The distance between nv

being ready, the Indian seized an AK,
but instead Of using it as any other
person would have done, he swung the
blade high above his head with both
hands, as if the object to be separated

Though bursting hesds were ours,
None ssw us yield to tears;
Twas ours to do or die.
For We were volunteers.
And when they took us South,
A ragged, tattered crew,

We bore ourselves like men,
Like men who knew no fear;
We showed them what It was

And when with stealthy tread
One night We stole away,
And gu ded by the stars
That cast feeble ray,
Amid the southern pines

No hearts beat then like ours
That wore the bonny blue.
We threaded thickets close,
Until our bleeding feet

Through sharp and binding sleet,
Into = negro hut,
Where horny hands bestowed
The little they had left,
To pay the debt they owed.
All day we crouched In shade,
And when the nightfan came,
We pushed on through the pines,

How Investors Get Ruined in England.

the money market hand in hand with
bad security. Many are found, not nm.

lmpostor, and to take his tinsel and
paste jewels for genuine gold and

railway companies, land companies,
the great Laputa Joint Stock, and the
Golconda ExtentioD, which are always

the relics of Indian Colonies, and of

The temptation is cruelty alluring.
Never did silvery bait twirl more be-

hundreds year sparkle before a lady

four ambitious daughters, and brace
of sons whom she would like to see
transformed into Bishop and Major
General. She must, she really must,

the chorus of daughters, growing old at
Darlington, and eager to exhibit their
charms on wider stage) sell out of
those stupid consols, and give notice to
leave the melancholy red-brick house,
and brighten up With increased means.
So she closes up her account With
Britannia, and becomes the creditor
of His Highness the Nawab of
Needleput, or helps the Republi, of

We pushed on through the pines,
With hearts both stout and true,
And hailed the clust'ring stars,
For then We wore the blue.
And q We plodded on,
The bloodhounds' hoarsest bay
Awoke the forest aisles,
While snuffing far their prey.
When their fierce eyes met ours,
Ev'n then We did not rue:
Not all the fsngs they had
Could make us hate the blue.
IT'S not 30 long ago:
Yet times have changed 80 much
The strongest sight oft fails
To see the soldiers crutch.
But you and I, good friend,
We know what tits to feel
Dead toes that itch tell US
The story must be real.
Those dead toes itching hint
The ANAL grand review,
Where you and I will march
As never marched the blue.
Our elbows let us touch
Once more before we part,
Twill give ns strength anew,
Put life into our hearts.
I fancy that old touch
Should furnish strength anew
To every one who wore
The never-fadinR blue.
That old familiar touch
We felt for four long years,
Methinks would wake the dead.
Had they been volunteers.
