Lost to Sight," etc. EDITOR'S TABLE. We are willing to concede to Mr. Sinley, who has produced some very beautiful songs, the authorship of the second line in the quotation, "Thou ever wilt remain;" but inasmuch as the other line, "Though lost to sight, to memory dear," was first published nearly two hundred years ago, we must decline to believe that he could have written a line which appeared in print more than a century before Mr. Sinley was born. And, inasmuch as the poem of which the first line in the quotation was originally a part, contains only two stanzas, we give it entire, feeling well assured that its touching beauty and tender pathos will meet the warmest admiration of the readers of THE MAGAZINE OF POETRY. This poem was written by Ruthven Jenkyns, and was first published in England in the Greenwich Magazine for Mariners in the year 1701-one hundred and ninety years ago. G. L. E. ADAMS. "Nearer My God to Thee." Sarah Flower Adams was the second daughter of Benjamin Flower, editor and proprietor of the Cambridge (England) Intelligencer. She was born February 22, 1805, and died in 1849. "Nearer My God to Thee" founded on Jacob's dream, recorded in Genesis, and in 1841 was contributed to a Unitarian collection of "Hymns and Anthems," edited by William J. Fox. Few hymns have such general approval, yet so severely criticised as the work of a Unitarian. The compilers of the Baptist HymnBook (England), were so ill pleased with the omission of the name of Christ, that they secured the services of Rev. Arthur T. Russell to make, according to their idea, the verses perfect by the addition of the last verse. Others, with the same intent, changed "a cross" to "the cross." It has been adopted by all Christian sects, and translated into various languages. Adapted to the tune of "Bethany," Prof. Hitchcock relates that as he and his traveling companions rounded their way down the foot-hills of Mount Lebanon in 1870, they came upon a group of fifty Syrian students who were singing in Arabic this beautiful hymn to this familiar tune. THOMPSON. "Music in Camp." John Randolph Thompson was a native of Richmond, Va., having been born there in 1823. He died in 1872. He was educated at the University of Virginia, studied law, and was admitted to the Bar in 1845, but forsook it for the more congenial pursuit of literature. He contributed largely to the Southern Literary Messenger, which he edited from 1847 to 1861. During the Civil War he went to England, where he contributed to Blackwood's Magazine and other 117 periodicals. He was afterward engaged on the editorial staff of the New York Evening Post. E. S. FINCH. "The Blue and the Gray." This poem, which appeared originally in the New York Tribune, is founded upon an incident that occurred at Columbus, Miss., on Decoration Day, 1867, when flowers were strewn upon the graves of Confeder- . ate and Federal soldiers alike. This poem has often given rise to dispute, it having been frequently confounded with J. H. McNaughton's "The Blue and the Gray." In the spring of 1866 Mr. McNaughton wrote a song which he called "The Blue and the Gray," a title he took pains to have copyrighted. This song was set to music and became popular. In September, 1867, a spirited poem with the same title, "The Blue and the Gray," by Judge Francis M. Finch, was published in The Atlantic. The two poems, with a single title, were frequently confounded, and in self-defense Mr. McNaughton prepared to bring suit against Messrs. Ticknor & Fields for infringement of copyright. In a letter to Mr. McNaughton the publishers of The Atlantic declared the two poems resembled one another only in title and general idea. The outcome of the controversy was friendly; but it should be remembered, in fairness to Mr. McNaughton, that his “The Blue and the Gray" was printed first. THE EDITOR'S TABLE.
