THE COLOR BEARER.

Ev MRS, 9raRGAEET j. PRESTON.
The shock of battle swept the lines,
And wounded men, and slain,
La thick as lie in summer fields
The ridgv swathes Of grain.
The deadly volleys belched their fire,
The raking cannon pealed,
The lightning fash of bayonets
Went glitterinC round the field.
On rushed the gallant ''Twenty-t onrth,
Against the bristling guns,
Whose blaze could daunt or dazzle them,
No more than could the su1's.
1t mattered not though heads went down,
Though stately steps were stayed
Though rifles dropt from bleeding hands,
And ghastly gaps were made.
Close up'-was still the stern command.
And with unwaveTing tread,
They held right on-though we'll they knew
They tracked their way with dead.
AS fast they preased. with laboring breath.
Clcnched teeth ana knitted frown,
The sharp and sudden cry rang out
Tho color bearers down."
Quick to the front sprang eagerly,
The Youngest of the band,
And caught the flag still tightly held
Within the fallen hand.
With cheer, he reared it high again,
Yet claimed an instant's pause,
To lift the dying man, and sec
Whose palid face 1t vas.
Forward''-the Captain shouted loud,
Still :. Forward the men
Caught madly up the shrill command,
And ehriekod it out again.
But movelegs stood the fair-faced boz.
Without foOts advance,
Until the Captain shook his arm,
AID rOueed him from his trance.
His home had flashed upon his eight-
That blessed and sunny spot;
He did not hear the crashing shells
Nor heed the hisslng shot.
He saw his mother wiring her hands
He heard his sisters' cries,
And tears We're on his girl-like check,
And grief was II his eyes.
The touch dissolved the spclI--he kneu,
He felt the fearful stir
He raised his head, and softly said
He was my brother, cir -
Then grasping firm tito crimscn tlag,
He flung it free and high +;
While patriot passion staunched his tears
And drank his SORROW dry.
Between his close set teeth he spakc,
And hard he drew his breath
I'll bear this flag to victory,
Or bear ii, sir, to death -
The believing batteries thundersd on:
The sulph rOus smoke rose higher,
And from the columns in their front,
Poured forth the CALLING fire.
But where the bullets thiclest fell,
Where hottest ragged the fight,
The steady colors tossed aloft
Their trail Of crimson light.
Firm and indomitable still
The . Twenty-Fourth " moved on
A dauntless remnant only left
The brave threescore were gone.
And now once more the cry arose,
Which not the guns could drown:
g HO, boys up with the flag again.
The color bearers down."
They sought to loose his grasp, but fast
He chung with iron WILL
1.-THE arm that's broken is my left
So can hold it still
And onward Forward Twenty Fourth"
out ABOVE tue rOaFs
When suddenly the guiding flag
Sank, and was seen no more.
And when the fiery fight was done.
And from the bloody field
The battered Twenty Fourth Withdrew
Because they would not yield,
They found boy whose face still wore
A look resolved and grand,
A rent and riddled flag close clutched
Within his shattered hand!

LITTLE LUCY.


sweet little child, about two years old
Was sitting by ''Aunty counting her gold
Counting her treasures SO slow. and so true,
" Two, free, teTen tngar-plums-red, white, and
blue"
One went to her mouth-such q satisfied look,
Beaming now from her face another she took
- Please give 1t to aunty, she'll sing "HGppy
Land,''
And the sugar-plum dropt from her little fat
hand.
&C Please give aunty more 2" Another one fell
And 80 and yet baby thought it was well,
Until only two of all she possessed
Remained in her hand, and now for the test.
g Give tunty another?" She held it up high,
AS much as to say, - Tis hard but IN try -
And the little plum drOpt mOng handful more
OF as priceless jewels ever queen wore.
One only remained. All trembling we stood
Would our darling do more than are ever cOald?
. Give aunty anOther?' came tender and low,
For aunty's eyes dimmed, tears blinded them so.
The little one gazed on the treasure so dear
With sad longing look, q sob, and a tear;
Twas but for moment a smile and a kiss"
Never sealed costly offering moro precious than
this.

CURIOUS MEDLEY

By the lake where drooped the wiIlow
Row, brothers, row;
want to be an angel
And jump Jim Grow.
An old crow sat on hickory limb.
None knew him but to praise;
Let me kiss him for his mother.
For he smells of Schweizer kase.
The minstrel to the war has gone,
With the banjo on his knee:
He awoke to hear the sentry's shrek.
There's light in the window for thee.
A frog he would wooing go,
His hair was curled to kill;
He used to wear an old grey coat
And the sword of Bunker Hill.
Oft in the Silly night
Make way for liberty he cried.
] won't go home till morning,
With Peggy by my side.
] am dying, Egypt, dying,
Susannah, don't you cry;
Know how sublime a thing it is
10 brush away the blue-tailed fly.
The boy stood ON the burning deck.
With his baggage checked for Troy:
One Of the few immortal names,
His name was Pat Molloy.
Mary had little lamb,
He could a tale unfold;
He had no teeth to eat hoe-cake,
AS his spectacles were gold.
Lay on, lay on, Macduf,
Man wants but little here below:
And Pm to be queen of the May,
So kiss me quick and go.
