BURCnBS Oyer's Cathartia Pillfi ak Ay LIBERTY e AND UNION, BROWNVILLE; NEBRASKA, THURSDAY; BATTLE-WORN BANNERS. I saw the soldiers come to-day From battle-fields afar ; No conqnror rede before their way On his triumphal car, But captains, like themselves, on foot; And banners sadly torn," All grandly eloquent, though mute, In pride and glory borne. Those canuers, soiled with dnst and smoke And rent by shot and shell, That through the serried phalanx broke, what terrors they could tell I ' ' What tales of sudden pain and death In every cannon's boom; . When even th bravest held bis breath And waited for bis doom. By bands of steel those flags were wavd Aleve the carnage dire, Almost destroyed, yet always eared, 'Jlid battlo clouds and fire. Though down at times, still np they rose And kissed the breeze again, Dread tokens to the rebel foes Of trua and loy al men. And here the true and loyal still Those famous banners bear ; The bugles wind, the fifes blow shrill, And cIhbIi tho cymbals where, With decimated ranks, they como, And through the crowded street March to tho beating of the drum With firm though weary feet, God bless the soldiers ! cry the folk, Whose cheers of weloome swell ; God bless the banners, black with smoke, And torn by shot and shell ! They should be hung on sacred shrines, Bab tiied with grateful tears, And lire embalmed in poets' lines Through all succeeding years. No grander trophies could be brought By patriot sire to son, Of glorious battles nobly fought, Brave deeds sublimely done. And so, to-day, I chanoed with pride And solemn joy to see, Those remnants from the bloody tide Of Victory. SECESH OUTWITTED. Squire Bailey had the biggest, and best, and most docile mule in Marlin's Bottom, and Marjin's Bottom is about the biggest and best neighborhood on Green brier River. Squire Bailgy was inclined to be a Union man, and did not entirely conceal his sentiments, notwithstanding the presence cf' Floyd's -armT-'in the vicinity. About the time of FUyd's "tu multuous fight'' from that region, he was very much in need of transportation, and, according to the established usages among seoesh, he proceeded to levy ton the teams of the neichborinc: farmers. Of course, a Union man, like Squire Bailey, was not to escape ; but Squire Bailey, taking time by the forelock, very quietly one night removed to a safe locality all bis live stock except his favcrite mule, which he kept for hauling wood and going to mill. This mule being apparently the only support of a large and increasing family, Squire Bailey fondly believed the secesh would not be heartless enough to rob him of it. But Squire Bailey did not understand Secesh. One fine morninc: alon? came Quartermaster Blifie, accompanied by half a dozen armed men, from Floyd's army. Squire Bailey was standing at his gate when Quartermaster Blifie ap proached, and commenced a conversation with him. Good morning, Air. a , 'Bailey,' suggested the Squire. Yes, Bailey ; good morning Mr. Baii ley.' Mornin,' said the Squire. I understand, Mr. Bailey, that you have a number of horses and mules that you wish to dispose of to our gloiriouS Confederacy.' . Mistake, sir,' said Bailey; 'I have none to sell to anybody.' But, Mr. Bailey, some gentleman in formed me yesterday that you had quite a number of horses and mules.' If you'll believe your eyes, instead of some gentleman,' Mr. Quartermaster, you can see for yourself that I have noth ing but that mule, in the dog pen there, and that 1 can't rossiblv keen house r without.' . Ah! I see tie mule,' said Blifie, looi ing through the cracks. 