They sleep in sweet repose,
Life's battles for them ended,
Their eyes are forever closed.
They peacefully sleep where the sunshine
Gilds with golden light their graves;
They sleep where the silver starlight
Falls DER them, our honored braves.
They sleep meath the willow bending
Meath the whispering, murmuring pine;
They sleep on the battlefield CORY,
They sleep on he picSet-line.
Oh, brave ones, sleeping in silence,
Awaiting the last bugle call.
You have taught us the worth of our country,
For its freedom you gave up yoar all.
Sleep on, oh heroes Of Freedom,
Yonr work has been faithfully done;
Your comrades who survived you In battle
Are joining your ranks one by one
Soon all shall be numbered among you,
When the last bugie blast shall have blown,
Your hsilies will all then be over,
Your brp-n work earth then be done.
Sleep on, tnLe your rest, you deserve IL,
The struggle was mighty and long,
But you conquered mt last. and above you
The zephers waft Freedoms sweet song.

The tide of the rivers now clear;
Sleep through the night, for the dawning

"An incident occurred during Satur-
days fight which is worthy Of mention.
When the regiment on the right of my
brigade fell back, after the redan was
abandoned by the artillery, private OF
the regiment by the name Of Murray re-
fused to retire, saying:
Z" No, be jabers; the G1nerals (my-
self } orders are to defend the fort to the
last, and I'll not give it up!'
He was ordered by rebel Captain
to lay down his arms and surrender,
which he refused to do, upon which the
Captain fired his pistol at him, wound

He was then attacked by private,

net By this time the troops rallied,
came to his assistance and drove the
rebels out of the redan. He secured the
Captains revolver and his pocketbook
as trophy of his valor. / told him he
might keep both as a reward for his good
conduct.
During the fight on Friday (3d),
while the battle was raging fercest,
some of the officers of the SD iii. came
and told me that the gun-barrels had
become so hot that the men could hardly
hold them in their hands, and wanted to
know what they should do.

the guns burst was my answer
"They didn't bother me any more on
that point. 1t was no time to swap

cartridges actually exploded while the

have exceeded 10000. Van Dorm,

Binetalisn.

Bimetallism does not consist in the
parity of the two metals, but is mat
ter ct law. Law, or custom which
had the force OF law, authorized all
the gold and silver to be coined into
money. This was bimetallism be-
cause money could be made OF the
two metals at the request of the owner
OF the bullion. Gold mouometalism
is now established in the United
States and Europe, because the own
ers of gold bullion can have the same
coined into money, but the owners Of
silver bullion are denied by law any
such right. 1t is sometimes asserted
that the opening Of our mints to free
coinage of both gold and silver at the
ratio of 16 to would be silver mono
metalism. This is not true, because
the owners of the gold bullion would
have the same right of coinage As the
owners OF silver bullion.

the kind and friendly interest she has man

She is kind-hearted friend, a natural

To reporter she recently talked at some
length about DR.. Williams Pink Pills, Civ
ing some very interesting instances In her
own immediate knowledge of marvellous
cures, and the universal beneflcence of the
remedy to those who had used it.
Il have reason to know" said Mrs.
Mcdonald, something of the worth of this
medicine, for it has been demonstrated in
my own immediate family. My daughter
kittie is attending high school, and has never
been very strong since she began. | sup
pose she studies hard, and she has quite a
distance to go every day. When the small
pox broke out all of the school children had

jameson and he vaccinated her Inever saw
such an arm in my life and the doctor said
he never did. She was broken out on her
shoulders and back and was just as sick as
she could be. To add TO it all neuralgia
set in and the poor child was in
misery. She is naturally of a nerv-
Gus temperament and she suffered
most awfully. Even after she recovered
the neuralgia did not leave her. Stormy
days or days that were damp or preceded
a storm, she could not go out at all. She
was pale and thin and had no appetite.

about the Pink Pills, but got some for her
and they cured her right up. She has u
nice color in her face, eats and sleeps well.

strong in every particular. i have never
heard of anything to build up the blood
to compare with Pink Pills. l shall al
ways keep them in the house and recon-
mend them to my neighbors."
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
are considered an unfailing specific in such
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, st. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the
after-effects of la grippe, palpitation of the
1eart, pale and sallow compilations, that
tired telling resulting from nervous pros
tration; all diseases resulting from vitiated
humors in the blood, such as sCrofula,
chronic erysipelas, etc. They are also q
a specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, Irregularities and all
forms of weakness. In men they effect a
radical cure in all cases arising from men-
tai worry, oyerwork, or excesses of what
ever nature. DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
