ance Of the day To which we invited our

various duties in order to be with Us. At

whose words awakened unusual enthu-
siasm. Several essays. "Arbores, /" Histo-
rical' and Curious Trees" werer read and
testified that not a little OF research was
wanting 10 make them interesting to all.
The chorus, " Woodman Spare That
Tree" was followed by few happy re
marks from Rev. C. s. Lancaster, s. T..
whose presence we are always glad TO
welcome. He compared usto trees which
are being planted in good soil and care
fully cultivated by the good Sisters. He
hoped the branches would extend far and
wide and bear fruit hundred fold.
The members OF the class Of '04 had the
privilege Of planting tree TO which they
gave the name of some loved one whose
name they wished TO be oft remembered
at their Alma Mater. afr. b. II. Cana

Where Courtesy Paid.

James Blake. "a years old, colored
bootblack who plies his brush along
Light street, was committed for court by
Justice Robertson, Of the Southern dis
trict, 18th instant, charged with robbing
James Thomas, colored, of St Mary's
county, on the day previous. Thomas
is wondering at city ways" for he, too,
is in jail, having been remanded az "a wit
ness against Blake.
Thomas. together with his uncle. Geo.
Thomas, arrived in Baltimore from st.
Mary's county Tuesday morning. Both
are colored farmers from st. Mary's and
both had lot of tobacco to sell. They
were successful in disposing of it, and aft
er making some purchases returned to
Light street wharf to take the steamer
for home. James Thomas had $4S in his
inner pocket.
They had just turned into Light street,
they testified, when Blake came up to
them, whiskbroom in hand. Very po-
litely he inquired il they were in need of a
shine. They taid they were not, where
upon Blake very cOurteOusly offered to
brush their clothes, the dust of the burnt
district having settled thick upon them.
The ''shine artist" brushed Thomas
coat inside and out, and, it is alleged,
skillfully extracted his pocketbook. A
few minutes afterward Thomas discov-
cred his loss, and, inquiring his way to
the nearest 'watchhouse," reported it to
Lieutenant Collins. A little while later
Detective Thomas Berney arrested Blake
ON description. When searched at the
station 30 cents was found ON him.-Sun.

ruined health aud worn out, ekeing
out an existence.
They went off in excitement? True.
But not all. l remember hearing
neighbor in prosperous business talk-
ing with my father and considering
whether, when his country was in
peril, it was his duty to leave wife and
children and ELI to go. l heard his
decision to join the army, and he
I hardly reached the front when he was
shot dead.
! Let us see just what we did face by
looking at the Union side alone.
There were 2,70O,00O enlistments,
and, allowing for -enlistments, it is
estimated that 1000, 900 different men
were engaged. There is not a man in
this audience who can conceive what
this means. There were 400, 600 losses
by death. You can imagine how long
1t would take for an army Of 400, 900
to march past this door? Did any
body in my town, Lee. think of such
vast numbers when the war started?
Besides these 10000 died in prison.
These figures may astound you, but
even more would the experience within
the prisons. A woman in Petersburg
asked New Hampshire officer, "My
brother was in the 9Th Massachusetts,,
and died in Andersonville, can you
tell me anything about his life there?
! No, madam, | cannot. The expe-
riences there were such that I can
never describe them to wife, sister or
mother" There were 1900 general
engagements-a battle day for four
years, and 500 over. In 112 engage
ments our loss was 500 or more each of
killed and wounded, and IL with loss
Of over 10000 each.
You will remember about the 1st,
or the bloody 9th or 9th Massachu-
sets, but perhaps you never heard of
the 57th. 1t left the State 1000
strong on April Is, 1864, and went to
the swamps and bayous of Louisiana.
On September 80, after five months in
the field, it had lost pol killed and
515 wounded-7.6 in all-and mus
tered only so in. line. During the re-
bellion there were 2,400 actions of
sufficient Importance to be identified
by name, two for every day Of the
four years. In $50 our losses exceed
ed so. On the national side the e.
OOO, 900 men engaged lost more of their
number killed in battle than England
has lost in fighting in the 1000 years
she has been nation. One in every
10 Of our armies was killed in battle;
one in six died of disease nearly one
in FIVE was wounded, and one in every
ten was so badly wounded that he had
to be discharged before his term ex-
pired.
When men talk of the halo, the
glory, the pomp and victory Of war,
see that the coming generations are
reminded of the home. the sorrow. the
suffering which war entails, and teach
them to love and reverence peace.

NhafieH bartleit, OF Boston, Before New

War is war; sometimes for the
most trivial causes, but always bloody,
brutal, savage. They may tell about
this and that officer being out.gener-
aicd, and what might have happened,
but when they have done, what d } you
kno" about the men, how they suffer
ed, the families disrupted and in sor-
row, the discomforts and the priva-
tions in the home and in the field

OF the war and what men think about
it now.
think that no country was ever in
SO poor condition to undertake such
great war as was ours in 1861. I
nave been surprised at the ignorance
OF New Hampshire men as to what
they had to meet. Politicians, pseudo
warriors and self claimed heroes went
about trying to make men believe that
1t was the easiest thing in the world
to go down and clean those Southern
fellows out. On the other side the
same conditions existed. Yancev
and other wind TANNERS were going
around proclaiming that the people of
the North were nothing but F." mud
sllls, who would be swept away by
the first fash Of the mounted gentle
men OF the black horse cavalry.
at the first call New Hampsbire
sent one regiment, That call was for
.o,oo0 men, showing singularly enough
from the presene standpoint how even
the leaders OF the North looked then
upon the issue which grew to such
fearful proportions. In the second
call, for 300, 900, New Hampshire sent
the second regiment. l knew some of
the boys and some officers, and they
were lamenting that they didn't get
into the first, so as to get to Washing
ton and see that city before the war
was over. When we think of those
days and what followed, we ought to
profit by them, and not initiate those
who 60 around as if they had chips on
their shoulders, ready to get into trou
BILE with somebody.
| There were many who, after they
had seen what fighting was, we're not
anxious to go back. They had been
surprised at what they had ''rup up
against. l look back to the time
when the Sd, 9th, 11th, and particular
ly the 18th, went away, and when you
think OF the boys in them whom you
went to school with, or were your com
panions or ncighbors, it all seems like
a dream.
L remember one of my playmates
who went: He won no halo, no glory,
no fame, but sickness took him, and
his father went to the trout to get him
and brought him home dead. Auoth-
