Wounded by bayonets, shells, and balls
Somebody's darling was borne one day.
Somebody's darling. so young and -
brave.
Wearing still on his pale sweet face
Soon to be bid by the dust of the grave
The lingering light of his boyhoOd's
grace.
Matted and damp are the curls Of gold,
Kissing the snow Of that fair young
brow;
Pale ere the lips of delicate mold
Somebody's darling is dying now.
Back from the beautiful blue-yeined face
Brush every wandering, silken thread;
Cross his hands as a sign of grace
Somebody's darling is still and dead!
Kiss him once more for somebody sake'
Murmur a prayer. soft and low;
One bright curl from the cluster take-
They were somebody's pride, you know.
Somebody's hand hath rested there;
Was it a mothers soft and white,
And have the lips Of sister fair
Been baptised in those waves Of light
God knows best. He was somebody's

Somebody's heart ershrined him near;
Somebody waited his name above,
Night and morn, on the wings of prayer
Somebody wcpt when he marched away,
Looking so handsome. brave and grand:
Som, body's kiss on his forehead lay:
Somebody clunG to his parting hand
Somebody's watching and waiting for
him.
Yearring to hold him again to her heart:
There he lies-with the blue eyes dim,
And smiling. child-like lips apart.

Pau4ug to drop on his grave tear,
Carve Oh the wooden slab at his head,
Somebody's darling lies buried here"

Claims That Distinction.
Rev. DR.. Richard S. Rust Il one OF

his youth-and he has now reached old
age-he has been active for the welfare
Of the cOlOred people Of the land. Be
fore the civil war he worked for their
to Increase their culture. All his nfe
long he has been connected with edu-
cational institutions for their especial
benefit. He has made for himself an
imperishable record as an agent OF CIV
ilization, and his name will never be
forgotten by the freedmen Of the Uni
ted States. DR.. Rust was born in New
England, where revolt against slavery
was indigenous, and there was never
any doubt about his willingness to be
classed among the "black Republi-
cans" or the greasy mechanics" or
whatever else the advocates of the
greatest Of national reforms were then
contemptuOusly called. Perhaps he
was never actually assaulted whilc
preaching and lecturing for emancipa-
ton. but over and over again he had
experiences violent enough to appall
any but the most stOut-hearted. Over
forty years ago he became president of
the Freedman's College at Xenia. Ohio,
and while holding this position he had
much to do with the insertion Of the
clauses against slavery into the gen
eral Methodist discipline. After the
war DIR. Rust was the father Of the
Methodist policy Of extending schools
for freedmen all over the South. which
has resulted in about eighty institu-
lions that serve as lighthouses Of
knowledge to the whole colored race.
