CRISIS.

In days Of idle peace when time glides by
As still as swallows wings In sunny sky,
Then all men seem alike and fool and wise
Unsifted pass beneath their bright disguise.
But when great deeds are stirring such as claim
Strong souls that gladly choose Of death or fame
And high endeavor, self denial stern,
Unfinching purpose, hearts that holly burn
For truth and honor, counting not the cost.
But counting life itself thus spent we'll lost.
Then the true man Is clearly manifest
And evil looks Its worst and good It's best,
And shams and poor pretence untimely die,
withercd meath the rays Of pure reality;
SO will unfalt'rins feet the higher climb,

Tuesday morning the balloon was cut
loose. travelling westward over the bat
tlefield. where IL was discovered that
none of the enemy's troops were NOV

were getting breakfast. Only a few

The balloon was used in the Will

1T may be of interest to relate an
incident which illustrates the pinched
condition of the cOnfederacy. even as
early as 1862. The federals had been
using balloons in examining our posi-
tions, and we watched with envious
ewes their beautiful observations as
they fioated high up in the air, well out
of range Of our guns. While we were
longing for the balloons hat power
ty denied us, n genius arose for the oc-
casion and suggested that we send out
and gather all the silk dresses in the
c~orfederacy and make a balloon. 1t
was done. n soon we had a great
patchwork ship of many and various
hueS, which was ready for use in the
seven days campaign. We had no gas

custom to initiate the balloon there. tie
