wing month. They have snatched a brief moment together now, and are hopefully pledging each other long lives. Neither the Union nor the Confederacy realized that the war was to stretch out over four terrible years. which enabled them to contest so fiercely the subsequent battlefields of June, July, and October. Passing by without comment the splendid stand of Buford's dismounted troops covering the approaches to the town of Gettysburg, in which less than three thousand cavalrymen and Calef's battery made possible the occupation by the delayed Union army of the dominating position along Cemetery Ridge and the Round Tops, the desperate battles of the cavalry on the right and left flanks at Gettysburg, are history. On the Union left flank, Pleasonton had ordered Kilpatrick to move from Emmittsburg with his entire force to prevent a Confederate turning movement on the Round Tops, and, if practicable, to attack the Confederate flank and rear. Late on July 3, 1863, the reserve c

d, and several persons, of still superior rank, were hinted at by the pretended bewitched, or by the confessing witches. Some had been publicly named. Dudley Bradstreet, a justice of the peace, who had been appointed one of President Dudley's Council, and who was son to the worthy old governor, then living, found it necessary to abscond. Having been remiss in prosecuting, he had been charged by some of the afflicted as a confederate. His brother, John Bradstreet, was forced to fly also. Calef says it was intimated that Sir William Phips's lady was among the accused. It is certain that one who pretended to be bewitched at Boston, where the infection was beginning to spread, charged the Secretary of the colony of Connecticut. Mrs. Hale, wife to the minister of Beverly, was accused also; which caused her husband to alter his judgment, and to be less active in prosecutions than he had been. Hist. Mass., II. 60.

Whom even its worshippers despise, Unhonored, unrevered! Yet, Scandal of the World! from thee One needful truth mankind shall learn: That kings and priests to Liberty And God are false in turn. Earth wearies of them; and the long Meek sufferance of the Heavens doth fail; Woe for weak tyrants, when the strong Wake, struggle, and prevail! Not vainly Roman hearts have bled To feed the Crosier and the Crown, If, roused thereby, the world shall tread The twin-born vampires down! 1849. Calef in Boston. 1692. in the solemn days of old, Two men met in Boston town, One a tradesman frank and bold, One a preacher of renown. Cried the last, in bitter tone: “Poisoner of the wells of truth! Satan's hireling, thou hast sown With his tares the heart of youth!” Spake the simple tradesman then, “God be judge 'twixt thee and me; All thou knowest of truth hath been Once a lie to men like thee. Falsehoods which we spurn to-day Were the truths of long ago; Let the dead boughs fall away,<

ed and quaking families; to a whole community, priest-ridden and spectresmitten, gasping in the sick dream of a spiritual nightmare and given over to believe a lie. We may laugh, for the grotesque is blended with the horrible; but we must also pity and shudder. The clear-sighted men who confronted that delusion in its own age, disenchanting, with strong good sense and sharp ridicule, their spell-bound generation,— the German Wierus, the Italian D'Apone, the English Scot, and the New England Calef,—deserve high honors as the benefactors of their race. It is true they were branded through life as infidels and damnable Sadducees; but the truth which they uttered lived after them, and wrought out its appointed work, for it had a Divine commission and Godspeed. The oracles are dumb; No voice nor hideous hum Runs through the arched roof in words deceiving; Apollo from his shrine Can now no more divine, With hollow shriek the steep of Delphos leaving.

ossed the stream with his brigade, the larger portion of which rushes into the wood in order to reach under its cover the summit of the slope it has to carry. Cutler's brigade is at the head of the Federal column. Reynolds leads it in person on the Cashtown road, which must be absolutely barred against the enemy, advising Doubleday to place Meredith's brigade, which is following the first, on the left, and to extend his line as far as the Hagerstown road. The division artillery, relieving Calef's mounted battery, takes a position along the Cashtown road, which it enfilades, while Cutler deploys his brigade to the right under the very fire of the enemy. General Cutler, writing November 5, 1863, to the governor of Pennsylvania, accords the honor of the opening infantry-fire to the Fifty-sixth Pennsylvania, Colonel J. Wm. Hofmann commanding, and requests that the fact be recorded in the archives of the State.—Ed. The infantry finds itself engaged along the whole line even before it
