CHORUS.
HUMOR IN SONG.

Humor had its place among the war
songs as we'll as sentiment and martial
spirit. Henry c. Work, the author of
Marching Through Georgia." wrote:
GRATED INTO THE ARMY.
Our Jimmy has gone to live in tent
They have grated him into the army.
He finally puckered up courage and went
When they grated him into the army.
told them the child was too young. Alas,
At the captains forequarters they said he
would pass
They'd train him up well in the infantry class
So they grated him into the army.
CHORUS.
Oh, Jimmy, farewell! Your brothers fell
Way down in Alabarmy;
thought they would spare lone widder's
heir,
But they grated him into the army.
Dressed up in his unicorn, dear little chapi
They have grated him into the army.
1t seems but day since he sot on my lap,
But they have grated him into the army.
And these are the trousies he used to wear
Them very same buttons-the patch and the
tear
But Uncle Sam gave him brand new patr
When they grated him into the army.
Rhymesters in the army were not only
numerous, but never without theme.
Sometimes it concerned a company, at
others regiment or brigade. For in.
stance, a certain Chicago company, hav-
Ing distinguished itself at Shiloh, adopted
song the refrain of which, sung to the
rollicking air. "The Leg of Duck" an

Your turn s coming some other day,
Bully for you! Bully for you'll
Every popular tune in vogue was appro-
priated that suited the passing whim of

Won't You Come Out Tonight" Shoe
Fly, ""Old Uncle Ned" and a score of
othors are members of this family. Here
is one of tho favorites sung to the tune OF
"The Low Back Car" by Miles Reilly:
SAMBO AS A SOLDIER.
Some tell us it is burning shame
To make the naygurs fight,
And that the trade of being kilt
Belongs to but the white.
But as for me, upon my sowl
So liberal we here
I'll let Sambo be murthered in place oi
myself
On every day in the year.
/ CHORUS.
On every day in the year. boys,
The herald., 1895-07-17

And every hour in the day,
The right to be kilt I'll divide with him,
And divl word I'll say.
The men who object to Sanbo
Should take his place ans fight,
And it's better to have a naygurs hue
Than IA liver that's wake and white.
Though Sambo's black as the ace of spades,
His fingers a thrigger can pull,
And his eye runs straight on the barrel
sights
From under his thatch of wool.
CHORUS.
So hear me all, boys darlings,
Don't think I'm tipping you chaff,
The right to be kilt I'll divide wild him,
And give him the largest half.
"The Year of Jubilee" was an especial
favorite and many time has beguiled tho

Among the authors Of the time was the
late Charles G. Sawyer Of Brooklyn, to
whom we arc indebted for the following,
which quickly found it's way across the
lines and became popular in the south. It
was written in the autumn of 1861, and
more than 1000, 900 copies have been sold:
WHEN THIS CRUEL WAR is OVER.
Dearest love, do you remember
When we last did meet,
How you told me that you loved me-
Kneeling at my feet?
Oh how proud you stood before me,
In your suit of blue,
When you vowed to me and country
Ever to be true.
CHORUS.
Weeping, sad and lonely,
Hopes and fears, how vain!
Yet praying, when this cruel war is over,
Praying that we meet again
When the summer breeze Is signing
Mournfully along,
Or when autumn leaves are falling,
Sadly breathes the song.
Oft in dreams see thee lying
On the battle plain,
Lonely, wounded, even dying,
Calling, but in vain.
The herald., 1895-07-17

Another of the numerous war songs
written by Mr. Root and which acquired
O popularity that has not yet passed away
is known wherever the English language
is spoken as
TRAMP, TRAMP, TRAMP, THE BOYS ARE
MARCHING.
In the prison cell sit,
Thinking, mother, dear, Of you,
And our bright and happy home SO far away.
And the tears they fill my eyes,
Spite Of all that can do,
Though try to cheer my comrades and be gay.
CHORUS.
Tramp, tramp, tramp the boys are marching;
Cheer up, comrades, they will come,
And beneath the starry flag
We shall breathe the air again
OF the free land in our own beloved home.
In the battle front we stood
When their fiercest charge they made.
And they swept off, q hundred men or
more,
But before we reached their lines
They were beaten back, dismayed,
And we heard the cry Of vict'ry Ger and Ger.
Eo within the prison cell
We are waiting for the day
That shall come to open wide the iron door,
And the hollow eye grows bright,
And the poor heart almost gay.
As we think of seeing home and friends once,
more
In different strain, but with pathos
that endeared the song to thousands OF
households as we'll as to the boys In camp,
the same composer wrote:
JUST BEFORE THE BATTLE, MOTHER.
just before the battle, mother.
am thinking most Of you,
While upon the field we're watching
With the enemy in view,
Comrades brave around me lying,
Filled with thoughts of home and God,
For well they know that on the morrow
Some will sleep beneath the sod.
CHORUS.
Farewell, mother you may never
Press me to your heart again.
Oh. you'll not forget me, mother
II I'm numbered with the slain.
The herald., 1895-07-17
CHORUS.

