"I'm lately hearing strange new names ap­ plied to those who bore Out country's flag to meet the foe from sixty- one to four; And though the times are cur'aS now and mtghty changed since then, I don't &c« where the 'right' comes in to now throw dirt at men Who left their homes and all they loved for camp and battlefield. Till every traitor bit the dust or else was made to yield!.. I tell you, son, in those sad times the country needed men. And 'bounty-jumpers' wa'n't the name that people called them then! "The hounds of treason hunted then the very Nation's life; The 'rebel veil* was echoing above the bat­ tle's strife; The loyal women of the North sent out their bravest, best, Upon tne cruel battlefield to And a martyr's rest. And. cheering them, such prayers and love, 'tis my opinion, Heav'n Had never heard or smiled upon as onto them wasgiv'n! « 1 tell you, son, in those sad times the country noedod men, And 'coffee-coolers wa'n't the name that peo­ ple gave them then! "The North, O shame! had Copperheads, those worse than tory knaves. Full brothers to the ones who danced above our father's graves When Washington and Marlon, with many a noble band, Were lighting to glre freedon to onr glorious native land; They raved and howled, and in the rear did all the harm they could, But every patriot hated them and all their sneaking brood! I tell you. eon, in those sad times the country needed men, And •paupers' wa'n't the bitter nam that people called them then! "I don't forget your mother's tears when 1 put on the blue, An>l pressed her to my aching heart and kissed 'good-by' to you, Nor how, through every peril's olond, the glery of hei faoe Shone on me, lit by memory, to give me heart of graco To light, that this dear laad of ours might yet l>e free for her, And loft to you, my darling boy, her flag without a blurl And do you think, my son, that she, when Freedom needed men. E'er dreamed your sire would be neviled for what he suffered then? "At Vicksburgh and at Donelson the Shot and screaming shell And deafening *x>om of shotted guns made uproar as of Hell! And whan again we marched away with Sherman to the sea. We snread to eyes unused to it the banner of the free, While firant was holding to his grip, till Lee and Richmond fell, And Ulo.-y's clarion voice rang out, the vic­ tory to tell! I swear to God those victories were won by noble men, ' " And -sneaks,' 'deserters,' wa'n't the name the people called them then!

"If those who howl the loudest had been fighting at the front, Instead of hiring braver men te bear the bat­ tle's brunt, (Although I'm told oar President was boldly in the van, By proxy ol a substitute-five-hundred-dellar- man!)

"Should e'er a soldier cross your path, or lin­ ger at your door, Remember all the suffering his faithful bosom bore; lie may have been yonr father's friend and comrade in the li&ht; They may have tipped the same canteen, er shared one couch at night; His bosom may have stopped the bell that sped to enter mine, When loyalty was not reviled, and bravery not a 'crime'! And when the ballot's sacred Sword Is ln yonr freeman's hand, , Remember him who saved to you a legacy so grand! " --National Tribune. a. A. K Post 108, Woodstock. The above-mentioned post seems to be flourishing and prospering to a much greater degree than ever before. New candidates are being mustered in at almost every regular meeting, and still "there's more to fellow." Ar­ rangements are being rapidly perfect­ ed to make the memorial services much more imposing aid solemn than on any previous occasion in Wood­ stock. Comrades turn out, and all otb» ers who are and were ln sympathy with the cause, tor It is but right aad fitting that the memory of those ^ho risked their lives In defense of the Union should be honored and the rls> in{ generation ought to revere and perpetuate the beautiful custom of strewing their graves with flowers. The report that Gen. 8heridan Is about to make a horseback excursion up the Shenandoah Valley--which, by the way, is contradicted, and as the General himself is the author of the contradiction, we are obliged to give it some weight--has stirred up Gen. Rasser to make a savage attack upon the herb of Winchester. This reminds us of a little story: Bosser command­ ed a crack cavalry brigade in the rebel army, which was called the "Laurel Brigade," from its being raised in the mountains, and every man in it wore a a sprig of laurel conspicuously. For awhile Bosser Careered around Sheri­ dan in the Valley capturing wagons, stragglers and occasional foraging par­ ties. At last Sheridan "got bis mad up," and, going over to Torbet, who commanded our cavalry, gave him a piece of his mind in the regular vig­ orous Sheridan style. The next morn­ ing bright aad early saw Torbet oat after Bosser with blood In his eye. The Laurel Brigade caught it as if it had monkeyed with the business end of a tornado, and did not step running until it reached Newmarket, SB mllee • " -*,"•*>*<: ' ' . , . • .• v; ^ away. It lost all its artlltoy tail wagons. The next day old Jnbtl ly wont op to Bosser, aad squealed out in his usual thin, high voice: * Bosser, you'd better change tt»; name ef your brigade te the 'Pumpkin Vine,' The laurel, yea know, tea't a Tanner." --Nat.

A few mere nights on the battle-field of life and the bivouac will be pitched where the bugle's call to arms will net reach our ear.
