A Famous Southom Soldier's Song. One of U?e most beautiful song's of the Southern Confederacy never found its way into print, although it wivs one of the most popular songs of t/he Civil war. This song was written by an Alabamian, Lieutenant Harrington. .Although quite popular in the south during the days of the war the song is now almost forgotten, Sive perhaps by a very few of the Confederate soldiers. During those day-' of the war the song was sung ( by the soldiers of the Confederacy about the camp fires and on the march ougihout" the ;^>uth and 1 soon became a popular song of those days. This song was called "The . Homespun Dress." The Homespun Dress. Oh, yes, 1 am a Southern girl, And glory in the name; I boast of it with greater pride | Than glittering wealth or fame; ^ I envy not' the Northern girl, iller robes of beauty rare, Though diamonds deck her snowy neck I And pearls bestul her hair. V Chorus. 1 < Hurrah, hurrah! " For the Sunny South, so dear! Three cheers for the homespun dress The Southern ladies wear! Now Northern goods are out of date; And, since o'id Abe's blockade, We Southern girls can be content With goods that's Southern made. We send our sweethearts to the war, But girls, ne'er do you mind? Your soldier love will not forget The gir' he left behind. The Southern land's a glorious land, And has a glorious cause; Then cheer, three cheers for Southern rights And for the Southern boys! We scorn In wear a bit of silk, A bit mI Northern lace, I>ut make mir homespun dresses up, And wear them with a grace. And, now young man, a word to you, If you would win the fair, (}o to the field where honor calis And win your lady there; Remember I hat our brightest smiles Are for the true and brave, And that our tears are all for those Who fill the soldier's grave. While Morgan's army was in Ix?xingt'on, Ky., the women of that city gave a ball on night in honor of Morgan's men. On this occasion, it is said, the women appeared in homespun dresses. Lieutenant Harrington, of Alabama, who was a member of Morgan's army, and who attend- j ed the ball, was so deeply affected by | ' the flower of Kentucky's young womanhood appearing at a bail gowned in home spun dresses, that he wrote the words to the song, "The Homespun Press." Durinir the evening the young lieutenant met at the ball a Miss Marie, and during those few hours there grew an attachment between the two that was more than friendship. Miss Karle was an accomplished musician, and improvised an air for i the the young lieutenant's song-poem ' and played and sang it on the piano during the evening. It is said that all the men of Morgan's command a soon learned the words and the air \ and often sang "The Homespun ( jpeess,'' ' \Lieutenant Harrington was killed in \ the battle of Pcrryville, October 8, 1802, only a few days after the , 'bail') in Lexington, Ky., where he ^ wroti* the words to the song, and ^ where) he met Miss Earle. Miss Earlc j died o'nly a few years* ago. She nev er married. She kept the manuscript ; copy of the song, jivat as it was written by Lieutenant Harrington, all her lifetime, and it is said that she prized it most highly. ?'Mobile Item.
