HON. DAVID F. HOLLISTER.


Mr. Hollister was born in Washington, Conn., March 31, 1826. He fitted for College under the instruction of William Cothren, in Woodbury, entered Yale College, and graduated in 1851. He immediately commenced the study of law in Mr. Cothren's office, was admitted to the Litchfield County Bar in 1852, and immedi- ately opened an office at Salisbury, Conn., where he practiced for a time with good success. But seeing a more inviting field at Bridgeport, he removed thither, where he still resides, in the full practice of his profession. Soon after he settled at Bridgeport, he was elected Judge of Probate for that District, which office he held for several years. Upon the passage of the U. S. Internal Revenue law, he was appointed Collector of the 4th Collection · District of the State, which office he still continues to fill.

POETICAL ADDRESS *


TO THE RETURNED SOLDIERS, AT TOWN HALL, WOODBURY, WEDNES- DAY EVENING, AUG. 16, 1865.


BY ALONZO NORTON LEWIS.


King Solomon, known as the wisest of men,


Found " three things," nay "four," too deep for his ken.


Without stopping to name them, (you know what they were,) There is one thing, to-night, I can't get thro' my hair ! It is this : why a man, without laurels and scars


Was chosen to welcome you home from the wars. (Or rather receive, in behalf of the fair These guests, who, to-night, are our pris'ners of war.) It should have been one, who, in Freedom's.dread van, Has stood up at the front, and not " sent a man !" It should have been one, who, in Battle's fierce ire' Himself has received the baptism of fire ! Such an one am not I :- the rod's peaceful whack, Not the cannon's deep boom and rifle's shrill crack, Has rung on my ear thro' the four weary years That have shrouded the Nation in mourning and tears ! To " teach young ideas," not soldiers, to " shoot," Has been my employ-I ought, then, to be mute, While you, whose grim faces are bronzed by the sun Of the South, where battles and forts have been won, Describe what you've seen-tell what you have done !


But why was I chosen to welcome you here To all these fair faces, to all this good cheer ? I have it-'tis this! Since the sex men call " weak," In public, by Paul, are forbidden to speak, They have hit upon me, not for my heroism, But because, when you went, I-staid at home with 'em !

HISTORY OF ANCIENT WOODBURY.


I envy you, soldiers, your welcome to-night ;- Fair cheeks have grown fairer ; eyes dimmed have grown bright At your coming-yes ! one and all welcome you here, And would (if 'twere proper,) most heartily cheer In the midst of my speech-not at what I'm reciting, But for you-your bold deeds-your marching, and fighting ; Of which we, your admirers, are proud, and delight in ! Yes ! soldiers-brave veterans of "Company I;" I dare to assert, (what none can deny,) Of all the battalions that rushed to the fray, There were none that knew better to fight and obey, There were none that loved better the Battle's dread noise, Than the "SECOND "-especially Woodbury Boys !


'Tis well, on a festive occasion like this To think of the loved ones whose faces we miss. Black bonnets and dresses are worn here to-night For those who went in, bnt came not from the fight ! Tall pine trees are rustling, magnolias wave Over many a hero and soldier-boy's grave ! From the "Father of Waters " to Potomac's strand, Ay ! down to the banks of the far Rio Grande, The soil of the South is dotted with graves Of nameless, yet noble and canonized braves ! O Liberty ! throned in thy temple on high, Say-is it not sweet for one's country to die ?* Say-POLLY, and ORTON ;- (if spirits can hear,) Was the gift that ye laid on the Altar, too dear ? Is a land like our own snatched from ruin's abyss No joy to your souls in the region of bliss ? And say, O Columbia ! canst thou forget Till the sun in the West forever shall set, The brave " boys in blue" who fell in the strife Where a Nation in arms was struggling for life ? No! Justice forbids it-a thousand times No ! While grass shall grow green, and water shall flow, We'll cherish, brave martyrs, your glorious names, And your story shall ever be Freedom's and Fame's !


* " Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori !"


+ Died at Alexandria.


# Died of wounds received at the Battle of Winchester.

The following lines, recited by Rev. Wm. T. Bacon, editor of the Derby Transcript, at the dedication of the Soldier's Monu- ment, Sept. 1871, were received too late to appear in the appro- priate place :


-


At my desk, 'mid a pother of things of all kinds, Democratic, Republican, all sorts of minds ; Books, papers, types, devils, all the people are muss'd with, And everything else that an editor's curs'd with -- Came this note from your President, reading- "So, so, Mr. Poet, we want you to ' hoe out a row !'"


" To hoe out a row " -- in this beautiful place ?--- These vallies, these hills, all this grandeur and grace ? This sky looking down here, as no where on earth ?--- And all the swift thoughts that the picture gives forth ?--- To hoe out a row here ? Methinks, then t'were well It be well hoe'd. How well hoe'd, that others must tell.


To " hoe out a row ?" Methinks some here have stood, And " hoe'd out a row," where the harvest was blood ! Clouds gather, war thunders, the fife-wake and drum, And pale-quivering lips whisper "foe," and " they come ;" The onset, the grapple, the shout, and the yell, The rattle of cannon and scream of the shell ; And all the mad hell of such horrible fray- Stop, boys, we'll not dwell on such theme here to day.


But we'll speak of their memories softened by time, We'll speak of our brave, and for them weave the rhyme ; Of those brows, glory wreath'd, where light never shall fade, But shine on, like the stars, on that flag they obeyed


Ah, the mother's fond thought of her long-absent boy, The father's proud hope, and the young maiden's joy ; The picture she bears through the wearisome day, And her dream, through the night, of her lad far away. O, how hallow'd that image that memory keeps, Of her hero, she thinks of with pride while she weeps !

HISTORY OF ANCIENT WOODBURY.


When History shall write of those names, which, like stars, Shine out on the world from its holiest wars; When a just fame shall trumpet their memories forth, Who have lived, and have died, as the salt of the earth ; Then our dead shall be treasured on scroll and in lay, Till earth's last sun has set, and the stars fade away !
