C. A. CAT.I,. TU1 it up carefnliy, 1st it aside: Tenderly touch it. look on it with pride For dear muit it be to our heart evermore, The jacket of grey onr loved soldier hoy wore. Can we ever forget when he joined the brave bard, Who rone iu defence of our dear Southern land, And, in his bright youth, hurried on to' the fray. How proudly he donned it, the jacket of grc-y. Ilia fond mother blessed him, and looked up abovo' Commending to Heaven the child of her love; "What anguish was hcrP, mortal tongue cannot a ay, "When Le passed from our sight in the jacket of grey- But her country had culled, nr.d ehe would not r& pino, Though coftly the sacrifice placed on the fhrine; Her heart's dearest hope on the alter sho lay, .When she sent out her boy in the jacket of grey. Month' paed, and war'u thunder rolled over tho plain, Unncatliod was the sword, and lighted the brand: We heard in the distance tho ound of the fray, And prayed for our boy in the jacket of grey. Oh! vain, all, all vain, wna our prayers and our tears; Tao glad shout of victory rang in our earn; IJ it our trea ured one on the red battle field lay, Wuile the life blood oozed out on the jacket nf grey. IIU young comrades found 1 im and tenderly bore The cold, iifclehtt form to hi home by the shore; Oh ! daik were our hearts en that terrible day, When we waw our dead b'.iy, in the jacket of grey. Oh! spotted and tattered and stained now with gore. Was the garment which once he so proudly wore, Wo bitUrly wept we took it a-vay,. And replaced, with dentil's robes, his jacket of grey. When wo laid him to rwi in l.i-t cold, narrow bed, And engraved on the marble we placed o'er his head. As the proudest of tribute our n:vl hearta could "Ho never disgracc-d the jacket of grey." Then fold it up care fully, lay it asid.- Tenderly touch ir.

Aunt Abby, The Irrepressible. S':ewas asfearless under fire as she was in the use of her tongue, and more than one officer has testified to the coolness with which she would wilk through the trenches during the fearful bombardment around Petersburg; and she has been kuown to go uuder a heavy fire to carry water to our wounded. On one occasion an ofiicer met her coolly walking down the road leading two horses by the bridles, with the bullets whistling around her like hail. "My God ! old laily" he exclaimed, "what are vou doing here ?" "I'm taking Colonel McRae's and Capt. Young's horses to 'ein. Tuey jumped off 'em aud turned 'em into the yard, while they run through the buhes down to whar the Yankee's begun a tiring ou our boys; and when they opened on 'em with the cannon, aud shells begun to 'burst round headquarters, thesa here foolish horses cot sort of cantankerous, so I 'cotch "em by the bridles, ad as they'd 'er 'bin killed maybe if I loft 'em up yon der, I'm gwine to take 'em down to whar the boys is under cover," The oCieer, who told the story, said she was iis cool as though she was leading the horses to water on a summer's day at home; and only got excited and used ex pressions more forcible than elegant when they, snorting and jerking bauk at the whiz of every sin II, came near stepping ou her. She said the woman at tho home? had run into the cellar v, heu the bo:n brtidiiK iit lu gan, and called to her to come in too, "but 1 lold her that I was going to carry them thar hoiv.es to ther owners, for maybe they'd need 'em yet before the day was over." She. whs on her way to General Lee's army when she heard of the evacuation of Richmond, and Mr. Davhs' arrivid at Gieonsboro.' "I mu!hiI work my way through t- Giti'ral Lee afore he gave under that apple-tiee, bos; buys I am g.viue do so, she could take two mule3 in the place of her 'crap critter that she'd think me not in spite of my blue coat, unworthy to sit iu the seat of the departed Zebnlon.

Her own crap critter, however, cou'd not be found among the stolen mules, and af ter much persuasion she was induced, on the representation of the Provost Marshal, j that she could return it when it was called i for, to pick out another mule. He pointed out one that he thought the best in the lot, but she rejected it, and finally selected one of the worst, and replied, when asked, whv she did not take a better one- -aid 1, Mid What luck, Aunt Abbv V you get Marcellus excused ?'

