EUGENE FIELD.
It is well that Eugene Field lived.
He wrote much to cheer men, to in
spire them to make themv better, to
make them go v about the toil and
drndgeryof eyery day's monotonous
exhistence with'ilghther hearts. He
wrote much, too, to touch the tender
er minor chord of men's heartstrings.
But if he had ; liyed and died and
written but one poem - he had lived
well, and after life's fitful fever would
nave slept well. These are the lines :
The little toy dog is covered with
dnst,
But sturdy and staunch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with
rust,
And the musket moulds in his hand.
Time was when the little toy dog was
new
And the soldier was passing fair,
And that was the time when our lit
tle Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
"Now, don't you go till I come," he
said,
"And don't you make any noise!"
So toddling off to his trnndle-bed
He dreamt of the pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming an angel
song
Awakened our little Boy Blue
Oh, the years are many, the years are
