Within the glades of ivy vino
The hunted heroes lay,
And heard beyond the swamp's confine
The dreaded blood-hound's bay.
"Oar time is short," one faint mice said,
"To-day we've done our best,
Ere seeks yon level sun its bed•
Our souls will be at rest:
No mercy know*. the rebel horde,
That swiftly follows on ;
But still I pray to Thee, 0 Lord,
`Thy will, not mine, be done."
"My mother weeps for me to-day," -
Sold one with golden hair;
And long she'll weep, and watch, and pray
For him so young and fair.
Sweet sisters In a northern home
Will watch and wait in vain,
And longing, look for him to come,
They'll never see again.
Too surely, with prophetic words,
The,yetvejnld their death-knell story ;
An hour—ind points of rebel swords
With patriot blood were gory.
Thus died 'neath shades of ivy vine,
In damp and dark morass,
Where noxious plants luxuriant twine
Upon the knotted grass
The heroes of a nobler line
Than Sparta ever bore—
The patriots of that stormy time,
Our world-deciding war.
No monuments above them btand,
The swamp—their only bier;
Their praise—they saved our native land ;
Their epitaph—a tear.
At last—at last—the gods pay well ;
Give to the winds the story,
And let our future annals tell
Of Appomatox's glory.
Yes, peal the hell and bray the horn,
Unloose the dull throat cannon,
And give to kiss of sunlit morn
Our nation's starry pennon.
Rejoice! rejoice! as well ye may,
For victory great and grand ;
Let priest in prayer and poet's lay
Thank God, who saved our land
Yet, comrades in that sacred cause,
Ye dare not to forget
The brave within that datl: morass,
Whose life-blood warm and wet,
That beauteous eve, beneath God's sky,
Was shed by Treason's hand—
The Heroes, who went forth to die
For Freedom pure and grand :
W:st gentle youth, with raven hair,
Beneath the ivy vine,
Who breathed to Thee, 0! God, the prayer,
"Thy will be done, not mine."
Nor yet again that other boy—
(1. man in thoughtlind pain),
Whose blood told out a mother's joy,
Who ne'er will smilo again.
Nor yet alone in Georgian swamps
And darkly dismal glen,
Where died the men, that fled the damps
Of Millen's prison-pen,
Were slain the martyred pioneers
Of Freedom's second birth,
Which yet shall give In future years
New lire to all the earth. •
Those glorious cohorts of the North
Have fed our flews of grain ;
And many, who went gayly forth,
Now sleep on Shiloh's Plain.
And some on Groveton's sunny slopes,
Along the Rapidan,
And In the wilderness the hopes
Of many an aged one.
Then, brothers, let that blood cement
Our hearts and hopes again,
So that we never may lament—
" The dead havo died in vain."

THE REBEL DEAD AT GErryssinao.
To do honor to the dead is our noblest pri
vilege ; sacrilegiously to disturb their dust,
our meanest crime. If the grave of a friend
is a spot where the holiest affections of the
heart are manifested, that of an enemy fur
nishes no pretext for violence. At the one,
the labors of love and marki of reverence
should never cease ; whilst the nobler prompt
ings of our nature ask for the other an hum
ble resting-place and "a little earth for chari
ty." "De mortuia nil nisi bonum," is the
talisman that arrests the course of revenge,
transforming hatred into pity and restraining
the hand stretched over a vanquished foe from
insult and injury.
The American pilgrim strolling over the
peaceful fields of Gettysburg has his attention.
directed to lowly mounds, verdant though
neglected and neared for. Here, in their
seclusion, rest the rebel dead. The Govern
ment they attempted to destroy, and the peo
ple whose peace they threatened with an
archy, must leave them where and as they
fell, with the brier and wild flower to entwine
and protect. The inheritance purchased for
us belonged to them, but they forfeited it.—
A look of pity for their blindness, a throb of
horror at the contemplation of the gal they
wished to reach, and an assurance that, for
the sake of the distant past and the memory
of our common ancestors, the hand that out
rages as well as the one that decorates shall
be withheld, are all that they now deserve—
all that can be given. Some, devoid of every
fine thought and feeling ; others for the grati
fication of an idle curiosity; and still more,
thinking it can be done with impunity, trifle
with these helpless handfuls of dust scattered
here and there, and removed by the sym
pathizing sod from the cruel gaze of men, up
on the very spots on which they died. At
the approach of every such, these dumb
mouths should open and cry,—
*Good *fend, at . Juno' sake forbear
• So dig the dad "named here;
Blamed be he that !maim these donee,
And cnn'd be be that move* my boom,"—
thus insuring quiet for themselves, as it has
for the illastrionS band lying in the peaceful
path& church upon the banks of the Avon.
Let the impious hand, that tears from their
last teStingslaci these harmless remains,
palm and could& what they are and whence
they came. They are the nxmideting rem
nants of a stranger, fallen in a strange land,
far from hotere-and'idtadmirburkd 'where no
loving hand can ever plant ever-greens upon
big grave, -sleeping where the mournful eye
compffer drop upon it the silent tear of af

