Memorial Day.

(By T. c. Harbaugh, Casstown, o.
1 hear the roll of battle-drums among
the Southern pines,
And family thro' the smoke riffs see The
dear old blue-clad lines,
Above them waves Old Glory with its
deathless Stripes and Stars,
The flag that led to victory thruout our
many wars;
1 see the ranks as in a dream sweep
down upon the foe,
Where softly now among the fiow'rs the
Southern breezes blow;
Again the shout of triumph rises ere
the day is done,
And silent grows the battlefield, the
victory is won!
To-day little line of blue goes swinging
down the street:
1 hear the drums that beat in love, /
catch the sound of feet;
The marchers' hair is thin and gray,
but every eyes agleam:
l know that each one yester night had
dreamed a battle dream;
1 lift my hat with honor as the old, old
ranks go by;
1t seems to me the flag we love is proud
DER them to fly;
They followed it to death and fame and
never let it fall
But that some ccmrade picked it up
: az mid rain of shell and ball.
These are the men who in their youth
'h' heroic barred each breast,
Who held above the din of war old
Round Tops bloody crest,
Who in the deadly Wilderness like pa
triots stood true
