A I.A.MENTED POET.


merchant, but had no taste for trading in the
mercantile life. He was born poet and lit
erary man, that is, he came into the world
with the kind Of brain most fitted, in some
mysterious way, for localities instead Of ac-
Qualities. He received an excellent college
education, and improved his mental faculties
along the lines Of romance criticism and
poetry. He became a famous writer, and so
adept that no less paper than the New York
Evening Post, celebrated for it's correct taste
and high standard of English composition,
engaged him as it's book-reviewer and general
we think, contributor to it's editorial columns
He had delicate w.t. charming fancy and
most winsome conversational endowment
The last time we saw him one hot summer
afternoon, at work In small room in the
Post building, just, as Carl Schurz was an

full Of his poems is emusic in Camp" as fol-
lows:
Two armies covered hill and plain,
Ran deeply crimsoned with the stain
OF battles recent slaughters.
The summer clouds lay pitched like tents
In meads Of heavenly azure;
And each dread gun of the elements
Slept in it's high embrasure.
The breeze so softly blew, it made
No forest leaf to culver;
And the smoke of the random cannonade
Rolled slowly from the river.
And now where cireling hills looked down
With cannon grimly planted,
0 er listless camp and silent town
The golden sunset slanted.
When on the fervid air there came
strain, now rich, now tender;
The music seemed itself a1ame
With days departing splendor
A federal band, which eve and morn
Played measures brave and nimble,
Had just struck up with flute and horn
And lively clash of cymbal.
Down focked the soldiers to the banks;
Till, margined by it's pebbles,
One wooded shore was blue with "Yanks,"
And one was gray with "Rebels"
Then all was still. and then the hand

Went proudly Ger its pebbles,
But thrilled throughout its deepest flow
With yelling Of the Rebels
Again pause; and then again
The trumpet pealed sonorous,
And "Yankee DOODLE was the strain
To which the shore gave chorus.
The laughing ripple, shoreward flew
To kiss the shining pebbles
Loud shrieked the swarming Boys in Blue
Defiance to the Rebels.
And yet once more the bugle sang
Above the stormy riot.
No shout upon the evening rang
There reigned holy quiet.
The sad, slow stream, it's noiseless food
Poured DER the glistening pebbles;
All silent now the Yankees stood,
All silent stood the Rebels.
No unresponsive soul had heard
That plaintive note s appealing,
So deeply "Home, Sweet Home" had stirred
The hidden founts Of feeling
Or Blue or Gray the soldier sees,
AS by the wand Of fairy,
The cottage meath the live oak trees,
The cabin by the prairie.
Or cold or warm his native skies
Bent in their beauty O er him;
Seen through the tear-mist in his eyes,
His loved ones stand before him.
AS fades the iris after rain,
In Aprils fearful weather
The vision vanished as the strain
And daylight died together.
But memory, walked by musie's art
Expressed in simple numbers,
Subdued the sternest Yankees heart
Made light the Rebel's slumbers.
And fair the form Of Music shines
That bright celestial creature
Who still mid wars embattled lines
Gives this one touch Of Nature
I need not add that John Randolph Thomp-
son died poor. He remained at his post until
summoned away for final rest or eternal ac-
tivity. I hope that, like old Colonel New
come, when about to yield up the ghost in
poverty, he heard the Masters call sweetly,
gently, willing and resigned, and answered,
