MEMORIAL DAY, 1907.
COMMUNICATION page one.)

Sleep where their friends cannot find
them today:
They Who in mountain and hillside and
dell
Rest where they awearied, and lie where
Softly the grassblade creeps round their
repose,
sweetly above them the wild flower
blows;
zephyrs of freedom fly gently o'erhead,
whispering names for the patriot dead
So in our minds we will name them
once more,
So in our hearts We will cover them
Ger;
Roses and lilies and violets blue,
Bloom In our souls for the brave and
the true.
Cover them over-yes. cover them
Parent. and husband, and brother, and
lover;
Think of those far-away heroes of ours.
And cover them over with beautiful
fiowersi
When the long years have crept slowly
away,
Fen to the dawn of earth's funeral day:
When at the archangeTs trumpet and
Rise up the faces and forms of the
dead;
When the great world its last judy
ment awaits;
When the blue sky shall swing open it's
gates,
And our long columns march silently
thru,
Past the Great Captain, for final re-
view;
Then for the blood that has flown for
the right,
Crowns shall be given, untarnished and
bright;
Then the glad ear of each war-mar-
tyred son
Proudly shall hear the good judgment,
"Well DONE"
Blessings for garlands shall cover them
Parent, and husband, and brother, and
lover;
God will reward those dead heroes OF
ours,
And cover them over with beautiful
flowers,

The Sleeping Soldiers.
(By Arthur j. Burdick.)

Some sleep meath the soft Summer sun
of the South,
Where the flowers never fail and the
vine ever springs;
Where the air bears perfume and the
echoes repeat
The rapturous song that the mock
ing-bird sings.
Some rest mid the wales and the hills
of the North,
Where the pine and the hemlock
stretch sheltering arms;
Where the warning winds pipe in the
treetOps as loud
AS the bugle once sounded its brazen
alarms
Some wait the last trumpet meath pep
per and palm;
Some lie in the lowlands and some
on the hill;
Some sleep in the billowy arms of the
sea,
And in far distant islands some lone
ly graves fill
Wherever they lie, North or South, East
or West,
We have garlands to-day for these
brave sons of ours.
Our hearts give them love, our lips
offer praise,
And our hands strew their graves
with beautiful flowers.
All, rough were the roads that we're
yours in the march,
And fiery and bloody the paths that
We trod.
But peaceful and quiet and flowery the
way
Henceforth till earth's heroes are
summoned to God.

Wen March in Grand Review.


tBy P. F. Zeise. 4th W. Va, Middle
port, o.
Well. boys, it's up to you'ens all to say
what should be done
Bout marchin' on Encampment days
and brilin' in the sun.
Some say we're lame and totterin' now,
and don't look well in line,
But you jest bet your last hve-cent
piece 1 take none O. that in mine.
1 kin march as good as ever, p'raps not
quite so long nor fast,
AS we used when huntin' "Johnnies"
in them way back days 'ets past;
But when I hear the bass drum snort
and the soul-inspirin' fife
I'll wobble into ranks, "by gum," and
march to beat yer life.
I EN- bound to play the soldier, Jest az
long es I'm alive,
And when in line I'm back agin to six
ty-one and five,
And I'm jest as young as ever then, my
hearts as glad an light,
Eff my steps hain't quite SO stiddy and
my hair hez all turned white.
Hit does my OF frame lots O. good to
dress up to my Com"
And start my left foot foremost when
1 hear the big bass drum;
And while I'm marchin' down the
street, my feelin's rise sublime,
And Way off 1 hear 'em shoutin' when
they break the rebel line.
Oh, yes: we're gettin' older. OF course,
that's what they say;
But we gifts a tri1e younger when ct
comes reviewin' day;
And don't furgit we'll be thar, Jest Like
when we freed the slave,
And there's nothin' here kin stop US,
exceptin' hits the grave.
There hain't no use expoundin' Nv the
Ills that vex us now,
Bout rheumatic and failin' sight, bent
forms and "frostypow;"
You air still one of the boys" you
know, that had the vim and grit
To come when Uncle Abram called"
and I guess you've got some yit.
S'pose we "brother up" in ranks once
more, and hev another tramp,
And imagine we're in Dixie Land and
marchin' into camp;
Don't let nothin' ever hinder you, fur
ct makes our ole hearts swell
When they holler that we're comm
and the crowd begins to yell.
And the darlin' little children, with
Air wild with joy to see you-some's in
silks and some's in rags
But that doesn't make no diff'runce to
neither me nor you;
When we see 'em wave "Old Glory"
why, we know their hearts is true.
Strike out all this contendin' and a.
chawin' of the rag,
Bout marchin' on Encampment days
behint the good ole flag
That you fetched from down in Dixie,
and hev always helt so dear;
We soon shall cross life's Rubicon to
reach a higher sphere.
And when we're all assembled there
together-"Gray ond Blue
Well form the column all in one, and
march in Grand Review
Before the Throne, while angel songs
our souls with rapture swell,
And salute the benediction, Thou hast
done thy duty WE'LL

Somebody's Pride.
(By Clemet Scott.)

