Grant lamented the straightened cir

CHANCELLORSvILLE.

Oh, fatal field Fatal, alas,
To many a noble heart
Thy bitter tale mly neyerpass
From memory's train-it Is part
OF SORROWS that shall never fade
Until death has quenched their smart.
The rank green grass has hid from sight,
The bloodstains deep and red.
And daisies spring where ragged the fight,
And the ground lay thick with dead;
AMI where he fell, the hero youth,
The violets make their bed.
Where sung the Minie's awesome notes,
The songs Of birds resound;
Upon the air no echo floats D4R
OF battles rage profound
The peace Of God Is on the field,
And all Is holy ground.

had worn in his days of waiting, when
his life appeared to him as failure,
crowning failure, TO the end" with
but one alternative, to work or
starve, his career is unsurpassed in
American history for its remarkable
changes.
Regarding Grants period of waiting
at Galena for the tremendous strain
of responsibility and activity that was
before him, Fl. II. Kohlsatt tells
characteristic story. One day. when
he was seven years old, he rode into
Galena with his father on n load of
garden produce. They drove to the
market square. 'My father had re-
ceived from Mr.. Grant an order for
basket of vegetables" said Mr.. Kohl
satt. ''He told me to take the basket
over to Grants hide store. | went
over there, and l remember distinctly
that the hide and rolls of leather made
very bad smell. When | walked into
the store ! saw a man tipped back in
a chair with his feet on a stack of
hides. He was smoking a cigar and
reading a newspaper. l went up to
him and asked him If he was Mr..
