A. r. wero held this morning. The graves
of the men who served in the Civil War

Camp Meade.
Again the valley hears tho ring
OF rare Phil's cavalry:
And Sherman marks shorter path
Though Georgia to the sea;
Our Farragut sweeps treason out,
!. Mast dashed at Mobile Bay,
And Grant, at Appomattox, shows
The world nober way. as.
The eagles cry your reveilie- !
AThe echoing sunset gun
Sounds the tattoo, where now you sleep,
Upon the fields you won,
A Anation keeps your treasured dust,
While with a loving pride, --
Her children hold In sacred trust -
The rights for which you died.
And vanished save Ia memory,
The men who, living knew %S.A<,-
Forever slaverys grave lay hid,
Meath mounds Of army blue,
Where stand they now, who, bronzed
and true,
We called our heroes then?
Ono day in all wars panoply,
The next citizen.
Secure the soil where loyal hearts
A nations bulwark stands,
With sleepless vigilance to guard
The Freedom of their land.
And long as Southern violets bloom,
Or Northern dasies blow,
May we, beneath one common flag,
10 peaceful conquests 60.
