AFTER THE BATTLE.
Hard ye may be in tho tumult, Red to your battle hilts; Blow jgivo blow in th© forayi Cunningly ride in the tilts. But tenderly, unbeguiled— Turn to a woman a woman, s Heart and 'a child's to a child.
Tost of the man if his worth bo In accord with the ultimate plan That ho bo not, to his marring, Always and utterly man. That ho may bring out of tho tumult Fitter and undefiled, . To woman tho heart of a woman—■ To children tho heart of a ohild.
Good when tho bugles are ranting It is to bo iron and fire. Good to be oak in tho foray— Ico at a guilty desire. But, when tho battle is over , (Marvel and wonder the while), Give to a woman a woman s _ Heart and a child's to a child. , —U. Henry,
