He says: "I have been urged by several friends to send you the inclosed poem, written down by myself from Mr. Lincoln's lips; and although it may not be new to all of your readers, the events of the last week give it now a peculiar interest: "The circumstances under which this copy was written are these: I was with the President alone one evening in his room, during the time I was painting my large picture at the White House last year. He presently threw aside his pen and papers, and began to talk to me of Shakespeare. He sent little 'Tad,' his son, to the library to bring a copy of the plays, and then read to me several of his favorite passages, showing genuine appreciation of the great poet. Relapsing into a sadder strain, he laid the book aside, and leaning back in his chair, said: "There is a poem which has been a great favorite with me for years, which was first shown to me when a young man by a friend, and which I afterwards saw and cut from a newspaper and learned by heart. I would, he continued, 'give a great deal to know who wrote it, but I have never been able to ascertain.' "Then, half closing his eyes, he repeated to me the lines which I enclose to you. Greatly pleased and interested, I told him I would like, if ever an opportunity occurred, to write them down from his lips. He said he would some time try to give them to me. A few days afterwards he asked me to accompany him to the temporary studio of Mr. Swayne the Sculptor, who was making a bust of him at the Treasury Department. While he was sitting for the bust, I was suddenly reminded of the poem, and said to him that then would be a good time to dictate it to me. He complied, and sitting upon some books at his feet, as nearly as I can remember, I wrote the lines down one by one, from his lips." New York: Published by Wm. A. Pond & Co., No. 547 Broadway. Boston: O. Ditson & Co. Chicago: Root & Cady. Milwaukee: H.N. Hempstead. Cincinnati: C.Y. Fonda. Entered according to Act of Congress, A.D. 1862, by A.

Oh! why should the spirit of mortal be proud? Like a swift fleeting meteor, a fast flying cloud, A flash of the lightning, a break of the wave, He <hr /> 3 passeth from life to his rest in the grave! The leaves of the oak, and the willow shall fade, Be scatter'd around and together be laid; And the young and the old, and the low and the high, Shall moulder to dust, together shall lie. The <hr /> 4 infant and mother attended and lov'd, The mother and infant's affection who prov'd, The husband that mother and infant who bless'd, Each, all, are away to their dwellings of rest! <hr /> 4 2. The hand of the king, that the sceptre hath borne; The brow of the priest that the mitre hath worn; The eye of the sage, and the heart of the brave, Are hidden and lost in the depths of the grave. The peasant, whose lot was to sow and to reap, The herdsman, who climbed with his goats up the steep; The beggar, who wandered in search of his bread Have faded away like the grass that we tread. So the multitude goes, like the flow'r or the weed That withers away to let others succeed; So the multitude comes, even those we behold, To repeat ev'ry tale that has often been told! 3. For we are the same, our father's have been; We see the same sights our father's have seen; We drink the same stream and view the same sun, And run the same course our father's have run. The thoughts we are thinking our father's would think; From the death we are shrinking our fathers would shrink; To the life we are clinging, they also would cling, But it speeds for us all--like a bird on the wing! They loved! but the story we cannot unfold; They scorned! but the heart of the haughty is cold; They grieved! but no wail from their slumber will come; They joyed! but the tongue of their gladness is dumb! 4. They died!--aye! they died; we things that are now, That walk on the turf that lies over their brow, And make in their dwellings a transient abode, Meet the things that they met, on their pilgrimage road. Yea! hope and despondency, pleasure and pain, We mingle together in sunshine and rain; And the smile and the tear--the song and the dirge, Still follow each other like surge upon surge. 'Tis the wink of an eye, 'tis the draught of a breath, From the blossom of health to the paleness of death; From the gilded saloon, to the bier and the shroud!

My true love is a soldier, Upon the battle ground, And if he ever should be lost, I hope he may be found. The draft it was that took him, And it was a heavy blow, It took him for a Conscript, But he didn't want to go. Chorus: He's gone--he's gone--As meek as any lamb, They took him, yes, they took him To the Arms of Abraham. by Sep. Winner. 30 cents. Published by Sep. Winner, 933 Spring Garden Street. Cincinnati, J. Church, Jr. New York, Wm. A. Pond & Co. Boston, J.C. Haynes & Co. Philadelphia, J.E. Gould. <hr /> 3 HE'S GONE TO THE ARMS OF ABRAHAM. COMIC BALLAD. BY SEP. WINNER. 1. My true love is a soldier In the army now today, It was the cruel war that made him Have to go away; The "draft" it was that took him, And it was a "heavy blow," It took him for a Conscript, But he didn't want to go. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1863, by Sep. Winner, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. <hr /> 4 CHORUS. He's gone--he's gone--As meek as any lamb, They took him, yes, they took him, to the Arms of Abraham. He's gone--he's gone--As meek as ny lamb, They took him, yes, they took him, to the Arms of Abraham. 2. He's gone to be a soldier, With a knapsack on his back, A fightin' for the <hr /> 5 Union, And a livin' on "hard tack." Oh, how he look'd like Christian, In the Pilgrim's Progress shown, With a bundle on his shoulders, But with nothin' of his own. Chorus. 3. Oh, should he meet a rebel, A pointin' with his gun, I hope he may have courage To "take care of number one." If I were him, I'd offer The fellow but a dram; For what's the use of dying Just for Jeff or Abraham? Chorus.--He's gone, &c. 4. Indeed to be a soldier, It is so very hard, For when a fellow has his fun They poke him on the guard: One day he shot a rooster, The captain thought it wrong; And so to punish him they made Him picket all night long. Chorus.--He's gone, &c. 5. I haven't got a lover now, I haven't got a beau; They took him as a raw recruit, But mustered him, I know: He's nothing but a private, And not for war inclined, Although a hard old nut to crack A colonel you might find. Chorus.--He's gone, &c. 6. My true love is a soldier, Upon the battle-ground, And if he ever should be lost I hope he may be found; If he should fall a fightin' Upon the battle-plain, I hope some other chap may come And pick him up again. Chorus.--He's gone, &c. <hr /> Something New. Winner's patent self-instructing key-board scale, for the piano or Melodeon; Price one Dollar, (sent by mail for $1.25.)

