UIAII,
DUALKa IN
THE DAYS OF CHIVALRY.
They railed us tentitnsntal
My friend of a year at?o,
Ileeatiae we loved the starlight,
O'er tome tale of the olden time,
Told by a master spirit
In pure and perfect rhyme.
We may be sentimental,
Vet who but such would see
The fullest, truest beauty
In sky and llower and tree,
Who reach the poet's meaning,
What soul would Mud its part
In tales of bygone sges
But the sentimental heart ?
So, by our last year's friendship
Your nardon now I pray
That my thoughts are but the echoes
i;augtit from your latest inj.
And as your knight and lady
Through many trials past,
And, after all their troubles
Found happiness at Inst.
So shall my knight and lady
Through all their trials prove
In spite of opposition,
Now faithfully they love.
The summer day was ending,
Hank the sun into the west
When I laid my weary body
Upon a couch to rest.
Fre long the dew of slumber
Weighed down each tired eye.
And I dreamed in strangest fashion
Of the days of chivalry.
II
I dwelt within a castle,
A castle by the sea,
I was an only daughter
And my father, stern was he;
I knew no friend or playmate
Cave nature kind and true,
And 'neath her gentle teaching
From child to woman grew.
Ill
My father was a warrior,
Grim, fearless, dnrk and tall ;
And often did his foeman
Beneath his broad sword fall.
He slew all who opposed him
8ave one as bold as he,
Who evermore escaped him,
His bitterest enemy,
IV
For many years in bnttle
My father vainly tried
To slay his haughty foeman,
And gain his lands so wide.
But where the light was thickest
Lord Ronald fought unharmed,
While others fell nround him
Lord Ronald's life seemed charmed
V
The winter winds were wailing
Through every lealless tree,
Through crack and crevice blowing
Thev swaved the tapestry.
When, clattering o'er ihe drawbridge
Into the rush-strewn ball,
Tramp! trampl my father's vassels!
1 knew each quick foot-fall.
VI
Then to the hall I hastened,
And there found every one
Exulting o'er a prisoner,
My father's foeman's son,
A youth whose shining armor
Gleaned in the gray, cold light,
My father's captive taken
In honorable fight.
VI 1
I was a lonely maiden
And he was fair to see,
And ere a week had vanished
My heart was gone from me;
He never said he loved me
For honor tied his tongue,
But oh 1 what need of language?
We loved and we were young.
VIII
We seldom spoke together
For we were kept apnrt,
But love bridged o'er the distance
In either loving heart;
And when we met each other
We spoku through glance or sigh,
Love quietly learns and uses
The language of the eye.
IX
Ere long there came a herald
Up to the castle door ;
He came with heavy tidings,--Lord
Ronald's life was o'er. -My
father.strangely softened
By his captives tear filled eye,
Flung wide the castlet portals
And gave him lilierty
X
A year passed slowly o'er lit ;
The herald came once more
And stood, demanding entrance,
Outside the castle door.
He came in friendly fashion,
And proffered peace from one
Who had been my father's captive,
Lord Ronald's only ton.
XI
"My father"--ran the metsage,
"Ever was your bitterestioe,
But he, with hit forefathers,
Sleeps, dust to dust, below.
After these years of warefare,
Let peace bet ween us be.
And teal it w ith your daughter,
And let her wed with me."
XII
Hot glowed my falher't anger,
And stern was his reply
"No peace shall le between us,
We tight until we die."
My fate teemed sealed forever,
And, ere a week was sped
I was promised to another
Whom 1 viewed with hate and dread
XIII
Then time Hew all too swiftly,
I could not make it stay ;
Each hour brought so much nearer
My hated bridal day.
And when the tun rose brightly
O'er that eventful morn,
He ne'er snw bride more ghastly
More dismal and forlorn.
XIV
The moments grew to hours,
The bride-groom lingered long;
At last, outside the castle
A trumpet sounded strong.
Then, clattering o'er the drawbridge
Into the rush-strewn hall
Oh! who was that liefore me,--
N stately, dnrk and tall.
XV
"My Iird !" thn cried he proudly,
'1 he lightening in hit glance
"This morn 1 slew my rival
With this, my trusty lance;
And I have won your daughter
In fair and open tight,
I battled bravely for her.
And the it mine, by right."
XVI
I knew not what good spirit
Within my fatliermoved,
But that same day he gave me
Unto the one I loved.
And in the years that followed
Our lives ran smoothly on,
We lived and loved together,
Our two hearts beat as one.
XVII
I walked, the moon shown brightly
In patches on the floor;
I was again a maiden
Of eighten ninety-four.
But often in the twilight
The remembrance comes to me
Of the dream 1 dreamed so strangely
Of the days of chivalry.

