Song or thc Dead.
Comrades of the silent laud,
Wakoless Bloopers of tho tomb,
Swell the palo aud ghontlv band
Gathered lu the midnight gloom.
Darkness rules tho middle world,
Sleep is on tho sons of light,
Lifo hath not a sail unfurled
'Mid tho shadows of tho night.
Only wo, tho wept and lost;
Only we. the sons of death;
Only wo,' tue sleeping host;
Only we, who draw no breath;
We, the slimy and tho cold;
We, the ghastly and the dread;
We, whom earth nor air can hold;
Only we the night winda tread.
Come from every wearied clime,
Sprung from evory mingled raco,
Living on through endless timo,
Knowing naught of ill to face;
What care wo for war and storm,
Suffering agony and woo?
What heed we tho cares that swarm
Hound tho haughty or tho low?
Honored 'mid tho waking hours,
Mourned with toar and groan and ??gb;
Housed in mansions wreathed with Howers;
Crowned with virtues all a lio;
However black tho lifo before,
Sacred now, rovorod by all:
Who would fly tho shadowy shore
Who would answer life's rocall?
Glory to tho ghostly laud,
Glory to tho pulseless state,
Glory to tho midnight band,
Armed against tho blade of fate.
Earth, and air, and Aro, and light,
Are all slaves, whilo wo aro free;
Lift your voices ou tho night,
They shall cross tho wildest sea.
THE MISER'S HEtft*
CONCLUDED.
"But whatcastlo in tho air, is thoro
about that?"
??Oh, that isn't tho castle."
"Thon what is tho castle?" urged
tito old man playfully.
"Why, simply this," said Walter,
laughing, but yet almost ashamed
to tell it: VThis noon, Mr. Osgood
patted mo on tho shoulder aud said
he-in his playful way-Walter, I'll
soil you all my interest hero for $50,
000."
"Ha, ha," laughed Noah Bremen,
"and you thought ho was in ear?
nest."
"No, no," quickly returned thc
young man, "I did not thiuk that,
though I know that tho other two
partners would bo willing to have me
for au associate."
"But it seems to mo old Osgood
holds his .shave in tho concern at a
high figure."
"Oh no, it is a very low one.
Thoro is olear cajutnl of 8150,000 iu
tho business nt this moment, aud
then think of all tho standing und
good will which goes for nothing."
"Ha, ha, ha," laughed tho old
man again.
Then Walter laughed, and then
they finished their supper.
On the next evening, Walter Adams
carno in and sank down on the sofa
without speaking. He was palo
and agitated, and his eyes had a
vacant wondering look.
"Walter!" cried Agnes, iu a terror,
"what has happened?"
"He's sick," muttered Noah Bre?
men without looking around.
"No, no, not sick," returned thc
young mau, starting up. "But I am
tho victim of a miserable trilling."
"Eh! How so?" asked old Noah
now turning his chair.
"I'll tell you," said Walter, with a
spasmodio effort. "I had somo long
entries to post this ovoning, so i
remained in tho counting room after
tho rest had gone. I was still at
work when Osgood carno in and
placed somo papers on my desk,
saying. as ho did so, hero Walter,
these are yours; and then he went
out. When I finished my work, I
opened tho papers. Tho first was
a sort of inventory of what Osgood
had owned in tho businoss, and loot?
ed up, in square numbers, 019,875.
The next paper was a deed convey?
ing the wholo vast property to me,
and making mo a partner in tho
concern upon equal looting with tho
other two!"
"Well," said tho old man, thump?
ing his foot upon tho carpet, and
keeping time with his hands, "I don't
see anything very bad in that."
"But Ido," replied Walter. "It
is cruel to trille with mo thus."
There was something in Noah's
eye nguiu, but ho managed to get
it out, and thou ho spoke thus:
"Walter Adams, when young men
used to hover about my child, I
believed they were only after my
gold; and I knew that iu most cases
I was correct. I behoved the same
of you. I knew nothing but tho
love of money could underlie human
action. My heart hud becomo hard?
ened by it, and my soul darkened.
But it was for my sweet child to
pour tho warmth and light into my
bosom. It was for her to keep be?
fore mo, tho imago of tho gent?o wife
whom 1 had loved and lost, but
alas! who occupied a placo in that
love second to my gold. It was for
my child to open gradually but surely
founts of feeling which had been for
lifetime closed up. I heard her pray
for me-pray that sho might lovo
me-that she might have help from
God, to love mo; and that was alter
I had refusod to let her be your
wife. I saw her grow pale and sor?
rowful, and still sho prayed God
to help her-help her what? Help
her love her father! I was killing
her and she tried to smile upon me.
One evening, I heard you both talk?
ing in the old hut. My child choso
misery with duty to her father rather
than break that duty in union with
tho man she loved. You prayed that
I might be madopenniless- Stop!
bear me through. You would then
show disinterestedness. I walked
away and pondered. Could it be
that? ? bad found a mau who would
love an old wreck like myself, with?
out money. If it was so, then
that would break the last layer of a
crust from my soul. I determined
to test you. I had gained a glimmer?
ing of light-my heart had begun
to grow warm-I prayed fervently
that I might not bo disappointed.
I went to tho bank and drew out
850,000 in h?ls. That night, my
miserable nut was set on, or it caught,
fire. I shall not olwaj .$ think it was
my candi? did it. But the old shell
burnt down, and room was mado
for a better building. I carno one
with tho wrong trunk, and the other
trunk was bnrnt up. But tho money
wasn't in it. No, no, I had that
safely stuffed in my bosom aud deep
pockets, and all buttoned up, and
tho next day I carried it all back to
tho bank and had it put up with a
few thousand moro which I hadu't
disturbed. And so my experiment
commenced, and I found tho full
sunshine at last. Ayo, Walter, I
found you tho noble, true mau I had
prayed for. You took me into your
homo and loved mo whon you thought
mo penniless, and you took my child
to your bosom for just what God had
mado her.
And now my boy, I've been doing
a bit of work in tho dark. I've paid
Mr. Osgood $50,000 iu cash for his
share in tho business and it is all
yours. And let mo tell you ono
moro thing, my boy; if your two
partners eau raise $50,000 moro to
invest, just tell'm you can put in
fivo and twenty thousand moro at
twelvo hour's notice. Tell'm that
old Noah ain't quito vet ashore! a
heart my boy! como here, Agnes,
como here. Walter: God bless you
both-bless you as you havo blessed
me.
Nobody prctented that they had
motes in tho oyo now, for the occa?
sion of tho weeping was palpable.
A French gentleman, charged with
being a pickpocket, was arrested by
the police, and a number of watches,
chains, purses, Aa, found in his
pockets seemed to confirm tho charge.
An inquiry into tho matter thus ex?
plained it:
"It appeared that ho had that
morning bought a now hat, which,
ho was assured by tho hatter, was thc
last new Euglish fashiou, for an En?
glish 'milord' had had a dozen of
them made expressly. Ces Anglais
sont si bizarres. Tho detective at
once guessed that this 'milord' must
bo no other than tho chief of a band .
of pickpockets, who had these hats '
made for his comrades in order to
distinguish them iu a crowd. 'I seo
it all,' said tho detective, 'ono of
theso light-fingered gentry has mis?
taken you for their comrade, and
being in danger, has passed, accord?
ing to their habit, tho jewels and
purses into your coat pocket.' The
detective was right, for tho next
day the whole of the gang was cap?
tured at the exhibition, tho hut
having offered a clue to their detec?
tion."
Wendell Phillips, writing in favor
of confiscation, for tho benefit of the
freedman, asks:
"Does tho nation call it justice to
turu out such a ono penniless, igno?
rant, naked, to begin tho world?"
Who turned him out "penniless,
ignrant, naked, to begin tho world?"
A new paper will shortly in ak o its
appearance, and most likely its dis?
appearance. It is to bo the organ
of tho hotels and chop-houses, and
will be called tho Fresh ?ggs-ham-iner.
The new French matrimonial bu?
reau warrants its unions happy one
year. Isn't that a pretty high ave?
rage?

