rivers of Pennsylvania all his life.
and had worked at the modest buI

and every Sunday evening he had
passed over the bridge to visit his sis,

In Pennsylvania many of the
bridges are toll bridges. and even foot
passengers are required to contribute
at least two cents every time they
cross. This shoemaker had observed
that Il large number of men in the

Oh, fatal field Fatal. alas
To many noble heart
Thy bitter tale may neverpass
From memory's train-it is par;
of sorrows that shall never fade
Until death has quenched their smart
The rank green grass has hid from sight.
The bloodstains deep and red.
And daisies spring where ragged the fight
And the ground lay thick with dead:
An where he fell. the hero youth.
The viOlets make their bed
Where sung the Minie's awesomc notes.

OF battles rage profound;
