hiNhus COmldQe, counsellor aud "a
SDriitan brotaer, as Wei Is a commander
ils desire was To- s6ore every privstion
with his men, ana he never dirocted them
INTO danger where ne would not lead
them.
No wonder his ne ,sence was an inspira-
ton to their courage! The forty centuries
which looked down from the pyramids OF
Eeypt was no greater incentive to Napo-
Icons guard invincible than was the
ever watchful presence OF Lee 10 that brave
army of the Wilderness.
"kemember Lee" was the battle osy
which cheored them to the onslaught.
II was great priyation TO the old COM
mander that he could not now charge at
tie head OF his troops as he mad done
in the battles with Mexico. Three separate
times he attempted ii, and WAS each Tina
prevented by the characterization of his
men.
AS he galloped to their iron. with TIE
command to charge the advance bat
TALON halted and the cry Ian from man 10
l1an, from rank TO rank, until the whole
army took up the shout, General Lee 10
4 the rear,"
\ Chat Is no unpleasant picture. TO see a
commanders orders dehed TO see mon
burst from their ranks TO catch hridle
rein and turn tleir old leader back TO
I safety. II is indeed a grand picture OF de-
yutiun and bravery, but grander stia, 1t IL
ali illustration OF the nobility OF selt-sur-
reI0er TO an authority higher thdn any
conferred by rank or oftce-ths authority
OF love.
