POETRY.
[From the Boys and Girls Monthly.]
The Colour-Bearer.
BY MRS. MARGARET j. PRESTON.

The shock of battle swept the lines,
And wounded men, and slain
Lay thick as lie in summer fields,
The ridgy swathes of grain.
The deadly volleys belched their fire,
The raking cannon pealed;
The lightning flash of bayonets
Went glittering round the field.
On rushed the gallant "1tOemty-Foawth
Against the bristling guns,
Whose blaze could daunt or dazzle them,
No more than could the suns.
1t mattered not tho heads went down,
Tho stately steps were stayed
Tho rifles dropt from bleeding hands,
And ghastly gaps were made.
'Close upp'-was still the stern command,
And with unwavering tread,
They held right on-tho' well they knew
They tracked their way with dead.
As fast they pressed, with laboring breath,
Clench d teeth and knitted frown,
The sharp and sudden cry rang out
1.-THE colour bearers downo
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,
ct GAINED an 1nStantS pause,
To lift the dying man. and see
Whose pallid face it was.
Forward !"-the Captain shouted loud,
Still Forward y and the men
Caught madly up the shrill command,
And shrieked it out again.
But moveless stood the fair-faced boy,
Without foots advance;
Until the Captain shook his arm,
And reused him from his trance.
His home had flashed upon his sight,
That blest and sunny spot;
He did not hear the crashing shells,
Nor heed the Kissing shot
He saw his mother wiring her hands
He heard his sisters cries;
And tears were on his girl-like cheek,
And grief was in his eyes. Af
The touch dissolved the spell--he knew,
He felt the fearful stir; M
He raised his head, and softly said,
He was my brother, sirF' ~
Then grasping firm the crimson flag,
He flung it free and high e-
While patriot passion staunched his tears,
And drank his sorrow dry.
Between his -close-set teeth he spake
And hard he drew his breath - ~, 81
s'pll bear this flag to victory,
Or bear 1t, S1r-tO death J.!
The believing batteries thundered on;
The sulph rous smoke rose higher; ..
And from the columns in their front,
Poured forth the CALLING fire.
But where the bullets thickest fell,
Where hottest ragged the fight,
The steady colours tossed aloft
Their trail of crimson light.
Firm and indomitable still
The Iaoeaty- Fourth moved on
A dauntless remnant only left
The brave three-score were gone!
And now once more the cry arose,
Which not the guns could drown;
'Ho, boysl-up with the flag again!
The colour-bearer's down!''
They sought to loose his grasp, but fast
He clung with iron will;
''The arm that S broken is my left,
So can hold it still!''
And Forwardi Foracardl Foe,aty-Fourth
Rang out above the roar;
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, Il
Because they would not yield;
They found a boy whose face still wore
A look resolved and grand, -
A rent and riddled flag close clutched
Within his shattered hand!

Thoughts for the New Year.

There is something mournfully sweet and pen
sive in the reflections prompted by the close of
the Old Year, and the beginning of the New
And as it is by the sadness of the counte-
nance the heart is made BETTER we are doing
ourselves no harm, if we indulge in solemn
thoughts at period usually set apart for mirth
and joyous hilarity. Of those for whom the
writer indites these thoughts for the New Year,
there are some whose thirty-ffth birthday will
occur during this year, and there are many
more whose birthday will be some larger num-
ber To such these thoughts are specially ded-
icated, and the fervent hope is cherished that
some one at least may be prompted to number
his days as to apply the heart unto wisdom.
The thoughts to which the writer refers are
taken from an old manuscript that has come into
his possession, by some means not necessary to
explain, and from it the following extracts are
made: n
To-day, [ am thirty-fve years of age. The
days of our years are threescore years and ten,
and if by reason of strength they be fourscore
years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow,
and they are soon cut off, and we fly away. By
this day, L am reminded that my course is half
run, and ere another thirty five years are num-
bered, shall have finished the work of life
Or, should be living, all that will remain will
be grey hairs and failing powers, an old man
lingering upon the shadowy confines of earth,
and eternity in hourly waiting for the summons
to go hence and be no more. Since this is so,
may | be SO taught of the Holy Spirit as to
number my remaining days Alright. and to apply
my heart to the wisdom that comes from above,
that [ may be wise unto salvation, and be ever
ready to arise and depart, for this is not my
rest.
