THE BRAVE OLD PINE
The,oek is fair when skies are blue,
Amine birds of the sir to its branches woe;
The maple s stately trunk loth slow,
And the willow that ever bonded; woe;
But lord of them all In the warm sunshine,
Towers the Ilflng green of tho brave old pine.
Cirwen when the Autumn's shrill windn blow,
trul November sends the many snow ;
amen when maple and willow aro bare,
And the oak's leaves whirled in the piercing
lie shakes to the blast hie fringes free,
(Mean to Lbw but is the brave pint, trot)
Come Wlnter'alme or flummeex tOOM
Come shrieking tempest or peaceful tudeat -
Coup , . altadowe that darken, lights that gleam
On the changing madam of life's Agin tdream,
Keep green, 0 heart, In storm or altlno,
And leaf to the core like the brave old pine
Jefferson Davis at the Battle of
Manaus.
We copy the following from E. A.
Pott.sitn's "Life of Jefferson Davis,"
published in thil Richmond Opinion
* * the morning of the
eventful day, President Davis hail left
Richmond for the field of battle. What
carried him there was never explained ,
it was not—as President Lincoln and
other civil magis trates often did—to
visit a field already decided, and' to re
view or meditate upon it; there• was,
indeed, a carping commentary in Rah.
mond that President Davis should have
been present at Manassas un that day,
and should have left his office at the
Capitol to thrust himself into a wen° of
actual battle, and, perhaps, to interfere
with tht.Confoderate commanders. It
was known only to those very intimate

give battle; he was under no obligation

rods from the cars towards the
sublime sonic in which the battle fool
culminated and broken on the
of evening. A cloud of intokt , nod duet
had lifted from the plain and hung sul
lenly in the sky; there was the distant
clamor of battle ; the strok es of artil
lery, slow and isaiderous, smote ,

field No one could tell loin amid the
roar and confusion As he rode swiftly
through a stream of stragglers, it Seemed
aa if he was in the fludst , of a retreat,
breasting its bad mild dusty current
At that moment his brother, desepli
Davis, galloped to his side l and said,
"The (lay ie lust; let us go no lurther "
"No;" said the President, grandly, "if
the army is defeated, so much the great
err reason that I should be with my brave
men and share ther fate." They were
the words of u kn.rfoniti courage %%Idyll
nothing in his life ever turned or daun
ted ; and they were, perhaps, remem
bered when a distinguished sun f,f Vir
ginia, recently reviewing the leader of
"the Lost Cause," declared briefly that
he was a man who had had many favor
able chances, and who had attainai
greatness only from comparison with a
race of ixditical idginica in Mississippi
and the Southwest, and who, with all
^the advantages of fortune, had but two
virtues—a devoted espousal of his cause
and , !indomitabteislack."
The'seene changes from the grandeur
and tumult of battle. The night has
fallen, and the stars have risen above
the combs of the Blue Ridge, now a
dusky boundary of the Wide plain.
Jackson has gone to his tent, gloomy
and reluctant, muttering, "It is not say
business to advise thet,Commander-in
Chief to pursue." Befdte 'nether tent,
larger and more pretettabous, above

of Ale of our railroad conduetors, who
runs a night train on one of the roads

better for being true, as our informant
avers. A few Sundays ngh he concluded
to gratify his religious propensities by
attending divine service at one of our
city churches. lie soon found himself
in a comfortable pew. Unfortunately
the habit of sleeping in. the day Um%
was hard to overcome, and our werthy
friend fell into a doze. !icing aroused
by the rising ofthe congregation to re
ceive the benediction, and imagining
himself on his train, he sang out, " nem-

The effeet upon the congregation may
be imagined but not described.
