THE VOICE IN THE DARK.
4 Memory CT Piekett's Brigade and
Night Attack.

Some years after the civil war .
gathering of veterans of both sides
was exchanging "reminiscences at
banquet given by the board of trade
of New York, writes Mrs. La Sale
Corbell Pickett in Lippincotts.
The presiding officer was Colonel
]. J. Phillips of the Ninth Virginia
regiment, Pickett's division. He
was speaking of night attacks and
recalled one in particular, not be-
cause of its startling horrors, but
because of a peculiar circumstance,
almost resulting in the compulsory
disobedience of orders-the obey
ing, as it were, of a higher COM
mand than that of earth.
''The point of attack had been
carefully selected" said Colonel
Phillips, "the awaited dark night
had arrived, and my command was
to fire when General Pickett should
signal the order.
"There was that dread, indescrib-
able stiffness, that weird, ominous
sience, that always settles over
everything before a fight. You felt
that nowhere in the universe was
there any voice or motion.
Suddenly the awesome silence
was broken by the sound of deep,
full voice rolling over the black
void like the pillows of great sea,
directly in line with our guns. 1t
was singing the old hymn, Jesus.
Lover of Ny Soul
ri have heard that grand old
music many times in circumstances
which intensified its impressive
ness, but never had it seemed so
solemn as when it broke the still
ness in which we waited for the or
der to fire. Just as it was given
there rang through the night the
words:
"Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow OF thy wing
Ready Aim! Fire to the
left, boysp l said.
"The guns were Suited, the vol
ley that blazed out sysTved aside
and that defenseless head was 'cov-
cred with the shadow of his wing"
4 Federal veteran who had been
listening looked up suddenly and
said:
81 remember that night, colonel
md that midnight attack which
carried of so many of my comrades
was the singer"
There was a second of silence
Then Jesus, Lover of Ny Soul,
rang across that banquet beard al
on that black night in 1864 it had
rung across the lines at Bermuda
J Hundred.

JUNGLE SANS DREAM"
AT GREEN STREET M. E.
CHURCH THIS EVENING

Uncle Sans Dream" the patriotic
playlet which will be given Thursday eve
ming at the Green street M. E. church, is
the work of an Augusta young lady, Miss
Ethel Brainerd being the authoress. The
play, which takes up in unique arrange
ment the forming of the 10 original states
into the Union and later additions, closely
carries out the idea Of the American his
tory Each Of the original states is repre-
scented by a young lady, with the proper
emblems, and included in the cast are
Columbia" and "Uncle Sam" as well as
many other characters. Music of a pa
triotic nature, by special arrangement,
also the work of Miss Brainerd, forms a
pretty setting for the play. Many of the
girls who have been rehearsng In the
play and will take part Thursday evening
declare that the dusty corners Of their
brains have been swept out and that they
have re-learned great deal about the
history Of our country. The playlet in
itself is really very we'll arranged and
speaks highly for the ability Of the au-
thoress
