GOOD EXOCGH.
Dear boys, I want to give you
A motto safe and good,
■'Th-111 make your lives successful.
If you heed lt as you should,
Obey it in the spirit,
Obey it In thelettar-
Dou't say a thing is "-rood enough"
Itß it can be no better.
And whether at your lessons.
Or at your daily work,
Don't be a halfway dabbler—
Don't slip, and slide, and shirk,
And think it doesn't matter
That such talk is "trash" and "stuff"—
For until your task Is perfect.
It is never-good enough."
If your work is iv the school room,
Make every lesson tell;
No matter what you mesii to be.
Build your foundation well.
Every knotty point and problem,
That you bravely master now
Will Increase your skill to labor
With the pen or with the plow.
If you sweep a store or stable,
Be sure you go behind
Every box aud bale and counter;
It will pay, you'll always Had,
To be cirerul, patient, thorough.
Though the work be hard and rough;
And when you've done your very belt,
1 will then be "good enough."
Bo you'd better take my motto.
If you ever mean to work
To auy station higher
Than a stable boy or clerk.
It will make you independent,
It will make you no man's debtor;
Then never say "It's good enough"
Till lt can be no better.
—[M. E. Bandford, In Golden Days.

IN DREAMS.
Dear love, if only in my dreams
I might be once again with thee,
The long, dark night would turn to day;
The day would change to night for me.
Since thou art gone away, dear love.
Both day and nlgbt are dark to me;
And when the shades of evening fall
I pray tbat I may dream of thee.
Tet, tho' twould be to my sad heart
As to the desert, cooling streams.
Thou dost not oome; and still I pray;
"Oh, love, come to me In my dreams!"
I could get thro' the weary days
If but I knew at eventide
When my sad eyes were slumber-locked
Thou wouldst be ever at my side.
OU death! this world would be so fair.
Didst thou not come on sable wing
To shadow o'er our happiness—
To cast thy blight on everything.
Dear God, irthou wouldst let him oome!
If I might cla3p him to my heart
And tell him I but wait the day
Until we meet—no more to part;
If I could lay my aching bead
Once more upon his lovlug breast.
E'en tho' 'twere only in my dream,
Methinks 'twould bring me peace and rest

LIFE'S BETTER INSXCENCKS.
Better the song and the smile, my dear.
Better the song and the smile.
Brief is tha time we may linger here,
Little avails either sigh or tear;
Better the song and the smile, my dear.
Better the song and the smile.
Better the laugh and the jestrmy dear,
Better the laugh and the Jest,
Sunshine of heart and of merry cheer.
Chasing the shadows that oft appear;
Better the laugh and thejest, my dear,
Better the laugh and thejest.
Better the word that is kind, my dear,
Better the word that is kind.
Speech that is cold and perchance severe
Well may be spa.cd as we journey here;
Belter the word that Is kind, my dear.
Better the word that is kind.
Life's but a day at the best, my dear.
Lire's but a day at tho best.
Be your endeavor to brighten each year,
Making less frequent the eig'u and the tear;
Lies but a day at the best, my dear.
Life's but a day at the best.

A STRANGE MARRIAGE.
Si Collins was out of work, In common
vith many others, for reasons not necessary
o enter upon, he had been idle for some
ime. He was almost out of mouey—fifty
tants is not much. But ho was not out of
lope. He was so determined to pui his
boulder to the wheel that he could not be
ieye that there would not soon be a wheel
:o shoulder.
Now on this Saturday afternoon, with
iverytbing at a standstill, he knew tbat
here would be no use in standing before
ilosed doors or of loitering in empty yards,
;o bo made up his mind to have a holiday,
md all that sweet, sunny afternoon to pre
end to himself that he had nothing to wor*
■y about.
Ire was music in the park; there were
;o sit upon,
lan could eat five cents worth of sods
>rs as well there as elsewhere. It
;hey made quite a neat little lunch.
Sunday he would buy a papar and ge 1
item in the columns headed 'Hel]
ed—Males' by heart, but this after
his programme was the park,
lordicgly, he went home, climbed the
tor of a "tenement house, where he had
a hall bedroom of a washer-woman,
id not need all the rooms at her end
rHt; and drasscd hiinsalf ia his Sun

