AT VALLEY FORGE.
Al NnllcY Furge-

At Whitley Forge
saw our hag defiant rise
And brightly float In wntry skies.
O'or the redoubt, above tho trees,
Dance gayly In the mornin. breeze,
Show its bright stars above the host
OF men who fiocked 10 honor's post,
Prepared like Spartans bravo and FREQ,
To re-enact ThotuioDolc,
Who held the limo without CULVER
From Valley creek TO Schuylkill river
Mid winters gloom at Valley Forge.
At valley Forge
heard the bugle loud and shrin
Rosound along the vale and hill
Heard clarion drums or liberty
Al every post beat revcllc-
Aud at the rise and set Of sun
Heard morn and evening minutc-gun;
Saw soldiers drill, parade, rcviow,
and heard the night drums Beat tattoo;
From each redoubt, from every height
Heard the alarm ut dead OF night
Along t1Alincs at Valley Forge.
At Valley Forge
In every camp by wood and dale.
saw starving frccmcn. gaunt and pale,
Saw famine with malarial breath
Hold her dread carnival OF death;
Where every hut ana cabin stood.
Saw soldiers starve for want OF food;
Saw suff'ring men, f-clad half fed,
Face foes and hunger, void OF dread,
Renounce the joys OF home and town
For one green leaf from freedoms crown.
Forgetting self at Valley Forge.
AT Valley Forge
Saw barefoot troopers WELD the sword,
That peace and freedom be restorod;
Co hlaodinU
Ger ice-bound roads, through snow and slect,
Saw crimson stains from foot unshod,
And blood bedow the frozen sod;
Men without blankets shivcrlng lie
BY camp-1res meath a stormy sky,
Ana crouchod in huts i'm chat and straw,
The mon who fought for peace and law;
Freedoms vanguard at Valley Forge.
At Valley Forge
sow our own immortal one,
The peerless, wondrous Washington,
In that wild warlike woodland nook,
Raise his calm face and hoavonward look
On cried freedoms darkest day
saw him kneel heard him pray,
On Bonded knee, with lifted hand,
To God 10 save our native land,
saw his proud lips part in prayer,
Felt incense pcrmcate tho air,
For God and home at Valley Forge
From Valley Forge
saw that host with opening spring,
Like mountain eagle on the wing,
In sacred freedoms martial ire,
Swoop on the foe with steel and fire,
For country strike double blow
'Galnst Hessan serf and Tory foe,
'Gainst barb rous savage of the wood.
King George and all his royal brood;
Patriots cxult In victories won
With their own worshipcd Washington,
Who prayed for them at Valley Forge.

In June.

In tho shine Of tho fair June weather,
In the depths ofthc woodland shades,
7 remember we walked together
Through the green Of the dim mr.
cades
And we talked Of tho years before US,
AS bright NJ the skies above,
While The birds in n tunefil chorus
Fang ever Of loye--of love.

Cure for Consumption for Asthma,

Tho warmth Of icrvont passion
In tho light Of your blue eyes shoue
AS YOU spoke IN your tender fashion
OF the faith thatmust still live on
on the truth that should link and
bind us
Forever and ever more.

Till We crossed the farther shore.

The gold Of the sunlight glinted,
The watts of the wind we're sweet,
The glory Of Summer tinted
The flowers about our feet;
And we rocked not of changing seasons,
Nor the chill of the Winters breath,
Nor the bitter doubts and the trcasOns
More fatal to love than death.

That Boy Will be a Lawyer.

There is suburban youngster who
is evidently intended by nature for a
lawyer, if nature can be said ever to
have intended a man to be a lawyer.
He has two prayers that he says at
night-sometimes the one and some
times the other. One is the dear old
Nov l lay me-" and the other a
prayer that this good boy calls "The
Good Shepherd"
The other night his older sister, who
was putting him to bed, improved the
occasion by giving him a little lecture
on the omnipresence and omniscience
of the Creator.
Mamie" said lie after awhile,
"does God know just everything that
we are going to do before we do it ?"
"Yes, Johnny"
"Does he know that | am going to
say "Now 1 lay me-"
"Yes, Johnny
cha Well, I amt going to say it

Tin I'cddler's Dream.

1t was only twelve or fourteen years
ago that a queer thing happened near
Medina, O. A tin peddler who was
driving wagon for firm in Cleveland
was taken sick one day in summer, as
he was driving on the highway, and he
sought shelter in a farm house. He
had a run of fever for seven or eight
days, and when able to get out again
he said to the owner of the farm:
Il am satisfied that there is sum of
money buried on your farm I have
seen the spot several times in my
dream
Oh replied the farmer, if you can
find any treasure here you are welcome
to it,
How much will you take to waive
all claims? persisted the peddler.
'Five dollars worth of milk pans.
IF you will go to town and get
lawyer to draw up the papers in due
form, l will give you $25 in cash.
The farmer tried to laugh the ped
dler out of his notion, but the man was
so earnest in wishing to buy all rights
to what he might find that paper was
drawn up, the $25 paid over, and he
was told to go ahead. He replied that
lie was in no hurry, and mounted his
wagon and drove home, but in about a
fortnight he returned with horse and
