' Going Into Battle. "What are a man's feelings, when goins Into battle?" Chiefly fear.fl think. It Is au awful demand to make upop a human being to ask him to stand up and be siiot at with rifle ball, grape, cauister and shell; to risk sudden death, or death accompanied by exquisite suffering for hours; to ruu the chance of being maimed for life, an object of pity to friends, and with never ceasing physical and men-r tal pain to one's self. It Is natural for a soldier to shrink from all of this. He lias his private interests, his plans for the ^future, ills wife aad babies, per- baps, and he has no longing whatever for death or sufierlug. During nearly four yoam' service I was in the battles of Donolson, Shiloh, Corinth, Atlanta, tho march to the sea, and the campaigns of South aud North Carolina, under Sherman, and, though L had bdilets cut through my eiothlng, wfts^never wounded, With all this ex­ perience 1 was as badly scared when we were falling Into line to fight the last battle of the war In the pine woods of North Carolina, at Rontons- ville, as when I hoard the first rebel volley aa we rushed up tho hill at Donalson, and if I could have avoided that last esgagement with credit to myself, I wouid have done so as cheer­ fully and readily bs I would the first. Pride, pride, pride is tho quality whichgsustalnB "the soldier, first, last and all the time, in the hour of battle. Love of our country lmpollod him ia the first Instanoe to leave home and friends to endure the hardships and dangers which he knew awaited him, and when the supreme moment comes, when the air is beavy^ w!th the fume* of burning powder, wnen the ground shakes heoeatb Uls (eel frem the wine, being too small for table use. As they contain iron aod other modi- cinal properties, giving the " wiue a / dark oolpr ami body, it has becomw!.^ valuable to physicians, who have . always recommended ft to invalid* r and others, when it could be obtained pure. An article labelled pert wine j Is extensively sold, but is is a danger- ous liquid, and more ; injurious than beneficial, when adulterated with log- •- wood and a hundred other drugs that are used te counterfeit the genuine article. Mr. Speer ataognakea a sped- •• alty of unfermented grape juloe from this Oporto g~r.pe, for cormnunloa purposes, which he reiuos by electric- • ity--areeeot discovery of bis own-- which destroy«f"thd g«rtif tf-ite decide is the cause of fernenta- tlon, and the means by which alcohol; is produced in wines. He also fumi- ^ gates bis barrels with sulphur, and bjr; his process produces a pure, nutricious unfermented wlae, that has neither the taste nor smell of alcohol. HIi » wicee aro sold In Dresden, Vi3uaa and other parts of Europe, aud are recom- - mended by all leading physicians in this country. Dr. Cyrus Edson, sanitary superintendent ef New York City, recommends It as one of the best and purest brands of wiae^that he uses. Doctors D" W. Bliss, of Washington,. | our late President{Garfiold's physician. J. G. AmblOr, A. S. Cozner, aod others , speak of it In tbo highest terms. Mr. ; Speer, while showing Captain fPinchell v through his vaults, brought him to a musty lookiug apartment, from which the cobwebs bung lo such profusloaas to almost impede locomotion. Flore choice wines, thirty years ©id, were sampled from dingy and dirty looking •" bottles. While tastlu." aome tw&<Hy\ years1 old port, Mr. Speer told a »co.-y $ about the late lamented Horace Greelv, who had ceosivod some bottles of Scupernong wine, made from the jiative grape in South Oarollua, w>;»ch £ Mr. Groely asked Mr.Spoor toopea and give his opinion of. Mr. 8peer, la; ; drawing out tbe plugs, as the boitlea .; were stopped with plugs instead of , corks, saw that they were made of ; pitel» pine, aud knew that tUe pitch would destroy the iluvor.