i suit was not a fine one at best, and
i by no means new, but. Si was a band
man, and there is a good deal in tbat.
blacked his boots, turned bis cuffs,
ted fortune he still had a clean collar,
atoll parkward. Ha was just in time
ie music,
c sky was blue, tha grass was green,
ark was just as much his as it was
ady'a, and after tho crowd had dispers
>d tho musiciaus dsscended from their
ion, he bethought bim to walk about a
s, aud tsiok his way toward the reser*
tere was uot asot-.l there, aud he began
unter about the brink, eating his crack
when his attention was attracted to the
singular conduct of a 5 >ung girl, who was
oreeping along toward tha reservoir, looking
over her shoulder as though she expected tc
be followed.
Now and then sho V'U.) to her eyes t
handkerchief that Be held crush*;.! np ii
one hand, aud it was evident that she wat
orying.
'What oau she be doing?' Si asked him
self. In a minute mora itfietshed upon hin
that sho Intended to drown batself.
He was about to spring forward to seiz*
her, when he reflected that until he wai
sura that she was actually a wou!d-ba sui
! cido it wotllf? hardly i'o to 'ay hands npoi
her, and si, concealing himsalf as best hi
could, he watted.
And uo.v he observed the girl more close
ly. Sue Wis young, sbe was small, and be
features were pretty. She had that poculia
attenuated look that comes to moat womai
with worry and poverty, hut ber clothei
were not lagged, atid she had a very re
spectablc air Shs wore one kid glove, hi
noticed. A' first she stood behind a stom
paraph, frit guards tba edge of the reser
voir, crying arid lc-nking over.
Tbt'tt she folded her h-sr.da and put he
face "[Hi-.< tbem, and Si fancied tbat sh
I rayod. After thta, by dint of scrambling
she pi-iobed upon tho stones and sat there
Si drew nearer.
At ii*.. aba arose to her feet, aod Si wa
there below her, though she did not drear
of it.
•Good by, you dear, pretty world,' b
heard her sjiy. 'I -nondar where lam gc
ing to,' and she made preparations to jnm
into the water.

