SONG OF THE MAINE.
Little Emma Baett9e Tells in Rhyme of the Havana
 Tragedy,

The tales of war have seized upon the soul of little Emma Baettge, the 13- year-old daughter of one of the men of the Monterey, and she has poured out her childish patriotism in two dozen lines of poetry, of which tn men of the monitor are as proud as if it had helped them to capture a ship. Each man has copy, and every one Is able to repeat the stanzas from memory and the proud father keeps the original for exhibition on state occasions only The tragic end of the Maine is the theme of the song of the youthful poetess, and the fires of enthusiasm glow from every word and phrase. The verses are as follows:
 THE BATTLE-SHIP MAINE. Into the harbor of Havana
 One winters day there came
 One of Uncle Sam's white squadron.
 The battle-ship Maine.
 And she dropped her anchor
 In that quiet little bay,
 She came with the intention
 Of a very peaceful stay.
 But one night as she lay peacefully
 Underneath the southern moon,
 torpedo came and sent the ship
 And sailors to their doom.
 Little did they think that night
 When the buge sounded taps
 And they took down their harnmockR
 That that would be the last
 This cruel wrong must be avenged.
 We'll fight with heart and fame To make those cruel Spaniards pay
 For the lives on the battle-ship Maine. Now all of you who have left a heart
 To give to war and whirl,
 Go fight, and you will have the prayers
 Of little American girl.

Sleep the sleep that knows no dream.

On their arms the Nations warriors
Wait TO hear the battie-cry.

He who fought the foe unyielding
In that awful battle fray.
Yonder pass the shades of heroes,
And they follow where Bragg leads
Through the meadows and the river,
But no ghost the sentry hecds.
Field of fame, patriot army
Treads thy sacred sod today!
And they'll face common foeman,
Those who wore the blue and gray,
And they'll fight for common country,
And they'll charge to victory.
