When heaven was stormy, earth was cold, And sunlight shunned the wold and wave, Thought burrowed in the church-yard mould' And fed on dreams that haunt the grave. But now that heaven is freed from strife. And earth's full heart with rapture swells, Thought soars through fields of endless life Above the shining Asphodels. What flower that drinks the south winds's breath, What sparkling leaf what Hebe rorn, But flouts the sullen gray-beard Doath, And laughs our arctic doubts to scorn ? Pale student, scant of healthful blood, Your ghastly tomes one moment close; Pluck freshness from a spring-time bud, Find wisdom in the opening rose. Mark the white lily, whose sweet core Hath many a wild-bee swarm enticed, And drew therefrom a honied lore Pure as the tender creed of Christ! Yea, even the weed, which upward holds ] Its tiny ear past bower and lawn, A lovelier faith than yours unfolds, Caught from the fair faith winds of dawn. -Paul H. Hayne in Harper's Magazine. istJlIantDu5. THE CONFEDERATE GENE RALS. ] A Sad Record of their Fortunes Since APpo mattox. H. W. Grady, in the Atlanta Constitution. NEW YORK, January 3.-What a strange, and in the main, what a sad history is that of the Gen erals who led the Confederate armies in the late war. It is a story of poverty and deprivation, lit up here and there by a gleam of good luck-but of poverty b borne manfully, and of depriva tion met with the same courage that led these men to the front of heir legions. The fate of the 'Rebel Briga- h dier' at the c!ose of the war was enough to depress the most buoy- c ant among them. They bad put everything on the turn of the sword and had lost. Property, e business and all had been sacrificed in the ardor of war, and they were a left, in the fierce light of fame, without any resource-expected t to support a certain dignity and nothing to support it on. There was no standing army into which they could be retired with ado-c quate salary. There was no hope g, for them inl the thousands of lu crative offices that- the Republi- ~ cans distributed among the Fed eral Generals. Their States wore impoverished and were unable to support civil establishments that would furnish offices out of which anything could be hoped for. Of course thbe privates of the Con fed rate army were deserving of all sympathy; but it seems to met that the Generals had somewhat harder lines. At any rate I am sure that there is no old soldier that followed the Stars and Bars that will not road with interest a kindly inquiry into the history of these old loaders and their fain ilies I hardly know where to begin, but suppose we take the living t Lees with which to open the hur ried review. W. H. F. Lee, the( oldest son of Bobert E. Lee, isI living at present in Fairfa.x Coun ty on a farm that belonged to the estate of his aun t, Mrs. Fitzbugh.1 It is a fine place; the General is an attentive and successful farmer, and he gets a comfortable living out of it. Custis Lee, the next son, 'succeeded his father as Pres ident of Washington Lee Univer sity and lives in Lexington. He is a bachelor, and his two sisters live with him. He has fine expec tations, Judge Hugbes having de cided that the Arlington estate, now used as a Federal cemetery, is his by right of law. The case has been appealed, but the judg ment will'bardly be revesed-and the place will be appraised and payment made for it. Robert Lee lives on the old Lee estate in Westmoreland County, where he is moving along smoothly, making enough to_supply his wants. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has a farm on the Potomac, that belonged to his aunt, Mrs. Fitzbugh, and, it is said, is showing considerable en terprise, though not amassing money. He has a flour mill, I think, in connection with his farm. The House and the Senate haN a good many of our Generals, at I think, with the exception Generals Cockrell and Vance, a of them find their salary very in portant. Gen. Vance was livin very easily, and added to his fo Lunes by his late marriage. Ser stor Cockrell, who was a bras znd dashing officer, built up a li ,rative practice in St. Louis b< ore he came to the Senate, an s well fixed. Besides these ther re in the Senate, Maj.-Gen. Mat Ransom, who is struggling t dlear his property of encumbranec hat he was forced to put upon i 1o make it productive. Brig.-Get rohn T. Morgan, of Alabama, wh lepended upon his law practic< vbich was larger in volume tha n.income ; Lieut.-Gen. Hamptot >f South Carolina, who is a con )aratively poor man, though arge land-owner; Maj.Gen. Bul er, his colleague, who lost all i he war and has not recovere nuch ; Maj.