not On the other hand, it is the duty Of
every one to render all the assistance in
their power to make the thing go. II any

NY SOLDIER LOVER.

Oh | 1 have a gallant Soldier,
In the army of the North
And / think he's all perfection,
And he thinks I'm all his worth.
It is long since last saw him,
And it will be longer still,
For they say he has enlisted,
Till the rebs should get their fill.
Though he's nothing but private,
Yet dearly on him dote-
For care not for the trappings,
Or the strap that's on a coat.
For lace may deck the coward,
And star may deck the knave.
But know that he is honest, ....
And l know that he is brave.
For he fought with noble Sherman,
Ger mountain and DER vale;
And he saw the rebels flying,
Before our leaden hail.
And though he's me- r been wounded,
(All praise to him on high,)
He says he's always ready,
For his noble North to die.
And I pray for him at morning,
Oh pray for him at night,
And ask our Heavenly Father,
To guard him in the fight.
And know my prayers are answered
BY the calm within my breast,
And by my peaceful slumbers,
Where my pillow have pressed.
Oh long to see him coming,
long to hear his voice;
would don my brightest satins,
And fix myself so nice.
For think that very shortly,
If his mind is still the same
He will ask mellow Delightfully."-
II ! will not change my name!
