In this gret Republican nation,
Can not afford to step aside
From the wife who was his bride.
Yon must teach him to be true,
Whatever he has to do,
To the vows by which he was married,
And the friends by whom he is carried.
You must teach him by example
On weak woman not to trample,
And how very, very wrong
To betray her for song.
You must tell him when he has anything
to say,
He must not make such long, long delays,
For silence, in face of such comment,
To the scandal always gives consent.
Yo must teach him in good time
That stitch in time saves nine,
And when an indiscretion he has made
The bill would better quietly be paid
Finally, tell him that women lawyers,
Like fiery equine pawers.
When they get statesman on the hip,
Are apt up Salt River to give him trip.

Hancock, in personal appearance, is
tall, well formed and very handsome. His
height cannot be less than six feet two
inches, and he weighs fully two hundred
and forty pounds. He would make the
finest looking President who ever sat in the
White House, except, possibly, George
Washington. His form towers above other
men, and he attracts attention by his
mere looks wherever he goes. His eyes
are blue, and have a benignant and mild
expression when In repOse, but inspiring
when In danger. His manner is digulfed
aud knighuy, and he Is courtesy itself.

Hancock did not recover from bis
wound until December, 1853, when, al.
though still quite lame, he reported for
duty, and was sent north TO recruit his
corps. lie was rendered reception at
Independence Hall by the citizens Of
Philadelphia, and received the hospitali.

New York. In March, 1854, he Tejoined
his corps and participated in the battles
OF the Wilderness with Grant lie com.
handed the Second and parts OF Fifth
and Sixth corps, amounting In all to fifty
thousand men. He fought at Alesop'S
House, capturing Stonewall" JRckson's
old brigade, 1000 prisoners and thirty
colors. He was at North Anna, and did
most OF the fighting there. He command.
ed at the bloody assaults on Cold Hafbor,
and did his best 10 execute Grants or.
ders. The fighting WAS desperate, and
HancoCk's loss could not have fallen far
short OF IL 000 He was on the south side
OF the James river. and made the assaults
on Petersburg. He was with Sheridan,
and attacked the enemy at Deep Bottom,
taking four pieces otartillery, six hundred
prisoners and thee stand Of colOrs. He
was at Petersburg and witnessed the ex.
ploslon OF the mine on the morning oil
July 30. The advance up the James river,
August l2, 1864, was under his command,
and he handled the Second and Tenth
Corps oil the Army Of the James and
Gregg's division Of cavalry with such con-
summate skill as to elicit expressions Of
admiration even from General Grant. He
fought the battle OF Reams' Station, Au.
gust IS, and bad his horse shot under
him. He fought the battle OF BOydton
Road, capturing 1000 prisoners and two
stand OF colors.
With the battle OF Boydton General
Hancocks active fighting In the war
ceased. President Lincoln, who had
learned TO place high estimate on Han.
cocks abilities, ordered him to Washing.
ton and directed him at once 10 proceed
with and organize an army OF $1,000 vet.
Grams from discharged volunteers who had
served ap enlistment. The use OF this
army was alone prevented by the surren'
der Of Lee and the ending OF the war. AT
the close OF the war Hancock commanded
the army Of Shenandoah, relieving Gen.
eral Sheridan. This army consisted Of
5000 men OF all arms, and was des-
tined TO move south with HancoCk's So.
900 veterans and Join General Sherman,
but Joe Johnson threw upthe sponge and
rendered the movement unnecessary.
