Far up the lonely mountain side
My wandering footsteps led
The mass lay thick beneath my feet,
The pines overhead.
The trace of a dismantled fort
Lay in the forest ways.
And in the shadow mar my path
I saw a soldier's grave
The bramble wrestled with the weed
Upon the lowly mound.
The simple head-board rudely writ.
Had rotted to the ground
I raised it with a reverent hand.
From dust its words to clear.
Hut lime had blotted ail but these
Georgia
I saw the toad and scaly snake
From tangled covert start.
And hide themselves among the weeds
Above the dead man's heart
Hut undisturbed in sleep profound.
Unheeding there he lay
His coffin but the mountain soil,
His shroud Confederate gray.
I beard the roll
Along the vale
saw the rise
the realms of snow.
The rose to mind
The leaders then
f knew the sleeper had been one
Of Stonewall Jackson's men.
Vet whence he came what lip shall say
Whose tongue will ever tell
What desolated hearths and hearts
Have been because he fell V
What sad-eyed maiden braids her hair.
Her hair which he held dear.
The lock of which perchance lies with
The Georgia Volunteer
What mother with long watching eves.
And white lips cold and dumb.
Waits with appalling patience for
Her darling boy to come
Her boy, whose mountain grave swells
up.
Hut one of many a scar
Cut on the face of our fair land
By gore-handed war.
What fights he fought, what wounds he
wore.
Are all unknown to fame
Remember, on his lonely grave
There is not e'en a name.
That lie fought well and bravely too.
And held his country dear

He need now
If he were wrong or right.
He knows, ere this, whose cause was

In God the Father's sight.

A Late
It is only a little old-fashioned
farm house that is to he sold today.
There are thousand such scattered
all over our sunny land. It stands
in a large grove of oaks and elms,
the woodbines and climbing roses
twine their garlands around door
post and window sill and cling to
the old building like sacred sweet
memories of by-gone days.
This was once the home of pure
wedded affection, and the stately
old trees have echoed time and
again with the merry laughter of
children. The little ones all
dispersed and wandered, far away,
far and in the comer of the
garden is a new-made grave.

poor mother, and forsaken,

a fervent prayer. Her old home
is to be sold, she does not know
exactly why, but then it must be,
and breaking a twig from the rose
vine she tottered down the little
path to the gate.
Mrs. one old and
friend, has offered Mrs. Williams a
home, so with a burden of grief
most too heavy to bear she leaves the
dear old home. Mrs meets
her and kisses the face so
with tears and whispers,

God's will and is surely for the best,
hot it seems hard, very bard, for an
old woman like myself to have no
home of her own, and of three grown
children to have no arm to
lean upon and dropping her head
on her friend's shoulder Mrs

My Dear I a
number of State papers, three days
ago, and from then I learned of the
action of I he great convention of
the Democratic party which met in
Raleigh on the 30th of May last.
While some may have preferred
another ticket, it seem.-to me that
all must admit that the one select-
ed is worthy of the cordial support
i of any lover of government,
and that it ought to be elected by
I an immense majority. I cannot see
how any calling himself a Demo

