BY TVILLIAM B. ROHISSON. Thrice near the town of tJattysbmx onr bravest soldiers failed. And twice In vain the lines or L.ee hy Sickles were assailed. The woods and hills were all ablaze with rifled bat tery. And well they swept our thinning ranks with their artillery : As o'er the road to Einmetshiirir the Southern sol diers hurst. Onr bravest troops were driven back, diminished and dispersed. The sallant Iee sur.-cved the field with lold but anxious eye. And ordered uj his last reserve, his latest chance to try. At Oettysbunr, at Octtysbunr, how fast his Ocn crals ride. And imistcrinsr come his chosen troops, like clonds at eventide. And twice ten thonsand veteran troops in stately column tread. Their cannon blaze in front and flank Lonirstreet is at their head : Steady they step Trom out the woods, steady they climb the hill. Steady they load, steedy they fire, moving riirht onward still. Hetwixt the woods and Round Toil's steeps, a? through a fnrnace blast, i Thronrh ramparts, trench, and palisade, and irrapc j shot showering fast ; i And in the open plain between they marched and kept their course, With ready fire and irrim resolve that mocked at j hostile force ; j O'er l'lum linn's Moody stream they marched while thinner grew their ranks, i And broke as breaks the Zuydcr Zee ou Holland's ocean hanks, j To meet the shock and drivo It back corps after corps hnd tried I To stop the stream of chivalry or stay its headlong ', tide: j Bombshell and grape and round shot tore, still on I they marched and fired, I Fast from each volley cavalry nnd Inlantry retired. 1 "Homes, fin-sides, altars are involved." brave Meade imploring cried. But on they came no power, It seemed, could : stem the swelling tide Across the road to Einmetsbiirif : and Meade had : turned his rein. "Kctreat not yet." Fate Interposed: "the Second Corps remain !" And trettysbnnr. tned Urttysburg. had been a 1 Bull Hun too Were not our gallant Hancock there, lbravevehe- I meat, and true. j -Hancock." he says, "you have your wish, there i are the T'nion's Iocs :" ! And Meade could scarce restrain a smile, so furi i ously he oes. : t hen proud th j look that Hancock wears, his voice is clear a n.t gay. ; The tre: sured hopes of centuries r.re in his sword to-day. The sa r -.1 I'ni ni must not fail, the States must ; ever be A elorfops band of brotherhood, united, strong, a nd free : j n lununted steed, with cap in hand, and light i ning in his eye. He waves them on to deeds of fame and glorious victory ! ; At Oettysburg, at lettysburg, nor ever yet else where I Did mounted chieftain look so grand as Hancock i then and there. His very vo-.ee n hoarse Willi joy, as gayly he c nnman-1? : "Cl.nrae : comrades, charirc!" Iikc mountain storm rush on his fiery bands. Thin Is brave Tnirstreet's column now, and faint his volleys trrnw : Vet musterinir all his towerinir strenirth, he make? a arallnnt show. They dress their ranks near Uoiind Top Hill, and lace the battle wind. Their bayonets the breakers"' loam, like rocks the men behind : One volley cra-hes Irom their line, when thromrh the sunrinLr smoke. With shout and cheer and flashing fword, the headlong HaTcock broke. At Ucttysbur-', at frettysbunr, hark to the fierce ). u 7.7.a : The I'nion saved : the country freed, when Han cock leads the war. IIke lions leapinjr at a (old. when mad with hun ger's pat.:r, Hiirht ni aaaiiist brave Lontr-trect's rank? these I'nion heroes sprana; : Bright was their steel : 'tis bloody now. their tcuns are filled with if... re: Through shattered ranks and severed file! and trampled flaa they tore. Confederates strove with desperate strength. paused, rallied, stairirerc.l, lie 1 : flic rcen hill ide is matted close with tlvinur and w ith dead ; Alonir the road to Haircrstown passed on the hide ous rack. W hile sword and shell nnd musketry flamed on their Southward track. At irettyshnnr. at Oettysbunr, an casle in tho sun. With Moody pluire our Hancock stands; the field is font: lit and won. July the Fourth, at ( le'tyshunr, our wounded lead er lay ; Another Hancock's name is horn upon this jtlorions day : There irallant Keynohl" risked hi? life, and lorthe I'nion .lied. And harksdale fell, a soldier true, upon the other side : And those who louirht. and those who fell, the liv ing and the dead. On either side, shall honored be, hy brave men whom they led. The Southern harp shall speak tiic'r lame who bravely fowrht with I.ce, And Northern ?ona shall sin their praise who struck for unity. But praise tho Iord, from lake to gulf, that we have fecn the day When Hancock's name unites the hosts that wore the blue and irray ! $. T. Sun. Fin;ii)Y and P.. The, Washington cor respondent of tlie IJoston Herald tells this stiiy of the ('hicio;o convention : "On the dav after the convention Mr. Tot ter Palmer took ex-Sheriff Daggett, of Iirook lyn, by the arni, ami insisted on makino; a call on ex-I'resident irant, who was in the hotel. Dapjett replied that he would rather not do so : that