from the literal one,s and in time the
original import is frequently lost Hence
ons of the most amusing and instructive
recreatious may be found in tracing
words to, their origin, and learning how
they came to mean what they do.
There is scarcely any limit to the ex-
amples that might be given. ragaa
The few words that have entirely
lost their original meaning may be re-
garded as curiosities. Such are the

GENERAL PATRICK CLEBURNE.


ciehurne comes IN his warrior shroud,
Not q breath OF shame cIings round his
Angels light envy hisspotless name.
With n soldiers pride for the South he died
Southwnrd he's borne to Southern earth
Which he loved as W 'twere the land OF his
Birth 4t t,r.c.
Tie comes not with the pomp of war,
Escorted by q martial throng. .-4 =
The strife'is done, the battieis won -
Might means right, and defeat Is wrong.
BIAS counrry's h0nor Ger ffbertyfs grave,

The cause for which the hero died
Sleeps away mid the true and brave;
Its flag Is furled, IL has left the world
And upward flown, whore the brave have
4tL gone, tsH4, hfHa
And none are left to escort the dead
With glittering arms and martial tread
Meet him with downcast, tearfnl eve,
Ye who have fought on Southern fields,
Sons OF the Gel, with stified wall.
Cleburne meet. for that warrior true,
Claims country exile and birth with you;
Like numberless others who fell afar
FIRST in the serried ranks of war.
Offer we honors higher fhr
Than are paid by u hireling throng.
The hearts deep grief for the fallen chief
80 freely given, ascends to Heaven,
And mingles its niurnfurs with the heav.
emily song,
His remains thus onward in silent woe
1t fs better by far to bear them so.