'Oh, wby couldn't you let me?' she said,
'And now you'll put me ia prison, I sup
pose, for being too unhappy to livo.'
'I'm uot a policeman,' said Si
'Ob, thank goodness!' said tho girl,
.you'll let me go, then?'
'Not yet, said Si. 'You see, although
I'm not a policeman, I'm a man. and that
makes it my duty to take care of the wo
men folk wben they need it/ You seem
to.'
'You mean to be very kind,' said tbe girl;
but you are not. I suppose you have no
idea what it is to be all alone in a big city
without money and without work.'
'Ob,' said Si, 'but I haveu'thad any work
for three weeks, and this is my cash io
hand.
And be exhibited his half dollar.
'Ob,' she said, with an air of greater con
fidence. 'Well, yee, you do know some
thing about it, only you are not a woman.'
'No,' said Si. 'Of coursa that makes it
worse for you. But tell me, what drove you
to that cowardly act?'
'It is a very brave act,' said the girl.
'Not a bit of it,' said Si. 'It's brava to
to live aud fight as long as you can—that's
my idea.'
'I can't; I've nothing to fight with,' said
the girl. 'Oh, if you knew'
'Tell me,' said Si.
'My father died,' said the girl. "My step
mother bated me. Sbe married again, and
her second husband turned me out of the
house. Pa had left her all his money, I had
nothing. I came to New York and got
sewing to do. One day tbe woman that
employed me asked me if I'd make her a
wall pocket for her papers. The kind I
mean is made out of old steels from exten
ders. You knit worsted over them, you
know.'
Si did not know, but he looked as wise as
posaiblo.
'I was to make it as a favor, not for pay,'
the girl went on, 'and at home, evenings.
I liked doing it; but the steels were too
long. I had to break most of them, and it
gave me a felon on my thumb. I can't use
it yet to sew with, and I can't do anything
but sew. Tbat woman knew how I got it,
but Bhe never offered to help me at ali. She
dismissed me and took another girl in my
place. Then I couldn't pay my board and
they turned mo out. 1 went to a hospital.
The doctor said my Soger wasn't bad enough
to allow them to admit me; be said it would
be all right in a month. Well, I have not
even anywhere to blo:p to night. I shall
have to starve or beg—l will not beg. Now
you see tbat you had better go away and
let mo finish what 1 began.'
'That can't be done,' said Si.
Every one who know Si called him queer.
If acting differently from other people un
der given circumstances is being queer, he
certainly was.
Aa he looked down upon this pale, pret
ty and assuredly innocent girl, aud knew
that if he went away aod left her she would
surely jump into tbe water, bis heart soft
ened toward her as women's do to crying
babies. Wbat a doar little thing she was!
be thought. What a shame that fate should
have ussd her so! It saeme:! his duty to
take care of her.
'Ob, hang it! I'll get a job on Monday,'
he said; 'and everybody tells me that it is
as easy for two to live as one. I'll do it.' '
Theu he turned to the girl and said:
Circumstances alter cases. It's a queer
kind of courtship,but I like you. I guessyon
conld like me if you tried. Will you mar
ry me? I'll getwork on Monday, I'm sure.
I've got half a dollar. Gome to the minis
ter with me, and be married and I'll take
care of you after this.'
What tbe girl said was:
'Oh, my! Why, I never heard of such a
thing. Whatrwould people say?'
'People will not know—it's our own busi
ness. I think you'll make a good wife,' re
turned Si. 'If ou need taking care of the
worst way. Think about it."
He left ber alone and walked up and
down. Sbe looked at him—aud Si was
handsome. He lookod at her and thought
again that she was the sweetest little thing
he had ever seen. He smiled and really,
she smiled too. He went back and sat down
beside her,
'Guess we'll go to tbe minister,' he said.
'Well, you don't know the least thing
about mo,' she said, aud I oan't sco how
you can like me enough.'
'I can't see either,' be admitted, 'but I do
liko you better than I ever liked any other
girl.'
'I feel that way to you.' sho said.
And tben they walked to the house of the
minister, who wan willing to take his fee in
thank« and give them his blessing into tbe
bargain.
And Si and AnDio were husband and wife.
Ou Monday Si Collins went forth to
search for work, rather more anxiously
than before, and I am sorry to say he found
none.
He remained away ail day and returned
homo in very lew spirits.
Annie had prepared supper. She had
cooked two red herriegs at Mrs. Romey's
fire, and set the candle stand with a cloth,
on which he had placed two wooden pie
plates and two tin cups. The bread was
sliced nicely and a 'drawing of In, had
been made io a pitcher.'
The room was tidy, the window shone,
and Annie looked happy.
Si began to be cheerful again.
'To ba sure I have not had luok to-day
but it will come to-morrow,' he said, as he
sat down to supper.
Annie looked very pretty on the other
side of tho tiny table.
'If only a man oould be sure of a good
living,' Bi thought, 'ha would bo much hap
pier married than single.
A-fter tea Annie cleared away the things,
and bi went out on the stair-case with his
pipe while sbe did so. Ho believed tbat
women disliked smoke, but knew that An
nie would never admit the fact.
As ho sat there, wondering where he
should go to look for work the nest day, a
gentleman cams stumbling up the dark
stairs.
'I am looking for a Mr. Si Collins,' he
said.
'That's my name,' said Bi.
'You are a married mau, EirV" asked the
gentleman.
'Te3, sir,' said Si. 'I've been married
about two diys, if that will do.'
'Ah- you are the right mm, and its your
wifa I want, said the gentlaroan.
Si's heart sank.
'What do you want her foi?' ha asked,
thinking only of misfortune.
'To ask a few questions,' said the gentle
man.
•We have vory small quartsrs,' said Si;
'but come in.'
He pushed open thn door of the tiny
room, bat before h*i could speak Atinio ran
forward wltb ou'stretohed bands.
'Mr. Cummings!'' she cried.
'Yes, Mr. Cummiogs, Annie,' said the
gentleman. 'I've beeu looking for yeu for
six moalhs. I really began to believe you
dead, wheu I met an old friend of mine, a
elergjman, and happening to speak ot my
fruitless mission, he told mc that he bad

