DEFEAT—INCIDENTS OF THE BATTLE.
BY MAJOR GENERAL D. N. 0013011, ,
Commanding Second Army Corps.
[Concluded]
'At half-past two that afternoon the Second
Corps’ lines were assaulted by artillery and
infantry. Just previous to Jackson’s attack
on the right a deeperate effort was made by
Lee's people to carry the left at Mott Run,
but the men who held it were there to stay.
Hooker, desirig to know the enemy’s
strength in front of ihe Twelfth Corps, ad-
vanced Slocum into the thicket, but that Offl-
cer found the hostile line too well defended
for him to penetrate‘it and was fdiced‘to re—
call the attacking party. When night put an
end to the fighting of » both combatants
Hooker was obliged to form a new line for
his right flank perpendicular to the old one
and barely half a‘ mile to the right of Chan—
cellorsville. Sickles was retired with the
two columns from his advanced position in
the afternoon to near where Pleasenton had
had his encounter before mentioned, some
distance to the left of the new line of our
right flank and close up to the enemy. The
position was thought to be a very critical one
by General Hooker, it being simply a strong .
body in front of the enemy, but without
supports, at least in any vicinity that could
be used for that purpose. At the same time
it was a menace to Jackson’s right wing or
flank. Before midnight some of, the latter’s
enterprising men pushed forward and actu-
ally cut off Sickles’oline of communication
with the army. When this news was-carried
to Hooker it, caused him great alarm, and
preparations were at once made to withdraw
the whole front, leaving General Sickles to
his fate, but that'offlccr showed himself able
to take care of his rear, for 'he ordered after
a little while a. column of attack, and com.
munication was restored at the point of the
bayonet.
Gen. Hancock, in his testimony before the
same committee previously quoted, stated:
But about midnight or after, May 2—3, 1
was awakened by General Couch, who told
me that we were ordered to withdraw, I
suppqsed to some new position, and that the
Second Corps was to form the rear guard.
But at daylight, just as the movement was
to commence, as I understood,General Couch
informed me that no movement would take
place, that we were going to remain there
and fight a battle.
altoxsox’s PERILOUS srrnsrrox,
The situation of Jackson’s Corps on the‘
morning of May 3 was a desperate one, its
front and right flank being in the presence of
not far from twenty-five thousand men, with
the left flank subject to an assault of thirty
thousand, the corps of Meade and Reynolds,
by advancing them to the right, where the ~
thicket did not present an insurmountable
obstacle. It onl y required that Hooker brace
himself up to take a reasonable, common-
sense view of the state of things, when the
success gained by Jackson would have been
turned into an OVcrwhelming defeat. But
Hooker became very despondent. I think
that having been outgeneraled by, Lee had a
good deal to do with his depression. After'
the right flank had been cStablished on the
morning of the 3d by Sickles getting back
into position our line was more compact,with
favorable positions for artillery, and the re-
serves were well in hand. Meade had been
drawn in from the left-and Reynold’s had
arrived with the First Corps. The engineers
were, however, directed to lay out a new
line, its front a half mile in rear of Chancel
lorsv1lle, with the flanks thrown back, the.
right to the Rapidan, a little above its junc—
tion with the Rappahanuock, left resting on
the latter river. The Eleventh Corps, or at
least that pOrtion which formed the line of
battle, was withdraWn from the front and
sent to the rear to reorganize and get its.
scattered parts together, leaving the follow-
ing troops in front: One division of the
Second Corps on the left from Mott Run to
Chaucellorsville, the Twelfth Corps holding
the center and right fiank,aided by the Third
Corps, and one division of the Second Corps
(French’s), on the same flank, the whole
number in front, according to my estimate,
being thirty—seven thousand men, the First
and Fifth Corps 'in reserve, thirty thousand,
and, placing the number of reliable men in
the Eleventh Corps at five thousand. it wil-
be seen that the reserves nearly equaled those
in the line 'of, battle in front. '
AFTER THE MISIIAI’S.
After the day's mishaps‘ Hooker judged
that the enemy could not have spared so large
a force to move around his front without
depleting the defenses of- Fredericksburg.
ccordlngly, at 9 p. m., an imperative order
was sent to the commander cf the left wing
to cross the river at Fredericksburg, march
upon Chancellorsvillc and be in the vicinity
of the commanding generalat daylight. But
Sedgwick was already across the river and
three miles below Fredericksburg. It was
11 p. m., May 2d, when he got the order,and
twelve or fourteen miles had to be marched
over by daylight. The night was moonlight,
but any ofiicer who has had experience in
making night marches with infantry will
understand the vexatious delays occurring if
the road is clear; but when, in' addition,
there is an enemy in front, with. a- line of
fortified heights to assault,tlle problem which
, Sedgwick had to solve will be pronounced as
impossible of solution. However, that ofliccr
set his column in motion by flank, leaving
one division that lay opposite the enemy,
who were in force to his left. Themarching
column, being continually harrasscd by skir-
mishers, did not arrive at Fredericksburg
until daylight. The first assault upon
the heights beyond the town failed. At—
tempts to carry them by flank movements
met with no success. Finally a second
storming party was organized and the series
of works were taken literally at the bayonet,
though at heavy loss. It was then 11 a. m.
