increasing in its fury, and that year. that
fatal year, of 1865, had dawned upon US
and at that last grand struggle at Apo

press our sentiments:
"Furl that banner" and we furled 1t,
AS the poet priest had said,
Furled it slowly. furled 1t sadly,
For our hopes, alas! were dead.
"Furl that banner" and we furled it,
Though our hearts were bowed with pain
AS we thought upon the heroes
Who beneath it's folds were slain.
''Furl that banner" and we iurled it,
Banner of the sacred cross;
AS we furled it, many a woman
Knelt, and wept some loved ones lost.
"Furl that banner" yes we furled 1t,
Laid 1t softly down to rest;
But the place where We enshrined 1t
Was within each faithful breast.

Yes, we furled it, and we laid it
In our hearts far out Of sight;
But our Southern women taught their
children
That their fathers cause was right.

example, the handsome pOmpadOur print

over which ruffies of the organdie fall al

and four embroidered bands upon the skirt
add to the richness of the costume.
