A Sailors Heart.
“Drink, " said a host, “drink one and all,
Drink, comrades. drink, within my ball ;
Speak out the name of her you love
Where’er you rest, where’er you rove,
She who to me doth peerless shine,
Bears royal name, fair Caroline.”
Up rose a youth with flashing eye,
And said, “The name for which I’d die
Is linked with the old ancestral hall,
Is found within the cottage small.
That spell to which my heart is set
Is the sweet name of Harriet. ”
Then rose with high and lofty mien
A warrior, who‘had battle seen,
And challenged all to find a name
That could with his distinction claim.
Each bent to hear it as it fell
FrOm his proud lip—’twas “Isabelle.” .
At last, when each the name had given
For which he'd venture earth and Heaven,
One' rose, whose broad and fearless brow
Had felt the cold Norwegian snow, '» ’
Whose car had heard the thunder from
That ocean waketh, old and hoar,
And thus he spoke: The name I wear
Upon my heart with choicest care, '
Hath been my chart, my guide afar,
My morning and my eyening star;
A name of names, ’twill far outshine
Fair Isabclle‘or Caroline 1”
“Hark l” cried'the guests; “this magnet tell,
Give us the name you love so well. ,
“Forgive,” he said, “a sailor’s heart.
That name from me shall never part.
They paused, ’twas music then to hear
The tender words—“My mother dear i”
If. V. Ball.
A Night Among the Nihilists.
“Robinson, the boss wants you 1”
“The dickens he does l” thought I; for Mr
Dickson, Odessa agent of Bailey & 00., corn
merchants, was a. bit of a Tartar, as I had
learned to my cost. “What’s the row now i”-
I demanded of my fellow-clerk; “has he got
scent of our Nicolaiefl escapade, or what is
it ?" - " ,
“No idea,” said Gregory; “the old boy
seems in a good enough humor; some busii
ness matter, probably. But'don’t keep him?
waiting. ” So summoning up an air of injur-fr‘
ed innocence, to beready for all contin’gen-" ‘
cies, I marched into the lion’s den.
Mr." Dickson was standing before the fire in
a Briton’s time-honored attitude, and mo-
tioned me into a chair: in front of him. “Mr.
Robinson,” he said, “I have great confidence
in your discretion and commonsense. 'The‘
follies of youth will break out, but I think
that you have a sterling foundation toyOur
character underlying and superficial levity.”
I bowed. ‘
“I believe,” he continued, “that you can
gapealfRussian pretty fluently ?"
I bowed again.
“I - have, then, ” he proceed, “a mission
which I wish you to undertake, and on the
success of which your promotion may de-
pend. I would not trust it to a subordinate,
were it not that duty ties me to my post at
present.”
“You may depend upon my doing my best,
sir,” I replied. .
“Bight sir, quite right! What I wish you
to do is briefly this : The line of railway has
just been opened to Soltifi, some hundred
miles up the country. Now I wish to get the: ‘
start of the other Odessa firms in securing the
produce of that. district, which‘I have reason
to believe may be had at very low prices. ’
You will proceed by rail to Soltefi, and inter‘,
view a Mr.‘ Dimido’fl, who is the largest
landed proprietor in the town. Make as fa-
vorable terms as you can with him. Both
Mr. Dimidofi and I wish the whole thing to
do done quickly and secretly as possible, in
fact, that nothing should-be know’n’about the
matter until the grain appears in Odessa.
You will find yourself expected at the end of.
your journey, and will start to-night. Money
shall be ready for your expense." _ '
“Gregory," I said, as I strutted into the
office, “I'm off on a mission, a secret mission,
my boy, an affair of thousands of 'pounds.
Lend me your little portmanteau, mine'stoo
imposing,and tell Ivan to pack it. Aansian
millionaire expects me at the end of my jam-
ney. Don’t breathe sword of it to any of
Simpson’s people, or the whole game will be
up. Keep it dark !”
I was so charmed at being, as it were, be-
hind the scenes, that I crept about the ofiice
all day in a sort of cloak-and-bloody-dagger
style, with responsibility and brooding care
marked on every feature; and when at night
I stepped out and stole down to the station,
the unprej udiced observer would ' certainly
have guessed, from my general behaviour,
that I had emptied the contents of the strong
box, before starting, into that little valise-of
Gregory’s. It was imprudent of him, by the
. way, to leave English labels posted all over
it. However, I could - only hope that the
"Londons” and “Birminghams” would at-
tract no attention, or at least, that no rival
corn merchant might deduce from them who
I was and what my errand might be.
Having paid the necessary roubles and got
my ticket, I ensconsed myself in the corner
