A Ft &alrrel That Wmm Ctr la a IlcaMkaM j-: Strata aaaer. : : "I would give a. thousand dollars," said the sergeant, according' to the In ter Ocean, "if I had carried a kodak during- the civil war. If kodaks had been in vogue then I would now have pictures of the boys as they were. I would have taken snap shots at them as they tumbled out to roll call in the morning, as they went down to the creek to, wash,' as they lounged about eating- breakfast, or as they strove in their awkward way to patch their trousers or darn, their stockings. But, above everything- else, I would have taken snap shots at our army pets. "I never, have been able to give my children a fair idea of my pet squirrel, because I can't make them see it as I see it whenever I think of it. I can make them understand why. I was at tached to the little fellow, because he came to me in battle. We were lying down, awaiting an attack, shielding THE MOST COMPANIONABLE PET. ourselves as well as we could from fly ing bullets, waiting- under a terribly strain.. From the front came 'a storm 3f musket balls, screeching shells and bounding- cannon balls, and to our right and rear roared the thunder of terrific battle going against us. As we lay there, fearing the worst, ready for the worst, a great flock of scared things from the forest came leaping, running t oward us and over us. There were rab bits and squirrels and; all the creatures of the woods and field. Birds were fly ing' low and rabbits and squirrels were acting- as though their eyes- had just been put out. 'tThis was a fearful thing- to see. it seared men more than the bullets com ing from the front. It was so uncanny, to suggestive of disaster, of supernatu ral fear, that mien shivered and were dumb in the presence of the scared ani mals that ran over them or nestled j among them. I felt something run up j my leg, under my overcoat, into the pocket, and felt it squirming- and. throbbing over my own throbbing heart. It was no time to give attention l-o trifles or to give way to sentiment. I lay there like scores of others, ap palled by the noise, by the terrors of the situation, but with my eyes fixed on the lines coming in front. .Like hun dreds of others, 1 shouted in relief and gladness when the order to charge gave us.something to do. "An hour or two of hard fighting fol lowed. Then two or three hours of de sultory firing. In all these hours I never thought of the something in my overcoat pocket, but when I saw the squirrel's ..tail sticking- out of the trousers pocket of a comrade I was moved to inquire as to what I had in my own pocket. I found a full-gTOwn squirrel, with seemingly too little life to care what happened. I put it back in my poeket, and that night as I rested by the side of a comrade I felt it stir. The next morning it acted like a squirrel and, to make a long story short, it became a great pet, not only in our mess and company, but in the regiment. I do not know whether the moment of supreme fear changed the nature of the animal or not, but it was ?asily tamed, and it stuck to that over coat pocket as a refuge, and when I didn't weaF the overcoat it ran into my laversack. "That squirrel became the most com panionable pet we had in the service, but months after that while on the march we were attacked with such fury that there was great confusion in the ranks. In the melee the squirrel dis appeared, and none of us ever saw it again. A dozen of us went back the next day to look through the woods and to call plaintively for 'Skip' in every tone of pleading that a soldier could use. We did not find Skip, but .ve came upon a group of confederates who had apparently been watching our jperations for an hour. We were in their power before we realized that they were confederate soldiers. "Then came a surprise. When we told these fellows of our loss they explained heir presence there by saying they were conscripts who ha a been forced nto the confederate army, and, they were waiting an opportunity to return to their homes in the mountains or go aorth. They abused us for not coming to their part of the country sooner, say ng they had waited for us until the conscript officers of the confederate rovernment came with their strong g-uard and carried them off to fight igaiost the flag. I knew from the way these men talked .they- were aa stanch friends of the union as myself. I have :f ten wondered what became of them. Pay m Toa So. The man who pays well fares the . best.

We look before and after. Our past may kindle inspiration or remorse, accord ing as- we have been faithful or unfaith ful to the best that we knew. Our future may fill us with hope or despair according to our temper of mind, and to our use or Misuse of the past. But of the past and of the future we are not masters; we command nothing but the present. The past is past, the future is God'g, the present alone is ours. We eannot--choose in the past; it is gone, 'and with it 'all power of modifying-if; by the jfree exercise of our will. We cannot choose an the future; we may never see the day to which we post pone our decision; some future cer tainly we shall never see. The pres ent only is the time of choice. It is often said that most men live in the present. In one sense., that is true; in another sense, it would be nearer the truth to say that few men really live in the present in any pro found sense of the word "live" at all. The old man lives proverbially in the past, witlh its memories of the good old times; -the young man lives in the fu ture, when the toils and hardships of the present have won for him means and leisure. We live in any day and every day but the day that is ours, the day that is passing to-day. It is so hard to realize the infinite value of the present day. The nasi, which we think to be so fair, as it lies in the golden light of memory, was once the present. Did we think it fair then.? The future, whose rosy bril liance beckons us across- the years, will one day be the pies-ent. Shall we think it so radiant then? No sane man would dream of despising the pleasures of memory or hope; but the present, with its clamant opportuni ties and its solemn responsibilities, ought to be as inspiring a force in our lives as the past with its memories, or the future with its hopes-. The pres ent, which we think so ccmmonplace, will some day be a past, which we shall probably think beautiful. Why sliouid we not think it beautiful now? This day holds in its bosom the memories of the past and the hopes of the future. But it is greater' than thefuture and the past, for we have it, but we have not theiu. We, then, who arc alive this day. breathing God's air, looking up to Ilis Heaven, have still the pres ent in our hands, therefore let us choose. It is to-day tfiat is the accept ed time to-day, and no other day. Day by day God is pouring upon His thoughtless children His treasure of golden hours. They will pass all too soon away and then? We are yet in the enjoyment of health and strength and unclouded mental vision. Whether our brain will be clear to-morrow, and our pow ers of resolution unimpaired, we do not know. Reserves come like a thief in-the night. The indecision of to-cay jripples the resolution of to-morrow. "It is alwaj s jto-day with Gcd," said Origen but it is not always1 to-day with us. Therefore, while it is called to-day, let us harden not our hearts, buti choose. If we refuse to enter now into the beautiful house in which Christ is .longing to spread His tr.ble before us, there may come a time when the door, will be shut. The importance of choice is obvious, the time tie- choose is to-day. But what are we to choose? The path of service. "We will serve the Lord." The noblest and the rarest choice is the choice of service, and the wisest service is the service of the highest and best. The only choice on which anything really vital ever depends is the choice of that which we shall serve. Serve something we must. We were born to serve. Day by day we have humbly to serve Nature's great and unerring hvws, or she would sweep us outi of existence; and hour by hour, in the problems that cross our path, we are serving God and Christ or our selves if not God or Christ, then our selves. No man is so profoundly the slave of himself as the man who thinks he is his own master. Jesus' choice was the choice of service. "He was in the form of God," sharing His ineffable glory; but "H made Him self of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and waa Bade in the likeness of bm, and humbled Himself, and became obedi ent unto death." That was the hard, rough path that Jesus deliberately chose for us men and for our salva tion; and, as the Father sent Him, so He sends us. on a mission of service to all whom we can help. It is this that gives unity to His life. "I am among you as he that doth serve." And it was He Himself who taught ua that we serve Him by serving those who need our service.
