WARS HORRORS.

1t was the 30th of November,
1864. At O'Clock IN the afternoon
the line of battle was formed, Stew
art on the right, Cheatham on the
left, their right and left fanks, in
terlocked like Parthian shields, COM
posing the center. General Stephen
d. Lees corps was held in reserve.
Cleburne's position was in the center !;
his division formed in three battle
lines, and he at its head. Thus
arranged, Hoods line was nearly two
miles long, advancing, curved like a
Mussulman's cimeter, with the blade
to the foe. But let us follow Gle
bnrne. Bugles were blowing, drums
beating, and bands playing. A couri-
er dashed up to Clebourne's presence,
and soon the word Attention i''
was given, then Forward, march p
and the column passed over a hill
and through little skirt of woods.
Soon they emerged into all open field
and steadily they passed on with
s'proper cadence" toward blood and
death. The Federal batteries began
to open. FIRST came solid shot bound
ing over the earth and tearing crash
ing through the ranks, the shrieking
shells few through the air on the
wings of destruction, bursting under
and above and around the men, and,
at every explosion unbinding more
evils than ever flew from Pandora's
box. Twilight was coming on. ''For-
ward men p was repeated all along
the line. A living sheet of fire was
poured into their ranks. Bot the
men pressed forward until the terrific
roar ran from center to flank, from
wing to wing.
Night came and the two armies
fought like two blind giants in de-
spair. Cleburne's old war cry rang
out above the din of arms; "Follow
me, boys!' Once again, and again,
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1883-03-26

and again seven times, Cleburne's
division, and, indeed, all of Hoods
army, charged the breastworks. And
once again, and again, and again,
seven times were they repulsed.
Every time they formed and reformed
under most CALLING fire. At one
time, just after dusk, Cleburne cap
tured a portion of the works and
turned the guns of Federal battery
on their former owners; but it was
only for few moments-a little sill
yer rift in the battle clouds that en-
veloped him in darkness. It was
the hottest fire Cleburne had ever
met. 1t was but one stream of blaz-
ing hades. Confederates were on
one side of the breastworks and Fed
erals on the other. Men fell fiat on
their faces and fired from behind the
bodies of their dead comrades. Dead
soldiers filled the intrenchments.
Blood made the earth as slippery as
an ice pond. Thus the firing was
kept up until after midnight, and
gradually died out. But both armies
held their own. The Confederates
passed the night where they were,
just outside the breastworks. The
Federals, only few feet off, held
their cover until near daybreak, when
they quietly marched back to Nash
| vile.
But when the morrow sun began
to light up the sky the surviving
soldiers looked out upon sad bat
tlefeld. The dead were piled one on
top of the other in awful heaps, and
the wounded seemed thicker than the
uncounted stars. Horses, like men,
had died game upon the defenses.
Cleburne's body lay there on the top
of the breastworks, CHASTITY in the
sleep of death, pierced with forty
nine bullets, through and through.
His mare had her forefeet on top of
the works, dead in that position.
Not far from where Cleburne lay
was seen the dead body of General
Adams. His horse had his forefeet
on one side of the works and his
hindfeet on the other, dead. The
general seems to have been caught
so that he was held to the horses
back, sitting bolt upright in his sad
die. as if living, riddied and torn
with balls. General Stahl lay by the
roadside and his horse by his side,
both dead, and all his staff. General
Gist from South Carolina was lying
with his sword, reaching across the
breastworks, still grasped in his hand.
He, too, was dead. General Gran
berry of Texas and his horse was
seen, horse and rider, right on top
of the breastworks, dead. All dead.
Four thousand five hundred soldiers
all lying side by side in death. Thir-
teen Confederate generals were killed
and wounded. Six brothers, MEM
bers of Mississippi regiment, were
all dead. "This was the bloodiest
picture in the book of time"

AT SEA.

One does not seem really to have
got out of doors till he goes to sea.
On the land he is shut in by the hills,
or the forests, or more or less housed
by the sharp lines of his horizon.
But at sea he finds the roof taken off,
the walls taken down; he is no long
er in the hollow of the earth's hand,
but upon its naked back, with moth
ing between him and the immensi-
ties. He is in the great cosmic out
of-doors, as much so as if voyaging
to the moon or to Mars. An astro-
nomic solitude and vacuity surrounds
him; his only guides and landmarks
are stellar; the earth has disappear
ed; the horizon has gone; he has
only the sky and its orbs left; this
cold, vitreous, blue-black liquid
through which the ship plows is not
water, but some denser form of the
cosmic ether. He can now see the
curve of the sphere which the hills
hid from him; he can study astron-
omy under improved conditions. If
he was being borne through the in
terplanetary spaces on an immense
shield, his impressions would not
perhaps be much different. He would
find the same vacuity, the same blank
OF negative space, the same empty,
indefinite, oppressive out-of-doors.
For it must be admitted that
voyage at sea is more impressive to
the Imagination than to the actual
sense. The world is left behind
all standards of size, of magnitude,
of distance, are vanished; the uni
verse has dwindled to little circle
of crumpled water, that journeys
with you day after day, and to which
you seem bound by some enchant-
ment. The sky becomes a shallow,
close-itting dome, or else pail of
cloud that seems ready to descend
upon you. You cannot see OF real
ize the vast and vacant surrounding
there is nothing to define it or set it
off. Three thousand miles of ocean
space are less impressive than three
miles bounded by rugged mountain
walls. Indeed, the grandeur of
form, of magnitude, of distance, of
proportion, etc., are only upon the
shore. A voyage across the Atlantic
is a ten-day sail through vacancy.
There is no sensible progress; you
pass no fixed points. Is it the
steamer that is moving, or is it the
sea? or is it all dance and illusion
of the troubled brain? Yesterday,
to-day, and tomorrow, you are in
the same parenthesis of nowhere.
The three hundred or more miles the
ship daily makes is ideal, not real.
Every night the stars dance and reel
there in the same place amid the
rigging every morning the sun
comes up from behind the same
wave, and staggers slowly across the
sinister sky.-Century.