their sarcophagus, their only mark the ver

choir. The living, for their crimes against
government, should tread the winepress alone,
and humbly bow as Nemesis, in righteous
wrath, comes with the rod of affliction. The
dead have paid the penalty, and If their spirits
were permitted to revisit the earth, and, flit
about the decaying bonds that once confined
them, they might he heard whispering through

VENTURE IN ABYSSINIA
It BOUSTEAD, surgeon in the ekbpusinla
field force, writes from Attegerat to the Field,
describing a days's elephant hunting in that
vicinity :
I have just returned from a day's shooting
in the Bowers, Mountains, about thirteen
miles east of Surroo, and I have made a splen
did bag. No one vt ho ha; not seen it would
believe an elephant capable of scrambling up
the wonderful, almost perpendicular places
they pass with apparent facility. Their track
over the edge of the rocks on the watershed
of many of the hills were positively not more
than twenty-four inches broad, with a sheer
precipice falling eighty or one hundred feet
below. One place had an uninterrupted fall
of upwards of 500 feet into a dark, rocky,
ugly chasm, where sunshine never entered.
I was accompanied only by a Shohoe guide, a
dhoolywallab, and my servant, a soldier of
my regiment.
Well, it was about two o'clock P. M., and
after crossing the fourth range, when I came
in sight of the herd browsing on the prickly
scads and the mimosa on the edge of a very
high hill. I reconnoitered their position
well ; they were five in number—two with
large tusks, one with medium, and two with
out any preceptible. They were huge brutes,
and seemed steadily ascending the hill, and I
decided to go to a spot where they would
meet me within a few yards. By signs and a
smattering of Arabic I made my Shohoe com
panion understand this, and he managed his
duty well. He brought me near_ the herd,
and I then stalked the largest tusker to with
in ten yards, when he preceived me. He
looked at me in a most threatening way, with
his enormous ears erect, and stamped his
foot in anger, when I seat a bullet smashing
through his head, and dropped him instantly.
The rush of the remainder of the herd was
something terrible as they crashed through
the jungle, levelling every thing before them.
One of them passed close to *hue I was,
and I gave him a right and left shot through
the shoulder, both bullets well placed ; but
he kept on, until a third bullet from my, little
Mortimer (Enfield bore) brought him up,
having mashed his shoulder to atoms.—
He new saw where I was, and charged
straight at me, but could not manage to get
up the incline with his fractured leg. My
Shohoe guide had in the meantime crossed the
ravine to look at the dead one, and had taken
a heavy rifle with him. In his delight at see
ing the huge beast down, he commenced a
w ild mar d.urn .rnutati thr Uedy, calling it gall
oat tS of endearing epithets, in the middle of
which his divertisement was suddenly stop
ped by an old bull elephant charging at him
from above, through every obstacle, like a
race-horse. I heard a loud scream for help,
and saw the Shohoe literally flying before the
enraged brute, who was coming at a terrible
pace and gaining on him at every stride. He
came straight towards me for protection,
bringing the elephant down upon me also,
and shrieking, "Abiet, abiet, mundelli !"
("Lord ! master! save me!") he bolted for
life up the narrow path on which I was stand
ing, the elephant rushing after him full charge,
and positively roaring in his rage like a gi
gantic lion, with his trunk elevated in the air.
He (the Shohoe) dished past me, and in do
ing so he hit me a fearful blow accidentally on
the head' with the spare rifle he had with him,
and nearly toppled rue over the precipice
senseless. The blow quite staggered me for
the moment, and I was within five yards of
being crushed to pieces when I planted an
Enfield-iize bullet, also from my double
Mortimer, slick through his brain, and drop
ped him dead within three paces of where I
was standing. He fell over into the ravine
below with an awful crash, carrying away a
tree which he struck in his descent all if it
had been a rotten reed. No sooner bad this
been done than another elephant saw us, and
came tearing down upon us from a different
direction, also carrying down every thing be
fore it and blowing and trumpeting hideously.
I received him at about twenty-five paces
with a heavy ball in the head, very high. It
had no effect ; then gave him the left barrel,
which was a little too low; it staggered him,
and stopped his charge, making him swerve
a little. On looking for my other rifle, I
found the dhoolywallah and the Shohoe had
enough of this; they had scrambled up some
rocks above me, and had taken the rifle there.
They chucked it down, and I caught it in the
air as it fell, and gave the elephant a No. 12
through the shoulder, which disabled him.—
He tried to get up to the path where I was
standing, but tumbled back, and in his rage
commenced smashing to pieces everything in
his way, making fearful noises. It was a
rare sight to witness his wonderful strength ;
he bore down trees of considerable thickness
by sheer strength and weight of body, and
smashed their branches into thousands of at
oms. Every bit of jungle was knocked to
smithereens and trampled to pieces all around
him ; and his vain endeavors to get at us, and
his terrible rage at being foiled, were really
most exciting to witness. He nearly succeed
ed in getting up the inclined to where I was
when I gave him the last bullet I had. His
legs gave way, be staggered back on his
hocks, and then rolled over heavily with a
terrrible groan. I can assure yon I was
thankful when it was all over, and that I was
out of the row so welL"

