Tn the terrible battle of Molino del
Rey, which Immediately preceded the
fall of Mexico, Clonel Graham was order
ed up from the reserve to carry battery
from which column of American troops
had already been repulsed. The gal
lant eleventh, at their leaders cry of
"forward," raised a hurrah, it is said,
and dashed ahead. AS they dashed
along over the bodies of their fallen COM
rades, the batteries opened, tearing their
ranks frightfully and obscuring the pros
pect with smoke. Forward" cried
Colonel Graham. Again the grape and
canister came crashing from the Mexi-
can parapets. Six bullets struck the
Colonel--Yet still he shouted " forward" >"
AT last a seventh shot proved fatal. But
as he reeled before he fell, he waved his
sword, and cried again, forward, for
ward, my word is always forward. =
His men swept on like torrent, the
story goes, carried the enemy's guns,
and planted the stars and stripes on the
disputed walls. 1t is possible that those
gallant words, " forward, forward, always
forward" alone saved the day.
No man knows what danger he can
safely pass, what difficulties he can over
come, what apparent impossibiities he
can achieve, until he has thrown himself,
heart and SOUL into his task, determined
to succeed. Would Washington have
conquered at Trenton if he had shrunk
back at the wildly running ice that
threatened to impede his passage of the
Delaware Would Napoleon have been
victorious at Arcola if he had stopped,
despairing, on the hither side of that aw-
full bridge? Would Wellington have
won at Waterloo if he had not said,

around him like whirlwind, so that he

Often in life there occur crises when

The nervous system itself becomes worn

THE BATTLE.


TRANSLATED FROM SCHILLER, BY SIR E. BULwKR
LYTToN.
Heavy and solemn,
A cloudy column,
Through the green plain they marching camel
Measureless spread, like table dread
For the wild grim dice of the iron game
Looks are bent on the shaking ground,
Hearts beat loud, with IA, knelling sound
Gallops the major along the front;-
And fettered they stand at the stark command,
And the warriors, silent, halt.
Proud in the blush of morning glowing,
What on the hilltop shines in flowing?
''See you the foemans banners wayinge"
ssWe see the foeman's banners wayingn'
"God be with We, children ard wiie,9
Hark TO the music-the trump and the fife
How they ring through the ranks, which they rouse
to the strife
Thrilling they sound. with their glorious tone
Thrilling they go, through the marrow and bone,
Brothers, God grant, tchea this life IS DER.
In the hfe 20 that meet more,
See the smoke how the lightning is cleaving asun-
der,
Hark! the guns, peal on peal, how they boom in
their thunder!
From host to host, with kindling sound,
The shouting signal circles round
Ay, shout it forth to life or death, =
Freer already breathes the breath!
The war is wagng, slaughter raging,
And heavy through the reeking pail
The iron death-dice fall
Nearer they close,-foes upon foes.
"Ready .h-from square to square it goes.
They kneel as one man, from flank to flank,
And the fire comes sharp from the foremost rank.
Many soldier to earth is sent,
Many gap by the ball is rent
Der the course before springs the hinder man,
That the line may not fail to the fearless van
To the right, to the left. and around and around,
Death whrls in its dance on the bloody ground.
Gods sunlight is quenched in the fiery fight,
Over the host falls a brooding night,
Brothers, God grant fuhen this life Is Ger,
In the tiJe to come, that 7ce meet once more
The dead men lie bathed in the weltering blood,
And the living are blent in the slippery flood,
Stumble still on the corses that sleep below.
"Whati Francis-"Give Charlotte my last fare
WE'LL,
AS the dying man murmurs the thunders swell.
I'm gye-O God! are their guns near2
Hoi comrades!-you volleyi-look sharp to the

Ill give to thy Charlotte thy last farewell
Sleep soft where death thickest descendeth in RAIN
The friend thou forsaketh thy side may regaini"
Hitherward. thherward reels the fight;
Darkly and more darkly day glooms into night;
Brothers, God grant, sclen hiS ife is Ger,
In the life to come that tce meet once more!

The horsemen press hard on the painting foe,
Their thunder booms, in dying
Terror has seized on the dastards all,
And their colors fall!
