Sure we miss thee here,
But soon will come,
Where thou hast gone before.

Thy warm true heart is still.
And on thy young and innocent brow
Is resting deaths cold chill;
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast
We have kissed thy oveIy brow,
And in our aching hearts we know.
We have no darling now.
Had He asked us we'll we know,
We should say o spare the blow,
Yes, with streaming tears should pray
Lord we love him, let him stay,
In love he lived in peace he died.:
His life was asked but God denied.

mother and one little. brother to

'Stin mine-maternal rights secure
Not given to another,
The crystal bars shine faint betwe eI
The souls of child and mother.
Well done of God to haIve the lot,
And give her all the sweetness,
To us the empty room and cot
To her the heavens completeness
To us the grave; to her the rows.
The mystic Palm trees spring in
Thus the silence of the house
To her the choral singing.
For her to gladden. in Gods view,
For us to bear and hope on,

But perhaps you don't know James Stanley
Gilbert-poor fellow he died only short time ago
For near a quarter of century he had lived at
Colon at one time in the service of the Panama
Railway; latterly in mercantile life; Ofttimes act
ing as consul for England our country. Such
men as these are real builders of the Empire; for
they pave the way for men who may come later
with their red tape and their ignorance of local GUS
toms and their inability win quickly the complete
confidence of simple people.
Let us step aside moment to South Africa, and
note another great Empire builder whose name is
to-day dear to the Beers as that of Gilbert to
the Panamanians In my travels there frequently
missionary DR.. Lindey. 1t he who than
anyone else removed the prejudices which most of
the trek Beers then entertained for everything that
spoke English.
One day Lndley riding along in Natal when
a Boer joined him and became offensive in his
remarks about things English Lindey, the Amer-

can, resented these remarks, and the upshot was
that they dismounted and the Boer received
sound threshing at the hands of the muscular mis-
sionary The wOrsted Boer had met an English
speaking for the first time and the result IN
clned him to generalization favorable TO those Of
our tongue This BOer became his warm friend
and the very next day a fine horse was presented
to Llndley by the enemy of the day before. From
that moment the career of this extraordinary
clergyman was one of triumph through the land Of
the Beers. Paul Kruger himself told me with
grateful emphasis that it this Lindley who first
baptized him; that he was grand among his
fellow Beers.
On the occasion of my visit 70 that country

Only One Man for Defense

TT was afternoon. Lees attack was expected
momentarily, and every man was waiting ntently,
with his eyes fixed upon the open space that sep
arated the two armies. ust at this time by a
fortunate chance, it occurred to General Meade to
order General Warren to ride the field in the
direction of the Round Tops. Warren did so, and
when he came to the foot of Little Round Top he
left his horse and climbed to the summit What
was his surprise to find at this point only one soldier
officer of the signal corps. He no sooner looked
about him than 1t became instantly clear to him
that the top of this hill where there were no trooDs
and which had been abandoned for a signal station
was in reality the key to the whole position His
establishment gave place to CONSERVATION.
With his glass he noted thicklv wooded ridge
beyond the swamp; there he surmised the enemy
was already forming his lines, to burst suddenly
upon the Union troops at the base, where in the
screening woods nothing could be known of the
movements of the enemy until the Confederates
upon them. To verify this strong suspicion.
General Warren made his way as rapidly as possible
to battery at the foot of the hill
"Captain," he said, fire a shot into those
woods
The Captain of the rifle battery did So and as the
shot, whlstlng, passed over the wood it must have
caused everyone of the concealed Rebels to look in
the direction of the sound; for a simultaneous
flash of musket barrel and bayonet revealed To the
Northern General the presence of a long line of the
enemy far outtlanking the position Of the Union
