Appropos to the meeting of the G A. R. national encampmen
at Toledo this week, one of our old soldier friends, Mr.. L. O. Clark
hands us the following lines on the little bronze baton, as q favor
tie song with all che Grand Army boys:
How dear to the heart Of each grey headed soldier,
Are the thoughts of the days when W. still or the blue,
While memory recalls every trial and danger,
- And cene of the past are brought back to his view.
Though long since dscardng Or arm and equipments,
There's n thing a veteran most surely will note:
The first thing he sees OF The form of a comrade
Is the little bronze button he wear o n his coat.
CHORUS:
The little bronze button,
The sacred bronze button,
The Grand Army button,
He wears on his coat.
Chow much did it cost?' said a a to a soldier,
'That little fat button you yea o n your coat?'
'sTen cents in good money, - he answered the stranger,
"And four years of marching and fighting to boot"
The wealth of the world cannot purchase this emblem,
Except that the buyer wore the brave blue;
And it shows to mankind the full marks of a hero,
A man who to honor and country was true
Then let us be proud of the little bronze button,
And wear it with spirit both loyal and bold;
Fraternaly welcome each who supports it,
With love in or hearts for the comrades of old,
Each day musHrs out whole battaliOns of wearers,
And soon will be missed the token s dear,
But millions to come will remember with honor
The men who'd the right that bronze button to wear.
