The Two Armies.

As Life's unen.ing column pours,
Two marshalfd hosts are seen
Two armies on the trampled shores
That death flows black between
One marches to the drum-beat roll,
The wide-mouthed clarion's bray.
And bears upon a crimson scroll,
"Our glory is TO say,"
One moves in silence by the stream,
With sad yet watchful eyes
Calm as the patient planets gleam
That walks the clouded skies
Along It's front no sabrcs shine,
No blood red penons wave;
Its banner bears the single line,
Our duty is to save!7
For those no death-bed's lingering shade
At honors trumpet-call,
With knitted brow and lifted blade
In glory's arms they fall.
For these no clashing talchions bright,
No stirring battle-cry;
The bloodless stabber calls by night
Each ans wcrs, Here ami"
For these the sculptors laurelld bust,
The builders marble piles,
The anthems pcahng DER their dust
Through long cathedral aisles.
For these the -sprinkled turf,

it was impossible. After good
