They had not heard our approach, amid
the noise and confusion of their own
work. They had no picket out in our
direction, for it was their rear. In an
instant number of troopers rushed
for their horses and came gallOping
down upon us. They were but two
or three hundred vars away.

lever; the engine began to move, but
how slowly! The troopers were COM

When we were we'll out of harms

THE PEE-WEES.


All day they twittered. all day they sang.
AS out and in they flew.
With a fallen leaf or bit of moss,
And straw and a twig or two,
They deity fashioned their coy nest,
Shaping it bit by bit,
And as they worked they twittered and
sang:
''Pee-wee! pee-wee-pee-wit.'
They built just under rocky ledge,
Secure from rain or dew;
Where a summer brook went babbling by,
AS summer brooks will do
They gathered the velvety woodland moss,
And lined their nests with it,
And still they twittered and gaiiy sang:
'Pee-wee, pee-wee-pee-witi"
At last the cozy nest was done,
And filled with a little brood;
And the old birds worked from morn till
night,
To bring the young ones food,
But at last the nest had grown too small.
Or the birds too large for it;
For away they f1uttered and gayly sang:
"Pee-wee! pee-wee-pee-wit!''
But every year the pee-weeS come,
And line their nest anew:
And freshen it up with a bit of moss,
And twig and straw or two,
And every year they raise their brood,
And watch the young birds fit.
And still they twitter and gayly sing:
"Pee-wee! pee-wee-pee-wit"'

disturbed at what they saw in front
as what they saw all about them. They
stood in the midst of a cluster of dead
bodies of men shot in the battle of the
day before. The logs which they had
