PEACE AND WAR.
A Soldiers Recollections of a Sad Scene
During the Great Conflict.

Soldiers RecolIections of a Sad Scene
During the Great Conflict.
1t was the night of the 30th of June,
1852. Struggling along the Marquis
City road in the black darkness, keep
ing step to the lannon's boom, we
reached Frazier's farm just as the last
shot was fired, about ten o'clock at
night.
Frazier's farm possessed great advan-
tages in favor of the federals, because
they brought every piece of their artil-
lery to bear with deadly effect, while,
owing to the confguration of the field,
the confederate guns could be served
with but feeble success
Tired and exhausted from the long
march and heat, we threw ourselves
upon the ground near where seventeen
pieces of the enemy's artillery had been
charged and captured. 1 could not
sleep. Out of the night, from blue and
gray alike, came piteous calls for water
or help, so 1 and others arose and did
all we could to alleviate the suffering.
Save these piteous cries, the twink
ling light from the feeble lanterns here
and there, as they lowered over the
wounded, was all there was to tell
that we were upon the batttefeld-so
ominous was the stiffness and so thick
the darkness.
But when morning dawned at last,
the whole indescribable scene burst
upon me.
Yonder stands those grim guns; in
front of them the earth SCARED and
scanned into great waves. Yonder lie
the infantry supports behind improvised
breastworks of rails, branches, sods-
anything, however frail, that will turn
the leaden hail On the right of these
stands a small cabin, torn, perforated
literally honeycombed - by shot.
Around in CHASTITY heaps lie the dead
more of them gray than blue Gallant
fellows! How could they stem that
torrent of fire ana capture those guns,
whose grim mouths are black from
hurting death
sad, awful picture. Terribly sugges-
tive of mans inhumanity to man. +"
But the cabin. 1t tells its own story,
which / read from the surroundings as
/ stood there in the ranks.

startled by the awful proximity of war,
seized her young child and fled for
safety. Next morning, not hearing the
battle renewed, she crept back, and on
her threshold, with a scared look, her
little child clasped in her arms, she
stood gazing upon the changed, but aw-
ful scene.
What splendid illustration of peace
and war
The dazed look of the mother. the
happy. unconscious look of the child;
then the contrast between childhood's
innocence, the timorous shrinking and

Where the Wealth Is.

1t is a popular, but fallacious, Idea
that gold and silver mines are the chief
wealth-producing sources of any nation,
and particularly of the United States.
The Yields of such famous mines as the
Comstock, with its Sl75, 900, 600 of gold
during its life, and the discovery of new
mines, are heralded to the world by the
press until the average man has his at
tention so taken up by them that he
thinks of them as the great source of
wealth. Since 1898, the product of gold
in the United States has been about one
billion dollars, an average of ten mil
lions year. In 1891, in only ten states
OF this Union (traversed by the Burling-
ton Route lines) the production of
wheat for that single year was 260 mil
lion bushels, valued at two hundred
million dollars. Five such years would
equal the value of the gold mined in a
hundred years. DO you see where the
riches of our country are? To reach the
true EldoradO, take the Burlington
Route. which runs trains daily to all
principal cities and towns of these
States. Call on your home agent for

An Easy Method of Getting Ice.

An easy way to lay in a stock of ice
for summer use Is practiced by a Mime
sofa farmer. In the winter he packs
drifted snow in his icehouse, for a few
nights, wetting it with well water.
When frozen hard it is covered with
sawdust. Last summer his stock Of
snow ice lasted until late in September;
it was just "a good and clear as river ice,