of a snug Russian car and pondered over my
extraordinary good fortune. Dickson was
growing old now. and if I could make my
mark in this matter it might be a great thing
for me. Dreams arose of a partnership in
the firm. ' The noisy wheels seemed to clank
out “Bailey, Robinson do 00., “Bailey,
Robinson 85 00.,” in a monotonous refrain,
which gradually sank into -a bum and finally
ceased as I‘dropped into a deep sleep. Had
I knew the experience which awaited me at
the end of my journey, it would hardly have
been so peaceable. ‘
I awake with an uneasy feeling that some
one was watching me closely, nor was I mis-
taken. A tall, dark man had taken up his
position on the seat opposite, and his black
sinister eyes seemed to look through me and
beyond me, as if he wished to read my very
soul. Then I saw him glance downiat my2
little trunk.
“Good heavens!” thought I, “here'sSimp-
kins’ agent, I suppose. It was careless of
Gregory to leave those confounded labels on
the vallse."
I closed my eyes for a time,but on re-opea-
ing them I again caught the stranger’s earn-
est gaze. ‘ '
“From England, I see," he said in Russian,
showing a row of white teeth in what was
meant to be an amiable smile.
“Yes," I replied, trying to look unconcern-
ed, but painfully aware of my failure.
“Traveling for pleasure, perhaps?" saidhe.
“Yea,” I answered eagerly. : “Certainly,
for pleasure. nothing else." ' '—
“Of course not, said he, with a shade of
irony in his voice. “Englishmen always
travel for pleasure, don’t they. on, no,
nothing else.”
His conduct was mysterious, to say the
least of it. It was only explainable upon. -
two hypotheses—he was either a madman, or
he was an agent of some firm bound on the
same errand as myself. and determined to
show me that he guessed my little game.
They were. about. equally unpleasant, and, on
the whole, I ,waslreliev'ed when the-9min
pulled up in the tumble-down shed which
does duty for a station in like rising town Ofi
Solteif—Solteff, whose commerce I was to
direct into the great world channels. I almost
expected to see _a triumrihal arch and: plopped;
on the platform. ' 5 : , ' . 'f‘:":f’-~-.ir‘.iizz‘-
I was to be expected at the end of my
journey, so Mr. Dicksonhadinformed me. I
looked about among” tho‘motley crowd, but
unshaved man passed ‘me rapidly, and
glanced firstat me and then at my trunk-—
that lwretched trunk, the cause of all my
woes. I! disappeared in the crowd; but in
a little time came strolling past me again,and
contrived to whisper'as he. did ._so, “Follow-g
me, but at some distance. ’3 Immediately sct--’
ting off out of the station and down the street
at a rapid pace. Here was mystery with a
vengeance! I: trotted along in his rear with
my valise,and on turning the corner found
a rough droschky awaiting for me. My un-
shavened friend opened the door and I tapped
111.
“Is Mr. Dim—” I was beginning.
“Hush l” he cried. “No names, no names;
the very walls have cars. You will hear all
to-night.” And with that assurance he
closed the door, and seizing the reins we
drove off at a raprd pace; so rapid that I saw
my black-eyed acquaintance or the railway
' carriage gazing after us in surprise until we
were but of sight.
I thought over'the whole matter as we
jogged along in that abominable springless
conveyance. - , .
“They say the nobles are tyrants in Russia,”
I mused; “but it seems to me to be the other
way about, for here's this poor Mr. Dimidofi
who evidently thinks his ex-serfs will rise
and murder him it he raises the price of
grain in the district by exporting some out
of it. Fancy being obliged to have to re-
course to all this mystery and deception in
order to sell onc’sown property. Why, its
worse than an Irish landlord. It is mon-
strous!,-Well, he doesn’t seem to live in a
very very aristocratic quarter, either.” I
,soliloquized, as I gazed out at the narrow
crooked streets and the unkempt dirty
Muscovites whom we passed. “I wish
Gregory or some one was with me, for it’s a
cut-throat looking shop ? By Jove, he’s
pulled up; we must be there i”,
We were there, to all appearances; for the
droschky stopped, and my driver’s shaggy
head appeardd through’the aperture.
“It is here, most honored master," he said,
as he helped me to' slight. _
“Is Mr. Dimi—f’ I commenced;
terrupted me again.
“Anything but names," he whispered;
“anything but that. You are too used to a
land that is free. Caution, 0 sacred one l”
ind he ushered me down a stone-flagged
passage and up a stair at the end of it. “Sit
fer a few minutes in this room. he said,
opening a doorfand a repast will be served
for you ;" and with that heleft me to my own
reflections.
“Well,” thought I, "whatever Mr. Dimi-
