ers, brothers, every one,
God's peace attend your sleep.

WILL ALLEN DROMGOOLE.

Our battle-fields, safe in the keeping,
Of Nature's kind, fostering care,
Are blooming,--our heroes are sleeping,--
And peace broods perennial there.
All over our land rings the story
Of loyalty, fervent and true;
"One flag, and that flag is Old Glory,"
Alike for the Gray and the Blue.

JOHN HOWARD JEWETT.
