"Mrs. Howe," said James Freeman Clarke, "why do you not write ' some really worthy words for that stirring tune?" 'I have often wished to do so," she replied. Let us tell the story of the writing of the Nation's song as her daughters have told it in the biography of their mot her. "Waking in the gray of the next morning as she lay waiting for the dawn the words came to her. 'Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming cf the Lord " "She lay perfectly still. Line by line, stanza by Btanza. the words came sweeping on with the rhythm of march ing feet, pauseless, resistless. She saw the long lines swinging into place be fore her eyes, heard the voice of the Nation speaking through her lips. She waitf-d till the voice was silent, till the last line was ended; then sprang from bed, find groping for pen and paper, scrawled in the gray twilight the 'Battle Hymn of the Republic' "And so the Nation's song was born. How did it come to pass that the peo ple knew it as their own? When it ap peared in the Atlantic Monthly, it called forth little comment; the days gave small chance for the poetry of words.

A certain fighting chaplain, who had committed it to memory, sang1 it one memorable nipht in Libby Prison, when the joyful tidings of the victory of Gettysburg had penetrated even those prloomy walls. Like a flame the word flashed through the prison. Men leaped to their feet, shouted, embraced one another in a frenzy of joy and triumph; and Chaplain McCabe, standing in the middle of the room, lifted up his great voice .and sang aloud: " 'Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coining of the Lord! Every voice took up the chorus, and Libby Prison rang with the shout of 'Glory, glory, hallelujah!'" A Masterpiece. The Hun officer who had been taken prisoner offered his gold watch in ex change for his life being spared, and, as he insisted on it, the two "Jocks who were his captors were nonplussed. However, one of them said that who ever told the biggest lie was to have the watch, and. if the prisoner could beat them in the story-telling he was to keep the watch. First one Scottie was to tell his yarn, then the German prisoner, and finally the other Scot. The first then started and told a story that was an absurd lie from beginning to end. Then thei r Teutonic captive com menced in slow tones: "There was once a Prussian gentleman " "Here," cried the second Scot with resignation, "that settles It! lveep the watch!'
