Under One Blanket,
by JAMES BARREN HOPE.

az VAmf-p DAhhfN hOlE,
The sun went down in flame and smoke,
The cold night passed without alarms,
And wen the bitter morning broke
Our men stood to their arms.
But not foe in front was found
After the long ank stubborn fight,
The enemy had left the ground
Where we had lain that night.
In holows where the sun was lost
Unthawed still lay the shing snow,
And on the rugged ground the frost
In slender spears did grow.
Close to us, where our final rush
Was made at closing in of day,
We saw amid IN awful rush,
The rigid shapes Of clay:
Things, which but yesterday had life,
And answered to the trumpet's call,
Remained rs victims OF the strife,
Clods Of the Valley all!
Then, the grim detail marched away
A grave from the Lard soil to wrench
Wherein should sleep the Blue and Grey
All IN Il ghastly trench!
A thickct Of young pines arose.
Midway upon that frosty ground,
A shelter from the winds and SHOWS,
And by its edge found
Two stiilened forms, where they had died
As sculptured marble, white and cold
Lying together side by side
Beneath one blankets fold.
Ny heart already touched and sad
The blanket down gently drew
And saw n sturdy form, well clad
From head to heel in Blue.
Beside him, gaunt from many fast
A pale and boyish "rcbcl'' lay,
Free Of all pungs Of life, at last,
In tattered suit Of Grey.
There side by side those soldiers slept
Each for the cause that he thought goo(
And bowling down my head | wept
Through human brotherhood.
Oh sirs It was a pileoua thing
To see how they had yaiuy tried
With strips Of shirts, and bits Of strings
TO stay li(c's chbing tide
The story told itself Alright;
print scarce were palmer to the eye
How they together in the night
Had laid them down to die.
The story told itself / say.
How smitten by their wounds and colo
They'd nestled close, the Blue and Grey
Beneath one blankets fold
All their POOR surgery could do
They did to stop their wounds 30 deep
Until at lust the Grey and Blue
Like comrals fell asleep,
We dug for them generous grave,
Under that sombrc thickct lee,
And there we laid the sleeping brave
To wait Gods rcyeille.
That grave by many a tear was gracet
From ragged heroes ranged around
AS in one blanket they were placed
In conscg p@ted ground.
Aye, conseCrated, without flaw,
Because upon that bloody sod,
MY soul upllrted stood and saw
Where CHRIST had lately trodl
The Wichita city eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1872-1883, 1881-06-30
THANKS.

Just As We went to press last Wednesday
afternoon We learned that man of circum-
scribed means. living at the upper end of town
had his COW killed by lightning. We, at that
time, knew nothing Of the particulars, not
even the mans name, but suggested that a
subscription be made up for the sake of the
little children Of the family. A paper, with
out heading, was started and carried along
five blocks Of the city, with short statement
OF the calamity 10 the family in the fewest,
shortest words. The paper was out just an
hous and u half. There was not q refusal
from single individual to whom the state.
ment was made. In explanation of the sums
subscribed ii is but fair to state that the per-
son carrying the petition suggested q or 80
cents rs all that was expected. Where mole
than that was given it can be set down to
over-generous hearts aud truly sympathetic
natures. The recipients name IL Gates who
is broken down in health. aud in his behalf
We most cordially thank the following gen.
tlemen, and one lady, whose names we pub
lish for our own qualification, and that our
readers may see that in spite Of the many
calls for charity we have people ever ready
to extend Il helping hand to the distressed.
The lady mentioned was not asked, but sc-
cidentaliy hearing n statement Of the case
stepped forward anT asked permission to
give mite:
