THE BOYS IN BLUE TO THE BOYS
IN QUAY.
BY "PB IV ATE MILES o'REILLT," U. S. A.
Men who hare, in n.any a battle,
Made the hail jound either rattle,
Keeling over men and cattle,
Souls and bullets on the wins;
Must this war, its woes expanding.
Still be pushed, fresh lives demanding,
We like gladiators standing
Elbow-bloodied in the ring?
Grapc-sbot rustling, lullets singing,
Round shot humming, orders tinging,
ADd our torn, loved ags a swinging,
Forward in the fiery gales;
Bugles fiercely, sharply" sounding,
Sheets of fiame the sight confounding,
And o'er'all, the heavy pounding
Of the red artillery flails !
Brethren, thus we stand confronted,
Every bayonet foiward slanted,
Tired and bloody, but undauuted
Shall the work again begin?
Shall the cry again be slaughter,
Your blood, our blood, shed like wate-r-Pitiless
and useless slaughter,
In a fight ye cannot win ?
Curse the symbols that divide us,
Folly and fraud alone divide us,
Brethren, join us stand beside us
Both have wrongs to wipe away;
All our feuds forgotten, ended.
Let our flag, with forces blended,
Henceforth bear imperial sway!

Rattleskake Bits. TLe Grant county (Uli
jiois) Herald relates , that ,a man .named. Lyon
was bitten three times on J.he . foot by a : rattle
snake while binding grain, and fell to the ground.
He was carried to the house, drank half a p'nt of
alcohol and camphor, tlten a quart of whiskey,
and then a quart of pure alcohol, feeling no
symptoms of intoxication. The neyt toroHig lie
felt some numbness and pain m hs. limb and
drank another pint of alcohol, then swallowed a
quarter of a pound of fine-cut chewing . tobacco
boiled in sweet milk. These doses, which it
would be supposed would kill anybody, had no
injurious effects, and the fourth day after the
bites be felt well enough, only a little soreness
from the knee down.
That man was, indeed, badly snakebitten.
