Into Gods Beautiful
World Of Nature .
%||.*
BY A STAFF MEMBER.

A writer in the current number
of a London magazine upon Worry
and How to Cure It, gives among
his prescriptions the following.
"Put yourself in touch with broader
and bigger ideas of life and of LIES
meaning"
TRY to understand something of
underlying principles OF things"
go as often as you can into God s
beautiful world of nature"
"Quietly wait upon God. So shall
you find yourself at the hidden spring
Of all peace and strength and in sim
pie trustfulness shall experience the
glad realization Of the poet tt at
Gods greatness
Flows around our incompleteness,
Round our restlessness His rest. "
A word of meaning lies in these
sentences. The first is only an
other way of urging the looking
away from self and environment out
into the world of Thought and action
to find what the noblest and best
of its leaders are thinking and do
ing. Nothing will better enable
one to see the petty value Of much
that is accounted important and
even necessary.
The effort to ''understand the
underlying principles Of things"
will give the mind SO much food
for thought in the wonders thus
disclosed that no time for worry
will remain. All around US in
common, every day familiar OBJ
jects are laws Of growth and action
of which we have no understand
ing because we have made no use
of our powers Of thought and oh
servation. Employing them, and
a whole world of whose existence
we have not dreamed, opens wide
its doors. Entering therein, and
worry viii be left without for lack
of room.
This prescription is closely re-
lated to the one which follows
ego as often as you can into Gods
beautiful world Of nature" Such
gong includes something more
than an occasional seeking OF the
pleasant places of the earth where
are green trees, tlower-spangled
fields, velvety turfs, and the glory
of mountains and valleys, sea and
sky. Careless eyes roam over such
variety and beauty day after day,
utterly unseeiug, because the
thought is turned exclusively into
the narrow channel of self. Worry
may control the mind there, as alb
solutely as elsewhere amid home
lier surroundings, unless some per
ception Of the higher meaning of
this beauty enters the soul of the
hoholdnr Loadinn him to consider

ever delayed by fear and anxiety.
We know that, and yet we go on
straining our eyes at shadows that
may never have substance, unless
we give it to them by our persistent
recognition.
Let us always be of good cheer.
Face the future with smiling face
even though the heart is aching,
and by and by the pain will pass
away. Look for the good, and the
good will come to you, if not what
you desire, yet in some form to
bring gladness. Do not live in
the future. The present is all that
is yours; It's duties of the greatest
Importance. Well done, and the
foundation of happy tomorrow
is builded.
And then, "quietly wait on Cod
These are not words to put care
lessly aside as not belonging to
busy, stirring life. The "waiting,"
which is trusting. should enter INTO
everything we do, and there will
then be no worry possible, since
what gives it birth will pass away.
"For so shall you find yourself at
the hidden spring Of all peace and
strength, and in simple trustful
ness shall experience the glad re-
alization of the poet that

ter. Here the 1st regiment (Greggs)
and Orr's Rifles were attached to the
brigade and This formation continued
unbroken to the end Of the war. The
brigade remained here till the battle
of Seven Pines, when it was marched
to Richmond. but reached the battle
field too late to be Of assistance. They
went into camp on the Chickahominy,
some seven miles east of Richmond,
and adjacent to the Nine-mile road.
From here they entered the Seven
Days battles, beginning with Mechan-
icsville, on the 26th of June, and taking
an active part in the bloody battles Of
Gainess Mill, Cold Harbor, Savage
Station, Frazier's Farm and support
ing the attacking column at Malvern
Hill, July 1.
Company B, of the 18th regiment, did
some skirmishing from Mechanicsville
to Gaines's Mill. The second platoon,
under Lieut.. Dunlop, was thrown
across the left flank Of the skirmish
line to protect it, and attacked and
routed one hundred Pennsylvania
Bucktails, capturing seventeen. This
to the raw soldiers was splendid
achievement. The brigade supported
Jackson's attack upon Pope at Cedar
Mountain, August 9, and was there
permanently attached to his corps.
Lieut.. Dunlop was wounded august
29th) in the heavy fighting in the Sec
ond Manassas, where the brigade per-
formed prodigies Of valor, and did not
rejoin his regiment till October.
September II, he was promoted to
the captaincy of his company and took
part in the battles of Fredericksburg
and Charlottesville. After this last
battle the 18th regiment was sent to
convey several thousand Federal pris-
oners to Libby prison at Richmond.
At Gettysburg, Col. Abner Perrin, Of
the 14th regiment, commanded the
brigade, and broke the Federal lines
on Seminary Ridge, July l, with three
regiments, without assistance from the
other brigades of the division. The
18th regiment was on the right Of the
assaulting column when the ridge was
taken. The Federals held the stone
fence Immediately to the right Of the
18th regiment and turned their fire
into it's naked flank with fatal effect.
Captain Dunlop realizing the import
ance and peril of the movement, and
being the ranking officer on the right.
wheeled the 1st division Of the regi-
ment-Companies B and K-to the
right and across the end of the Fed
eral line and slew them by the scores
and hundreds till they broke and fled
the field. This was a clever piece Of
work and must have turned the tide
of battle. The brigade (McGowan's)
carried $500 men into the action and
within 30 minutes 500 of these were on
the ground dead and wounded.
The next day the brigade command
er ordered Capt. Dunlop to take COM
panies B and K. reinforce the sharp
shooters under Capt. William c. Has

