Bright deeds illume each wrinkfed
face
The "boys" are marching down the
street,!
Hats off! THAT tattered flag you see
With rents in every treasured fold
Wakes oft to mem'ry's reveiIIe
And never, aye, is never old.
The stars that stud it's field of blue
A thousand stories can repeat,
Which, told again, are ever new
The "boys" are marching down the

Hats off, hats off! The gray and

Are row no longer lame and gray,
But feel once more youths sturdy

And breathe the fires Of yesterday.
In bays recIad, to pride reborn,
pefying dust and miles and heat,
Mid cheers and tears this splendid

The story of the disaster to Sickles'
corps at Gettysburg is we'll known to
all who are familiar with that battle.
General Hancock spared what troops
he could from Cemetery Ridge to sup

dressed in Confederate gray clambered from
the launches over the ships sides, armed to the
teeth with pistols and cutlasses. 1t took but ten
minutes to decide the battle on deck. The gun

facts put imagination to blush. This was the
case at Stone River when Breckinridge's Ken
tuckians, headed by the famous fighting brigade
known as 'the Orphans" charged upon a brace
of Federal batteries on the south bank of the
river. The Kentuckians rushed through the bat
teries bayonet in hand and chased the artllerists
with their infantry supports down the slope to
the fords which served to connect the captured
batteries with the main position of their army on
the north bank. Opposite the scene of the
charge, on the north bank lay a reserve artillery
brigade of ffty-eight guns. The instant the
retreating soldiers got inside the range of those
ready cannons the entire brigade opened upon
the pursuing "Orphans,' firing 100 shots a min

the shells were swept away and the Kentuckians
nearly annihilated. Fully one-half of the Off

The Confederates began the fight with fifty four

men cut down beside them. The commandment
of Fort Henry humanely ordered the colors
down in token of surrender, but the flagstaff had
been shot through and the halyards fouled at the