thousand miles to the Atlantic coast, andthen
to its western elope, whence spreads an al-
most equal expanse to the Pacific shore•—l
am sure that every brea.t swells with a proud
er emotion, which can only find utterance is
the words, "I am 'above all kings—l am an
American citizen !" And as we gaze up, an

floats proudly in the mountain breeze, and
read upon its folds the names of Qrant and
Colfax, I can not, nor can you, forget the
consciousness of a grander swell in that emo
tion of honorable pride—for those names ate
the emblems of still greeter triumphs in the
giant progress of our land and nation. Grant I
In that name is embodied a whole volume in
J. H. B
American history. For, when treason in our
very midst undertook, with fratricidal hand,
to destroy the work of our fathers and the
grand Union which they bequeathed us, the
nations of the world were amazed at the
spectacle. As it by magic, under the sacred
impluse of patriotism, a million of men—
not mercenary soldiery—but American vol
unteers—rose and rushed to the defence of
our imperiled country. After four years of
heroic struggle, vic tory crowned our arms.
And who was the leader of those grand ar
mies; who the mighty captain who thus led
our sons and brothers to final and glorious
triumph ? It was the captain of the age—tire
leader we have chosen—whom we shall ol
row to victory.
The people of this country honor physical
courage, and above all they admire the union
of physical and moral courage—true, gkori
ous patriotism. And they will honor them
selves and the nation by placing In the Chair
of State, as the highest public tribute of hon
or and grateful regard, that hero whose his
tory is the very highest type and example of
American patriotism.
With the name of Grant is associated, u
the legend upon the flag which we have just
flung to the glad and jubilant breeze, that
other name, which, to you, my Mends of the
West, is a treasure, for it is part of yourselvea
and of your history.
Colfax is of the West. His heart, his
mind, his judgment, his ale, have been de
voted to its vast material, social and public
interests.
Amid the onward march of civilization and
enterprise, which are rushing up these slopes
and over this grand mountain range, the
name of Colfax is foremost—aye, in the very
van. As I hear the coming tread of mil
lions of intelligent freemen, amid this peace
ful conquest of nature by art, his name is
sounded among the treasured leaden—the
bold, brave men whose keen foresight and
manhood and courage have in the national
cormcils, though the Government, secured to
the enterprising emigrants the free homestead
and this grand iron highway over which to
enter into this promised land which streches
around us like a new world.
I am sure that the West will respond to the
call, as our leader shall beckon them on to the
certain Republican 'victory of 1868. I am
reminded of one of iks honored members—
my new friend, Mr. Baker, of the Cheyenne
Leader—that one of the greatest agents, the
one without which all else would be in vain,
is the omnipotent and omnipresent press.—
To him I say, all hail to that great power in
American society. With the march of free
dom and progress, with the whistle of the
iron horse comes the printing press—the vig
ilant and all powerful press. Right here, at
the last advancing surge of civilization—and
right abreast with it, I hail the daily presa—
of which fraternity is our Colfax. lam sure
they of the profession will not forget him.
Before we part, through my own, as the
voice of the representatives of New Hamp
shire and Pennsylvania—the White Moun
tains and the Alleghenies send greeting to
the Rocky Mountains the names of Grant
and Colfax ; and these majestic mountain
heights now echo back these talismanic
names, and the people shall re-echo them to
both oceans.
