THE SHADOW OF THE WAR.

We will not siur the glory,
Nor let the cry OF uain
Drown out the triumph music
That celebrates earth's gain;
For stiil does h'stur, repeat
llau's forward march on bloody feetl
Twas two ideals in conflict,
And one must thruit e one;
Aud All mans veal was waiting
Until the fight was done;
Aud from the struggle with its foes
A nobler human hope arOsel
But now, to-day. while with us
With II the shadow wait
The widowed, orphaned, homeless,
The SEX, the dcsOate;
Although we meier can pay the debt,
Wen show them We do not forget!
Remember then ;hL glory;
But, oh, remember, too,
The brONcn lives, . brothers,
Whose pain Is borne for YOU;
Aud lei each veteran feel we know
The wealth of gratitude we owe!