dofi’s house may be like, his servants are un-
doubtedly well-trained. “O sacred one i"
and reverend master!” I wonder was he’d
"on! old Dickson himself, if he is so polite to
the clerk! I suppose it would'nt be the thing
to smoke in this little crib ; but I could do a
pipe nicely. By the way. how confoundedly
like a cell it looks i"
It certainly did look like a cell. The door
was an iron one and enormously strung,
while the single window wasrclosely barred.
The floor was of wood, and sounded hollow
and insecure as I strode across it. Buth
finer and walls ;were thickly splashed with
code or'some other dark liquid. “On the
whole' it was far from being a place where
one would be likely to become unreasonably
festive. .
I had hardly concluded my survey when I
but he in-
iheard steps approaching down the corridor,
and the door was opened by my old friend of
the droschky. He announced that my
dinner was_ready,-and, with many bows and
apologies for leaving me in what he called
his “dismissal'room,” he led me down the
passage and into a large and beautifully fur-.
nished apartment. A table was spread for--
two in the center of it, and by the fire was
standing a man very little older than myself.
He turned as I came in and stepped forward
to meet me with every symptom of profound
res ect. -
“go :young'and yet so honored!" he ex-
self, he continued: “Pray sit at the head of
the table. You must be fatigued by your
long and arduous journey. We dine fete-a.
fete ; but the others assemble afterward.”
“Mr. Dimidoff, I presume i” said I. '
“No, sir,” said he turning his keen gray
'eyes upon me. .“My name is Petrokine; you
mistake me, perhaps for one or the others.
But now, not a :word of business until [the
council meets. Try your. chef's soup; you
will find it excellent, I think."
Who Mr. Petrokine or the others _might be
I could not conceive. Land stewards of Dim-
idofi's, perhaps; though the name did not
seem familiar to my companion. However,
as he appeared toshun any business questions
at present I gave in to his humor, and we
conver‘sed onsocial life in England—a sub-
ject in which he displayed considerable
knowledge and acuten‘ess. His remarks, too'
On Malthus and the laws of population were
wonderfully good,though;savoring somewhat
of radicalism. , _
“By the way,” he remarked, as we smoked
a cigar over our wine, “we should never have
known you but for the English labels on your
luggage; it was the luckiest thing in the world
that Alexander noticed them. We had had
no personal description : of you ; indeed we.
were prepared to expect '_ a somewhat older
man. You"are..youn'g, indeed, sir, to hem.
trusted with such a'mission.” .
“My employer trusts me,” I replied, “and
We have learned in our trade that youth and
shrewdness arc'not incompatible.”
“Your remark is true sir ;” returned my
newly_made friend; “but I am surprised to
hear you call your glorious association a trade!
Such a term is gross indeed to apply to a body
of men banded together to supply the world
with that which it is yearning for, but which
without our exertions it can never hope to
attain. A spiritual brotherhood would be a
more fitting term.”
“By Jove l” thought 1, “how pleased the
boss would be to hear him.
“Now, sir,”:said Mr. Petrokine, “the clock
points to 8, and the council must be already
Lsitting. Let us go up together, and I will
introduceyou. I need hardly any that the.
greatest secrecy is observed, and that your-
appearanceiiiiianxiously waited."
I turned over in my mind as I followed
him, how I might best fulfill my mission and
secure the most advantageous terms. They
seemed as anxious as I was in the matter,
and there appeared to the no opposition, so,
perhaps the best thing would be to waitand'
sée'v'vhat they would ' propose.‘ ' ’ ‘
I had hardly came to this conclusion when '
my guide swung open a large door at the end
of a passage, and I found myself in a room
larger and even more gorgeously fitted up
than the one in which ’I had dined. 1A long
table covered with green baize and strewn.
with papers, ran down- the middle, ' and
around it were sitting fourteen or fifteen
men conversing earnestly. The whole scene
reminded me forcibly of a gambling hell I
had visited some time before.
Upon our entrance the company rose and
bowed. I could not but remark that my
every eye was turned upon-me with a strange
mixture of surprise and.almost .sevrile re-
spect. A man at the head of the table, who
was remarkable‘for the extreme pallor of his
face as contrasted with his blue-black ,hair
and moustache, waved his hand to a seat be;
side him, andl sat down.‘ ' ' I '
“I need hardly say,” said Mr. Petrokine,

