occupied by General Harry Hays on the
banks of the river at Rappahanock Station
in 1868. General Bartlett was the hero of
that fight. He writes well:

That swsyiDg, bowed. beneath the autumn wind,
Rustling the while its mournful memory
OF summers verdsnt glories left behind.
On mother esrth's fair bosom, damp with dew
or earliest morn. the lesfet, flutt'ring fell,
Then bounding OF, upon the breezes iew
Forever from the spot it loved 90 we'll. n
And, . through dell and woodland shaIs twas

Der meadows green where murmuring stream.
let's flow,
But one sad plant went with it, ell forlorn
As with shell, its seaside echoes 60.
Till, falling where river, swift and wide
Flowed on in silent grandeur to the sea,
Twas borne along upon the eddylng ride
Mid sunlit ripples, dancing merrily.
Forgotten then the still secluded glen
Where grew the maple tree that gave it birth !;
Forgotten all it's plaintive murmurs then;
Forgotten all save joyful, gleeful mirth.
Alb ye who from the home Of childhood stray
To wander DER the stranger scenes of EARTH,
Let not that first loved vision fade away.
Forget not thus, in exile, all its worth.
