THE CHILDnEN's PICTURES.
ORc of the most touching incidents Of
that great battle was that Of the finding
of a tin,type picture Of three children in
the hand of dead soldier. There was
no way Of identifying him, only by the
picture, which was copied in the papers
throughout the country, leading to the
identification of the soldier as Sergeant
Hunmiston, of a New York Regiment.

Ger the unknown soldiers crave,
Shrouded In his c0untry's blue
And the flag he died TO save.
Lay him 10 rest beneath the sod
The soldier unknown-ssve TO his God"
