Wh"0 Sykei had bumped on Jackson and their linos
had clinched at sight,
Whilo wo waited there for Longstreet, who never missed a fight
An Bid-de-camp in shirt sleeves came lopin up the hill.
"You hold this lino for Hooker!" ho yells at Captain Dill,
"And mind you hold it longer than you did at Gaines's Milll"
Old Captain Bill mado answer: "You boys must havo your fun,
But wo didn't break at Gaines's till all you chaps had run.
And we'll hold this hill for Hooker whilewe'vomontoworkaBun,w
Across the field below us ripped out tho rebel yell
As Longtreet's lino of battlo como etrcakin' up tho swell,
And wa whipped tho limbers closer and opened out with shell
But uholl was moat for Longstreet; ho ato it with his bread,
Ana 60 wo changed tho menu to canister instead,
And when that didn't stop 'em wo lot the shrapnel spread.
Wo pounded 'em to jelly, but the jelly wouldn't jell
Tho powder scorched their faces but they took it like the shell.
And then they reached our muzzles and tumbled through pell-moll.
It teemed we'd bast bo goin', with bayonets so near,
When through tho woods behind us, there rolled a roarin' cheer,
And Captain Bill yelled, "Hold 'em! That's Hooker almost herel"
We fought between tho sections just like a game of tag;
A Johnny jumped my field gun and waved a battlo flag
But I lammed him with the gun swab and dropped him liko a rag.
Thoy had forced us to tho limbers, whero tho teams woro
tangled thick,
And woro pivoting our pieces to teach us our own trick,
Whon Hookor's boys camo through us, deploying doublo-quick.
Tho Johnnies hung like bulldogs and faced us broast to breast.
But Longstreet's men.wero winded, whilo Hooker'd had a rest,
And when the smoko had lifted wo Yankees held the crost
And Hookor stopped to thank us, and then 6aid Captain Bill:
"Thoy thought we couldn't hold 'em, but, General, hero's your hill
And I'd liko to ask Jim Longstreet if wo'ro quits for Gaines's Milll"

Recall the Days
of Sacrifice
Fifty Years Ago
?i"W"?f.iW:W---'Vi
ORE than fifty years have
passed since tho North,
nnd South took up arms to
begin tho wnr which Sec
retary Seward had do
clared could not last nine
President Lincoln's first
ty days.
call was for 76,000 volunteers, and
Jefferson Davis sent agents nbroad to
purchnsc 10,000 stand of arms. In
18G1 that was as nenr as public opin
ion on both sides camo to grasping
tho magnitude of tho coming strug
gle. It was little clso than nn armed
mob that went streaming south in
tho early days of tho war; it wis lit
tlo olso than an armed mob th: t met
thoso recruits, and tho first i:attlefl
wero llttlo else than horolc sulfites,
nut presently when tho hurrah stage
was pnssed and tho sections hr.d set
tled down to tho grim business of
war, thcro emerged from tho chaos
of camp and drill ground tho finest
armies that ever shook a continent
with their tread.
And out of tho first doubtful trials
and experiments with political gen
erals, lawyer colonels and adventurer
captains, there came tho foremost
mllltnry leaders of tho ago Lee,
Grant, Jackson, Thomas, Sherman,
Sheridan. The raw recruits who had
scrambled out of the way of tho
bounding cannon balls on tho field of
Hull Run grew into the seasoned vet
erans who coolly pinned tags bearing
their names to their shirts when they
went to death against tho "Bloody
Anglo" at Cold Harbor; who stormed
tho flre-spltting heights at Fredericks
burg and took pnrt in the murderous
fighting nt Gettysburg.
Tho moro thnn 2,000,000 Boldlors
called to tho tented field half a cen
tury ago aro but a corporal's guard.
Thou marching lino Is thinned to file
loaders nnd color bearers, a specter
army of white-haired men that onco
a year, on Memorial Day, kcops step
to tho shrill of the old fife and tho
tap of tho muffled war drums. Today
tho worn bluo line, closed up over
tho gaps mado in it by another yerr,
again is marching to "the bivouac of
tho dend" to pay trlbuto to tho fallen
comrades. And beeldo it marches
the worn line of gray.
These aro tho reminders to u now
generation of that gigantic struggle
that was fought out for the Bake of
ideals; of ideals on either side for
which men freely laid down their
lives
"It Is rather for us to bo here dedi
cated to the great task remaining
boforo us, that from these honored
dead wo take increased dovoMoc to
that cause for which they gave tho
last full measure of devotion; that
we here highly . resolve that thess
dead shall not have died in vain."

LESSON FOR MAY 26.
TRUTHFULNESS.
