WHAT THE MATTER WAS.

He stood, u bronzed and battered form,
Within old embrazrre warm,
And leaned upon cannon old,
Half-sunken in the fragrant mold;
Then turning from the rusty gun,
With help of crutch he tottered on.
A sweet girl face locked up at him,
And sweet eyes scanned his aspect grim.
And sweet voice said, in quayer low,
80, gallant warrior, do not go,
But tell me--tel1 me where you fought
And where these fearful wounds were wrought.
Vert smitten in the furious tide
That drenched in blood the bastion's side?
Or fought upon the slipper deck
And sang defiance from the wreck?
Or waved the starry banner high,
Braveiy resolved to do or die 2"
Hold on, young gal ]" the veteran said;
81 am Whitewater by trade;
l never fit; this trouble is
