POLLY AND MOLLY M'GREW.

Polly and Molly they went to school
Polly and Molly they lived by rule
They each had pencil and each had pen,
And each knew how to begin again.
Polly and Molly they did their hair
In round little knots with the utmost care,
Wore bibs to their aprons, and nobody knew
Which was Polly which Molly McGrew.
Said Polly to Molly, one Monday morn:
I'VE both on the selfsame day were born;
And when I win in the spellng-bee,
The folks don't know If it's you or me-
To wear a plat suppose you begin
While I tuck the bib Of my apron in
For when win in the spelling-bee,
would like everybody to know it is me-"
Said Molly to Polly, ard laughed right out,
And SHE clapped her hands and she gave
shout:
IF you tuck the bib of your apron in,
To wear plat I'll at once begin.
For when I am head in the grammar, too,
The folks don't know if it's me or YOU
If l parse a long sentence all right, you
see,
1 would like everybody to know it is me-"
So Polly and Molly they went to school,
Ia the blissful break OF their old-time rule;
A shining braid from twin head fell,
A bibless front marked the other we'll
And all the world in amazement knew
Wllcn was Folly Wnlcn MOlly McGCeW.
Said Polly to Molly, one later morn:
I'VE both on the selfsam day were born;
So you should not wear your hair in braid
While mine in knots arefully laid;
Ard if you've a bib to your apron new,
I should have bib to my apron, too
For when miss in the spelling-bee,
I would rather folks didn't know it was
me-
Then Molly to Polly she dropped her
head
II agree with you, Polly" she softly said;
"While your hair in knot is carefully
laid,
I never should wear my hair in braid:
And If I've bib to my apron new,
You should have a bib to your apron, too
For when I am foot in the grammar, see,
just hate the folks to be sure it is me-"
So Polly and Molly went back to school,
Determined always to live by rule
They each had pencil and each had pen,
And each knew how to begin again.
In little round knots wasjtheir shining hair
Arranged with the utmost deliberate care
They wore bibs to their aprons, and nobody
knew
Which was Polly which, Molly McGrew.

HYMN OF RECONCILIATION.

Colurnb!a, the gem Of the ocean,
The land IF the brave and the free;
My hearts most tender devotion
Shall ever go out unto thee!
The land IF the corn and the vine.
The lard of mountain and lea;
The land where the sOugh of the pine
Responds to the call of the sea.
Here's hail to the knightly citation,
AbanG oning home for the fray,
To fight for the veal Of the nation
Brave boys of the blue ard the gray.
The stars and the bars forever
D luy them sacred away;
The stars and the stripes let them ever
Wave over the blue and the gray.
Uncover and bow down the head,
Opray for the blue and the gray;
Let US leave in Gods keeping our dead,
Forgiving, forgiven, united Away.

mand to which the writer belonged
took poss ession Of the vacated field
his attention was attracted through
the shrieks, prayers and appeals of
this boy, that he went to him, and
at once was attracted by his youth
full appea rance and shocked at his
awful condition. We asked him how
it happened that he was in the
army, as he looked so very young.
He replied, saying he disobeyed his
dear mother. He also said that he
had to die without ever seeing her
again, and in the hands of his cap
tors. Oh! how he prayed to God for
forgiveness. We asked him, so much
were we interested in his welfare, as
we'll as being greatly affected by his
prayers and sufferings, if there was
anything we could do for him. He
asked for water. We took his can
teen to a spring near by and re-
turned it filled with water and gave
it to him. Oh! how thirsty he was,
apparently drinking all. was not sur
prised at this, as it is characteristic
of wounded men to be thirsty. The
suns rays were beating upon his
brow, and I arranged him a shade,
as we'll as arranging his head on an
improvised pillow, as the circum
stances and time would permit.
He had upon his person a watch
and chain, and I said to him: Gas
you know you are going to die.
won't you give me your watch?" He
replied: "No." His reason, which
was good one, was that it was the
last thing his mother, including
kiss, gave him, and he wanted to
keep it as long as he lived. This
sufficed, so far as I was concerned;
but I did assist in concealing the
chain from view, fearing some other
confederate might not be so gener-
Gus as I had been.
1 took his name and the name of
his mother, and their post Office ad-
dress, promising to write his moth
er if an opportunity ever presented
itself; but two years later, when L
was captured at Fort Gregg, lost
in the excitement my knapsack, con-
tanning my portfolio, in which the
addresses were, and as time wore on
forgot them, if I remembered them
at all, at the close of the war. I
have an indistinct recollection that
his name was Hall, and that he was
from the state of Indiana, but of
this I am not sure. He must have
been mortally wounded about nine
or ten o'clock on the morning of
the third, and presumably just where
he lay, and we trust some of your
many readers can tell more about
this boy, who undoubtedly died
where he lay, but not before we
were ordered to move, consequently
the writer could not be with him
and administer to his wants in his
last moments. The writer will ap-
preciate any information as to this
dear boy if anyone, and there ought
to be some of his comrades yet liv-
ing, can recollect the circumstances.
The writer would like his mother,
| if living, to know how her dear boy
prayed before he died.-George w.

Ex-COnfelerate.

The'e lay dying on the battlefield
of hnncellorsvillc, Va, on May 3,
1868, about 100 or $50 yards south of
the Chancellor house, and on the

of some Is or 1G summers, belonging
to the union army. This boy was
shot by shell, think, and was left

as if receiving reenforcemen,I. Then
the Indiana boys would give their hats
and caps a new twist, would again
move around the flank and in new
formation would come in as another
reinforcement.
''rhis was kept up until Stevenson
concentrated his whole division to at
tack what we had made him believe
was strong union force. We paid
dearly for our deception in the end,
because Stevenson attacked with
troops enough to overwhelm us. At
the first onset the Forty-second Ohio
and Fourteenth Kentucky were driven
back in such haste that we lost our
haversacks and blankets. We fought
all day without food, falling back foot
by foot, but maintaining our line OF
battle.
