We had tried that day in wild fierce
charge
To carry the rebels works,
But they held their ground with the
stubborn grip
OF the death-inyiting Turks.
The deadly hail came tearing out
Of their forward rifie-pits,
And the "Yank" who tried to take
fresh air
Would take it in cut-up bits.
Well, l needn't tell you we pumped
iC back
In steady stream of lead.
And woe betide the topmost tip
Of Johnny rebels" head!
Well what do you think?-no, you'll
never guess
If you guess the whole year thro'--
When our muskets were cracking
like kindling-wood
AMI the air was red and blue. =
Out of the nearest rifle-pit,
Where they lay securely walled,
AS sure as you live, before our guns,
A Johnny rebel" crawled.
To say we couldn't believe our eyes
Is to draw it not too fine
But, sure enough! he was creeping
along
Straight at our blazing line.
What's that you asked?-did we stop
to look?
Well, you should have seen the way
We shot the stream of molten fire
At that mad, dim patch of gray?
Why, you'd thought an ant couldn't
live out there
Where that seething torrent fell
And you'd say that passing butter
fly
Would SINCE in that living hell.
But there he was, a-crawling down
Full length on the crimson grass
The tufts would jump where our
bullets struck
And the blue smoke rise and pass:
But still, with a death-defying luck,
That Johnny rebel came
With never a halt or turn aside
From that bath of lead and flame.
He had got some fifteen feet away
From the mouth of his rihe-pit-
(And if ever the law of chance held
true
He'd never get back to it).
When he reached a little sumac bush
That grew in the open field
| ct wasn't leafy enough for a screen,
Nor thick enough for a shield.)
And he half stretched up and broke
a twig-
(Heigh-ho, how the bullets flew!)
He needn't have snapped it oft, we
thought
Our lead would have cut it in two.
Then he turned hand to his old
canteen,
He fixed it fast to the stick,
And forward he leaned in the bloody
grass
With motion sharp and quick
When up from the sod a soldier
raised
His last great fight was fought
And we saw-great Godl our captain
quatf
The water the Johnny" brought
We saw the light of a mighty JOY
Come over his dying face,
And we thought we saw, thro' the
drifting smoke,
The North and the South embrace
jim Brown, who never was known
to melt,
Looked down at his riddled coat,
Then, turning, walked half-shameC
away
For his eyes were all af1oat!
All, boys. we were weaker than ba
bies then,
And our thanks rose, deep and SLOW
To the Mighty one who had turned
our shot
From the breast of our dearest foe
And many deed I've seen in war
That the books have spelled on
large,
But never a sweeter act Ill see
Till l take my last discharged
Yes, we asked his name when tn,
fight was done.
AS miner'd look for gold,
/ And over the Yankee fires that nigh
The story was told and told.
We blazed his deed in our limos
hearts,

He is certainly without an equal in size and symmetry. Experts in estimating dressed weight of big hogs are cordially invited to attend, and no pains will be spared to make their visit pleasant, and one long to'be remembered. No man will enjoy any especial privilege by any knowledge of the live weight of this hog for he has never b cen weighed nor will he be, until slaugh- tered and dressed. He will be weighed with liver, heart, lungs, tongue, and fat from the intestines left in carcass. He is the largest hog ever killed in New England.