'You'd be ask ing fifty for that mule, I s'pose. Well, its a big price, but if you won't take less, I'll have jo give it! Corporal, just write & note for fifty dollars, payable in Florida swamp lands, at twenty-five dollars an acre, two years after our glorious Con federacy achieves undispute'd independ ence.' But, Mr. Blifie,' remonstrated the Squire, 'if you take my mule, my family will freeze to death, and starve to death, loo, afore spring-. And if I had twenty mules, I could not sell you' one sich as that for less cor three huqored m' goldf; '. ' V:'. ONE AND INSEPARABLE, NOW AND FOREVER!" but this one I can't spare at - no price. We must all make sacrifices, Mr. Bailey," for our glorious Confederacy. If you only knew the sacrifices I have made, Mr. Bailey. . The starving and freezing of your wife and children are nothing compared to them ; . but the glorious Con federacy called, and my patriotism re sponded to the call. Future generations will remember and bless us, Mr, Eiiley, and we will receive the everlasting grat itude Of our glorious Confederacy. Think of that, Mr. Bailey, think of that.' Mr., Blifie, before his pointment.had been utterly penniless, end ten times as mean as be was poof. These qualifications &dt-him the appointment of qudrtermas ter ; out of this' office he was, of course, stealing a fdrtbne.; He" bad 'sacrificed' the, feter Funk buslcs.c;l;r4hat paradise of peculators a quarterm'astership. . Mr. BHfie,' said the Squire, with much feeling, for the. Lord's aake don't take my last airthly support; Don't you see my children all a cryin and a carryin on, because they know they'll be in their graves afore spring, if you rob me of Rob!' exclaimed Mr. Blifie, fiercely, Don't say 'rob' again, or I'll massacre your whole nest of traitors. It's because you're an enemy to our glorious Confed eracy (bat you ere unwilling , to sell the mule at a fair price. I oughtn't to pay i-uch as you a cent, but I'm a generous man, and yoii ought to be thankful to me. Cerporal, fill up the note as I directed.' Hold on a minit,' said the Squire. If that paper is what you are goin' to give me, don't spile it by writin' on it. The blank paper might be of a little use to me, but the writin' on it never could.' 'You're a cursed traitor to our glorious Confederacy,' said Blifie, and he started t lake the mule out of the pen. It was hitched with a halter, and had a broad cirsihgle around it. He unfastened it, and without deigning , another vyord to the 'enemy of his glorious Confederacy' he was ofF with it to seek another farm er's stables. Squire Bailey looked sad as he turned to go into the house, and, in the bitter ness of -his feelings, so for forgot him self as to 'd n the glorious Confede racy." Snugly concealed in Squire Bailey's closet was Jack Phillips, the up-to-every-thing Ohio s;out. As the Squire entered the room he called out: "Come out Jack ; they've gone, and the4 Infernal scoundrels have stole my mule.' I told you they would,' said Jack mak ing his appearance, 'and if I hadn't in formed you last night, they'd got all the rest of 'em that yuu sent off.' That's so Jack ; but I'd give a hun dred dollars to have that mule back.' Jack looked steadily at the fire for five minutes. What did you say, Squire ?' 'I said I'd give a hundred dollars to get that mule lack ; but I 'spose three hun dred wouldn't get him.' 'I don't know,' said Jack, abstractedly, and he looked in the fire for five minutes more. Suddenly Jack brightened up, and said: Give me the hundred dollars, Squire, and I'll bring you your mule to-mbrrow night, or your money shall be returned.' The Squire looked amazed at Jack for a. moment, but seeing he was in earnest, put five double eagles in his hand. In a few minutes Jack left the house, dressed in linsey pants, a red wamus, and a coon skin cap. Next day hs Jack was walking leisure ly up the road, by a coincidence, proba bly brought about by himself, he met the Quartermaster and his men. returning with the proceeds of the expedition. Jack smiled a happy smile, when he saw Blifie behind the rest, leading Ihe Squire's mule. He walked quietly along until he came almost opposite the .Quartermaster, when he darted suddenly off the side bf the road, looking at the mule as if fright ened. . Blasted scoundrel I'-exclaimed Jack. Who! who is a blasted scoundred ?' asked the Quartermaster. Aint that the mule old Bailey had?' asked Jack, moving still farther out of his rpach; - Yes ; but who did you say was a blast ed scoundrel?' inquired the Quartermas ter, very naturally taking all such com pliments to himself. . Why, old Bailey, and the mule too, for that matter teplied Jack. What's the