GRAND
NATIONAL- ENTERTAINMENT,
For tho Benefit of tho
LADIES' SOCIETY
In Aid of tho
Suffering ind Destitute Poor of the Sootb,
Will take placo
In Washington, D. G., August 1, '67.
THE "Ladies' Society in did of tho Suf?
fering and Dostituto Poor of tho South"
would respect fully and earnestly call tho
attention of tho generous Northern'public
to tho great distress and fearful suffering
now prevailing in tho Southern States.
Letters aro daily received from tho South,
from tho Genor?ls Commanding, Govern?
ors, ministers and eminent citizens, fur?
nishing tho most heart-rending details ni
tho actual want, famine and starvation in
their immediato neighborhood. Tho f d
lowiug few extracts from tho very many
letters received by tho Secretary and Ma?
nagers of thc Society are respectfully re?
ferred to:
H'DQCARTEBS, Int MILITARY DIST.,
(MISSISSIPPI AND ARKANSAS,)
VicKsnruw, Miss., May 1:!, jsr,7.
1 am glad to see that the attention of thc
gentle and humano Indien ol' the North is
being turned towards the .-ad and desolate
condition of this once happy land.
You, Madam, surrounded"w ?th the plenty
and comforts ol' a wealthy city, can scarcely
appreciate thc fact that, in ?nany parts of
tho Mouth, whole communities are, by a
failure in crops and tho absence of money
or its equivalent, left in want of tho neces?
saries of life; and that poor women, with
large families of helpless children, so ac?
customed to depend on tho labor of others,
that now, with no husband, brother or
servant to help, and no money, they do not.
know what to do or where togo for food;
but are left in the solitudes of these South?
ern forests, in rags and gaunt with hunger,
subsisting on what the mother or larger
children eau shoot or pick up in tho woods,
or on what thc few neighbors, nearly as
poor as they are, can bring them.
Officers of my acquaintance have met
with such mothers, long after dark, out in
the woods, with an old gun just tired, and
tho coon or possum just, lolled; haye gene
homo with them mid met tho group of little
starvelings waiting patiently mother's re?
turn with some of tho only sort of food
they had tasted for weeks; and women and
children have been found within sixty miles
of the capital of a Southern .State, during
the past year, who had starved to death in
their lonesome, cabins. Theso cases of
groat distress aro rato in Southern cities,
for there, even tho niost delicately broil can
generally lind some work which they can
do to keep thc wolf from tho door; but the
farms or plantations in tin- South aro pe?
culiarly secluded, with miles ol lorost or
swamp between them, poor roads, and tho
stock and animals nearly all taken by thc
war, tin' famine, the Hoods, or the thieves,
who in such times infest a country, ami the
distressed families are often, by the time
necessity makes them want to leave, too
sick to travel on foot, ami there is nu other
way to go.
Your proposed entertainment, Madam,
should it produce only funds enough to re?
lievo a small fraction of tho destitution of
this country, will be a good beginning, and
maybe followed in other cities North by
similar appeals to pooplowh > have happily
never felt the desolation and thc horrors
w hich follow in the tracks of great armies
of invasion, clod speed your society iii thc
good work, is the wish ol'. Madam, yours
truly, E. O. C. OED,
Brevet Major-General.
HEAUOUARTERS, FIRST MILITARv DIVISION,

