vious night, when the Twelfth corps
men were away repelling Longstreet on
another part Of the field. An open mead
ow 100 yards across lay between the
c and the enemy massed heavily
III the stolen trenches and among the
huge rocks in the woods in front of
them. When Colonel Nudge received
the order to go, he exclaimed: "It is
murder, but it is the order. Second
Massachusetts,, come on!' With a cheer
the men leaped their works and started
double quick across the field. Colonel
Nudge was killed instantly while sound
ing the first battlecry. The fusillade
which the enemy directed upon that
narrow space was terrible. The regi-
mental flag lost five bearers, three of
them killed outright, and in the bloody
dash of 100 PAGES 10 officers and 1923
men went down, half the rank and file.
Arriving at the foot of the hill, Cap
tain Morse, who succeeded the dead
colonel, found his TANKS unsupported
and the enemy throwing a force in his
rear. The line was drawn back on the
and in that position the men
stood, firing rapidly until they had emp
tied their boxes and the general ordered
a retreat.
Out of the original 1,O19 officers and
men mustered at Brook Farm, 113 were
killed in battle, and the total killed and
wounded was 603, all in the ranks of
the Second Massachusetts.

NIisspent Time.

There is no remedy for time ~misspent.
No healing for the waste of idleness,
Whose very languor is a punishment
Heavier than active souls can feel or guess.
Oh, hours of Incidence and discomfort,
Not now to be redeemed! Ye sting not less
Because l know this span of life was lent
Tor lofty duties, not for selfishness.
Not to be whiled away in endless dreams,
But to improve ourselves and serve mankind
Life and its choicest faculties were given.
Nm should be ever better than he seems
And shape his acts and discipline his mind
To walk adoring earth with hope Of heaven.
Sir Arthur de We're.

[Base of Culp's Hill.
South Carolina, a body of men noted for
gallantry in battle. The Carolinians lost
100 killed and wounded in that collision
in the woods, and it's flag was shot
down by the Massachusetts bullets,
But just at that time the ammunition
of the Second gave out, and it could
not advance to follow up the good
stroke. For two hours it had fought in
close m%usketry firing, and the boxes Of
the men We're empty. Refusing to leave,
however, Colonel Quincy sent messen-
gers to the rear to make his wants
known at headquarters. The men fixed
bayonets and TODD there on the defensive
with n shot in reserve for the irving
moment should the enemy press his adj.
vantage. There they stood in sullen de-.
fiance, SUR ounded by over 100 of their
comrades who had fallen in that I'M
equal fight. Gettysburg was to the Sec
ond Massachusetts as to many another
gallant Union fighting regiment-the
field OF their brightest fame. One hour
there the survivors may recall as did
the Mexican veteran the glorious charge
at Monterey:
We are not many, we who pressed
Beside the brave who fell that day.
But who Of us has not confessed
He'd rather share their warrior rest
Than not have been 1t Monterrey
The hour was in the early morning Of
July 2, when the regiment was ordered
to recapture breastworks at the base
of Culp's Hill which had been carried
by a bold Confederate charge the pre-.

A Poor Mans Wealth,

A poor man? Yes, l must con fess,
No wealth of gold do l possess.
No pastures fine, with grazing kline,
Nor fields of waving grain are mine;
No foot of fat or fallow land
Where riShtfully my feet may stand
The while l claim it as my own,
My deed II title, mine alone.
All, poor indeed, perhaps you say,
But spare me your compassion, pray.
When l ride not-with you'll walk
In natures company and talk
With one who will not slight or slur
The child forever dear to her,
And one who ansW ers back, be sure,
With smile for smile, though I am poor.
And while communing thus I count
An inner wealth of large amount,
The wealth of honest + blent
With penury's environments,
The wealth of owing naught today
But debts that l would gladly pay
With wealth of thanks still unsurpassed
With cumulative interest.
A wealth of patience and content
For all my ways ~improvident,
a faith still fondly exercised
For all my plans unrealized,
A wealth of promises that still,
Howe'er I fail, l hope to fill,
A wealth of charity for those
Who pity me my ragged clothes.
A poor man? Yes, I must confess,
No wealth of gold do l possess.
No pastures fine, with grazing kline,
Nor fields of waving grain are NINE.
But, ah, my friend, I've wealth no end,
For millionaires might condescend
To bend the knee and envy me
This o%pulence of poverty.

Success.
The stoutest ship may breast the gale
And still be driven back.
What though TO reach the port she fail,
Shall we declare she could not sail
Because she had to tack?
When storms belate and plaques impede,
When aches and ills betide,
Ambitions goal may not be Won.
Yet hast thou bravely, nobly done
If thou hast bravely tried.
He nob!y does who nobly dares"
When trials sore Cypress.
Whose perseverance naught can shake,
Though failure follows in his wake,
His failure is success.
The ~fiercest battles are to fight,
The strongest forts to scale.
Sometimes the bravest heroes fall,
Sometimes the truest lives of all
Are lived by ones who fail.
