You're man enough for d tear in your eye
That you will not wipe away.
You're man enough for a thrill that goes
To your very finger tips
Ay the lump just then in your throat that ros.
Spoke more han your parted lips.
Lift up the boy on your shoulder, high,
And show him the faded shred
Those stripes would be red the sunset sky
If Death could have dyed them red
The man that bore il with Death has lain
These twenty years and more
He died that the work should not be vain
OF the men who bore II before.
The man that bears it is bent and old,
And ragged his beard and gray
But look at his eye fire young and bold,
At the tune that he hears them play.
The old tune thunders through all the air,
And strikes right into the heart:
If ever il calls for you, boy, be therei
Be there, and ready to start.

Uncover the youngsters head!
Teach him to hold it holy and high,
For the sake of its sacred dead.

ESCAPED FROM LIBBY PRISON.
Lieut.. Kupp, in Butternut Clothes,

Lieutenant Kupp. of the Eighty-eighth
Pennsylvania Volunteers. was captured,
with many of his regiment, at Gettysburg,
and taken to Libby prison. He was
known as "a Pennsylvania Dutchman -
and came from Berks county, where Ger
man coIonists settled nearly two centuries
ago, and where their descendants cling to
the old customs and the mother tongue
even unto this day.
Kupp was considerably over six feet in
height, lank long-limbed and inclined TO
be round-shouldered. He was about TWEEN
ty-four years of age, ano the gray eyes,
long dark hair and fuZz-covered face gave
him the appearance of a North Carolina
mountaineer. Just before Christmas the
Confederate authorities, who refused to re-
ceive supplies for the prisoners from the
United States government, permitted
friends in the North TO send down little
food and clothing under a flag of truce.
Uniforms were contraband. SO that all the

Down in the Wilderness,


Oh! this is my song to the Gray and the Blue
Who once were many and now so few,
The young ones, the bold ones,
The grim ones, the old ones,
The fighters who fought out those terrible days
Through the copses and dingles and dark-tangled
Down in the Wilderness
Down in the Wilderness.
It was over the river Rapidan,
And slowly southwark the march began,
Into the solitude,
Into the gloomy wood,
On, on, on, with a wide, strange sound,
Grinding and Earring the sodden ground,
Down in the Wilderness.
All sweet-voiced things had flown away,
Leaving to Grant and Lee
desert and Destiny;
What time their batteries houndered and pounded,
And the bombs through the timber bumped and
bounded,
Down in the Wilderness
Down in the Wilderness.
Tossing and swaying, the hosts did go,
Blindly buffeting, blow on blow,
over the fen-land,
over the gray sand;
And far and near, amid brush and brier,
Cracked the crisp, keen musket fire,
Down in the Wilderness
Down in the Wilderness.
Hitler and thither dashing in vain,
Columns soaked in bulet-rain,
Covered with batte-grime,
Daytime and nighttime,
Stumbled and fumbed on through the maze,
And charged by the light Of their powder blaze,
Down in the Wilderness
Down in the Wilderness.
Each man a hero cleaving his way
Sheer through phalanX of Blue or Gray;
Back and FORTH back and forth,
East west, south north,
Plungirg at death with shout and shot,
Where the ground rippled red and the air painted
hot,
Down in the Wilderness
Down in the WilderT ess.
oh! the heroes who died and the brave who came
forth
Were the soul of the South and the heart. of the
North;
And the strong they sired,
Stand by the guns they fired,
Build the battle spots affairs of stone,
And one old minstrel goes singing alone,
Down in the Wilderness
Down in the Wilderness.
And so take my song to the Gray and the Blue,
Oh! once they were many and now they are few;
Here's TO the bold ones,
The grizzed and old ones,
Who fought through the solitude man to man.
Southwark away from the Rapidan,
Down in the Wilderness
Down i'll the Wilderness.

And the tender voice of May
Seems to whisper and 10 say,
God loves YOU and He has you in his keeping

No more the battle trumpet walls above you;
Rest, soldier, rest-rest soldier, rest
We braid for you the roses for we love you.
o, the boys we used to know,
In the summers long ago.
They are rambling in the rosy fields of glory;
And every flower we strew
over one who wore the blue,
Is a token that commentaries his story.
CHORUS.
Rest, soldier, rest-rest soldier, rest
No more the battle trumpet walls above you;
Rest, soldier, rest-rest, soldier, rest,
We braid for you the roses for we love you.
No matter where they died,
Love is watching at their side.
BY the sea, and the mountain, and the river;
And oft May shall shine,
We win turn to them and Irvine
The garlands of our gratitude forever.
