Ware sporting just as we did then, with spirits
just as gay;
But the " Master'' sleeps upon thai hill, which, '
co&tcd o'er with snow, |
Afforded us a sliding place, just twenty years

The old school-house is altered some; the
benches are replaced
By new ones, very like the samo our penknives 1

But tho satuc old bricks are in the wall, the |

Its music just the sumo, dear Tom, 'twas twen

1
Tho river's running just as still ; the willows '
on tho side j i
Arc larger than they were, Tom ; the stream ap- ;
pears less wide?
But tho grape vine swing is mined now, where
onco we played the beau,
And swing owe sweethearts? pretty girls"?

de^tehmoot of forty men, I lelt Murfreea-J

Federal forces remained at that place. The !
chief objectors of tho expedition were to '
intercept the uia 1, to destroy the rolling j
stock on tho road, to make prisoners, and |
to obtain information of iutcrcst to the aer- j

Our desUnrtlon was kept secret. ami the j 1

to unite at sonic distance from town, it was i
impossible that the oncinvcould bcappris- J

whose seal and loyaltv is undoubted, made t
the necessary arrangement of runner* to a
keep us perfectly -j os;ed as to any move- a
incuts that night bo made with the view a
of cutting us oil. 1
Our first march, conducted mostly at .
night, carried us ; bout two miles boyond c
