Detestation of hypocrisy is so general that one might marvel at the number o f hypocrites exposed in time, hut for consideration o f the conditions under which hypocrites are developed. When a man o f good reputation begins to go wrong, or to commit sins, he must either avow himself a sinner and pro*' claim his wrong-doing or become a hypocrite. He has no other recourse. Suppose him to be a membero f church,' attentive to his duties and prominent in societies Intended to benefit human­ ity, but that he yields to temptation and commits a crime, violating a trust for example. If,he should now change his habits end live the life o f a crimi­ nal, he would escape being called a hypocrite, hut he would at once call at­ tention to his fall from grace, dud might better coafess his sin and ask to be forgiven. But his Aral thought in­ variably is that ho will reform; to do so he must have time, and lest suspicion should be directed'against him, he be­ comes specially careful of his' reputa­ tion and takes more active interest than, before in church and society duties. ^Emboldened by success in concealing his offenses, thoughts of reform grad­ ually fade away. It is an easy matter to lead®double life, and he is fasci­ nated by the danger o f the sport. And so he continues to appear to be a' moral man, though "inwardly corrupt, until the inevitable exposure comes, and^then his worst offense appears ; h to nft niA hvnnnriftv. Iiiwinn nnns* , . ■ ® ■ , .■ THEBATTLEFIELD. "WE'LL RALLY 'ROUND FLAG.*’ THE How One of the Greatest Sens* of the WarWas Written. During a late year 1 read an account pf the Visit of ® company of confederate officers to the union officers quartered opposite them. They 'went at the in­ vitation of the "blues’’ in response tq the often-expressed interest they had shown in the singing o f onr war songs and in orderto listen to our war music to better advantage. At the close of the performance one of themjexclaimed, '“ No wonder you fellows fought so, with such’music to inspire yon!” That recalled to mind the stojy of the writing of oneof onr most popular war songs—one which has taken its place to stay with .the -grand old melodies given this nation by the revolution. It was told by the author, and this is how it came to be related; A musical convention was in progress in Anamosa, la., conducted by Prof, George F. Iioot, assisted by his young Bon, Fred W. Boot, .then just entering upon his musical career. ’ During the exercises, which consisted almost entirely of singling, he was ac­ customed to vary them by remarks up­ on musical subjects and by piano num­ bers by his son. Late onfe' cloudy after­ noon, during one of these pauses, a re­ quest was made that the professor sing "Bally ’Bound the Flag” for some sol­ diers present. In compliance, he gave out the page where the music was to be found, and, as we sat- waitingfuto sing it with-him, spoke a detaining word to the pianist and stood with his eyes bent upon the floor and pulled his mustache, lost in thought. Looking up at the My friends,; be h s ypoc sy Baco say® “ A bad man is worse when he pretends to be a saint” That is true in one sense, and yet his hypocrisy is in a measure forced upon him. There ore, of course, mean natures fall of de­ ceit from the beginning, but they do not usually make successful hypocrites. Those who appear to be the worst are the men who have been good and are ,, . . reduced to hypocrisy to conceal their J ner clinage of character. They probably suffer at first from qualms of con­ science as they enter upon their life of deceit but this soon gives way as they become familiar with the practice, and very often in the end it is their con­ tempt of danger that leads to their ex- . .. , , . , posare and ruin. What is the remedy? ^ tbC f“ ct’ ®n ° n,° Particular n. Suppose a man of good reputation t o ’l I retired to find that sleep had forsal have committed a wrong whose con­ cealmont will lead to a life of hypocrisy and the temptations which that will before we sing this song let me tell you a little about how it came to be written. “During the war my health was muoli impaired, so much so that I was de­ barred from business and required en­ tire freedom from care and anxiety. It was the cause of a great deal of regret tome th'at at such a time I should be ' laid aside, I wanted to help my enun- hour of peril and need. •I wanted to aid her in that time of dis­ tress. What could I do? .Even busi­ ness was interdicted! I seemed help­ less, possessing tho heart but not the hand to servo her! During' the time that an urgent call for more men was being made I felt especially depressed ight ken my pillow, leaving me to dwell sadly and restlessly upon my powerlessness. “After awhile I thought of the mass bring.

