THE LITTLE GIRL OF GKTTYsBUR0.

Twas Gettysburg's last day.
The dead and wounded lay
On trampled fields and ridges battle-torn.
Among the outer posts.
Around the guarded hosts,
Rode Hancock, watchful, on the fated morn
And lo little child,
With eyes and tresses wild,
Close to the lines and strayed and met him there
And dtightly to her breast
heavy load she prest-
A musket-all her slender strength could bear.
"My brave and pretty dear,
Tell me, how came you here
Upon the field. before the fight is done7
Then, at her l1sped reply,
Tears dimmed the Generals eye;
