A BEAUTIFUL LYRIC. ■ + The following poem, which waß written by Cabel Lyon, of Lyonsdale, N.Y. (America), and published in the Oddfellow in the early sixties, will probably be read with interest: — x'HE DYING VOLUNTEER. It was after Churubusco's fight — after that iron rain That cleft the foenum from our path as reapers cleave the grain, Where ghastly bodies, thickly piled, gleam by the camplight near, That his comrade knelt and comforted a Dying Volunteer. He lay" upon the battlements that with his blood were t won, On the spot where he had fallen before the setting sun He was brave among the bravest that have battled in the war, And the standard he bore proudly was our own excelsior. Towards the gates of Mexico his glazing eyes were turned, Where domes and holy temples with the evening sunlight burned; ' The goal that he F liad longed for, before him tempting lay, And his spirit struggled madly ere it j parted with its clay. And when "the breeze of even — LakeChalco's gentle breath — Came laden with dim wailings — t'was when he thought of death; j And Taycubaya's vespers floated on the j midnight air, j Blended with -groaning wretchedness, and echoes of despair. . — — - — — — | Chamberlain's iKv"* Tablets .— FOR CONSTIPATION.
