WOUNDED AND HOMEsIOK SOLDIER,
BYI. j. JAMIsoN.

Wounded, In sorrow, far from my home,
Sick, among strangers, uncared for unknown,
Even the birds that used sweetly to sing,
Have quickly and silently taken the wing.
No one but mother could cheer me to-day,
No one for me could so fervently pray,
Kindly she'd say 10 me be OF good cheer,
Mother would comfort me II she were here.
Left on the field midst the groans and the erie
or the heroic dying, who hope their flag flies
Still In the face or the arch traitors zeal,
Who'd pull down our nag and our liberty SELL
o, may the God OF our Washington brave,
Save the dear flag that our fore fathers gave;
Save II for freemen, save for its worth,
Save IL for loved ones leIt in the north.

To witness more agony, suffering and woe;

But TO live or to die for my land OF the free.

WHAT THE BOY THOUGHT.

The elaborate and highly polished
dude fisherman, armed with the latest
and most improved tackle and ap-
purtenances, was scouting along the
stream when he met a boy with pin
hook turnout.
"Oh, say, boy" he called to the
youngster, sis there any good fishing
about here ?"
What kind Nv fish ?" inquired the
boy, dropping his jaw in amazemenr
at the vision before him.

Strikes and Strikers.

The pending coal strike is the larg-
est in the United States. The distur-
Dances and dangers In consequence
have been so great in several States as
to necessitate the calling out OF troops.
Up to the present writing both sides
stand firm, the operators being rather
the more determined to win in the
end if reports be true. Some Of them
declaring that they will work their
mines with the aid of rifles if need be,
and that they will concede nothing to
strikers. In the meantime, however,
the mines are not turning out enough
coal to meet the demand for it, and
consequently wood is being used in,
stead in many cases as very poor
substitute.
The striker no doubt has the right
to quit work if he wishes and also to
use all peaceable means to persuade
others to do the same. But his pre-.
sumptuous right to enforce the willing
worker from the premises is the arbi
trary act that can find no justification
in law or equity, and the act thai
generally starts the fight, first among
laborers and then between the opera
tors and the laborers. 1t frequently
happens that the intimidated mel
who prefer to remain at work are tht
first assaulted and consequently tn,
first to resent assault through conni
vance and encouragement of EN-
ployers who know when best to court
peace or war for their own pecuniar,
advantage.
