a man who rested his gun on the win
dow-sill while he capped it."
General Ricketts, in reference to his
having been held as one of the hosta
ges for the privateers, states : " I con
sidered it bad treatment to be selected
as a hostage for a privateer, when
was so lame that I could not walk,
and while .my wounds were still open
and unhealed. At this time General
Winder came to see me. Ile had been
an officer in my regiment; I had
known him for twenty odd years.—
It was on the 9th of November that
he came to see me. He saw that my
wounds were still unhealed; he saw
my condition; but that very day he
received an order to select hostages
for the privateers, and, notwithstand
ing he knew my condition, the next
day, Sunday, the 10th of November, I
was selected as one of the hostages."
"I heard," he continues, " of a great
many of our prisoners who had been
bayonetted and shot. 1 saw three of
them—two that had been bayonetted,
and one of them shot. One was named
Louis Francis, of the New York Four
teenth. He had received fourteen bay
onet
wounds—one through his privates
—and he had one wound very much
! like mine, on the knee, in consequence
of which his leg was amputated after
twelve weeks had passed; and I would
state here that in regard to his case,
when it was determined to amputate
,his leg, I heard Dr. Peachy, the rebel
.surgeon, remark to one of his young
assistants, " I won't be greedy; you
;may do it ;" and the young man did it.
I saw a number in my room, many of
Whom had been badly amputated. The
flaps over the stump were drawn too
tight, anti some the bones protruded.
" A man by the name of - Prescott
,(the same referred to in the testimony
of Surgeon Homiston) was amputated
•
twice, and was then, I think, moved
to Richmond before the taps were heal
,ed. Prescott died under this treat
ment. I heard a rebel doctor on the
steps below my room say, " that he
'wished he could take out the hearts of
the d—d Yankees as easily as he
'could take off their legs." Some of the
•Southern gentlemen treated me very
handsomely. Wade Hampton, who
was opposed to my battery, came to
see mo and behaved like a generous
enemy."
It appears, as a part of the history
of this rebellion, that Lien. Ricketts
was visited by his wife, who, having
first heard that, he was killed in battle.
afterwards that he was :dive but wound
ed, travelled under great difficulties to
_Manassas to see her husband. He says:
" She had almost to fight her way
through, but succeeded finally in reach
ing me on the fourth day after the bat
tle. There were eight persons in the
Lewis House, at Manassas. in the room
where I lay, and my wife, for two
weeks, slept in that room, on the floor
by my side, without a bed. When we
got to Richmond there were six of us
yin •a azoom,ll.l/ICMg them Col. Wilcox,
Who remained with us until he eras ta
ken to Charleston. There we were all
in one room. There was no door to it.
It was much as it would be here i f you
'should take off the doors of the edllt
mittec-room, and then fill the passgte
with wounded soldiers. In the hot
:summer months the stench from their
wounds, and from the utensils they
used, was fearful. There was no pri
vacy at all, because, there being no
.door, the room could not be closed. We
were there as a common show, Col.
Wilcox and myself were objects of in
terest, and were gazed upon as if we
wore a couple of savages. The people
:would , come in there and say all sorts
of things to us and about, us, until I
was obliged to tell them that. 1 was a
:prisoner, and had nothing to say. On
inir way to Richmond, when we reach
•cd4Gordonsville, many women crowded
around the cars, and asked my wife if
:she cooked, if she washed, how she
got there. Finally, Mrs. Ricketts ap
pealed to the officer in charge, and told
him that it was not the intention that
we should be subjected to the treat
ment, and if it was continued she would
make it known to the authorities.
Gen. Johnson took my wife's carriage
:nut horses at Manassas, kept them,
and has them yet for aught I know.
When I got to Richmond, I spoke to
several gentlemen about this, and so
did Mrs. Ricketts. They said, ofeourso,
the carriage and horses should be re
turned; but they never were. " There
is one debt," says this gallant soldier,
"that I desire very much to pay, and
;tailing troubles me so much now as
the fact that my wounds prevent me
from entering upon active service at
<Mee."
The case of Louis Francis, who was
terribly wounded and maltreated, and
lost a leg, is referred to by General
!Ricketts; but the testimony of Francis
!himself is startling. He was a private
in the New York Fourteenth regiment.
