Strength of Greek Soldiers.
The physical superiority of the
ante Alexandrian Greeks to the hard
iest and most robust nations of mod
ern times is perhaps best, ilhistr.it.ed
by the military statistics of Xenophon.
According to the author of the
“ Anabasis,’’ the complete accoutre
ments of a Spartan soldier, in what
we would call heavy marching order,
weighed 75 pounds, exclusive of the
camp, mii.ing and bridge building
tools, and the rations of bread and
dried fruit which were issued in
weekly instalments, and increased
the burden of the infantry soldier to
90, 95, or even to a full 100 pounds.
This load was often carried at the
rate of four English miles an hour
for twelve hours per diem, day after
day ; and only in the burning deserts
Of the loves and sorrows blended, *'
Every year; - ■ , „
Of the joys of friendship ended, ,
Every year;
Of the ties thyt still might bind me
Until Time to Death res'gned me,.
My infirmities remind me,
Every year.
Oh1 how sad to look before me,
Every year.
Wliile the cloud grows darker o’er me,
Every year;
Wr.ei* we see the blossoms faded
That to bloom we might have aided,
And immortal garlands braided,
Eveiy year.
To the past go more dead faces
Every year.
Coni'* no new ones in their places,
Every year.
Everywhere the sad eyes meet us,
In the evening’s dusk they greet us,
And to come to them estreat us
Every year. ,
“ You are growing eld ” they tell us,
“ Every year* i
“ You are more alone,” they tell us,
“ Every year.”
“ You can win no new affection,*. ’ **
You have only recollection,
Deeper sortow and dejection
Every year.”
Ttuuk Goi; no clouds are shif ing, g
Every year,
O’er the land to which we’re drifting
Every year
No loases there will grieve us,
Nor loving faces leave "s,
Nor death of friends bereave us, .

An „amjisiug incident qccurred
during the tonr over tiie battlefield
at Gettysburg oa decoration day.
Tfie dozen carriages in which the
party were riding were at one time
massed in the road a round the
President’s carriage, in which stood
I Babchdder, explaining the sittta'i-.n.
’Down the road came a 'rickety old
stage with horses at full gallop, and
the driver yelled oat, “Gimme the
road.” Two or three of the citizens’
committee of escort ran to interrupt
him, hut he slammed right into the
President’s carriage and attempted
to force it off the road. One of the
committee remonstrated with him.
saying that the gentleman in that
carriage was the President of the
United States. “ I don’t care a
who it is,” he replied, “ I’ve got
United States mtil here, and I’m en
titled to the road, and if lie don’t
hack his d d team out of there,
I’ll run ’em down.’’ There was no
use in trying to persuade him, s<> the
President’s carriage had to be backe 1 j
into trie ditch, and the stage went |
through. After the man had passed,
the President remarked : “ I’d ha ve
to speak to Key about that mail
carrier, when I get hqnie. lie is
jealous of the rights of his depart
ment, and ought to be promoted.’’
