COMPANY X.
There is a cap in the closet, old, tattered and
OF very light value 1t may he, to you;
But crown. jewel studded, could not buy 1T
to-day,
With it's letters of honor-brave Co X
The head thnt it sheltered needs shelter no more;
Dead heroes make holy the trilles they wore;
So like chapict of honor, or laurel and bay,
Seems the cap of the sodIer-marked Go. N.
Ger the work of the Reaper - Grim Harvester
Deathi
Let the muster-TolI, meager, so monrnfully say
How foremost in danger went Co. X.
Whose footsteps, unbroken, came up to the town,
Where rampant and bastion looked tireatcningly
down!
Who. closing up breaches, still kept on their way,
Till guts downward pointed, faced Co. *?
Who faltered, or shivered? Who Stunned battle
stroke?
Whose fire was uncertain? Whose battle line
broko2
Go ask it of history, years from to day,
And the records shall tell you-not Co. X.
Though nay darling Is sleeping to-day with the
dead,
And daisies and clover bloom over his head,
/ smile through my tears as i lay it away
The battle-worn cap, lettered Go. K.'
He Sold His Clutches.
The Louisville tKeat'tsig) Courier Journal says:
Professor {. A. Donaldson, the well-known
pioneer, who was severely wounded at the
battle of Gettysburg from the effects of which
he suffered with rheumatism for over eighteen
years, bas been an, almost constant sufferer
and cripple, on crutches. He states that he
worked for years and spent $4,000 in trying
to get rid of his pain. He tried doctors, famous
baths, electric appliances, and all kinds of lini-
ments, without relief. Finally he tried st.
Jacobs Oil My crutches! he cxcIaimed yes
terday, / sold them. That st. Jacobs Oil
have been using has completely cured me- 1t