in his support of it, but I can see
bow many who have

every friend of mine, who
I worked for me in will work
much more earnestly for him.
I am so situated that I cannot be
present in person to take part in
Judge campaign, but shall
be with him inspirit, and will be
under renewed obligation to my per-
friends to devote themselves
especially to looking after the
town-hips am a
great believer in valuable work of
the precinct committees. Much.
speaking, arc val-
factors in u campaign
is a good thing, and the more.
of it the better, but after all, it is,
the vote that is put fate the ballot
box that elects the candidate and
the campaign which does not look
well to the machinery for getting the
voters to the pools, and their voles
into the box, is not well conducted.
It is therefore all important that the
precinct part of the
be well attended and I will
request you, when you happen to
meet any one who thinks well
of me, to tell him that you have a
special message from me to him,
and the message is tin earnest re-
quest of him to take it upon himself,
on the day election to sec to it
that all of his neighbors goto
polls. I am never afraid of a man
who goes to the polls. It is the man
who stays at home of whom I fear.
The Republicans have about a
and fixed number of votes, and,
they poll them. The Democrats
have a larger
gent. When the most of that con-
stays at home we are beaten.
When they go to the polls we
are victorious; and the nearer we
come to getting them all to tho j
polls greater our victory. The;
result then depends upon this
contingent, and I know of no
better calculated to get them
to the polls than a good township i
committee. The -stay at do
not mean to do wrong. It is not i
their purpose to bring bad govern- I
upon themselves and injury to,
their country by absenting them-i
selves from the. polls. Their
or absence, often arises from
the belief that there will be enough
at tho polls without that
they may as well stay at home,
to look after some household or farm
affairs. They only need to be seen
and told of the possible results of
their absence, and urged to be pres-
; and, in cases of the aged, the j
infirm, and the poor who live at a
distance from the and are
without conveyances of then- own,
should be sent for and carried to the
polls. I repeat this is peculiarly I
the work of the precinct committees,
and work that they may do very
effectively without the expenditure
of any money and with but little
labor.
It is to exercise prop-
care in the selection of the
ship Men
be selected who do the work
they appointed to do, and they
should be scattered over the district,
so some one of the
will be able to look after the
voters. committee-
man will, in this way, have but a
small territory to look after ; he
can quietly and at his leisure, make
a memorandum, first of all the
in bis division, and on the day
election a little effort he can have i
them all at the polls. This is the
effective work of a campaign ; and,
repeat, that my special friends will
put me under renewed obligations
to them by devoting themselves
especially to this work.
As a newspaper man has good op-
to sec and talk to tho
people, I write to you to beg you to
urge this upon them when you have
the opportunity of doing so. In
fact, I may add that it is a work
which all may well and profitably
engage in.
I have referred to my particular I
friends of 1880 only because I am
anxious that they shall work much
hauler now than they did then.
With the splendid that will
be made by the distinguished Cap
who beads the ticket his
scores of lieutenants and aids, with
good organization pending the can-
and good work on the day of j
election, a victory will be
ed that will bring gladness to the
hearts of lover of good gov-
yours,

Washington Letter.
Special to
D. C, Aug. 1888.
Senator Reagan, who does not be-
with Mr. Blaine that trusts
are not private affairs, has intro-
a substitute for his former
bill defining trusts, and providing
for the punishment of persons con-
with them. He says he pro
poses to have bis bill voted on at
Ibis session, if possible.
A substitute for the bill to give
Sheridan a of
a year has been reported from the
Senate committee on pensions. It
reduces the amount to a year.
The Chinese prohibition bill was
I unanimously passed by the House,
alter the discussion has brought out
i Harrison's damaging record on the
Chinese question.
There seems to be no limit to
some people's ideas of pensions. A
bill came up in the Senate this week
which proposed to pension the I
daughter of a soldier in the I
War. It was not pasted,
nor even voted upon, so great
the opposition.
Democratic Representatives who
an absent on leave, may have their
leaves revoked, as I here seems to be
a disposition on the part of the re-
publicans to about a deadlock.
Representative Hooker, of
has introduced a bill changing
the time for the assembling of the
Fifty-first and subsequent Congress
to the first Monday in March of
each year, instead of the first Mon-
day in December.
The republican Senate has reject-
ed the fisheries treaty, and now- they
arc frightened to death lest Mr.
Cleveland should take advantage of
the power conferred upon him by
the Act to bring about j
strained relations with England.

A man who has no mind will not

more cowardly a man, the
more of a liar he is.
He that lives alone, lives in dang-
society avoids many dangers.
In this world it is not what we
take up that makes us rich.
A propensity to hope and joy is
real riches; to fear and sorrow is
real poverty.
Any feeling that takes a man
away from his home, is a traitor to
the household.

Much learning shows how little

To be firm in principle and firm
in right doing is very different from
that petty obstinacy which quibbles
over every difference of opinion and
insists on every trifling detail, to

knows where to firm and where
to be yielding, and the latter
edge is no means the least
portent.
