Harry o. Hall.

Unfurl to the breezes our Nations
proud ensign,
And give three times three for the
Stripes and the Stars;
Salute the old Flag, boys, and then into
action,
And fear not defeat, nor the battles
grim scars.
Our country expects US to do our full
duty,
In front of the foe to acquit US like
men;
We'll stand by our guns as our fathers
before us,
Till victory crowns our best efforts
again.
Remember Paul Jones and Bon Homme
Richard,
Tight lashed to the Scraps, gun
touching gun,
And how with her ensign still waving
defiance,
She only succumbed when the battle
was won,
While Jones, her brave Captain, and
= gallant survivors,
Sailed off on their prize with her
panic-struck crew,
Thus winning conflict ne'er heard of
in story,
But which, my brave lads, may be
equalled by you.
The enemy's guns cut the gaff from her
ensign,
And Paul Jones was asked if his flag
he had struck.
I'm only beginning to fight" was his
answer,
And sprang with his word to the
midst of the ruck.
With hammer and spike they nailed
fast the torn banner
UDOu the SDliced gaff of the BOnny
Richard.
1.-The man who lays hand on that flag"
yelled the Captain,
''Shall hang by the neck to the end of
the yard"
The last that was seen of the Bon
Homme Richard,
AS down sank her head with the
taffrail in air,
Was waving defiantly Ger the blue
water,
That tattered but unstricken ensign
SO fair.
The flag was the one which the ladies
of Portsmouth
Had fashioned from pretty coats
made of fine silk,
Presented to Jones when he sailed on
the Ranger
To capture free-booters and ships of
that ilk;
The flag which the guns of the French
feet saluted:
The first of its kind which had cross d
the broad seas:
The flag which first caused the proud
Cross of Great Britain
To fall while in action--the flag of
the free.
No vessel before in all history's pages
Fer won such fight with so gallant
a foe,
For Bon Homme Richard, with colors
still flying,
Made prize of the ship which had
sent her below.
And Perry, on Erie, we have not forgot
ten,
Exchanging his flagship midst grape
shot and shell,
How bravely he fought against odds in
that battle
And conquered his foe, We remember
1t well.
Said Perry: Those villains intend for
to down us;
But push on, brave laddies. you need
never fear"
And then with his coat he soon plugg' d
up the yawl boat,
And on thru the fire and the smoke
he did steer.
There's Farragut, too, on his flagship,
the Hartford,
In New Orleans Bay. tightly lashed
to the mast,
With Full speed ahead" ringing out
Ger the water,
Not leaving his post till the danger
was past
Our Dewey and Schley we can never
pass over;
The sound of their cannon still rings
| in our ears;
The Boys of the Maine who were cruel
ly martyred,
Well ever remember with sorrow
and tears.
Chorus.
Hurrah, then, hurrah, for the Star

HEW BOOKS in the lit
erary history of this
= country had such in
stantaneous success and wide
popularity as the Isl Klegg",
series. From the very first
the story attracted a host OF
readers, and these increased
II geometrical ratio as the
publication progressed. !
1t is the story plainly, SIM
ply and truthfully told Of the
development of two green
country boys into veteran
soldiers of the highest type.
The story is told with affec-
tionate fidelity by one who
marched, camped and fought.
with them, and there is a
universal agreement that it is
far the best story of the ex-
perience, of the enlisted men
In the Union Army that has
ever been written. Every
detail and incident is SO
truthful, so like his own ex-
perience that the veteran in
stantly recognizes it with
a burst of laughter or the
tears yelling into his eyes.
The abounding humor of the
book is one of its most fas-
rinating features. Wherever
it is possible to extract fun
out of any situation or hap
pening it is done in the real
old army way. The heros of
the story see the fun them
selves at once and the
author vividly depicts it.

The Hall Of Fame.
1t was Sergeant Bates, of the G. A. r.,
Who said, as he puffed at a good cigar,
After Comrade wilkins had begged a
light
For they'd gathered around on meet
ing night:
'I'm one of those fellows who held a
gun
At Gettysburg, and at old Bull Run,
At Lookout Mountain and the Wilder
ness,
And I've seen my share of war, I guess.
And the arm that used to be on that
stump
left somewhere in an alder clump,
Parted clean by four-pound pill
That came from the nights of Malvern
Hill;
And many's the time I've watched death
dew
Steal over the brow of a boy in blue.
Heroes l call thenl-worthy the name
AS the brave who are meant for the
Hall of Fame
You're right, old comrade," said Cor
poral Rand.
AS he took the Sergeants remaining
hand;
"I, too, was there at Malvern Hill.
And i left a leg at Andersonville,
In the prison pen, where l had to go,
To hull had 1ai
I've seen deeds done by soldier chaps
Well worthy the man with the shoulder
straps,
And 1 remember a drummer boy,
The dear old regiments pride and Joy,
Who, when the colors went down one
day,
Plucked up old Glory from where it
And saved its capture. All, that was
brave,
1t earned for the lad a soldiers grave,
And had l power place I'd claim
For that drummer boy in the Hall of
Fame.
yet, comrade-this great hall. you see,
Isn't meant for the likes OF you and me.
Yet l believe-you may think me
queer
The real temple of fame is right in
here
Yes, right in the halls of the human
heart,
Which throbs for all who have done
their part,
From the heroes brave to the humblest
one,
Clean down to the man who bore the
gun;
Who stood his ground and kept his
place,
When he and the foe were face to face
For the other boys who are far away
Whose graves in the South are gree:
to-day,
Who gave their lives-they are not
few
Who died for the old Red, White and
Blue
To the end of time II will be the same,
The peoples hearts are their temples of
fame"

Our Country.

When our forefathers first came forth
Out OF the North,
The sense of justice was enshrined
In heart and mind,
Their souls they held to be as free
AS liberty
Herself; and on thru every age
This heritage
They fought and bled and died to save
Until they gave
The proudest of their children law
To hold in awe,
A love for freedom passionate,
An equal hate
For tyrants and their brooding ills,
And dauntless Wills
To keep fat slaves from golden gives
And heliot lives. w r.
