BnErEHE Irish poet Arthur o'Shaush-

X when he wrote those lines
some of the great battle HYMNS
which have inspired armies to heroic
achievements. Every nation has it's
war songs, but the United States is pev
culiarly fortunate in having several
splendid war lyrics which make for
peace Surely the poet who helps to
heal the wounds Of war is entitled 10 a
place Of honor along with the singer

rnior place in the role OF peacemaker

universal and not merely sectional.
Tho High Tide at Gettysburg" a war
ballad written many years after the
event with which it deals, gives fitting
expression to the present feeling of the
south as a part of tho great American
republic.
our lyrical literature is rich in
poems inspired by tho civil war both
during and since that vast conflict.
TWO which may be called real war
hymns, because they were sung by the
soldiers on the march and by the pa
tliotic people nj home, one written by
a southern man and the other by
northern woman, head the list of lyric
"thrllers,' using that word in its most
disniticd sense. Maryland, My Mary
land and "The Eat'le Hymn of the
Republic are the two great war songs
OF the sixties. AS no other lyrics sur
pass the two first mentioned, which
were written after the war, so no
others suTpass or equal these two
splendid songs which, the one south
ern and the other northern, inspired
the soldiers TO heroic deeds from the
early days Of 1861 to the close of the
struggle.
1t is a remarkable fact that the au-
thors Of these four most widely popu-
lar and most generally accepted civil
war poems are at the present writing
still living. The authors and their
poems are Francis Miles Finch 1.-THE
Blue and the Gray" Will II. Thompson.

On one such occasion when he had

over the nose. which gives to her
eountenance a frowning and slightly
sinister aspect.
Her only visitors have been her
mother. Mrs. Annie Pornwiski, and
her grandfather. old Philo Burch.
Her own father. who, according to
the sworn testimony of her mother.
was Isaac Stanton Field, scion of an
old Putnam county family, has never
been near her since she entered the
asylum. and has not written or man
ifested the slightest interest in her.
Nor has any member of his family
been heard from. The child still
remains paternally disowned, and,
for this reason, she has aroused
more than the usual interest at the
big asylum, where there are over
700 inmates.
Superintendent Lamb was asked
if Jennie Burch was likely to harm
anyone after her release from the
asylum. Il think not" he said
Certainly not so far as we are able
to Judge, based on our observation
of the girl. She is certainly no more
likely to do harm now than at any
later period of her life"
If released it is considered I'M
likely that the charge of arson will
ever be pressed against the Burch
girl. Some. little time before she
administered poison to the child she
set fire to a big double barn on the
Winship farm. Her excuse for that
was she had merely wanted to see
if wet hay would burn. After she
killed her little charge she attempt
ed her own life with the same poi
son. She could be tried for that, but
it is said to be improbable that any
such step will be taken.
