' TIIE WIRE FENCE
AI^AN JUAN.
By .1.  K. Cli

N every war HDine of tlm liraviiKt of llio brave, who ilii lice,Is wi,rlliy of jirniHe, n r u uevei- kiuiwii lij unuie. This is true ia an cs|iei;- ial way of the late war. In tbe calm days uf the truoo that followeil tho hard fl.i^htiug at CoiiuT, nud ou the San Juan ridge of the Urst of July, I heard tunny com¬ pany coiumnuders tell stories of tho intrepidity o( thu "wire.cutters" — soldiers wliii aro eriuipped with in- Htritineuts adapted to cut tho barbed- wire fences which abound in Cuba.
Mauy C'linpuuIeK and vegiiueutH were inextricably lui.xed up in the udvauce through the death-swept woods ou the Han .Tuau Kiver, aud it ofteu happened that when a company commander called for a wire-cutter to come forward, he did not know who the soldier wa.s tlmt uuKwured him, and there was neither time nor opportitiiily to Hud out.
This wirecntler worke,l almost al¬ ways at the imminent risk of his life. The barbed-wiie fence was well calcu¬ lated to delay the mlvanco of n power¬ ful force. KuuietiiueK Ihc fence was a fortification; sometimes it was merel.y the aocideutnl boundary uf nn old Held or an estate, lu either case, tho wires were looped loo.soly from the posts so that, as a rule, uo aie or nincheto oould separate them by a blow at tho post. They were in a drooping tangle which uo two hands could separate to enable a man's body to pass through, ami tbe wirea wer^ invariably so high that no one could vault over them.
These defttuoes always compelled a bnlt. Commonly, nothing serve,1 to open tho way except the heavy shear- like iiuplemeiith known as wire-cut¬ ters, with which a wise provisiou had furnished every regiment of the Amer- icau regular iiiiuy. Tho man who carried these wire-cutters had a more important ollloe than tho eolor-ser geant, for the colors uro seldom car¬ ried iuto battle. If ho were disablcl and loft his wire-cutters behind him, bis coiupauy might bo detained for a long time nt the cost of many lives.
A terrible instance of the ofTective- ness of this defence occurred in tho open Held at thu base of tho Siiu Juan hill, before Suntiitgo. Here a barbed fence forced whole regiinenta to halt iu the face nf a withering lire of Spau- isk musketry.
In the ttre-swept zone ofthoMnuser or KragJorpcnseu rille, tt is no cow¬ ardice for s,,|>liera to lie down, or, wheu an advance is lo be mitlo, to run in n crouching position. In,Iced, tho men arc comiiiaudcl to do ao, und ofteu rebiikcl by theit comrHilcs wh,'ii they stand too erect. N'enrly all the men who marched through the belt ,,f Avoods au<l the open meadow that lay iu front of the Spanish position oU the S»n Juan ri,lge, ha-l lain on the groun,! aud advaucc'l by a series of these crouching rushes, until they were yery much mud np.
Hattalions ami companies became intermingUil, for it is impossible to keep proslrale or clenching regiuieiita iu even lines, an,) ve-iiiforcemeiitH were pushing up speclily from the vesr II was n,>t from deiuoialiaiation that the troop.H were miieil up, but from the vny rapi.lily of their a,l vauce. and because the regiments were kept too close together to enable them to more iu ettended order wilhoat be¬ coming inleriiiinglod.
When the f,,remojt oiflcets cmuei-ul from the Sun .luaii woo.Is upon the bi„a,l meadow which lies at the f,„« of the wiiKliug ri,lge where Ihe Span¬ ish were eiitreucl\e,l, lliey lonml them¬ selves iu a hotter lite than everof bul- lets aud bursting shelU. The order was to ckarge the hill.
The iuea,l»w grnss waa tall and thick, and hero and there were little clumps of thoruy bui-hes, bnt these were nothing to a high liarl-ed wire faure, vhieb stretched right acr,"^ the Hal
When tho ilisovdered soMiers reached tbis fence they had t,i pause- Then they dropped like pins iHinle.i over by a ball The Spauiar,ls ba.i the range of the entanglement |>erfectlT. Our men were nniier a trebly sexere fir*. It was enough to pnt brave sol- «U*r» !<' ^=zt. '.;=t set ..=.-. ..iDii'.i Americaa company was routed.