-Gen. Maxey, of Texa. vho, by the way, has an ind( >endent income from his practice .nd owns a beautiful home ii ?aris, Texas. In the House there are man; rigadiers, and a few beavie renerals. Gen. Joe Johnsto 3ads in rank, though his servic n the House has not been bril iant. He has a fine insuranc usiness, and his wife, a daughte f Judge McLean, had considerabl roperty. His 'book has not pai im much I hear, being publishe nder a poor contract. Alabam as done well by her Generals aving in the House Major-Gen V. H. Forney, who has little be ond his salary, and Brigadier hen. C. M. Shelley, who is ii bout the same condition. Georgi; as Brigadier-Gen. Phil Cook, wh as a good law practice in Ameri us, Ga., and who has bad fou: arms in the House. Brigadier en. Dibrell, of Tennessee, ii omfortably fixed, and is re-electe< the House for his third term nd Atkins and Whbitethborne, of thb ime State, were Generals of Stati roops. Virginia has Brigadier en. Beale, who is doing wel utside of Congress, and Gen. Ep~ a Hunton, who retires at tb< lose of the present Congress, per etly able to take care of him elf. North Carolina has Gen obert Vance in the House, t< alance Gen. Zeb in the Sen ate ouisiana has Gen. Randall Gib on, who has been elected to the ext House, and to the Senate al o. He is a rich man, having ha< 1ans of his own, and his wife aving bad some property. Get balmers is a representative c e famous shoe-string distric f Mississippi, and is moderatel; vel off. Trhis finishes up the lis f 'rebel' Generals in the HOUS d Senate, I think, without omnii ion. There are a number of Confed rate Generals in the depar1 rents and in various service i Vashington. First in the impo: ance of his work is Gen. Marcu .Wright, who has charge of th onfederate records, and whbo wa ooking towards a literary cot ~ection when he was offered thi lace. Maj. Gen. C. W. Field, whb ought to the last day in tb norning with Lee, is doorkeepe f the House, having formerly ha n insurance business that gav im a living, but not much mort iaj.-Gen. Lamar, w ho was a brav oldier, has some position abot ,be House, probably being in th locument room. Maj.-Gen. Cad nus M. Wilcox is with th tergeant-at-arms of the Senat 1nd has little fortune outsid f his position. Maj.-Gen. Sar rones is. in the adjutant-general >ffce where he has agood thong iot a prominent place. Maj.-Gei Earry Heth, who was a clas: nate and great friend of Burnsid< aas a comfortable position in th ~reasury-and this closes the ro [ beleve of the Generals of tb outhern armies about Washing on in any capacity, unless Get D. L. Stevenson, who was forme> y clerk of a Congressional con mittee, still holds his place. The cause of education has et aged the time and gives suppo: Io a good many of the old Ieader of the boys in grey. Gen. Custi e i Lce is at Washington Lee as d before noted. Gen. Kirby Smith Df is chancellor of the University of ,li the South at Suwanec, Tennessee, a- his necessities making him great g ly dependent on his salry. Lieut. r- Gen. ). H1. Hill is President of the i- State Agricultural College of Ar- 1 -e kansas at Favettcvillc, at a sal i- [ary of $3,500. He has been poor r ever since the war. anc: lost much d time and money in publishing -e a periodical that was, however, a t creditable and pure )ublication, I o and in teaching school. Brig..Gen. ( s M. P. Lowry has charge of a fe t male school at Salem Miss., and ! . is prospering finely. Lieut.-Gen. r o A. P. Stewart is chancellor of the N University of Mississippi, where 6 n he gets a good salary and has a I , fine position. Brig..G-en. Lilly is I - a professor somewber), I think at t a Washington.Lee Ufiversity, and b- this, I believe, closes the list of s n Generals who are engaged in a d training the young men of the i i, South. And yet there is Gen. J. C 3- Argyle Smith, now superintendent , of State instruction for Mississippi. There are very few of our old u Generals who have accepted office 1 from the Federal Government. r r Lieut.-Gen. Longstreet is minis- r n ter to Tnrkey. Col. Mosby, who E e won the prominence of a General, I - is consul to Hong-Kong. Maj.- v e Gen. Lafayette McLaws, who was r r one of the powers of the Army of 1 e Virginia, is postmaster at Savan I nab. Maj.-Gen. James Fagi^ was E J United States marsha1 of Arkan- e a sas under Grant, but I believe is I , out of the service now. I do not i know of any others that hold po- I litical appointments, and believe 2 there are none others. Oh yes, b i there is Gen. Jack Wharton, of s i Louisiana, n ho took the marshal- g > ship of the New Orl.ans district , E - few years ago. t r The railroad business has cap- I - tured its quota of the Generals a s and pays good salaries for ligh t f i and genteel work. Maj.