THEE NATIONS DEAD.

-Four hundced thousand men
The brave-the good-the true,
In tangled wood. in mountain glen,
On battle plain, in prison pen,
Lie dead for me and YOU
Four hundred thousand of the brave
Have made our ransomed soil their grave
Forzme and you?
Good friend, for me and you,
In many feyered swamp,
By many a black bayou,
In many cold and frozen camp,
The weary sentinel ceased his tramp,
And died for me and you.
From Western plain to ocean tide
Are stretched the graves Of those who died
For me and you.
Good friend, for me and you
On many a bloody plain
Their ready swords they drew,
And poured their life blood like the rain.
A home-a heritage to gain,
To gain Tor me and you,
Our brothers mustered by our side,
They marched, fought. and brav-iy died
For me and youl
Good friend, for me and you
Up many a fortress wall
They charged-those boys in rlue
Mid surging smoke, and volleyed bali,
The bravest were the first to fall
To fall for me and you,
These noble men,--the nations pride
Four hundred thousand men have died,
For me and You.
Good friend, Tor me and yon' .
In treason's prison-hold
Their martyr spirits grew
To stature like the saints OF old,
While, amid agonies untold,
They starved for me and you.
The good, the patient, and the tried,
Four hundred thousand men have died,
For me and you!
Good friend, for me and you
A debt we ne'er can pay
To them is justly due,
And to the nations latest day
OuI children's children still shall say
They died for me and you"
Four hundred thousand of the brave
Made this our ransomed soil their grave,
For me and you!
Good friend, for me and you.

"THEY SAY" that enc of the latest
fashions with the ladies is wearing
long ends of narrow ribbon around
the neck. Few of the uninnitiated
know the significance of the same
When they wear the ends hanging in
front it means that "the lady is mar
ried," over the right shoulder that
'she is engaged" down the back that
she "has a feller coming to see but
isn't engaged" over the left shouI-
der it means "Fellers come follow
me" II she does not wear any, it
means that she is "engaged" and don't
wish to have anything to do with
"any other feller"