Plume on his helmet. and sword to the
shoulder,
Sound the advanced! Never call the
retreat!
Some are as fair, not a man can look
holder,
Reigning his charger, to ride down
the street.
Up with the windows, the regiment
passes,
Glory will cover the old colors that
droop;
Love lights the eyes and the lips of the
lassies,
SOMEBODY mods to the Pride of the
Troop.
Dust on his helmet, and sword that is
broken;
Sound the recall to the scattering
men;
Victory waivers, with death for its to-
ken;
Hundreds return to u.s. Where are
the ten?
Lone in chamber a maiden is weep
ing
Eyes that have sparkled with sorrow
can droOp;
Dead On the battlefield heroes are Sleep
ing
Somebody prays for the Pride of the
Troop.
Laurel on helmet, q sword that is rust
ed,
Gather the women and marshal the
men!
Honor IS due to the soldiers we trusted !;
Cheer for the hundred, but weep for
the ten!
Out from the crowd a young maiden is
lifted,
Lifted on shoulders that CALAMITY
stoOp;
Tears are forgotten, and sorrow has
drifted,
Somebody kisses the Pride of the
Troop!

(By Il. c. Harbaugh.)
There's a sound among the pine trees
In the battle-haunted glade,
And bird her mate is calling
Where the fircest charge was made,
And river fair is flowing
Meath the bivouac of the true,
And the wind is gently blowing
Thru the old camps of the Blue.
Yonder stalks ghostly sentry,
All. you cannot hear his tread,
For his beat but dimly stretches
Thru the long aisles of the dead,
And single drum seems beating
Where the old ranks used to form,
And thousand wait the signal
For the bursting of the storm.
On hilltop floats banner
Gaily out against the sun,
And the light glints fiercely, bravely,
On the silent braZen gun:
There are violets in the valley,
And the clover fields are red,
And the squadron brave, retreating,
Leaves behind line of dead.
IT'S a dream, To-day are falling
Bud and blossom for the true,
And the wreathlet and the chaplet
Lie upon the breasts of blue; .fl
From the mountain to the river,
From the river to the plain,
Meath the dropped and bordered BAN
ner -r
Come the marchers once again.
And thinned and silvered remnant
OF the ranks that long ago
In the thickest of the battle
Sought in youth the eager foe,
Bent, and proud and noble daring
Step again behind the drum,
And to comrades meath the cedars
Say with faithful lips, I'VE come"
With the blossoms of the meadows,
With the bloom that fecks the void,
With the roses in their beauty
And the lily's heart of gold,
Wet with Heavens star-kissed dew,
And the winds of night will stir them
On the bosoms of the Blue. 80.
Aye, from every mart and hamlet,
Aye, from every loyal home,
Come the blossoms for the heroes,
Who once fought on land and foam;
Peace and Love unite to crown them
over all the land to-day,
And upon each mould'ring bosom.
Fall the treasured bloom of May.
Let the wild war drum be muffied,
Let the silent tear be shed,
While Columbia crowns her children
In the bivouac of the dead;
There's rose for every hero,
There's a wreath for all to-day,
And a Nations love grows stronger
Meath the Bonded skies of May.

To peace-white ashes sink wars lurid
flame,
The drums had ceased to growl, and
died away
The bark of guns, where fronting
armies lay,
And for the day the dogs of war We're
tame,
And resting on the field of blood
bought fame,
For conquered peace Ger horrid war
held sway
On her won field, score of years to-
day,
Where to her champion forth a white
flag came.
o. Nations chief; thine eyes have seen
again
whittier flag come forth to summon
thee
Than that pale scarf which cleaned
above wars stain
To parley DER the end of its red
reign
The truce of God that sets from battle
free
Thy dauntless soul and thy worn life
from pain.

Decoration Day.

(By Susie M. Best.)
Here is a lily and here is a rose,
And here is heliotrope,
And here is the woodbine sweet that
grows
On the gardens sunny slope
Here is a bit of mignonette,
And here is geranium red,
A pansy bloom and a violet
1 found in a messy bed.
These are the flowers 1 love the best,
And I've brought them all to lay
With loving hands where soldiers rest,
On Decoration Day.

The Passing Of the Veteran.

(By ]. E. Gilman.)
The years roll by. Time swiftly wings
its flight,
We're growing old.
The wintry blast has touched us with it's
blight,
We're growing old.
Our eyes are dimmed, our ears refuse
to hear,
Our faltering steps proclaim the. end is
near.
1t was not thus when treason raised its
head.
Then we We're young;
When strong men paled and all was
doubt and dread,
Then we were young.
At Lincoln's call we fought for liberty.
A land we saved, people we set free
We murmur not at our advancing age,
Thy will be done;
We've played our part; we're passing
off the stage,
Thy will be done.
We wrought for God, for country and
for right,
We've borne our cross. o, may our
crown be bright.
Close his eyes, his work is done!
What to him is friend or foeman,
Rise of moon, or set of sun,
Hand of man, or kiss of woman?
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or 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 countrys stars,
Roll the drum and fire the volleyi
What to him are all our wars,
What but death bemOcking folly?
Lay him low, ETC.
Leave him to Gods watching eye,
Trust him to the hand that made
him.
Mortal love weeps idly by:
God alone has power to aid him.
Lay him low, ETC.
