accused the Spirit-filled apostles with being

otper Scriptures, preached unto them Jesus
and the resurrection in such power that the

Jesus had said that the Spirit would reprove

SOLDIERS’ COLUMN.
“Ain't I Glad I'm Out of the Wilder-
: ness.”
During Gen. Pope’s retreat from Cul-
pepper Courthouse to Manassas, “in
August, 1862, our regiment arrived ut
Rappahannock Station and leisurely
turned up stream, watering our horses,
ascended the opposite bank, formed
ranks facing the river, dismounted,
and, while our horses stood resting,
we lay on the ground watching our
army enter the river and. wade acros's
It was very amusing to see how
gingerly some of the infantry took to
the water. It made us laughto see a
fellow carefully take off his shoes and
stockings, roll up his pantaloons, and
then find that his legs were too short
to keep his pants dry. It was a satis-
faction to see the horses of the cavalry
and mules of the ‘wagon-trains plunge
their heads in and gulp down huge
swallows of water.
We must have remained an hour or
more looking on atthe moving pan-
orama. The head of a cavalry regi-
ment had just entered the ford, and
the first horses were beginning to
dri.k, when from over in the woods
beyond we heard the rebel yell, im-
mediately followed by a tremendous
uproar, amid which we could dis-

29. “For the promise is unto you, and to
your children and to all that are: afar off,
even as 1aany as the Lord our God shail
call.” Peter again referred to the promise
in Joel 1i., 28, which he had already quoted
(verse 17), and probably to such promises as
Isa. xliv,, 8, *I will pour my Spirit upon
thy seed and my blessing upon thine off-

leasure of God to bless and save whole

It was all hidden from us by a dense
growth of bushes along the river bank,
and all we could see was a rush of ex-
cited and frightened cavalry pouring
out of the woods along,» narrow road,
some mounted, some on foot,some with-
out hats'and some evidently wounded.
How they made the water fly. No one
thought of stopping to water their
steeds. Their war cry scemed to be:
“The devil take the hindmost.” Pres-
ently we heard the exaultant yells no
more; two or three volleys of inusketry

Yankee cheer and the hubbub was

little exploit of his connected with the
shooting of sea-gulls, which brought
down upon him the laughter of nearly
the whole regiment, :
A hasty plan was formed by the
boys of Co. D to assume that poor
Perry was dead, and proceeded at once
to hold a wake around his empty bunk
in honor of the departed.
Fortunately we had drawn our al-
lowance of candles that day, for which
the boys were very giad, as it would
be out of the question fo hold a wake
without a goodly array of candles. Ac-
cordingly each one contributed a piece
from his supply until there was enough |
to make'a bright display around the
bunk. It required some patience and
ingenuity to make them stand up re-
spectfully, with no socket whatever to
place them in, but this was finally
managed, and the little jllumiharies
stood erect and in good shape. Mean-
time two sentinels wers stationed out-
side to watch for the missing man and
to give the signal agreed upon should
he approach. Iu lieu of a more gastly
object a gallon jug was found, just the
thing for a wake, which was placed in
the center of the empty couch, while
flared, looking most weird and solemn
in the surrounding gloom.

ears, and in a moment more the whole
line was in motion as they took up the
death march, With bowed heads and
solemn faces the procession moved
down the barracks at the tap of the
muffled drum: and passed in front of
Perry's bunk. At this moment the
defunct man himself appeared in the
door, which was opposite the array of
gleaming candles, and stood for a
moment like a statue, evidently con-

performance within.
It was, however, but for a moment
that Perry was in the dark, and a
glow of intelligence shot over his face
as he took in the situation. The pro-
cession turned and marched again
with slow and solemn tread past the
flaming lignts, and Perry, seeing that
the wake was for his beuefi, and re-
solving not to get entirely “left”, in
the true spirit of solemnity, dropped
his head instantly upon his breast,
and walking slowly up to his bunk,
took of his hat in the most humble

nozzle of the jug, : In another instant