Mr*. Ilart?tee Mather-MY DEAN MAUASI:
1 shall J)o too glad il anything 1 can say
will aiif thc society in its noble work. ?
large proportion of Ibo people of the South
have suffered and many are still suffering
almost to the limit of endurance from thc
devastation id' war and subsequent failure
of crops. They are making every possible
exertion to revive their various branches
of industry and become self-supporting.
The liberal assistance which tho Northern
people arc well able to give, will relieve a
great amount of distress, and will no doubt
bo sufficient to place the poor of thc South
beyond further Buffering for food. The
recent manifestations of an almost univer?
sal desire throughout tho South for a really
fraternal re-union with thc North, may well
serve to stimulate the generous sympathies
of the Northern people, while nothing could
do more to foster und encourage the growth
of a healthy sentiment in the South than
tho generous aid which it is tho mission of
your society to invoke I sincerely hope
the noble efforts of tho society may result
in the ino.st abundant, success. I am,dear
Madam, very respectfully, yonr obedient
servant, " J. M. SCHOFIELD,
Major-General.
HEAOQUARTEKS, SEC? ?sn MILITARY DIVISION,

The excellent purpose you have in view
cannot be too much commended. Tho lib?
erality of the Government of tho United
Staten, and thc munificent contributions
aireadv made for tho relief of the wide?
spread destitution in the States, leaves
great number J unprovided with food and
clothing. And until an abundant harvest
enables tho people hero to do more for
themselves, I trust the ever g?nerons and
prosperous commit tees of tho North will
continue their noble gifts to this impover?
ished and afflicted population. With my
best wishes for the success of your under?
taking, J remain, Madam, verv respectful?

GBEESSBono, May 14, 1867
Have just returned from a tour through
tho section made memorable by "Sher?
man's inarch to tho seaboard." "Poverty,
Buffering and destitution of the people can
scarcely be realized-living in huts, rudely
constructed of chancel boards, of nails,
boughs and mud, you ari-met by hollow
eyed, emaciated forms, whoso drst words
are "broad"-for something to stiflo tho
cravings of hunger. In one place, I wit?
nessed tho body of a child homo to its last
rest, on a board, in tho same, rags in which
it died. In another, four females existed
for a w ',ek on two pounds of corn, together
with some roots. On tho road, I met an?
other wdio had walked twelve miles to beg
BOmo food for her children. Manv other
instances can bo giv< u of sad suffering
from actual want of food. Verv trulv,
FBEDEBICE WATTS, M." D.
Tho public have already responded nobly
to tho call, but not to the extent required
to keep starvation from making victims of
many. Additional funds must be raised at
once"; the c iso is urgent. The Lady Ma?
nagers, after mature deliberation, havo
decided to bring it before the generous
people of tho North, by giving a ti rand
National Entertainment, trusting to their
active co-operation and sympathizing aid
for tho immediate supply ot means to en?
able them to purchase and forward food
to starving thousands. Tho Grand Na?
tional Entertainment will bo given at
Washington, D. C., August 1,1867. 300,000
tickets will bo offered for sale, at ?J each.
Every ticket will bo entitled to an award,
which will take placo at the same time.
Half of the amount will be in valuable
awards to the holders, and the balance w ill
be devoted at once by tho Lady Managt rs
to purchasing food to bc sent South for
immediate distribution among the most
needy. The Lady Managers have entered
into an arrangement with Messrs. Rentloy,

Does not such an object commend itself to
