! sing the hymn of the conquered, who fell in
the battle of life;
The hymn OF the wounded. the beaten, who
died overwhelmed in the strife;
Not the Jubilant song OF the victors, for whom
the resounding acclaim
Vi nations was lifted in chorus, whose brows
wore the chaplet of fame,
But the hymn of the low and the humble, the
weary, the broken in heart,
who strove and who failed, acting bravely q
silent and desperate part;
Whose youth bore no flowers on its branches,
whose hopes burned in ashes away.
FROM whose hands slipped the prize they had
grasped at, Who'll stood at the dying of day
With the wreck of their Life all around them,
unpitied, unheedcd, alone,
with Death swooping down DER their failure,
and all but their faith overthrown.
While the voice OF the world shouts its chorus
its pecan for those who have won;
While the trumpet is sounding triumphant, and
high to the breeze and the sun
CLAD banners are waving, hands clapping, and
hurrying feet
Thronging after the laurel-crowned victors
stand on the field OF defeat,
In the shadow. with those who are fallen, and
wounded and dying, and there
Chant requiem low, place my hand on their
palii-knotted broWs, breathe prayer,
Hold hand that il helpless, and whisper,
"They only the victory win
VINO have fought the good fight, and have van
pushed the demon that tempts us within !;
Who have held to their faith unseduced by the
prize that the world holds on high;
VINO have dared for high cause TO suffer, re-
slst, fight-if need be, TO die"
speak, History! Who are life's victors? unroll
thy long annals and say.
Are they those whom the world calls the yictors
who won the success of a day?
The martyrs, or Nero? The Spartals who fell at
Thermopyla's tryst,
Or the Persians and Xerxes? His judges or
Socrates? Plate or Christ?

THE SOUTH AND THE LOTTERY.

In the South, little less than in the
North, the grasp which the lottery swind-
lers have obtained on the state Of Louisi-
ana is viewed with alarm and disfavor.
The influential papers of the Southern
states frequently contain such expressions
or the subject rs the following from the

Sympathy will not help Louisiana. If
the moral standard of her people is so low
as to permit the triumph of the lottery,
the state is in bad way. In the future,
perhaps, but not in the present, will 1t be
entitled to rank with its sister common
wealths in which the public honor is still
priced and guarded.
