SO

And, besides all this, we have our Sol
DIERs' JOURNAL, paper that would do credit to
any publisher, or to any community, but espe-
cially does it do credit to the American soldier,
and to the regulations of an American camp,
showing that even in the midst of the horrors of
war, the natural instincts and genius of our peo-
pie incline them to the nobler arts of peace.
Surely, in contemplating such a change, we
can but find reason for graduation, for an honest
pride and sincere spirit of thankfulness. We
may congratulate ourselves that belong to
that people whose unsubdued spirit will rise,
triumphing over all difficulties, and bringing
der out of apparently hopeless confusion We
have reason to be proud that though soldiers in
the field the government has not forgotten our
just claims upon it, and that as rapidly as posi-
BILE it provides for our necessities, and even for
our convenience and comfort. We have reason
to be thankful to our commanding officers, who
have so wisely and so efficiently administered
the affairs Of the camp, and brought the arrange
ments to their present state of completeness and
comfort, thus ameliorating in so many ways the
unavoidable hardships of a soldiers life.

Death.

o Death Thou strange and incomprehensible
something-what art thou? To man, thou art
known as a fell destroyer. Thou fyest upon the
wings of the morning bearing in thy ruthless
hand the poisoned arrows of swift destruction.
When night has drawn her thick mantle around
this terrestrial orb when the sons of men are
wrapt in profound slumber then, even then.
thou stealeth softly to some couch of sweet re-
pose and layeth thy icy hands upon thy unsus-
pecting victim. Thy eye slumbers. Thy
steps are ever onward and onward, causing the
proud and naughty to tremble with dismay when
the sound of thy footsteps fall upon their ear.
Thou knockest at the door of the costly palace,
and bids it's proud inmates bow in humble sub
mission to the mandate of thy relentless will,
Thou ascendeth the throne of the proud Mon
arch, and he falls transfxed, by one of thy un-
erring darts. Thou wendest thy way among the
lowly of earth's inhabitants, and here and there,
cuttest asunder the brittle thread of life, and
launches the soul into the broad eXpanse of eter-
nifty. Such is the mission of that dreaded mon
ster Death. Death is truly the King of Ter
rors "a terror to all those who obey not the
mandates of JehOvah's will and walk not in
cordance with his precepts. 1t is respector of
persons. The high and the low, the rich and the
pc or, all must yield implicit obedience to his
lectons awakened within the breast at the
echo of that word. For who has not lost friend?
Who has not stood around the death bed of some
loved one, and wiped the death damp from the
marble brow? Sad indeed to memory is the re-
collection of such scene, yet sad and painful as
it is, we may learn from it salutary lesson
Every arrow hurled by that relentless foe speaks
to us in tones of thunder: Be We also ready, for
in such an hour as we think not the Son of Man
cometh." Life is transient; Death is inevitable,
All this is solemn thought. Solemn to know
we must all pass through the iron gate of death.
solemn to think that every step bears us nearer
to the tomb. Truly the last moments of death
are of thrilling solemnity. But to the christian,
death is ever welcome messenger. Come when
it will, in the still hour of midnight when all
Jnt n n h63
earth is illumined by the respondent orb of day,
he is aver ready. To him it is a sweet transition
from this terrestrial orb to that celestial sphere,
that haven of rest, where all is joy and peace,
where the songs of Zion ascend up to the throne
of the Triu1ie God throughout the ceaseless ages
of eternity A B. T. s.
