ANOTHER THRTIETH OF MAY.

The rusty slouch, the faded blue,
The form that yields tOgath ring years
Each time the veteran ranks we view
One comrade less in line appears.
No more, adown the tented street,
When morning brings the Reveillee
Shall drums awake, with martial beat,
The men who made the nation free;
Nomore they sleep, mid Southern pines
After the battle and the march,
Protected by the picket lines,
No roof above save Heavens arch:
Antietam flows meath Burnside's
bridge,
And through the field where Mansfield
died,
But on South-mountain's wooded ridge
No bloody issues now are tried,
Old Rappahanock courses still,
Where once the Grand Divisions fell,
Charging the sunken road and hill
Which Lee and Longstreet held so we'll;
Around Atlanta are the heights
That trembled to the batt'ries roar
But Logan, of hundred fights,
Sherman, Mcpherson, are no more.
The grain is waving, far and wide,
Where dying Reynolds checked the
South,
Where Pickett led Virginia's pride
Up TO the flaming cannon'S mouth.
A hundred fields have left no sign
That mighty armies there were masSed
And half a million of the Line
With Grant and Sheridan have passed.
Unto the men who wore the gray
/" The praise that faith and valour
give"
The flags they carried, in the fray,
To these, the fearless, freely give;
From Maine to Texas, let US, all,
AS John Paul Jones comes DER the sea,
The glorieS of our land recall,
The land OF Grant, the land of Lee.
