Cooks Battery took favorable position for
shelling the woods in advance Of the division,
but had hardly got to work when the Confede-
rates fred g. tremendous yolley Of musketry at
the cannonniers. This was repeated several
times in quick succession, until at length the
cannoniers abandoned their pieces, and ran TO
the rear leaving tour or five Of thelr comrades
dead upon the ground The drivers Of the
caissops also partook Of the panic, and dashed
headlong through the ranks Of Cox Division,
which was drawn up in line Of battle g. teW
wards to the rear. Two companies Of q cav
airy regiment which were supporting the bat
terry, also galloped through the line Of infantry,
thus leaving four pieces of artillery the other
two having been detached TO another part Of
the field to fall into the hands Of the Confed-
crates. The event caused temporary and only
temporary confusion among the troops. They
quickly frightened the line and prepared to
resist a demonstration observable on the. part
Of the Confederates TO seize the abandoned
pieces The Confederatss marched forward TO
secure their prize, and at the same moment the
Twenty third Ohio and ons hundredth Penn

THE sOIniER,S DREAM.

AZ Port Royal slept, like bold Highland chief,
And dreamt the Confederatss had all come TO griof
That the Star Slanged Banner fastened firm, then,
10 the nag staf Of freedom, by means Of the PEN
That Southern stray Sheep all brought toone fold
And the Pen Of the Union made Of fine gold
That peace was proclaimed-al the States reunited
Then brilliant procession my senses delighted:
Past my tent in great cohorts, marched millions Of
And each man, for bayonet, upheld GOLD PEsi
J asked an old hero why those men bold
All came from the wars with those weapons Of gold?
He replied" Fl Dorsdo-a far distant State
With mountains Of goid has been gifted by Fate:
Her aurferous fields are very extensive,
1nat those PENS made OF gold are by no means ex I
sive.
Those weapons perform tho most wonderful work
When wfeidsd by bookkeeper, author or clerk,
School boy statesmen or copyst; by day by night,
They are durable flexible, strong smooth and light
Ever ready, uniform, beautiful, cheap;
And one PkN, with care, will a century keep.'
asked the old soldier SO gallant and witty,
Can gold Pens be bought in great Nineveh cityi'
To this question the warrior quickly replied:
"No, indeed" Then he pointed with audabls pride
10 ten baggage wagons, all heavily laden
With Pens and all marked From the lane Of the Maiden
AS Pen sively pondered upon that grand sight,
"a vision stu Pen:dousl he said .Writc hght.o
Pens OF steel may suffice for thoec renegade
or the south, who, by Stealing, possess forts and guns
Which belong TO the one indvisbic nation,
And by right should descend to the next generation.
But the power OF the North, said the veteran bold,
'Is mainly de-Pen dent on Pens made of goldp
Continued the soldier: "rhe time IS at hand,
When all the brave people Of Libertys land,
And the divers inhabitants Of the whole earth
Shall admit that treasure the PENS worth
Then the demon Of war shall by all be ignored,
And the Pen will be mghtber for than the sword.'

certain that the points shall always be perfectly
parallel, and that each side shall always have exact
~ the same amount OF metal Of equal density. by
these means he has entirely overcome the tendency
OF the gold pen 10 splutter.
HOW GOLD PENS ARE MADE
The gold is melted in crucible and cast INTO IN
gots. These ingots are then passed between heavy
rollers until they are rolled out into strips about
three times the thickness OF the Gold Pen. Out OF
these strips are then punched pieces called blanks,
nearly square except little point on the middle
Of one end. One side OF this point is then cut
away so as 20 leave bed for small particle OF
This ridosmium, which s compound ofirdium and

The gold al tho point is
brought 10 o state OF fusing
when the iridosium point
sinks into il and becomes
part and parcel OF il.
The blanks are then passed
through q series Of patented
rolling mills, comprising for
each Of the twenty four
sizes and styles Of his pens
q series OF seven pairs, by
which they are stretched
out 10 about three times
their original length. These
rolling mills, which are con-
nected together and driven
by steam power, are per.
manently adjusted SO as 10
stretch out the metal in,
such q manner as 70 give
elasticity precisely where
and to the extent required,
insurirg at the same time
perfect uniformity. Mr..
Morton uses 16S pairs or
rolling mills.
Further TO improve the
elasticity Of the pen, Mr..
Morton has invented and
secured by several patents
n trip hammer, also driven
by steam, TO the action Of
which the pen is nov sub
jected. This, striking al
ways with precisely the
same force, counts its own
blows, and when il has
struck any given number
stops Of its own accord, IL
never can make o false blow

Morton's Gold Pens be sent safely TO any

been sent back to be exchanged is very small. II