The immense sale of this answer to the popular song "When this Cruel War is Over" is enough to recommend it without further notice. It has been sung nightly at the Eureka Theatre, in San Francisco, by the popular vocalist Sig. Abecco, amid unbounded applause. The sentiment is good, and the melody beautiful. Chorus.--Yes! I would the war were over, Would the cruel work were done, With our country reunited, And the many States in one. Maryland, my Maryland. 25 [cts] With Union words. Arranged in an easy and effective manner by Sep. Winner. The sixtieth thousand of this pleasing song just issued. This edition is by far the best published, being arranged in a very showy style, and not difficult. Ten hundred thousand, brave and free, Maryland, my Maryland, Are ready now to strike with thee, Maryland, my Maryland. A million more still yet agree To help thee hold thy liberty; For thou shalt ever, ever be Maryland, our Maryland. Isabel, Lost Isabel! 30 [cts] Or, the new "Remember Me." Sentimental Ballad, by Sep. Winner. The subject of this charming song is from the world-renowned story of East Lynne. The melody is very sweet and musical, of a classic order, intended for a good singer. My thoughts still follow after thee, And wander here and there, Like thistle-down in autumn days Upon the chilly air. Since thou art gone, fair Isabel, Whate'er thy dreams may be, Are there not hours in which again Thou must remember me, Isabel, lost Isabel? Her Bright Smile Haunts me still. 25 [cts] New edition; one sharp; easy arrangement. By Sep. Winner. This beautiful song in the original key of Ab (four flats) being rather high in pitch for an ordinary voice, and quite difficult to execute, finds a much more extensive sale in the present form. He's gone to the Arms of Abraham. 25 [cts] Comic war ballad, with chorus, by Sep. Winner. A pretty tune, with machine poetry. The melody is stolen from "Secesh," being a version of the "Bonnie Blue Flag." My true love is a soldier Upon the battle-ground, And if he ever should be lost, I hope he may be found. The draft it was that took him, and it was a heavy blow; It took him for a Conscript, But he didn't want to go. Chorus.--He's gone--he's gone--As meek as any lamb; They took him, yes, they took him To the arms of Abraham. Parting Whispers. (vocal Duett.) 30 [cts] This beautiful song is by Alice Hawthorne. The melody is very sweet and pathetic, and has a touching effect when sung by well-blending voices. Farewell, farewell, farewell, farewell! 'Tis sad, 'tis sad to sever: My parting whisper is to thee, My heart is with thee ever. Battle of Gettysburg. 50 [cts] By J.C. Beckel. A descriptive production of the best class, introducing many new and original effects; moderately difficult. The advance of the armies, followed by the tremendous firing of the rebels, answered by the Union forces, is faithfully portrayed; and the grand combined attack of the whole army under General Meade is very effective; the whole concluding with the cry of "Victory!" mingled with the strains of the ever-glorious Star-Spangled Banner, producing a brilliant and happy termination. Our Sweethearts at Home. 30 [cts] Song and chorus, by Sep. Winner. A pleasing and cheerful ballad, in the popular vein. A song for the family circle. The melody is lively, and arranged in an easy and flowing style. Chorus. Our sweethearts at home, be we ever so far, Live still in our hearts, wherever we are; Away, far away, though wildly we roam, We dream, ever dream, of our sweethearts at home. Banner March. 25 [cts] This March, by Sep. Winner, introduces the popular melody of "The Captain with his Whiskers:" it is very pretty, quite easy, and immensely popular. Danish Dance. 25 [cts] By Sep. Winner. New arrangement of this renowned polka-waltz, as used by the Philadelphia and New York bands. Bluebird Echo Polka. 30 [cts] By Mrs. Mary Morrison. A sprightly and cheerful piece, amusing as well as instructive; altogether, a good parlor pastime. Picnic Waltz. 15 [cts] By Jos. H. Porter. Easy teaching piece, suitable for a pupil in second quarter: pretty melody, in three-four time. Surrender of Vicksburg March. 25 [cts] By Mrs. Mary Morrison. A brilliant and effective composition, of the popular cast, with a beautiful cross-hand movement and very attractive melody. Nettle Schottische. 25 [cts] By Prof. J.E. Kochersperger. A good and graceful melody, in a sound and correct style, with an easy bass. Recommended for ordinary performers. Comet Waltz. 30 [cts] A first-class composition, by Sep. Winner, in the composer's own familiar style,--one of those peculiar melodies that make a permanent impression upon the mind and which we sing at times unconsciously. Flash Schottische. 30 [cts] By Sep. Winner. A brilliant composition, light and showy, not very difficult, but excellent for practice, to attain a fearless and graceful execution. Home Polacca Quadrilles. 30 [cts] By Wm. Coleman. A pretty collection of melodies, introducing "Sweet Home" as the grand finale. Each figure of this celebrated dance is given in full with the music. Copies of the above pieces sent by mail (postpaid). Address Sep. Winner, Music Publisher, 933 Spring Garden Street, Philadelphia.
