on, HE NOT TUE FIRST!
Oh by not the first to discover
' A blot on the fame of a friend,
A flaw on the faith of a lover,
• Whose heart may prove true to the end
We none of us know one another,
And oft into error we fall;
Then let us speak well of our brother,
Or speak not about him at all.
A smile or n sign may awaken
Suspicion most false and undue;
And thus our belief may be shaken
in' hearts that are honest and true.
Bow often the light smile of gladness
Is worn by the friends that we meet,
To corer a soul full cf sadness,
Too proud to acknowledge defeat.
How often the sigh of dejection
Isi heaved from the hypocrite's . breast,
To parody trnth and affection,
Or lull a suspicion to rest.
Hon - , often the 'friends Fe love dearest,
Their noblest emotions conceal;
And bosoms the purest, sincerest,
Have secrets, they cannot reveal.
Leave base minas to harbor tizoicion.
And small ones to trace our defects—
Let ours be a noble an.bition,
For base is the mind that s.uspects.
We,inone of ni-knowotie another,
And oft Litolerror We fall;
Then let spt;:ik well of four brother,
Or speak not; about him at all.

' General.—l have read a report, Mr.
Armstrong, of an examination of your.
self, by one of my Aid de•catnps, in re
gal d to the question of your loyalty
Now I need nut say to a man as experi•
enced as yourself, that taking the oath of
allegiance •is only a ,manifestation of loy
alty--that as a 'Luau might - join your
church and stilt be a very.bad wan after
su doing; •so a man may take the oath of
alegiance and Mill be.a very disloyal man.

I will answer - t•itell questions as you please.
Geneial.—Make your owu statement,

MTLA.—The' view. with which I took.
the oath was this: I believe the Military
Coma:ander has a right to demand of the
citizens at any time that they shall take

Mr: A.—His wife • she is a member of
my church. She was about selling her
property.
General.—Wait one moment. Don't
)ou remember whether you 'advised her
about: selling it in any way.
csairea
A.—l talked with her. I don't
recollect what I said. I believe there
was a conversation about selling her prop
ertY and removing to Baltimore—no, not
about selling her property. She told 'tne,
as her pastor, that she was going to re
wove to Baltimore.
General.—Did you then and them Fay
to her that she had better not remove ur
sell her ptoperty, because the Confedei
ates Would swill have the city of Nurfo.k.
and her property would then be worth
more; ':.or worth to that effect ? Answer
me that que.tidn, now. without mental
reservatton•or equivocation.
Mr. A —No, •sir, I urged her not to
go away from Norfolk, on account of her
church.
Getieral —Did you say anything like it?
1.‘1r.1 A.—No, sir.
Ge4eral.—Did you say anything as to

Mr I A.—No, sir.

Mrl, A.—No, sir.
Generzil.—Well, sir, you may proceed.
I wiirtear the rest of your statement.
Mrl A.—Well, in conducting the ea

prayer that was asked before the war, with
the addition of a prayer for ?peace.