he had opnotsed Grant in the j convention, and it micrlit lie awkward. ' Palmer said that would make no t'ifl'erenee. j .so lie went into the Grant parlor and w:is re t introduced to lirant having met him before. I After a pleasant conversation he was intro- duced to Mrs. FrccJ. Grant as a delegate from New Voik. Mi-takinsher man, Mrs. Fred. at once lannched out into glorifying the Xew York Grant men. Sl.esaidthev fthefamilvl oonlil never.be sufficiently grateful to tl.e men who had stood by the fie.ieral so faith fully. Daggett, no soon as he couid politely interrupt, said: 'But, .Mrs. (.rant, 1 was i one of tUnse delegates and voted against ! him.' The recoil was painful. Mrs. Grant, j senior, who was standing near, overheard j Daggett's remarks, and in a severe tone cried out : 'We'.I, I don't see how any man from Xew York could ever have voted against i the General ; I cannot understand it' this i last in a tone of high dudgeon. 'The idea !' ; echoed Mrs. Fred., and poor Daggett got out : of the room as speedily as possible. Just , then a Southern gentleman of color named (uarles, who had been United States consul at Malaga, and who had lieen at work for i Sherman, appeared, and was welcomed by Grant, who knew him. But Colonel Fred. , spied him, and at once cried out : 'Pop, that man voted against, you in the convention on every ballot,' at the same time pointing in dignant ly at the poor colored brother, who, however, ws ey.ial to the decision, and re plied, with dignity, 'Yon are mistaken Col. , Grant, for I was not a member of the con- ve.r.io;).' " A FRIGHTFUL ENCOUNTER. I!T T. M. Some thirty odd years ago a Mexican boy was riding leisurely across the prairie in the far southwest. His home was quite a dis tance away ; but, like all who dwell upon an exposed frontier, lie was trained to horse manship and hunting from his earliest youth and his parents felt no concern in allowing him to wander over the prairie or mountain, even though be incurred the additional risk of falling in with the aborigines, who were always roaming over the country. Upon this iccasion, Alfredo had been hunting for deer. lie had succeeded in wounding several, but on every occasion the habeas corpus act failed. Once he saw his game stagger and fall, while ascending the mountain side, and with high hopes of "bag ging" his prize he spurred his mustang for ward ; but the sight of several dusky horse men who came to view from a grove of tim ber between him nnd the deer, caused a change in his purpose, and he wheeled about and ga'doped homeward. The red men did not seem to think him worth following, and when he looked back after a gallop of several miles, he saw noth ing of them. The afternoon was about half gone and the day was a clear, bracing one in autumn. His course led him along the dry bed of a stream which he had frequently traveled be fore, and which was so familiar to both him and his animal that after entering it he gave no thought to the direction he was pursuing. lie hail ridden about a mile in this direc tion, when his intelligent mustang threw up his head and gave a sharp neigh, halting ab ruptly at the same time, and showing by his action that he had scented danger. There was no trouble in learning what it was that had alarmed the animal ; for, at a distance of several hundred yards, in the centre of what was a drj canon, he saw a small camp-fire burning, the thin smoke of which could be plainly distinguished as it slowly rose in the clear atmosphere. Still no person could be seen anywhere near the fire a fact that was suspicious it self. lie carefully scanned the ground, and then, very prudently, concluded to wheel about and retreat, and stait homeward over the open prairie, where there was no danger of running into an ambush like this. But at this juncture the proprietor of the camp-fire stepped forth to view, in the shape of a large hunter, who called out to him in Spanish, telling him he had nothing to fear and inviting him to come on. Reassured by the discovery that the hunter was one of his own people, the boy rode un hesitatingly forward, and. a moment later, his delicate palm was grasped by the horny palm of the honest old Mexican, who invited him to join him in the dinner that lie was just then prepariiv.'