Songs of War Days.
A siate of warfare has always prorcd
conducive to song. Tho flottrlshlnir con
dition nf minstrelsy In ncca past was due
largely to tbe warlike and adventurous
spirit ot the times. During the civil war
I10 h sides were prolific in song making.
I The South made the Orst great hit with
uanaaii s ".Maryland, aij Maryland." The
"Uoutile Blue Fla?" was the Southern na
tional air, and was to the boys In gray
what "Yankee Doodle" was to the boys In
blue. The Southern women ardently took
it up, and through every city rang the
chotus:
llunalit Hurrah! for .Southern rights of war,
Hurrah! for the Ilonnle Blue FUgthat bears the
single star.
Of the sentimental songs of the war peri
od tbe most popular were "Fairy Bell,"
"Annie of the Dell," "Just Before the
Battle, Mother," "Toll the Bejl'for Lovely
'ell"and " When This Cruel War Is Oyer."
In the North. "Walt for the Wagon," and
"Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys are
Marching" had a great success during the
-same period, and the others that ran riot
through camuand fireside were "Mary
Wane," "Old Cabin Home," "Fair, Fair,
with Golden Hair" and "Daisy Dean."
IKho has forgotten "Daisy Dean" and Its
wistful chorus:
None knew thee but to lore the.
Thou dear.one of my heart.
Thy moinory Is ever fresh aad sreen;
The wild-flowers may wither
And fond hearts be broken,
Still I love thee, ray darling Daisy I)en.
A beautiful song,truly pathetic, obtained
great popularity In both North and South
during the war. This was Florence Per
cy's "Bock Me ta Sleep. Mother."
The South produced two war songs thst
evince gcnulno poetic talent, and have been
accorded unstinted praise by the critics
I bey art the "Conquered Banner" and
"All Quiet Along the Votoiuac Tc-nieht."
the first named by Father Kyan and the
last by Lamar Fottntsine. One of the most
pathetic poems that appeared durinit the
var was "Somebody's Dsrllni." It ran
like this:
Into the ward ot the white-washed halls
Where the dead and the dylnc lay.
Wounded by bayonets, shells and balls,
Somcbodi's durllnn was borno one day.
Somebody's dailing so young and brave,
Wearing yet on his sweet pale face
Thellugerlng light of his boyhood's grace.
Matted and damp are tho curls of gold.
Kissing the snow from that fair young brow.
Pale are the Hps of delicate mould
Somebody's darling is dying naw.
Back from his beautiful bluevelned brow
Brush his wandering waves of cold.
Cross his hands on his bosom now
Somebody's darling isstllland cold.
Kiss him oiice for somebody's sake,
Murmur a prayer soft and low.
One bi lulit curl from Its fair mates tako,
nicy were somebody's pride, you know.
Somebody's hand lias rested there;
as it a mother's soft and white.
Or havo the lips of a slsterfalr
Been baptized In' their waves of light?
The circus clown was the great pro
mulgator of popular music during and iust
after the war. He was then in the full
blaze of his glory. Since then the blare
has degenerated 4o a spark, and that Is
threatening to go out. But twenty years
sgo he was the biggest attraction In the
ring, and his songs sold like sham in a
wildcat mining scheme.
A Little War Sketch.
TOLD BT St. QUAD.
One night, when bis stomach had re
belled at the coarse fare of the poorhouse
table, and be had been cursed and sneered
at and told that it was too good fcr hlm.he
sat by tbn open window and looked out in
to tho darkness. His wounds rained and
bis heart ached, but not for long. The ra 1
tat I tat I of the drum suddenly came to his
ears, and through the gloom of the nlgbt
he caught sight of a waving flag and march
ing men. It was a company matching
away to the war. New life came to his
blood new strength to his limbs. Ue
looked more closely, and he saw that be
himself marched in the ranks and waved
his cap In response to the cheers of tbe
populace.
The vision changed. There was the
rattle of musketry and the boom of canon,
and a battle was on. He saw regiment af
ter regiment advance, halt, oblique to tbe
right or left. Batteries galloped here and
there,, bodies of cavalry thundered along
with banners and guidons hidden in the
smoke. His own reslment moved forward
to the edge of the woods, and directly there
was a blaze of fire all 'along its front. It
was advancing again, the men were cheer
ing, when darkness suddenly cam to him.
He had been wounded. In his vision be
saw the hospital to which ha was borne,
heard the groans of the wounded, caught
the whispered words of a surgeon; '
"Very seriously wounded, but I hope we
may save him."
Tbe vision changed, and the roar and
crash of Antietam came to his ears. IT
was a corporal then. It'hen the smoke
cleared away he looked down at his sleeve
aud It bore the stripes of a sergeant.. There
was silence for a time, broken only by the
wind rustling among the apple tiees and
whirling away the dead and dying leaves.
Then came a crash and din as if the earth
was broken up. It was the guns on Fal
mouth Ulghts bombarding Fredericksburg.
When tbelr roar died away he crossed the
historic river he pushed up the narrow
streets be faced the deadly stonu wall at
tbe foot of Mary's Hill. Nlgbt came .(6
him again. Another bullet had plowed Its
way into his flesh,
Again the roar and din of battle came to
him. It was terrific crash at Gettysburg.
His sleeves now bore tbe Insignia of an or
derly sergeant, and as he looked up and
down the lines of his company be was
amazed to see how few men were Uft biro,
and how btonzed and. old tbelr faces looked.
