Publisher* HORACE WRIGHT. Editor CHAS. S. LEYDEN. Buaine** Manager CONSOLIDATED PUBLISHING CO. Proprietors What is it that I hear this day? Ihy bravest men are falling, Where art thou tribes of Israel, Is not the trumpet calling? Where are the tribes, the mighty hordes? That stopped the Sun on high ? Can you not stop the flow of blood— Will you stand by and sigh? The tribe of Reuben, where art thou ? The tribe of Simeon, are you there ? The tribes of Judah, Issachar, The tribes of Joseph, Gad, Asher ? Zebulun — where hast thou gone ? Benjamin, who fearest none— Naphtali, rub off thy slumber— And mighty Don, you will not shun ? And Levi, hast thou watched with care The charge bestowed upon thee ? The testimony—is it safe? Will you defend, or flee? O, mighty tribes, thou scattered are Like stars across the sky— t’anst thou not hear the feeble voice— Canst thou not hear the cry? I'anst thou not see the Temple wall Submerged, below a flood? I ht* last remembrance of thy past Is covered up with blood— GREETINGS TO YOU D>R YOUR NEW YEAR Of them who had the courage @ And the prophecy, fulfill. ’Tis their blood that crieth loud And boils and can’t be still.

Why look—there is no end— As far and wide as I can see They come from all the land. And now the sky is getting dark And lightning rends the air, And mighty peals of thunder Seem to come from every where. What is this, my Lord, what’s this I see; The Dead are coming up— The graves come gently open And leave them at the top. I see, and hear them rattle The bones of those who were; They seem to grow together And now a trumpet’s blare— Re-echoes thro the earth and sky, From mountain’s peaks to shore. I see no dead, but living men On thousands, more and more. With eyes bright they look away And on to Mount Sinai, From whence a voice seems to come And angels from the sky— Try I might, I cannot see— The glory blinds my eyes— I hear a voice close to me— It comes right from the skies: Shma Yisroel, I thy God! Have come to resurrect thee. The Covenant is not forgot, ’Tis I will set you free.
