Tho Silent March.
When the march begins in the morning
And the heart and foot are light,
When the flags are all a-fiutter
And the world is gay and bright,
When the bugles lead the column,
And the drums are proud in the van,
It's shoulder to shoulder, forward
marchi
Ali let him lag who can.
For it's easy to march to music
With your comrades all in line,
And you don't get tired, you feel in
spired,
And life is a draught divine.
When the march drags on at evening,
And the color-bearer's gone,
When the merry strains are silent
That piped so brave in the dawn,
When you miss the dear old fellows
Who started out with you,
When it's stubborn and sturdy, for
ward march,
Though the ragged lines are few.
Then it's hard to march in silence,
And the road has lonesome grown,
And life is bitter cup to drink,
But the soldier must not mourn.
And this is the task before us,
A task we may never shirk,
In the gay time and the sorrowful
time
We must march and do our work.
We must march when the music cheers
us,
March when the strains are dumb,
Plucky and valiant, forward, march!
And smile, whatever may come.
For, whether life's hard or easy,
The strong man keeps his pace,
For the desolate march and the SILENT
The strong soul finds the grace.

story of his experiences during the
troublous times of the early eos: II

Mills The bullet entered my chest
and shattered my shoulder bone and I
fell unconscious When my senses re-
turned found that a Confederate. also
wounded, had fallen across me. for
the battle had been a hand-to-hand af-
fair. The man was family Whispering

was filed with cold coffee-and handed
1t to him. He took long drink and
handed the canteen back to me- sYank,'
he said, thank you And then he add

Not long ago. continued Gen. Agnus.
Il was in the Carroilton hotel in Bal
timore, whe ma party of ex-Confeder-
ates.who were giving dinner, captured
me and took me as prisoner into the
banquet room They called on me for
a speech and / told them the story of
the man with whom had shared my
canteen when we were both wounded
on the battlefield, expressing my ad-
miration of the spirit which thanked
me and damned me in the same breath.
The next day fine looking gentleman
called upon me at my Office He had
heard my story, he said, and had come
to tell me that he was the wounded
soldier. From that day to this We
have been the best of friends"

the carpets into strips with their pen
