HEROISM.

A tale Of almost unequaled selfsacrifce comes
from the Transvaal. Dr. Langdon, an English
army surgeon, was wounded at the Maiuba
Mountain on the day when Sir George Colley was
killed. The bullet struck his spine and paralyzed
his lower limbs. Knowing he must die, he called
to the orderlies near him and caused himself to
be propped up against bowlder There, in the
very presence of death, he with his own hand
forced the morphia solution into the wounded
arm of Corporal Farmer, and thus, frightfully
wounded and suffering most acutely, he died
The National tribune., 1881-12-03

captured from our troops in the morning twenty
four pieces of artillery. These were recaptured,
and twenty-four more were taken from the enemy
in the afternoon, making forty-eight pieces. Ten
battle-fiass Were also captured, and several thou
sand prisoners. General Sheridan changed horses
once during the battle. He rode the famous
black horse from Winchester to the field of bat
tie, and on the field until the final charge Just
before four o'clock, when, covered with foam, its
neck still proudly arched and eyes flashing fire,
it was led away with honor enough for one day,
and Sheridan mounted his gray horse, which he
rode till the battle was over.
The National tribune., 1881-12-03
DRIVING HOME THE COWS,

Out OF the clover and blue-eyed grass
He turned them into the river-Iane;
One after another he let them pass
Then fastened the meadow bars again
Under the willows and over the hill
He patiently followed their sober pace;
The merry whistle for once was still,
And something Swallowed the sunny face
Only a boy and his father had said
He never could let his youngest go;
Two already were lying dead
Under the feet of the trampling foe
But after the evenings work was done
And tho frogs were loud in the meadow-swamn
Over his shoulder he flung his gun
And stealthily followed the footpath damp.
Across the clover and through the wheat
With resolute heart and purpose grim
Though cold was the dew on his hurrying feet
And the blind bats fitting startled him.
Thrice since then had the lanes been white
And the orchards sweet with apple-bloom;
And now, when the cows came back at night
The feeble father drove them home
For news had come to the lonely farm
That three were lying where two had lain;
And the old mans tremulous, palsed arm
Could never lean a sons again.
The summer day grew cold and late;
He went for the COWS when the work was done;
But down the lane, he opened the gate,
He saw them coming one by one,-
Brindle, Ebony, Speckle, and Bess,
Shaking their horns in the evening wind
Cropping the buttercups out of the grass
But who was it following close behind?
Loosely swung in the idle air
The empty sleeve of army blue,
And worn and pale from the crispng hair
Looked out a face that the father knew
Fer Southern prisons will sometimes yawn,
And yield their dead unto life again;
And the day that comes with cloudy dawn
In golden glory at last may wane
The great tears sprang to their meeting eyes;
For the heart must speak when the lips are dumb
And under the silent evening skies
Together they followed the cattle home.
