OF San Aptonin, n xas.
Our flowery offerings now we bring,
With fragrance of the early spring.
Our choicest garlands Irvine for thee,
Departed sons Of liberty.
So calm and peaceful now We rest,
No wars disturb thy pulseless breast.
Thy work is done, thy day Is DER,
Thou'rt camping on that farther shore.
No more the drums revielle will sound,
To wake thee from thy camping ground.
No more the bugle's notes will blow
To bid thee meet the advancing foe.
In battles strife, when death drew near,
In every shape and form to fear.
when shot aud shell their word haG done
Midst bloody strife the victory's won.
Wreathed with immortelles forever,
Naught from them our love can sever.
Though our hearts with longing wait
For the opening of the Gate.
Waiting for that angel Reaper,
When our day on earth is done,
Waiting to rejoin our loved ones
when this coil of life is spun.
When they'll be n grand reunion,
When that last Assembly" sounds,
When with loved ones reunited
ON that last grand camping ground.
Then let us Irvine our garlands gay
Beneath the skies of llowery May;
And though those perfumed petals fade,
No blight can e'er their memory shade.

The murderer Burage, who brutality
killed his brother-in-law, j. c. McAda,
week or so since, was lynched at
Helena Wednesday by a mob. Burage
escaped after killing McAda, but sur
rendered himself few days ago, and
had been in jail but a short while before
he attempted suicide by cutting his
throat. The mob completed the work
and ended his miserable career by swing
ing him into eternity. This conclusion
was not unexpected, as his crime was
one of the most cold blooded on record.
