She did not faint nor cry out
just knelt down beside the low bed
where they had laid him, and dropped
her head on his shoulder, and kissed
the cold lips that would never warm
under the pressure of hers, calling him
by his name -"Mark, Mark, my love,
my husband p and the neighbors
standing there lifted up their voices
and wept.
In his pocket they found his papers
transportation ticket and discharge
and in his knapSack the gifts he
had bought for his wife and little
ones; a shawl for Coralie, a
music-box for Eddie, and doll for
baby Floy. The gifts had reached
their destination, but alas ? for their
giver.
Oh! true heart, strong for the
right, tender and faithful unto death,
do you know, in that Better Country

Tell John to set the kettle on.
I want to take drive,
only want to so to Rome,
And shall be back by five.
Tell cook to dress those humming birds
shot IN Mexico;
They've now been killed at least two days
They'll soon be I'm pen hom.
And Tom, you take the gold leaf wini
Ard start for Spain at three
want some Seville oranges
'Twixt dinner time and tea.
Fly round by France, and bring a new
Perpetual motion gun;
Tomorrow with some friends, go
A hunting in the sun.
The trip l took the other day,
To breakfast in the moon,
Thanks to that awkward Lord Bellair,
He spoiled my new balloon
For steering through the milky way,
Heran against star,
And turning round again too soon
Came jolt against my car.
But Tom, yot get the car repaired,
And then let Dan and Dick
Initiate with ten square miles ofgas,
mean to travel quick.
My steam is surely up by now,
Put the high pressure on;
Give me the breath-bag for the way
All right hey-whiz-Im gone.
