For I have marked thy strong career;
As traced by thy own sttrdy pen;
I ve seen thy struggles with the foes
That dared thee to the desperate fight,
and loved to watch thy goodly blows
Dealt for the 4ause thou deem'st the right
Thou'st dared to stand against the wrong
wh e n many faltered .by thy side;
In thy own strength has dared be strong,
Nor on another's arm relied.
Thy ownbold thoughts thou'stilared to think
Thy own greit purposes avowed;
And none have over seen thee shrink
From the fierce surges of the crowd.
Thou all unaided and alone,
Didst take thy way in life's young years,
With no kind hand clasped in thy-own,
No gentle voice to soothe thy tears•
But thy high heart no power cculd tame,
And thou hast never ceased to feel,
Within thy veins a sacred flamo
That turned thy iron nerves to steel.
I know that thou art not exempt
From all the weaknesses of earth,
For passion comes to rouse and tempt
The truest souls of mortal birth.
But thou hast well fulfilled thy trust,.
In spite of love and hopo and fear,
And e'en the tempest's thunder-gust
But clears thy spirit's atmosphere.
Thou still art in thy manhood's prime,
Still foremost mid thy fellow men,
Though in each year of all thy time
Thou bast compressed three score and ten
Oh,.may each blessed sympathy,
Breathed on thee with a tear and sigh,
A sweet flower in thy pathway be, •
A bright star in thy clear blue sky.

On the 15th, of. July we resumed our
march, by way of Punkstown, co Boones

upon the route they had taken, bat by
moving back over the road webad come,
towards the east side of the South moun
tain, the intention seeming to be, to take
a line of march between the enemy and
Washington, and nearer our own line of
supply. We were urged forward so very
_rapidly, under the hot sun, that many
of our men gave out, and lay clown, from
exhaustion„and, finally, Gen. Russell,
our brigade commander, halted, and de
clared be would not march his men at
such a rate under the circumstances.—
We encamped at Boonesboro, and had a
bath, and an opportunity to wash our
clothing. •
Next morning, at'daylight, we moved,
by the National pike, to Middletown,and
thence, by way of Burketsville, where
we had a fight in 1862, and where now
we cooked a cup of coffee, and indulged
in hard-tack and pork, until, passing
Potersville, we reached the Potomac at,
or near, Berlin station, on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. Here we beard, for
the first time, of the riots in New York
city, fomented by the sympathizing
friends of our misguided and oppressed
Southern brethren, whom we had so un
mercifully and unconstitutionally whip
ped a few days before. The riots, like
almost all the other humane, enlighten
ed and astute operations of the Northern
sympathizers with the grand treason,
came a day after the fair, however, and
Mr. Seymour's friends were unmerciful
ly "squelched" for all time.
We remained in camp on the 17th and
18th, near Berlin. The rain was con
stant and heavy, rendering roads and
camps equally uncomfortable. Some sup
plies were received, and on the evening
of the 18th, we moved to the river,where
troops were already crossing the Poto
mac: In the morning we crossed the
river, and, on the South hank, received
an order to send three officers and six
men to Carlisle to receive and take
charge of drafted men to report at that
camp. The writer having been one of
the number designated, must depend
upon the information of comrades for
his materials in tracing the history of
the regiment for a few months from this
date. • .

march, and encamped at White Plains,
where three memberS of Co. "C," who
were out getting blackberries, and other
berries, were captured by guerrillas and
carried off. But one ever returned. The
others were systematically, chivalrously
and humanely starved to death at An
dersonville, by the high-toned Southern
gentlemen in charge of that. delightful
summer resort, The regiment moved
on to near Warrenton, Va., near the fa
mous Blue Springs, where they went into
camp, and commenced a regular routine
of camp life—drill, picket and fatigue.
Nothing of note occurred until about the
tenth of October, when Lee moved by
our right flank, intending, evidently, .to
seize Centreville, and beat us to Wash-
ington.
Meade was awake, however, and get
ting to the Heights, at Centreville,
awaited his foeman who, prudently, did
not attack, but retreated again, follow
ed by Meade, until the Rappahannock
separated the two armies. Our regiment
returned to Warrenton, and re-establish
ed their camps, and re-commenced their
routine. Here Col. Wm. H. Irwin, who
had seldom been on duty since his wound
was received at Fredericksburg: April
29, 1863, formally resigned his com
mission, and took leave of the regiment.
His resignation was upon the ground
that his health was so much impaired
that he could not longer perform the du
ties of his position in an active cam
paign, and was accepted upon the certi
ficate of his Stirgeon that such was the
case.
The command of the regiment devolv
ed upon Lt. Col. Hulings, who could not
then be promoted to fill the vacant Col
wacky, because of our diminished num
bers, as the Secretary of War, in his
wisdom, had ordered that in the regi
ments who were decimated by war's
chances should be refused all promotions
until they fill their ranks, while green
men were daily commissioned in new
organizations, of men just, as green, and
thus all the recruits we might have got,
absorbed.
Oct. 31st, the writer rejoined the re
-giment.at Warrenton. The usual rou
tine was still kept up, except that about
this time we were ordered to shoot a de
serter of our regiment, who had left us
at the battle of Antietam, abandohing
his duty as guard over a prisoner, and
going off to the North.
The preparations were all made, and
the troops were already forming to exe
cute Samuel Weller—not the one who was
servant to Pickwick—when a telegram
from President Lincoln, directing the
execution to be deferred one week, put
a stop to the proceedings. Before the
week was half up, a letter from cne of
the most venerable Ministers of Centre
county, now dead, was received by Col.
Hulings, endorsed by the President,with
a request to know if no circumstance of
the case could not he found to justify
him in granting the prayer of the writer,
which was a commutation of the sentence
of death, to hard labor during the war,
or such period as the President might
fix.
Theletter was a most eloquent appeal
for mercy— not to the man, but to his
mother; and the President's endorsement
showed that be had determined not to
have the man shot. the reply of the