. Alfredo was very glad to do so, and the two sat down to a haunch of venison, crisp, juicy and as palatable as the choicest meal ever prepared by'.a professional caterer, "hunger" being the "sauce," which gave it the luscious flavor that nothing else could have equaled. The name of the Mexican hunter was Ar mador Sanchez, and, at this time, there was no man on t he Western border more celebra ted than lie. Alfredo had frequently heard of him, but had never met him, and he was now quite delighted to find himself "vis-avis" with the famed trapper. The latter announced that he was on his way to the river Gila, and that he had left his horse secuiely concealed in the dense timber several miles distant, while he had gone off on a tramp in search of game. After a familiar chat of a half hour or so Alfredo bade his friend good-bye, and re mounted his mustang. The day was quite advanced ; and, as a dozen miles still remain ed between him and home, he was rather anxious to be on the move. Striking his horse into an easy gallop the boy started down the ravine, and was going at an easy swinging, gait, when, with a sud den neigh of alarm, he shied so violently to one side that Alfredo was unseated, and fell to the ground upon his hands and kllers, while the affrighted beast plunged on down the ravine, wild with terror. Alfredo knew that some terrible peril was upon him, and sprang to his feet. Less than a dozen yards distant, he discerned a very large grizzly bear lumbering rapidly toward him. He then instantly wheeled about and started at his greatest speed in the direction taken by Ids fleeing horse. But large and ungainly as was the bear, he greatly surpassed the youth in speed ; and, after a chase of a few rods, his immense paws clasped him in an irresistible embrace. As poor Alfredo f elt himself sink into the power of the monster, he gave one terrified shriek, and called out the name of Sanchez. The hunter heard that agonizing cry for help, and at once flew to Ids relief. When JSanehe z arrived on the ground the bear had the boy embraced in such a manner that there was danger of shooting the latter if he attempted to lodge a shot in any vital part of the brute ; but without waiting for so desirable an opportunity, he fired his rifle and pistol into his haunches and back, but without any perceptible result. Sanchez, after hastily reloading, planted bullet pfter bullet into his immense body, in the hope of attracting attention to himself ; but the eollossal fury clung to the boy, rend ing him in a fearful manner. All this time the poor little, fellow was im ploring the hunter to save him. Sanchez did all he could, until, finding that such means would not separate the two, he grew furious himself; and, dropping his gun and pistol, drew his sheath-knife and slung-shot Sanchez now wound his blanket round his left arm to protect it from the claws of the enemy. He then delivered a blow of his slung-shot upon the bushel-like head of the grizzly with such force that it must have been like the discharge of a small cannon ball. The next instant he had whipped out his keen hunting-knife, and sheathed it in the shaggy monster. These two compliments had the desired effect, and the bear released the boy and turned upon Sanchez. "Just what 1 wanted," muttered the lat ter, as he coolly awaited the assault. The hunter was remarkably active, and he easily eluded the hug of the outstretched paws, and the crunch of the cavernous mouth tha threatened to terminate his career. As the brute vainly clawed the air, Sanchez delivered several effective 'thrusts, andbeing an ambidexter, he was able to use the slung shot at the same time with the hunting knife. This sort of content was carried on for some time, until the grizzly bear became i:i furiateil at the dexterous nia.i.'.er in wli:-.-:i be SI.50 and was continually baffled. With a tremendous sweep of the paw, he struck Sanchez full in the chest, hurling him to the ground so vio lently that for a few minutes h lay insensi ble. The brute evidently looked upon the motionless form as that of a lifeless man and began licking his own wounds. In a -hort time Sanchez recovered ; and insta..;iy appreciating his position, he cau tiously trtrned his head, and saw his enor mous enemy attending to his own hurts. It. would naturally le supposed that the hunter had received enough of the contest, and would have much preferred to be "let alone," but Sanchez was a Western hunter, and such men, when they enter into a con test of this kind, are pretty apt to sec it through, without weighing the probable con sequences. Springing to bis feet with his knife firmly grased in hand he prepared to end the strug gle. He discovered at the same time that one of the blows with the slung-shot had broken the lower jaw of the animal. This, as it proved, was the most serious wound the j brute bad received. j Although Sanchez was now fully aroused, yet he was not blind to his own peril, nor the necessity of using the utmost caution and seizing every advantage in his power. The principals had swerved off to one side j of the ravine, where a number of trees of goodly size grew, and Sanchez immediately perceived how well these could be turned to account. He retreated in a guarded man ner until his foe was in the right position, when, with astonishing quickness, he gave him several thrusts with his knife, and, be- fore he could be grasped, leaped back behind the trees. As a matter of course, Bruin followed, vainly trying to close upon the agile Mexi- 1 can, who the instant the opportunity offered repeated the blows with the knife. So long as the grizzly kept up his steady lumbering method of working, so long it went against him, as the active