Thc Confed?rate Dcnd.
From the broad und calm Potomac,
To the Rio Grantle'? traves.
Have the brave and noble fallen,
And the earth is strewn with ?rave?.
In the vale and on the hill-side.
Thro' the woods and by thc stream.
Has tho martial pageant faded,
Liko the vision of a dream.
Where tho reveille resounded,
And the stirring call "to arms,"
Nod the downy heads of clover
To the wind's mesmeric charms;
Where tho heels of trampling squadrons
Beat to dust the mountain pass.
Hang the dew-drops' fragile crystals,
From the slender stems of grass.
Where tho shock of meeting armies
Roused the air in raging waves.
And with sad and hollow groaning.
Echoed earth's deep hidden caves:
Where the cries of crushed and dying
Pierced the elemental strife,
Where lay death in sick'ning horror
'Neath the maddened rush of life
Quiet now reigns, sweet and pensive,
All is hushed in dreamless rest,
And tho pitying arms of nature
Hold her heroes on her breast.
Shield them well, oh, tender mother,
Whilo the morn and evening breath
Whispors us, th? sad survivors,
Of their victory, in death.
What though no stately column
Their cherished names may raise.
To dim the eye and move the lip
With gratitude and praise
The blue sky, hung with bannered clouds,
Their solemn dome shall be;
All Heaven's choiring winds shall chant
Tho anthem of thc free.
The spring with vine-clad arms shall clasp
Their hillocked routing places,
And summer roses droop above,
With flushed and dewy faces;
Fairy daisies, rayed and crowned, shall
spring,
Like stars from out their dust.
And look to kindred tatars on high
With eyes of patient trust.
And vainly shall the wilting lips
Assail with envious dart,
Tho fame of our heroic dead,
Whose stronghold is the heart
The nation's heart-not wholly crushed,
Though each throb bc in pain:
For lifo and hops will still survive,
Where love and faith remain.
?
Til's OF THE FASHION.-" They say" \
that one of thc latest fashions with
the lathes is wearing long ends of ?
narrow ribbon around the neck. Few i
of the uninitiated know tho signi- '
ficance of the same. When they
wear the ends hanging in front, it \
means that the lady is married ; the !
right shoulder, that she is engaged ;
down the back, that she has a " fel
1er " coming to see her, but she isn't I
engaged ; over tho. left shoulder, it !
means, "Fellers, come follow ino." I
If she does not wear any, it means
that she is engaged, and don't wish to :
have anything to do with " any other
fellow."

Mr.ssns. HEKRISG A CO.-GENTLEMEN:
Though the destruction of Cue American
Museum hus proved a serious loss to my?
self and the public. I am happy to verify
the old adage, that '"lt's an ill wind that
blows nobody good," and, consequently,
congratulate you that your web known
safes have again demonstrated their supe?
rior lire-proof qualities in an ordeal of un?
usual severity.
The safe yon made for mc some time
ago was in thc office of tho Museum, on
the second floor, back part of the building,
and in the hottest ol'the tire.
After twenty-four hours of trial, it was
found among thc debris, and on opening
it this day has yielded np lt. contents in
very good order -books, pnpers, policies of
insurance, haiik bills, all in condition for
immediate usc, and a noble commentary
on the trustworthiness of Herring'?- fire?