He says: "I was attacked by two rob-
el soldiers, and wounded in the right
knee with a bayonet. As I lay on the
sod they kept bayonetting me until
received fourteen woundss. One then
left me, the other muainlng over Me,
Avhey3..a Union soldier coining up, shot
- him in the breast, and he fell dead. I
lay on tlic gt•Ottra Itniit 10 o'clock next
flay.' • I. was then removed in a wagon
'to'a building; my wounds examined
hiul partially dressed.
• On the Saturday following we were
carried to Manassas, and from there
-:..o.the genera' hospital at Richmond.
t?ly leg having partially mortified, I
onSented tb itsbould be amputated,
%;bich operation wasparformed -by a
young man. I insisted that they
:should allow Di Swaim to be present,
:for I wanted one' - Union map there if I
died under the operation. ' he tithes
'and the band slipped from neglect, and
tbe bone protruded ; and about two
VeAt'ailtr another operation was per
formed;"at which time another piece
, iof the thigh bone was sawed off. Six
weeks after the amputation, and be
fore it healed, I was removed to the
tobacco-factory.
Two operators were subsequently
.performed on Francis—one at Fortress
Monroe, and one at Brooklyn, New
York—after his release from captivity.
Revolting as these disclosures are, it
was when the committee came to ex
amine witnesses in reference to the
treatment of our heroic dead that the
Acudishnirit of the rebel leaders was
most prominently , exhibited, Danjel

on account of some peculiarity in the
make, tbr they had been made by his
mother; and, in order to identify them,
other clothes made by her were taken,
that they might compare them.
" We found no head in the glare,
and no bones of any kind—nothing
but the clothes and portions of the
flesh. We found the remains of three
other bodies all together. The clothes
were there; some flesh was left, but no
bones." The witness also states that
Mrs. Pierce Butler, who lives near the
place, said that she had seen the rebels
boiling portions of the bodies of our
dead in order to obtain their bones as
relics. They could not wait for there
to decay. She said that she had seen
drumsticks outdo of " Yankee shin
bones," as they called them. Mrs. But
ler also stated that she had seen a skull
that one of the New Orleans artillery
' had, which, he said, he was going to
send home and have mounted and that
he intended to drink a brandy punch
out of it the day he was married.
Frederick Seholcs, of the city of
Brooklyn. New York, testified that he
proceeded to the battle-field of Bull
Run on the fourth of this month (April)
to find the place where he supposed
his brother's body was buried. Mr.
&holes, who is a man of unquestioned
eharaeter, by his testimony filly con
firms the statements of other witnesses.
lie met a free negro, named Simon or
Simons, who stated that it was a com
mon thing for the rebel soldiers to ex
hibit the bones of the Yankees. "I
found," he says, "in the bushes in the
neighborhood, a part of a Zonave uni
form, with the sleeve sticking out of
the grave, and a portion of the panta
loons, Attempting to pull It up, 1 saw
the two ends of the grave were still
unopened, but the middle had been
prised up. pulling up the extremities of
the unitbrin at some places, the sleeves
of the shirt ill another, and a portion
of the pantaloons. lie Swaltn ((moot'
the surgeons, whose testimony has al
ready been referred to) pointed out
the trenches where the Secessionists
had buried their own dead, and, on
examination, it appeared that their re
mains had not been disturbed at all.
Mr. Scholes met a free negro, named
Hampton, who resided near the place,
and when be told him the manner in
which these bodies bad been dug up,
he said he knew it had been done, and
added that the rebels had commenced
digging bodies two or three days after
they were buried, for the purpose, at
first, of obtaining the buttons off their
uniforms, and that afterwards they
disinterred them to get their bones.
He said they had taken rails and push
ed the ends down 'in the centre under
the middle of the bodies, and prised
them up.
" The information of the negroes of
Benjamin Franklin Lewis corrobora
ted fully the statement of this man,
Hampton. They said that a good
many of the bodies had been stripped
naked on the field before they were
buried, and that some were buried
naked. I went to Mr. Lewis house
and spoke to hint of the manner in
which these bodies had been disinter

condemned principally Ilse Louisi
ana Tigers, of lien. Wheat's division.
He admitted that oar wounded had
been very badly treated." In confir
mation or the testimony of Dr. Swalm
and Dr Homiston, this witness avers
that Mr. Lewis mentioned a number
of instances of men who had been
murdered by bail surgical treatment.