On the morning of November 7, '6B,
we were suddenly and unexpectedly. or
'ordered to move towards the river. We
knew this meant fight, and so girded up
our belts, screwed up our courage, pack
ed up our tents and blankets, filled up
our haversacks, Canteens and pipes, and
started to meet our friends, the chival
rous, but uncivil and dirty "jennies."
The enemy were picketing a lino sev

the day. A detachment of our regiment

An Invincible Choir.
Our congregation, some time ago,con
eluded they must be in fashion, and get
up a choir. We found it easier to get it
up, than to get it "down again, or keep it
down in its proper place. Deacon Doty
headed a large party which kept up a
long war with our choir. In this pro
tracted fight, our pastor, Parson Tones,
Sr., took no part, but tried to moderate
both parties. At length there was a
truce and a kind of compromise effected
in this wise: Hymn books being scarce,.
the deacen Was to stand in front of the
pulpit and "parcel out" the lines, that
is, road the hymn by couplets, that all
the congregation might have a chance to
praise God, while the choir should lead
the singing. So all went on smoothly
for a time.
It happened, one day, that the Deacon
rose in his place, book in hand, and anx
iously felt, first in one pocket, then in
another, then turned his book toward
the window, held it out arm's length,
and, evidently annoyed, exclaimed:.
"My eyes are dim, I cannot see,
I did not bring my specs with me."
The ohoir struck up a long-metre
tune, and sung this oouplet, as they took
it," My eyes are dim,"eto:,and waited for
another. No sooner did they pause,
than Father Doty, with a deprecating
gesture, explained:
" I did not mean that you should sing,
But I forgot my specs to bring;"
The choir finished the tune, to these
last words, to the astonishment of the
good deacon, when, in evident vexation,
he hastily added :
"You are fools, I do believe!
And I shall no more couplets give."
These lines were immediately sung,
when the deacon, more astonished than
ever, exclaimed:
"You'ro allbowitehed, as I pereoivo,
And I'll beswitehed, if I don't leaver
making a pitch for the door. The per , '
sistent choir had done this last couplet,
with a strong emphasis on the final word
leave, just as the Deacon reached the
door, 'when, looking back, he yelled out:
"I'll tell you what, if you will sing,
Old Parson Jones may read the hymn." •
This was again sung with evident gus—
to, bringing the' choir half way through ,
the tune the third time, when the good:
old Arson thought to put a stop to the
scene. by commencing to read the Scrip—
ture lesson. So,, rising at that instant,- ,
dnd nearly bursting with laughter,. he
announced : " The second book of Sam - -
uel," and, in his confusion, forgot to an
nounce chapter third,oontinued : "Hem !
Now there was a long war between,"?
hero the thought of the long war between- ,
the Deacon and the -ohoir,_atr.nolc_the2_
parson.so forcibly, while the latter party
in the.contest stood waiting, that he fair-
ly broke down. But the invincible choir,.
nothing daunted, immediately struck
"The second book of Samuel,
Ham Now there was a , long war' between."
Hearing no more lines read,and hav
ing done three stanzas to their entire
satisfaction; the chbir subsided into
their seats, to read the news, to whisper.:
and giggle, or to doze.
How the parson got through the third -
chapter of tad Samuel, and the " long
war between the house of David and the
house of Saul," and what became GU
Deacon Doty, need not be recorded.
The next day there was anxious con-•
sultation between Deacon Doty and rii:rz
ion Jones. " Deacon, let's try them next •
Sunday on the ten commandments,"— •
"Poll," said Doty, "they'd do up'the.
commandments like hot cakes. I 'telt:
you what, parson, I sentimentally believe
that choir would sing right through •
both Chronicles, and all the genealogies
from Genesis to Jahn. You couldn't
choke them with Webster's .Unabridged,
or the Table of Logarithms."
Messrs. Editors, what shall' we do with'
our choir,—especially the organ?
THE comments of a colored preacher
on the text "It is more blessed to give
than to receive," are inimitable for point
as well 'as eloquence. " PTO known ,

give enough; but I never knowed

Du don't dio dat way. Brederin, has
any of you knowed a church to die 'cause
it gave too much ? If you do, just let'
me know; and I'll make a pilgrimage to
dat church, and I'll climb by de soft'

roof, and I'll stand dar and liftmy hands ,
