8heridan's Ride.
By THOMAS BucHaSAs READ

Up from the South at break Of dsy.
Bringing to Winchester fresh disnaay.
The affrighted air with shudder bore.
Like herald in haste to the chieftains door.
Inc terrible grumble and rumble and roar,
iellng the battle was on once more,
And Sheridan twenty miles away.
And wider still those pillows of war
Ihundered along the horizons bar.
And louder ye. into Winchester rolled
The roar of the red sea uncontrolled. ~
Making the blood of the listener cold,
As he thought Of the stake in that fiery fray
Aud Sheridan twenty miles awav.
And wider still those pillows of war.
Murdered along the horizons bar,
And louder yet into Winchester rolled.
The roar of that red-sea uncont rolled
Making the blood of the listener cold.
AZ he thought of the stake in that fiery fray
And Sheridan twenty miles away
But there is a road from Winchester town,
A good, broad highway leading down;
And there, through the flush of the morning
light,
A steed, as black as the steed of night,
Was seen to pass as with eagle flight
AS if he knew the terrible need.
He stretched away with HE utmost speed /;
Herose and fell-but his heart was gay,
With Sheridan fifteen miles away. g.,
Still sprung from those swift hoofs, laundering
south, --=. .-ase.aa sss-s, az,--zsss ---a-4
The dust. like the smoke from the lannon's
mouth.
Or the trail of comet, sweeping faster and
faster,
Foreboding to traitors the doom of disaster :
The heart of the steed and the heart, of the
master
Were beating like prisoners assaulting their
walls, $40 -.f-s... ..sTr f--f.eser
Impatient to be where the battlefield calls ;
of fho OH or 70

With Sheridan only ten miles away.
Under his spurning hoofs the road
Lake an arrowy Alpine river flowed,
And the landscape sped away behind
Like an ocean ing before the wind ;Sss aaA
And the steed like bark FED with furnace
fire, ~..-l-, -.,.. ..-,,-..
Swept on it'll his wild, wild eyes full of fire
But 10 he is nearing his hearts desire
He is shutting the smoke of the roaring fray
With Sheridan only FIVE miles away.
The first the General saw were the groups
Ofstrugglers and then the retreating troops
What was done-what to do-a glance tolt
him both.
Then striking his spurs with terrible oath,
He dashed down the line mid storm of huz
zas,
And the wave of retreat checked its cours
there because
The sight of the master compelled it to pause
With foam and dust the black charger was
gray:
BY the fash Of his eye, an6 his red nostrili
play,
He seemed to the whole great army to say
g have brought Sheridan all the way
From Winchester down to save the day p
Hurrah, hurrah for Sheridan!
Hurrah, hurrah, for horse and man
And when their statutes are placed on high
Under the dome of the Union sky.
The American soldiers Temple of Fame,
There with the glorious Generals name
Be it said in letters both bold and bright
Here is the steed that say ed tho day
By carrying Sheridan into the fight
From Enthusiastically miles away r.
