work, he wore over his forehead, fastened
on his artists cap, lighted candle, in
order that no shadows from himself, might
fall upon his work! 1t was beautiful
custom, and spoke more eloquent lesson
than he knew! For the shadows that fall

at is the lives. like the stars, which
simply pour down on US the calm light of
their bright and faithful being, up to

rather rs a natural luminarv shining bv
the gift of Heaven; flowing light foun-
tain, as we say, of native, original insight,
of manhood and heroic nobleness, in
whose radiance all souls feel that it is we'll
with them.

INCIDENT OF THE REBELLION A bat
terry of the first artillery halted one night
during the seven days fight in a little clear
ing. The men lay down, unhitchng their
horses, but leaving them in harness. The
