Let me tell you a story of To-Day,--very homely and narrow in its scope and aim.

Not of the To-Day whose significance in the history of humanity only those shall read who will live when you and I are dead.
We can bear the pain in silence, if our hearts are strong enough, while the nations of the earth stand afar off.

I have no word of this To-Day to speak.

I write from the border of the battlefield, and I find in it no theme for shallow argument or flimsy rhymes.

The shadow of death has fallen on us; it chills the very heaven.
