Tat! lay one laurel more on Lincoln's grave,
Thou, whose relentless band to shame so long
That noble and heroic nature gave,
Nor blush to say that thou hut done him wrong.
Draw near, white yet a mourning Oatlon's tears
Are Meg fast above their martyred dead,
Nor fear to own, throuut the coining ymrs,
That thou, in bitter aame, bast bowed thy bead.
Bring thy sad tribute hither, while We Tay
Our earth to earth, our dust unto its dust ;
And, standing by that new-made grave to-day,
Unto thyself, and to the dead, be Just I
Those eyes, nom closed in the eternal night,
Turn not on thee with unforgiving man :
That, soul, in heavenly patience self•peaseseed,
Stood tar above thy blame, nor asks thy praise.
That form, deemed all unfit for courtly grace,
War sought, or cared, the applause of courts to
win;
Enough: for him, that Atries long' crushed race
Say, •'through this man, we too, stand up as men."
Beneath that garb, though rustle tolled, and plain,
Beat the warms,ympathizing b,eart that sped
Across the seas khul words to comfort wln,
When England's whlow'd gm:col:mat o'er her dead
He stood, where men of meaner Mould had quailed,
Unheeding obloquy, reproach, .or sneer;
Oh, brave, strOngheart, the traitor's hand had failed
10 still thy throbbing, hadet thou but known fear.
Beguiling 11l with good, and wrong with right,
Bopassed he on where duty led the way ;
Hearfng one voles, and following but one light,
Whether in lire by night, or cloud by day.
A. mind that read the Uwe:dugs of the past.
' Gleaning freahlvlsdom for the present age,
Whets Renven had joined not man might put apart,
The child-like soul, the wisdom of the sage ;
A heart that patiently, through Years of strife,
Bore, of a nation's woo, the heavy load,
And, "faithful unto death," breathed out its life.
True to itself, ihs kind, and to its God.
Let these suffice thee I By the Western wave,
Again his rest, and pesos, and home, is found ;
And, when thou s oast beside Lincoln's grave,
Remember that the spot is holy ground!

