The Battle Of the Pipes.

Twas midnight when heard a shrek,
The crash Of blade on blade,
As though two knights fought jowl by
cheek,
DER some poor frightened maid.
I heard the war-axe bite on shield,
The short sword striking crest.
A cultural cry for one to yield,
The means Of one hard press'd.
And then one mighty warrior fell
Came armor crashing low;
The whole house shook for quite a
SPELL
His gurgling breath went slow.
All covered close lay in dread,
Afraid to move or speak.
There, in the presente OF the dead.
My flesh was cold and weak.
And an night long the victor lay
Near BY. but wounded sore.
Death ratified in his throat till day,
His blood dripped on the floor.
With daylight I grew strong and bold
And dared TO look about
Instead Of warrior stark and cold
The furnace FIRE was out
Came from the pipes those mighty
blows,
Some water dripped upon my clothes
The fire alone had died

Hard to make three dollars purchase

THE GREAT MYSTERY.


The wintry winds are keen and cold
And hills are mantled deep in snow
The leafiess trees stand bare and bold
And frozen streams in silence flow.
No song of bird to greet the ear,
No bloom Of flower to charm the scene
No whipping brook the eye to cheer,
Nor shady nook of verdure green.
Deaths mantle lies on natures breast
And ice cold is the chilling breath
That fans the grave OF natures rest
And whites the canopy OF death.
But meath the bed Of death and snow
A recreated life is born
That yet viii bloom and be aglow
To greet the dawn OF summers morn
So when deaths night shall fall above
The grave, where all in silence lies,
The recreated birth of love
Immortal, from the tomb shall rise.
