The soldiers of Delaware county will
dolWeli to read and attentiyely con
slider the following remarks in refer.
enoe to this popular Organization from
the Guernsey Times.
We desire to invite the attention of
all ~ iers and sailors to this already
pcr eFful association. We do this for
IL r interest through this organiza
tion may be secured the recognition
TO which they are entitled for sacrifices
made and services rendered
Elte army already numbers among fts
members 0g9e-fo2lrtb Of all the soldiers
tvb0 a1ere i9 tie Union army during
the a0ar! The numbers, power and
influence Of the order are daily increas-
ing and the time IS near at hand when
they may ask for all to which they are
justly entitlcd and their claims viii be
heard and granted. The Grand Army
viii not beg for charities, but whatever
they ask for viii be upon the ground
Of justice and not upon charity No
man who has received an honorable
discharge from the army or Bavy should
hesitatP one mpment aboIit dhltiDg his
fortune with this patriotic army.
It's for his interest, and although
he may think he has received his due,
he should not forget that he has a duty
to perform for others less fortunate.
While there is q disabled comrade
vainly searching for work that he can
do; the widow or orphan of a soldier
suffering fof the necessities of life, no
Union soldier should hesitate to per-
form his part in building up an organ
fzation which shall secure all such
from suffering. Then rally TO the en-
campments and be mustered into the
Union ranks Id 1861 You did not
wait to consider whether it was advis-
able or expedient. You hearkened to
the promptings Of patriotism, and raj
lied under the banner of your country.
The same influences that coDteGded
against you then are combating your
interests to-day. Employment Is fur
nished to men and women who never
breathed a syllable in sympathy with
your cause, but denounced you on eve
ry occasion, while your comrades who
have been manned and crippled are IN
vain asking for work Those things
must be corrected. BY ynur influence
and not day should be lost in casting
il upon the side Of the Grand Army.
IF no post has been founded in your
town or city do not wait for others to
take the initiative, but at once com
mence the work.

The dear ewes i love, to-day
shine three thousand miles away,
And the voice L long to hear
Speaks to some Indifferent earf
Neither year nor miles shall part
Those who hold each Others heart
Neither Hope nor Time restore
Love that's gone for evermore.
Love of mine across the sea
Thy sweet eyes shine not for me,
Though one slow revolving year
Brings thy gracious presence near
Tho when summer comes once more
Thy feet touch this happy shore,
Winter snow and summer sum
Find and leave me here alone.
Yet this hour Of twilight brings
Memories of all precious things;
Though my sun no more nay rise
Golden are my sunset skies
Let me sit and dream a while
OF her far-off glance and smile,
Wondering, If we met to-day,
What the lovely eyes would say.
AAAO my 4A--~NAg ft-NA-
On some grave and serious book ?
Does their solemn splendor show
Depths Of silent thought belowg
Do they rule with radiant glance
In the may, circling dance
Flash with sudden scOrn, and then
Soften into mirth again
Do they gaze with smile serene
On some fair and foreign scene,
Where the lovely landscape lies
Under blue Italian skies
Ara they closed in-auiet sleepg
Do they wake to watch and weep?
Do they look across the sea
With one thought for home and me
Do they dream with sOftend ray
CT bright hours long passed awayl
Do sweet thoughts blooming years
Fill them full Of blessed tears
Does their tender twilight shine
Into happier eyes than mine?
One who sits herein the snow
Prayss dear heart; it may be so
