Our Young Recruits.
FRIENDLY GREETINGS FROM THE BOYS AND
GIRLS.
Lives there man with soul so dead,
Who never to himself has said,
This is my own, my native land
Whose heart has ne er within him burned,
As home his footsteps he hath turned
From wandering on foreign strand?
III such there breathe, go, mark him wellf
For him minstrel raptures swell;
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim;
Despite those titles, power and pelf,
The wretch, concentred all In self
Living shall forfeit far renown.
And, dOubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored, and unsung.
-siT Falter Scott.
