SCHOOL COM.

After the Battle. A few raps of the sinking sun shone over the battle field and revealed to gaze the gh&stlp remains of the fray. The booming of eanuon was heard only at intervals. Occasionally the Sharp rattle of musketry sounded along the picket line in the distance. The red glare of the sunset seemed like a reflection from the scene es the battle. . Blue clad fig.ures were moving about among the mangled corpses looking for fASnds and relatives. A little distance to the right a party of soldiers were standing about a newly dug grave. Near by was the body of a regimental officer lying on a rude litter. Tfbe chaplain read a few verses from the bible; the body was lowered into the grave, and the soldiers began to shovel in the moist earth The men who could face death on the field without flinching wept as they plied siipVel and spade to remove forever from view the body of their dear comrade. But if these rough men were moved to tears, what ilioukl be the feeling of a tender-hearted mother far away in the* North? Before the soldier's task was done, darkness as if shamed by the dread- • ful works of man settled over the field. Lanternsmoved about in the gloom. The pickets walked slowly to and » fro guarding the army* from attack. The soldiers to whom sleep were allowed lay upon the ground undisturbed by the groans of the wounded or the occasional booming of artillery.
