THE DAYS OF SEvENTY-slx!
My Grandmother's Story.
BY r. NORMAN GIJNNISON


It was in the early summer,
When the drumming of the drummer,
Growing daily grun and drummer,
Beat the time for marching men.
When across each shaded valley.
And through every street and alley,
Calling patriots to rally,
Came the summons once again
We were in blaze of glory,
For our gran sire told the story,
How the Hessian and the Tory
From the face of Washington
Fled, like sheep when sore atfrighted
How their stalwart ranks were blighted,
just as morning fires were lighted,
Ere they scarce had fired gun.
How, at Princeton and at Trenton,
Troops that Howe had fondly leant on,
Were surprised, while they were bent on
Christmas joys and hours Of glee;
How their ranks were crushed and broken,
AS a signal and a token
That their death-doom should be spoken
By the cannon of the free.
And how Sullivan's deep thunder,
With his cannon cleaning under,
Rent the morning air asunder,
AS our Stark broke into town;
And Row Forests grand artillery
Put the Hessian troops in piliorya.
Pouring forth from the "Distillery%
Iron showers to crush them down
Oh what shouts we gave to cheer them!
Though we knew they could not hear them
Still our blessings fingered near them
We were girls and could not fight.
But we had an only brother,
He, the idol of our mother,
Shared with Stark and many another
In the glory of that night
And, alb me! / had lover,
Though the calling of the plover
Sounds above the flowers which cover
His last rest on Monmouth plain.
How his eyes flashed wide with glory
As he heard our gran sire's story!
Can it be that, crushed and CORY,
He was buried with the Stain?
He was but boy, and tender,
And was delicate and slender.
All, what service could he render.
But he took his fathers gun.
Though he might be slightly froward,
He was certainly no coward;
In the morning, Abner Howard
Joined the troops of Washington.
Then the days grew sad and cheerless,
Though our men were marching fearless,
Chasing up the army, peerless,
Of the British to the coast.
And at Monmouth's dreadful battle

THE EAGLE SCREAMS.

In the last hundred years or SO.
I'm game from
The point of my beak
To the star spangled tips
Of my tail feathers;
And when | begin
To scratch gravel,
Mind your eyes!
I'm the cock of the walk,
And the henbird of the
Goddess of Liberty;
The only gallinaceous
d pluribus unum
On record.
I'm an eagle from Eagleville,
With a scream on me that makes
Thunder sound like
Dropping cotton
On still morning,
And my present address is
Hail Columbia,
U. S. a.!
See? New York Sun.
