the day when with Jameson, fierce
Berry. and Birney,
Against twenty thousand he rallied the
field.
Where the red volleys poured, where the
ClamOr rose highest,
Where the dead lay in clumpS through
the dwarf oak and pine.
Where the aim from the thicket was
surest and highest
No charge like Phil kearney's along
the whole line.
When the battle went Ill. and the brav-
est were solemn,
Near the dark Seven Pines. where We
still held our ground.
He rode down the length Of the wither-
ing column,
And his heart at our war-cry leapt up
at a bound.
He snuffed. like his charger, the wind Of
the powder
His sword waved US on, and we an
swered the sign;
Lour our cheer as we rushed, but his
laugh rang the louder:
There's the DEVILS own fun. boys,
along the Wnole nne!'
How he strobe his brown steed! How he
saw his blade brighten
In the one hand still left-and the reins
in his teeth!
He laughed like a boy when the holidays
highten,
But a soldiers glance shot from his
visor beneath.
Up came the reserves to the mellay in

Asking where to go in-through the
clearing or pine?

Foul, foul sped the bullet hat clipped the

The flower of our knighthood, the whole

Yet We dream that he still-in that

Where the dead form their ranks at the

And the word still is Forward! along

THE MEMORY OF FISH,
Sometimes Keeps Them from Biting .
Second Tune.

Sometimes Keeps Them from Biting .
Second Time.
Fisherman believe that q fish al
most caught a first time does not easily
let itself be caught a second time, that
he remembers the pain he suffered, and
that he even lets his companions know
his cruel experience. This is easily
accounted for by their memory and
M. Semon gives an incident charac-
t~eristic Of the subject which shows
that certain fish have their memory
seconded by a particular gift of OBJ
servation. He had seen around a ship
in which he was sailing a number of
those curious fish called echineis re.
mora, one Of the peculiarities of which
is that on the top of the head they
have a kind of hook, which permits
them to attach themselves to a vessel
or to the belly Of fish larger than
themselves. M. Semon wished to pro-
cure some specimens and threw into
the water a hook baited with a piece
OF crab. A first remora was soon
taken, but the others, having evidently
e the capture, allowed the line to
be thrown into the water many times
without even touching it. They re-
NAMED attached to the vessel, regard
ing with an Indifferent eye the most
succulent bits that could be offered
them. M. Semon renewed the expert
ment, and IL no case could he capture
two remoras belonging to the same
band. These fish have evidently pow
ers OF observation and a well-developed
memory.

she lacked the least comprehension OF
the situation.
But William understood 1t better.
He saw the Confederate uniform, and
with 1t the danger menacing him, and
slowly thrusting his hand into the
breast-pocket Of his coat, where he
carried his pistol, he replied with cold
formality:-
Il shall be at your service, sir, as
soon as my conversation with Miss
Harrison is over. We have some I'M
portant matters to discuss, so I
beg"
Glance and tone plainly requested
the captain to retire. But instead Of
doing SO. he advanced close to the
young officer, saying in a low tone:
II wish to spare the lady, and hope
you will aid me-Lieutenant William

William started. He perceived that
he was betrayed, and did not doubt a
moment the author of the treachery.
To deny his identity was impossible.

OFF ON HIS DIAGNOSIS.
The Physicians Mistake in sizing up
His Patient.

Into the office of a doctor came a

physician put on his eyeglasses, looked
1t the mans tongue, felt his pulse
sounded his chest, and said: same

Then, with this last thought, a burn
ing sense of shame filled the young Of
ficer's soul. The face Of his old COM
mande suddenly rose wildly before
him. He saw his earnest gaze; heard
the warning words: IF Lieutenant Ro-
land has not returned by eight o'clock
this evening, | shall believe that he is
either dead or dishonored." And at
the same moment William felt that he
could not stand in his presence with a
lie or an evasion on his lips; hat he
must tell him the truth; and with this
thought the struggle was over.
He released himself so hastily, so
abruptly, that the young girl almost
tottered back. His lips quivered, but
the fateful promise.

