ON THE DEATH aORe AN INVINCIBLE
SOLDIER.
BY K. C. sTEDMAN.

BY r. C. sTEpMAS.
o. what sora campaign,
OF which men long shall tell
Ended when,he Was slain
When this our greatest fell.
For him no mold had cast
A bullet surely sped;
No faichion, welded fast,
His iron blood had shed.
Death on the hundredth field
Had failed to bring him low:
He WAS not born 10 yield
To might Of mortal foe.
Even TO himself unknown,
He bore ihefated sword,
Forged soms&hen. near His throne.
OF battles stin the Lord.
That weapon when he drew,
Back rolled the wrath of mem
Their onset feebler grew,
The Nation rose again.
The splendor and the fame
Whisper of these alone,
Nor say that round his name
A moments shade was thrown.
Count not each satellite
Twixt him and glory's sun.
The circling things of night
Number his battles won.
Where then to choose his grave.
From mountain unto sea,
The land he fought TO save
His sepulchre shall be.
Yet to its fruitful earth
His quickening ashes lend,
That chieftains may have birth,
And patriots without end.
His carven scroll shall read:
Here rests the valiant heart
Whose duty WAS his creed
Whose choice, the warriors para
Who, when the fight was done,
The grim last foe defied,
NRught knew save victory won
Surrendered not-but died.

We hear good deal of the church mill
tant and of muscular Christianity III these
latter days but the sample thereof eNhih-
tied down in New Ier>e. the other day lay
over any recent specimen that has come 10
the public notice. II was in Macedonia, y.
J. tScriptural mem. Come over into
Macedonia and help u>.'1 But the Rev
erend James Hammett did not appear TO
helped himself.
The Rev. Hammrtt is a preacher of the
African Methodist church i'll Macedonia.
! Old Peter Rock l. the wealthieSt colOret
man of that A. NJ. parish. Peter Rock
family. including Two muscular SONS,
Charles and junior Peter. have not loved
the preacher, aS the Book enjoineth the
brethren to DO. There Was a bitterness.
| which needed oni! the opportunity 10 break
out into gall.
The opportunity presented itself at a fair
! in the church. The Rev. Hammett accused
some Of the men who We're running the
cigar and ginger pop counters of not having
turned over t. the church the proper
amount of money on sales. In about
| ten minutes after that. he Was Informed
| that a gentleman desired To speak with him
outdoors on the steps. The preacher stepped
out and found that gentleman Ia he in the
plural number: namely. Charles and Peter
| tsonI Rock and several others of the
younger brethren.
| These lambs abused and threatened their
| Christian pastor. They did not -mite him
un one cheek. so that he might have turned
the other also but they drew near unto
| him and pressed him sore, in>omnch that he
retreated into the church. back foremost,
and retrogrr>Sed up the aisle toward the
altar. When he reached that he halted.
He WAS obliged to: his back was against il.
Then the Rev. lanes Hamnrtt did not
offer any prayer. He did hot say any en-
treating or loving words. He uttered no
sweetness of any description. He forget
even to turn his cheek for the dear young
brethren to slap. But he did not forget his
breast pocket. He just happened Ia recol-
lee, something in there. He put his hand
in on il and then spoke out in an earnest
camp-meeting pitch OF voice, saying. Come
another step at your peril
Hereupon the brethren drew pistols and
knives. and Young man Peter Rock made a
lunge for his reverence. In the twinkling
of all eye the plous man whipped uut a gun,
i2-calihre, clf-cOckng. and slammed a
bullet into Peter Rocks thigh. Peter
squealed. the other fellows made a rush foI
the door the brethren shouted, the sisters
screamed. and the serene and beloved
pastor stood pe.ring through the smoke OF
his pistol. il prradvrnture he might get
another shot. But the enemy had dis
per>ed The brethren carried off the
wounded; the preacher p"cketed his gun
and the services were closed for the day
His muscular reverence is now ont on
bail: young man Peter is at home in bed
with a bad leg: and the other reyiyali-ts
are in the county Jail awaiting trial fol
criminal assault.
The most obvious thing to remark about
the transaction is the evangelical piStol-a
