described by Maj. Josiah Grout in
recent article in the MONITOR. / will

Being compelled to surrender, we
were gathered into a small squad and
under a strong guard, commanded by

miles, where we were halted in front

While resting here 1 had occasion
to notice that | had escaped death in
the bloody little fight by a hairs

A Soldier Under Napoleon

Do you see that tumble down cottage there.
Beyond the road, by the sycamore-tree,
With rags in the broken window -pancs,
And thorns where the fower-pots used to bel
You never would think, in such place.
To meet an old hero face to face
A soldier under Napoleon.
There's little heroic L confess,
In the withered old man in his corner chair;
Not a tooth nor a thought in his hairless head,
AS he sits and mumbles and grumbles there;
But if ninety years take much away,
His title, at least will always stay
A soldier under Napoleon.
His dim eyes watch his daughter at work,
A thin old woman in calico;
He sometimes notes her grandson at play
With his painted soldiers all in a row;
And he dearly loves his pint of gin
And his black clay pipe, this man who has been
soldier under Napoleon.
But Jena, Marengo, Austerlitz,
And last and bloodiest, Waterloo
Will his eye not flash if speak these words,
And the sluggish blood in his veins burn true
He's deaf but I'll shout them out till he hear,
And in memorys light, at least, appear
soldier under Napoleon.
'sGood sir" say, ado you recollect
That last great day when, the records tell,
You fought so bravely, nor quit your post
Till the last man left of your comrades felly"
'I've lost the names" he says TO me;

Thoughts for the New Year.

We linger near the door of the New Year,
Wondering to feel this sudden rapture swell
Our hearts with a new hope,-in life's sweet
chimes we hear
Another bell.
A strange new light, golden cleaning dawn,
Though fading heeting, but a moment here;-
think the days of lite quicker here and gone,
With every year
We follow Time upon his onward path.
Through starlit spaces to a fdirer day;
His flying wheel rolls on through clouds and SUM-
storm of wrath
Its course can stay.
Following, fair as in all eons past,
The trooping months attend him on his round,
Giving or taking all life's joys,-yet one to last
Was never found.
The spring-time months with sudden storms and
smiles,
With budding blossom and unfolding leaf;
The summer months with roses sweet as love
when it beguiles;
And autumn's sheaf
Yet these are not so fair as those we seek,
Nor do they smile like those we knew of old.
We must go further. further on;-the days grow
bleak
With winters cold.
Time steals force, and slower we must move
AS passionate power wanes 20 a colder mood
How hard tits to gain our simplest needs,-or
those which prove
Uncertain good.
OH well for those whose swIfter days have sped
Not in a race to an ambitious goal
Casting aside as hindrance life's best gifts,-ioi
gain that fed,
Losing the soul.
Oh! well for those for whom the tide of years
Washes no wreck by storms ofpassion wrought,
But greet each New Years bright recurront dawn
with hopes, not fears,
nd grateful fhou0bt

for valuables. My comrade had a
thumb shot off, but my wounds did
not confine my hands, and managed
to conceal under his chevrons, in his