Ant: Wearing of the Green. 01:, hav-i yoa heard ti c cruel new ? Alas ! it in too true; Upon the Apnouiatox, down went our croH of Blue, Our ."armies have Hiirrendered: we how to North ern sway, And for ever more forbidden if, lLttte iceariuy of (lie grey." No more on lielda of battle waves, the banner of our pride, In vain beneath its crimson fokbi, Stuart and Stonewall died; Like a meteor of evening, that Hug hat patted away, And low he tbo-o who guardod it, "i.'ts iceirtrs of (Jw grry." It met a Miflsief ij pian, right Lard my hand ho wrung, The toarH were in his dauntleHs even, aud falter ing wan hi tongue, Aa in broken words he told me, of that disastrous day Which made a badge of infamy; the wearing of tho grey. Now, honor to the soldier, who still is firm aud. true, And shame upon tho Southern breast, that t eam the foem u blue, While round the Blue F.idge s rocky peakts, tho evening mists nijall play, We'll like our mountaiiiH never leave, ''the war ing of Urn grey. " Kemember how we scattered thorn, beneath thone mouu.bain.ti old, How we tamed the prowes-a of the atroug. the va lor of the bold; When thundering thro' the bloody ap, old Long street burnt hia way, Eemember thin and ne'er forsake, the wearing of the grey. We have lost all but bouor, and our banner bears no fchame, Tnough beaten down by numbers, we keep our ancient fame, And tho' exile from our country, in foreign landd we at ray, We 11 not forget our early love, but proudly wear the gry. Now here'a to our companions, the comrades truo who died In forefront of the battle, clote fighting by our efue: Tho' our lips are IittJo used to prayer, yet, for their souls we'll pray, For they fell beneath our banner, for wearing of the gray. But a better day ia coming boys, in future rolling yearn, Which shall bring revenge and triumphand wipe away our tears When the azure cross shall float again, no more to pass away, Andthe tokeu of our victory be, "the wearing of the grey."

'And that he'll never he-mean hisself to be,' ehe replied indignantly, 'for he never did an on gentlemanly act in his life, and being President of the United Slates ai'nt no gentlemanly calling now, since rail splitters and tailors is tuck it up.' Just before she got up to leave me a gen tleman who had frequently seen her in the trendies at Petersburg, came in, and re cognizing her, spoke to her, but he had to recall to her memory the time and place where he had last seen her, before she could recollect him. 'O yes, I riccollecks you now," she said at length, but you see, you men all looks so different in your 't tore close' from what you did in your old dirty grey jackets in them trenches, that I don't know none on i ye at I5rt.' !

'I cooked the last mouthful of vittils he eat in North Carolina, and he shuck hands with me when he started, and said, 'good bye, Aunt Abby, you are true grit, and stick to your friends to the lat, hut's no more than I thought jou'd do.'" Aunt Abby arrived in B ileig'n by the firt train that eanu from Greensboro af ter Sherman had possession of the town. When she got out ul the depot a yankee soldier, standing ou the platform seeing an old wo lira n stumbling along loaded down witli hags and bundles, said to her good ualuredly : "Band up your traps,my grand-mother, ain't give us 3 our hand, i'il he.Jp you up these steps.' 'No you won't' was her abrupt reply. 'I ra.sed ray rigid hand once to a whole army of ye, but I'll never give it willingly to any one on you.'' She did not escape the fate of moat dwellers in the t raids of the 'great des troyer,' and lost her 'crap critter' which was picked up by Sherman's bummers.

'I've come here to git back my crap critter that some of your men has stole from .lie,' was her abrupt address to the official who sat in state 111 the room so lately vacated by (Jo. Vance. 'And pray, Madam, what is a crap crit ter ? s-aid he politely, oiTrmg her a- chair. 'No I'm not g wine to set down in this of fice till tnem as oughter be here, is back whar they belongs," said she contemptu ously pushing tiie chair aside. 'I've sot here many a time with Governor Vance and your betters, uud had many a talk with them, but I wants nothing from you but my crap critter that was stolen Thurs days a week ago by your thievish sol diers.' 'Well, Madam, if you will tell mo what a crap critter is, aud w here I am to look for it, I will do my best to have it restored to you whatever it may be.' Where are you to look for it ? Why look 111 your own cattle pens where you won't lind much that hai'nt been stole." 'Ah I understand now, its a cow that you've lost, can you identify it.' 'Lord sakes, who bat a yankee ever heard tell of tendiccr of a cran with n cow; It's a mule, man, that I'm alter, not b Cunningham, a o Foster B Howell, 1 i Andrew A Luther, 1 e N T Buckner, k r John A Heusley, k o a cow.