Mr. Lewis was afraid that a pesti
lence would break out in consequence
of the dead being left unburied, and
stated that he had gone and warned
the neighborhood and had the dead
buried, sending his own men to assist
in doing so. `" On Sunday morning
(yesterday), I went out in search of
in brother's grave. We found the
trench and dug for the bodies below.
They were eighteen inches to two feet
below the surthee, and had been hustled
in in any way. In one end of the
trench, we found, not more than two
or three inches below the surface, the
thighbone of a man which had evi
dently been dug up after the burial.
At the other end of the trench, we
found the shinbone of a man, which
had been struck by a musket ball and
split. The bodies at the ends had been
pried up.
' While digging there, a party of
soldiers came along and showed us it
part of a shinbone, five or six inches
long, which had the end sawed of
They said they had found it, among
many other pieces, in one of the cabins
the rebels had deserted. From the ap
pearance of it, pieces had been sawed
off to make finger-rings. As soon as
the negroes noticed this, they said that
the rebels had rings madoof the bones
of our dead, and that they had them
for sale in their camps. When Dr.
Swaim saw the bone, he said it was a
part of the shinbone of a man. The
soldiers represented that there were
lots of these bones scattered through
the rebel huts sawed into rings," &e.
gr. liewlB 'and hlS , negrees all spoke of
Col. 'James Cameron's body, and knew
that "it had been stripped, and also
where it had been buried.' Mr. Seholes,
in answer to a question of one of the
committee,deseribed the different treat
ment extended to the Union soldiers
and the rebel dead- The talker bad
little headboards placed at the head of
their respective graves and marked;
none of them. had the appearance of
having been disturbed.
The evidence of that distinguished
and patriotic citizen, lion. William
- Sprague, Governor of the State of
Rhode Island, confirms and fortifies
some of the most revolting statements
of former witnesses. Ilis object in
Visiting the battle-held was to recover
the bodies of Colonel ~f,iloann and Ma
jor Balton, of the Rhode nand regi
ment. Ile took out with him several
of his own men to identify the graves.
On reaching the place ho states that
" we commenced digging for the bodies
of Colonel Slocum and Major Balton
at , the spot pointed out to us by these
j men who had been in the action.
"While digging, some negro women
came up anti aslced whom we were
looking for, and at 'the satvetime said
that 'Colonel Slogan' had been dug up
by the rebels, by some mon of Geor
gia regiment, his head cut off, and his
body taken to a ravine thirty or forty
yards below, and there burned. Wo
stoppe'd digging and went to the spot
designated, Where we found coals and
ashes and bones mingled together. A
little distance from there we found h
shirt (aill buttoned at the neck), and
soblankeli with large quantities-of
up6n tit, everything indicating- rthe
burning of a body there. We returned
and duo- down at the spot indicated as
the grave of Major Fallon, but found
no body there; but at the place point
ed out as the gra \'U . when Col. Slocum
was buried, we hutritl a box, which,
upon being, raised and opened, was
found to con lain the 1)ody of Cu!. Slo
cum. The soldiers who had buried the
two bodies were satisfied that the grave
which had been opened, the body taken
out, beheaded and burned, was that of
Major Ballou, because it was not in
the spot where Col. Slocum was buried,
but rather to the, right of it. They at
once said that the rebels had made a
mistake, and had taken the body of
! Major Ballow for that of Col. Slocum.
The shirt, found near the 'lace where
the body was burned I recognized as
one belonging to Major Balton, as I had
been very intimate with him. We
gathered up the ashes containing the
portion of his remains that, were left.
and put them in a coffin, together with
his shirt and the blanket with the hair
left upon it. After we had done this
we - went to that portion of the field
where the battle had first commenced,
and began to dig foe the remains of
Captain Tower. We brought a soldier
with us to designate the place where
he was buried. Ile had been wounded
in the battle, and had seen front the
window of the house where the Cap
tain was intetvd. On opening the
ditch or trench, we found it filled with
sobliers, all buried with their titres
downward. On taking up some four
or five, we discovered the remains of
Captain Tower, mingled with those of
the men. WO took them, placed them
in a eolith, and brought them home."
In reply to a question of a member
of the 4 eommiltee, as to whether he
was satisfied that they were buried in
tentionally with their faces downward,
Cov. Sprague's answer was, "Undoubt
edly! Beyond all controversy t" and
that "it was done as a :nark of indig
nity." In answer to another question
as to what their object could have been,
especially in regard to the body of Col.
