keenan's Charge,

keenan's Charge.
(At the battle Of Charlottesville, Va,
May z. 1862, 1t became necessary to bring
q Federal battery into position to resist
sudden onset of Stonewall Jackson. To
gain few minutes time, Mai. Peter Kee-
nan. Of the Eighth Penn. Cav, was or
'dered to charge the enemy; and with his
400 men he rode against 10000, in a
charge as gallant as that of the Light
Brfgade.)
BY the shrouded CLEAN of the Western
skies,
Brave keenan, looked in Pleasanto
eyes,
For an instant-clear, and cool and still;
Then with a smile, he said: II will"
Cavalry, charged Not a man Of them
shrank,
Their sharp, full cheer, from rank to
rank ...
Rose joyously, with willing breath
Rose like greeting hail to death.
Then forward they sprang and spurred
and clashed:
Shouted the officers crimson-sashed:
Rode we'll the men, each brave a. his
fellow, 20
In their faded coats of blue and yellow.
And above in the air with an instinct
true,
Like bird of war their pennon few.
With clank of scabbards and thunder Of
steeds.
And blades that shine like sunlit reeds.
And strong brown faces bravely pale
> For Year their pfouGf attempt shall fail;
-Four hundred Pennsylvanians close
On twice ten thousand gallant foes,
lime after line the troopers came
To the edge of the wood that was tinged
with fame.
Rode in and sabered and shot-and fell;
Nor came one back his wounds to tell.
And full in the midst rose keenan,. tall
In the gloom, like a martyr awaiting his
fall,
While the circle stroke of his saber swung
Round his head, like halo there, lumin-
GUS hung.
Line after line: ay. whole platoons,
Struck dead in their saddles, Of brave
dragons,
BY the maddened horses were onward
borne,
And into the vortex flung, trampled and
As Keenan, fought with his men side by
side.
So they rode, till there was no more to
ride,
But over them. lying shattered and mute.
What deep echo rolls? IT'S a death sa-
Lutte
From the cannon in place; for, heroes, you
braved
Your fate not in vain; the army is saved.
Over them now. year following year.
Over their graves the pine cones fall.
And the whippoorwill chants his specter
call:
But they stir not again; raise no cheer.
They have ceased. But glory shall never
cease.
Nor their light be quenched in the light of
peace.
The rush of their charge is resounding
still.
That saved the army at Charlottesville.

The story is told that when after the
second battle Of Bull Run Gen. Sickles
assumed command of division of the
Army OF the Potomac he gave an elab-
crate farewell dinner to the officers Of
his old Excelsior Brigade.
"Now, boys, We will have family
gathering" he said to them, as they
assembled In his quarters. Pointing to
the table, he continued, treat 1t as you
would the enemy"
As the feast ended, an Irish officer,
Capt. Byrnes, was discovered by Sic
kles In the act Of slowing away three
bottles Of champagne in his saddle
bags.
