The following beautiful lines were
thrown to a party OF ladies and gentlemen
serenading the authoress, on the night of
August ii. 1863 We publish them by
request of the serenaders:
MUSIC.
What welcome half so fitting, half so sweet,
AS music to the weary, thristng hearts;
With strains of melody We're wont to greet,
Friends at their coming; friends when they de-
part.
The gtntle bride, with bushes Ike the morn
And radient looks, the compliments receives,
The victor, crowned with laurels and with bays,
Hears in it future conquests anil believes
And what so cheers the weary soldiers heart,
As thrilling notes upon the battle morn;
With fearless eye and dauntless steps he meets
The death that leaves his household all iorlorn,
The veteran warrior, as his life tide GIBBS,
Hears the shri bugle sound the foes retreat
With flashing eye once more exulting shouts,
And dares cen Death his brave soul to defeat.
The Borrowing mother at the clarion's call,
With Spartan tirmness brushes back the tear,
Buckles the brilliant armor on her son,
Forth bids him 60 to shield his country dear.
The mourners weeping DER the radent lead;
The orpha ms reft of father and of friend,
Feel lofty courage all their spirits thrill,
J AS martial musc's solemn tones ascend.
! Such strains as these, upon this summers night,
| Awaken sweet, yet mournfui memories, too,
Methnks the brave here, Sleeping their last sleep,
! Rejoice TO hear, once more, the song they knew.
| Songs that have cheered, for them, the dreary
| march,
| Kept from their faithful souls the fend, Despair.
| Have chased the gloom from many camping
ground,
| Infused new hope and iightened every care.
| And down the aisle of future years shall ring,
| like notes OF triumph, or, sounds devlne,
These thrilling songs; to gladden. ages hence,
| Like quaffs of golden, royals ancient wine.
Still truth and Justice from the dust shall rise,
Their temples dome shall kiss the midnight stars;
Till peace ana harmony victorious reign,
