you this letter that you may place yourself right before
the brave who have left their homes and perng

The soldier has home, though humble it may be, and
dear there around its hearhsoue which occupy
and fill up his thoughts and that the exortoners
and spectators swarmng and devourng as they CO.
and since it takes eight dollars to buy what formerly

BLOOD.

BLOOD has stained our loveliest VALUES,
Blood has stained our loftiest hills;
Blood has stained our mightiest rivers,
Blood has stained our humblest rills;
Flood has stained our fields of harvest,
Blood has stained our fields of snow;
Flood has stained our ancient forests,
Shall it never cease to flow?
Blood has stained our nations highways,
Blood is on the iron bars,
Blood is dripping on the cushions,
And the flooring of the cars;
On the pathway to the school-house,
Where the little children go;
Fen in the house of Worship
Shall it never cease to flowP
Easier far the task to find it
Than to find where it is not
In the parlor of the mansion,
Bv the hearth-stone of the cot;
There it stains the shroud, the coffin,
There has set its sign of woe
On young, graceful, radiant tresSes-
Shall it meyer cease to flow?
And we find the bIood-scent even
In the morn and evening air,
When we pray, Oh, God of mercy
Do we offer blood with prayer?
Wien we utter our thanksgiving
For the mighty debt we owe,
Is the breath of praise blood taintedS
Can it ever cease to flow?
Trcrnble! tremblel oh, We leaders
or this fratricidal warl
Shu,Ider at the dread reVealings
Of each little trembling star
Sta',d aghast before the moonbeams
And the sun-beams when they glow
Ger this wine-press of our nation
Shall 1t never cease to iOw2
When we turn from mammon's altar,
Turn from mad ambitions shrine,
To forgive and be forgiven"
By the grace of love divine;
When we look on men as brothers,
When. we seek the Lord to know,
Then His word will stay the deluge,
Aad the red blood cease to flow.
