His Mothers Song.

Beneath the hot Midsummer sun
The men had marched all day;
And now beside q ripping stream
Upon the grass they lay.
firing of games and idle tests,
As swept the hours along,
They called to one who mused apart,
Come, friend, give US song"
fear ] cannot please" he said:
The only songs | know
Are those my mother used TO sing
For me long years ago."
Sing one of those,n a rough voice cried,
There's none but true men here;
To every mothers son of US
A mothers songs are DEAR"
Then sweetly rose the singers voice
Amid unwonted calm
" Am l a soldier of the cross
follower of the Lamb"
And shall fear to own his cause"
The very stream was stilled,
And hearts that never throbbed with fear
With tender thoughts were filed.
Ended the song. the singer said,
As TO his feet he rose,
Thanks to you all, my friends, good night,
God grant us sweet repose."
Sing us some more" the captain begged,
The soldier bowed his head
Then giapeing round with smiling lips,
You'll join with me-" he said.
"We'll sing that old familiar air,
Sweet as the bugle call,
All hail the power of Jesus name,
Let angels PROSTATE fail"
Ali wondrous was the old tunes spell
AS on the singer sang;
Man after man fell into line,
And loud the voices rang
The songs are done, thecamp is still,
Naught but the stream is heard;
But all the depths of every soul
BY those old hymns are stirred.
And up from many bearded lip,
In whispers soft and low
Rises the prayer the mother taught
The boy long years ago.

on the retreat we came across Gen. Logan, who
shouted out to US that he had been wounded
five times and had never turned his back to
the foe yet. What regiment is that2" he
asked; and hearing that we were of the 34th
Ind, he said that Indiana should not be dis
graced and we must stop right there. OF course
we stopped, and as our Adjutant came riding
up about that time, the General, seeing his
rank, called out, "Adjntant, get your men to-
