The following poem, written In 1862, by a Connecticut lad asking his mother for permission to enlist, was today given to The News by Mr. R. H. Grins tod, and is very ap propriate at this particular time: I am writing to you, mother, know ing well what you will Bay, When you read with tearful fondness all I write to you today; Knowing well the flame of ardor on a loyal mother's iart. That will kindle with each Impulse, with each throbbing of your heart. I have heard my country calling for her sons that still are true; I have loved that couutry, mother, only next to God and you; And my soul is springing forward to resist her bitter foe; Can I go, my dearest mother? tell me, mother, can I go? From Uio battered walls of Sumter, from the wild waves of the sea. I have heard her cry for succor, uu the voice of God to me; In prosperity 1 loved her in hor days of dark d is trots. With your spirit In me, mother. could I love that country less? They have pierced her heart with treason, they have caused her sons to bleed, They have robbed her in her kind ness, they have, triumpned in her need; They have trampled on her standard, and she calls me in her woo: Can 1 go, my dearfcst mother? tell me, mother can 1 go? I ain young and slender, mother they would call me yet a boy, But I know the land I live In, and tho blessings 1 enjoy; I am old enough, my mother, to be v-'-oyal, nroud- and true To the (faithful sense of duty 1 have ever learned from you. We must conquer this rebellion: lot the doubting heart be still; We must conquer it, or perish. We must conquer, and we will! But the faithful must not falter, and shall I be wanting? No! Did me go, my dearest mother! tell me, mother, can I go? He who led His chosen people, in their effort to be free From the tyranny of Egypt, will be merciful to me; Will protect me by His power what- Boe'er I undertake; Will return me home In Bafety, dear- - est mother, for your sake. Or should this my bleeding country nced a victim such as me, I am nothing more than others who have (perished to he free, On.her bosom let me slumber, on her altar let me lie; I am not afraid, my mother, in eo good a cause to die. There will come a day of gladness, when the people of the Lord Shall look proudly on their banner, which His mercy has restored; When the stars In perfect number, on their azure field of blue. Shall be clustered In a Union, then and ever firm and true. may live to see It, mother, when tho patriot s work is done, And your heart, so full of kindness, will beat proudly for your son; Or through tears your eyes may see it with a sadly thoughtful view, And may love it still more dearly for the cost it won from you. I have written to you, mother, with a consciousness of right I am thinking of you fondly, with a loyal heart tonight; V3ien I have your noble bidding, which shall tell me to press on, t will come and see you, mother come and kiss you, and ue gone In the sacred name of Freedom, and my Country as 1icr due In the name of Law and Justice, 1 have written this to you. I am eager, anxious, longing to re sist my country b foe: Shall I go, my dearest mother? tell me mother, shall I go? ADMINISTRATOR NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT.
