No Room for a Mother-in-Law.

A young married man was recently

'that is why l have decided to take

it is fact patent to all that to keep

REVEILLE.
BY ROBERT J. BURDETTE.

The day star shines upon the hill,
The valleys in the shadows sleep;
In wood and thicket, dark and still,
Ny comrades lie in slumber deep,
Far In the east phantom gray
Seals slowly up the nights black pail,
And, herald of the coming day,
The distant bugle's soft notes call
81 can't get 'em up,
! can't get 'em up,
l cant get 'em up in the mornings
| can't get EN- up,
cant get EN- up,
| can't get 'em up at all !"
A thought of motion at the sound
As though the forest caught its breath,
And belted sleepers on the grouLd
More restless, like life in death,
And stumble ing echoes, here and there,
Awaken as the challenge floats,
And louder on the morn ng air
Ring out the cherry bugle notes
Il can't &c 'em up in the morning!
can't get 'em up in the morning!
l can't get EN- up in the morning!
| can't get EN- up at all ~
And as the sh illing strains p DONG,
Flames into rose and go d the day,
And springing up, with shout and song,
Each so dier welcomes march or fray,
Through wooded vale, Ger wind swept
hill,
Where camp fi!cs CLEAN and shadows
fall,
Louder and clearer, cheerily still,
Rings out the merry bugle call
81 cant get EN- up,
/ can't get 'em up,