though Annie is, and as tbe Rev. Mr. Dar*

Rest And Unrest.
There are few phases of civilized life
more eccentric than the untiring and cease
less bum of bustle which is the outward
and audible expression of the industry
whioh we are taught to reverence. From
the very beginning the turmoil of life, as
we have made it, strikes upon our ears. As
it is in tho beginning, so is it later on, and
as it continues to be until it is time for ,
these same sounds of the age lo pipe us out \
of the world with a requiem that differs
not a jot from the cheerful orchestra which
welcomed us into it. ,
A certain measure of activity is wholly
natural. The savage had to bunt for his
supper; kill other savsges to save himself
from being killed; and fight his brethren in
order to secure for himself the wife whom (
they also were eager to place upon their ,
respective hearths bb the jewel of their
cava establishments. Bat tbem is a pro
found difference between this occasional .
aotivity of the savage and tho methodical,
unresting activity of the average man of J
our day. Hia was brisk movement toward .
it goal, lor tbe attainment of which be had '
to exercise his bodily faculties in a way
that educated them with amaziDsi celerity.
With us it is muoh otherwise. Mticaiaery
has no little to answer for, as a cloy of ar- j
rest of the development, of some of the best
of our faculties. A century ago the aver- j
age citizen was surely a man of more stal
wart mind than his descendant of to day.-— ,
That this falling off in one direction com- j
mensnratea with progress in another di- .
reotion, is inevitable. Tbe weslth of tbe ,
nation is greater; the individual's sense of
individuality and personal strength in strife ;
with the world is less.
It is with no intention of profering an j
indictment of a capital kind ngait st tho in- ,
ventors of modern machinery that we make f
this statement. He who runs may read
tho merits as well as the demerit of such
inventions. But it is too much the fashion
with those good, easy, conventional moral
ists, who have the ear of the public, to in
sist upon the merits and to distegard the
defects. It were honester to consider the
other side of the question; and it were also
better for those of us wbo are interested in
this rivalry of animated iron aud stee', and
who are unconscious of the mental deca
dence with which we are in consequence
threatened. There are school boards, it
may be protested, to check this menace of
degradation. But such education ia really
cf an erratic kind, and does not make
atonement in the light direction.
Which is the nobler kiad of man : be
who, for eight or nine hours a day, feeds
the maw of a machine, that it may do the
work which formerly came from human
hands and the human intelligence; or he,
who, far from the whirr of wheels and the
screech of steam whistles, tenda his own
small flock, shears his sheep, milks his
kine, makes his own bread and butter, and
vestments, and cultivates his small, but
adequate patch of grain-land, ojjoa a boat
and wrestles with the sea for its own
treasures; who builds his own house, keeps
it iv repair, and rears within its homely
walls four or live offsprings as Bturdy and
independent as himself? Can there be
any doubt aB to the verdict?
The one man is an automiton. His
wife, if he have a wife, is in several es
sential particulars a better roan than he.—
Her work, unlike his, is of a kind that
tests the abilities, acd through tbo teat en
larges them. He is but the subordinate of
a machine. She is a responsible entity,
who is taught by experience thr.t ber ac
tions are of more momeut than his. His
work wearies, but does not teaoh him. She
grows wicer aud mere capable every day.
Tbe slave cf the machine, whin he rests,
does but take Lr=ath that he may subse
quently the bettor perform the behests of
bis tyrannical master. But tho country
man is never thus idle. He goes from his
kine to his flocks, from his boat to his
barns; and his every diverse employment
is, at the same time, a repose and a de
velopment.
As we grow wiser and richer—it is to ba
hoped our progress In wealth and wisdom
will be a parallel progrees—it is probable
i that we shall come to view tbis need of
perfect rest seriously. Among the myriad
other institutions whioh our benevolence
i and the complexity of our civilizition will
are long have raised in our midst, we shall
I then, it m;>v be, incloda "Honfes of Rest
for Faded Minds." Why Bhould it not be

