A BATTLE HYMN.

Sweet Charles Augustus Slmpk'ns was
A creature of nntaunted nerve,
And in fierce mood he joined
The glory, gay police reserve.
Rugged out in epaulets and blue,
Equipped for sanguinary wars,
Our Charles Augustus seemed to be
A duplicate of bloody Mars.
"Came one, come all, he boldly cried,
And waved his sabre keen and bright,
!I vearn for cannon smoke and roar
banker for the furious fight
Sweet Charles Augustus Simpkins pitched
His tent upon the green falr gro"h"-
He little knew that baleful chllls
We're lurking in that place around
He lay him down to sweetiy s'sep
I1pon his clover-scented bunk.
And for the ague and its ills
He never for moment thunk.
Next morning at aurora's dawn
Did our immortal hero wake
He woke to hear his sentry shrek
Good hev'n Augustus, how yon shake
Alas alas, for martial dreams
How vain is war, and wars alarms
All vanished in the thirst for gore,
And fled all military charms!
There may be glory in the field
There may be glory in the camp
Their. may be pleasure dreaming dream
In places where the ground Is Damp
This all may be-our hero Charles
Cant recognize the glory in it,
His time is spent in taking now
