Our Union Dead.
BY J. 1038!! lmnrc'r.
\\ ritten in commemoration of the dear
boys who sleep in Pine Island Cemetery.
Bring bantifnl flowers and scatter them hereh
Earth‘s fairest gems from year to year.
Remember the heroes who died in their youth:
Died martyrs to honor, to love, and ton-nth.
Scatter beautiful flowers: ‘twus a glorious day
When their souls went up from the deadly fray.
Bring spring's fairest flowers to bedeck their home.
Where they lie ‘ncath the earth in silence alone.
No terrible sound of shot nor of shell
Shall waken them from death‘s potent spell:
They ever rest on from day unto day.
Yet never fife warms their pulscless clay.
Bring ever each May, as the years roll on,
Fresh flowers to strew their graves upon.
'nreir souls are with God, though their bodies lie low.
And Time, with his cycle. stalks to and fro;
Keeps guard o‘er the living as well as the dead.
‘Till we also sleep in our narrow bed
Not our youth alone were the heroes slain
in the frightful war on the Southern plain:
Father and lover and fair young brother,
A ll fell on the battle held together.
No flowers bloom there where so many lll’.
Who died in their blue ‘neath a Southern sky.
Then let us strcw flowers o'er those lying lou,
Wherever the grass waves to and fro:
And let us be glad. and nevermore weep,
For what we sow here up there we shall reap

glory of all. Never before had been seen a
dahlia of such (size, or such pedect forma-
tion, and of a hue so gloriously unique—a
vivid tinge between richest examine and most
growing crimson, tipped at the edges with
imperial purple. And now the precious root
was lost; and Mrs. Senator Rivers, the other
great and rich lady of the neighborhood and
Mr S. Harmon‘s rival in most things, Mrs.
Senator Rivers would certainly obtain the
prize and honor of possessing it, of which
the mistress of Fair-view was so anxiously,
and some people said so foolishly,atnbitious.
“ It must have been Duncan’s fault," said
Mrs. Harmon, excitedly. “ He was careless
w ith it. I cannot conceive how otherwise
the root could have been lost. I remember
perfectly that after myself taking it out of
the jar of sand I placed the bulb in some dry
moss in a curncr of the green—house shelf,
3 and pointed it out to Duncan, telling him
i that it must be set out today. And now it
1
is not to be found! and no one but Duncan
has entefed the green-house sinCe I left it
yesterday. He has been making ,some or-
. rangomcnts there, he says—clearing away
a rubbish : and no doubt he misplaced and lost
‘ the bulb. I have several times lately observ-
l ed him to be careless, and, I suspect, lazy."
I “ Oh. no, mammal“ observed Emma, t
gentle. klmllyrlonklng girl of fifteen—" not
lazy, only old, you know, and not so brisk as
people who are younger. He has been Com-
plaining of rheumatism."
“ You know nothing about it," said her
mother impatiently. “ My splendid dnbllu!“
here the tears actually came into her eyes,
and she added, “ I gave the value of twenty-
fivt- dollars for it, and I would give as much
again for its recovery."
‘ Filly dollars, mnmmn, for a Hun-1'?"
“ For :1 flower such as tlml. Then is but
one ullwr like it in the world.“
“ Then we will find it, mammu '." said
Walter. a few years younger than his :l>l(‘r,
“ llll‘ and Willie. You promise to give [won

their way to and from church, and fancied
in thclr smiling looks they were niumphlng
over him.
So the spring passed and the summer came.
blossoming into the gorgeous luxuriousness
of July and August. On the first of Septem-
ber was to be the great horticultural fair at
Lexington, the county town, about twelve
miles distant from our little village. Mrs.
Senator Rivers wanted some dresses made

Mount Joy, whose turretted roofs and many
chimneys, rising above a magnificent grove
of old trees, she could see quite plainly from
her own little cottage. She was to puss the
day at Mount Joy, and in the evening return
bringing the work with her for completion
at home. ‘ '