ers from the lane in the valley below,

gallant Haskell lost his life at Gettys-

Major Dunlop has written a 500-page
book, Lees Sharpshooters: or the
Forefront of Battle" which recounts
in minute detail the heroic deeds Of
the picked and trained and well-nigh
invincible body of men whom he had
the honor to lead and who, having the
most implicit confidence in his skill
and courage, followed where he led
with a sublime heroism, the story of
which almost beggars belief and makes
one rejoice that these were his coun-
trymen. w. A. DICKSON.

Points an to the Defunct.

Many Maine people who live in
certain part of Cumberland county
will we'll remember one "Abner"-so
he was always called in his town.
Abner was commonly selected to
take charge of funerals, because he
was about the only man in town who
had time hanging on his hands. A cit
izen died, a man who never amounted
to much, who was never positively
wicked, because that would have re-
uuired more of an effort than he was
willing to make. He was, however,
far enough from being Good citizen,
and Abner knew it as we'll as anybody
else.
Abner was requested to ask certain
minister to conduct the services, and
he hitched up his old horse and drove
to his house. The minister said he
would attend, and then tried to get
little information concerning the late
lamented.
What sort of a man was he?" he
asked.
well, about the same as no sort of
a man at ALL" responded Abner frank
ly.
IT suppose his loss will be deeply felt
in the community" said the minister.
They're all bearing up we'll under
it." said Abner slowly.
WAS he a Christian?" asked the
minister.
IF he'd been accused Of it, the ver-
dict would have been not guilty, and
the jury wouldn't have left their
seats" replied Abner cheerfully.
Did he attend church," asked the
minister a bit anxiously.
II never heard of his doing it," said
Abner.
How did he die?" continued the
minister.
Just the same as he lived-sort of
naturally" said Abner.
II don't see now I'm to preach much
Of a sermon under such circum-
stances" said the minister.
1.-The neighbors all said they didn't
think they wanted much Of sermon,
and so they sent me over to see you,"
said Abner.
The minister pocketed his wrath and
a IS bill, and after the funeral the
satisfied Abner said, "Well, we got just
what we wanted, 'gosh!'-Lewiston,

WHEN He WOULD SUPERIOR a
wet night recently there was a jam
Of passengers on a southgoing tram
car. A number were standing on the
rear platform, among them one whose
dogs collar and soft felt hat proclaim
ed him a parson. An Irishman with
a short clay pipe climbed on, and he
was hardly on board when the clergy

TOUCHED THE WRONG MANA
worthy man. who was very sensitive
and retiring having lost his wife. prl-
vately requested that he might be re-
nlembered in the minister's morning
prayer from the pulpit. but asked that
his name might not be mentioned.
On Sunday the good minister
prayed most eloquently for "our aged
brother. upon whom the heavy hand Of
sore afiliction has so lately fallen"
At this point an elderly man, whom
the minister had married to a very
young wife during the week, rose with
a bounce and stamped down the aisle.
muttering loud enough to be heard all
over the chapel:
1T may be an affliction, but I'm
blessed if I want to be prayed for in
that fashion"

WESTERN ETIoUETTE.- j.
L. Rodey, of New Mexico, whose fund
of good stories is eXhaustless, related
this incident in the cloak room yester-
day:
II was travelling through the west a
couple of years ago." he said, when
our train stopped at an eating place
for dinner. The woman who kept the
place was evidently an easterner, and
was quite anxious to spread around
her the cultured habits of her section.
"'Will you please give me a knife
for my pie,' said one of the men eating
dinner.
1--WE don't eat pie with a knife
here replied the woman. quite Sc
verely.
Then, madam remarked the cow
boy, quite unabashed, will you please
get me an axe?'"
