IN A SOLDIER'S POCKET.
A Ft &alrrel That Wmm Ctr la

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.

least, in the visible world, taking part
in its social or political affairs, nor
in the visible church, sharing- her
struggles and aspirations. 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. "Inasmuch as ye
have done it unto one of the least of
these my brethren, ye have done it
"unto me."
