Let his faults, whatever they may
have been, be forgotten, and only
his virtues be remembered. The
will of God is accomplished
We recommend that the foregoing
memorial be spread on the records

THE SUN WAS SINKING IN THE WEST.

The sun was sinking in the west, and shed its golden ray
Through the branches ofa forest, where a wounded soldier lay.
In the shade of the palmetto, meath the southern sultry sky,
Far from his loved New England home, they had laid him down to die.
A crowd had gathered round him, his comrades in the fight
"A tear rolled down each manly cheek as he babe his last good night.
One, a dear friend and companion, was kneeing by his side,
Striving to stay the life-blood, but alas in vain he tried.
His heart filed with deep anguish when he found twas all in vain,
And upon bis loved companions face the tears rolled down like rain.
Thus spoke the dying soldier, Harry, weep no more for me;
l am crossing the dark river, beyond which all are free.
Listen, comrades, gather nearer! Listen to these words / say;
I've a story l would tell you ere my sprit hastes away.
Far away in loved New England, in the dear old Pine Tree State,
There is one who for my coming with a saddened heart will wait.
A fair young girl, my sister, my blessing and my pride,
My only care from childhood, for I've loved no one beside;
l have loved her a a brother, and with a fathers care
! have tried all grief and sorrow her gentle heart to spare.
I've no mother; she lies sleeping beneath the churchyard sod.
It's been many, many long years since her spirit went to God.
I've no father; he is resting far beneath the deep blue sea.
I've no brother, I've no kindred-there are only Nell and me.
When my country was in danger and called for volunteers.
She threw her arms around my neck, her eys ran Ger with tears,
Saying, Go, my darling brother, drive the traitor from our shore
lhoush my heart 1t needs your presence, your country needs you more.
1t is true l loved my country; / have given her my all.
Fit were not for my sister, ] would be content to fall.
But, comrades, am dying; | shall never see her more.
She will only wait my coming at our little cottage door.
Listen, comrades, gather nearer! Listen to my dying PRAYER.
Who will be to her a brother, shield her with a fathers care:,
The soldiers spoke together-ike one voice it seemed to fall;
She shall be to rs a sister! Well protect her, one and alr'
Then one sigh of deepest anguish, one shadow DER him spread.
One quick, convulsive saudder, and the soldier-boy was dead.
On the banks of the Potomac they have laid him down to rest,
With his knapsack for his pillow, and his musket on his breast.
