes throughout the south-the woman
at her hearthstone and the soldier in the
field, to represent all aspects Of popular
feelng-tbe enthusiasm of victory the de-
spondency Of defeat, the pride that exulted
In the hero and the grief that mourned
his loss.
Three distinctive songs, however quick
ly became sectional and were adopted as
expressive Of the popular feeling" Dix
lie, my Maryland" and THE Bonnie
Blue Flag The history OF each is in
teresting, especially that Of the first, which
appears to have taken place with The
Star Spangled Banner" and Yankee
Doodle Its author Is Dan Emmett,
who still lives at the ripe old age Of 10.
Recently, being asked To relate the cir.
eumstances Of its composition, he said:
I'm the spring OF 1859 | was In tho EN-.
ploy of the Bryant MINISTRIES In New York,
at Arg Broadway, and my particular busi-
ness was to invent walk arounds. One

something to make a noise with and get

could. Sunday being a rainy day, no.

named i Wish Was In Dixie's Land
Nobody ever knew how it came to be called
Dixie. Well, Jerry was SO delighted
with 1t that he made US rebearse all day
Monday for the evenings performance
The song was GO right from the start.
Bands played 1t. Musical people in Gin.

g. Pond published 1t under my own name
and so settled the dispute as to author
ship 1t was first sung In New Orleans In
1860, the original words, from which all
other versions sprang being rs follows:

CHORUS.

Other touching songs of affection that be-
long to this group arc Mother, I've Come
Homo to Die " Brothers Painting at
the Door" and 1.-THE Vacant Chair" The
latter, by Henry $. Washburn, is still a
fayorite throughout the country:
THE VACANT CHAIR
We shall meet but we shall miss him;
There will be one vacant chair;
We shall linger to caress him
While we breathe our evening prayer.
When, year ago, we gathered,
Joy was in his mild blue eye,
But a golden chord Is severed,
And our hopes in ruins lie.
CHoRUs.-We shall meet, etc.
At our f1reside, sad and lonely,
Often will the bosom swell
At remembrance of the story
How our noble soldier fell
How he strove to bear our banner
Through the thickest of the fight
And upheld our country's honor
In the strength Of manhood's might.
True they tell us wreaths of glory
Evermore will deck his brow,
But this soothcs the anguish only
Sweeping DER our heartstrings now.
Sleep today, o early fallen,
In thy green and narrow bed'
Dirges from the pine and cypress
Mingle with the tears we shed.

Dressed up in his unicorn, dear little chapl
They have grated him into tho army.
1t seems but n day since he sot on my lap,
But they have grated him into the army.
And these are the truuSlcs he used to wear

tear
But Uncle Sam gave him brand new pair
When they grated hila into the army.

CHORUS.
WHO WILL CARE FOR MOTHER NOW,

Why am / so weak and weary?
See how faint my heated breath.
All round to me seems darkness.
Tell me, comrades, is this DEATH
All, how well know your answer
To my fate meekly bow,

Who will care for mother now?
CHORUS.
Soon with angels III be marching,
With bright laurels on my brow;

Who will comfort her in sorrowf
Who will dry the falling tear
Gently smooth her wrnkled foreheads
Who will whisper words Of cheer2
Even now think / see her
Kneeling, praying for mellow
Can leave her in anguish
Who will care for mother nowr

And my mantle be the sky

Many minor songs were written In vari.
Gus parts Of the south during the war, but
all were adapted To familiar melodies, the
old time negro airs being most popular,
but they arc only memorable as indicating
the spirit and temper Of those stormy
times
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1895-06-06

Next to "Dixie" In its power Of arous-
ing enthusiasm and as marching song Is
THE Bonnie Blue Flag II IL a singu
lar coincidence that. like Dixie, it was
written and first produced on tho stage,
and both were presented to the southern
people In New Orleans. The composer was
an Irish comedian, tho late Harry Macar-
thy. A single verse will convey an idea
both OF It's spirit and swinging movement:
We are band Of brothers and native to the
soil,
Fighting for our liberty with treasure. blood
and toll,
And when our rights were threatened the cry
rose near and far
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a
single star.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1895-06-06

may yea be heard in many home circle.
1t was composed by Walter kittredge,
who was born in Merrimae, \. H., Oct. s,
1882, and known as public singer and
writer of songs and ballads Having been
drafted in 1862, ho was preparing to go
to the front when the words and music
occurred to him, and in few minutes he
transcribed them TO paper At first the
song was refused by music publishers, but
it Is said that when published its sale
reached hundreds OF thousands of copies:
TENTING on THE OLD CAMP GROUND.
We're tenting tonight on the old camp ground.
Give us song to cheer
Our weary hearts-a song of home
And friends we love SO dear.
CHORUS.
Many are the hearts that arc weary tonight,
Wishing for the war to cease,
Many are the hearts looking for the right,
To see the dawn Of peace.
Tenting tonight, tcntiNs tonight
Tenting on the old camp ground.
We've been tenting tonight on the old camp
ground
Thinking Of days gone by,
OF the loved ones at home that gave US the
hand
And the tear that said "goodby."
We are tired of war on the old camp ground.
Many are dead and gone
OF the brave and true who left their homes:
Others have been wounded Ions.
We've beM fighting today on the old camp
ground
Many are lying near;
Some are dead and some are dying;
Many are in tears.
Among the authors of the time was the
late Charles &. Sawyer of Brooklyn, to
whom we are indebted for tho following,
which quickly found its way across the
lines and became popular in the south. 1t
was written in the autumn of 1861, and
more than / 1000, 600 copies have been sold
WHEN THIS CRUEL WAR Is OVER.
Dearest love, do you remember
When we last did meet,
How you told mo that you loved me,
kneeling at my feet?
Oh, how proud you stood before me.
In your suit of blue,
When you vowed to me and country
Ever to be true.
CHORUS.
Weeping, sad and lonely,
Hopes and fears, how vainl
Yet praying, when this cruel war Is over,
Praying that we meet again
When the summer breeze Is signing
Mournfully along,
Or when autumn leaves are falling,
Sadly breathes the song.
Oft in dreams see thee lying
On the battle plain,
Lonely, wounded, even dying.
Calling. but in vain.

Among the songs commemorative oI
he death Of Colonel Ephraim K. Ellsworth
Tas the following:
DEATH OF ELLSWORTH.
Down where the patriot army.
Near Potomacs side,
Guards the glorious cause OF freedom.
Gallant Ellsworth died.
Brave was the noble chieftain,
Who at his country's call
fastened to the field Of battle
And was the first to fall.
CHORUS.
Strike, freemen, for the Union;
Sheathe your swords no more
While remains in arms a traitor
On Columbias shore.
First to fall, thou youthful martyr.
Hapless was thy fate;
Hasten we as thy avengers
From thy native state.
Speed we on from town TO city,
Not for wealth or fame.
But because we love the Union
And our Ellsworths name.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1895-06-06
CHORUS.

Hurrah, hurrah, for southern rights hurrahi
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears .
