At Arlington. BT JAMES 11. llANUAtl. t . ^Tke broken column rcured in air, To bim who m-udo our country great; " Gan almost cnut its shadows whoro Tbe victims of a great despair, In long, long ranks of death await Tho last loud trump, tho judgement Sun Which como for all; and soon or lato, Will come for thoso at Arlington. In that vast suhclchrc roposo The thousands i caped from every fray, Tho men in blius who enco uproso In battle form to smite their foes, Tho spartan band who wore the Gray. Tho combat o'er, the death hug dono, In cummer blase or winter snows, They knep tho trace at Arlington. And almost in myriad graves Of those who gained t ho unequal llight. Ars mounds that hide Confederate braves, Who wreck not how tho north wind raves, In dazzling day or dimmest night; O'er those who lost and those who won Death holds no parley?which was right? Jchova judges Arlington, The dead had rest, the'dovo of peace Brooded o'er each with equal wings, To both had ciimcjhc grcht surcease. Tho last omnipotent rolcns From all tho world's delirious stingo? Tho bugle deaf and signal gun, They slertlike heroes of old Greece; Bcueash the glebe at Arlington. And in the spring's benignant reign Tho springs awoko her harp of pines, Touching her choir a thrilling struin Of jubilee from land to main ^ 13b? danced in emerald dowu the line, Denying largesse briabt to none, She saw no difference in the signs That told who slept at Arlington. She gave her grasses and her showers To all alike who dreamed iu dust; Her song birds wove their dainty bowers In midst of jnssamino leaves and Sowers, They piped with an impartial trust; Woofs of the air and liberal sun. Their guileless glees and worn kind just To friend aud loo at Arlington. And mid tho generous spring there oamo Somo women of the land who strove, To mnke this funcaul field of fnrno Glad as tho May God's ultar flame V?P nir.dful who hud lost o?r-?'<??; Tbe^jy^^^fi .v. j-rgon* of a name; j-t0 norm, no Bouth at Arlington. Between thoir pious thoughts and God; j Stood files of men with brutal steel, The garlands placed on rebel sod Wtro trampled iu the common olod To dio beneath the hirelings heel Facing tlm triumph of tho Hun. Our smoky Ccasar gave no nod, To keep the peace at Arlington; Jchova judge?abashing man? V^For-in tho vigils of the night His mighty storm avengers ran Together in ono choral class Bcbuking wrong, rewarding right Plucking wreaths from those who won. Tho tempest heaped them dewy bright On rebel graves it Arlington. And when tho morn came fresh and fair, Brim full of blushes ripo and red, Knee deep in heavon sent roses there, Natnr? began her earliest prayer; Abovo triumphant Southern dead, So, in tho dark and in the sun; Our causo survives the tyrant's tread; Itsleopi to wake at Arlington. - Weather Signs. Farmers predict n hard winter be cause rabbits are burrowing fa r into the ground. It is wise in a rabbit to do this. If ho didn't, some young man would hayc him out of that with a fork e'd stick pretty quick. However, if that is a sign, it cau bo offset by the ac tion of certain cockroaches around this office. Not ono( of them has even com iBenc1frtr?,to dig yet. Thoy ramble around as if they expected apple trees t? "blossom in January, and sort o* turn up thoir noses when thoy bear anything about cold weathor or tho wolf of starva tion. Thoy don't seem to enro a cent whether they swing on a gn b buruer or rooston tho steam pipes, aud their utter recklessness goon to show that tho com ing wintor won't be of much account.?
