It is pleasing to seethe pictures of the heroes of the battles; and our hearts go out in chivalric com pliment of their valorous deeds. But there is a sad side to this war fare, There is a place for cypress for every position of the rose and lily. A pang of sorrw, a sigh of mourning for every thrill of tri umph; for every shout of victory. This is when a picture is pre sented in the newspapers, beneath which is printed, '"Killed In 'Such' a Ba ttle." "It is the fortune of war." Yes, that is true; but that does not in the least mitigate the sorrow, the affliction of those whose sacrifice, the "killed" was. War may be a great necessty sometimes. In our most solemn and sacred meditations, we cannot decide. But how many immor tal souls are thus ushered before the Great Tribunal of Him Who shall "judge the quick and dead," unprepared? This is a most stupendous thought; and helps to deepen the shadow around the sad side of the picture. 4IMPORTANT GATEWAYS4 t V i 2-Fast Trains-2 DALLY Di For St. Louls, Ghicago and the EAST.
