THE COTTAGE BY THE SEA

Mrs. f. A Hubert of this city sends the
following poem in response 10 a request of
Mr.. Geo. W. Tuthill:
Childhood's days now pass before me,
Forms and scenes Of long ago.
Like dream they hover over me,
Calm and bright as evenings glow.
Days that knew no shade of sorrow,
When my young heart pure and free,
joyful hailed each coming morrow.
In the cottage by the sea
Fancy sees the rose trees twining.
Around the old and rustic porch,
And below the wild beach shining.
Where 1 gathered shells of yore.
Hear my mothers gentle warning
As she took me by the hand.
Ard ] feel again life's morning
In the cottage by the sea.
What though years have rolled above me
Though amid fairer scenes / roam.
Yet / ne'cr shall cease to love thee,
Childhood's dear and happy home.
And when lifelong's days are closing,
oh how pleasant would il be
On some faithful breast reposing
II the cottage by the sea.

OFT of the night that covers me
Black as the pit, from pole TO pole.

For my uncomfortable sogl,
In the strong stress Of circumstance

Under the bludgeorinss of Chance
My head is bloody. but unbowed.
Beyond this vale of wrath and tears
Looms up the horror of the shade;
And yet, the menace of the years
Finds. and shall find me. unaf-aid,

How charged with punishmeuts the scroll:

Lines on a Confederate Bill.

Lines on Il Confederate Bill.
REPRESENTING nothing on Gods earth
now.
And naught in the waters below il.
As the pledge Of 4 nation that's dead and
gone.
Keep it, dear friends. and show it
Show ii TO those that will lend an ear
To the tale that this tribe can tell.
OF liberty born of the patriots dream.
OF storm-cradled nation that fell.
Too poor TO possess the precious ores.
And too much OF a stranger to borrow,
We issued to-day our promise to pay
And hoped TO redeem on the morrow.
The days rolled by and the weeks became
years.
But our Golfers were empty still.
Coin was so rare that the treasury'd quake
II dollar should crop in the till.
But the faith that was In us was strong
indeed.
And our poverty well we discerned,
And this little check represented the pay
That our suffering veterans earned.
We knew 1t had hardly a value in gold
Yet as gold each soldier received it.
1t gazed in our eyes with promise TO
pay.
And each Southern patriot believed 1t.
sui our boys thought little Of peace or Of
pay.
Or Of bills that were then overdue.
We knew If /; bought Us our bread to-day,
Twas the best our poor country could do.
Keep IT, IL tells our history over.
From the birth of the dream to its last
Modest and Born OF the the angel OF hope.
Like our hope of success it Is past.

The Nirginians of the Valley.

THE knichtliest of the lnightly race,
Who since the days of old,
Have kept the lamp OF chiyalry
Alight in hearts Of gold
The kindliest Of the kindly bard,
Who rarely hating ease.
Yet rode with SpOttswOod round The land
And Raleigh round the seas.
Who climbed the blue. embattled hills
Against uncounted foes,
And planted there, in valley fair,
The lily and the rose;
Whose fragrance lives in many lands.
Whose beauty stars the earth
And lights the hearts OF happy homes
With loneliness and worth.
We thought they slept-the sons who kept
The names of noble sires-
Ard slumbcred while the darkness crept
Around their. vigil tires
Dut still the GolS IRON heshoe Knights

On the Shores of Tennessee.

MOVE my armchair. faithful Pompsy,
In the sunshine bright end strong:
For this world is fading. Pompey-
MasSa won't be with you long,
And I fain would hear the south wind
Bring once mere the sound To me,
OF the waveietS softly breaking
On the shores Of Tennessee.
"Mournful though the ripples murmur.
As they still the story tell.
How no vessels float the banner
That I've loved 50 long and well,
] shall listen Ia thei- music.
Dreaming that again / see
Stars ard stripes on S'Cop and shallOp,
Sailing up the Tennessee.
And, Pompsy. while old Massa's waiting
For deaths last dispatch 10 come,
II that exiled starry banner
Should come proudly sailing home,
You shall greet il slave no longer
Voice and hand shall both be free
That shout and point to Union co.Ors
On the waves OF Tennessee"
"Massa's berry kind 10 Pompey:
But old darky's happy here.
Where he's tended corn and cotton
For 'ese many long gone year.
Over yonder Missis sleeping
No one tends her grave like me:
She used to love In Tennessee.
Pears like she VAS watching, Massa,
IF Pompey should beside him stay;
Nebbe she'd remember better
How for him she used to pray;
Telling him that way up yonder
White as snow his soul would be
If he served the Lord OF heaven
While he lived in Tennessee"
Silently the tears we're rolling
Down the poor, old dusky face,
As he stepped behind his mister,
In his long-accustomed place.
Then a silence fell around them,
As they gazed on rock and tree,
Pictured In the placid waters
or the rolling Tennessee.
Master. dreaming Of the battle
Where he fought by Marion's side.
When he bid the naughty Tarlcton
Stoop his lordly crest of pride;
Man. remembering how yon sleeper
once ne held upon his knee,
Ere she loved the gallant soldier,
Ralph Neryair of Tennessee.
Still the south wind fondiy fingers
Mid the veterans siivery hair:
Still the bondman. close beside him.
Stands behind the old armchair;
With his dark-hued hand uplifted,
Shading eyes, he bends to see
Where the woodland, boldly iutting,
Turns aside the Tennessee
Thus he watches cloud-born shadows
Glide from tree TO mountain crest,
Softly creeping. aye and ever.
To the rivers yielding breast.
Ha, above the foliage yonder
Something fiutters wild and freel
"Massa! Massa, Halleiujah!
The flags come back TO TENNESSEE"
"Pompey, hold me on your shoulder.
Hep me stand on foot once more,
That L may salute the colors
As they pass my cabin door.
Here's the paper signed that frees you;
Give a freemans shout with me
God and Unionr be our watchword
Evermore In Tennessee"
Then the trembling voice grew fainter,
And the limbs refused to stand;
One prayer to Jesus-aTd the soldier
Glided to that better land.
When the flag went down the river,
Man and master both were free,
While the ring-doye's note was mingled
With the ripping Tennessee.

With perhaps a srander vision.
Which, alasi was not to be.
OF a newborn banner floating
Der land redeemed and free.
While thus the chieftain slumbered,
FOrgetful of his care.
The hollow tramp of thousands
Came sounding through the air.
With ringing spur and saber.
And tramplin., feet they come.
Gay plume and rustling banner.
And fife and trump and drum.
But soon the foremost column
Sees where beneath the shade.
In SlUmhor calm as childhood.
Their wearied chief is laid
And down the line 4 murmur
From lip Ia lip there ran.
Until the Silly whisper
Had spread TO rear and van.
And DER the host a silence,
AS deep and sudden fell.
As tho some mighty wizard
Had hushed them with spell.
And every sound was muffled.
And every soldiers tread
Fell lightly as a mothers
Round a baby's cradle bed.
And rank and file and column,
20 swiftly on they swept,
II seemed a ghostly army
Had passed him as he slept.
But mighticr than enchantmert.
Was that. whose magic wove
The spell that hushed their voices.

lie hadn't had a smell of food.
Not even had scent.
He never even muttered once
Till he began to talk.
And when he left the kitchen door
He took the garden walk.
He said: There's no one with me,
Because / am alone:
I might have scintiliated once:
My clothes have always shone.
I got here fore the other ones,
Because I started first
The reason ] look shabby is

Then asked him where he came from
This was just before we parted,
And he muttered indistinctly,