TRIES TO EAT "WASHlNGT0Ns
Painting in a Lodge Room Damaged

by a Goat.
An oil painting of George Washing
ton, measuring six by eight feet, which
ornamented the assembly room Of
hotel in Long Island City, has been
damaged by a goat, and is believed BY
the owner to be beyond repair.
Recently the owner Of the hotel bt
rowed a large white goat and was fat'

dition for a lodge initiation, at which
it was planned the goat would be an
important feature. 1t was found the
goat had a fondness for stale bread, 30
daily he was allowed to visit the back
of the lunch counter in the barroor1
to eat the ends of loaves thrown there
by the bartender. On Saturday there
was a rush of business. When ts
goat had eaten his fill of bread no OK
paid any attention to him.
The animal wandered into the a.
sembly room, mounted a tagle, anu
resting his forefeet on the top OF ths
wainscoting, proceeded to make a des

The servants, at the captains or

but stood whispering together with
troubled faces. Ralph had betrayed
that the officer under arrest was Miss
Florence's lover. And it had happen

The physician had given the sick man
days, and now, at the utmost, there
were only hours. Yet Edward had
not courage to enter the apartment
where Florence was, and had Ralph
bring him reports, which constantly
grew more alarming.
Then Captain Wilson entered, but
the cordially with which he usually
treated young Harrison had given
place to cold formality; he bowed as
IT he were saluting a stranger.
Il wished to inform you that I am

Edward did not appear to notice the

quietly. as il the point in question

ence:

PITMAN GROVE.

| Charles Justices house is enclosed
Miss Lizzie String is seriously i'll will

Rev. Mr.. Somers, of the NJ P. Confer
ence, is summering here.
c. P. Carly will build double dwelling
on Woodlynne avenue.
John Birch has broken ground on Arbu-
tus avenue for new house
G. W. Carr is putting up two new build
ings for the Grangers picnic.
Henry Hoffman, of Spokane, Washing
ton, and his brother Charles, of Philadel-
phia, were Pitman visitors on Sunday.
The rain Of Saturday evening was the
heaviest Of the year. It fell in torrents and
numerous washouts occurred, as the sewers
were not able to pass it off.
The building Of the fire house is being
delayed on account of lack of stone The
insurance companies will not grant pro-
lection rates until the fire company can
make it their headquarters, and its delay is
an unfortunate affair.
The Blackwood picnic at Alcyon Park
last Thursday drew quite number of
visitors from Pitman who were delighted
with the fine concert given by the Black
wood orchestra.
The Summer Cottagers' Association has
raised over $500 during the past three
years, and visit to the music pavilion at
Summit Park and the Playground will
show how well the money has been ex-
pended.
A petition to make Pitman avenue stone
rood f0 %I,a Jtcko
Broadway to the Hurffville stone road was
presented to the Board of Freeholders at
its last meeting. The petitition was almost
unanimously signed by the property own
ers.
The MacFarland family is well repre-
sented here. Prof. MacFarland, OF Borden
town, is established in his roomy summer
home on the Boulevard, and Randolph
MacFarland, Of Monroeville, and William
MacFarland, the lesse of Green's stock
farm, are also here for the summer.
The fire company will not take an excur-
sion TO Wildwood as expected, as the rail-
road company will not grant the usual
allowance. They will probably hold pic
mic at Alcyon Park some time in August,
aud every effort will be made to make it a
big success.
A larger assembly building than the
present Tabernacle is needed. The congre-
cations on Sunday could barely be accom-
modated, and the seating capacity was not
nearly large enough to comfortably seat the
people who gathered on Monday evening
to hear the humorist, Ralph Bingham.
Former Mullica Hill boys seem to think
Pitman a pleasant summer resort. Oren
Horner and John Mounce-both have their
families pleasantly situated here, and Bert
Mounce, the efficient manager of the cleo
trio light plant, is giving us the best service
we have ever received.
The members of the NJ. P. Church have
taken on renewed activity since Rev. Ward
Ireland has acted as pastor. A young peo-
pies rally was held on Tuesday evening,