“Come draw it mild!” thought I, adding
aloud; “If you refer to me, sir, though I
am, indeed, acting as English agent, :my
name is not Berger, but Robinson—Mr. Tom
Robinson, at your service."
A laugh ran around the table.
“So be it; so be it,” said the man they
called Alexis. “I commend your discretion,
most honored sir. One cannot be too careful
Preserve your English sobriquet by all means.
I regret that any painful duty should be per-
formed upon this auspicious evening ; but the
rules of our association must be preserved at
any cost to our feelings, and a dismissal is
inevitable to-night.”
“What the deuce is the fellow driving at?"
thought I. “What is it to me if he does give
his servant the sack ? This :Dimidoif,=~§who
ever he is. seems to keep a private lunatic
asylum.” .
“Take out the gag i” The word fairly
shot through me, and I started in my chair.
It was Petrokine who spoke. For the first
time I noticed that a burly, stout man,sitting
at the other end of the table, Jrad his hands
tied behind his chair and a handkerchief
round his mouth. A horrible suspicion began
to creep into my heart. Where wasI ? Was
I in Ma'Dimidofi’s? Who were these men
with their strange words ?
-, “Take out the gag I” repeated Petrokine ;
and the handkerchief was removed.
3 “Now Paul Ivanovitch," said _he, “what
have you to say before you go ?"
“Not a dismissal, sirs,” he pleaded, “not a
dismissal; anything but that! I will go into
some distant land, and my month shall be
closed forever. I will do anything that the
society asks : but pray, pray do not dismiss
me."
“You know our lawsgand you know your
crime," said Alexis in a cold, harsh voice.
"Who drove us from Odessa by his false
tongue and his double face ? Who wrote the
anonymous letter to the governor l’ Who cut
the wire that would have destrOyed the arch-
tyrant? You did, Paul Ivanovitch, and you
must die.”
I leaned back in my chair and fairly gasp-
ed.
“Remove him!” said Petrokine; and the
man of the droschky with two others forced
him out.
, I‘ heard the footsteps pass dofin th passage,
and then a door open and shut. Then came
a sound as of a struggle, ended by aheavy
crunching blow and a dull thud. '
“So perish all who are false to their oath,”
said Alexis, solemnly; and ahoarse “Amen”
went up from his companions.
“Death alone can dismiss us from our or-
der,” said another man further down; “but
Mr. Berg—Mr. Robinson is pale. The scene
has been too much for him after his long
journey from England.”
“0h Tom, Tom," thought I, “If ever you
get out of this scrape you'll turn over a new
leaf. You are not fit to die,and that’s a fact. ”
It was only too evident to me that by
some strange misconception I had got in
among a gang of cold-blooded Nihilists, who
mistook me for one of their order. I felt after
what I‘had witnessed, that my only chance
of life was to try to play the role thus forced
upon me until an opportunity for escape
should present itself; so Itried hard to regain
my air of self-possession, which had been so
rudely shaken. ‘ '
“I am indeed fatigued," I replied, “but I
feel stronger now. Excuse my momentary
weakness.”
“It was but natural," said a man with a
thick beard at my right hand. “And now,
most honored sir, how goes the cause in
England '1’" '
“Remarkably well," I answered.
“Has the great Commissioner condescended
“to send a missive to the Soltefl- Branch ?"
askéd Petrokine. -
5 “Nothing in witing," I replied.
“But hehas spoken of it i"
“Yes; he said he had watched it with
feelings of the liveliest satisfaction. I return-
e .
“ ’Tis well ! ’tis well i". ran round the table.
I felt giddy and sick from the critical na-
‘Ire of my position. Any moment a question
might be asked which would show'me'rn my
true colors. I arose and helped myself from
a decanter of brandy which stood on a side.
board. The potent liquor flew to my exgited
brain, and as I sit down I felt reckless enough
to behalf amused at my position and inclined
to play with my tormentors. I still,howcver,
had my wits about me.
“You have been to Birmingham i" asked
the man with the beard.
“Many times," said. I.
“Then you have of course seen the private
workshops and arsenal l’”
“I have been over them both more than
once.” -
“It‘is still, I suppose, entirely unsuspected
by the police ?” continued my interrogator.
“Entirely," I replied. ’ ,
"Can you tell us how it is that so large

