THE CRUTCH IN THE CORNER.

"Why, Billy, your room is as cold as the hut
We had by the swamp and river;
When we lost our Major and Tim, you know,
And twenty more with the fever"
"well, Tom, old comrade, it's hard enough,
But the best at times knock under;
There's nary stick of W ood in the house
But that crutch in the corner yonder."
"Sorry listed? Don't ask me that, Tom!
If the flag was again in danger,
I'd aim a gun with this aching stump
At the foe-were he brother or stranger.
But, say, ought wound from a shot or shell,
Or pistol bullet, by thunder!
Forever doom . poor fellow to want
With that ar in the corner yonderT'
"That crutch, my comrade, ought ever to be
draft at sight on the nation.
For honor, respect, and friendly hand,
For clothing, and quarters, and rations."
ssI'd sooner have kicked the bucket twice Ger,
By a shell or q round ten.pounder
Than live such q life as I'm doing now,
With that ar in the corner yonder.
There's nary a thing left for to pawn and sell,
And the winter has closed on labor;
This medal is all that is left me now
| wi ith my pistol and trusty sabre;
| And these, BY the sunlight above us, Tom,
No power from my touch can sunder,
Save the power that releases me at last
| From that ar in the corner yonder.
l can raise this arm that is left me
To the blessed heaven above us,
And swear by the throne of the Father there
And the angels all who love us,
That the hand lost, and the hand / have,
Were never yet stained by piunder,
And for the love of the dear oil flag, l now
Use that ar in the corner yonder.
Do ask too much, when say we boys,
Who fought for the nations glory,
Now that danger is past and gone,
In comfort should tell our story?
How should we have fought when the ma
shells screamed
And shivered our ranks, wonder,
Had we known that our lot would have BET

With that ar in the corner yonder2
There's little we hear of nowadays
But pardon aud reconstruction,
While the sojer who fought and bled for boil
Is left to his owp destruction.
'Twould be well, think. in these nippin

For the Congress fellows to ponder,
And think of the boys who use such things
As that ar in the corner yonder.'

Hoofland's German Tonic

Was compounded for those not inclined to
extreme bitters, and is intended for use in
cases when some alcoholic stimulant is re-
quired in connection with the Tonic proper
ties of the Bitters. Each bottle of the Tonic
contains one bottle OF the Bitters, combined
with pure SANTA Cruz Rum, and favored in
such manner that the extreme bitterness OF
the Bitters is overcome, forming a prepara-
ton highly agreeable and pleasant to the pal
ate, aud containing the medicinal virtues of
the Bitters. The price of the Tonic is $1.50
per bottle, which many persons think too
high. They must take into consideration that
the stimulant used is guaranteed to be Of a
pure quality. A poor article could be fur
nished at a cheaper price, but is it not better
to pay a little more and have good article ?
medicinal preparation should contain none
but the best ingredients, and they who ex-
pect to obtain a cheap compound will most
certainly be cheated.