'I expected' bo said afterward, 'that she would beat least a little mohfied by my politft deportment, and even ventured to hope when I added, that if she liked to the plague of hopper-grasses in the f crip ter. But I've got to seo lawyer Bogers 'afore night and its 'bout time i was gwine downtown. You jest do what I tolls you 'bout writing to Governor Vance, and ax ing him 'bout that letter he 'gin mo to Ginral Lee, and told me not to let nobody, laugh at. He read it to me but I disre inember what was in it : I only knows that Ginral Lee said it wr.s a mighty smart letter, and seemed powerful forry he could'nt let Marcellus j tay at home that time cause he was afeard of the example.' I did write to Gov. Vance, and his reply was so characteristic of him, Gen. Lee and Aunt Abby, that I will close her story with the following extract from his letter. 'On one occasion Aunt Abby came to me and said her nephew Marcellus was in the hospital at Bichmond, and 'was gwine to die sure ef he did'nt git away from thar to whar somebody could nuss him ;' and promised ine solemnly that if I could get him a sick furlough tor thirty days, that she would return him at the end of that time, dead or alive ! Uion this I applied for the furlough, and gave my personal pledge that he should promptly return. She set off to Bichmond with my letter, and soon Aunt Abby and Marcellus came home rejoicing. It had all passed out of my mind, when lo ! at the end of sixty days into my omce popped Aunt Abby. She took a seat and stuck her feet up on the fender without a word being spoken. 'Weil,' said I, 'vou took Marcellus back did'nt vou ?' 'No I did'nt' said she. 'that child's got the worst coff ever you seed, and I am come to git you to write 'em that he ain't able to go back.' 'The mischief you have ! How do I know it ?' 'Why I tell ye so ; do you dare to 'spute my word ?' 'Well but I don't know it ; I've not seen him, and I can't certify to anything which is not within my own knowledge. And be sides, I'm not a doctor.' 'But they'll believe anything you tell 'em. ' 'Yes, but I can't tell thera a lie.' 'It taint no lie I tell ye ! If you could see that boy coff it would make you sick ! Sunt up with your foolishness and just write to 'cm what I tell ye; tell 'em I say he aint fitten to go back.' 'Well, well,' said I in despair, 'who shall I write to ?' "Write to General Lee, I don't want no botherment with none of them officers. I seized a pen and wrote about as fol lows : ' 'Genebal : The ubiquitous, indef: ti r able and inevitable Mrs. Houso will hi.n l you this. She aks me to say that she says, that her nephew Marcellus of 1 ev ident, N. C. T's. now at home, thirty days over his leave, is still unable to att-ud to duty. She says he has a most distressing "coff." I h.we not graduated in medicine, nor have I seen this patient, but judging irom the symptoms as detailed by Mrs. House, I venture the opinion that Marcel lus, like his great namesake has his thoughts "bent on peace." I fear that the air here is too far South for his lungs, and earnestly recommend that more salu brious atmosphere of the Rappahannock ; and that when comfortably established time, he be made to take for his "koff" a compound of sulphur, saltpetre and char-, coal, to be copiously administered by in halation. I should be happy to lofirn the result of this prescription, and have the honor to be Gereral, Your ob't. ?ervt. Z. B. Vaxce.' ' I read this letter over to her in a loud and pompous tone. She was delighted with it, ami slapped me ou the shoulder saying, 'Lord bless ye, honey, that's ir, why could'nt you a done that at fust with oui all this foolishness ?' As I folded and addressed the letter, I said to Ivor, that thvre ?;?3?3 rrtiuy jjw pl$ ia tLe- array who did'nt like me, au i THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, Hon.
