orld to that better day-spring when I shall behold Thy face in righteousness and be satisfied when I awake in Thy likeness. And all I ask is for a Redeemer's sake. Amen. Putting the precious volume into his bosom, he mounted his horse and led them into the battle which was to cost so many of them their lives. When the time, the place, and the actors in that scene are considered, no one can doubt that he was perfectly sincere in this religious act. It was a brave and manly confession of Christ before men, and one for which has not our blessed Lord promised to confess us before His Father and the holy angels? While Major Wheat was incapable of professing what he did not feel, and was very far from making a parade of religious feeling, yet, as the incident just related clearly shows, he had the moral courage to avouch his convictions even to irreligious men. From his earliest childhood he scorned, not only direct lying, but all prevarication and suppression of the truth; refusin

-light rays around her, boys, and stars upon her hair. Bury me on the field, boys, this vision bright and sweet Was surely sent to cheer me, boys, in this my own defeat; There, take my trembling hand, boys, I thank you for your care, But let each soldier's heart, boys, ascend with mine in prayer. From the battlefield of life, boys, all wretched, weary, sore, Pray that my fainting soul, boys, may reach the heavenly shore, And in that land of love, boys, the weary may find rest, And the poor, repentant soldier, boys, find shelter 'mong the blest. Bury me on the field, boys, my life is ebbing fast; One moment more of pain, boys, and then the trial's past; I cannot see you now, boys, there's a mist before my sight; But hark! I hear sweet music, boys: thank God! we've won the fight. Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori; but sweeter far, and still more becoming, my son, to die, as thou didst, in the faith of Christ, the hope of heaven, and in charity with all the world. J. T. W.

osing hours, I would, if it were in my power, contribute to the peace of his mind and the comfort of his body. This was no new-born feeling. At Fortress Monroe, when suffering the tortures of bodily pain in an unwholesome prison, and the worse tortures of a humiliating and cruel confinement, which make man blush for his kind to recall them, he yet, in the solitude of his cell, shared only by his faithful pastor, took the Holy Communion which commemorates the blood and the broken body of Jesus Christ, and, bowing to God, declared his heart at peace with Him and man. As free from envy as he was from malice, he was foremost in recognizing, applauding, and eulogizing the great character and achievements of General R. E. Lee, and with his almost dying hand he wove a chaplet of evergreen beauty to lay upon his honored brow. Rigid Adherence to principle. Sternly did he stand for principle. He was no courtier, no flatterer, no word magician, no time-server, no demagogue, unless tha

g agonies our Soldier Won the crown of martial fame. But there came a greater glory To that man supremely great (When his just sword he laid aside In peace to serve his State), For in his classic solitude He rose up and mastered Fate. He triumphed and he did not die!— No funeral bells were tolled— But on that day in Lexington Fame came herself to hold His stirrup while he mounted To ride down the streets of gold. He is not dead! There is no death! He only went before, His journey on when Christ the Lord Wide open held the door, And a calm, celestial peace is his: Thank God forevermore. V. When the effigy of Washington In its bronze was reared on high, 'Twas mine, with others, now long gone, Beneath a stormy sky, To utter to the multitude His name that cannot die. And here to-day, my Countrymen, I tell you Lee shall ride With that great ‘rebel’ down the years— Twin ‘rebels’ side by side— And confronting such a vision All our grief gives place to pride. These two shall