The next evening the glee club sang it at the war meeting, and a large number of men volunteered “ 1 rejoiced and I thanked Cod that 1 had been permitted to give to the peo- plo a song which should inspire them to do so. 1 say I then thanked God, my friends, that I was able to serve my country by stirring up the patriotism that can end only in shame and misery. Tin* sufferings of those who have en­ tered the respect of their fellows and have suddenly lost it are not bo com­ pared with those inflicted by tho rack. Physical pain, however great, may be borne by those who are sustained by moral courage. But mental anguish is i ot hcr 80ns- but in a11 m.v professional more difficult to bear when conscicnco, j lifo 1 bav0 npver been 80 moved as that “doth make cowards of us a ll,"! v/hon, later, I read an account of that arises to condemn us. “ To live j Iowa regiment which, during those a life which is a perpetual false- ; <!rrndful days of the battle before hood is to suffer unknown tortnrcB,” i Vicksburg, went into the fight nine says Victor Hugo, but that can hundred strong and came'out of it only only be true while the hypocrite retains ' three or four hundred, but, clinging to some love o f truth and a desire to be tboir soiled and tattered banner, wore bettor. It is fear of exposure that brings the unknown tortures, and the only sure way to escape exposure is to avoid wrong-doing. The fault that should bo temporary Is never corrected by hiding it away, at least from one’s self. Men who sit in judgment upon themselves and without undue bias keep watchful guard upon their con­ duct may suffer from occasional slips, but are in little danger of entering up­ on a career o f wrong-doing, with it* inevitable accompanlmentof hypocrisy. Hazlitt says that “ tho only vice that cannot be forgiven is hypocrisy. The j right artn in that very battle.” singing: ‘Yes, we’ll rally round tho flag, boys, we’ll rally once again.” “ I felt then that I did not know what thankfulness was before.

I felt i had surely served my country; I----->” his voice faltered. Ife paused long enough to allow an excited voice at tho roar of the room to exclaim: “ Professor, one of those very men is here—Air. Baumgardner. He lost his repentance of a hypocrite is itself, hypocrisy.” . This follows inevitably ' from the very nature of tho vice. It is tho esschce of deceit. Once exposed, no j faith can beputinprofosscdrepcntancc o f a hypocrite, or in his promises o f rc- , form. The exposed hypocrite bacom>s an outcastunworthy o f belief, and if lie has been accustomed to have ltis word accepted, he naturally For a moment tbe transition from that battlefield and its bleeding, sing­ ing actors was startling.

He sat in the saddle w'th a grace and ease pecu­ liarly bis own. All his appointments were in the most correct taste, and his horses were full-blooded animate IVc’ ring highly-polished riding-hoots, coming up nearly to his hips, and wrin­ kled from the instep to the knee, he would go splashing over the roods un­ til horse, rider and hoots were covered with Virginia mod, probably the stick­ iest substance in- existence. .His serv­ ant always had a clean pair o f hoots for the general on his return to quar­ ters after which the man would spend a couple of hours cleaning the other pair. The soldiers at Yorktown used to say that “ Little Mack” could collect more mild in an hour’s time than any other general in the army. McClellan always rode at a slapping pace, and saw that his staff were well mounted, for nothing more displeased him than their inability to keep- up with him. He was very cool on the battle-field,and used to ride from point to point in the calmest manner. Without attempting the cavalry seat or style, McClellan had at alFtimes a perfect command over his charger. His knowledge of horseman­ ship is shown by the invention of the McClellan saddle, the easiest for man or beast ever ihade, . Gen. William Tecmnseh Sherman was a nervous and somewhat careless rider. lie wor<3 his stirrup leathers very long, seeming to be almost all the time standing in the irons. This appear­ ance was intensified by his habit of ris­ ing in his stirrups on. reaching a turn in /the road or some advantageous point of observation: While always careful of his animals, Sherman did not appear to have that fondness for them that is .so common among good horsemen. Ho was constantly on the go and his eye seemed to be everywhere except where his horse was treading. Sherman’s rein was rather a loose' one, for he trusted, apparently, to the natural sagacity of his steed rather than to his own guidance. Seen at the head of a column of troops, or giving orders for their disposition on the field, Sherman presented a remarkable fig­ ure. Riding along the road he was con­ stantly gazing about him noting the lay of tho land passed over,- as if intern­ ally planning how a battle could be fought there. ■ Lieut;-Gen. James Longstreet was magnificent on horseback; His bulky figure •and onoraons beard gave him the appearance of a Colossus, and he, had to have powerful horses to carry his weight through the fatigues of a campaign. Men who fought under liim have told mo that. Longstreet had always a gracious manner, and be was unvarying in the observances of politeness. . He had a swinging scat, ns most heavy men have. I had a glimpse of Gen. Longstreet at Gettysburg. The Third corps had met with a reverse at the right of Little Bound Top. and my corps, the Fifth, ran up from its reverse position to talco the place of Sickle’s men. Through the smoke of tbe battle after \vc had climbed up and retaken Little Bound Top, a brother officer loaned me his glass and pointed out the confederate corps •‘cotmn'ander. Longstreet looked grand, as . lie ' sat calmly on his horse, evidently giving directions for another forward move­ ment, which we were soon after com­ pelled to meet It is related of him that he never seemed flurried in the heat of battle, and issued his orders in the most mattcr-of-fact vyay. He was a horseman and entirely at home in the saddl'*. ; Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker was proba­ bly the best looking mounted officer that ever rode at the bend of a federal army. lie was a true soldier of the old type, had an easy carriage, a firm seat, and sat in the saddle as straight as an arrow.

T hs Swamp Angel was an eight-inch, 200- pounder Parrott rifled gun, mount­ ed by the federal troops in a morass on Morris Island, Charleston Harbor, in 1803. On August 22 and 23 the city of Charleston, five and one-half miles dis tant, was shelled, the gun bursting at the thirty-sixth shot.
