But what of those men who now fearfully and silently, are contemplating how they may avoid, by perjury or any means that will not harm their mortal lives, the imminent danger which goes with battle? If they are alive in twenty years, will they face the memory gladly of that which they might have done, and left undone? Will they find the life they have lived so all surpassing lovely? And they, the very cowardly, will they...
