1. WAR ECHOES.

And never settled them - of course.

Vacation came, and Jack invited

Me to his Southern home; delighted

I answered 'yes;' forthwith we started

And ne'er were students lighter-hearted.

We left Tom headed for the West,

And journeyed on without a rest,

Filled with sweet dreams of expectation

Till we had reached our destination.

I'll not recount the sights and scenes,

The balls and calls, at New Orleans;

It was a spot where lingered yet

A truly hospitable set,

And he whose fortune led him there,

Then lacked nor friends nor friendly care.
