Brave Soldier Dies.

Capt. VIM. G.. Thompson died In
this city on Tuesday last, aged about
80 years.
In his younger days Capt. Thomp'
SIM was quite n military man. He
commanded company of youths in
this city, before the breaking out of
the war, of which the writer was Il
member. When the civil war came
on he cast his fortunes with the Con-
federacy and made brave and dar-
ing soldier of the lost cause.
When the war closed he re-
turned to this city and resumed his
avocation as silversmith, with the
late A. Conery, Esq.
When Mr.. COnery retired from
business, Capt. Thompson was APP
pointed to a position at the State
Arsenal, which he held for several
years.
He was Captain of the Governors
Guards of this city for long time.
While on his way to Lexington to
attend the encampment of the State
Guard, several years since, he was so
unfortunate as to fall from the train
and break his leg. Because of i'm
proper treatment of his injuries, he
never recovered from the fall and
was cripple the rest of his life.
His troubles were aggravated by in
flammatory rheumatism, and he was
a great sufferer.
So long as he was able to do any
thing he continued to work, but for
some time had been unable to attend
to business.
Some weeks since he was taken to
the Kings Daughters Hospital,
where he was given every attention
that he needed, and where he lin
gered until O'clock Tuesday night,
when his tired heart ceased to beat.
The remains were taken in charge
by his brethren Of the Confederate
Association.
The funeral services were CON-
Quoted on Wednesday afternoon, at
4 o'clock, by Rev. Father Tom Major,
after which they were deposited in
our cemetery.

For the Roundabout
Saddest Eyes.
INSCRIBED TO A DISTINGUISHED KEN
TUCKY GIRL.

Saddest eyes, OF saddest eyes
Deeply dark as midnight skies,
With fash of etars within their light
Hast thou been forever drinking
At the fount of troublous thinking,
In a life ofgloom and blight?
Theirs the sadness that eludes
Speech or answer for thy moods
And 80 serious is thy face:
With thy cheeks like fainting roses
Secret lips like white. shut posies,
Keeping faith in power and place.
Saddest eyes, o! hast thou seen,
What is life behind its screen,
Seen and felt its bitter part?
Hast thou learned thy polished
phrases
In school where stinted praises
Brought no light to eye or heart?
Is it this or dost thou hear
Music not for common ear,
Pathetic as the flow of tears,
Vanished home, and hearts forever
Lost beyond recall-"Ab! never
The requiem of farewell years?
Saddest eyes, tits not tor thee
This world-knowledge meant to be,
The bar and bale of after life.
Thou dost stand, like lily lonely
On a parian statue only,
'Bove the dust, the toll and strife,
All! what time for winsome play
OF the sceptre thou canst sway
Ger all hearts that throng around,
But in wisdom thou art wiser,
Thou hast learned not to despise her
Counsel, lest it's dictates wound
Saddest eyes, o! saddest eyes
That never look in sweet surprise,
Aud never feign youths own delight
Hast thou lost faith of believing
All things lovely, thus receiving
Veil of glamour DER thy sight?
1t is well to seem as tho
Thou'st not learned in all to know,
Oflife and love, it's woe and veal;
1t is well to WOO Illusion,
Dream a DIRE am of fair conclusion
Better this, tho life's appeal.
SlGdest eyes, o! saddest eyes,
Bring a heart-break at assize
When rejected is thy claim.
Smile. tho thou art sadder, sadder
Smile, thy soul may yet be gladder,
Shield thy courage, from all blame.
This is noble, right and fair
Dun not eyes, with knowledge rare,
Nor thought beyond thy tender years;
Let beauty have its lovely dover,
From thy glances, take its power
And throw to age and seer all fears.
Saddest eyes, o! saddest eyes
With myst'ry Of the midnight skies,
Catch the beams of morning star
While life is in it's rosy glisten,
Lean thou over clouds and listen
To youths's song of hope afar.
Cherish this, o! maiden fair!
Thou of face so rich and rare,
Thou of queeniy grace serene,
Then the smile, that fades,in cleaning
On thy lips, will light the beaming
OF saddest, eyes were ever seen.

The change is, in fine. merely a

Under the former order rates we're

presumed to have n normal capacity,
but sometimes in shipping the aver
age is either raised or lowered accord

the plan OF charging cents per hum

which he ships, and each and every

actuated him ever guide u people
and temper the strength OF the nation
which has outgrown him with the
eternal principles for which he has
fought and died.
We do not believe hat the nation
has o%utgrown the spirit OF her gallant
volunteers, and Governor Lind did
not mean that his words were to be
construed literally. The speech WIS

The meaning is literal and dangerous
