[This poem was written on tho No.

or Chantilly, Va, September 1, 1862. I
Close his eyes; his work is done!
What to him is friend or foeman.
Rlse of moon or set OF sun,
Hand Of man or kiss Of woman?
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover OF the snow!
What cares he? he cannot know:
Lay him low!
AS man may, he fought his fight,
Proved his truth by his endeavor;
Let him sleep in solemn night,
Sleep forever and forever.
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snow!
What cares he? he cannot know;
Lay him low!
Fold him in his country's stars.
Roll the drum and fire the yolley,
What to him are all our wars?-
What but Mountaineering folly?
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snow!
What cares he? he cannot know:
Lay him low!
Leave him to Gods watching eve:
Trust him to the hand that made
Mortal love weeps idly by;
God alone has power to aid him.
Lay him low, lay him low.
In the clover or the snow!
What cares he? he cannot know:
Lay him low!

Few Will Miss Thee.

rev VIII MISS Thee.
Few will miss thee, friend, when thou
For month in dust hast lain,
Skillful hand and anxious brow;
Tongue of wisdom, busy brain
All thou vert shall be forgot,
And the place shall know thee not.
Shadows from the bending trees
Ger thy lowly head may pass,
signs from every wandering breeze
Stir the long, thick curchyard grass
Wilt thou heed them? No; thy sleep
Shall be dreamless, calm and deep.
Some sweet bird may sit and sing
On the marble of thy tomb.
Soon to fit on joyous wing
From that place of death and gloom,
On some boughs to MARBLE clear,
But these songs thou shalt not hear.
Some kind voice may sing they praise,
Passing near thy place of rest,
Fondly talk Of "other days.
But no throb within thy breast
Shall respond to words Of praise
Or old thoughts Of "other days"
Since SO deeting is thy name,
Talent beauty, power and wit,
It were we'll that without shame
Thou in Gods great book vert writ,
There in golden words to be
Carver for eternity.

The Crooked Path.

All, here it is! The sliding rail
That marks the old remembered spot,
The gap that struck our schoolboy trail,
The crooked path across the lot.
1t left the road by school and church;
A penciled shadow, nothing more,
That parteu from the silver birch
And ended at the farmhouse door.
No line or compass traced it's plan;
With frequent bends to left or right,
In aimless, Maynard curves it ran,
But always kept the door in sight.
The gabled porch, with woodbine
green,
The broken milestone at the sill,
Though many a rood might stretch be-
tween,
The truant child could see them still.
No rocks across the pathway lie,
A>O Itt4AC1A u ulA Is " I'll IL lufOWu,
And yet it winds, we know not why,
And turns as if for tree or stone.
Perhaps some lover trod the way,
With shaking knees and leaping
heart;
And so it often runs astray,
With sinuous sweep or sudden start.
Or one, perchance, with clouded brain,
From some unholy banquet reeled;
And since our devious steps maintain
His track across the trodden field.
Nay, deem not thus; no earth-born will
Could ever trace a faultless line;
Our truest steps are human still,
To walk answering were divine.
Truants, from love, we dream of
wrath;
Or, rather, let us trust the more!
Through all the wanderings Of the path
We still can see our Fathers door!

City of the Sleeping.

o, City of the Sleeping,
Home of the happy dead!
How softly night comes creeping
About each lowly bed!
How gently fall the shadows
Where weary hands must lie,
How gratefully the stiffness
Rebukes the worlds sad cry!
Without the voice of passion,
OF sorrow and of pain;
Within, the whispering grasses,
The leaf song and the rain.
o, City Of the Sleeping,
Unbar thy gates Of dead,
And take me to thy keeping,
Safe with the happy dead!