hunter had no difficulty in keeping out of his reach ; but, unfortunately for our friend, he was taken unawares a second time by a sud len spring of the great fellow, and was stricken to the ground more violently than before. This blow caused him to faint entirely away, the bear again accepting his prostra tion of weakness as that of death itself. How long Sanchez remained unconscious can only be conjectured, as he had no means of judging himself, but when he regained his senses he found that the battle was ended, and he was the victor. A short distance away the immense griz zly bear was stretched out motionless and dead. Alfredo, the boy, when released from the grasp of the bear, was badiy wounded, and believing tiiat he could be of no assistance, he instantly left and hurried to the eastward toward the fort, which was several miles nearer than his own home. He was so weak and exhausted that he did not reach it till the next morning. As soon as his story was related a party of men mounted their horses and started in search of Sanchez, who was well known to them. He was found near the scene of his lecent exploit, dreadfully wounded, with hiscloth?s in ribbons. They carried him back to the fort. lie was tenderly cared for, but it was many weeks before he recovered; and even then, as lias bcTn truly stated, he ovv;?d his life, under kind heaven, to his extiaordinaiy hardihood, and the wonderful recuperative power of hi body.

Dr. Tanner's fast is calling to mind, savs the Pittsburg Ii.ipaf'-h. parallel cases of long continued abstinence from food in various sections of the country. One of the most wonderful cases on record, in the United States at least, is almost local, having occur red about three years ago near Zanesville, Ohio. About six miles below the city named, on the banks of the beautiful Muskingum river, are located a number of coal mines. In one of these a large force of miners were engaged during the damp fall season of 1S77, when a frightful "cave" of the roof of the main "entry" t.i the mine occurred, the en tire roof caving in for a distance of nearly loo yards. A portion of the gang were en gaged in digging "rooms" between the "cave" and the entry opening. Alarmed by the noise which wa-i akin to rolling thunder in the bowels of the earththese workmen rushed out into the open air, where, with faces blanched and heaits aching with fear, it became known that seven miners were in the entry beyond the "cave," and were sure ly buried alive. The news spread like wild fire, and in a few hours there were hundreds of miners and neighbors on the spot. Will ing hands plied picks and shovels, and hun dreds of tons of coal, rocks, sand and debris were removed By day and night the work went on, none daring to hope that any tme of the seven en tombed victims could be saved alive, but all anxious to recover the dead bodies, that they might be delivered over to the bereaved rel atives. At last, shortly after daylight on the fourteenth day, the terminus of the "cave" was reached, nnd as one of the miners was prying away a huge boulder of coal he sud denly ceased labor, enjoined silence, and ex claimed, "My God, men, I hear a noise! They're alive, they're alive." A shout of joy went up, which was re-echoed at the en trance to the mine, nearly haif a mile away, and women's hearts, the loved ones of the sufferers within, stood still, in ominous fear and joyous delirium of fiopos. The work men within became human giants. They worked as never men worked before, and in 2o minutes seven living skeletons, apparent ly but animated with just enough of life's vitality to mummr thanks to God and man, were dragged through the small opening made and snatched from a living grave. All were weak and tottering, with eyes sunken, faces all contracted, lips blue, and forms bent and doubled. Their voices were scarcely above a whisper, r.nd were husky and un natural, but they wore alive. All except one of them begged for water, and that one, a hardy young Irishman, solicited "a chew of tobacco." Physicians were on hand, but it was found that not a man was injured, all having escaped the falling roof. Their only suffering had been from hunger and thirst, and after being carefully nursed and gradu ally provided with nourishment, every man recovered, and all are living to-day, except one, a one-armed ex-Federal soldier, named Hedges, who, about two months ago, receiv ed such serious injuries, by lioing thrown from a buggy at Zanesville, that he died therefrom. The experiences of these men were simply terrible. All was as dark as night within their prison, their head-lamps (worn in front of their caps) being blown tint by the force of the wind, which came like a great blast toward them when the "cave" took place. One of them managed with a single broken match found in his pocket to relight his lamp, ami nn effort was made to dig out, but ere lung the contents of the several lamps were exhausted, and all hopes were given up. They had no idea of