POETRY OF THE TIMES.

We Drank From the Same Canteen.
There are bonds Of all sorts in this world
Of ours,
letters OF friendship and ties Of flowers,
and true lovers knots, l ween;
The girl and the boy are bound by a kiss,
But there's never q bond, old friend, like
this
We have drunk from the same cantesn
1t was sometim's water and sometimes
milk,
And sometimes applejack, fine as elk;
But, whatever the t ppls has been,
We shared IL together in bane or bliss,
And | warm to you, friend, when ! think
Of this
We have drunk from the same csnteenl
The rich and the great sit down to dine,
And they quAf to each other in sparkling
wine.
From glasses of crystal and green;
But / guess in their golden potat'ons they
miss
The warmth of regard TO be found in this
We nave drunk from the same csnteen!
We have shared our blankets and tents
I gether,
We have marched and fought in all kinds
OF weather,
And hungry and full we have been;
Had days Of battle and days of rest;
But this memory l cling to and love the
best
We have drunk from the same ~canteen!
For when wounded I lay IN the outer
slope,
With my blood flowing fast and but little
hope
Upon which faint spirit could lean,
Oh, then, l remember, you crawled to my
side,
And, bleeding go fast II seemed 10th must
have died,
We drank from the same canteen!

IRON BITTERs. In the
Winter it strengthens and

Spring it enriches the blood

Summer it gives tone to the

in the Fall it enables the

Of sudden changes.
In no way can disease be

On my darling's face that day.

For bitter words OF mine,
But pride was fierce stubborn,
And so l gave no sign.

Upon my darlipg's cheek,
And then the grieved lip quivered
With words she did not speak.
Then something whispered to ne:
"What better way than this?
Go tell her that you love her,
And tell 1t with o kiss!"
"Dear hearth" I cried, 81 love you!
Forgive the words I spoke"
Across her face the sunshine
Through summer showers broke.

"For what hiss gone amiss."
And the troubles of the morning
Were ended In o kiss.