Slocum, he replied, "Sheer brutality,
and nothing else. They did it on ac
count of his courage and chivalry, in
forcing his regiment, fearlessly and
bravely, upon them. He destroyed
about ono half of that Georgia regi
ment, which was made up of their best
citizens." When the inquiry was put
whether he thought these barbarities
were committed by that regiment, he
responded, "By that same regiment,
as I was told." While their own dead
were buried with marble head and foot
stones, and names upon them, ours
were buried, its I have stated, in trench
es. This eminent witness concludes
his testimon3- as follows : "I have pub-.
fished an order to my second regiment,
to which these officers were attached,
that I shall not be satisfied with what
they shall do, unless they give an ac
count of 0110 rebel killed for each of
their own number."
The members of your committee
might content themselves by leaving
this testimony to the Senate and the
people without a - word of comment;
hut when the enemies of a just and
generous Government, are attempting
to excite the sympathy of disloyal
Men in our own country, mid to solicit
the aid of tbreign Governments by the
grossest misrepresentations .of the ob
jects of the war and of the conduct of
the officers and soldiers of the Repub
lic, this, the most shu•lling evidence of
their insincetity and inlitonanity, de-
SMITS some notice at our hands.
History kill be examined in vain for
a parallel to this rebellion against a
good Government. Long prepared for
by ambitious men, who were made
doubly confident of success by the aid
and counsel of former Administrations,
and by the belief that their plans were
unobserved by a magnanimous people
they precipitated the war at a
moment when On: General Adininis
iratiou had just been changed, under
circumstances of astounding perfidy.
Without a sinrde reasonable ground of
complaint, and in the thee of repeated
manifestationsof moderation and peace
on the part of the President and, his
friends, they took up arms and de
clared that they would never surren
der until their rebellion had been rec
ognized, or the institutions established
by our forefathers had been destroyed.
The people of the loyal States, at last
convinced that they could preserve
their liberties only by an appeal to the
God of battles, rushed to the standard
of the Republic in response to the call
of the Chief Magistrate.
Every step of this monstrous treason
has been marked by violence and crime.
No transgression has been too great
and no wrong too startling for its
leaders. They disregarded the sancti
ty of' the oaths they had taken to sup
port the Constitution; they repudiated
all their obligations to the people of
the free States; they deceived and be
trayed their own fellow-Citizens, and
crowded their armies with forced levies;
they drove from their midst all who
would hot yield to their despotism, or
filled theirprisons with men who would
not enlist under their flag. They have
now ,crowned the rebellion by the per
petratlon of deeds scarcely known
even to savage warfare.
The investigations of your commit
tee have established this fret beyond
controversy. The witnesses called be
fore us were men of undoubted vera
city and character. Some of them oc
cupy high positions in the army, and
others high positions in civil life. Dif
fering in political sentiments, their cv
idenee presents a remarkable concur
rence of opinion and of judgment.
Our fellow-countrymen heretofore
sufficientlyimpressed by the generosi
ty and forbearance of the Government
of the United States, and the barbar
ous character of tho crusade against.
it, will be shocked by the statements
of these unimpeached and unimpeach
able witnesses, and foreign nations
must, with one accord, however they
have hesitated heretofore, consign to
lasting - odium the authors of crimes
which, in,all their details, exceed the
worst o.Vecs.ses of the Sepoys of India.
Inhumanity to the liOng has been
the leading trait of the robe l leaders,
but it was reserved likyour committee
to disclose, as a concerted system, their
insults to the wounded, and their mu
tilation and desecration of the gallant
dead: Our soldiers taken prisoners in
honorable battle have been subjected
to the most shameful treatmdut.
All the considerations that i . nspiro
,ehivalrin emotions and gcnokons eon
sideratidn-Am, bravo inch ttatTo been
disregarded. Iris almost beyond
that the men lighting' in 'snOta
camo as ntirS, atntanstained 11- a Gov
ernment which In thomidst of violCnce
and I reachery tds giveM,repeated evi
deuces of its indulgence, should have
been subjected tO treatment never be
fore resorted to by one foreign nation
in a conflict with another. All the
courtesies of professional and civil life
seem to have been discarded.
Gen. Beau himself, who, on a
very recent occasion, boasted that he
had been controlled by humane feel
hugs, after the battle of Bull RUB, cool
ly proposed to hold Gen. Ricketts as a
hostage for one of the murderous pri
vateers, and the rebel surge Ons dis
dained intercourse and communication
with our own surgeons, taken in hon
orable battle. The outrages upon the
dead will revive the recollection of the
cruelties to which savage tribes sub
ject their prisoners. They were buried
in many cases naked, with their litees
downward. They were left to decay
in the open air, their bones carried off
as trophies, sometimes, as the testimo
ny proves, to be used as personal
adornments, and one witness deliber
ately avers that the head of one of our
most gallant officers was cut off by a
Secessionist, to be turned into a drink
ing cup on the occasion of his marri
age. Jl onstrous as this revelation may
appeal' to he, your committee have
been informed that during the last two
weeks the skull of a Union soldier has
been exhibited in the office or the scr
geant,-at-arms of the House of Repre
sentatives, which had been converted
to such a purpose, and which hail beer;
found on the person of one of the reb
el prisoners taken in a recent conflict.
The testimony of Gov. Sprague, of
Rhode Island, is most interesting. It
confirms the worst reports against the
rebel soldiers, and conclusively proves
that the body of one of the bravest of
in the volunteer service was
burned. Ire does not hesitate to add
that this hyena desecration of tho hon
ored corpse was because the rebels be
lieved it to , he the body of Col. Slocum,
against whom they were infuriated for
having displayed so much courage and
chivalry in forcing his regiment fear
lessly and bravely upon them. These
disclosures, establishing, as they incon
testably do, the consistent inhumanity
of the rebel leaders, will be read with
sorrow and indignation by the people
of the loyal States. They should in
spire these people to renewed exer
tions to protect our country from the
restoration to power of such men.—
They should, and we believe they will,
arouse the disgust and horror of for
eign nations against this unholy rebel
lion.
Ley it be ours to furnish, neverthe
less, a continued contrast to such bar
barities and crimes. Let us persevere
in the good ArOrk of maintaining the
authority of the Constitution, and of
refusing to imitate the monstrous prac
tices we have been called upon to in
vestigate.
Your committee beg to say, in con
clusion, that they have not yet been
enabled to gather testimony in regard
to the additional inquiry suggested by
the resolution of the Senate, whether
Indian savages have been employed
by the rebels in military service against
the Government of the United States,
and how seeb •),-nyfltre has been con
ducted by the said savages, but that
they have taken the proper steps to
,attend to this important duty.

Correspondence Between Corn. Parra
gut and the Mayor of New Orleans.
WASHINGTON, May I.—The following
correspondence is taken from the Rich
mond Enquirer . of yesterday, which
city it reached by telegraph. The pa
per was received by the R e ar Depart
ment to-day. The correspondence is
between the mayor of the city of New
Orleans and Commodore Farragot, the
commanding officer of the. United
States flag-ship Hartford, off New Or-
Jeans, April 261.1?, 1862:
To his Excellency the Mayor of the City
of New Orleans.
Sit: Upon my arrival before your
city, I had the honor to send to your
honor Captain Bally, United States
navy, second in command of the ex
pedition, to demand of you the sur
render of New Orleans to me, as the
representative of the Government of
the United Slates.
Captain I3aily reported the result of
an interview with yourself and the mil
itary authorities. It must occur to
your honor• that it is not within the
province of a naval officer to assume
the duties of a military commandant.
I came here to reduce New Orleans to
obedience to the laws, and to vindicate
the offended majesty of the Govern
ment of the United States. The rights
of persons and property shall be se
cured. I therefore demand of you as
its representative, the unqualified sur
render of the city, and that the em
blem of sovereignty of the United
States be hoisted over the City Hall,
Mint, and Custom House by meridian
this day. All flags and other emblems
of sovereignty other than those of the
United States to be removed from all
the public buildings by that hour. I
particularly request that you shall ex
ercise your authority to quell disturb
ances, restore order, and call upon all
the good people of New Orleans to re
turn at once to their vocations; and I
particularly demand that no person
shall be molested in person or properly
for professing, sentiments of loyalty to
their Government.
I shall speedily anti severely punish
any person or persons who shall coin
mit such outrages Ais•,vero witnessed
yesterday, by armed men firing upon
helpless women and children for giving
expression to their pleasure at witnessing
the old flag.
