From Harper's Weekly
AN OLD SOLDIER'S OPINION.

I'm plain old soldier who fought In the ranks,
One arm gone and this ugly scar
With nothing except my country's thanks,
Not even chevron or a bar;
Though fought as we'll as most of 'er lid,
Loaded and fred with as true an aa;
But then, you see, the fact of it Is,
We are not all of US born to fame.
An army of captains would hardly do,
With all to command and none to obey;
I'm proud of wearing the army blue
Proud of it now to this very day.
Though the cruel war is over and done,
And I've laid aside my soder-dress,
Trust in the truth of what say,
My love for our cause is none the less.
Think you, of men who have fought and bled
On common ground that is dear to each,
Where foe with foe have lain stiff and dead,
. That of itself should widen the breach
My notion is, and think I'm right.
There seldom was cause for quarrel yet,
Since the time of Noah, betwixt man and man,
That one or both of em couldn't forget.
1 may be wrong but that's not the point
With a little patience I'll soon get al
My tongue like tie times is out of joint,
And wags little this way and that.
The point is this; now the countrys saved,
Who is the man. of all, TODAY,
Fitted the best to take the chair
To put the thing in plain, straight way.
We've many among us, good men and true,
Civilian and soldier that I'll own;
But the fact is plain to both me and you,
There is always one, as the world has shown
Always one more than all the rest
Some model, you see, of the human race,
Moulded by Nature, the mother of ALL
Fashioned and fitted for some high place.
There was Washington--take for example him
And old Napoleon, the boast of France;
England's W Wellington, stern and grim
Men not made by freak of chance.
But to come right down TO the present day,
There's Grant now tell me where can you find
man for President filter than he,
Or SO il seems at least to my mind.
When the war had lasted for four long years,
With little hope Of a speedy end,
And thousands Of eyes were wet with tears
For the loss of husband, brother. or friend
! While the town of Richmond still held out,
Publishing wide disgrace,
FROM the glorious West he took command
And proved himself the man for the place.
Now that's the drift Of my talk, do you see!
IT l III not quite clear it's my fault, that's all
For every crisis there needs must be
One man, the right one, to answer the call.
Here We have him in Grant, we had before,
And it's my opinion he can't well miss;
| The people for him, he's their choice,
So what better proof could there be than this ?
