is necessarily spending vast sums, your

it will lead you to terrible financial diff

continue to furnish extraordinary supplies
to the Government, is by the rigid practice

every patriot preach this truth TO the
people.

The Place for Man 10 DIE,

low little recks 1t where men die,
When once the moments passed
In which the dim and glazing eye
Has looked on earth its last!
Whether within the sculptmed urn,
Or collins cell, they rest,
Or, in their uakedness, return
Back to their mothers breasty
heath is a common friend, OF foe,
As different men may hold,)
<nd at his summons esch must 90
The timid and the bold.
But when the spirit, free and warm,
Deserts it, as il must,
What matter where the lifeless form
DissOlyes again to dust?
The soldier falls mid ccrsos piled
Upon the battle plain,
Where restless war-stcedS sa'Irp Will
Among the mangled slam;
liui though the corse be grim to see,
Hoof-trampled on tho sod,
What recks it, when the spirit free
Has scared aloft to Cor?
And others dying eyes may close
Upon their downy bed,
And softest hands their limbs compose,
Or garments Ger them spread;
But-ye who shun dear freedoms fray,
Where fall the noble brave
60, strip their coffin ills away,
Aud see them in their grave.
'Tuoro sweet, indeed, to close our eyes
With those We cherish near,
Ard, waited upward by their sigh',
;iOar to some happier sphere;
Yot, whether on the scalold high,
Or in the battle van,
The tittest place where man cau lie
Is WHERE HE DIES FOR MAN.
