One by one they are being mustered out by the Great Commander. one by one they are going down to "their low green tents whose curtains never out- ward swing." When Reveille is sounded on the other shore, and "Taps" are beaten, may we stand shoulder to shoulder as of yore. and the flag we loved when living wave over millions yet unborn. God bless every man who wore the blue during the Rebellion. J. P. SAIN, Company B.

HISTORY OF THE SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT

Why He's a Comrade.
[J. W. Crawford ("Captain Jack") to Corporal James Tanner. ]
Hold on! Hold on! My goodness! You take my breath. my son, A firin' questions 't me like shots from a Gatlin' gun. Why do I wear this eagle an' flag an' brazen star? An' why do my old eyes glisten when somebody mentions war? An' why do I call men "Comrade." an' why do my eyes grow bright When you hear me tell your gran -ma I'm goin to Post to-night. Come here, yon inquisitive rascal. and set on your gran-pa's knee, An' I'll try to answer the broadsides you've been a firein' at me. Away back in the sixties, and along afore you were born. The news came atlashin' to us one bright and sunny morn That some of our Southern brothers, athinkin' no doubt, 'twar right, Had trailed their guns on our banner, an' opened a nasty fight The great big guns were boomin. 'an' the shot flyin thick an fast, And troops all over the Southland war rapidly bein' massed; An' a thrill went through the nation-a fear that our glorious land Might be split an' divided an' ruined by mistaken brother's hand. Lord, but wan't there excitement, an' didn't the boys' eyes flash? An' didn't we curse our brothers for bein' so foolish an' rash? An' didn't we raise the neighbors with loud and continued cheers When Abe sent out a doekyment a callin' for volunteers? An' didn't we flock to the colors when the drums began to beat, An' didn't we march with proud steps along the village street ? An' didn't the people cheer us when we got aboard the cars With the flag awavin' o'er us, and went away into the wars? I'll never forgit your grand- ma as she stood outside o' the train. Her face as white as a snowdrift. her tears afallin' like rain. She stood there quiet an' death-like. mid all o' the rush and noise, For the war were atakin' from her, her husband and three brave boys- Bill, Charley and little Tommy-just turned eighteen, but as true An' gallant a little soldier as ever wore the blue.

OHIO VETERAN VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.
It seemed almost like murder to tear her poor heart so, But your gran' dad couldn't stay. baby, an' the boys war determined to go. The evenin' afore we started she called the boys to her side, An' told 'em as how they war always their mother's joy and pride, An' though her soul was in torture. an' her poor heart bleedin' and sore. An' though she needed her darlings, their country needed 'em more.
She told 'em to do their duty wharever their feet might roam. An' to never forgit in battle their mother was prayin' at home; An' if (an' the tears near choked her) they should fall in front o' the foe, She'd go to the blessed Savior and ax Him to lighten the blow. Bill lays an' awaits the summons 'neath Spottsylvania's sod. An' on the field of Antietam Charlie's spirit went back to God ; An' Tommy. our baby Tommy. we buried one star-lit night Along with his fallen comrades, just after the Wilderness fight. The lightnin' struck our family tree and stripped it of every limb. Aleavin' only this bear old trunk astandin' alone and grim. My boy. that's why your grand-ma, when you kneel to the God you love. Makes you ax Him to watch your uncles an' make 'em happy above. That's why you sometimes see her with tear drops in her eyes,
That's why you sometimes catch her atryin to hide her sighs; That's why at our great reunions she looks so solemn an. sad;
That's why her heart seems a breakin' when the boys are jolly and glad; That's why you sometimes find her in the bed-room overhead. Down on her knees apravin'. with their pictures laid out on the bed; That's why the old-time brightness will light up her face no more Till she meets her hero warriors in the camp on the other shore. An' when the great war was over, back came the veterans true, With not one star amissin' from the azure field of blue:
An' the boys who on the field o'battle had stood the fiery test. Formed Posts o' the great Grand Army in the North, South. East an' the West Fraternity, Charity. Loyalty. is the motto 'neath which they train- Their object to care for the helpless an' banish sorrow au' pain From the homes of the widows an' orphans o' the boys who have gone before To answer their names at roll call in the great Grand Army Corps. An' that's why we wear these badges. the eagle an' flag an' star, Worn only by veteran heroes who fought in that bloody war. An' that's why my old eyes glisten while talkin' about the fray. An' that's why I call men "Comrade" when I meet 'em every day; An' that's why I tell your grandma "I'm going to Post to-night." For there's where I meet the old boys who stood with me in the fight ; An' my child that's why I taught you to love and revere the men Who come here awearin' badges. to fight those battles again. They are gallant heroes who stood 'mid shot and shell. An' followed the flying colors right into the mouth o'hell They are the men whose valor saved the land from disgrace and shame. An' lifted her back in triumph to her perch on the dome o' fame. An' as long as you live my darling. till your pale lips in death are mute. When you see that badge on a bosom take off your hat and salute: An' if any old veteran should halt you an' question why you do. Just tell him you've got a right to, for your grandad's a Comrade, too.
