"0n 10 Richmond"

con to Richmond, On to Richmond"
Was the Vandais cry OF Old
And it echoed 10 the heartbeat;
As the armies onward rolled.
"On TO Richmond" yelled the soldier;
ION to Richmond waved the Tag.
II was peril to 20 forward;
1t was death and doom TO lag.
Face to face there man and brother
Met and struggled. hot Of breath;
Hit To hit. sword. fire, and cannon
Watchwords-" Freedom! here, or
Death
All the treasures OF the Southland
Persisted i'm the greedy flames.
Stately homes and homes OF statesmen,
Leaving but their treasured names.
Yet. what more hath any nationq
Than Il marble shaft and fame?
What hath Trojan. what hath Roman,
Than a memory and name?
con to Richmond on to Richmond"
SAYS the veteran OF to-day,
As he limpS out 10 the station,
In his moth-worn cloth of gray.
And his old canteen IS rusted;
And his boards frosty fleece!
He has left behind his musket,
For his heart is full OF peace
"On to Richmond" says he, smiling;
Orco again the boys will meet
And tho bands will play our Dixie"
And the troops be in the street.
On TO Richmond, There was founded
Tho Confederation truel
True 10 States rights and TO honori
To the sunny Southland true!
True TO country true 10 brother.
True 10 Davis and TO Lee,
Can the world e'er call them faithlesS,
Since the war made all men free?
ION 10 Richmond" says the veteran;
Thousands there will meet to-day:
Hearts are slow, and feet are feeble
once SO quick beneath the gray;
Heads are lifted, proud OF freedom;
once bent low beneath tho rod.
Names are whispercd-names immortal,
or the heroes meath the SOD.
"On 10 Richmond"-sl pibroch.
Sounding sweet the Scots release.
Never caught the Highland echoes
Like this ringing cry Of peace.
On to Richmond friend and brother,
Broken are all prison bars:
Like our country there's no other:
We are one for Stripes and Stars.

FADS IN MEDICINE.

There are fads in medicine as in
every thing else and a "new thing"
frequently sells for short time
simply because it is new. But in
medi cine, as in nothing else, the
beople demand and will be satisfied
only with positive, absolute merit.
The fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla
has stood its ground against all COM
petition, and its sales have never
wavered but have remained steadily
at the top, demonstrates, beyond any
doubt, the intrinsic virtues Of this
medicine. The new things have
como and gone but Hoods Sarsa-
pariIla rests upon the solid f0unda-
ton Of absolute merit and Its power
to cure, and its sales continue to be
the largest i'll the world.

The Consul Of the United States OF
America at Matamoros, Mexico.
Dear Siri-I desire your assist
lance in my search for a brother
who, 1 am very much afraid is inn
psisoned somewhere in Mexico. He
left home'a year ago this month to
try and find employment, and mp to

ceived reached us as above stated,
on the 10th of December, and we're
mailed in Eagle Pass. He stated in
them, that it was his intention, If he
failed to find anything to do in that
city, to go over into Mexico . l heard
great deal about the hatred the
Mexicans have for Americans and
the manner in which Americans,
especially Texans, are treated when
caught over there, and the fact that
it is now nearly 10 months since we
heard from him, only strengthen D
my convictions, that something has
gone wrong with him, and that he
is being prevented from writing TO
Us. Now would like you to make
thorough search Of all their pris-
ons in your district. II you fail to
fin him as an inmate, examine their
records and see If they have had him
there and il SO, where they have
sent him to, should you hear OF his
having passed through your city oil
any part Of your district kind
ly let ma know it at once, the time
he was there, how longed he stayed
there, the direction in which hi
went on leaving, and any other in
formation you may get possession of

Take a walk through cemetery says
a contemporary, and you will pass the
last resting place Of the man who blew
into the muzze of gun to see if it was
loaded. A little farther down the slope
Is buried tho crank who tried to show
how close he could pass in front ofa NOV
ing train. In strolling about you pass
the modest monument Of the hired girl
who started the fire with kerosene, and
the grass covered knoll that covers
what is left of the boy who put cob
under a mules tail. The tall shaft Of
the man who blew out the gass casts a
shadow across the bosom of the boy
who tried to jump moving train. Side
by side the ethereal creature who had
always had her corset laced 10 the last
hole and the intelligent idiot who rode
q bicycle nine miles in ten minutes,
sleep on undistnrbed. Here reposos
the remains of tho young doctor who
took dose of his own medicine, and
just over there with the top Of a shoe
box driven down at his head lies o rich
man who married young wife. Away
ever there by tho side gate reposes the
remains of the boy who went fishing on
Sunday. and the woman who kept
s,rychnne side by side with baking
powder in the cupboard. The man who
stood in front of moving machine to
oil the sickle is quiet now, and he rests
by the side of the careless brakeman
who fed himself to seventy ton en-
CINE, and SO il goes. The fool killer is
gathering them one by one, still he is
