When this tube gets inflamed you have a

when 1t Is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be

The Irish Drummer Boy.
Thrice up against their battery
We rushed to the attack,
And thrice with fearful slaughter
Our lines were driven back;
Once more our colonel marshalled us,
And on we rushed again,
But, torn and shattered, back recoiled
With scarcely half our men.
A cry of terror thrilled the ranks,
And wavered the brigade;
Before their battering guns we stood
Pale, painting, and dismayed;
The last man Of the color-guard
His death-shot there had found,
And, close beside, his battle flag
Lay torn upon the ground.
Fast flashed the red artillery
Our bleeding column through,
And thick and fast to earth they fall,
Our gallant men in blue;
A shuddering thrill, an icy chill
Through every bosom runs,
As faster fall the shot and she'll
From the Confederate guns.
Twas then an Irish drummer boy
Goo young for such a scene)
Stepped proudly to the foremost ranks,
Dressed in his jacket green,
And snatched from earth the ,tattered
flag
That lay all CORY there,
Regardless of the kissing shell
That hurled through the air.
Proudly before the foeman's guns
He waved that flag on high,
His face lit up, his fearless soul
Shone in his flashing eye;
The light of Heaven and martyrdom
Beamed on his glorious face,
AS if at once were centered there
The fire of all his race.
"Shame on you, boys! Will you desert
The old flag to the foe:
Come on! Who shrinks before his guns,
Or fears his rebel blow?
Charge! for our own old flag again"
With fearless voice he said;
A moment more and in his gore
The drummer boy lay dead.
We heard him shout, we saw him fall,
The green flag in his hand;
We gazed upon his boyish face,
So fearless, proud, and grand;
And from our ranks there burst a yell
For blood, revenge, or death,
As if the internal fends of he'll
Had leaped upon the earth.
Up! against that blazing battery,
With fercely flashing blade,
In frantic fury, fiercely sprang
Each man of the brigade.
No human force, no human power
Could turn that shock aside;
Deep, deep in blood our blades avenged
That little boy who died.
Wrapped in his flag we buried him,
And DER his lonely grave,
With saddened hearts, our whole brig
ade
A farewell volley gave;
For drawer meier on field or plain,
From Foyle to Fontenoy,
Died for the free more grand than he
That Irish drummer-boy.
