LIGHT OUT OF DARKNESS

Idly rising in the estimation of the lead ing military men, and no regiment won higher praise for bravery and effective daring. Their love for their commander bore them unflinchingly wherever he dared to lead, and when diminished by many a hard fought battle there was little difficulty in filling up the ranks under Colonel Dunbar. Many of his officers had fallen or become incapaci tated for service, and by their fall George _ had become lieutenant colonel and Ralph the captain of his old company. Dunbar had been offered a general's command, but declined, saying that he had entered the army not as a profession, but simply to serve his country during the present emergency. His only wish was to re main with his present regiment, some of whom had been with him from the first, and he would guarantee that those must be brave men who would follow where that band led the way. We pass now to that eventful day that ended the battle of Gettysburg. The first day had been fearfully disastrous, and gloomy forebodings were prevalent in many parts of the army. Dunbar and ids men were placed in a position of im minent danger. The havoc of the previ ous day had been terrible, and the mor row's sun saw the enemy drawn up in great force before them ready to bear down on that special pivot. To break through that force and carry that posi tion appeared the only way to victory. But against what tremendous odds I Dunbar rode among his men, saying briefly: "I have every confidence in the leader of this division, but we have seen too many Buch fields not to be aware that we are in a critical position. If we can carry that point, victory is sure. To do that many of us go to certain death, but that will not daunt you, my men! I know you well. With God's help we can and will succeed 1 Seel Our lines • are moving! If I fall, stay not—leave me in God's care! A moment's hesita tion may lose us the day! Remember -what I say! Ourbattlecryis God and liberty! Now follow me." The shout that rose to heaven as he ended bore witness that there would be 'no wavering there. At that moment the enemy opened upon them, and our men were not slow in replying. It seemed that the very strength and spirit of lib erty was in every blow. The slaughter on both sides was terrific. At the point opposing Colonel Dunbar's regiment a slight confusion was manifest. Waving his sword, he cried: "They falter! For ward once more, my men!" As the word passed his lips a cannon ball removed his sword with the hand that held it. But raising his left hand on high, he shouted: "Remember I Forward for God and lib erty!" George sprang to his side, bound a handkerchief tightly around his arm. It was but a moment. One look of love and "Lillian." No other word, and like a rushing torrent they dashed forward to the head of the column together. Be fore these overwhelming billows the cue my gave way in the greatest confusion. But at that instant of certain victory a ball struck Dunbar in the chest. He fell and was borne from the field by his aids, while his men, remembering Mb last command, paused not for one look at their dying commander, yet no Scot tish clan ever fought with fiercer deter mination to avenge their chieftain's death than did that band, led on by his mourning brother. How the battle terminated needs no _--repetition. After the fight George and Ralph hastened to the spot where the be loved brother lay. He recognized them and calmly smiled, but could not speak. Life was almost over, but his earnest eyes spoke to George's heart, and kneel ing by his side he replied to that look. "I Will tell Lilly all you said last night, and as long as we live Ralph and I will al ways tenderly guard her and your boy! Will we not, Ralph?" The young cap tain pressed his lips to Eustace's brow and sobbed aloud. Many an older cheek was wet with tears. A few more faint breaths, and then the kind brother, the loving son, the devoted husband, the truly Christian patriot, yielded up his life for his country! I make no attempt to describe the mourning in the camp or the anguish at home when Ralph and Rose brought the remains of one so deservedly loved and honored back to the stricken family. Such sorrows are all too well understood. Very grievous was this loss to Mr. and Mrs. Newton, who had given him a son's place in their hearts, but having unre servedly given him with their other sons to their country's cause, knowing that he went to face death, they could, while bitterly grieving, still say, "Thy will be done." Of the wife, whose heart was knit to her husband's from earliest childhood, the young babe, who was never to know his father's face, I may not speak. Hers was a sorrow that mortal may not tres pass upon. God only can bind up the broken heart. By his love her soul may —will—find rest and peace. The night before this sad battle Eus tace had sat for more than an hour with his brothers and Rose. She was to re main in a temporary hospital at a suita able distance from the field, ready to give care and attention to such of the wound ed as the next morning's battle must bring her. From this sweet sister, who had so nobly followed them, they had no secret. They knew that the morrow was full of peril and would dawn upon one of the most fiercely contested fields of the whole war. After some time spent in this discus sion Eustace turned the conversation to the anxious hearts at home. He read them a letter he had received that even ing from his wife, in which she spoke with a mother's pride of his little son and with much tender longing that he could Bee the child if only for an hour. In closed was a picture of the babe in her arms. Rose and her brother were en thusiastic in their expressions of delight at the evidently faithful picture of their loved sister and their little nephew. Their loving remarks were occasionally mingled with a laughing reproach of Eustace for concealing his possession of such a treasure. But George, noticing that he had been mmsually silent during this joyful, half DH,n-\,\nm.n,ammmmm*wim\»\\twmiitmemmtmmmi>mmmm»mmmm