I am, very respectfully your obedi
ent servant, D. G. FARRAGUT,
Flag-Officer Western Gulf Squadron.
The following is the reply of the
Mayor of New Orleans:
Flag-Officer D. 0. Farragatt, United
States flag-ship Hartford:
CITY lIALL, April 26,1862.
Sin: In pursuance of a resolution
which we thought proper to take out
of regard for the lives of the women
and children who still crowd the great
metropolis, Gen. Lovell has evacuated
it with his troops, and restored back
to mc the administration of its gov
ernment and the custody. c)Gts honor.
I have, in cotins'erl . with the' city 'fath
ers, considered the detaand you made
of me yesterday of an unconditional
surrender of the eity; 'coupled with
rogniaition to hoist 'the' 'flag of the
'United , States on the pkilsfe ;edifices,
and haul down the flag thatikUl floats
brepl , te:froM the lora r :of this
hall. it ilueomes my 114Ysto trkf t onit
to yof , ' an which is the un;v,:,,r_
sal sentiment of my 'constituents no
less than the "prompting of my own
heart dictates mo on this sad and sol
emn occasion.
The city is without the means of de
fence, and is utterly deStitute of the
'force and material that might enable it
to resist an overpowering armament
displayed in sight of it. lam no mil
itary man, and possess no anthbrity
beyond that of exeenting the municipal
laws of the city of New Orleans. IL
would be presumptuous in me to at
tempt to lead awarnly to the field if I
had one at command, and I know still
less how to, surrender fin undefended
place, held as this is, at the mercy of
your gunners and your mortars. To ,
surrender such a place were en idle
and unmeaning ceremony. The city
is yours by the power of brutal forco,
not by my choice or the consent of its
inhabitants. It is for you to deter
mine what will be the fhte,that awaits
us hero.
As to hoisting any flag not of our
adoption and allegiance, let me say to
you, that
,the man lives not, in our
midst whose hand and heart would not
be paralyzed at the mere thought of
such an act, nor could I fluid in my en
tire constituency so wretched and des
perate a renegade as would dare to
profane with his hand the sacred em
blem of our aspirations.
Sir, you have manifested sentiments
which would become one engaged in a
better cause than that to which you
have devoted your sword. I doubt
not but that they spring from a noble,
though deluded, nature, and I know
how to appreciate the emotions which
inspire them. You have a gallant peo
plc to administrate during your occu
pancy of this city—a people sensitive
to all that can in the least affect their
dignity and self-respect. Pray, sir, do
not fail to regard their susceptibilities.
The obligations which I shall assume
in their name shall be religiously com
plied with. You may trust their hon
or, though you might not counton their
submission to unmerited wrong.
In conclusion, I beg you to under
stand that the people of New Orleans,
while unable to resist your force, do
not allow themselves to be insulted to
the interference of such as have ren
dered themselves odious and contemp
tible by their dastardly desertion of
our cause in the mighty 'struggle it
which we are engaged, or such as might
remind them too powerfully that they
are the conquered, and you the con
querors. Peace and order may be pre
served without resort to measures which
I could not at this moment prevent.
Your occupying the city does not
transfer their allegiance from the Gov
ernment of their choice to ono which
they have Aellberately repudiated.
They yield the obedience which the
conqueror is entitled to extort from the
conquered. Respectfully,
JOIIN P. MoNuon, Mayor.
DIED,
In this place on the Ist inst.ofter
short but severe illness, JOHN DANiEr.
P., son of David . and Mary I.Virove,
aged 4 years, 7 months and 14 Aays.
A few days ago, happy and joyous; the
hope of fond parents, the joy of a household,
beloved and esteemed by all who knew him.
Now, alas! cold in death, decked in the ha
biliments of the grave, and consigned to the
"narrow home." Another little voice is
hushed on earth; ifs childish prattle will no
more gladden the hearts of loving parents,
or soothe the lonely hours of solitude. Those
little feet, early tired in life's rough path
way, and that little form has lain down in
its saint-like slumber, leaving darkness and
gloom to brood over a thrice stricken house
hold. But, such is life, and such the mingled
cup of joy and sorrow we are called to taste
here below. Another lamb is added to the
fold of the great Shepherd, and we know
that lie doeth all things well.
" In grief and tears we now have given
This star to gild yon azure dome—
Nor dare we call it hack from heaven,
To gild the darkness of our borne." M.
