Clay, was killed In the fight at Richmond, and It was my duty to visit the battle field and Identify the body and take It to his father's home. While riding slowly over the scene of the battle I heard groans, which I was sure came from a corn field near at hand. Look ing down the corn rows I soon discov ered two wounded soldiers lying about forty yards apart. One was a federal and the other a Confederate. A can non ball had broken and terribly man- clpd lintli rtt thn PnnffrlfrntA's lirs while the federal was shot through the body and thigh. MAltyf ' T"1!

' . aa if they camo A " I am dying for wat federal say Just as Ills words sounded from a parched mouth " 'I have somo water In my canteen. You nro welcome to drink If you'll come here,' said the Confederate, who had feebly raised his head from the ground to look at his late enemy when ho heard his pitiful cry for water. " 'I couldn't move to snvo my, life,' groaned the federal, as lie dropped his head to tho ground, whllo his whole body quivered with agony. "Then I beheld an act of heroism which held mo spellbound until it was too lato for me to glvo tho assistance I should have rendered. The Confed erate lifted hla head again and took another look at his wounded foe, and I saw an expression of tender pity como over his paln-dlstortcd faco as he said: " 'Hold out a little longer, Yank, and I'll try to come to you.' "Then tho bravo fellow, by digging his fingers into the ground nnd hold ing on to tho cornstalks, painfully dragged himself to tho federal's side, the blood from his mangled legs mak ing a red trail the entire distance. Tho tears ran down my cheeks like rain, and, out of sympathy for him, I groaned every time he moved, but I was lost to everything except tho fellow's hero Ism, and did not once think of helping him. "When tho painful Journey wns fin ished he offered his canteen to tho fed eral, who took It and drank eagerly, the water seemed to sizzle as It passed down his parched throat. Then, with a deep sigh of relief, he reached out to tho Confederate, and It was plain to see as they clnsped hands and looked Into each other's eyes that whatever of hate may have rankled once in the hearts of these men had now given place to mutual sympathy and love. Even while I watched them I saw the Confederate's body quiver as If In a spasm of pain, and when his head dropped to tho ground I knew that hero had crossed the dark river. Tho federal kissed the dead hero's hand repeatedly, and cried like a child until I had him removed to tho hospital, where he, too. died the next day." SIGNS OF T1IK TIMES. From tho Pittsburg Commercial Gazette. Rev. J. II. Lelper, D. D., of Phila delphia preached a timely bermon yes tetday morning In the Union Methodist Episcopal church, Alloehei.y, Rev. M. J.

Among them wero: Tho re fusal of our government and the Indis position of the people to acknowledge tho supremacy of tho Christ in all human nf falrs, Including civil government; the general disregard of law and carelessness in the execution of Its penalties, staling thero had been 10,600 murders, In the Unit ed States in a year, and that one divorce was obtained for every cloven marriages solemnized; tho lluor traffic, which, ho said, had tho nation by tho throat and at the same time was causing tho death of 100,000 ersoii3 annually, and causing tho worse than useless expenditure of many millions ot dollars; (tho threatened blot ting out of tho Sabbath as a day of holy rest. "Pennsylvania," ho said, "had stood In tho foremost of tho battle for tho Sab bath. Her loyal citizens, her supremo court and her governor have stood llko a wall of Are against all assaults of Its ene wles. Not the least among its defenses was tho official attitude of Senator Quay, who. In 1S93, moved as a condition of granting a loan to the Columbian com mission that the gates should bo closed on tho Sabbath, and supported -his mo tion by having tho clerk of tho senato read Exodus, xx., 18, declaring "mat, gentlemen of tho senate, Is tho law.' Honor to whom honor Is due." Dr. Lelper then discussed the coming morning. Ho said: "God is gathering the forces and training them for tho de cisive battlo which will tMrn the tldo of evil backward. Among these forces nro: An aroused and actlvo woman element In all branches of tho church; the mar velous energy of the Women's Christian Temperance union; tho successful work of their secretary, Mrs. Mary B.
