The wound was examined by a physician
Dr. Burleigb, who at once saw its fatal char

''Doctor bow la it with mc?"
"I am afraid, general, tbe shot will prove
fatal."
After but a moment's pitisu tbe general
rospooded: "All right. Ify time has
come I am ready lo go. Ed. McCooke dies

From this time, 10 o'clock, tbe wounded
man suffered muob pain until I o'clock in

before was in sound health sud v,jor ot
life so sudd nly pass away, and lo think
tbat after having gone through liulf a hun
dred battles almost enscatbed, be should
fall ia such an iunemlnioua encounter
Even the strongest men present wept and
sobbed like cuildren.

Bright flowers are sinking,
Streamlets are eht inking,
Now the wide forest is withered setc;
Light clouds are flying
Soft winds are sighing;
We will be thoughtful, for autumn is near.