playful conversation which" tlie letter and picture had caused, readily under stood that the husband's and father's heart was yearning for one look upon those he so dearly loved, and doubtless thoughts of the coming struggle min gled with other emotions. A significant look from George sufficed to check Ralph's humorous speech and gradually change the conversation. But Eustace notice* the change and understood the reason. He looked up and tried to smile upon them m his old, loving way, but suddenly dropped his head upon the table beside him. For many minutes all were silent. God only knew the storm that swept over that motionless figure, but when he raised his head the darkness had fled, the storm had passed, and a holy calm shone upon his face—a peace such as close communion with God only can bring had transfigured him, and years will never efface that expression from the minds of those who sympathized with what they knew must have been the agony that preceded it. Rose will tell you that from that hour she felt assured that the golden gates had opened, giving him a foretaste of the glory bo soon to be realized. After a moment's silence Eustace calmly referred to the great burden that had weighed upon his heart for hours and remarked that he had been under the impression that he should fall m the immediate struggle. He had been anx ious to speak fully to them* but had waited till he could feel that his own heart was resigned to his Father's will. Now he could speak to them with com posure. He then urged upon his brothers the importance of entering upon the mor row's labors with every thought concen trated upon the work, prepared to banish all personal feeling, to know nothing save that the enemy were before them and with God's help muz"; be defeated, even if it cost the dearese friend or their own lives. Entering upon the battle with this entire self abrogation and trust ing to the Almighty arm. for assistance, they were sure to conquer. If he fell, he looked to his brothers to lead his men. He needed no response from the stern, pale face 3 before him. No word was spoken. Their hearts were too full. But the long embrace, as each brother left his tent and as Rose bowed her head one moment on his breast and then pressed a lingering kiss upon his lips, told more than words could have done how fondly and truly their hearts were with him m richest affection. The next morning an orderly handed Rose a letter inclosing one to her sister, evidently written after they parted the night before. If I fall m the coining battle, Eosie, give the inclosed to my precious wife; if not, destroy it. E.D. With that sacred letter we have noth ing to do. That the merciful Father was near this noble family m the hour of their deepest trial, as he had been when lesser clouds overshadowed them, we cannot doubt. It has not been my in tention to manufacture a romance from the simple sketch of two families. I only wished to take some of the most promi nent events transpiring at a crisis m our country's history that has tested the character, separated the "dross from the pure gold" more surely than any other period has ever done. ,

Honor, truth, industry and a full trust In our Father's unfailing care make cour ageous, self sacrificing natures and happy homes, not exhaustless riches or stately mansions. In this unsettled period of our country's history, when each day surprises us with sudden and startling changes, when the poor are exalted and the rich brought low, it may bo wise to inquire if anything can more surely se cure competence and permanent happi ness, dispel repining and despondency, than cheerful industry and contentment. I have hoped this simple narrative of i life's vicissitudes with which every week ! is full might enable some young reader 1 to understand- that the loss of riches | through no wrongdoing of its possessor 1 has no power to diminish the respect or j destroy the happiness of a pure spirit | and well regulated mind. I Our country teems with just such 1 characters as I have portrayed, but quiet ! and unobtrusive in their goodness be | cause they are too fully occupied to j "sound a trumpet before them." The 5 lessons they might teach are learned only j by the observant, careful searchers after | the "right way." THE END.

An orderly handed Rose a letter.
