A Confederate Hero.
Tribute to Major F. Gendron Pal
mer, by Mrs. I. M. Porter.
Major Francis Gendron Palmer, of the
Holcombe Legion, a Citadel graduate, of the
class of 1S51, fell mortally wounded at
Second Maoassas. Mies Porter, the daughter
of Judge B. F. Porter, of Alabama, com?
posed this tribute to the soldier.
"DEFEATED VALOR BY MOURKING BEAUTY
CROWNED."
He sleeps upon Virginia's strand,
While comrades of the Legion stand,
With arms reversed-a mournfu! band
Around bis early bier ;
His war-horse paws the shaking ground,
Tbe volley8 fired-they close around,
And, on toe white brow, laurel bound,
Falls many a soldier's tear !
Up, stricken mourner, look on high !
Loud anthems rend the echoing sky,
Reboro. where heroes never die !
Tbe warror finds his rest ;
Gone is the weary, pain-traced frown
Life's march is o'er, bis arms cast down,
His plumes replaced by shining crown,
The red cross on bis breast !
Though Gendron's arm is with the dust,
Let not bis blood-stained weapon rust !
Bequeathed to one who'll bear the trust,
Where Southern banners fly ;
Some brave who followed where be led
Aye, swear him o'er the martyred dead,
To avenge each drop of blood he shed,
Or else like him to die!
He deemed a death for honor sweet ;
And thus be fell ! 'tis doubly meet
Our flag should be bis winding sheet,
Proud colors of the free ;
Ob, let bis honored form be laid,
Beneath tbe loved palmetto's shade,
Bis praises sung by Southern maid,
While flows the broad San tee !
We come around bis urn to twine
Sweet clusters of the jess'mine vine,
Culled, where our tropic sunbeams shine,
From skies deep-dyed and bright ;
We kneeling vow to right tc yield
O?, brothers, on ! and win the field,
Or dead return on battered shield,
As martyrs for the right !
Where camp fires light the reddened sod,
The*grief-bowed Legion kneel to God,
In Palmer's name aad by his blood,
They swell the battle cry :
Will sheath no more our well-tried steel,
Till tyrants Southern vengeance feel,
And Northern borders as suppliants kneei,
To victory, or die !
OFF ALL.
Ail tbe earth is filled with blessing
Which ?o sorrow can destroy,
And for every day of trouble
There shall come a day of joy.
There are moments foll of silver
As tbe8bowers from Heaven which fell,
And the tenderness of loving
Is the Vessing of tnem all
Though the clouds may bang above us,
Somewhere sunlight lingers still ;
And the gold of every moment
Snail surpass tbe moment's ill.
Love and truth are yet immortal,
Loving souls immortal, too ;
And the glory of a jewel
Sparkles in a drop of dew.
Take the dew-drops as God gives them,
Be they moments, be they hours,
So the stream of life which bears you
Shall flow on through banks of flowers.
There are mo ? en ts full of bleising
As the showers from Beaven which fall
But the tenderness of loving,
Is the blessing of them ell.
ONLY A MISTAKE, AFTER ALL.1
And Nothing; for a Respectable Colored
Gentleman to Worry About.
A serious blunder occurred in a West
Virginia county not long ago. A num?
ber of the ?armers had sustained losses
of sheep from their respective flocks,
and, being skeptical as to the efficiency
of the law officers, one night took the
matter in their own hands. A dozen or
more of them proceeded some miles
away, to the house of Rehoboth Jem
son, and, notwithstanding his protesta
-tjons^ of innocence, gave him a severe
drubbing'.
The affair created no little stn-, as
Rehoboth was a very respectable col?
ored man, who owned a snug little farm
and was a deacon in the Baptist church.
He had the confidence and esteem of
his white neighbors, who were so
worked up over the matter that they
considered the expediency of an investi?
gation that should lead to the punish?
ment of the raiding parjy.
Within a few days the farmers discov?
ered they had made an awkward mis?
take, the guilty party having been
caught red-handed and had made a full
confession; so, being in the main a right
good set of fellows they decided to offer
balm to Eehoboth for his many wounds, j
Three of their number were designated !
a committee with full power to act, a?d
they hastened to the discharge of the'ir !
duty. Old Rehoboth was sitting in his j
neat little cabin with bandaged head, j
while his wife was applying a cooling
wash to his lacerated back. The com
mittee looked foolish and scarcely knew
bow to begin; but finally one of the j
number stammered out an apology, and !
added that they were willing to pay a !
reasonable amount as recompense for I
his sufferings.
"La, child. how you does talk, sholy! ?
Ameckin* sich a furse dat I's ershamed
on ye! You jes' git baek ter y er homes
'n* stay dar. I ain" axin' nu mn' 'n* don' ;

on erbout de mistecks er white folkses
I'd jes" be plum' mis able barf de time.*'
