The High Tide nt Gettysburg.

A cloud possessed the hollow field.
The gathering battles smoky shield;
Athwart the gloom the lightning fash
ed,
And through tho cloud some horsemen
dashed,
And from the nights the thunder
pealed.
Then Mt the brief command of Lee
Moved out the matchless infantry.
With Pickett leading grandly down
To rush against the roaring crown
or those dread nights of destiny.
Far-heard above the angry guns
A cry across the tumut runs
The voice that rang through Shiloh's
woods
And Chickamauga' solitudes,
The fierce South cheering on her sons!
All, how the whitening tempest blew
Against the front of Pettigrcw!
A kamsin wind that scorched and singed
Like that Internal fame that fringed
The British squares at Waterloo.
A thousand fell where Kempcr led;
A thousand died where Garnett bled;
In binding flame and strangling smoke
The remnant through the batteries broke
And crossed the works with Armistead.
"Oncc more in Glory's van with me-"
Virginia cried to Tennessee,
1--WE two together, come what may
Shall stand upon these works to-day
The reddest day in history"
Brave Tennessee! In reckless way,
Virginia heard her comrade say,
"Close round this rent and riddled rag"'
What time she set her battle-fag
Amid the guns Of Doubleday.
But who shall break the guards that
wait
Before the awful face of Fate?
| The tattered standards of the South
| Were shriveled at the cannon's mouth.
And all her hopes were desolate.
In vain the Tennesseean set
His bravest gainst the bayonet!
In vain Virginia charged and ragged,
A tigress in her wrath uncaged;
And all the hill was red and wet!
| Above the bayonets mixed and crossed
| Men saw gray, gigantic ghost
| Eecedng through the battle-cloud.
And heard across the tempest loud
| The death cry Of nation lost!
The brave went down. Without dis
! grace
They leaped to Ruins red embrace.
They only heard Fames thunders wake
And saw the dazzling sunburst break
In smiles on Glory's bloody face!
They fell, who lifted up hand
And bade the sun in heaven to stand
They smote and fell, who set the bars
Against the progress Of the stars,
And stayed the march of Motherland
They stood, who saw the future com
On through the fights delirium!
They ilmote and stood, who held the hop
OF nations on that slippery slope,
Amid the cheers of Christendom.
God lives! He forged the iron will
That clutched and held that trembling
God lives and reigns! He built an
| lent
The nights for Freedoms battlement,
Where floats her flag in triumph still
Fold up the banners! Smelt the guns
Love rules; her gentle purpose runs
The mighty Mother turns in tears,
The pages of her battle years,
Lamenting all her fallen sons!

where He Made HIS Money.

Years ago Il gentleman settled in the
south of England and became very
popular in the neighborhood. The coun-
ty families could never discover how
he had made his money. but were sat
isfied by his solemn assurance that it
was not in trade. Nothing could ex-
coed the ordinary gravity of his de
meanor, which, indeed, caused him to
be placed on the commission of peace,
but now and then, without any appar-
ent provocation, he would burst into
such laugh as no one ever heard be-
fore except in one place.
Where they could have heard it puz-

OUR INAUGURAL OATH.
II Ia the Shortest and Simplest TAX.

1t Ia the Shortest and Simplest TAX
en- by Any Ruler.
The oath of office taken by the in
coming president of the United States
is the shortest and the simplest re-
quired Of any ruler on earth. 1t is pre-
scribed by the constitution and is as
follows:
II do solemnly swear Tor affirm that
/ will faithfully execute the office Of
president Of the United States, and, to
the best of my ability, protect, preserve
and defend the constitution of the Unit
ed States"
This oath is slowly repeated by the
president elect after the chief justice
Of the supreme court, In the presence of
the public upon a platform erected in
front of the main door on the eastern
side of the capitol. While the oath Is
being repeated the president elect and
the chief justice face each other and
hold with their right hands between
them Bible furnished by some person
interested or especially procured for
the occasion, which becomes the prop
erty of the president after 1t has been
appropriately inscribed and sealed by
the chief clerk of the supreme court.
At the close of the oath the president
elect bows his head and kisses the open
page of the book, and it has been Gus
tomary for him or for his wife or a
friend to select some appropriate pas
sage at which the book shall be opened
and the verse upon which he shall press
his lips Sometimes, when those inter
ested forget or neglect to choose a pas
sage, the Bible Is opened at random,
but the clerk of the supreme court is
always careful to note and mark the
exact place where the lips touched the

girl, conscious only of the word which
had slipped inadvertently from his lips,
caught her breath in the sudden shock
of a great revelation. Ransome loved
her-RanSomei
All at once she comprehended why
it was that she had hesitated to an
nounce her engagement until Ransome
should learn Of it, why 1t was that she
had Judged Won Witzleben from Ran
some's standpoint rather than her own,
appreciated that it had been the fact
of his intimacy with Ransome which
had been his chief attraction and how
near she had been to never knowing.
Now at last, in this supreme moment,
she grasped the truth; knew that even
as Ransome loved her, so she loved
him. And whether death or life lay
before them, with that knowledge in
her heart, that touch on her hand, she
was content.
And then with one strong, mighty
pull from above the horses trembled
down to quiet
For a day or so the Berlin papers
were rather sharp In their criticism of
the girl who had rendered herself so
conspicuous. No equally well born Ger
man girl would ever have done such a
thing, they declared. But Miss Free
man, utterly glad in her new found
happiness, only smiled in undisturbed
thankfulness.

Horse. IN tne rime Of uomer

The horses used in Homer's time
were war horses. The warriors were
drawn In chariots. The art of riding
was known, but it is alluded to as
something unusual. Ulysses at the
time of his shipwreck "bestrode a
plank, like horseman on big steed."
There are reasons for believing that
the practice of riding was much later
than that of driving, and the myth of
the centaur, where, according to Shake
speare, imam is incorpsed and demina-

mated at an early period when the ap-