To the Sons of Confederate Veterans in
North Carolina.
On the 30th day of last June, in
the citv of Richmond, Va , the
Cam pa of the Sons of Confederate
eterutis then organized were
funned into an association to bo
called "The United Sons of Con
federate Veterans," tho same to be
f;overned by a constitution and h'"
aws similar to that of "The Unitei.
Confederate Veterans," and hav.ng
departments, divisions, brigades and
camps t n (lei a general head.
The btate of .North Carolina not
having a sutlicient number of camps
to form a division, Hen. J. E 15.
Stuart, in accordance with the
constitution, appointed a Major
General tor the division ot North
Carolina, whoso duty should be to
have command of the camps already
formed, to organize others wherever
it can lie done, and to put forth an
earnest effort for the good of the
cause, to the ei.d, that there may be
instilled into the sons of Confederate
veterans in North Carolina, a proper
veneration for tho spit it and glory
of their fathcre ; and bring them in
to association with our organization,
that they may aid in accomplishing
the noble and glorious purpose for
which our organization was formed.
We believe that there exists in
the bosom of every son of a Con
federate soldier a love and patriot
ism for the holv cause his father
held 6o deur, which needs but to be
stirred to bring him to join heart
and hands with those who seek to
keep ever fresh the hallowed
memory of North Carolina's noble
sons wtio uu a thousand nameless
craves : to koeD ever ereen the turf
Ir i n
which marks the last resting place
of those known to ns: to lend kirullv
aid to the survivors of many hard
fought battles who need our assist
ance ; to niinictcr to tho wants of
widows and orphans; and to build
enduring monuments to the memory
of our intrepid heroes. This is in
deed our purpose, and tor the ac
complishment of this our sister
States have almost perfect organiza
tions. Shall North Carolina be behind?
Shall this Slate, which of all others
of the South sent more men to the
civil war, be lacking in this woik.
It there is a cmp in your motion
join it at once; it not and there isi
camp ot Confederate veterans secure
the aid ot its commaudtr and
adjutant, and form a camp ; write to
the division headquarters, and you
will be furnished with information

The Cubans Sink a Gunboat.
A dispatch received from Havana
on Monday says :
Though the insurgents have no
navy they do not hesitate when an
opportunity offers to attack the
Spanish warships. The latest in
stance of this kind occurred yester
day morning whcD a Spanish gun
boat was sunk by means of a torpe
do and many of her crew LiUed.
A detachment of rebels had made
an attack npon the forts at Guamo,
some distance np tho Canto river,
province of Santiago do Cuba, and
the Spanish troops tearing that they
would not le able to hold out asked
for asbistance from Manzanillo, on
the coast.
Saturday night the gunboats Con
tinella and Relampago left Manza
nillo under orders to ascend the
river aud protect tho forts. All
went well until the gunboats were
opposite a place called Mango, when
the lielanipago strnck a torpedo.
Iustantjly there was a terrific explo
sion, ihe hull of the Relampugo
was torn open and the vessel went
down. Those on board of the ship
who were uninjured jumped into
the river and ewara tor the 'kjnti
oella. The Centinella's boats picked np
the survivors under a heavy fire
from the rebels. The Centinolla
then returned to Manzanillo. The
commander of the Centiuella was
seriously wounded.
The official report of the affair
states that the commander, second
engineer aud throe sailors of the
lUlauipago were killed, and her
boatswain, pilot and four sailors
were wounded. The boatswain of
the Oe-itinella was killed and her
pilot, second engineer, gunner aud
six sailors were wounded.
Both gunboats were small ves
sels, intended principally tor river
service, aud they did not carry
large crews.

Fearful Explosion.
A special lrom Mobile, Ala., of
January 19th says: About 2 0 clock
this afternoon the planing mill ol
the L'ixio Mill Company, located
ahont live miles abovo tno city on
Mobile river, caught lira tnd wa!
totally consumed, there being no
appliances sntliciont to coimj with
the flamei. Tho tire spread to the
dry kiln, and it was also consumed,
witli a large quantity of lumber,
both in the kilns and In the yard
The saw mill was saved. The plant
was valued at about $50,0)0, and
was insured for about $25,000.
During tho progress of tho flro
this afternoon sparks from the mill
set fire to the city magazine, which
is located across tho Louisville and
Nashville railroad track from the
mill plants. At 5 o'clock residents
of this city wero startled by a tro
mendotis explosion which broke
glass in many houses in tho north
em part of tho city and as far out
as tho convent in Stimtnerville.
about nine miles from tho scone of
the explosion. Mon at work on tho
tower of tho convent were almost
shaken off and in some parts of tho
city chimneys wero shaken down.
At tho timeof tho explosion there
were 00,000 pound! of powder and
300 pounds of dynatnito stored in
the magazine. Tho air In the vi
cinity was tilled with flying bricks,
and 1 nuinlHirof cottages were blown
to pieces by tho terrific explosion,
which was distinctly heard at
Spring Hill, seven miles west of
tho city and at least ten or twelve
miles from the explosion. The
lateness of tho hour at which the
explosion occurred, the Inaccessibil
lty ot tho place and 11 1 tr h t-f all made
it impossible to-night to verity all
the reports as to the casualties to
human life.
Mr. (twin, bookkeeper of the
Dixie Mill Company was slightly
hurt by flying bricks, and Bob
Knight, colored, is reported to have
been seriously injured in the same
manner. The injuries to thtse two
men aro tho only ones reported that
have lieen verified, but there are
reports tithe effect that two ne
groes were blown to atoms, and
that several others who wero en
gaged in taking goods to a place of
safety from a store about a block
from tho magazine about tho time
the explosion occurred are more or
less dangerously injured.
There are two smaller magsziues
near the largo one which exploded,
which are said to bo filled with ex
plosives, but in an interview to
night, John 11. Moore, keeper of
the magazines, said that he did not
apprehend any further danger.
It is said sparks set tiro to the
roof of the largo magazine and that
tho blaze that followed was seen by
some gentlemen who immediately
ran about giving the alarm, and
warned the people living in the cot
tages near by to flee for their lives.
It is said that tho act of these men,
whoso names could not be learned,
saved a number of lives.
Every telegraph wire going north
out of the city was blown down,
and all business for points north
had to go by way of New Orleans.
The Louisville and Nashville tracks
were obstiucted by the tire, and all
trains arriving since 2 o'clock have
been delayed.
