THE NATIONS DEAD.

Four hundred thousand men,
Tho brave, the good, the true.
In tangled wood, In mountain glen,
On battle plain, in prison pen,
Lie dead for me and you
Four hundred thousand of the brave
Made this our ransomed soil their grave,
For me and you, good friend, for me and you |!
In many fevered swamp,
BY many black bayou,
In many cold and frozen camp,
The weary sentinel ceased his tramp,
And died for me and you
From western plain to ocean-tide
Arc stretched the graves OF those who died
For me and you, good friend. for me and you !
On many a bloody plain
Their ready swords they drew,
And poured their life blood like the rains
A home, O heritage, to gain,
10 gain for me and you
Our brothers mustered by our side,
They marched, and fought, aud bravely died
For me and you, good friend, for me and you
Up many a fortress wall
They charged, those boys in blue,
Mid surging smoke aud volleyed ball
The bravest were the first to fall
To fall for me and you
These noble men, the nations pride,
Four hundred thousand men have died
For me and you, good friend, for me and you
In treason's prison hold,
Their martyr-spirits grew
To stature like the saints OF old
While amid agonies untold,
Thoy starved for me and you!
The good, the patient, and the tried
Four hundred thousand men have died
For me aud you, good freud, for me and you
A debt we ne'er can pay
10 them is justly due,
And to the nations latest day,
Our children's children Stil shall say,
"They died for me and you!
-Four hundred thousand OF the brave
Made this, our ransomed soil, their grave,
For me and you, good friend, for mo and you

See how the banners wave
over the soldiers grave,
While those he died to save
Hallow his dust
"How sleep the brave ?" unmoved--
By tears of those they loved;
Zen tho the land should prove
False to its trust.
Who hears the orphans moan?
Who heeds the widows groan?
As wandering from their home
Want bids them stray.
Wards of the nation"-they
on Decoration Day
Unconsoled, still must say
Alas, the day
"My country, It's of thee,
Sweet land Of liberty,
Ofthee sing !"
Where starving orphans weep
While DER their fathers sleep
Where they lie buried deep,
Roses we iling.
Where widows vainly sue
For any work to do;-
No vacancies for you'
Cries the great nation;
1--WE know the soldier died
He's still the country's pride;
GrdpeS-must be satisfied
With-Decoration,"
Soldiers whose scars of fame
Still mark the cruel fame
Through whichthe country cam
So long ago
Comrades for many year
Ofthose now silent here
Heed ne the orphans tear
And widows woe.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
A REMEDY SUGGESTED.
TO he Eitor.

notice Star correspondent don't think IL
exactly the fair thing that people west of Rock
creek should be made to pay $3.50 for gas,
while citizens east of the creek get theirs for
$1.50. 1t doesn't seem exactly fair, but he
should console himself, rs VIC of Capitol hill
have had TO for years past in respect to the
water supply and street improvements by
realizing the fact that they, like us, have no
rights which the Four-and-a.ban street czars
arc bound to respect.
1t reminds me of what occurred in west.
ern territory some years ago. A number of
prominent citizens were complaining that all
the offices were given to, and all the appro-
priations were made for the benefit of a par
ticular section of the territory.
"Woll," replied prominent official who
was present, "by God, 1 want you to under
stand that wo here are tho belly of the terri
tory, and you fellows represent the extremi-
ties, and you have no right to anything until
IL has first been digcsted here"
So here the West End is the great nav of
the district, while the rest arc but the ex-
tremites. How do you like it, my friend.
If IL suits you go in for a continuance of the
present irresponsible form of government. If
not, join with the rest of us to secure govern
mont in which the taxpayers can at least
have some voice. CAPITOL Hull.