"Forwaid the viirt-cutter»: liight bare witii the wire-cutters!" shouted Ih* cumpauy commao,Iers. S<> mauy oao«es ba,I already fallen thai cap la^BS were comman,Uug battalions. ltd lieuteuauts—often second lien- loaots, and roinetiiues boys hastily i^adaated from West ToiUt in May laat—wara rumiuandiDx cumpaoiee.

pressing forward without an officer to lea,I them.
Then tbe Boldiers with the wire- cutters had an opportunity. I'mier the terrible Bre, with their comrmles lying or crouching behind them, they stepped forward, aud with steady hands and string wrists cut the loose strands of wire one by one, snnti'hcl thera to oue side, aud made a breach iu the fence,
Ko many instances of this cool bravery on the part of men were t,,ld to me after tbe tight that they blend themselves in my mind in one scene. Captain Charles Byrne, of the Sixth, however, told me a story which dit fered from the rest.
Wheu ho came to the wire fence with his company, which was one of tho yery fir.st to get across the meadow, he found uo breach—and the man with the wire-cutters )iad disappeared; but Providence seemed to have (iro- vided a means of getting through.
I'j the woods the comiiany bad been joined by a big Cubtn with a machete and gun. The Cuban was rushing bravely on, firing aud leading the way. Few Americans coul,I tell from wliich direction the Spani.sh fire came. Bul¬ lets and shells Heemed to coino from all directions, (ieuerol olliccra were doubtful which way to turn. This Cuban knew better than any American iu what direction the Spanish position lay. It was by his help that Captain Byrne's compauy was among the first to clear Iho woods, aii,l ho advance towar,! the Spanish blockhouse.
But the barbeil-wire fence barred the w.iy. Could tho Cuban cut it with his machete? II seemeil impossible to sever loose wire which would nag beneath a blow.
But this Cuban had cut barbed wire before. Coolly picking out tho straightest post that was near, be stoo,l beside it, lifted his mochelc high nbovu bis heail, and struck downwar,! with nil bis Alight close against the post. One wire nits severe,I, then the next, in the same cool niiy, 'I'lio Ciibau di,l uot allow himself to hurry nor to get excited. If one of his blowshadfaileil for want of a steady hand and n sud¬ den, swift stroke, ho might have been uuable to open a breach; but no blow- failed. He drew Iho severed wires oway nml opened a length.
Then Captain Byrne ordered his company through the breach in column of tw-op, ami put them at double-riuick, and led them claniberiug to the very top of the hill. All the way the big Cuban went with him. The ca]duin noliceil him at the very s!tmmit; ther he saw him no more.
Neither the enptaiu nor any one else iu his componynoriii the wliob'.-Vnieri can army ever knew who this brave Cuban was, ilor how ho came to be lighting among Amerii-an troop.', noi where ho went w-Hen tho chnrgo was over; but all who saw him knew tlmt he had iierformed a service of great value, all for tbo love of hi.-i country, and without the hope or jirospect of reward, distinction or commeudutiuu. —Youth's Comtianiou.

It Is also most Interesting to not* tbat tha lllblo begins wltb a marriage la Bdaa aaA' ends with the marriage of Ihe Lamb, aaa the tirst miracle wrought by tbe Lamb el tied was at this marriage In'Cana. ,

One at taa very llrst Institutions lu tba Serlnlana,; and the on* that expresses moat tuily oar oneness with God and with Citrtst, tha one also that shall usher In the fflorloai' - kingdom on tha earth. He said ot lacaeL "I am married unto you " (Jar. 111., M), and nt us wbo now ballavs In Him tt li said that wo ar« marrlsil to tbe Lord that wa should bring forth trult nato Ooil (Koin. vIL. 4.) -Phe words uaad by Jtdattt concerning Kve In Otn. 11., 113. M, are aiall tn reference to C^hr^ uud tba ahurch ta;" Eph. v.. SO-32, and iu Heb. illL. 4, It total*' ' that marriage Is honorable In all, ;
3. 'And whan they wanted wlae tha mother  ot  Jesus   salth unto   Him, Thajf'
wine.-' Thera Is a waDt~li»ia# at this marriage—tbey have not eaoailll ot, wine. Whether mora people bad eatta! than tbey had expected or whether ftoaia' one bad been mistaken In the quaatllyj needed we are uot told. - .
