GENERAL GORDON frequently

"Oh! ask not thou, how shall I
bear
The burden of to-morrow?
Sufficient for the day its care,
Its evil and its sorrow;
God imparteth by the way
Strength sufficient for the day."
Lower left newspaper clipping:
THE VOICE OF THE MIGHTY DEAD.
Children of England, I hail ye ; the Lion-heart still beats,
Mightily as of old in the thousands that throng your streets ;
The Lion-heart calls to lion-hearts---calls to his kin to-night---
Come forth, come forth : for the holy cause that I smote for, smite !
Smite for the ruin of those that, speaking the Sacred Name,
Stood by with a laugh while the holy places arose in flame !
Smite like men or be crushed by Tyranny's iron heel !
Smite as I smote till the
nous horse and his rider reel !Avenge ye the sacred rui
ere satyrs in helmets roam---The holy of Holies said w
e, avenge ye the burning Home !Lower right newspaper clipping, photo of a dark horse with a blaze, wearing a bridle
"Donegal," Lord Robert's charger and companion
on many merry gallops
