The avenging sword unsheathe."

A CAVALRY CHARGE
"My darling! ah, the glass is out!
The bullets ring, the riders shout--
No time for wine or sighing!
There! bring my love the shattered glass--
Charge! On the foe! No joys surpass
Such dying!"

_From photogravure by Goupil, after a painting
by Édouard Détaille_.

NATHAN HALE
"'Neath the blue morn, the sunny morn,
He dies upon the tree,
And he mourns that he can lose
But one life for liberty."
