THE BURIAL OF OUR DEAD.
11Y COL. o'ulARKA OF KENrU(KY.
Tho mufiled drum's sad roll has beat
The soldier's last tattoo;
No more on life's parade shall meet
That brave and daring few.
On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tets are spread.
And glory guards i i .-mn round
Th bi vollac -r i b ; I ".
No rumor of ilo w. ,

No iroubled i at idiinight hauns,
Of love! oiew . eii ;
No vlsion or the wiori w' i s st ife,
'Tie warrior's i elim alahrms -
No braying horn lnor scremintig fife
At dawIn shal onl to Ims.
Their shivered swords are red with rust,
Their pluntud heads are howed,
Their haughty banners trailed in dust.,
I now their iitmrtial shroul.
Am plenteous funeral tears have washed
Their red stals fPoi each brow.
And their proud foris in btile gashed,
Are free from anguish now.
The neighing steed, tei flashing blado,
The t rumpel s stirritig bhst
The charge, thit direadful nnuionado,

Nor wt.'s wildi otoInor glorv's peal

SOUTIAIN SCuOOL JBoOK.-It is no
longer possible to use, in our schools,
the books of North orn origin. They
aro found usually to belio our history,
slander our people, and spoil our Ion
guago. W e want the truth, and not
liotions, which are not only terribly
false, but terribly dull and stupid.
We want the English language, and
not a brogue. Wo rejoice to see that
proper efforts Laro making, in propor
places to givo us the sort of books wo
nlood for the education of the young.
The prsfessors of the Virgihia Uni

we are not in political. We counsel our
people, as well as our school teachors,
