Down AMONG The DEAD MEN.-A

DOWN AMONG The DEAD MEN.-At
length fifth ball struck General John
Gordon, now Senator Coz don from Geor-
gi:e, full in the face, and entering his
cheek knocked him senseleas. He fell.
and for some time his prostrate body was
wrapped in the smoke of battle. We hear
from General Gordon's own lips story
that in a metaphysical point is exceed
in&sly interesting. He said that when he
fell lie as utterly incapable of moving.
He gradually began to thin * of his con-
dition, and this is the half dream and
half soli!oquy that he carried on: II
have hcen struck in the head with 4 six
pound solid shot. 1t has carried away
my head. On tho left side there is Il little
piece Of skull left. But the brain is gone
entirely. Therefore, l am dead. And vet

with his head shot Off? And if I am
thinkii =. car not be dead And vet no
man can live after his head is shot off. 1
may have consciousness while dead,
but not motion. III can lift my leg, then
am alive. l will try that. Can II Yes,
there it is; lifted mp! I'm all rightw
The general says that every stage of this
soliloquy is inde!ibly stamped on his
mind, and that in his exhausted state
the reasoning was carried on as logically
as ever man reasoned at his desk. Doubt
succeeded argument and argument dis
placed doubt just rs logically as could be:
| He says he will never forget with what
anxiety he made the test of lifting his
leg what agony he waited to see
whctha" OF not it woEid move in response
=. to lis effort, and how he hesitated before
trying it ior fear that it might fail, and
! his death be thereby demonstrated.

try since 1872 when such Il measure has

session after that year was in 1913, from
May 24 to August2, to provide for car

second lasted from September to Octo-

called TO provide the pece ssary supplies

fifth was called to provide means for car

October Is and ended December 3, 1877
being called to provide necessary supplies
for the army, the regular session of the
Eorty-Eourth Congress falling to make
the appropriation, owing to the Presi-

TIE CHILD RAPHAEL.
BY MARGARET j. PRESTON.

l know you have heard the story,
And gotten the name BY heart,
OF one Of the grand Old y Hasters--
Iney call him '.'Ihe Prince of Art'-
Who painted the purcst pictures
Christs OF the g"ntlcst ni"n,
And the loveiiest Virgin Mothers
That ever the world has seen.
What vision suggested the graccs
That o'cv his t'adonuas shine 2
And where could he find Il baby
To paiut that was so divinc9
And whence had he skill to do it ?
And how did he come to know,
Better than Ill the Masters,
Why lie could paint them so2
You haven't discovered the reason?
Then listen; and if you'll try
To follow my little story,
think l can tell you why.
In an old italian city,
'Urbino, the queer and quaint,
There lived G!ivanni San:i,
An artist who loved to paint
Like all Of those famous Masters,
Whom faith in the Cliulc ch beguiled
Still over and over, the faces
OF the Mother and Holy Child.
And when be had need of models,
What models SO sweet conld be,
To him, as his beautiful Magia,
With her baby upon her !>ncee
And so sho was called "Madonna'
(Tor whom she so oft Suiiiccu y
nd 81 tf,rI- irt named her bnf,N
Raphael, the '.Infant Christi
All. surely, tender shadow
Would temper lie mothers joy
Whenever the fathers painted
A halo about tie boy.
For fear, in tho life before him.
Her RHphael-who could tell
Might learn of the cross burden,
And the thorn ana the nail rs we'll.
And surely Il mystic radiance
Over the hoy would shine
AS he thought they had deemed hin
worthy
To ina &c the Child Divine
No wonder he walked exulting
Through all of his happy years,
No wonder she looked celestial
AS seen through his orphan tears -?
The mcmcry that filed his childhood
On his canvas left its trace
For each of his sweet Madonnas
Hold hints of his mothers face.
s-yThe New York Ecpress evidonti
knows how it is. 1t says:
when the ileecy snow has vanished,
And the ice has melted up.
And the golAeh-striped Sir Bumhlo
Roosts upon the lily's cup,
And the days are bright and mellow,
And the robins sweetly sing,
Then the lisping blue-eycd maiden
viii indite an ode on spring,
And make some editor howl It'll his cola
flies off its rear mooring.
