When the Regiment Passed.

There was din in the street, there
was rushing of feet, at the hum and the
thrum of far-away drum, every eye
In the town watched a. road winding
down by meadows of ripening, yellow
Ing wheat, every being was filled with
the beat that had thrilled and whirred
as 1t stirred like the wings of a bird
through the sunny air clear, growing
near and more near, till all other
sound in creation was stilled! Then
swift came the gleam of a mountain
side stream, which quivered and grew
like the stars, like the dew, like the
suns darting glance where little waves
dance, like glittering river that
wound from dream. Oh, it broad
ened and spread till a vibrating tread
in unison beat through the dust to our
feet! Oh, it drew every hue, from the
heavens calm blue, to the poppies' red
blood through the wheat field shed!
Then plume floated white, and they
broke on our sight with a bugle note
clear, they drew near, and a cheer
burst from us; then dumb at the roll
of the drum as they reached US and
lOuCAcQ us, anu Will uSllRnL We
drew near, we pressed nigh, our hearts
throbbing high (Oh, the tumult of Joy
in the heart of boyD, women crowded
about, and flag floated out, and we
uttered a shout that rang up to the
sky! CAY, it rings for me yet! Can
I ever forget that thrill and that Joy in
the heart of a boy0 Then, a bare
headed throng, we marched proudly
along, knowing naught of farewells or
Of eyes that were wet, hearing only the
beat of the drum and the feet treading
onward to war, growing faint, growing
far, seeing only the track, dust en-
clouded, whence back looked never a
man to that village street, How we
fingered around, listening low for a
sound, till the thrum of the drum was
a clover bees hum! How we marched
a retreat through the still village
street and followed the footprints which
covered the ground. And when weary
at last, how we happily cast ourselves
down in the wheat, talking not of de-
feat, needing not the wild red where
crushed poppies were shed. or the thun-
der and dread closing round. closing

Grant and Meade.

Gen. Horace Porter, in his Cam
paigning with Grant," in the February
Century, after speaking of Gen. Meade's
somewhat anomalous position, quotes
zen. Grant as follows: 81 am fully
aware that some embarrassments arise
from the present organization, but
tnere is more weight on the other side
OF the question. 1 am commanding all
the armies, and 1 can not neglect 9TH
ers by giving my time exclusively to
the army of the Potomac, which would
involve performing all the detailed du-
Ties OF an army commander, directing
lts administration, enforcing discipline,
reviewing its court martial proceed
lngs, etc. / have Burnside's, Buffers,
and S1gePs armies to look after in Vir-
slnla, to say nothing of our western
armies, and l may make Sheridan's
cavalry a separate command. Be-
sides, Meade has served a long time
with the army of the Potomac, knows
lts subordinate officers thoroughly, and
LED 1t to memorable victory at Gettys-
Durg. l have just come from the west,
ana II l removed a deserving eastern
man from the position of army COM
mander, my motives might be misun-
derstood and the effect be bad upon the
spirits OF the troops. Gen. Meade and
are in close contact on the field; he is
capable and perfectly subordinate, and
Dy attending to- the details he relieves
me Oh much unnecessary work, and
gives more time to think and mature
ture my general plans. 1 will always
see that he gets full credit for what he
does" This was a broad view of the
situation, and one to which the general
mainly adhered throughout the war,
out after that day he gave a closer
personal direction in battle to the
movements of subdivisions of the ar
mics.

Faithful to His CAPTAIN.

That was loyal If not very gentle
answer once made by private soldier
to Frederick the Great of Prussia. as
the story is told in Harper's Round

his camp in disguise at night. to come
into closer relations with his soldiers.
One night he was stopped by a sentry.

so, however, he endeavored to temnt

on. The chief had turned round twice
TO look after the officer who had
splashed the mud and who had passed
rapidly on, as II he wished to take him

was a painfully sad look upon the gen.
erals face, and he did not speak for
some time. While always keenly SEN
sitive to the sufferings of the wounded,
this pitiful sight seemed to affect him
more than usual.

In the February Century Gen. Horace
Porter relates the following story in his
campaigning with Grant" The Incl

had ridden over to the right to watch
the progress of this attack. While he
was passing spot near the roadside
where there were a number Of wound
ed, one of them, who was lying close to
the roadside, seemed to attract his
special notice. The mans face was
beardless; he was evidently young; his
countenance was strikingly handsome.
and there was something in his appeal
ing look which could not fail to engage
attention, even in the full tide of hat
tie. The blood was flowing from a
wound in his breast. the froth about his
mouth was tinged with red, and his
wandering, staring eyes gave unmis-
taxable evidence of approaching death
Just then young staff officer dashed
by at full gallop, and as his horses hoofs
struck puddle in the road, a mass of
black mud was splashed in the wound
ed mans face. He gave piteous look.

die in peace and not add to my suffer-
ings?" The general, whose eyes were