Other touching songs of affection that be-
long to this group are Mother, I've Come
Home to Die, Brothers Painting at
the Door" and 1.-THE Vacant Chair" The
latter, by Henry s. Washburn, is still a
favorite throughout the country:
THE VACANT CHAIR.
We shall meet, but we shall miss him;
There will be one vacant chair;
We shall linger to caress him
While we breathe our evening prayer.
When, year ago, we gathered,
Joy was i'll his mild blue eye,
But golden chord is severed,
And our hopes in ruins lie.
CHoRUs.-We shall meet, etc.
At our areside. sad and lonely,
Often will the bosom swell
At remembrance of the story
How our noble soldier fell
How he strove to scar our banner
Through the thickest of the fight
And upheld our countrys honor
In the strength of manhood s might.
True, they tell us wreaths Of glory
Evermore will deck his brow,
But this soothes the anguish only
Sweeping DER our heartstrings now.
Sleep today, o early fallen,
In thy green and narrow bed!
Dirges from the pine and cypress
Mingle with the tears we shed.
The herald., 1895-07-17
WHO WILL CARE FOR MOTHER NOW,

Why am so weak and weary?
See how faint my heated breath.
All round to me seems darkness.
Tell me, comrades, is this deathp
All, how well know your answerl
To my fate 1 meekly bow,
If you'll only tell me truly
Who will care for mother nowf
CHORUS.
Soon with angels I'll be marching,
With bright laurels on my brow:
I have for my country fallen.
Who will care for mother now2
Who will comfort her in sorrow?
Who will dry the falling tear
Gently smooth her wrinkled foreheade
Who will whisper words of cheer2
Even now think l see her
Kneeling, praying for mellow
Can / leave her in anguish?
Who will care for mother now2
Let this knapsack be my pillow,
And my mantle be the sky.
Hasten, comrades, to the battle,
/ will like q soldier die.
Soon with angels I'll be marching,
With bright laurels on my brow.
I have for my country fallen.
Who will care for mother now?

1.-THE Battle Cry of Freedom.
1t was ono of several songs written by
George +. Root, composer and publisher
of many other beautiful songs and ballads
prior to 1861, and was first sung by the
celebrated Hutchinson family at mass
meeting in the city of New York. Mr..
Root was born In Sheffield, Mass, Aug.
30, 1920, and as an evidence of his virility
the incident may be related that as recent
1yas January of the present year, at mil
itary entertainment in Chicago, the ven.
orable maker Of the verse and music, gray
haired, yet alert, was called to the stage
and in a strong voice sang his own patri
otto rallying song. At the end of each
verse he was cheered to the echo, and not
content with that the audience took tho
words out of the mouths of the army of
singers and Joined enthusiastically in the
chorus
The story has been printed that during
the desperate fight in the Wilderness, May
6, 1864. Federal command was driven
back in disorder with heavy loss. Re-
forming, it prepared once more to confront
the enemy. At this moment some Of tho
men of the Forty fifth Pennsylvania began
to sing:
Wen rally round the flag. boys, rally once
again.
The refrain was taken up by other rcgi
ments in line of BATTLE and, with recovered
spirits, the previously disheartened boys
dashed back into the thick of the fight.
The original words are as follows:
Yes, we'll rally round the flag, boys,
We'll rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry Of freedom.
We will rally from the hillside,
We will rally from the plain,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.
The herald., 1895-07-17

Among the songs commemorative O
the death of Colonel Ephraim E. Ellsworth
was the following:
DEATH OF ELLSWORTH.
Down where the patriot army,
Near Potomac's side,
Guards the glorious cause Of freedom,
Gallant Ellsworth died.
Brave was the noble chieftain,
Who at his country's call
fastened to the field Of battle
And was the first to fall.
CHORUS.
Strike, freemen, for the Union;
Sheathe your swords no more
While remains in arms traitor
On Columbia's shore.
First to fall, thou youthful martyr,
Hapless was thy fate;
Hasten we as thy avengers
From thy native state.
Speed we on from town to city,
Not for wealth or fame.
But because we love the Union
And our Ellswcrth's name.

Den I wish I was in Dixie, ct

When the war broke out, other lines
were written to fit the measure, and the
stirring melody at once became the chief
war song of the south. 1t is said that Pres
ident Lincoln requested band to play
Dixie in 1865 short time after the
surrender of Appomattox, remarking that
las we had captured the rebel army we
had captured also the rebel tune"
The herald., 1895-07-17
CHORUS.


The Union foreverl Hurrah, boys, hurrahi
Down with the traitors, up with the stars,
While we rally round the flag, boys,
Rally once again.
Shouting the battle cry Of freedom.
We are sprnging to the call
OF our brothers gone before,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom,
And Wen fill the vacant ranks
With million freemen more.
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.
We are marching to the field, boys,
Going to the fight,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom,
And We'll bear the glorious stars
or the Union and the right,
Shouting the battle cry Of freedom.
If we fall amid the fray, boys,
We will face them to the last,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom,
And our comrades brave shall hear us
AS we are rushing past,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.

A BOOMING YOUNG CITY,

Not everybody knows that a
booming young city is coming to
the front out forty miles north Of
Texarkana, on the Texarkana & TT
Smith railroad, but it is a fact nev-
erthless.
Winthrop is the name of this city,
and, in view of its fine location, at
the soon.to-be terminus of one rail
road, and the principal inland town
on another, its fame is not surpris-
ing. The Texarkana & Fort Smith
road will soon be completed to it,
and branch railroad will be built
out to Rocky Comfort. This will
give it two railroads.
Winthrop is located on a beauti-
full, high plateau, midway between
the Red and Little rivers, with no
city of consequence nearer than
Texarkana, and being only six
miles from the Indian Territory,
may hope for big trade from this
fertile region.
A splendid opportunity is now
afforded investors, as well as per-
sons seeking a desirable location for
for a new home, The following
persons have bought lots, within
the past few days; NJ. Fl. Bales
of Ohio, S. B, Andrews, M. D. Til

Now is the time to invest, as
choice business lots can be had for
$75 and best resident lots for $25.
Those who wish to buy before the
railroad reaches the town should
