THE UNKNOWN BLUE AND GRAY.

There are unknown graves in the valleys
That the troops of var possessed,
Where the bugles sounded for rallies,
But the bullets sang of rest;
And the mountains hold without number
Hidden graves from wars mad day
Where the unknown men have their slumber
In their shrouds Of blue and gray.
And no drums will rumble and rattle
And no flies blow sharp and shril
In the valleys that knew the battle,
Nor atop the lone high hill;
But the silent stars know the story
And the broad sky of the day
Bends and whispers low Of their glory
10 these men of blue and gray.
And no. banners DER them are waving
No marches come and pause
With cheers for the land of their saving
Or tears for their lost cause;
Yet the twilight stars intermingle
With the hues when ends the day.
And the striving flags now are single
Ger the men of blue and gray.
There are unknown graves in the thickets.
On the hillside and the plain,
OF the missing scouts and the pickets
Yet they did not fall in vain.
Though their names may not be engraveu
And their places in the fray,
In our hearts now each finds a haven,
They who wore the blue and gray.
For the God Of battles is kindly
With none of mankind's hate
That IS cherished even so blindly-
And these pawns of warfare's fate
Have their tombs of natures splendor
Each set forth in proud array
Through an impulse holy and tender,
Though they wore the blue and gray.
Where once were the guns that wrangled
Sounds the peace song of the thrush,
And the roses and vines are tangled
In the solemn, sacred hush;
Where the cannon one day would lurtle
Their missiles in the fray
Grows the rue and the creeping myrtle
Ger the graves of blue and gray.
They are natures hands that are strewing
The flowers on each mound;
1t g Gods own beautiful doing
That each unknown grave is found
Where the cypress leaves are aquiver
Where peaks lift through the day,
Where the forest signs to the river
OF the unknown blue and gray.

We ATE NOT MANY.

We are not many, we who stand
Beside our comrades graves today,
But remnants Of a patriot band
Ere long we too shall pass away;
Yet while we live, with reverent hearts
Wen honor those who went before;
While as each brother, called, departs,
Is re-enliSted one name more,
We're growing old, who're left behind.
With children round our knees;
While still our stories, to their mind,
Are finer than the history's.
we are to them as heroes true,
And love of country thrills each heart,
For we can tell of what we know,
OF battles where we bore our part,
We strew bright flowers DER our dead,
And smiles are mingling with them there:
NO longer DER them tears are she'd
We know the uniform they wear.
The flag still saves that DER them waves;
But. as the pilgrim years go by,
How few are left to deck their graves,
And fewer-till we with them lie.
We stand upon the rivers verge,
And see the Golden City shine
Where all earths warning discords merge
Into sweet harmonies divine
Dividing River, bright and cool,
Ger which we all must take our way.
When to that Harbor Beautiful
We all shall sail some day, some day.

SOLDIERS IMMORTAL.

They sleep beneath the daisied sod.
And over. them we strew
White lilies with their hearts of gold.
And roses bright with dew.
They sleep beside their rusty swords.
The blue coats and the gray,
Till Gabriel blows the reveille
Upon the Judgment Day.
They live within the nations heart,
Each gallant soldier-son
Who fought with Lee the losing light
Or marched with Grant and wen.
They live in every silver star
That glitters in the flag,
From old Nantucket's light to cold
Alaska's farthest crag.

During the last quarter of the nine
tccnth century 4 trial that was very
much diSCussed--on account of the Gle
Incnts OF sensation about it--wns the
prosecution OF Herr johann Most and
Ills German paper called Tho Fret
heit." Most WAS the editor and pro-
prietor .: the paper. which was print
ed in London. and II was claimed that
lac had endeaNored to !nc!tc persons In
Germany and In foreign countries to
ASA ss!nRte their rulers. and also with
having published a false and malicious
libel concerning the luto Emperor OF
Russia, and with melting evil-disposed
persons to murder the reigninE SOW
cre!grs of Russia.
Tho case was brought to trial on
May 90. 1881, The Attorney q enrral.
In opening tho case, said the question
10 be tried whether articles of
such nature rs that published hy the
defendant could DO printed with Inn
punity. That Most was tho writer OF
the articles IL the paper Was no, dis
puted. Prior to the publishing of the
articles LII question attempts had been
made upon the lives of two Emperors
Of Europe. ON the 18th of March tho
Emperor OF Russia was murdered. and
no argument could be allowed to main
tain the justice OF the murder.
The court held that the editor had
the right TO express his views In re-
lauon to political matters. but tho
question for the jury was whether tho
prisoner had not exceeded the limit
which the law Of Germany allowed.
The article complained OF was. In
part. as follows: Triumph Triumph
"A: last! The word OF the poet Is full
