character to the kindly village schoolma am the

FOSTER WOULD MAKE NEG
ALIVE OF SOLDIER BOYS.

Paw Paws patriotic photographer
desires The True Northerner to state
that he would like to make a mega
tive of every soldier boy who goes to
the front from Paw Paw. He will
make this negative without cost and
keep the same on file, so if anything
should happen, late picture could be
obtained at any time. This is a
very patriotic and thoughtful thing
for Mr.. Foster to do, and it is to he
hoped that every young man who re-
spends to the Call to the Colors from
this community will take advantage
of his offer. In connection with this
timely and generous suggestion, and
also at the request of Mr.. Foster we
publish herewith that patriotic poem,

SOMEBODY'S DARLING.

In to a ward of the whitewashed halls
Where the dead and the dying lay,
Wounded by bayonets, shells and balls
Somebody's darling was borne one day
Somebody's darling, so young and
brave;
Wearing yet on his sweet pale face
Soon to be hid in the dust ofthe grave
The lingering light of his boyhood's
grace.
Matted and damp are the curls of
gold
kissing the snow of that fair young
brow,
Pale are the lips of delicate mould
Somebody's darling is dying now.
Back from his beautiful blue-veined
brow
Brush his wandering waves of gold;
Cross his hands on his bosom now
Somebody's darling is still and cold.
Kiss. him once for somebody's sake,
Murmur prayer soft and low;
One bright curl from its fair mate
, take
They were somebody's pride, you
know.
,, Somebody's hand hath rested here
Was it a mothers, soft and white
Or have the lips of sister fair
Been baptized in their waves of light
God knows best. He has somebody's
love,
Somebody's heart enshrined him
there,
Somebody watts his name above,
Night and morn, on the wings of
prayer.
Somebody wept when he marched
away
Looking so handsome, brave and
grand;
Somebody's kiss on his forehead lay,
Somebody chung to his parting hand.
! Somebody's watching and waiting for
him,
Yearning to hold him again to her
heart;
And there he lies with his blue. eyes
dim,,
And the smiling childlike lips apart.
Tenderly bury the fair young dead
Pausing to drop on his grave a tear.
Carve on the wooden slab Ger his
head:
Somebody's darling slumbers here"