natter with the rnule? asked Blifie, whose former occupation had not made him much of a judge cf lite stock. ' , The matter ! Why he'll kill you afore you get him home. You didn't pay the old sinner anythiBg for him, did you V inquired Jack. f " . . . ; .Certainly; I "paid, two hundred and fifty1 dollars for hir' This is what the , FEBUARY 25 18CJ. sacrificing patriot intended to return him at, to his gloridus Confederacy. Lord a mercy !' exclaimed Jack. But what's the matter with hira V ask ed Blifie, looking at the animal half frightered. '. : . Thatere mule,' replied Jack, 'has kicked down, in his time, every panel of fenca on old Bailey's place? You" found him in a pen cf biglog3, didn't you?' Yes; why?' inquired Blifie. 'And them ere legs are fastened by tig iron bolts. Its ; the only thing that would ever hold him. He has killed al the rest of old Bailey's stock, and the old rascal nas kept h:m on purpose to swindle some fellow with.' I ! heard,' said Blifie, that he used to have more stock.' " " .'ghat's what become of it,' said Jack Didn't the children cry. and didn't old Bailey whine and carry on about losin his three -hundred dollar mule ?' Yes, they did, at a great rate.' I knowed it said Jack; 4The old woman spanked them children, and sent them out at the nick of time to help the old rascal in his swindle. And to chea our glorious Confederacy in that manner He ousht to be hun I' and Jack winked his off eye ' But if he's so vicious,' said Blifie hope fully, 'how did they get the halter and cirsingle on him IV - 'Chloroform, sir,' chloroform. I'veactu ally seen that mule kick his collar off.' And did they-give him chloroform to get the collar on him ?' asked Blifie. . 1-1 me imo v repnea jacic. iney put some oats in the bottom of a barrel, and laid the collar across the top ; the mule run his head through the collar to get at the oats.' . 'The devil 1' ejaculated the quarter master. ' 'Yes, continued Jack, 'and I seed him kick that collar off. liver since that, he kicks every barrel to slaves that he gels eyes on.' . 'But he has seemed quiet enough since I have been leading hira,' interposed Blifie. Her you any liquor about you ?' asked Jack. Yes, a little in my coat pocket ; why do you ask?' That's what he follers you for, and its a wonder he hain't eat you up body and breeches afore this, to get the liquor. 1 tpowe, that muje to kick the lock off of old Bailey s cellar door, and go down tnar and nil as drunk as a beast, t act- sir. That mule'ean kick your hat off, and you on his back.' That can't be so,' said the Quarter master, incredulously. Try him,' said Jack.; Tve jist got a cool hundred dollars to give you if you'll ride him a rod.' By this time the Quartermaster's atten dants had got out of sight, and his ava ricious soul prompted him to make an effort to get Jack's gold, thinking he couldn't be. more than thrown off, any how. The nio-ht before this meeting, Jack a had quietly stolen into the mules stable, and carefully placed a leather dog-collar, driven full of pointed sparrawbills, unde,r the mules cirsingle, putting a piece ot light leather between the points" of the nails and the mules back, so that a mode rate pressure would fores them through into the animal's hide. Ignorant of this, the greedy Quarter master moved the mule to the bank, and sprang on him just where the dogcollar was placed. Just as he lit on the mule, a boulder lit on his head, and he lit sprawling in the mud. The mule, fran tic with the pain of the nails still stick ing in his back, sprang off the side of the road, knocked down a dozen panels of fence, and ran furiously across the field, rearing, kicking, lajnngdewn and rolling over, jumping up, about at a terrible rate. I tcld you so,' said Jack coolly, as the Quartermaster scrambled up, rubbing his bruised head, and brushing at the mud on his besmeared clothes. He's worse than seven devels, aint he ?' said the discomfited Quartermaster. In course he is,? replied Jack. What'll you give me for the chance bf him ? usked the Quartermaster, as he saw another string of fence go down bo fore the maddened mule. ... Don't know,' said, Jack; 'the halter miht be worth a dollar or so, if I could get close enough to shoot him before he tears it all to shortstrings.' 