4. "Jesus saItU unto bar; Wmaaa,' what have I to do with thee? Mine noar Is not yet come." There Is neither aa* kindness nor auy lack of eourteay ta tUt' wor,l to Ills luolhsr. Tbere could aot ha,' tor Cod Is love, and love ts kind, aad Ma was Ood manifest In the flesh. He fir- tually said at least this—' will see to It at* the right time. The Lordlsa Ood ot Ja4i.' ment or discernment; blessed are all tha#,. that wait lor Htm (Ua, XXX., 18). '
.5,'Ills mother aiilth unto the serraat*,' Whatsoever He saltb unto you, do II." Thus sh* placed the matter In His haadt aud ipWetly left It there, Hhe direeted Ika' servants to Him tor all further laitniotlwl and withdrew from all lurtber reepaaat-i blllty. Rhe knows It will be atteaded to,! and she leaves ll. Do we thus oaM«<r«vi cure upon Him, every burden nsd aaxttCrJ and quietly leave It with Him? We.arai*|, minded ol Pharaohs won! to the Bflva- tlans, Uo unlet Joseph; what be aalth 10 you do.
(>. "And there were set there all watac pots of stone, alter tbe manaer ot tha purifying ut the Jews, eontalntog two or' three llrklus apiece." The pots wereert-l dautly empty, judging from tbeaexfrena. When tbe Lord would uau veasels In whleh' to show Ills power. He reqajtea amrity; vessels. When He would pay tbe wIdoWl debt, she was told by the prophet to hOr* row empty vessels, uot a few, and aaloac- us there was an empty yessel tha oU' - flawed to ail It (II Kings lv„ 3).
7, "Jesussaltb unto them. Fill tbe watar pots with water, and they filled theai Sp to the brim." Now His boar Is aboat come In wbloli He will on this oeeaaloa glorify the Father, and He tellstheterraat* what to do. It la always His tooomaaad;' It Is ours simply to obey. From watav everything bas come, tor lu Oan, I., 1, Wo' see nothing but water. In tbe first soTeK chapters of this gospel tberu Is much to ho learned from the use ot this eloinent, Za Eph. v., 36, It li an einblon-. ot the werda by wiileh we are cleansed,
*, "Aud He salth unto them, Draw oat now and bear unto the govsroor ot tha feast. And they bare It," Tba Hon ot Maa enme to minister unto others (Hath. SS.. 28), and He permlu us to be the btaroit •) Hlfl bounties. As He permitted tbe twalva to hear thu bread and llsb wbieU He maltt- piled to the hungry thousands and thtsa servants to baar HIS wlue to Ihe goreraac ol the feast, so He permits us to liaar tha., living bread aud water and His lore, whlah is better than wlue, to all wbo will reodta It,
9. "When tbe ruler ot tbe teait had taittd thn water that was made wine and knew not whence il was (but tbe servant* Whieb drew the water knew), tbe governor ot t^o teast called tbo lirldegrooin." 'I'b* watai was made wine. He did It, aud whether It ^ be liythe process ot the vine and thsgrapaa or ,llrectlv, as lu this case, ll la all eqaall|r easy to Him, He Is the vine; He Is tbetrtta , wine tbat maketit glad tbe heart of man. Not a cup of colli water shall lose lis re- ,, war,!; therefore those who givsmueb water uotv shall liars much wlue or joy la this kingdom.    We are the aarlhnn vessals.aad
It wolllltham uptothe briinwitb tbe watar ot Ills word Ha will change tt to wine la us, and we shall be full of Joy, The mora sorrow tor Ills sake now, the more Joy wa shall have hereafter. i
10. "Aud salth uuto blm. Every maa al the begluntng doth set tortb good wlaa und when men bare well driinV then Ihat which Is worse, but thou hast kept tha good wine until now." Then it was aao4 wine, the best nt wine, whieb our Lord Jesus made. This testimony la from tfea ruler of the least, not knowing wbeaea tha wlue came. He only make* the beat ot everything; that which man make* la nlwuys Inferior. If, as one has said, Ha keeps His best things for Ihe tew, it to aot bmiause He Is not willing to g|y« Hto bMI to many, but rather because only tha l»w, are willing to receive tbem.
n. "This beginning of mirselea did Jesu3 In Oaua of Oallles and manlia(t«4 tortb His glory. And His dlaelple* he- llered In HIni." This was Ills first air- aole; therefore all the apocryphal tales ol Ihe miracles nt His nhlldhood cannot b* ' true. Ha manifested Mia glory. Howf By changing water Into wine or by point¬ ing onward, as in the tranaflguralloa, to tho time of His kingdom and glory whaa as He said at the lust passovsr (Luke tt). Ha would not drink again ot Ihe frnlt ot the vine until He would drink il anew la the kingdom. Ills glory must be assoolated with HlH kingdom.