The earth shook as It earthquakes were
battling. Death laughed at prospect of
such a harvest, men were no longer mtn,
but demons. Tbe crash died awsyrand
there came the vengeful crack! of mus
ketry. Right Into tbe flame of lire ad
vanced tbe sergeant, waving his cap to
chetr his men, but It was no (or long.

A Shot and a Thrust.
BT AN "KX-ltRHKU"
When we came to throw out picket In
front of our lines on the nlitht after dealing
the Federal army the hard blow at second
Manassas, we were right among the dead
and wounded. We had won a victory, and
tbe bulk of the Federal army was making
for the rototnac.but thete was a rearguard
which fought sullenly and with a thirst for
vengeance, and along tho front from of my
division the blue coats were alert and ready
for any night attack. It was about nine
o'clock In the evening when my company
was pushed out, and to get the place as
signed us we had to crawl on our hands and
knees for the last two hundred feet. H'hcn
I finally got settled In place It was at the
base ofa shade or fruit tree standing alone
in an open field. A ball or shell had struck
tbe trunk of the tree and cut It in two, and
a portion of the top lay on the ground
The Federal picket, as I presently ascer
talced, was about fifty steps distant from
me and had the cover of a heap of rails.
did not locato him until he fired upon me,
I do not think he knew of my preaencc.but
rather mistrusted it and blazed away to
draw me out.
Thcro were dead and wounded all snout
the tree. I had crept over two dead bodies,
and two wounded men had begged me for
water, and although the evening was very
dusky, I could count at least ten bodies on
my side of the tree. I had come ont with
a full canteen, knowing that the front was
covered with wounded. Close to tna on
my right was a Federal corporal belonging
to a New York regiment. Ho tbld me at
the time the number of his regiment, but I
made no note of It. He was shot In tbe
right leg, midway between the hip and the
knee. This happened two hours before
dark, and considerably nearer ottr'ltnes,
and he managed to crawl twenty rods to
get to tho shelter of the tree. It was only
flesh wound, and could he have been
taken Into the lines that night he would
have been fit for duty within thirty days.
Some men would have almost walked off
with such a hurt as that, but the poor fel
low se'.med knocked all to pieces and had
quite lost his courage. I was holding the
canteen to bis Hps, having raised his head
and put a haversack under It, when the
Federal picket tired the shot. The bullet
crashed Into the head of the wounded man,
and with a sort of quiver, he fell back
dead.
The incident npset me considerably, and,
being under orders not to fire a shot unless
the enemy were advancing. I hugged tbe
ground at the foot of the tree and remained
quiet. Two more shots were fired at me,
but they were aimed too high and went
over, I bad been on duty about an hour
when the pleadings of a wounded man
about fifty feet to my left for water deter
mined me to succor lilra. He knew of my
presence and talked directly to me, saying
that he was shot in both legs and had been
lying there seven or eight hours. I left my
gun on the ground and started off on my
hands and knees. The corpse of a Federal
lay directly In my way, and I was just
making a half circle around it when the
supposed dead man scrambled up, seized
bis musket, which lay beside him, and
whirled on me with a sort of a scream.
You see, It all came so suddenly that I was
confused, and when he came at me I was
still on my bands and knees and helpless.
ne held the gun at "charge bayonets" and
made an awful lunge at me. The point of
tht bayonet passed through tbe luck of my
blouse, and tbe lunge pushed me over and
tbe steel went Into the ground almost to
the muzzle of the gun. I was thus pinned
to the earth, and the man let go of tbe mus
ket and fell across me, uttering a groan of
pain as he came down.
Jfy position was such that I could not
free myself for two or three minutes, and
when I did the man was dead for sure. He'
had probably been unconscious for a long
time before tbe frenzy of death caused him
to attack me In the singular manner he
did. So firmly was I pinned to the earth
that I had to "skin" ont of my blouse to
get free, aid it took a stout twist at the
butt of tbe musket to pull the bayonet out
of the bard baked soil.

HOBLE SOLDIERS.
The Haytians are an Intensely yaln peo
ple, and the thing they most pride them
selves on is thelrarmy. Nothing will con
vince them them that as a military power
they are not vastly superior to any nation,
either in the Old or New B'orld. Even
those who have Uyed In European capltols
are addicted to this extremely ridiculous
'balderdash;' but when the real facts are
presented, the state of affairs disclosed is
simply sublime In Its absurdity. Th Hay-
tlan army must present to European be
holders a spectacle of grotesqueness, the
equal of which It would be difficult to find
anywhere, cither in fact or fiction. Ima
gine a batttalion on parade consisting of
thirteen priyates, ten officers, and six
drummers I the rest of tho men as the
author quaintly puts It thinking it un
necessary to present themselves except on
pay day. Tbe staff officers are clad In the
gorgeous uniforms procurable, while the
men' are arrayed in a motley array of
tatters. Seme haye coats wantlngone arm,
the collar or tbe tall; tbe headgear may
consist of a dilapidated shako, a straw hat,
wideawake, or In many cases merely a
handkerchief tied round the head. The
officers hold their swords in either band as
suits them, and the men march past In
admirable confusion, each one carrying his
musket In the position he finds most con
venient. The populace look on with ad
miring looks and gravely ask If finer troops
can anywhere be found. The Uavtlan
black, however, thoroughly detests mili
tary service, and consequently the sentries,
lest they should be over-fatigued, are con
siderately provided with chairs.
