(Title) THE BATTLE-OMEN 00000100
The Latest Incident of this nature is said to have occurred on a cold, 00000200
bright evening, during the winter that preceded the first actual 00000300
hostilities in our great War. Two young men were returning from 00000400
one of those military meetings, which the aspect of the times had 00000500
rendered common throughout the country, and in which their education 00000600
and active talents had given each of them a degree of authority. 00000700
Their path lay over the frozen surface of a lake, extending two or 00000800
three miles between the northern and south-western shores. Behind 00000900
the travellers was the village from which they came,--a few dark 00001000
houses in distant visibility upon the snow, and the white spire of the 00001100
Church as strongly relieved against the sky; before them, and at still 00001200
a greater distance, appeared . . .