A Slost Wonderful Collection of Prehistoric
Animals
SECURED BY THE GOVERNMENT.
Minks of Huoe Fossils Found in thi
■t. Why the Government Has
Dug Them Out—To Go to
Washington,
hngton, July 9.—Three week
from vow will be started for Washingtot
tho most extraordinary procession of an
imals ever seen npon the face of the earth
upon which tbe ghosts of Barnum anc
Forepaugh might gaze with as wide-eyec
astonishment as ever the spectacle of theii
united shows excited in the innocent mtndi
of rural f.dolesconce. Iv this wonderfu
procession will be gigantic roptiles as bic
jas gooi3izs>d houses, some of them 100 feel
iv length, flying dragons with a 25-foot
spread of wings, huge birds with teeth,
mammals two or three times as great in
size as elephants, sharks as large as tbe
hugest whales, other fishes clad in mighty
plates of armor and countless specimens
more of equal strangeness and enormous
dimensions, such as actually inhabited the
world before man arrived in it. For nine
years past the government has been dig
ging up and putting together the skeletons
of these strange creatures, and now the
vast collection at present stored in New
Haven, Conn., is being got ready for ship
ment by rail to the national museum. The
whole of it would occupy fully one-half of
that institution's building here, so only a
portion is to be immediately forwarded, the
The business of digging for these tre
mendous fossils is carried on pretty much
liko any other mining. In various parts of
the west there are great deposits of tbem,
into which the scientific enthusiasts eager
ly delve for relics of an epoch thousands of
centuries old. One of their chosen hunting
grounds is the region between the Rockies
and the Wasatch mountains. Ages ago
the upheaval of these hills by geologic
action cut off the portion of what had been
sea between these ranges from the ocean,
and the water thus shut away formed
many big lakes. A iypical one of this sort
existed in Wyoming, and around it the
mighty antediluvian mammals gathered in
herds to orop tbe succulent and luxuriant
vegetation of what was then a tropical cli
mate in that region. They died natural
deaths, or became mired in the mud when
they went to drink, and the sediment slow
ly deposited in the water covered up their
boaea aud preserved iheni from decay.
This sediment reached a mile in thiokness,
holding between its layers these ancient
skeletons, distributed like currants through
a cake. At length the water, draining off,
left the land dry, and, in the case of the
Wyomiug lake referred to subsequent
floods washed away mnch of the sediment
pieviously deposited, leaving what are now
called' -Bad Lands,'' picturesque with cliff*?,
peaks and columns carved out in fantastic
shapes acd of variegated coloring.
Through such a region the scientific ex
plorer has gone with his oyea as wide open
for fossils as the gold hunter keeps his for
tbe shining metal. If from the face of
some rocky cliff ho chances to see a bone
project, exposed by the action of water
that h«s cut 3way the hillside, be sets a
party of men to quarrying with drill, blast
and pickaxe until whatever ia there in the
way of remains has been taken out. Pos
sibly some great deposit of prehistoric
monsters may bo struck in this way, in
which case tho find is kopt as secret as pos
sible, beiug regarded by the discoverer as
his private mine. If he give it away ri7al
paleontologists would rush to '.he spot and
dig ont all the animals for their own study
and glory. Professor O. C. Maish, who
directed the gathering of tho government
collection referred to has such mines of his
own all over the weal, from which he can
draw to order the mo3t astonishing variety
of gigantic creaturts. He made the re
mark the other day that there was one
small valley he knew of where relics of the
ancient mosasaurus were so plentiful that,
passing through it recently, he noticed the
skeletons of six of those mighty swim
ming lizards, each 80 feet in length, in
sight at one time.
For years tha government has been en
gaged in excavating these bones, whioh are
now to make part of what is destined to be
the greatest zoological show on earth.
DELAYS AXE DASGEROUS.
There are thoso who are morbidly anx»
ions about their health, watching every j
symptom and dosing themselves on tbe
slightest piovooation. There are others
who never give the matter a thought, bat j
permit real symptoms to lapßa into the cer
tainties of disease. Between these two ex
tremes the wife man steers—never unduly J
anxious, acd yet not permitting genuine
symptoms to develop. He knows that de- J
lays are dangerous, and be knows, more* j
over, that tbo medicine most likely to be -
effective is that which goes straight to the '
scats of disease, and tones up the digestive
organs, strengthens the system aud purifies ]