-Gen. John 3 - C. Brown, of Tennessee, is first 1 a vice-president of tUc Texas Pa- a a cific, with headquarters at Mar - -shall and a salary of $10,000 a e 1 year and expenses. He had money ( -before he took this place, having a a bad a practice of 8.000 to $10,000 v - from soon after the war. Major - Gen. John B. Marmaduke is rail- V. .road commissioner- of the State of i >Missouri on a salary of $5,000 a Li - ear, on which he lives with dig- s - nity and ease. He is a bachelor d 3 and will probably leave his po. b - sition with a competency. He g I stands high in St. Louis. Ma- a S jor-General T. L. iRosser, one d of the most daring cavalry- I f men that ever drew a sabre, is s t chief engineer of the Northern n SPacific at a big salary and has t made a for tune in lands along the is e line. Lieut.-Gen. John B. Gordon li .- is counseL for the Louisville and b Nashville Road, at a salary of' s . $14,000, and Gen. IE. P. Alexander, $ - the best artillerit of the army, is I D practical manager of the same d -road at probably as large a salary. c s Gen. R. H. Ranscem was in charge n e of the freight tagency of an im- s s portant Southerr, line. Maj.-Gen. t .E. C. Walthall lives in Grenada, ( s Miss., and is gener-al counsel for I: the Mississippi Central road at p C a salary of $10,000 per annum, an d I r is well off in the world's goods. s d There are three of our Generals c e who have become chiefs of police. r 3. Brig-Gen. iR. H. Anderson, a dash- e e ing cavalry officer, is chief of po- ( t lice in Savannah.- Brig- Gen. Tige v e Anderson is chief of police in At- c - lanta, and Brig-Gen. WV. W. Allen c e is chief of' police in Montgomery, v~ e Ala. o There is a number who have r n turned the sword into a plough, t 's and are leading bucolic lives. Be- r sides the Lees, who have gone to I 2. farming, there is MXaj.-Gen. Frank i 3 B. Cheatham, w bo has a fine place I , in Coffee County, Tenn., on whbich s e he makes a goo)d living. Gen. WV. v 11 H. ('Red') Jackson, who married 1i e a daughter of Gen. Harding, and I - has charge of the famous Belle c 2 Meade farm, the home of Bonnie i r- Scotland, Great Tom and En- S 1- quirer, and from which came t Bram ble, Ben Hill and Luke Black >- ham. Hie is rich and is up to his f et knees in- clover, literally and de-I -s servedly. Maj.-Gen. A. Buford hass i fn e stock farm that is in itself 1 vorth a fortune. Brig.-Gen. irt ldams is getting rich on a Mis =issippi farm. Gen. Joe. Davis is arming near the famous Beauvoir >lace in Mississippi, but is in mod ,rate circumstances. Lieut.-Gen. Foe Wheeler, whose wife was ricb, uns a farm, does a large law >ractice and owns a store. le is 'ich and is becoming richer, and ;oes to Congress next session. Jaj.-Gen. Pierce Young is farming n Georgia, and Gen. L. J. Polk ias a fine stock farm in Murray ,ounty, Tennessee. There are few of the Generals vho hold State ofices. I may iegin with Gen. A. 11. Colquitt, vio is Governor of Georgia at 3,000 a year and who is quite ioor, although he has valuable ands. Gen. Beauregard is adju ant-general of the State of Louis na at S2,500 a year-which alary is supplanted it is said by salary of $5,000 from the Louis %nr State Lottery of which he is ommissioner. The law, of course, has its otaries. Gen. Toombs, of Geor ia, who is very rich, practices 2w in a casual way, chiefly rep. esenting the State against the ailroads volunteering for the tate. Gen. A. R. Lawton and I. R. Jackson, both of whom are rell.to-do, practice law in Savan ah, Ga., and have large incomes. Iaj.-Gen. Bate has a good practice 4ashville and is looking to the enate. Gen. Alpheus Baker, most loquent of men, p:actices in ouisville, where he is coming nto a good income, which Gen. ,asil Duke, who is also in Louis ille, has already built up for inseif. Maj.-Gen. Bradley John ton, who is said to have made a Treat deal of money in Virginia tate bonds, is practicing in Bal imore, with a big income, where rig.-Gen. George H. Stewart is so located, and in gond shape r a fine practice. Maj.-Gen. W. C. umes is practicing in Mem his, where he has already massed a competency, and Brig - ~en. C. WV. Gordon is in the same ity, doing nearly as well; Gen. ingman, of North Carolina, is leo practicing law and doing tell. Insurance has lost its populari-. 7 with the Generals, although [aj.-Gen. B. Hi. Robertson, now ving in Washington, has made a aug fortune out of it, and is riving a pair of Bonnie Scotland ays down the avenue-a gallant entleman and general favorite, nd blessed is the mahogany un er which his legs are crossed; [aj.