..Tn a Ilttle lonely hiiloclx,

"In little lonely hillock,
 Where the south wind softly signs, There his many marches over,
 There the unknown soldier lies Neyermore the drum shall wake him, Sleeping there beneath the sod; Never, till the flesh shall quicken At the sounding trump of God. Whence he came, or whore enlisted, Tn the army of our land; when he fought or when he rested, { At the leaders stern command. When, at last, his warfare ended, These ! little know or care; Hero! he who died for freedomi = Counting not his hearts blood dear. This I know, a mother bore him, Send hin. with her holy love; Many a night she listened for him; It may be she watches sadly
 For the foot that never more, Never. never, shall tread lightly o'er the dear old household floor. Some one. wife perchance, or sister, Buttoaed first the faded coat; That his life-blo od stained with erim- when the cannon's fiery throat Flashed the swift, grim death to thous-
 ands.
 Falling as the crave can fall, When they sacrifice to freedom,
 Grandly giving up their all. Friend, for those dear ones who loved
 thee,
 Tn thy home so far away; For the vacant chair that never shall Be filled again for aye; For the flag that waved above thee, In the thiekest of the fight, Here weave my mournful chapter, Gallant soldier of the right. Softly may the seasons wrap thee; Winter with his stainless snow. Spring. with fairy fingers o'er thee, All her sweetest blossoms throw, Summer with her heart of fire.
 Thou her roses o'er thy rest, And the Autumn winds their requiem Vail ebove thy silent breast. Unknown soldier of my country;
 Unknown brother of my heart, Let a nations grief embaIm thee, Let a nations love have part. In his grave so green and lonely,
 For our ehildren's babes shall weep Tears of grateful. fond affection.
