A CONFEDERATE NOTE.

Representing nothing on Gods earth now,
And naught in the waters below 1t,
As the pledge OF nation that passed away.
Keep II, dear friend, and show IL;
Show It to these who will bend an ear
TO q tale this trlfe will tell
or liberty born Of 4 patriots dream
OF a storm-cradled nation that fell.
Too poor to possess the precious ores,
And too much OF u stranger TO borrow
We issue today our promise to pay
And hope to redeem on the morrow
The days rolled on, the weeks became years,
But our coffers were empty still;
Coin was so scarce that the treasury quaked
If dollar should drop In the till
But the faith that was in us was strong indeed
Though our poverty wellwe discerned
And this little check represents the pay.
That our suffering veterans earned,
They know it had hardly value in gold,
Yet as gold our soldiers received It;
But our boys thought little OF price or pay,
Or Of the bills that were overdue
We knew il 1t brought our bread today
Twas the best our poor country could do.
Keep 1t! 1t tells all our history over,
From the birth of our dream till its lost;
Modest and born Of the Angel Hope
Like our hope of success, IL passed.
