THE DYING SOLDIER.

Brother soldiers! come up nearer,
For my limbs are growing cold;
And thv prcsence seemeth dearer,
When thy arms around me fold.
/ am dying, soldier! dying;
Soon you'll miss me from your camp,
For nv form will soon be lying
Meth the earth so cold and damp.
Listen. brother soldiers, listen:
/ have something l would say,
Ere my eyes are closed forever,
To the lovely light of day;
am going surely going
But my faith in 'eGod" is strong;
I die happy-willing-kuowing
That He doeth nothing wrong.
Tell my father when you greet him
That in death prayed for him;
And | hope that | shall meet him
In the world that's free from sin!
Dearest mother! "God" assist her
Now that she is growing old
Say her boy would glad have kissed her,
When his lips grew pale and cold!
Brother soldiers. catch each Whisper
IT'S my wife I'd speak of now;
Tell. oh. tell her how | missed her
When the fever burned my brow;
Tell her she must kiss my baby
Like the kiss I last impressed
Hold her, as when last held her,
Closely folded to my breast.
Tell my dear wife-may GOOD bless her!"
She was very dear to me;
Would [ could once more caress her,
And her lovely face could see!
Tell my dear ones remember
Every kindly parting word;
And my heart has been kept tender
By the thought their memory stirred.
Brother soldiers, let me see you,
Press each hand before [ die;
My good friends, I'm 10th to leave you.
Here's my fond, my last "good-bye!
Hark! l hear my Saviour" calling! .--
IT'S His voice. know it we'll;
When I'm gone, oh! don't be weeping,
