Shall tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you'll find it not
Twas fought by the mothers of men.
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,
With sword or nobler pen;
Nay, not with the eloquent word or thought
From mouth of wonderful men.
But deep in walled-up woman's heart
OF woman that would not yield,
But bravely, silently, bore her part
Lo there is the battlefield!
No marshalling troop, no bivouac song,
No banner to gleam and wave!

From babyhood to the grave!

THE HOUSEHOLDERS' JUBILEE.
Oh, talk about your summer time, with bloom
and leafy trees;
Talk about your song-birds and your softly
signing breeze;
Your June time may be charming, but it isn't

Besides the glorious season when the pipes
begin to thaw.
In Winters parting twilight, just before the
Springs gay morn,
Comes that jolly, hopeful feeling, and you're
glad that you were born;
The brooks turn somersaults, the spigots CUR

Indoors and out we're happy, when the pipes

With sigh Ethel swallowed the lasi