-Gen. D. H. Maury is at in arance, and has done well, though ot so well as Gen. Robertson. Of miscellaneous pursuits, there a variety. Gen. Jubal Early is ving at Lynchbu rg, a Bourbon achelor, in tolerable circumn Lances. It is said that he draws 5.000 a year from the Louisiana ottery as comnmissioner of special rawings ; Maj.-Gen. Mahone is onsidered rich, having made oney in railroad bonds and ocks, it is said, and is now sena ar elect from Virginina; Lieut. hen. C. Pemnberton is living quiet and in poor health in Philadel hia, where he has a rich brother. le is himself in moderate circum ances. He has writ:.en a book n Vicksburg's defence and sur ender, but I do now know wheth r or not he will publish it. Maj. ien. S. B. Buckner has had a aried experience. His wife own d large tracts of unimprov d real estate in Chicago, bich was confiscated, but after ards recovered. It was then ortgaged and built up-and in he panic w as sacrificed for its ortgage-money, leaving Gen. uckner poor. He is now living 2 Louisville. Brig.-Gen. Zack )eas, of Alabama, wvent into Wall treet and made about $200,000, rith which he retired, and is now .ving in ease. Brig.-Gen. P. D. toddy, the brave and chivalric avalryman, also made a fortune 2 Wall street, but lost over 100,000 in a few days, and went o London, where he is now living s financial agent of some banking rm in moderate circumstances. rig.-Gen. J. WV. Frazer, who irrendered Cumberland Gap, is Newm York, in the brokerage business, doing well. Brig.-Gen. Thomas Jordan is editor of the 3ining Record, on Broadway-a prosperous paper. Maj.-Gen. Lor ing, who served four years in the Egyptian army, is now engineer for a mining company in New Mexico, and is taking chances of a big fortune. Gen. Frank Arm strong has made a fortune by running a 'pony' express in Texas, and Gen. A. W. Reynolds, who went to Egypt with Loring, is still there, though out of service. Gen. Tom Benton Smith lost his mind, and was, the last time I heard of him, in an insane asylum in Ten n essee. It is a melancholy fact that near ly every General who died or was killed, died in poverty brought about by his devotion. Raphael and Paul Semmes both died poor, Gen. Zollicofle' left nothing to a family of five daughters, but they have all married, save one, and have married well. Gen. Pillow's death caused the sale of his house and library, which, however, his friends rebought by subscription. Gen. T. C. Hindman, who was as sassinated, left nothing at al. Gen. Dick Taylor died poor, and his two daughters are living with his sister at Warrenton. His book did not pay. Gen.'Stonewall' Jack son left his wife and daughter without means, but his name has raised friends for them, one of whom, Mr. Wade Bolton, of Mem phis, I think, left them $5,000 in his will. Gen. Polk left nothing to his family, but his son, Dr. Polk, has an immense prac tice and distinguished character in New York. Gen. Bushrod Johnson left only one son, who is doing well, and Gen. Forrest, who left but little, left it with a thrifty and prosperous son, who makes all that is needed. Gen. Ewell's wife had about $100, 000 worth of property in St. Louis, I think, which was saved from onfiscation by a friend. Mrs. Ew.ell died within three days of er husband. Gen. Bragg died without property, and his wife ives with her sister in New rleans. Tfhe history of Gen. ood's children is.part of the his ory of the country. Gen. D. H . ooper died in poverty. Maj. en. WV. H. C. Whiting, of Fort isher fame, who died in Wil ington prison in '64, left noth ng, and Gen. L. M. Walker, who was killed in a duel with Marina uke, left but little to his wife, who now lives in Charlottesvile en. Tom Cobb-oh, wh9,t a avalier was there ! left to bis amily but little of the fortune tat his generous heart dispensed o bountifully in the piping times f peace. Truly it is a sad history ! The tory of men who gave their lhves o their country, and left nothing o their wives but a poverty that ade life a struggle. Braver sol iers never drew sword-purer en never went to battle - whiter inded men never went to death. ad the issue of the conflict to wich they pledged their honor and their lives been different, a leasanter record could have been written. As it is, the love and ympathy of a whole people will evelope their widows, their os, and their daughters, and heir names and their deeds shall e part and parcel of the glory of he South. That plenty should produce either covetousness or prodigality is a perversion of providence, and yet the generality of' men are the orse for tbeir riches. It is a distinguishing feature of Cristianity that its God is a God of love. Christianity tells us that 'God is Love.' This is both His nature and His name. The youth who thinks the world his oyster, and open it forthwith, finds no pearl therein ([Mac.Donald.
