IN COMMAND.
BY CHARLES ". STEVENSON.

Each evening now at twilight.
Along the dusty street.
The drum 5 uncertain beating
Keeps time for willing feet.
As past each open window
4 motley. ragged band.
Our village boys go marching,
With jamie in command.
They little know its danger.
Yet long to greet the day
When in the pride of manhood
They shall march. march away.
In long and shining columns.
To fight on foreign land.
And win undying glory
With jamie IL command
Make ready" shouts the leader.
Each bayonet a stick,
Now charge" They heed the order;
Pell nell at double quick,
All haiti the merry stra ggleTs.
They make their mimic stand.
But their loyal hearts are swelling
With jamie in command
Now, wheeling at the corner.
The braves come slowly back,
Their tattered banners waving.
Torn flag and -four sack:
Now. as lion-hearted victors.
They wave each slender hand,
Ere they file again to conquer,
With Jamie in command
Oh. squad of ragged soldiers,
Al plar with death in life
God grant that all your dreaming
May bring no other strife.
But If. Cor love Of country,
Red battle must be planned.
Give you the lives of heroes.
With Jamie in command,

Grew into weeks, and then the months became
Slow passing years, that ever seemed the same.
Because nor song nor whisper could I raise
Nor take the pen to give your beauty praise;
And all the hours were wearisome and tame,
For did love, and needs must hide the flame.
Lest men should see and mock NE with their gaze
Yet oft burning eagerness came Ger
My soul to know, perchance, if in your heart
Might be secret fame for thoughts of me-
Though knowing could ask for nothing more,
And undeserving of so rich d part,
harbOred hope and pI4yed that it might be.

SUNSHINE AND MUSIC

A laugh is just like sunshine
. It fTeshens all the day,
It tips the peak Of life with light
And drives the clouds away;
The soul grows glad that hears it
And feels its courage strong;
A laugh is just like sunshine,
For cheering folks along.
The evening times. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1895-1902, 1902-09-15

4 laugh is just like music,
It fingers in the heart,
And where its melody is heard,
The ills of life depart;
And happy thoughts come Crowding
It's joyful notes to greet;
a laugh is just like music
For making living sweet.