T.nsSON THXT-Mntt. fiill-37: James ft
M:
(lOI.DUX Ti:;T-"Puttln(T nwny fnln
liooil, xpi-iilc ye truth ciu'H tniiii with hla
nrlithtior: for wo iir inemlcrn ono of
another." Kpli. 4:'..
In this lesson Jesus makes a still
further application, or rather gives ua
another illustration of tho righteous-)
ness of his now kingdom, which must
ho grenter thnn that taught by tho
Pharisees. Wo havo studied tho sa
cred relations or tho righteous lire,
now wo nro to consider tho matter of
truth. We havo first a parngraph from
Jesus, then an ethical teaching and ap.
plication from tho writings or .lames
tho upoHtle.
Under tho old law men sworo by
henvon which is God's throne, by the
earth which Is his footstool, by Jeru
salem which wan his peculiar chosen
city. They sworo by tho bond ahd
yet thoy could not chnngo ono hair
white or black. Jesus contrasts all
of this with his new kingdom In
which ahsoluto simple veracity in our
speech Is all that Is to bo required.
This makes all oaths profane. When
men II vo In theso now relations, with
this new consciousness or God they
will spenk tho truth naturally and ot
necessity. To such there will bo no
need ror nny fonn or speech or oath,
for tho simplest, plainest speech will
bo tho only necessary and tho nlto
gcther satisfactory medium of giving
nnd of creating assurance. How about
oaths In court? Jesus Is speaking to
tho members or his new kingdom. He
tween them yea nnd nay Is sufficient,
but as between them nnd other:! wo
must adjust ourselves and therefore
wo do not read Into this any admoni
tion not to take an oath lntcourt.
Should Be 8wlfl to Hear.
"Bo not many teachere." Wo now
turn to a paragraph from tho Kplstlo
of James which ban Its peculiar value
and Interest as showing the dllllculty
of mastering the tongue, in tho
church of Christ there must of neces
sity bo a great many moro dlsclplos
(learners) than teachers. Kvery man
should ho swift to hear, but tho posi
tion of teacher carries with it such
a burden of responsibility that no one
should nudaclously nsssumo it, sen
Kph. 4:11, etc. With this responsibil
ity Is iiIbo a correspondingly heavier
judgment if wo stumble. Ho that
stumbles not in teaching, in tho use
of his tonguo, 1h indeed a perrcct man
nnd one thai is able to brldlo tho
wholo body; to guldo the ship or lire,
of state, and or tho church, amidst
tho fiercest storms.
"Tho tongue Is a lire." It is In
deed for it inllnmes with anger the
wholo body, tho family, society and
tho nation. History is nblnzo with tho
conflagrations that aro n conscquenco
of untimely words and of unbridled
tongues, Prov. 15:1, etc. Tho tonguo
giving uttcrnnco to tho thoughts or tho
heart (for out of tho abundance) of tho
heart It speaks), will inflnmo lust,
wither purity nnd consumo strength.
It fires Jealousy nnd burns tho sweet
bonds of friendship. It will sovor tho
tics of home, burn nwny tho founda
tions of character, of commercial in
tegrity, social purity nnd destroy tho
bonds ot civic righteousness. It is
Indeed "a world of Iniquity nmong our
mcmberB." Lot us quote from Dr. It.
A. Torrey: "Tho HrcB of hell nro
kindled by ldlo words thnt set mon
thinking wrong nbout God and sin and
Christ and the Blblo. Men usunlly
careful in handling firo nro careleu
about tho tongue. Whenco como tho
words thut inllamo tho Imagination
and tho passloiiB? Whenco come tlio
words that undermine faith nnd tho
credibility of tho Bible? If nny man
question James words that 'the tonguo
can no man tamo' ho has evidently
novcr-trled It hlmsolf." This does not
mean, however, that tho tonguo can
not ho tamed, for what Is Imposslblo
with man Is posslblo with God. James
draws a frightful picture or tho un
tamed tonguo und of its evil conse
quences. Profane Men Classified.
"Theso things ought not to be."
No moro can n fountain yield fresh
nnd salt water nt ono and tho samo
time, or a fig troo yield olives, thnn
for a Christian to bless God and with
tho samo tonguo curso his fellow men.
Not only Is It unkind but It Is tin
L'hristlllto. Sarcasm means lltornlly
"to tear flesh liko dogs," tho chari
oteer's whip toro tho llesh, so wo uso
tho tonguo as a lash, biting tho sensi
tive spirits of men; verily theso thlngH
"ought not to bo." Phillips Brooks
said, "Tell mo tho words a man uses
and reproduco bis tono of voico and
I'll tell what sort ot man ho Is."
