men stopped to render him aid no said
Go on, God bless you, and moved hi
hand for them to leave him. IL was hi
last word. When We camo on tho fold I,
look for the dead and wounded, he was COLI
in death. There was a heavenly smile upol
his countonance, which, although it did no
suppress toOd of tears, gave great relic
to an aching heart, and brought to mind
remark which ho had mado TO mo, but tn,