'But where's rcy horse ?' asked the Quartermaster, looking around iri aston ishment. Don't know,' replied Jack ; 'the mule gave him a hysie with his heels, jist as he started, and haven't seed the boss since.' ' . 'I wish the devil had old ' ' . Hello! Quartermaster!' shouted. ,a man in secesh uniform who was coming I1 I NO. 26. up.thg rocd at the. tcp of his speed ; 'hel lo ! Mr. Quartermaster, the enemy is coming right dwn on our camp, and the General wants you immediately. Our army is mnning like all possest, and the General wants you to help save the plun der. Hurry back a3 hard as you can run, or the enemy will be betwixed you and our fellers.' Blifie waited to hear no more, but broke for his camp like a quarter-horse. When he arrived, and found that the story was all false, terrible was the ven geance ha vowed ; but before he had time to execute hi3 threats, Fldyd'3 army was in a remote part of the Stater - It i hardly necessary to add that the messenger who sent the Quartermaster off so precipitately, was an associate of Jack's and that Jack had turned; the Quartermaster's horse with his head cp the road, and by a sharp cut with a whip sent him out of sight before Blifla recov ered from his confusion. 3 Squire Bailey got his mule again, little the worse for Jack's tricks, and he is as quiet and useful an animal as there is in all the country. The double eagles Jack returned with the mule, taking the Quartermaster's horse : as. compensation for his services. . . ... - Jack PhilliDs says he would Iika to a have an opportunity cf inquiring of the' self-sacrificing patriot of the glorious Confederacy whether it hurt much when the mule kicked his hat off. Wilkes' Spirit of the Times. Western eloquence continues to im prove. A Wisconsin reporter sends the following sketch. A lawyer in Mil wauke was defending a handsome young women acused of stealing from a large unoccupied dwelling in the night time, and thus he spoke in corclusiori." ''Gentlemen of the Jury, I am dene. When I gaze with enraptured eyes on the matchless beauty of this peerless I w 1 virgin, on wnose resplendent cnarms fuspiciori never dared to breathe; when I behold her radiant in this glorious bloom bf lustrous loveliness, which anarelic sweetness, might envy but could not eclipse; before which the star on the brow of night grows pale, and tha dimonds of Brazil are dim; and then reflect upon the utter madness and folly of supposing that so much, beauty would expose itself to the terrors of an empty buiiding in the cold, camp deacl of ni'rct, when innocence like hers is hiding itself amidst the snowy pillows of repose; gentleman of the Jary, my feelings are too overpow ermg tor expression, ana 1 tnrow ner into your arms for protection against this foul charge, which the outrageous malice of a disappointed scoundrel has invented toblast the fair name of this lovely maiden, whose smile shall be the reward of the verdict which I know you will give. The jary acquitted her without leaving there seats. In a village not twenty miles from this city, a women took her infant child to church to be christened, and had chosen. for it the name of Lucy. Unfor tunately, as it happened the mother isped. and when asked by the minister what name she had selected, she replied, Luthy, thir.' Understanding her to say Lucifer,' the man of clericals robes was very naturally, considerably shocked, but as he had reached a point in the pro ceedings where the dinity of his office must be sustained, he controlled his feel ings, and not recognizing the horrible name given him. but supposing the child to be a boy, announced in loud tones the nameofjthe little one to be 'George Washington.' The feeling of the mother may be immagined. Hartford Courant. The principal of a public schoool, w"io wanted permission from his patrons to corporelly punish his pupils, had free permision given him in the following res ponse from a fond and tender parent: Dear Sir; Your flogging cirklar is duly receaved.
