THE BATTALION.
'I'hree women can keep a secret better when two are dead.
Among our exchanges we mention the following: The
Lyre, the College Reflector, the Austin College Reveille, the
New Hampshire Monthly, the Baylor Literary, Carlton College
Gleaner, Lake Charles Student, Daniel Baker Collegian, Santa
Maria.
Answering to Roll Call.
This one fought with Jackson and faced the fight with Lee;
That one followed Sherman as he galloped to the sea;
But they’re marching on together just as friendly as can be,
And they’ll answer to the roll call in the mornin’!
They’ll rally to the fight,
In the stormy day and night,
In bonds that no cruel fate shall sever;
While the storm-winds waft on high
Their ringing battle cry:
“Our country—our country forever!”
The brave old flag above them is rippling down its red—
Each crimson stripe the emblem of the blood by heroes shed;
It shall wave for them victorious or droop above them—dead,
For they’ll answer to the roll call in the mornin’!
They’ll rally to the fight,
In the stormy days and night,
In bonds that no cruel fate shall sever;
While their far-famed battle cry
Shall go ringing to the sky:
“Our country—our country forever!”

that you?”
Miss : “No; I am not at home today.”
