United States Christian Commission
Timely Relief for the Wounded.

A messenger directly from the front
brings most gratifying intelligence of
the admirable working of the plan
adopted by the United States Chris
tian Commission to relieve and save
our brave men fighting and falling for
US in the great battles.
The Government made large provi-
sions, but the protracted struggle and
change of the line of supplies at last
exhausted the stores for the wounded.
The Christian Commission had a
large wagon with each corps, and ex-
ira one as reserve. When the Govern
ment supplies began to fail, then the
stores of the Commission came into
requisition In the Wilderness all the
tents and flies of the Commission were
brought into use to shelter the wound
ed. The same at Charlottesville,
when they were removed there, and
all day Sunday while on the way to
Fredericksburg, the delegates of the
Commission were chief teedcrs of the
wounded heroes The food, stimulants.
refreshing drinks and care thus given
saved many lives during their removal.
At Fredericksburg also most timely
aid was given to the surgeons. All
the remaining supplies left from the
field were apportioned among the
thousands OF wounded in Fredericks-
burg to keep them alive until Govern
ment supplies should come.
The teams came on to Belle Plain to
renew stock and return immediately.
Three of them are to be with the front,
and two at Fredericksburg, to keep up
supplies. The only regret is that the
force OF teams, stores and men could
not have been doubled or quadrupIed
for so great IN emergency. The GEN
eral Field Agent, John A. Cole, ESQ,
calls for men, stores and teams. Tie
Commission viii respond. Let the
people keep up The treasury by send

urer, at the Western Banks. School

The crimson tide was ebbing, and the pulse grew
But the lips of that brave soldier scorned cen now to
make complaints
"Fsll in rank" a voice called to hn-calrn and low
was his reply:
"Yes, if I'll do til will do it though die
And ne murmured when the life-light had died out
alt is growing very dark mother-growing very dark -
There were tears in manly eyes, then and manly
heads were bowed,
Though the balls few thick around them, and the
cannOns thundered loud;

To catch the broken accents he was strugoling bap
And change DER the features where death had
set his mark
"It is growing very dark, mother-very dark"
Far away his mind had wandered to Oho's hills and
Wales
Where the loved ones watched and waited with that
love that never fails;
HI with them as in childhood, seated in the cot
,,, tage door,
Where he watched the evening shadows slowly creep
ing on the floor;
Bend down closely, comrades, closely, he is speaking
now. and hark
sit is growing very dark, mother-very, very dark"
He was dreaming of his mother that her loving hand
was pressed
On his brow for one short moment ere he sank away
to rest;
That her lips were now irnprinting kiss upon his
cheek,
And a voice he well remembered spoke so soft and
low, and meek.
Her gentle form was him, her footstep he could
mark.
But It's growing very dark, mother-mother-very
dark"
And the, eye that once had kindled, flashing forth
with patriot light.
Slowly gazing, vany strove to pierce the gathering
gloom of night.
All! poor soldier-oh! fond mother, you are severed
for aye;
Cold and pulseless, there he lies now, where he
breathed his life away.
Through this heavy cloud of sorrow shines there
not one heavenly spark?
An! II has grown dark, mother-very, uerV dark
Gather round him. soldiers, gather fold his hands and
close his eyes,
Near another one is dying, Rally round our flag"
he cries;
" Heaven protect it-fght on, comrades, speedily
avenge our death !"
Then his voice grew low and falterinr slowly came
each painful breath.
Two brave forms lay side by side there; death had
loved shining mark,
And two sad mothers say, at has grown dark ahl

THE NARROW ESCAPE.

Carpet shoes are much needed in the
hospital The remark was made in a city
railroad car. Two ladies we're conversing,
and third sat listening to what they were
saying. The listener was quite young, a
fair faced girl with soft brown eyes, whose
countenance was full Of interest She was
stranger to the ladies and therefore did
not join in the conversation, but she took
in every word.
At Chestnut street she signed to the con
ductor, who stopped the car, and she left it
going down to the square below Ninth
street. In front of Evans dry good store
she paused and then passed in. But after
moving towards one of the counters few pa
ces she stood still for an instant, as if in de-
bate on some subject, and then turned about

there Was an apparent hesitating state of
mind. She walked as far as Eighth street,
stood little while on the corner, then re.
traced her steps as far as Evans, paused
there, turned toward the door as if resolved
to enter; aud then as if the debate which
had been going on in her mind had closed,
pressed Hp the street with firm step and
determined manner. A little while after
wards she was in carpet store inquiring
the price of small remnants
For what purpose are they intended

The fair faced heightened in color with
the almost timid answer
'For carpet shoes. They are wanted in

that expressed surprise The speaker was

Half of three quarters of an hour of al

Wadsworth orders charge, to recover his
command from a slight wavcring. He is
cheered loudly by his men, who loved the
gray haired chieftain. One horse is shot
under him. He mounts second, and
spurs to the front, hat in hand, and we
should have won then, but his men saw
him fall He was shot through the head,
killed Instantly, and his body fell into the
hands Of the enemy. His command fell
back to their original position with COM
parative order. Wadsworth's death is a
heavy loss.
Prisoners came in at the rate of 100 an
hour. The day was excessively hot, and

BY PRIVATE MILES o'REI1LY.

Three years ago to-day
We raised our hands to Heaven,
And on the rolls of muster
Our names were thirty seven;
There were just a thousand bayOnets,
And the swords were thirty-seven,
AS we took the oath of service
With right hands raised to Heaven.
Oh twas gallant day,
In memory still adOred,
That day of our sun bright nuptialS
With the muSlzet and the sword!
Shrill rang the flies, the bugles blared,
And beneath a. clOudleSS Heaven
Twinlxled a thousand bayonets
And the swords were thirty-Seven.
Of the Thousand stalwart bayonets
Two hundred march to-day;
Hundreds lie in Virginia swamps,
And hundreds in Maryland clay
And other hundreds, less happy, drag
Their shattered limbs around,
And envy the deep, long, blessed sleep
OF the battle-feld's holy ground.
For the swords-one night a week ago,
The remnant, just eleven,
Gathered around a banquett1ng board
With seats for thirty
There were two 1imped in on crutches,
And NO had each but hand
To pour the wine and raise the cup
AS we toasted " Our flag and landp
And the room seemed filed with whispers
AS we looked at the vacant seats,
And with choking threats we pushed aside
The rich but untaSted meats;
Then in silence we brimmed our glasses,
AS we rose up-just eleven,
And bowed drank to the loved and the dead
Who had made us THIRTY-SEVEN.
