WHISPER OF PEACE.

Whisper of peace, whisper tenderly, softly,
And bear its sweet breezes Ger mountain and
glen;
Till the angel of God from portals celestial,
Shall calm with sweet power the fierce passions
of men.
Whisper of Peace, It's the music of Heaven,
The chorus angelic resounding above,
The voice of the presence of glory eternal.
The beautiful essence of wisdom and love.
Whisper of Peace. All the fresides deserted
The passionate sobs for the loved and the brave =,
Shall the demon Of carnage exult thus forever,
And comes there an gel to comfort and save.
The beautiful forms, the fond heart cold and
pulseless.
What boon do we clasp for the treasure gave,
The blood of our heroes, the love of our idols.
We lavish them freely, we clasp but grave.
Whisper of Peace by the camp of the soldier,
The heart beateth strong in the brave heros
breast,
Whisper of Peace to the fond wife and mother
The maiden who murmurs his name in her rest
Let the whisper float onward the whisper angelic
Through camp and through cottage, Ger valley
and hill
Till theiheart Of the nation aw kens to duty,
And over the world floats magical thrill,
Whisper Of Peace, tits the music of Heaven,
The music that swells from the throne of his
love,
All! methinks even now, gently puming her
pinions
We herald the ght of the beautiful dove.
She comes with the light of his love lowering

That delectable plant would praise while I'm

For often at noon when returned from the field, ,
found it superior to all on the table
The best favored edible that Nature could yield
WITT what eager appetite shlrpenel by labor,
piled knife and fork with hearty good WILL
Alas there are none of the old fashioned flavor,
None like the "real Simons that grew on the
hill
The mealy potato, the Irish potato,
The thin skinned potato that grew on the
How prime from the fulheapen dish to receive it
As poised on my fork, it asccnds to my mouth!
No appeal to the palate could tempt me to leave
it,
Though affected by "rot'' or long summers

And now far removed from that situation,
Where used to partake of the root to my fill
Fancy fan would revert to my fathers plantation
And sigh for the "kindeys' that grew on tn,
