Christie, of ^sorth Carolina, fell mortally wounded at the battle of Gettysburg, while gallantly leading his men against the enemy’s breastworks. He was taken to Winchester, where he was nursed tenderly until his death. He longed to see his young wife—his darling Lizzie—but when she reached Winchester, he was dead. His last words were. “Kiss me for Lizzie.”—Extract from a Letter. “The bravest are the truest— The loving are the daring.” I am dying. Is she coming ? The window open wide. Is she coming?
