THE HOME CIRCLE
The Bivouae Of the Dead.s

&A0
No more on hfe's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On flames eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards, with solemn round.
The bivouac of the dead.
No rumor of the foes advance,
Now swells upon the wind;
No troubled thoughts at midnight
haunts
Of loved ones left behind;
No vision of the morrows strife
The warriors dream alarms;
No braying horn nor screaming fife
At dawn shall call to arms.
Their shivered swords are red with
rust,
Their plumed heads are bowed;
Their naughty banner, trailed in
dust,
Is now their martial shroud,
And plenteous funeral tears have
washed
The red stains from each brow,
And the proud forms, battle gashed,
Are free from anguish now.
The neighing troop, the flashing
blade,
The bugle's stirring blast;
The charge, the dreadful cannonade,
The din and shout, are passed;
Nor wars wild note nor glory's peal
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those hearts that nevermore may feel
The ranture of the fight.
Like the fierce northern hurricane
That sweeps his great plateau,
Flushed with the triumph yet to gain,
Came down the serried foe.
Who heard the thunder of the fray
Break DER the field beneath,
Knew well the watchword of that day
Was victory or death"
Long had the doubtful conflict ragged
Ger all the stricken plain,
For never fercer fight had waged
The yengeful blood of Spain;
And still the storm of battle blew,
Still swelled the CORY tide;
Not long our stout old chieftain knew
Such odds his strenth could bide.
Twas in that hour his stern COM
mand-
Called to a martyrs grave
The flower of his beloved land,
The nations flag to save.
By rivers of their fathers gore
His frst-born laurels grew,
And well he deemed the sons would
pour
Their lives for glory, too.
Full many a norther's breath has
swept
Ger Angostura's plain
And long the plying sky has swept
Above its mouldered slain.
The ravens scream or eagles fight,
Or shepherds pensive lay
Alone awakes each sullen height
That frowned Ger that dread fray.
Sons of the dark and bloody ground.
Ye must not slumber there,
Where stranger steps and tongues
resound
Along the needless air,
Your own proud lands heroic soil
Shall be your filter grave;
She claims from war his richest spoil
The ashes of her brave.

YOST VS CAMP
University of Michigan Coach Does Not Agree With Chairman of
 Football Rules.

Detroit, Mich, Dec 22.-Fielding II. Yost, coach of the University of Michs igan football eleven, last night mailed a letter to Walter Camp, chairman os the football rules committee, regarding proposed changes in the rules. Coaci, Iost shows disinclination to agree with Mr Camp that the team having possession of tho ball must advance it ten yards in three downs. Yost sug- gests allowing four downs for the re quisitc ten yards. A rule of three downs for ten yards, Yost says, would in game between two well matched teams develop a mere bunting duel.
 Other suggestions made by Coach Yost are as follows:
 Allow five men back of the line of scrimmage.
 Do not abolish the low tackle, but legislate against the double tackle.
 Let the rules stand as at present, as far as roughing is concerned, but make the officials enforce them.
 Have the officials named by a cen tral appointing board.
 Make the time of halves thirty min- utes. instead of the present 8 min utes.
 Regarding roughness in the game, Coach Yost says:
 ''In the entire history of football at Michigan, we have never had man seriously injured in playing or practic- ing the game. Regarding brutality on the field, can only coincide most heartily in your views. No punish ment is too severe for such an offense. Disqualification is ont unreasonable. There are enough clean, able players fin every school to make up an eleven that can play the game as gentlemen should"