THE MAN AND THE MONKEY.
When I was at the siegeef Gibraltar—
" I say, old fellow— -
I appeal for protection to the_ chair. [Hear,
hear.] When I was at the siege of Gibraltar,
my post was for some time in the Queen's Bat
tery, which immediately fronted the besiegers'
works. It was my special duty to acquire es
accurate a knowledge of these works, their arm
ament, position, defences, and progress, as it was
Per
,ossible to obtain by constant observation and a
Very middling spy-glass, while enveloped in dust
and smoke, choked with sulphur, and exposed
to incessant compliments of shot and shell.—
The knowledge thus obtained I had the honor
of imparting to our gallant Lieut-Governor,
General Boyd, when lie came out to the front
from time to time. This circumstance procured
for me the glorious distinction of going out us a
guide when we made a sortie by night for the
purpose of surprising the enemy's works, burn
ing and destroying them.
I am not going to describe the sortie; you
will find all about it In'Drlnkwater. Let me on
ly say that it proved a real surprise to the ene
my ; their works were ruined, their gems spiked
and their approaches in a corresponding degree
retarded, which was just what we wanted.
The affair was nearly over, their gabions
along the whole front, were in a blaze; but
'though out-numbered at our point of attack, the
enemy fought stoutly, and a good deal of savage
skirmishing was still going on. I was in the
thick of a regular melee, hard knocks at close
quarters, when my atlehtion was arrested by a
diminutive Frenchman, an officer in splendid
uniform, who was doing chivalrous deeds, as if
he fancied hisown arm might yet restore the
lost combat. He was a mere pigmy.; and his
pluckiness had so won upon our fellows that
they were bent upon effecting an object to which
his own valor was the only obstacle—that of
taking him alive. Flourishing his sword, be
skipped about, facing every point of the com
pass in succession, and thrusting, withlond cries
of defiance, at every one that approached him.
"Di .n't kill him !" the men cried. " Take him
alive; don't hurt the little chap ;" though the
"little chap" had already disabled a sergeant and
a private who had •ventrtred too near him. I
shouted, taking off my hat and entreating him
for his own sake to surrender; it was clear, in
deed, that he had no thence left but either-to be
taken prisoner or to bite the dust. Re returned
my salute, but still maintained the defensive,
spinning round and round, and lunging at the
horizon. As we had done our work, and it was
high time to get back to our lines lest the enemy
should attacitus in force, I began to fearitwould
be out of my power to save the little French
man's life. Our men, too, were beginning to
lose patience, and showed a disposition to close
upon him with fixed bayonets; in which case,
though he might very possibly have set his matk
upon one or two more of them, the consequen
ces to himself might have been far from agreea
ble. At that moment, and just as I was think
ing, as a last effort, of trying what I could do by
approaching him in person, he seemed to awake
suddenly to a consciousness pf his own peril,
rushed towards me, threw down his sword,
clasped his hands, tittered a piercing shriek, and
dropped on his knees at my feet.
He was my prisoner. —a very grand capture,
to be sure. In an instant be became calm, gen
tlemenly and garrulous. Walking with me side
by side as our party withdrew, he was kind
enough to commence a perpetual stream of talk,
which lasted all the way, and in which he found
time to tell me who he was, and all about his
own family and history; how he had fought in
many battles, and always came off with more
glory than all the rest of the combatants togeth
er ,• not forgetting to mention how much sooner
' Gibraltar would have fallen—it was sure to tall
at last — had only his suggestions been apprecia
sted as they deserved. He begged to assure me
that he was a person of great importance. He
bore, as he waseaaed to state, the name of
Montmaar; and his non de guerre, by au inver
sion of the syllables, was Mormon. He was of
noble birth and turned of thirty; but his distin
guished talents and acequirements in the art of
war, known throughout Europe and universally
recognised in the French service, had so excited
the envy of his military 'superiors that they bad
succeeded by finesse, in preventing his rising to
a higher , grade than of lieutenant in a regiment
of the line.,
The
The `peatday when M. de Montmaur was
presented before the Governer, His Excellency
seemed - a non Vase& To shut up a di
minutive object like that In durance would
have looked absurd; one Would as soon have
thought of imprisoning a tomtit formally to
parole him would have been a matter of no im
portance—always better let alone. The result
was that, having far weightier matters to attend
to, Ills Excellency let the business stand over,
and ended by doing nothing; so- that M. de
Montmaur remained a prisoner at large. He

