POETRY.

IN MEMORY OF A. J. R.

(WHO DIED OP CEREBRO-NENINGITIS, CAUGHT IN A SOLDIERS' RECREATION-ROOM).

Hs Laboured as the soldiers' friend, Since loftier service was denied, Strove till last night their mirth to mend, With fevered brain this morning died.

So he too lavished life to save His country, counting not the price; God the most precious guerdon gave, Praising his lowly sacrifice.

The College, Winchester. J. A. FORT.
