For the Charles City Inteliigencer
The Glorious Dream Of Home.

ny MISS nizAREH J. COLE.
The clash and din of arms is o'er,
The loud mouthed cannon's work is done,
And weltering in lifes pulling gore
Lies many q mothers only son.
Night closed the scene of mortal strife
Ere yet the vict' ry had been won,
And resting mid the carnage rife
They wait the rising Of the sun.
Here lies a fair and manly brow.
Upturned, but breathing 'mongst the slain
Sleeping that welcome slumber now,
Life, health and vigor mark that face,
Beaming with visions fair and bright,
He dreams of home, the loveliest place,
All radiant with loves tranquil light.
Wrapped are his senses in spell
Too deep to hear the measured tread,
or those who do their duty well
Watching the living and the dead.
Round his hard pillow faces bright
Come pressing for the greeting kiss,
How bright they beam with loves own light
Making his all Of earthly bliss.
Again he hears the voices sweet
OF loved ones round the home fireside,
The patter Of soft, tiny feet,
Filling his heart with Joy and pride.
A wife's fond tones are murmuring low
OF hopes and fears and joys to come,
She tells him they have missed him so,
And cheerless was their little home.
But now oh, Joy their pulses thrill
With JOY too deep for word to tell,
While bIissful tears each bright eye fills,
As fond lips whisper, !" all is well.
But bark what sound is that we hear,
Breaking upon the startled airs
The dreamer wakes, oh war, how drear,
Rude wakening from such visions fair.

WAEREAs, Numbers Of her subjects,
