America. • A vastforest,i overrun with.

Remembered, be the, Christi:isms Day
A hundred years ago,
Among Oswego's snow-clacishills-
And river's winding flow.
Rested waters swept to grandeur by;
With ice encrusted o'er ; .
Deep were the snows;fast whirled the flakes,.
- Fierce was the black pines roar.
A forest wild was all the land,.
With clearings here and there
iientided by bold pioneers',
Who Blazoned not toil nor care.
With axe and beetle, sledge and wedge,
With little time to rest, -
The woodmen wrought their honest road
tie vast trackless West.
Lone, standing on a lofty hill,
Of logs rough hewn there stood
A. cabin, where my grandsire reared
Six children in the NV004.
One room alone was there for all;
In which to sleep- and live;
And corn.and fish were all the Nod..
The grandaire had to give.
•Mid flash of steel and crash of trees
Fast grew the. open space,.
l)ark forest nooks soon changed to day,.
Where ran the red deer's rata). -
Rang. ouathe Merry laughter wilds
As boy i and girls at night •
Piled broih, in heaps and plied the torch
Till heaven reflected light.,
Amid the roar of flame and spark
One tail tree etood unharmed,
11 -here nightly at and hooted long
The owl, all unalarmed.
Rut in the shadows roundabout
The bear and panther prowled,
And when the flames leapedeto the skies,
In anger fiercele- growled'.
m . ,
Reembered be the Christmajs Day,
The first upon the hill, 1
SO harvest bins. the grandsire cheered,
No corn was there to mill.
The logs were °leered for acres o'er,
The ground wae sown withwheat ;
. But in the cabin on the hill
There was no bread or meat.
The grandsire sat that early morn
With face bowed in his hand,
And moaned aloud, a There ie no food
With all my miles of land.
i
T te snows are deep, the villagelar ;
.,The storm goes raging past!
No one can reach the neighbor's hut;
;This Christmas we must fast."
.i
The huegry e.hildren looked aghast,
But grandam tried to cheer;
"Fear oot,', she said, " for God hath feed
For all His children here. :
Rut where went Vede? I lime not seen
My eldest son to -day ;
What if in the deep snow he lies,
Lost from the forest way"
The grandsire leaped from off his seat
His face an ashen hue,
And strode in hate to the wall straPs
To get his rifle true.
Ile stopped amazed_ No gun was there,
Nor powder flask nor ball ;
And springing through the cabin door
He loud -began to call.
The hurricane his deep tones drowned,
The snow beat in his face, .•
Loud o'er the storm the diemenhowls -
of wolves rang through the. piece.
The children wept, the mother prayed
The old man gasped for breath,
"God pity us," quoth he, in fear,
" The wolves will be his death."
h.'
thee a proud stag bounded up
Close by the cabin door,
' When rang a shot and the buck fell
Almost upon the floor ;
And panting through the deep -laid snow
Thrown o'er his ba.ck a bag,
With a. wild turkey in one hand,
Came Vede to claim the stag.
"There's corn all ground," he roared in glee,
a I gotit at the nall ;
And, with this- bird and a big, stag,
I guess we'll have our fillas
t:aressed on every side, the boy
A seat took by the fire,
While grandam clasped, with joyful tears,
The hand of the proud sire.
" Did I not say," ishe gladly eaid,
"That God His'children feeds?
'lath He notsent from his own hand
To satisfy our needs?"
Full soon the turkey roasted red,
With steaks from the wild deer,
And steaming Johnny -cakes supplied
The ea:bat with good cheer.
Itemembered that holiday .
Of the long years ago,
Where roamed the stately Mohican
• By the etrearn "Os we go." •
Long since the forest disappeared,
The red man and wild beast;
But where ahe old log cabin stood
Each Christmas thousands feast.
Two Questions, Answered.
BY AN AMERICA:C. a4ENERAL.• •
'There are, perhaps, no, two questions
mere frequently asked of those who
here been en the battle -field and been
wounded than, " How do yeti feel i
the first fight ?" and " How:do you feel
when yeu are streak?" Now, as to th
firet qaestion, I hold that no man is a
real, coward; bravery is relative to man;
it is characteristic of the American, at
leaet. On of the most -fearful sights I
ever saw was a recruit,: who; :had never
been in the field before, andl.was, at the
filet place.d before heavy fire, so
heavy that it was necessary ; for me t
tell the men to lie dawn. This mem.
was SG tilled with fear that 11:e actuall
scratched the ground with his nails to
dig a hole for himself, the sameas woul
a beast. Reaching over to !him, I.gav
him several .good thumps niith the. fla
of tny sabre, but it had no effect on th
.mao. 1 never saw a man So 'fearfully
.eared. I then took my revelver„ place(
it to his temple,' and threatened to shoe,
him. The fear of a greater and .mor
positive danger—for he believed me t
lie in earnest—operated as an instan
eurq. The man got up, took his rifle
heeeln shooting, and proVed to be one o
;the Most heroic lighters in the battle.
reedllect distiactly my first .experiene
uuder fire It was in South Annrica, i
an orange; grove. Quite a little cannon
adieg was taking place. Suddenly

to my faee to see how much of my hea
n -as left, when to.. my intens.e delight
ft,'rvi that !whet I thought was my on
blood proved to be nothing more than
the juice of some of the stricken fru4
overhead. The incident was a lesson to
me; it proved to me how utterly ridicu-
lous it Was to cry before I was hurt;
and although I have been • in some
heavy firing since, I never felt' any ner-
vousness.
Now, as to the question, " How do
you feel when you are st r Lek ?" Upon
one occasion we were makiag a bayonet
charge, the enemy was close in our front
behind a fence. About twenty feet
away from me was a tree, and happen-
ing to look up in its brapacs, I saw a,
lanky Mississippian deliberately drawing
his bead on me. I fondly hoped he
would miss it, but the net moment I
felt as if I had been struck in the jaw
with a base -ball. I tumbled over with
the shock, picked myself up, shook
myself, felt of my jaw, and found the
shot had there taken effect. Thel pain
was little or nothing; but seemed more
like a blunt, severe blow; and even in
the surgical operation which ensued in
the hospital on the battle field', the
operation was not especially painful. It
is after the shock that the nerves and
sinews seem to be the most painful. In
this instance, the man was so close to
me when he fired that the 3otton wad of
his gun struck my moustache and burn-
ed off a larger portion of it.
