Light " the lamps, hang Gus The iertsl banners
Sic J.y hip ngntly through The crowded street,

BTeaihe compliments around the victor's fest.

Twire the greer bsy leaves for The ghost of glory,
AZ though the spectre we're a living tnipg;
SurSIecn these shades sbrin ed 10 historic story,
Ard bid their hands the nit-ed shadows wiring
Their 10y 81 teajs, upgrudging, peured the shower
or generous blood TO fiuctfy the earth
Where the young grain OF freedoms harvest hour
Promised long oblivion OF past oearth
Lift the bright wine cup leave dregs behind you-
Pledge the full goblet 10 the wrath OF Peace;
Let the decked phan,om's gala trappogs blind you
To the dark bct Of youthful hopes decease.
MOI touch !. not; there's henbane in the challce:
Dash into fragments the decetful cup
Through whose bright treachery warm words grown
cailoUs,
Send the thick lees OF disappointment up.
Place while these swNthy skinned proud marching
With Victory shining on their faces come
From Their hot promenade in sunny regions,
To bring glded clay feet image home,
Place to those bronzed brave enl their hearts were
With power to food with light the breaking morn;
Rain fowcrs upon them, though their hands uplifted
Have gathered peoples and passed by the corn.
shou, for them! they have earned it, but forget not
The unscconpiished work they leave behind
Deferred, but stu unquenched, hopes that met not
Their pledged fulhment from that Sphinx Ike mind.
SCOUT OIL oOuDL not the WOrcb IN secret written
Two rival Cassrs, touched with deaths increase,
Find their milo hearts with human suffering smtten,
And turn their thoughts to Liberty and Peace.
TIE BALLAD OF RAYMOND THE BRAVE.
Juei beginning his lunch was our editor bold
Just preparing TO stuff young puet in
When "1he Aus'riaps conner. . Was (Uld,
And be stayed not TO wsi. for bullet I'M
Over hedges and bitches poor Ray mond did sprawl,
Az esVuIv IIvAa She austrian bnbos;
Far away did he hasten from Man !ua's "kenawl,"
And avoided tho "Mlncios ebows'
Well he knew 'twould be useless for quarter to beg
From the Crosts who their captives margle;
So, DER "Legnano's Bridgeheadn he coon threw leg,
Cutting cross lots to make ''trsngle."
Well il WAC for poor Raymond betmes to retreat.
Or his ''ciazenship' had proved sinister;
Spite OF "Bew power in Eogaad" OF exc "foregn feet
Or 'the most cordial csbinet mn.sterl'
Over vineyards and cornfelds, slluyas and sseriles
He made tracks for the nearest French stations;
and he thought-"in the face of thousand perils"
Of"Psris' aud observation-disclosures
Over highways and by ways he fes like the air
Or as bankrupt would FIJI from a creditor;
And his name and bis race on s'Hlsio.ical square,
Will confirm him-a leading ediiorl
Think OF this, az ye write, young of the 7snes
How your leader came near being leededi
And let Ray mond be glad that tell in my rhymes,
How bis foot lines the Dutch columns headed
