The speaker was naughty old man Of some

man.
''Ah, old man" proudly exclaimed VIM Baker,
Il am here your daughters equal, and yours"
The old mans lips curled with scoro. A deri-

violently upon the marble centre table an enor-

When his lovely form there did lay
No mother nor sister there TO weep,
Nor even for him winding sheet.
The fa III of cannon the only light
That shown On him that dreadful night,
The enemy was near in battle array
And kept from carrying his body away.
The clouds were low and the darkness Of night
Kept me concealed from the enemy's sight,
Then slowly did to his body creep
And found him soundly in death asleep.
I stopped near TO his manly head
To speak, but 10! he was dead:
Then his fond hand did grasp
And bid him farewell while time shall last
Filled with grief bid him farewell
For Mollie and Maggie, did to him tell,
Then said farewell, farewell again,
Farewell in remembrance of little Martha Jane.
So rest, Willie, rest, is all can say,
Until that great eternal day;
I'll tell your sisters how manly you fell,
And again bid you final farewell.
In Joy we all hope to greet you
When the Cay of life has fed
Then in Heaven again TO meet you,