Here was a poser. but my native impu-

“That is information,” I replied “which I-

In withholding it I am acting under the di-

“Anything you ask I will endeavor to an-

“tell us'_ what was the reply of Bauer, the

Here was a deadlock with a vengance.
Whether my cunning would have cxtricated
me from it or not was never decided, for
Providence hurried me from one dilemma to
another and aworse one.
,A door slammed down stairs and rapid
loud tap outside, followed by two smaller
ones. i '
“The sign of the society!" said Petrokine;
“and yetlwe were all present ; who can it be?"
The door was thrown open and a man en-
tered, dusty and travel-stained, but with an
airfofzauthoflt‘y and power stamped on every
feature of his harsh but expressive face; He
glanced roundithe table, scanning each coun-
prise. in {the room. He was evidently a
stranger to thorn all.
“Exactly so,” I replied. only too happy to: -

tenance Carefully. There was a start of sun”
“What means this intrusion, sir i” said my
friend with the beard;
“Intrusion i" said the stranger. I was
given to understand that I was cxpected,and
had looked forward to a warmer welcome
from my fellow associates. I am personally
unknown to you, gentlemen, but I am proud
to think that my name should command some
respect among you. I am Gustave Berger,
the agent from England, bearing letters from
the Chief Commissioner to his well-beloved
brothers of Soltefi.”
One of their own bombs could hardly have'
created greater surprise had it been fired in
the midst of them. Every eye was fixed al-
ternately on me and upon the newly-arrived
agent. _
“If you are indeed Gustave Berger," sa'gl
Petrokine, “who is this ?”
“That I am‘ Gustave Berger these creden-
tials will show,” said the stranger, as he
threw a packet upon the table. "Who that
man may be I know not; but if he has in—
truded himself upon the lodge under false
pretenses it is clear he must never carry out
of the room what he has learned. Speak,
sir,” he added, addressing me, “who and
what are you t” _
I felt that my time had come. My revolver
was in my hip pocket; but what was that
against so many desperate men ? I grasped
the butt of it, however, as a drowning man
clings to a straw, and I tried to preserve my
coolness as I glanced round at the cold vin—
dictive faces turned toward me.
“Gentlemen,” I said “the role I have played
to night has been a purely involuntary one on
my part. I am no policespy, as you seem to
suspect, nor, on the other hand. have I the
honor to be a member of your association. I
am an inoffensive corn dealer,who. by hn ex-
traordinary mistake, has been forced into this
unpleasant and awkward position."
I paused for a moment. Was it my fancy
that there was apeculiaruoise in the street-—
a noise as of many feet treading softly ? No,
it had died away; it was but the throbbing of
my owu heart.
“I need hardly say,” I continued, “that
anything I may have heard to—night will be
safe in my keeping. I pledge my solemn
boner as a gentleman thatflot one word of it
shall transpire through me.”
- The senses of men in great physical danger
become strangely'acute, or their imagination
plays them curious tricks. My back was to-
ward the door as 'I set, but I could have
sworn that I heard heavy breathing behind it.
Was it the three minions whom I had seen
before in, the performance of their hateful
functions. and who, like vultures, had sniffed
another victim ?
I looked round the table. Still the same,
I cooked the revolver in my pocket.
There was a painful silence, which was
broken by-the harsh, grating voice of Petro-
kine.
“Promises are easily made and easily
broken,” he said. “There is but one way of
securing eternal silence. It is our lives or