You count the actions you have done
let eaoh day show the record of some little
service rendered to others—some little deed
of kindness that like a sunbeam has strayed
into another's life and brightened another's
heart in His name.
You have the right to devote as m uch
time to reading and study as can be spared
from household occupations and the legit:—
«! claims of society, and you will fiud
a cose intimacy with the right sort of
s will open an exbaustless fountain of
enjoyment for you and widen your field of
knowledge in a measure of wbich you little
dream. Books furnish a source of pleasure
often when other sources are not available,
therefore by all means cultivate a fondness
for such books as bring you in contact
with tbe greatest and best minds. The
hours that girls waste now-a-days on the
flippant, misguiding and often positively
hurtful novels of the day is simply deplor
able. It is like a child devouring sweets
until all taste for wholesome food become*.
vitiated. The'miud, like the body, grows
upon what it absorbs. Give it healthy food
and it will grow and expand healthfully;
give it low diet and it will become depraved
and dwarfed accordingly. You bave the
right to consult your father and mother
about every thing that concerns you. Few
girls are Solomons in wisdom, and wbat a
blessing to have those near you to whom
your happiness is dear, and to whom you
may go with all your little perplexities,
confident of being guided iv the right and

not value the privilege too highly, and that

The Old Stonewall Brigade. b
[Tbe following appeared in tho JUustrat- tl
e.i News, published in Richmond in Confed- r<
crate times, and was written before the
opening of the campaign in the spring of
1963, and after the Stonewall Brigade had tl
seen service in two campaigns.]
"The Old Stonewall Brigade! What a s<
host of thoughts, memories and emotions tl
do these words excite! How like a call to bi
the charge sounds the simple mention of n
the famous band! These veterans have
fought and bled aud conquered on bo many T
battle fields, that memory grows woary al- c;
most of recalling their glories. Gathering
arounu Jackson ia the old days of Patter-
Bon in the Valley, when Stuart had but a b
handful of cavalry to watch the whole bor
der, acd Ashby, our dead hero, was a sim- tl
pie captain,—tbey held in check an enemy
twenty times their number, and were s:
moulded by the hand of their great leader a
into that stern phalanx which no bayonet
cuuld break, and r.o odds intimidate. They ci
we.c boys aud old MB, tha humblo3t of ti
tbe sons of toil, aad the flower of the land si
—but united, trained, and looking with ci
supreme confidence to their Commander.
"And then commenced their long career
of glory—their wonderful marches over ci
thousands of miles—their Incessant combats n
against odds that seemed overpowering —
their contempt of snow and rain, and cold
and hunger, and want of rest. The sou! of
tbeir leader ssemed to ha.c entered into n
every breast—and "Stonewalls Band" be °
came the terror of tha enemy, lo meet J
tbat enemy, was to conquer him, it might ,!
almost be said.so obstinately did the eagles *
of victory continue to perc'a upon the old D
battle-flag. The laws of the human body "
seemed to havo been reversed for these •■•
men. They marohed, and fought, and 8
triumphed like war machines, which felt n
no n9ed of rest, or food, or sleep.
"In one day thoy marched from Harper's c
Ferry io Stiasburg, nearly fifty miles. On n
tho advance to Romuey they walked—aiany t
without shoes—over roads so slippery with •*■
ice that men were falling aud their guns '
going oft' all along the columu—and at I
eight lay down, without blankata, on the J
snow, with no camp-fires and no food.
"At the first great battle of Manassas c
they were nearly starved, but fought with I
dosporation. At the lr.st battla there I ■
saw them by the road side, where tUey had J
halted, and one of my friends, a brave '
young officer of the command, thanked me I
for a biscuit.
■'Toe very rapidity of their marches sep
arates them from all soldier comforts—of
ten from their very blankata, however cold
t;-e weather; and auy other troops but those
and their Southern comrades would long
aiuca have mutinied aad demanded bread
aud rest. But tbe shadow of disaffection
never flitted over forehead in that com
man:!. Whatever discontent may be felt
at times at tbe want of attention on the
part of subordinate officers to their necessi
ties, the 'long roll' has only to be beaten—
they bave only to soo the man iv the old
faded uniform appear, and hunger, cold,
fatiguo aro forgotten. The Oid Brigade is
ready—'Here!' is tha answer to the roll
cal';, all along tha line—and though the oyo
is dull Iroaa want ol food and rest, the arm
is strong, aud tha bayonet is sharp and
bright. Baforo those bayonets no foa shall
stand—to pass them, is to advance over the
bodies of dead heroes, grasping the trusty
muskot, even iv death.
Tho campaigns of the Valley; the grea f .
flauk moeetneGt of the Chickahominy; tha
masterly advance upon Manassas in the
rear of Pope—thoso are the fadeless glories
of the Old Brigade. Their path bas been
strewed all over with battles. Incredible
have been their marohes; countless their
combate—almost always against overpow
ering numbers. Tho scythe of death has
mown down whole ranks ot them; but the
Old Brigade still marches on,and fights and
conquer-i Tea war-wor-i veterans still
confront the foo, though the thinned ranks
toll the taio of their glories and their losses.
Many brave souls havo poured out their
blood aud fallen; but they aro oauqaerors,
and more than conquerors, la the world's
great eye. Tbo oomradea of these heroes
hold heir memories Bacred, and have offer
ed bloody aaorifiaes to their manes.—
'Steady! Closa upl' wore the last words
echoed in the dyiug ears—aad the aim of
thesa survivors was cniy more steady, the
charge with the bayouot more deadly.
"Those survivors may be pardoned if,
they tall tbeir children, when the war l-ij]
ended, tbat they fought under Jackson, ia*
tbe "-Old Stonewall Brigade.' Thny may
ba pardoned even if they boiat of tbsir ex
plolt*- -their wonderful m. robes —their c*"m
etant aud desperate combats—the skill and
nerve which snatched viotory from the j.iws
of defeat, and, even when they were retir
ing beiota overwhelming numbers, made it
truly better that tho foe had 'ne'er been
born,' than maet their bayonet charge.
"In speaking of this veteran iegion,
'praise is virtue.' Their history is blaz in
ed all over with glory. They are 'happy
names, beloved ohildren'—the favorites of
fame, if uot of fortune. In their dingy uni
forms, lying stretched beneath the pines, or
by the roadside, they are the mark of many
eyes wnich wa thnru Mt—the ahsorbing
though? in tha breast of beauty, and the
idols cf the popular heart. In lino before
the euamy, with their bristling bayonets,
they aro the terror ofthe foe, and the life
, guard of their doar old mother, Yirginip.
"Tho heart that does not thrill at sight
of the worn veterans, ia oold indued. To
him who write*, they present a spectacle
coble and heroic; and their old tattered,
I ball-pieroed flag is tbe sacred ensign of lib