" Freedom and Right against Slav•ery and Wrong."
MONTROSE, SUSQ. CO.. PA., TUESDAY, JULY 11, 1865.
an adventurous sortie brought us fruit, or vege-
tables, or 9sh, or fresh meat, ho was specially
invited to share the feast. If he sometimes talk-
ed big, either about his prowess, his military
attainments, his extraordinary adventnrex, his
varied aecomplishments,or his innumerable Gore
(pests among the fair, this only added unbar
amusement; his vanity was so openhearted that
we liked !dal all the better. ins more extrava-
gent sallies were generally received with cheers,
shouts of laughter, and much thumping on the
table, all which he took to his own credit, prob
ably unconscious that the said thumping was a
grim regimental pun, practically and conven
tionally signifying "That's a thumper I" When
he had succeeded In eliciting a vociferous dem
onstration, he always went home to his (Withers
In a high state of exhilaration.
In the garrison, however, we had one indi
vidual, with whom 3L do Montmaur, though it
was not his own &tilt, never established ami
cable relation. This was a foreign officer in our
service; he was from the north of Europe, a
Captain tichnaub, who, though he wanted
neither courage nor capacity, had certainly
failed in making himself generally popular
amongst us. Ho was a tali, large, powerful
man, his stoutness almost verging on corpulen-
cy. His manner was rough, en were his ,inku.
Unfortunately, also, lie viewed all Frenchmen
with hostility, and this feeling he had no op
portunity of exhibiting, except towards M. do
Montmanr, whom ho was in the habit of treat-
ing as Ignominiously as the general feeling of
the garrison would permit. To inc our little
prisoner bad mentioned the subject more than
once, pompously remarking that he feared he
should be under the painful necessity of teach
ing "ce cher eapitaine Se-che-naubbe" a lesson
in " polltesse."
At length, in M. de Montmaur's opinion the
time for administering this very lesson arrived,
and ho communicated with nie in due form.
He commenced the conference by intimating
that, "though little In stature he was bravo as
a lion."
To this I merely responded by a bow. He
next went on to state that " his sense of honor
was not inferior to his bravery."
In short, seeing that he had a commodes
.
tion to make, and taking a very roundabout
way of coming to the point, I brought him to it
at once. He then gave ine to understand that
the time had at length arrived, when, without
appearing captious or precipitate--ha would
like to see the individual, present company ex
cepted whose 'discretion and amiability came
next his own—he felt himself free to terminate
a long series of insolence& Observing next the
seawall, he said, a party of officers in conversa
tion, among them " cbe cher Capitaine Se-che
naubbe," he had been impelled by that court
esy which eminently distinguished him to ap
proach and salute them. His salute was polite
ly returned by the whole party, with one excep
tion. "Cho cher Capitaine . " gave no token of
recognition,
nay, worse, actually held up a key,
and looked at him through it, as if it had been
OM eyeglass, thereby conveying the offensive im
putation that he was so diminutive, so insignifi
cant, as not to be discernible by the naked eye.
This raised a laugh among the gentlemen pres
ent; and, more offensive still, the laugh was
audibly taken up and re-echoed by certain non
commissioned officers and privates who were
standing not tar off. For this insult M. de
Montry.ne felt himself entitled to prompt
satis
faction.
"Well," wild I, " you state the case as a par
ty interested. Before pronouncing 00 it, I
should like to ascertain the impression of one or
two of the officers present Considering that
yon and I have been so much together; and that
it was I, moreover, who had the honor of re
ceiving your surrender, I shall view the insult,
if any was intended, as offered to myself. The
quarrel in that case will be mine; I am the per
son to whom the Captain will owe satisfaction."
(Such, in those days of duelling,, were our nu
dons of honor.)
"Ala," cried the little Frenchman, "that is
brave! that is noble I that is just exactly what
I know you would say! But I have anticipated
your chivalrous sentiments by equal chivalry on
my own part, My challenge is already sent;
I dispatched it an hour ago ; and I have the
Captain's acceptance in my pocket. The only
favor, therefore, which I now ask, is your oblig
ing_ company as a friend."
" The affair Cause Off; the weapons ntpiers;
the time, that same afternoon;
. the field of
slaughter, a retired spot beyond the bacracks,
and not far from the southern extremity of the
Rock. Nevertheless the bnsiuts having got
wind, a few officers lounged down to nee; and
several other persons, civilians as well as sold
iers, steed looking on at a distance.
The parties being placed, a few thrusts were
exchanged without effect, The Captain looked
sulky enough. It was evident be keenly felt
his ridiculous position 1 be, the biggest man in
the garrison, stuck up tu-a-nif in mortal combat
with the least. The poor man fenced as if he
couldn't help himself. The little Frenchman.
on the contrary, was all activity and enterprise.
At length, after a brisk passage of arms, the two
stood facing each other a few seconds in perfect
stillness, their swords barely touching at their
extremities. Suddenly the little Frenchman
swelled to twice his natural size, stamped,
shouted " Huh I" sprang forward a yard, sprang
back again. It was done in the twinkling of
an eye. There ho stood just in his former atti
tude, as though he had never moved. At first I
was not aware of any result ; but three inches
of his sword took effect, just as surely as when
a spider, having nett kl a wasp, jumps at him,
nips, and jumps away-n. The Captain had I
got an ugly prone in his sword-arm, between
the wrist and elbow. The first token was that
he used some shocking bad language ; next, he
turned deadly pale; then his sword went grad
ually down, down, down; then the weapon fell
from his grasp.—be conld hold it no longer.—
M. de Montmaur, scorning to profit by his suc
cess, bowed politely to his antagonist, thanked
him for the honor of " dis wading," and ex
pressed himselr perfectly satisfy."
The CllPtaid - 11.9 taken away by his second,
growling thunder, and followed by the doctor.
The officens-present, with whom he was far from
popular, were not sorry that be got a lesson,
and surrounded the victor. A few words com
mendatory of M. de Monttnaur's pluck and skill
took such an effect that the little lieutenant was'
quite beside himself. He gesticulated, he wept.
He called all Olympus to witness that no insult,
however gross, should ever induce him hence
forth to draw his sword in single combat, against
- ,
the British uniform; and In proof of his siiteer
'By ho entreated, he implored, that some one
present would only have the kindness to kick
bite or pull his nose, and see it he wouldn't take
it like a lamb. To prevent him making a more
complete ass of himself, I got him off the field,
gave him an early supper, with only a short al
lowance of grog, and sent him to bed.
Captain Behnaub, who, with all his little pe
culiarities of character, was a zealous officer, ap
peared at his post on the third day with a slung
arm, and in a fortnight was well.
So ends the first . part, of my story. Much
obliged; no more wtne.:.lll trouble you for a
little of that. Thanks; only half a tumbler—
thank you, thank you. I'll just light another
cigar, and proceed.
Meanwhile the siege went on. Compared
with their prodigious expenditure of powder and