The Column immediately started for Chan—
cellorsville. being more or less, obstructed by
the enemy until its arrival near Salem
Heights, five or six miles out, where seven.
brigades under Early, six of which had been
driven from the defenses of Fredericksburg,
made stand in conjunction with supports
sent from Lee’s army before Chancellorsville.
This was aboutthe‘middle of the afternoon,
rhea Sedgwick’in' armaments the en em'y' .
.lllaine battery belonging to his corps.
1y compelled to withdraw those in advance
and look to his own safety by throwing his
own flanks so as to cover Banks? Ford, the
friendly proximity of which, eventually sav
ing this wing from utter annihilllation.
. THE FIGHTING on THE 'rlllr'm.
At about ‘5 a. m., May 3d, fighting was
begun at Chancellorsville, when the Third
(Sickles’) Corps cdmmenced to retire to the.
left of our proper right flank, and all that
flank soon became fiercely engaged, while
the battle ranAalong the whole line. The
enemy’s guns on the heights to our left, as
well as at every point on the line where they
could be established, were vigorously used,
while a full division threw itself on Miles, at
Mott Run. On the right flank our guns
were well handled, those of the Twelfth
Gorp's being conspicuous, and the opposing
lines of infantry operating in the thicket had
almost hand—to—hand conflicts, capturing and .
recapturing prisoners. The enemy appeared
to know what he was about, for pressing the
Third Corps vigorously, it was forced back.
when he joined or rather touched the left of
Lee’s main body, making their line continu—
ous from left to right. Another advantage
gained by this success was the pOssession of
an open field, from which guns covered the
ground up to the Chancellorsville House.
Upon the south porch of that mansion Gen.
Hooker stood leaning against one of its pil-
lars, observing tllc fighting, looking anxious
and much careworn. After the fighting had
commenced I doubt if any orders Were given
by him to the commanders on the field,
unless, perhaps, “to retire when out of am—
munition." None were received by me nor
were there any inquiries as to how the battle
was going along-my front. On the right
flank, where the fighting was desperate, the
engaged troops were governed by the corps
and ivisionleaders. 1f the ear of the com-
mon lng general was strained to catch the
sound of Sedgwick’s guns, it could not have
heard'them from the continuous uproar that
filled'the air around him; but as that Gen-
eral, who was known as a fighting Officer,
had not appeared at the time set—daylight—
nor for some hours after, it was conclusive
evidence that he had met with strong oppo-
sition, showing that all of Lee’s army was
not at Chancellorsville and the moment was
favorable to try his opponent’s strength with
every available man. ,Moreover the left wing
might at that very time be in jeopardy,there-
fore he was bound by every patriotic motive
to strike hard for its relief. If he wOuld
remember Mr. Lincoln’s injunction: “Gen—
tlem‘en, in your next fight, put in- all your
men,” the face of the day would’ have been
changed and the field won for the Union
arms.
LACK or AMMUNITION.
Not far from half-past eight the headquar-
ter pennants of the Third and Twelfth Corps
suddenly appeared» from the right in the
open field of Chancellorsville; then the Third
began to fall back, it was reported, for want
of ammunitioii, followed by that portion of
the Twelfth, fighting on the ~same flank, and
the division of the Second Corps on its right.
It is not known if any efforts were made to
supply the much needed ammunition to the
Third as well as the Twelfth Corps, whose
ammunition was nearly used up when it
retired. My impression is that the heads of
the ordinance, as well as of other important
departments, were not taken into the field
during this campaign, which was most un-
fortunate, as the commanding general had
enough on his mind without charging it with
details.
The open field seized by Jackson’s old
corps after the Third Corps drew Off was
shortly after dotted with guns, that made
splendid practice through an opening in the
wood upon the Chancellorsville House and
everything else, for that matter, in that
neighborhood.
SEARCHING r01: HOOKER.
Hooker was still at his place on the porch,
with nothing between him and Lee’s army
but Geary’s Division of the Twelfth and
Hancock’s Division and a battery of the
Second Corps. But Geary’s right was now
turned and that flank was steadily being
pressed back along hislentrenched line to the
junction of the plank and turnpike roads,
when a cannon shot struck the pillar against
which Hooker was leaning and knocked him
down. 'A report flew around thathe ,was
killed. 'I was at the time but a few yards to
his left, and, dismounting, ran to the porch,
not finding him or any one else, but the shat-
‘tered pillar was there. Hurrying through
the house, finding no one, my search contin—
ued through the back yard all of the time
running and thinking, “If he was killed,
what should I do with that disjointed army?"