the passage of time, and when told that they had been entomln-d for fourteen days they turned pale with terror at the thought. The on'.y theory or explana tion advanced by the mineis for their singu lar escape is that the "cave" was not air-tight in the entry, and that there were some rock fissures opened bv the fall leading out into the air; but to this oay Uie wives and leil live.s of the men are fixed ami una'iteri'V'-e in their belief that the saving of the men from a horrible death was purely providen tial. ANOT1IKK CASK STII.7. MOTIF. r.F.M AllKAr.LE A FOltTY PAYS VOI.t NTAItY FAST, KOI.LOWF.I) I'.Y HEATH. About the 12lh of July, 170, John French, a son of George French, Esq., of I lagers town, Md , induced by religious monomania, began a fast of forty days and forty nights, abstaining from food of ah kinds, but drink ing fieely of water and occasionally indulg ing in a smoke. He completed the fast on August 21, at which time he was reduced to a skeleton. Dr. Fred. Dorsey was then call ed in, but in spite of the most careful atten tion he died ten days later on the 1st Sep tember. For two or three years previously it had been noticed that the young man had pecu liar views upon various subjects, and espe cially religion and the future state: but it was not surmised that they were imbedded vt-ry deeply, much less to such an extent as to derange his mind. On the contrary, be ing more than usually gifted with intelli gence and acuteness, credit was given him for more than the average reasoning sense. He, however, became fond of reading works on theoretical religion. To such an extent did he become absorbed in some of the mys ticisms that his mind gave way, and while laboring under the misfortune became im pressed with the idea that he had some spe cial religious task to perform which he could not accomplish until after he had fasted fur ty days. Every effort made during that time to induce 1 1 i i ii to eat utterly failed, and those who were in close contact with him all the time say that not a mouthful of food passed his lips. Strategy, after persuasion had ex hausted itself, was resorted to. Tempting fruit and other things were placed in his way and in such manner as to leave the im pression that their presence was unknown to all but himself, yet he refrained from par taking of them in every instance. Of course during this time he became very much ema ciated, looking more l:l;e a skeleton t!'?n a living human being. Nature at leng' li cor.!.! stand the strain no longer, and a few days before the expiration of t'..e forty days lie was fed with great care, but his system had sunk too deeply to recuperate. There are very few who do not believe that French did what he professed to undertake, with the exception of drinking freely of water and smoking considerably. It was pronounced by physicians to be one of the extremely f-w cases of extended fa-ting that has come to the knowledge of the world. "FoUTY-l'AY" MOi:oN AMI HIS FAST.

About the year isto the Pcv. Jalnz S. Swan, now a ictircd Baptist clergyman living here, held a series of religious, or "revival," meet ings in the village of Mystic, a few miles ens of us. The meetings were characterized b intense religious excitement and nightly ad ditions to the ranks of the "converts" swell ed their numler to several hundred. Anion;, those ino-d deeply moved by the rugged elo quence of the evangelist wa Calvin Morgan, who possessed a highly impressional 'e ntv" excitable temperament. which was so vroug ' up by the exciting scenes and incident- -the time that he lieoamc "re!igin-mad" . his clearer-beaded neighbors termed his f tasy, and he went to the extreme of fat ' i -cism. He declared f'at he had receive divine commission to illn-trate the su-tainr power of faith in God by fasting forty daj and nights. Nothing could dissuade bin from his purpose, and he resolutely began his self-imposed fast. At the end of fort; days lie emerged from liis contincnK-iit, w hiel had been in bis own bouse, a haggard, weak and emaciated man. There were many who wen disposed to doubt that he had fasted during all of the appointed time, but lie met them, as woM as tho-e who had r.o doubts, with the solemn declaration t lint for forty days and nights lie had tasted no f.xl of any kind, and that nothing had pased his lip-' except water, of which he had drunk freely and occasionally small quantities of common table salt. His wife affirmed that she had given him no food during the forty days, and the other members' of his household made similer declarations. From that time for ward he has been known all through this sec tion as "Forty-Day Morgan." and, indeed at the present time few know him by an other name. The story of Morgan's fast wa retold in the papers at intervals for years af ter it occurred, and it is now only a tradition among the eople of Eastern Connecticut. At the time lie entered upon his fn-t Morgan lived in Mystic, but his pre-ent residence is Poquonnoc, an r.adjoining village.
