By PRIVATE MILES O'REILLY.

Three years ago to-day -.l q
We raised our hands to Heaven,
And on the rolls of muster
Our names were thirty-seven /, 5Ha
There were just thous nd b yonets, r..
And the swords were thirty-seven,
As we took the oath of service
With our right hands raised to Heaven.
Oh twas gallant day. ..r-.. L.
IN memory still adorea, .f ID -.
That day of our sun bright nuptials ...-t
With the musket and the sword 3d..
Shrill rang the flies. the bugles biared,
And beneath a cloudless Heaven -f..
Twinkled a thousand bayonets,
And the swords were thirty-seven.
Ofthe thousand stalwart bayonets
Two hundred march to-day .
Hundreds lie in Virginia swamps,
And hundreds in Maryland clay
And other hundreds less h1ppy, drag
Their shattered limbs around,
And envy the deep. long, blessed sleep
Ofthe battle-held,s holy ground.
For the sword-one night week ago,
The remnant just eleven,
Gathered around a banqueting board.
With seats for thirty-seven.
There were two limping in on crutches,
And two had each but a hand
To pour the wine and raise the cup
As we toasted " Our flag and land.
And the room seemed filed with whispers.
A we looked at the vacant seats.
And, with choking Threats, we pushed aside
The rich but untasted meats
Then in silence we brimmed our glasses,
As we rose up-just eleven,
And bowed as We drank to the loved and tn
deal
Who had made us THIRTY-sEyEN!