yours. Let the highest among us speak.”
‘ - “You are right, sir," said the English
agent: “there is. but one course open. He
must be dismissed.”
V I knew what they meant in their confound-
ed jargon and I sprang to my feet.
“lily Heaven 1” I shouted, putting my back
against the door, “you shan't butcher a free.
Englishman like a sheep? The {first among
you who stirs, ;drops I”
A man sprang at me. .I saw along the sights
of my derringer the gleam of a knife and the
demoniacal face of Gustave Berger.‘ Then I
pulled the trigger, and with his. hoarse
scream sounding in my ears, I was felled to
the groundby a crashing blow from behind
Half unconscious and pressed down by som
heavy weight, I heard the noise of shouts and
blows above me, and then I fainted.
' When I came to myself I was lying among
the debris of the door, which had been beaten
in on the top of me. Opposite were a dozen
of the men who had lately sat in judgment
upon me, tied two and two, and guarded by
a score of Russian soldiers. Beside me was
the corpse of the ill-fated English agent, the
whole face blown in by the force of the ex-
plosion. Alexis and Petrokine were lying on
the floor like myself, bleeding profusely.
“Well, young fellow, you've had a narrow
escape,” said a hearty voice in my ear.
. I looked up and recognized my black-eyed
acquaintance of the railway carriage. '
“Stand up,” he continued; “you’re only a
bit stunned; no bones broken. It’s no wonder
I mistook you for the Nihilist agent when
the very lodge itself was taken in. Well,
you’re the only stranger who ever came out
of this den alive. Come down stairs with
me. I know who you are, and what you are
after new ; I'll take you to Mr. Dimidoff.'
Nay, don’t go in there,” he cried, as I
walked toward the door of the cell into
which Ihad been originally ushered. “Keep
out ofithat; you’v seen. evil sights enough
for one dsy. Come down and have a glass
of liquor." _ ‘
He explained as we walked back to the
hotel that the police of Soltefi, of which he
was the chief, had bad warning and had been
'on the look-out during some time of this
Nihilistic emissary. My arrival in so unfre-
quented a place; coupled with my air for sec-
recy and the English labels on that confound-
ed portmanteau of Gregory’s had completed
the business.
I have little more to tell. Jilly socialistic
acquaintances were all either transported to
Siberia or executed. My mission was per—
formed to the satisfaction of my employers.
My conduct during the whole business has
won me promotion, and my prospects for life
has been improved since that horrible night,
the remembrance of which still makes me
shiver..

The world is perfectly accustomed to
strikes of nearly every description, but until
recently a combination of domestic servants
tosecure an increase of wages was a thing
of the future. A dozen women of Pittsburg,

the fact that such a combination is. so far as
they are concerned, a thing of the past.
They were engaged at $2.50 a week in the
peaceful avocations which centre in the
kitchen, and their sudden rebellion‘ was a
matter of surprise. Some excuse for them
may be found, however, when it is known
that the cause of their demand for an addi-
tional half~dollar a week was the imminent
descent of a number of Presbyterian
clergyman, delegates to the General Assembly
at Alleghany City. They based their de-
mands upon the capacity of the ministerial
stomach, and declared themselves so harassed
by visions of big dinners and extra work that
they could find no solace except in the. pros.
pect of extra pay. Their demand, and to re-
late, was refused, and they all went out on
strike. But their place were promptly filled
at the old rates, and once more labor is op-
pressed by capital.

