LAMENTATION.
O EARLY fall'n, uncrowned with envied laurel. O lives that nameless come and noteless go, Onr vainly brave in an ignoble quarrel. That fought unhating an unhating loo!
Ye pass, ye cease; in alien dust your dnst is; Carnage and. tears depart not, wrath remains ; And Power derides the lips that counsel justice,
And nations wonder and the world arraigns.
And foresight of how long the end yet tarries To no man born of woman hath lie given, Who marshals all His Hashing legionaries Nightly upon the silent field of heaven. WM. WATSON, iii the Daily. News.
