A BIRD OF BATTLE.
old Abe, the Eighth wiseonsin's Fn
nous War Eagle.

Old Abe, the Eighth Wisconsin's Fn-
nous War Eagle.
The emperors of old Rome used 10
have the figure Of an eagle in silver
borne aloft before their armies, but in
our late civil war one regiment carried
q live eagle, bald-head, again and
again into battle. That regiment was
the Eighth Wisconsin volunteers, and
the bird was the special property of
company c. They bought him at the
beginning of the war, and, till the end
of the war, his place was next in rank
20 that of the regimental flag. The men
named him Old Abe, and swore him into
the United States service, a ceremony
that consisted Of putting around his
neck red, blue and white ribbons, and
decorating his breast with a rosette of
the same Being now n national bird,
he was furnished at state expense with
a new perch decorated in the national
colors, and this perch, which was used
throughout the war, and is worn and
battered with service, is still preserved
10y Wisconsin as an army relic. An
eagle bearer was appointed, company G
was the regimental color company, and
when the company formed in line the
eagle was always on the left of the color
bearer. Old Abe was in all the regi-
ment's battles. He had some Of his tail
feathers shot away once, but he never
lost a drop Of blood, and more than that,
neither color bearer nor eagle bearer in
this regiment was ever shot, so the sol
diers said that Old Abe led a charmed
life, and that he cast a spell of protec-
tion around these two men who were
his particular friends. He would grow
greatly excited in battle, and scream
and flap his wings continually; he
would also behave in this vainglorious
way any time that his regiment gave
vent to cheers, but 20 the cheering of
other regiments he paid no attention.
After he had been in the army year he
always gave heed TO attention." he
would fasten his eye on the parade
commander and note time accurately.
When parade was dismissed he would
drop his military air and stretch and
flap his wings.
The soldiers were so inspired with
enthusiasm by their bird that at the
battle OF Corinth the confederate Gen.
Price said he would rather capture
that eagle than take the whole regiment
without him. But he was never taken,
and it was the boast of his regiment
that they never lost a battle, though
they saw such hard service that nearly
half their original number lay, when
the war closed, in soldiers graves The
old colonel OF the regiment said
he sincerely believed that the
regiments proud record owed not a
little to the eagle he shared Gen.

with her on Sundays, and Andrew was
not in the habit of calling on Desires
Sunday at home, so she did not see nor

Wednesday, when his mother came TO a
quilting az Mrs. Wentworth's.
Desire had scarcely spoken to Nancy

night before the quilting, as she went

He had heard Of the frequent visits OF

How Our Boys and Girls Can Pass
Many HriRht Houra.


Who among our young readers has
ever studied the birds? We go TO school
TO study, but we almost always study
books only. For instance. we begin
with reading, spelling and writing.
then we take up geography, arithmetic
and grammar. Afterward some of us,
who have time, and can afford IL. get
as far as geometry, physiology. LATIN
and Greek. But there are other books
10 study beside these-and other teach
ers, from whom we may learn; and
the best of all is the great wide open
book OF nature, whose author is God.
This school is never closed, and the
teacher never takes n vacation. You
may say; 81 think this is queer
school," But il isn't; for IL is the most
common school in the world. Some of
the studies are the sky, the clouds, the
ocean, the mountains. the woods, the
fields, the flowers and the birds. Tho
great study OF nature is so big that we
can never hope TO learn il all, but we
may learn something about few OF
these things. The Poet Ludlow writes
Of little girl who was asked about her
School, ana she answered;
" My school roof Is the dappled sky
And the bells that ring for me there
Are all the voices OF morning,
Ahoat in the dewy air.

And the book whereout spell
Is 'dog-eared' by the brooks and glens