It was well known in the garrison, and the

part of the Rock to the other, do occasionally
use those "knife-board" paths along the face of
the precipice, and when two of them meet, as
there is no room to pass, and the °insider would
infallibly be precipitated,. one lies down and the
other walks over him. This led; me to fancy
that a goat had met the Captain, and that chin
he had laid himself along to be walked over by
the goat, or had done as much for him.
"Islonsense, goat!" be exclaimed, "What do
you mean by a goat ? No, sir ! not a goat, a
baboon."
"Met you at the back of the Rock? Oh, one
of the Gibraltar apes, I suppose. They hide up
here among the crags and crevices; but I never
mot one yet in that path, or in any like it."
When anything disagreeable has occurred, it
is quite natural that we should reel thoroughly
out of temper with everybody, end just in the hu
mor for wreaking our vengeance on somebody,
and so quarrel with the first person we meet.
Such seemed to be the C iptaiu's temper now.
"Sir," said he fiercely, "I did not say an ape;
I said a baboon—and a pretty big one too—fall

I was on duty, and didn't want to quarrel.

the biggest, or which donkeys. I grant %

days after came their grand attack. We burnt
their floating batteries; and shortly after, the '
siege was rinsed.
Passing along the second day after the attack,

AT TILE BATTLE OF SOILOII
The following story of Grant may be apocry
phal. If true, however, it is a fine commentary
of his character. If not true, it. shows that the
traits of firmness 19 buck a prominent one that
anecdotes have been originated to illustrate it.
The story runs that immediately after the haul,
of Shiloh, Gen Buell began criticising, in a
friendly way, what he termed the bad policy
displayed by Grant in fighting with the Tennes
see River in his rear.
" Where, if beaten, could you have retreated,
General ? ' asked Buell.
"t didn't mean to be beaten," was Grant's re
' Bnt suppose you had been beaten?"
" Well, there were all the transports to cross
the river."
"But, General," urged Buell, "Your whole
number of transports could not contain over ten
thousand men, and you hadillty thousand en
gaged."
" Well, said Grant, "ten thousand men Is as
many as there would lave been left to cress."
A tine illustration of his practical turn o•f mine
Is found in a story related of him when oper
ating before Fort Donelson. On the night be
fore the surrender, the preparations of a portion
of the rebels to evacuate the Fort lcd General
Mcelenaand to believe they were meditating an
attack, and he communicated his suspicions t.‘,
Grant, at the same time sending him a prisoner
who had been captured but a short time before.
On reading 3lcelernand's dispatch, Grant order
ed the prisoner's haversack to be searched. l'
was found that it was tilled with rations. "I
the rebels intend to hold the fort they would not
encumber their men with rations, They are
preparing to leave." was the very sagoand prac
tical reasoning of the General ; and he home
diutely ordered Meelernand to esannie the 'of

and only a portion of the grrison escaped.; the
remainder capitulated.