The heroes who sank to their slumber
‘ Embalmed in our bitterest tears.
They lie ’mid the fields of the Southlaud.
Where bravely they struggled and:fell,
Where the waters of Gulf and of Ocean
Forever are chanting their knell.
They lie on the hills, that so briskly
They trod, intheir beauty and bloom;
They rest 'mid the wealth of the prairies,
These heroes whose tent is the tomb !

That we might exult in the freedom ',_
Ensured by the strips and the stars, , L

Nor shrunk from the bolts and his bars!

To honor these worthy defenders,
Asleep on their couches so low P
Flowers for the conquerers—fiowers!
Impearied with the deWs of the morn!
The sweetest and fairest

Into the May-time born! -

Evergreen, laurel and pine, and bay,
Over their lowly couch wa lay !
Flowers for the heroes—flowers! -
Bright with the tints of spring!
Modest and showy ones.
_ Crimson and snowy ones,
Gladly and freely we bring!
White, for the record so pure and true!
Red, for the wounds and the pain they knew!
Purple, for victory—purple and blue!
Flowers for our lost ones—flowers!
Dewy with grief-born tears!
Tears for our_noble ones,
, Sires and heroic ones,
Mourned through the desolate years!
Not they alone, felt the shot and shell!
Hearts at the North bled and broke as they
fell;
Homes all unnumbered have echoed their
knell.
Flowers for our dead ones—flowers !
Breathing affection pure !
Father-love, brother-love,
Sister-love, mother-love,
Love that is tenderand sure!
Love, that with beauty o'erreaches the years!
Love, beyond reach of suspicion or fears!
Love, that looks onward to surcease of tears !
Flowers for the Nation’s dead!
Now and ’till time is, no more!
’Oft as the spring awakes,
May into blossom breaks,
Over Columbia’s shore!
Beauty and fragrance shallmsntle their bed;
Buds in a corner circle their head!
Nature’s sweet benizon o'er them be shed!
Music shall swell in their honor'!
Loud, let it ring on the iair!
Cymbal and Ernst, and drum-beat,
Answer the bugle’s blare!
This it was that inspired them;
This that with energy fired them;
Moved them to do and to dare!
Songs to their praise. shall be chanted,
Thrilling the air of the May!
Children and youth in accordance,
Lifting melodious lay,
'Songs that re-echo their story;
Songs that bear onward their glory,
These shall be chanted for aye,—
Dirges shall wail o’er their pillow;
Dirges for beauty and bloom;
For manliest strength and affection,
Hid in the pitiless tomb! ,
Measures that sob aniflrat quiver
Like waters of deep-rolling river,
Shall flow o’er their silence and gloom!
The marble and granite shall tell of their fame
And bear through the ages each patriot's name
While the “Father of Waters" shall roll to
the sea,
And the hills shall‘stand guard o’er the blue
Tennessee, I '
While Shenandoah’s vale its harvests shall
stand, . ‘
And the sunlight sift over Gettysburg's field;
While the stately Potamac shall roll on its
pride
Through the lands that blood of {our {hero’s
has dyed;
While the waves ofthe gulf that great Fern-j
gut plowed
Shall mirrow the image ofsail and ofshroud;
While wheat-laden prairie,with myriad strings
0f glorious Lincoln still whispers, and sings;—
Lo long shall the name of each hero in blue

So long as the flag that they perrs' bed tossve
Shall ripple and droop o'er their flower-vault-

Solong as the stars o’er the nations shall beam »
shall gleam!
So long as its splendor to Fmdom allures.
And peace and abundance its triumph ensures!
Thus long shallits snow and its crimsOn,so fair
Thczwork and the worth of our heroes declare!
Thus long shall its stars, as a radiant crown,
