Writing the Date 5

I There are two ways of writing the
date in abbreviated form, viz, $4,000.
and 10000. It is impossible to, say
that one form is correct and the other
wrong, for both are in common use,
The latter. is the one more commonly
used in Great Britain, while the form
er is perhaps more distinctively AM
serican. To our mind the latter is to
be preferred as it gives the day of the
month";. the month of the year and the
year in consecutive order, which seems
more natural R than to give first the
month, and then the day OF the month.
Tt is, however, largely q matter Of
taste, and, as we have said, both forms
are correct. us, 4 a 81 s5 81 32s, #z

of Worcester was asked to furnish % men.
and Dclcvan Bates w;:S selected as re-
cruiti1g officer.
The desired number was quickly found.
and Aug. Is they were enrolled in the 121St

The 121St y. Y. was assigned to the
Second Brigade. First Division. Sixth
Corps. and with Emory Upton in command

regiments of the grand old Army of the
Potomac.
Lieut.. Bates was an apt pupil. and in
such a school. and with such Il teacher.
he could not do otherwise than become an
intelligent and fearless soldier.
Such battles as South Mountain. An

and Gettysburg, added TO the daily duties
