The soldiers Burial.

Comrades, find for HIM grave
Where the hoors of war-steed clattered;
Where but childish feet may patter;
Any where; it will not matter:
Only find q grave. ..
Comrades, lay him softly down.
Was he not our lands defender
Though so womanly, SO tender,
With soul so true and tenderl -
Softly lay him down. ... ....
Comrades, roughly jar him not;
Never stir that brown tress lying
As It lay when he was dying,
With the bullets round him flying;
Roughly jar him not.
Comrades, move him tenderly,
As the touch Of fondest mother
As sister would brother
As one woman would another;
Move him tenderly.
Comrades, lower him gently down.
All for him how soon Deaths fat
But his face is still more quiet
Than our own, where life-cares riot
Lower him gently down.
Comrades, drop tear for him,
Though our camp.fres blaze as brightly,
And the low song rises as lightly,
We shall miss our mess-mate nightly;
Drop tear for him.
Comrades, now our work is done
Soldiers have no time to sorrow;
Rather let us courage borrow
For the struggles Of the morrow:
Now our work Is done.

still in Camp Cripple Creek, And in

ually floating about camp, and the nu-
merous prepare to move at moments
notice" we yet remain on the bankso OF

tired soldiers have long been waiting
for the welcome notes of the "Assem-

ward move, when we hope to meet
again in victorious combat tho armed
hordes who so vauntingly boast oftheir

when it comes will be bloody, terrific,
The cost, who can estimate that? Who
will comfort the torn and bleeding
heartsof the wives, mothers and Sis
ters of those who will have inundated
themselves upon their country's altar?
.rF All! these are dark and bitter
thoughts; but we look not at that. Our
eyes are directed forward to the speedy
arrival Of the gladstone time when a

ments thrown aside, we shall be re-
turned to tho peaceful pursuits Of civil
life, never moro to engage in an inter

Let us 60 to the woods, the sweet, sweet woods
Divine objects are there to be seen;
The trees have exchanged their dark winter hood
For those ofthe liyeliest green
Wild flowers are shooting up through the moss
To receive kiss from the breeze,
The vines are winding their tendrils across
The low branches of the green trees.
Let us go TO the woods, coInelet US 60,
Twill be pleasant to sit in the shade,
And list to the rill that murmurs below;
The hill at the edge of the glade.
And twine into wreaths the sweet wild flowers
And talk about things that welove,
The birds will enliven the warm MONDAY hours,
With music from the dense boughs above.
Let us 60 the woods, haste let us co.
While nature is lovely and fair;
See the tall trees, as they wave to andfro'
Seem to be inviting us there.

Thy flowers below. thy sweet birds above;
Thy nooks, and shady retreats.

And list to the rill that murmurs below,
