The initials when we rightly thus combine,
Miss Adriance Winterton and Brooks define.
THE AMERICAN SOLDIER.
A PICTURE FROM THE LIFE.
Deep in a vail, a stranger now to arms,
Too poor to shine in courts, too proud to beg;
He, who once warr’d on Saratoga’s plains
Sits musing o’er his scars, and wooden leg.
Remembering still the toils of former days,
To other hands he sees his earnings paid;
