IN SPITE OF FATE.
A little boy sat on an old rail fence
And gazed at dropping limb;
And sinful yearning that was In
Kept steadily urging him
Hts little red features were covered
with dirt,
And his little brown legs were
scratched;
There were numerous rents in his
little checked shirt,
And his little blue pants were
patched.
From one little toe tho nan had been
torn,
And one little heel was sore;
"a child apparently more forlorn
had never beheld before.
At last he stood on the topmost rail
And reached for that dropping
limb;
almost uttered hopeless wall
felt SO sorry for him.
Hand over hand he pulled 1t down
The limb with the droop, mean:
His face was red and his legs were
brown,
And the apples were small and
green.
He sat on the rail and he ate and ate;
I counted them-there were four;
Then, foolishly, recklessly, challeng.
ing fate,
He reached for a couple more.
Sadly I turned to pursue my way,
And sadly said, "Good-by.
Alas for what / have seen this day,
TITS sad that the young must die.
'You have had your way and you've
had your will;
Your bed will be dark and deep;
A week from now upon yonder hill
You will lie in dreamless sleep"
a week had passed and again l
CHANGED
To pause near that fateful tree;
With sad remembrance turned and
glanced
a thrill was in store for me.
For there ON the old rail fence he
sat,
Eating with calm delight
And, having finished, he filled his
hat
And then sauntered out OF sight

were slain on this field Of battle pre-
coded them fifty years ago.
The battle OF Gettysburg came to a
close on the evening of tbs Fourth Of
July fifty years ago. It ended three
days OF the fercest lighting OF the
civil war. 1t was victory for the
northern forces, but the death losses
on both sides were enormous. Many
regiments which went into this bat
tie on the first day. July 2. could
count less than one full company OF
men when the roll was called at the
end of the three days fray.
At the close OF the battle the fields
were strewn with the dead and wound
ed. For months after the battle the
field at Gettysburg bore marks OF the
terrific conflict.
The soil was drenched with blood
and the little streams ran red with
the blood Of the wounded and slain.
The Emmittsburg road was impossible
for days owing to the dead bodies of
men and horses covering the road
way. The ground over which Pick
lett's men had SO CALAMITY charged
was now field of dead, and the
ground covered by the First Mime
sofa in their remarkable fight was
covered with a silent host OF
broken, battered human forms. Down
lin the wheatfield they found con,
federate and union soldier side by side
the union man holding his canteen
close to the mouth of the confederate.
1t seemed that his last act must have
been giving the southerner some
some water-a silent example of that
old saying, Death makes all men
brothers" In the peach orchard they
found fair haired drummer boy with
his battered drum by his side. Death
had come swiftly, and the boy seemed
like one asleers
The work of burying nine thousand
dead and removing twenty thousand
wounded to comfortable quarters was
herculean task, for the confederate
as well as the union dead had to be
Inferred as the former had about all
tAty COuiu 10 10 look after their
wounded. The confederate prisoners
were pressed into service to bury
their fallen comrades. This they did
cheerfully. digging long trenches and
placing the men side by side. Many
times we have made the Yankees do
the same thing for us" they said as
they covered the boys from the south
land with the cold earth OF the north.
But this all occurred fifty years
ago and none except those who have
fought on the battlefield can appre-
ciate and understand the suffering that
the boys in blue and the boys in gray
occasioned on the field of Gettysburg
July 2, 8 and 4, 1868. We are glad it
lis over and we are especially glad
that fifty years of time has wiped out
J! all the differences of divided nation,
and that northerner and southerner
can meet on mutual ground and dis
cuss, without prejudice the strife of
half a century ago when fathers and
sons laid down their lives for a cause
each side believed to be right.

A Batch Of Smiles.

Young Raymond had been busy all
of the afternoon with his little pail
and shovel on the beach. Bedtime
came, and YEARLY he stood while his
mother undressed him. Then prayers
were next Ia order, and by chat time
he was almost in the land Of nod
Il Now, be a good boy, dear, and say
your prayers. Thank God for all His
goodness to you" His head had fall

said sternly, as she shook him, you