It Is a literal fact that tho truthrul
man is he who usually exemplifies all
other virtues and wo cannot em
phaslzo too strongly that no gentle
man swoars. ' Profnno men nro of
three classes; thoso who aro thought
less, thoso who aro Ignorant ot Inn
guago and havo n paucity or expres
sions at their command, nnd thoso
who uso profanity to emphasize n Ho,
and generally the greator tho Ho tho
moro and stronger tho oaths. We must
not forget, however, that by our ol
lenco we may bear falso witness and,
that a positive obligation rests upon
u to speak word oX pralso.

"ONE MILLION LEAGUE
FOR MANITOBA."
Tho purposes of tho "Million for
Manitoba league" nro sot out In tho
fact that Manitoba wnnto moro peo
ple. Today tho population In loss than
llvo hundred thousand, niul tho de
termination of tho representative mon
of tho Provlnco to dovoto their best
energies to Increasing this to a mil
lion Is a worthy ono. Thoro Is nlroady
a widespread Interest In ovory munic
ipality; committees aro appointed,
whoso duties nro to sccuro such a
thorough knowlcdgo of local condi
tions that, whether tho nppllcant fot
Information bo a laborer for tho farm,
a vould-bo tenant, n probnblo home
steader, tho buyor of a small Improved
farm or tho purchaser of n largo tract
for colonizing farmers, tho Informa
tion Is at hand, free.
Tho advantages that Manitoba pos
sesses nro many, nnd with tho ex
ploitation that will bo given them by
tho birth of this now acquisition to
tho settlement nnd Immigration prop
ngandn thnt Is being carried on by
tho Dominion Government, thoro Is no
doubt thnt tho establishment of the
bureau will very soon bring nbout tho
results looked for. Mnnltoha Is prac
tlcnlly tho gateway of tho great grain
belt of tho West. Its farm lands
have demonstrated tlmo and again
that they havo a yielding vnluo thnl
practically makes thorn worth ovoi
one hundred dollars per ncro. Added
to the yielding vnluo of tho land, thore
Is nn Increased vnluo on nccount ol
its nenmcss to markets, nnd tho mat
ter of freight rates Is carefully con
sidered by tho cautious buyer. But
tho Information moro valuablo to tho
Incoming settler Is thnt It still haB nn
Immense amount of vacant fertile land
open for homesteads. This dlspols the
Idea thnt freo homesteads In Manitoba
nro nbout cxhnusted. In addition to
this, tho territory recently ndded to
tho Provlnco will open up a home
steading area which when filled
should fully satisfy tho "Million for
Mnnltoha League." Within tho old
boundaries thoro Is an area of -17,300,-000
acres, lesn than six mll'lon acres
of tho 1G6 million ncres occupied be
ing under cultivation. At present thcro
nro over 20 million acrcH of available
land cnpablo of being put under tho
plough. If In ovory ono of tho 195.000
vacant quarter sections of tho Prov
lnco nn nverago family of-four porsons
were plnccil, thoro would bo added a
rural population of nearly 800,000. So
thcro Is room for additional hundreds
of thousands on tho farms of Mani
toba, without any possibility of con
gestion. Tho population per mllo In
Iowa Is 39.4, In Minnesota It Is 23.5.
That In Mnnltoha Is only 7.1.
A glanco at the map, copies of which
will he forwarded upon application to
nny Canadian Government Agent,
shown thnt Manitoba is wonderfully
well supplied with railways. Thcro
nro hut few farms that nro more than
ten or twolvo miles from a railway
line: clovntors nro convenient, and
markets aro alwnys good. Tho grow
ing of grain, whilo a big feature in
the Inducements held out, Ib well ro
enforced by tho great possibilities that
exist in all portions of tho Provlnco,
for tho raising of Btock, for dairying,
for hogs, nnd for a successful class of
mixed farming, and what gives addi
tional interest is tho fact that thcro
is so much land In tho Province open
for freo homostendlng that improved
farms In almost nil of tho 98 munici
palities can ho purchased at very low
figures. Many of tho owners of these
havo mado sufllclcnt upon which to ro
tiro and aro becoming residents of tho
cities. In addition to tho export mar
ket for tho produce of the farm, Man
itoba has a numbor of largo cities and
towns providing a splendid local mar
ket. Truck and garden farming are
highly profltnblo branches. Winnipeg
is a city bordering on 200,000. Bran
don is a splendid centre, Portage la
Prairie is the huh of nn excellent dis
trict, nnd Yorkton, Mlnncdosa, Dau
phin, Mordcn, Manltou and a dozen
other towns aro important help as con
sumers. Tho Dominion and Provincial Immi
gration officials aro working in strong
sympathy with tho "Million for Mani

pamphlets giving useful nnd concise
