CONDUCTED By
REV. ROBERT LATHAM.
THE DRUMMER BOY.

It was on the morning of Sept. 81, 1858.
Few rising suns ever shown on more terrible
scene than that presented this morning on the
battle field of Chickamauga.
The forms of hundreds of brave men lay cold
and silent in death, remaining as they had
fallen in the heat of the conflict, while bravely
fighting. The silence of death brooded over
the field, and death indeed was there in all it's
terror Silence rendered doubly so by the
closing echoes of the terrible carnage Of the
past two days.
The wounded had all been cared for as far
as possible, and now was consigned to the sur
vivors the solemn duty of laying to rest the
last remains of their beloved comrades. There
lay husbands, fathers, brothers, with no one to
shed parting tear except their sturdy COM
panions in many weary day of toll and blood
shed.
Suddenly there rang out upon the scene of
stiffness the sound of drum; long and loud,
rolled out the morning reveille, startling both
men and officers, coming as it did, from the
midst of where all was thought to be silent in
death.
The surgeon was sent tosinvestigate. Far
out among the dead he found little drummer
boy. Pale as the silent bodies around him
he lay resting wearly upon his drum.
The surgeon saw at glance that all would
soon bepver. Both legs had been broken by a
shell, and from the mangled limbs the current
of life was fast ebbing away. Strong man that
he was and used to death in all it's various
forms, he could not tell the boy that his suf-
ferings would shortly end, and he turned away.
Going back he requested an officer to 60 and
break the news.
The officer went to the boy, and placing his
hand softly upon his shoulder said:
s'My boy, you are badly wounded, but you
will be better SOOn."
IT know it," answered the boy. "All night
long have lain, and God only knows my suf-
ferings through the long, weary hours but
prayed that he would let me live to see the
morning sun, that I'might once more beat the
reveille to summons the men to duty as have
so often done before, and he has answered my
prayer"
'FGod is very merciful," kindly answered
the officer.
''IIe is always good,' said the boy; ''but
know what you mean by my being better soon.
am going to die, but am not afraid of death. g"
ssYOu are brave boy,'' said the officer !;
'sbut why are you not afraid to die?''
The boy placed his trembling hand in his
bosom and drew forth small pocket-Bible.
s'My mother gave this to me when / left
home, - he answered. ''She told me to read in
it every day, and have done 80. know that
Jesus is waiting with open arms to receive me.
That is why am not afraid to die. want
you to carry it to her, and tell her have
obeyed her, and that die without fear, only
sorry that could not once more see her dear
face, and hear her kind, loving voice."
Oh, the Bible precious book divine !!
Would to God that all mankind from it would
| learn Thy holy will and enjoy Thy blessed
promises 1.-The Christian.

"Krss Me, MAMMA -"Kiss me, mamma,
before sleep" How simple boon, yet how
soothing to the little supplicant is that soft,
gentle Kiss. The little head sinks contented'
Iy on the pillow, for all is peace and happi-
ness within. The bright eyes close, and the
rosy lip is revelling in the bright and sunny
dreams of innocence. Yes, kiss it, mamma,
for that goodnight kiss will linger in memory
when the giver lies mouldering in the grave.
The memory of gentle mothers kiss has
cheered many lonely wanderers pilgrim
age, and has been the beacon light to illumi-
nate his desolate heart for remember life
has many stormy billow to cross, many a
rugged path to climb, with thorns to pierce,
and we know not what is in store for the
little one so sweetly slumbering, with no mar.
ring care to disturb its peaceful dreams. The
parched and fevered lip will become dewy
again, as recollection bears to the sufferer 3
couch mothers love, a mothers kiss. Then
kiss your little ones ere they sleep There is a
magic power in that kiss which will endure to
the end of life.
