THE CANTEEN.
There are bonds of all sorts in this world of ours, Fetters of friendship and ties of flowers, And true lovers' knots I ween: The girl and the boy are bound by a kiss, But there's never a bond, old friend, like this- We have drunk from the same canteen.
It was sometimes water and sometimes milk, And sometimes applejack, fine as silk, But whate'er the tipple has been, We shared it together in bane or bliss. And I warm to you, friend, when I think of this- We have drunk from the same canteen.
The rich and the great sit down to dine. And they quaff to each other in sparkling wine, From glasses of crystal and green: But I guess in their potations they miss The warmth of regard to be found in this We have drunk from the same canteen.
We have shared our blankets and tents together, And have marched and fought in all kinds of weather. And hungry and full have we been: Had days of battle and days of rest. But this memory I cling to and love the best We have drunk from the same canteen.
For when wounded I lay on the outer slope. With my blood flowing fast, and with little hope Upon which my faint spirit could lean, Oh, then, I remember, you crawled to my sfde. And bleeding so fast it seemed both must have died, We drunk from the some canteen.

APPENDIX.
THE COLORS OF THE EIGHTY-SIXTH INDIANA.
As a part of the equipments of the Eighty-sixth Indiana when it was mustered into the service of the United States it drew a stand of colors, issued by the Governor of the State. This stand of colors consisted of two silk flags. One was the regulation stars and stripes, and the other a plain blue, sometimes and usually called the banner. The color- bearers held the rank of Sergeant, and it was considered a position of high honor. A color-guard was detailed from each company who marched with the colors in the center of the regiment, whose duty it was to defend them in battle. When the regiment was thrown into the vortex at Stone's River in falling back its color-bearers were both shot down, and the colors left on the field. The regiment was then without colors of its own.
On the 15th of June, 1863, while in camp at Murfrees- boro the regiment was made the recipient of a beautiful silk banner, the donors being the patriotic citizens of Warren county, a county that had furnished two companies in the regimental organization. The banner was brought from Indiana by William Crow, of West Lebanon, and mainly through whom the money was obtained with which to make the purchase. Joseph Poole, of Attica, was present, and was selected by Mr. Crow to make the presentation speech. His speech was warm-hearted, loyal and full of patriotic sentiment, and sank deep into the heart of every member of the Eighty-sixth. Colonel Dick spoke in response and said:
INDIANA VOLUNTEERS.
"MY HONORED SIR :- In behalf of the Eighty-sixth Indi- ana Regiment I return my grateful acknowledgments to our kinds friends at home for this noble present. It is a beautiful present. In the name of the Eighty-sixth I accept this banner. Tell our friends when you return home the army is loyal. It is in the field for a high and noble purpose. The life blood of our nation hangs upon the virtue of the American people. Are the American people true to their destiny-equal to the issue? The country bequeathed to us by our forefathers is dearer to the Army of the Cumberland than all other earthly ties. Life is nothing, treasure is noth- ing, in the great struggle; what are all other considerations to a country saved? This war will end. An offended Deity will have emptied his vials of wrath upon this nation and be satisfied. Peace will come in the natural order of things. Hardships, troubles and trials, carnage and blood-all these lay in the path of the soldier, and over them he has to walk before peace comes. Peace will never come until conquered by the indomitable power of loyal arms. Until peace is made this noble banner shall float over the Eighty-sixth. Around it we will rally like the Spartan band of brothers. This day, here, we pledge our lives, our sacred houor for its protection. It will be returned to our friends at home, soiled, worn, torn, riddled and battle-slained. it may be, but this, in the name of the regiment, I promise: this beautiful baner shall never be dishonored. Again, in the name of the Eighty-sixth, I thank you for this kind present. We thank the generous donors for this noble gift, and thank you, sir, for the kind words you have been pleased to express. "
Turning to the color-guard Colonel Dick said:
"This day I present to you this banner. It is a gener ous, noble gift from your friends at home. Will you honor that present? Will you, wherever you go. love and protect that banner? Will you uphold it during this righteous war? Knowing you so well I need not ask this of you. Come weal. come woe, come life, come death, be soldiers and men. Trust in God and a good cause. In carrying, kooping, pro tecting this beautiful banner a higher power will protect you.
602
THE EIGHTY-SIXTH REGIMENT,
Receive it, cling to it as the mariner clings to his compass, cling to it until the last earthly hope expires. Love it, and protect it, and as you do this you will be rewarded by men and angels."
After the color-guards had again taken their places in line, the regiment gave three long, loud and hearty cheers in approval of all the Colonel had said, and an expression of thanks to the friends who made the offering.
While the Eighty-sixth lay in camp at McMinnville, Tennessee, during the months of July and August, 1863, the ladies of Boone county procured and sent to Captain William S. Sims, and by him to be presented to the regiment, in their behalf, a beautiful silk American flag. On the 2d day of September, the eve of the departure of the regiment to engage in the Chickamauga campaign, this flag was formally presented by Captain Sims, as follows:
SOLDIERS OF THE EIGHTY-SIXTH REGIMENT :- Having been called upon by the ladies and citizens of Boone county, to perform a duty of no ordinary magnitude, to that of pre- senting to you a flag, bearing upon its folds the stars and stripes, together with the inscription, "Presented to the 86th Regiment, Indiana Volunteers." Having learned that you were without a regimental flag, you having lost yours at Stone's River, where you won for yourselves imperishable honors in that dreadful struggle, they have sent you this flag. It will be chronicled in history for children unborn to read of your deeds of daring at Stone's River where you lost your colors. On behalf of the citizens of Boone county, and especially the ladies, I tender you this beautiful flag, the emblem of American Independence, the banner of Liberty, which our fathers first unfurled with full determination that it shall be respected abroad and revered at home. Take it and bear it on to victory. Let your watchword be, "Victory or we perish." When the din of battle shall surround you and the conflict grows hot, you need only give one glance at this flag, to know and remember that you have the prayers of all the good and loyal, who will continue to sing-
