s@Beware that thou forget not the Lord thG
God, in not keeping his commandments and
his judgments, and his statutes: Lest when
thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built
goodly houses, and dwelt therein, and when
thy herds and fiocks multiply, and thy silver
and thy gold is multiplied, then thy heart
be lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy
God"
The aboye.was addressed to the childre nof
Israel, aud is a part Of the instructions which
God gave them when they were about to
enter into tile land of Canaan May it not
with propriety be considered as applying to-
many in the present day2 Like theirs, ours
is q "goodly land, q land of brooks and wa.
ter, of fountains aud depths that spring out
of valleys and hills--a land of wheat and
barley, and vines-a land wherein thou shall
eat bread without scarconess--a land whose
stones are iron, and ont of whose hills thou
niayest dig brass" In this goodly land
very many find their herds and their flocks,
their silver and their gold, is being multi
piled. How sad if, in our prosperity, we
should forget the Great Giver and source
of all our blessings For pride ourselves as
we may on our wisdom, our diligence and
prudence, our skilful plans and well execuI

the goodness flood is at the foundation of

1t is His gift that elevates US above the
beasts, or makes us to differ from the poor
imbiclle whose thoughts wander powerlessly
from object to object. No ground for pride
here, but abundant reason for gratitude to
God. He likewise gives strength of body to
carry our plans into practice. Life and
health are from Him. @
And lastly, it is God who gives success.
Except the Lord build the house, they la
Dor in vain that build itr God gives the
rain and the sunshine; His wisdom and
power have distributed the subtle clements

has impressed the mysterious laws Of nature
which govern the termination, the growth
and maturity-of the grain. God is every

every side. Shall man, the creature and re-

CAMP ON THE PIKE SoUTH OF
Getty sburg, July q, S,3.


I attended Gen. Barksdale of Mississippi.
He was shot through the left breast, and
the left leg was broken by TWO missiles
He was brought by some staff officer to my
temporary hospital. l gave him what l
could to relieve him,
Hc asked several times whether consid-
cred his wound necessarily mortal, / told
him l did. He desired peace, but only upon
terms that would recognize The Confederacy
He was large, corpuent. refined, in appear
ance, bold, and his general physical and mem
tai appearance indicated firmness, cndur-
ance, vigor, quick perception ability to sue
coed either as q politician, civilian, or war
rior. He was member of Congress- under
Pierce and Buchanan -sfie asked about our
strength, and was answered that heavy REIN
forcerlents we're coming; said he militia
under MeClellan!" He became delirious
towards the last, and said that Lee would
show us trick before morning; that before
we knew it, "Ewell would be laundering in
our rear"
He was dressed in grey jeans of their
choice. His short roundabout was trimmed
on the sleeves with gold braid. The cuff
buttons with a star closed it. The collar
had three stars on each side next the chin;
next his body was fine cotton or linen shirt,
which was closed by three studs bearing
Masonic emblems.6 His pants had two
stripes of gold braid, half an inch broad,
down each leg. Such was his attire, when
the politician and warrior was laid on the
soil of Pennsylvania to breathe his last. He
was Brigadier General in McLaw's Divis-
ion, Longstreets Corps, died July Sd, at 2
o'clock a. M, and buried in blanket at the
house of Jacob Hammelbough, near Gettys-
burg.
This may be of use to some of his relatives,
who may perchance see it.

reply. "At this season OF tho year 1t Is al

Emile was much astohished, and said, II

the sky to find the path" kfS
His father replied, f" The traveller cannot

yon TO Your heavenly home"
Thus the two conyersed together, until
they found themselves at the door Of their
cottage.
