SMOKE.
By =. H. C.

We lie by the campfire at evening,
With our backs TO the roaring blaze,
And the smoke from our fragrant brier-wood
Floating up in feecy haze
Floating up like white-robed spirit,
Then away on the evening breeze;
We list TO the red flames roaring,
And the murmuring of the trees.
Now and then, as he nears the campfire,
We hear the lone sentry's pace,
Now and then, from the clouds above us,
Beams an old, familiar face
Beams the face of loved ones far away
We have left in the Land. Of the Free,
And the hum Of fireside voices comes
Likea pleasant melody.
And the dear old freside faces
Go slowly floating by,
OF father, wife, and mother,
And the maid with the love-ht eye;
And our little ones sun lit faces,
As they float on the misty air,
Seem looking out with a childish awe
From the mazes of curly hair.
Come the faces Of grandsires hoary,
Looking down with martial pride
On those who uphold the banner .
For which they fought and died.
The freight reddens the pillows,
And we see, in its upper swirls,
Bright eyes that are ever Watching,
Meath showers of golden eurls.
And we think ofthe Joyous welcome
They will give the returning brave,
When fhaxy lri n o. tbe fao IN trirrnnh
They sent US forth to save.
As the smoke, in its vayward faneies,
Wreaths round our head, we see
Bright visions of soldiers laurels,
And brides that are yette be;
And we think of the feRer-deeked arches,
When the nations tears shall cease,
And the white-robed spirit aboveus
Floats North like soft wing'd Peace
But the smoke has grown fainter and fainte
And has gone with the wind to play,
And we hear but the campfire roaring
Wesee but the branches sway.
The whip-o'-wilrs vail through the forest
Comes eehoing weird and low
And mournfnl thoughts upon US
Are stealing sad and slow; @
For we think of the fallen comrades
We have left on the battle-plain,
And, pSrchanee, like them. our lov'd ones
We never may see again.
And many tear drop finds its way
Down the cheek of warrior proud,
And many loving thought of home
Goes after the heecy cloud;
.e -
And mapy aprsyer to the God of Fights
Goes up through the forest trees,
That our hopes and joys of the future
Msy not end in smoke ike these
