Unknown Hero
- ines Dead.

FANNIE L. FANoHER.
Though unknown to me, when l read
4 his death,
How it thrilled my being through
The tears unbidden will quickly how,
When We learn what heroes do.
Like flint he stood at the throttle
valye.
Well knowing it was certain death;
Applaudrd the world his msrtyrdom
Murmuring "hero" with bated
breath.
While musing on his untimely end,
Sad thoughts unto me came
OF those who suffer the hero's death
Yet win neither tears, nor fame
The earth is dotted with unknown
graves,
OF martyrs, whose race is run,
Yet ne'er from mortal lips, is heard,
The plaudit, 30 sweet, "Well donel"
They stood with hand on the throttle.

OF duty, day after day,
While carking care, enrecompensed,
Wore their lives, and hearts away
For others they moiled, for others
died t'
They're missed more in death than
life; H
Yet alas! There ne'er deemed hero
ines,
When finished their struggle, and
strife.
The hero, we know suffered deaths
quick pangs,
Long sutfr ring, they died in PAIN.
Thank God for release he gives, at
last,
For to such death is great gain.
Old world, when you raise your
plaudits high
For heroes, who've nobly bled,
Forget not cheer, or tear, pray,
For unknown heroines, dead.