The lonroe Doctrine.
Nearly fifty years since an idea was
broached which at once crystalized intoa
popular maxim of American politics. In
his message to Congress, of December 2d,
1823, J «mes Monroe announced and recom-
mended a line of policy which more than
anything else has perpetuated his name
amongst his countrymen. The “Monroe
Doctrine" is almost too familiar, in its gen—
eral idea, to need explanation. It means,
however, a jealous watchfulness of the re-
public over this whole continent, and a
threatening attitude towards the attempt of
any tmns—atlantic power to gain a new foot-
hold here, or to intermeddle at all in the
struggles and issues of this new world. And,
conversely, this "doctrine” implies, and
has been taken to imply, that the United
States on her part will hold herself aloof
from the field of European politics, and
from all avoidable participation in the en
tanglements and controversies of the other
hemisphere.
To the ears of our fathers it seemed as
though an oracle of statosmanship had spo-
ken. And, it must he confessed, there were
plausible and seemingly strong reasons'to
recommend it as the counsel of a far-sighted
sagacity. At that time we were an Ishmael
amongst the nations. The terrible excesses
of the great revolution in France, which had
shocked the world with its exhibitions of
atheism and blood, were largely ascribed to
the alliance between Fronds: and ourselves
hatred of our democratic ideas and
position, and the undisguised freeth'mlting
of some of our pr’omlnent stdtesmen, made
us regarded, by the hosts of timid conserva-
tives across the water, as the seed-plot
of whatever was anarchical in govern-
ment and heretical in faith. With our-
selves, too, there was the sensitivenoss of
youth, and no lack,either,of youthful devo-
tion—a devotion usually tenacious in the
ratio that its object is untried—to those
principles of government and of human
rights we had avowed, and whose colors we
had nailed in ’76 to the most of that ship
which was then launched upon the waters
of civilization. We felt, perhaps tbo keenly,
those estimates of prejudice that were form-
ed against us, and very naturally foreboded
evil from them. We were Jealous of the
area upon which our future was tube
wrought out, and were correspondingly sus-
picious of influepceg which nigh, ‘ tkcheck, .. the
nation’s normal career, and of. every obstacle,
possible as well as actual, in the way of our
political theories. Hope, too,wasvery large:

gimto usin our Wmfiym older
nations as is foremost power amongst the
forces of modern civilization. That verdict
includes and shows the clearing away of
those early prejudices, so rife about us fifty
years ago, in the old world. We have
shown that a republic is subversive neither
of the orderof government nor of the au-
thority of faith. Truth and law have met
their opposites and conquered through their
own intrinsic virtue upon the fair and free
arena which is profi'ered here for the con-
flict. Our power to conserve all elements
of good is demonstrated tobe quite as vigor-
ous as what exists elsewhere. Nor is the
truth all told here. Not only have we held
our own but our influence on the world’s
thought has been an aggressive one. The
proof of this is in the hold which the rights
of man have taken alike upon the masses
and the thinkers of Europe, and which was
simply inconceivable to the generation of
fifty years since. It means perhaps very
little to say that France is an avowed repub-
day, under the forms of royalty, is a fact of
startling sig'niflcenoe. Instaid 'or rural;
lest the Child of Freedom will be strangled
on these shores by monarubienl hands, we
may rather question whether soon there will
be monarcbists enough left to uphold the
the throne amongst themselves, even as a
social decoration and revered heir-loom of
the past. But we are also one in “ the fam-
ily of nations," and this phrase has a mean-
ing for us that it had not for our fathers.
It is no longer a figure of speech standing
for an ideal state of things, but an actual
condition in which we hear and feel the
beatings of multitudinons hearts. With the
strides of a truer political science the world
is fast learning that the injury of one nation
is only less the suffering of all, and that the
welfare of one blesses, at least indirectly,
the rest. The agencies through which these
conditions have been developed are those of
our own day. The triumph, for instance, of
steam navigation which reduces the uncer-
tain passage of weeks across the Atlantic to
the certaintyof a few days, is that by which,
more than anything else, the barriers of
strangeness and distance are broken down.
And now America and Europe are grappled
together with linm of steel along which the
news flashes that makes the dwellers upon
both continents simultaneously one in
thought and feeling. Can we wonder that
jealous and exclusive idm arc melting
away from about the hearts of the nations?
And who would wish it otherwise than that
American isolation should be, what in fact
it is, a practical impossibility?
Such a seclusiveness would have but
little part to play, and only a temporary
obstruction to ofl‘er, along the great march
of the future. A people outgrow, however,
many of their early maxims as boys their
clothes, and though such maxims can have
had their day of usefulness they must fall
into dosuetude like obsolete laws upon the
statute book. China has had its walls, and
Japan its non-intercourse, and we our Mon-
roe doctrine, and the last, as the others,

We have already, indeed, left it behind us
Our grievances with England are now we
trust to‘be adjudicated at Geneva, and the
chosen judges upon our cause are the walr-

idea of half a century ago is dropping out
of the nation’s consciousness as we take our
place elsewhere. as well ashere, our place of
influence in every quarter of the globe, as a
living factor amongst the forces of Christen-
dom and civilization. In this there is loss
of prediction than of actual fact. Any
