In Kindly Remembrance Of Lawrence
w. Smith.
There's a new made grave up on tho
hill,
And in 1t is laid to rest
Another grand old settler,
With his hands clasped on his brea st
In boyhood's bright and happy days
From Drin's Isle he came.
And in this dear adopted land
Carved for himself name.
Yes. carved q name Of honest worth,
This patriot, good and true,
Who was faithful to the dear old land
And loyal to the new.
His name is found upon the roll
OF those in sixty-two
Who answered to their country's call.
The gallant boys Of blue.
And now he sleeps upon the hill
Sleeps sweetly, meath the cross,
While those who loved him dearly
oh! long shall mourn their loss.
The summer with it's flowers shall come
The birds will sing around
Where we have laid him down to rest
Up in the burying ground.
Sleep calmly. then. my dear old friend,
Sleep calmly with the blest,
My prayer Is that God may grant
To you, eternal rest.

The splendor of the triumphs out of

The beauty of the cities and the armies

But the mother love that wraps around

Is sweeter than all triumph and is

The mother-love is patience bearing
all the years Of care,
With faith to take the burden up; with
strength to lift and bear:
The mother-love is wardcr of the rosy

With kiss goodbye to little ones who

In columns of four, silent, with not
a canteen rattling, with scabbards
thrust under their stirrup leathers
each man sitting in his saddle like
statue, ready carbine flung forward
across the pommel, those sunburnt
troopers moved steadily down the
broad coulee. The troopers riding at

Custer's plan was surprise, the sudden
shifting of that village in the valley
from the rear by the quick charge of
his horsemen. From man to man the
whispered purpose travelled down the
ranks. the eager troopers greeting the
welcome message with kindling eyes.
1t was the old way of the Seventh,
and they knew it we'll.
With Custer riding at the head Of
the column, and only little to the
rear of the advance scouts, his adult
ant Cook, together with volunteer
aide. beside him, the five depleted
troops filed resolutely forward, dream
ing not of possible defeat. Suddenly
distant shots were heard far of to
their left and rear, and deepening into
rumble, evidencing warm engage
ment. The interested troopers lifted
their heads, listening intently. while
eager whispers ran from man to man
along the closed files.

word of command.
Yet there were those among them
who felt strange dread-that firing
sounded SO far up the stream from
where Reno should have been by that
time. Still it might be that those
overhanging bluffs would muf11e and
defect the reports. All about them
hovered death in dreadful guise. None

from the former quarrel, in which I
fear my father was in the wrong, he
left the guard house with the openly

"Your mother" he said regretfully,

the causeless gossip connecting her
name with the case, as we'll as the
open disgrace of her husbands con-
viction. She refused to receive her
former friends, and even failed in
loyalty to your father in his time Of
trial. It is impossible now to fix
the fault clearly, or to account for her
actions. Capt. Nolan turned over all his
property to her, and the moment she
could do so she disappeared from the
fort, taking you with her. From that
hour none Of her old acquaintances
could learn anything regarding her
whereabouts. She did not return to
