JUDGE BRIDAL AND BURIAL. T WAS a soldier's bridal day ; Under the pillow where his head Was lying the dear bride-wife spread Her wedding-gown of gray. ‘They found her picture on his breast, And left it undisturbed to rest Till God's memorial day. His darling stood in robes of gray To give to him her heart. The bridegroom wore the army blue, ‘And vowed his vows of honor true Till “death their lives should part.”” Above them hung our banner bright ; Each heart was sad and yet alight With hope he might not fall, ‘And that some happy, gala day He would return, with her to stay, When bugles did not call. Jaste to my rescue !” Freedom cried. The soldier marched away—he died. As white as winter snow He came again, alas! alas! They hid his face beneath the grass Full thirty years ago. Her brow wears signet of the years; Her eyes have not forgot the tears ‘They shed that vanished day ; Ter locks have lost youth's loveliness ; Their hue is like her bridal-dress, Of unobtrusive gray. Time is grief's healer ; but she waits Alone for him who by the gates Of heaven records the hours Till she shall come with love as true As when he wore the army blue, COOKERY" IN NORTH CAROLINA.