into action—after fighting lour battlea in
five days—with the regularity and well
i dressed front of holiday soldiers on parade.
There was no straggling, no lagging—every
man stood at his work, and advanced with
the steady tramp of tbe true soldier. The
ranks were Uud, and the laces travel-worn,
but the old flag floated in the winds of the
Potomac as defiantly as on the binks ot
the Shenandoah. The biillf-t-tirn ensign
might have been writ'en all over, ou both
• sides, with the names of battles—and the
list have then been imcomplete. MaDassas,
Winchester, Kernstown, Front Royal, Port
Republic, Cold Harbour. Malvern Hill,
Slaughter Mountain, Bristow StatioD,
Groveton—Ox Hill, Sharpsburg, Freder
icksburg, were to follow. And theso were
but the larger names upon tbo roll of toeir
glory. Tbe numb-rlesi encatjements of
minor character are omitted—but in these
I have mentione i they appear to the world,
and sufficiently vindicate their claim to the
title of hhr.ies.
"I seemed to see these great names as
the O.d Brigade advanced that day; and
my whole heart went to greet them. Every
heart tbat is true to our great cause, and
loves its defenders, will do as mucb.
- "For these men of tbe Old Stonewall
Brigade have been brave among the brav
est—with their noble comrades of Gen.
Jackson's corps, tbey have turned the tide
of battle upon many hard fought fields.
"They have 'done well for the Republic'
—and let their names be honored. Let the
public salutation greet them—aalutatioD by
the lip and pen, no less than by tbe heart
—meet them and greet them,and call them
glorious—children of glory marching on to
the Pantheon of Fame, in a great and peace
ful land!

a little. Suppose the government should •

would you or I get any of it? The govern- /
