MONTERREY.

By CHARLES fENSo HOFFMAN.
We were not manv--wc who stood
Before the iron slcet that day
Yet many n gallant spirit would
Give half his years il he then could
Have been with US 1T Monterey.
Now here, now there, the shot, il hailed
In deadly drifts of fiery spray,
Yet not n single soldier guall"d
When wounded comrades round them wailet
Their dying shout at Monterey.
And on-still on our column kept
Thro' walls Of fame lis whitening way;
Whcr fell the dead, tile living slept.
Still charging on the guns which swept
The slippery streets oi Monterey.
The foe himself rccolcd aghasi,
When, striking where the strongest lar,
We swooped his banking batteries past,
And Drawing full their murdcrous blast,
Siormcd home the towers OF Monterey.
Our banner on those ;urrcts waves
And there our ev,nin. buglcs play;
Where orarsc bourhs above their graves
Keen green the memory oi the braves
Who fought and fell a, Monterey.
We are not many--we who pressed
Beside the brave who fell that day;
But who OF US has no, cont SD
He'd rather share their warrior rest,
Than not have been at Monterey.