CARD-PLAYING.

[ have often heard it remarked by
very moral and good people that
"there is no harm in simple game
of cards. This is all very well in
theory, but experience and observa-
ton teach me that card-playingis one
of the most dangerous, as well as fas-
cinating, amusements that young
person of either sex can engage In.
When | was about eleven years old
/ went as clerk in store where the
employees boarded with the pIoprie-
tor and slept in a room over the
store. The store opened very early
in the morning, and closed at 10
O'Clock in the evening, so we should
have spent all the time that the store
was closed in sleep; but there was
such a strange fascination in cards
that we were often playing nearly half
the night, and / know of no other
game that would have so infatuated
us as cards did. If we played check
ers or any other game of skill, we did
not become so interested as to de-
prive US of the rest we so much
needed.
The associations and gambling
tendencies of cards must be admitted
by every one. They are the profess
sional gamblers principal-and 1
might say only-tool; and it never
adds to the reputation of young
man to be seen playing cards, or for
pack of cards to be found in his
possession. If a policeman should
stop me at night and find me with a
burglars Jimmy" in my possession,
he would certainly arrest me, and /
would be compelled to prove my in
nocence of intended burglary. So

BY THE WAYSIDE.

Two aged men entered street car
few days ago, in a neighboring
city, one of them, who was paralized,
said in reply to question of tho 9th
er as to his walfare, Il have a very
large interest in the next world"
When asked, "How are you off for
this world y he answered pleasantly
that he bad enough to meet his wants
while he lived, and then he added,
''But / have very large interest in
the next world" The conversation
attracted the attention of other pas
sengers, and one of them who nara
ted it said that those words kept
ringing in his ears all the rest of the
day. He could not get rid of the
deep impression made by the singular
earnestness and happiness of the old
disciple.
Sure this is the beauty of old age,
its joy and blessedness, the calm as
surance of a portion beyond this life
in ssthe inheritance of the saints in
light"
Little, too, did the veteran think
of the power of his reiterated SEN
tence upon the hearts of fellow trav-
ellers, who did not even know his
name. Yet these wayside utterances
of warm-hearted Christians are often
the most eloquent lay preachers,
both to unconverted people and to
believers who happen to overhear
them. Our unconscious influences
are frequently the best or the worst
that we exert.
But the best of all is when the
pilgrim life draws near it's close, and
when the staff and sandals are so
soon to be laid aside, to feel that our
best and largest ''interests are in the
next world.' That treasure grows
at more than compound interest. It's
value increases as the vision of it
widens like the armament. These
riches cannot stake to themselves
wings and fly away" 1t is life
interest for eternity, and faith only
asserts its own divine prerogative,
"while we look not at the things
which are seen, for the things which
are seen are temporal, but the things
which are not seen are eternal. .

GIRLS, Don't GET MARRIED.-
Girls, don't be in a hurry to get mar
ried. If you are but sixteen, don't
allow such an idea to get into your
head for at least four years. Don't
even run the risk of it by permitting
any young man to get as far as the
proposing point. Fight them off and
make him wait or 90 away to some
body who is ready. Don't live under
the impression that you must accept
the first lovesick youth who proposes.
Be patient, deliberate and sagacious.
There is world of happlnessfor you
between sixteen and twenty. The
world would be dreary old waste if
it were not for the sweet faces of
young girls, with their piquant say
lngs and melting smiles. Your faith
er has bought you piano, and you
have learned how to play after many
long and wearisome lessons. Don't
spoil all by getting married, for after
that you won't have much use for
your piano. After you have reached
twenty, it would be well to consider
the matrimonial problem with some
seriousness.

DAISIES IN THE CITY


Away from the sod that bore them,
Away from the waving grass,
Away from the winds that kissed them,
Down in the meadow pass.
Away from the sun that gave them
Their hearts of yellowest gold,
Away from the tears of heaven,
And the love they nightly told.
Away from the song of the bobollnk,
Away from the song of the rain,
Away from the song of the reaper's scythe,
AS il sweeps through the golden grain,
Away from the song of the whirrihg bee.
As it seeks the purple clover,
Away from the song of the farmers lass,
As she sings of her farmer lover.
Away from the smiles of the summer sky
Sweet recollections bringing:
For IN the shadow Of these walls
hear the threstle singing;
l see the face of nature glow,
With all her brilliant treasures,
And haunt the scenes of earlier years.
And pursue my childhood pleasures.
And many eyes are filled with tears,s
When in my easement spying
These messengers from scented fields,
And many hearts with signing;
And some, perhaps. as have caught,
From out their fragrance spreading.

In heavenly fields are shedding

Whether ones wealthy or whether ones poor;
Eyes bright as berry,
Cheeks red as cherry,
The groan and the curse and the heartache can
Resolve to be merry.

Across the famed waters that bid US forget,

But happy and cheerful
