DEATH.

Miscail me not. Men have miscalled me much
Have given hard names and harsher thoughts
to me,
Reyiled and evilly entreated me,
Built me strange temples as an unknown god,
Then called me idol, DEVIL unclean thing
And to rude insult bowed my godhead down.
Miscall me not, for men have married my form,
And in the earthborn grossness OF their
thoughts
Have coldly modelled me of their own clay,
Then fear to look on that themselves have
made.
Mjscal me not Ye know not what am,
But We shall see me face to face and know.

And teach the joyful what 1t Is to Joy.

The shattered vessels of q yexed world,
And even the tiniest ripple upon life

When other leechcraft fails the breaking brain,

It's eddies into visionless repose.
The face distorted with life's latest pang,
l smooth In passing with an angels wing.
And from beneath the quiet eyelids steal
The hidden glory of the eyes to give
A new and nobler beauty to the rest.
Belle me not. The plaques that walk the earth,
The wasting pain, the sudden agony,
Famine and war and pestilence and all
The terrors that have darkened round my
name
These are the works of life; they are not mine
Vex when tarry, vanish when come,
Instantly melting into perfect peace
As at his word whose master spirit am
Tho troubled waters slept on Galilee.
Tender am, not cruel. When take

And ienping DER the perilous years Of growth

For round the follies of the bad throw
The mantle Of kind forgetfulness,
But canonized in dear loves calendar

Germans first carried strong redoubt
on the flank north of the fort. In order
to reach 1t from the level Of the Har-
lem river, which they crossed, the as
sailants climbed the steep slopes at In

with inerciless artillery fire from the
redoubt. The Americans yielded before

son at Fort Washington. Exulting over
their first success, tho Germans demand
ed the surrender Of the fort under
threat Of putting the defenders to the
sword. Washington's orders to the COM
mandant were to hold out to the last
extremity. Fighting continued for some
hours at close quarters. But disaster
was inevitable. A column Of Americans
lay in line Of battle across the island
south Of the fort, and being attacked in
front and flank retreated and joined the
garrison. The little work was then over
crowded; the combatants hadn't space
to move. Seeing that wholesale slaugh-
ter must ensue, the commandment hoisted
the white nag. During the battle Wash
ington started to cross over from Fort
Leo and direct tho forces, but returned
on being assured that the troops could
hold out until nightfall. The enemy .

said yes, without, OF course, consulting
the enemy as to his intentions. The
days grace was to end at midnight the
18th. During the night Of the 18th San
ders' men built breastwork out Of
fence rails, sent their horses to the rear
and awaited the issue with tho other
party. It SO happened that Longstreet
was anxious for n speedy attack, and
his leading soldiers dashed up to San
ders' rail pile early the 18th. They re-
tired, carrying countless bullets from
the carbines of the troopers. Then artil-
lery was brought into play, the rails
were knocked into splinters and charg-
ing column Of Confederates overwhelm-
ed the brave cava]rymen. Sanders re-
ceived death wound as he stood erect,
head and shoulders above the f1irssy
rampant across which bullets swept like
driving hail. His courage stimulated
his men, and they buffeted the enemy
until darkness came on and the redoubts
around the city were near completion.
Directly in rear of the spot where San
ders fell there was an old Confederate
fort which the Union engineers had
been remodeling under cover Of the
plucky stand of the cavalry on the out
posts. AS soon as the news Of Sanders
heroic death was carried back it was
named in his honor. Under its walls the
fate Of Knoxville was finally decided.

take had made and passed the night in

my advice as to what his son, II sophomore

son. This important query led me to re-
view my past-how dressed when "A youth.
| was at Elton and naturally wore an Elton
jacket and tall hat from my earliest years.
| agree with English writers on dress that
a hoy, as soon as he emerges from petticoats,
should adopt tall hat. 1t gives him a
sense of dignity, and it teaches him during
these tender years TO be courtly in manner
and to be able to salute his acquaintance
with a grace which it may take him a long
period afterward to acquire.
OF course, in America, this is impossible.

This country is still young, and it resents
