While coming years their circles run.
Blest be the ground where heroes sleep,
And blest the flag that DER them waves,
ITS radiant stars their watch shall keep,
And brightly beam on hallowed graves.
While Freedom lives, their fame shall live
In glory on her blazing scroll,
And Love her sacrifice shall give,
While anthems round the altar roll
Year after year our hands shall bear
Immortal flowers in vernai bloom, to
Till God shall call us home to share
Immortal life beyond the tomb.

THE GRANDMOTHER.
BY ALICE CAREY.

She says she has left the world behind,
But the world is not forgot,
And says she keeps as strong in her mind
As she ever was, God wot.
Only the things about her change
Too fast for her to see,
And all is wide, and vast, and strange,
All foolishly awly, and strange
And not as it used to be!
She says the boys are kept from school
To mind her, without CALI
It's pity if she cannot rule
Herself, who has ruled them all
She will not have them stand and wait,
She can climb the stilo alone,
Only the path is not so straight,
SO smooth and pleasureful and straight,
As it was in the years agone!
She says her old eyes keep their sight,
And, up the farm and down,
She knows when the bucliwheat field is white
And the barley field is brown.
She takes her little trembling share
When the harvest song is sung,
Only the ears are not so fair
All not so large, and fine and fair
As the5 were when she was young!
She says when the tune for the dance is set
Her feet grows almost light,
And her heart would still be dancing yet
When the winds play up at night;
Only for this, she says they pass
No more like dancers tread,
But as if they blew across the grass
The long, Withdrawing tear wet grass
That grows above her head.