Passing through the yard I came upon him,
to my great joy, mounted, with his staff also
in their saddles. Briefly congratulating him
on his escape—it was no time to blubber or
use soft expressions—I went about my own
business. This was the last I saw of my.
commanding general in front. The time, I
reckon, was from 9:15 to 9:30 a. m. ; I think
nearer the fprmerthan the latler. He prob—
ably . left the field soon after his hurt, but
neither notified me of his going nor did he
give any orders to me whatever. , Having
some little time before this seen that the last
stand would be around the Chancellorsville
t-louSe, I had sent to the rear for some of the
Second Corps batteries, which had been
ordered there by the commanding general,
but word came back that they were so jam-
med in with other carriages that it was im:
possible to extricate them. Gen. Meade,
nearing of my wants, kindly sent forward a
I
wish I could recollect its name; it was
posted in the rear of the Chancellorsville
House, where the United States Ford road
enters the thicket. With such precision did
the artillery of Jackson’s old corps play upon
this battery that all of the officers and most
of the non-commissioned officers and men
were killed or wounded. The gallant Kirby,
whose guns could not be brought up, was
mortally wounded in the same battery that I
had for the lime placed him in command,
and a corps commander had his horse killed
under him as he was trying to get some men
[0 train a gun on the flank of the force then.
pushing Gea'ry’s Division. The enemy, hav-.
ing thirty pieces in position on our right,now
advanced some of his guns to within five or
six hundred yards of the Chancellorsville
House, where there were only four of Petit’s
Second Corps guns to oppose them, making
a target of that building and taking the right
of Hancock’s'Division in reverse, a portion
of which had been withdrawn from its
entrenchments and thrown back to the left
to meet the enemy, should he succeed in
forcing Mott Run. This flank was stoutly
held by Colonel Miles, who, by the by, had
been carried off the field shot through the
body. Lee, by this time, knew well enough
if he had not before, that the game was
sure to fallinto his hands, and accordingly
plied cvcry gun and rifle that Could be
brought to bear on us. Still, everything was
firmly held, excepting Geary’s right, which
Was slowly falling to pieces, for the enemy
had his flank, and no help for it. Riding to
that General’s left I found him there dis~<
mou‘nted,with sword swinging over his head,
walking up and down, exposed to a severe
infantry fire,. when he said: “My division
can’t hold this place; what shall I do i” To
which I replied: “I don’t know, but do as
We are doing, fight it out.” ‘

Fifty pieces of artillery,or even forty.brought _
matched the thirty guns to the right, which
were pounding us so hard; But it is a waste
of words to write what might have been
done. Hooker had made up his mind to
abandon the field, otherwise he would not
have allowed the Third and part of the
Twelfth Corps to leave their ground for want
of ammunition. A few minutes 'after my
interview with Geary a staff officer from‘
General Hooker rode up and requested my
presence with that General. Turning to Gen.
Hancock, near by, I told him to take care of
things and rode to the rear, not particularly
lamenting being ordered out of a place where
apparently the entire artillery fire of Lee's
army was concentrated. The Chancellors—
villc House "was burning, having been fired
in several places by the enemy’s shells. They
seemingly had a special spite against it, but
probably the’ true reason was that they were
afraid it might play the part of a Hougue-
mont to Hooker’s Army. .
At the farther side of the open field, half
a mile in the rear of Chancellorsv-ille, I came
upon a few tents, three or four pitched,
around which, mostly dismounted, were a
large number of staff ofl‘lcers. .General
Meade was also present, and perhaps other
generals. _
‘ ,runurse ovnu 'rrlE COMMAND.
General Hooker was lying down in,I think,
a soldier's tent by himself. Partially rising
as I entered, he .id: "Couch, I turn the
command of the army over, to you. You
will withdraw it and place it in a position
designated on this map,” as he pointed to a
line traced on a field sketch. .This was per-
haps thrce‘rquarters of an hour after his hurt.
He seemed rather dull but possessing his
mental faculties. I do 'not think that one of
those officers outside of the tent knew what
orders I was to receive, for on stepping out,
which I didimmediately on getting my in-
structions, Meade was met close by, looking
inquiriugly as if he'expeeted that finally he
would receive the order for which he had
waited all that long morning, “to go in.”
One ofiicer broke out : “We shall have some
fighting now." These incidents are men-
tioned to show the temper of that knot of
ofiicers. No time was to be lost, as only
Hancock’s Division now held Iiee's army.
Dispatching Major Burt with orders for the
front to retire, I rode bank to the thicket,
accompanied by Meade, and was soon joined
by Sickles, and after- a little while Hooker.
but he did not intcrfere with my dispositions.
Hancock had a close shave to withdraw in
safety, his line being three-fourths of a mile
long, with an exultant enemy as close'in as
they dared, o'r wished, or chose to be. firing
and watching. But everything was brought
off, other than through the negligence of a
lieutenant, charged by Hancock with the
responsibility of retiring the force at Mott
Run, 500 men of the Second Corps were
taken prisoners. However, under the cir-
cumstances, the division was retired better
than one could have anticipated. General
Sickles assisted in getting men to draw off
the guns of the Maine Battery before spoken
of, and General Meade wished me to hold
the strip of thicket in the rear of Chancel-
lorsville, some six hundred yards in front of
our new line of defense. My reply was “I
shall not leave men in‘this thicket to be
shelled out by Lee’s artillery. » Its possesaion
won’t give us any strength. Yonder is the
line (pointing to the rear) where the fighting
is to be done.” Hooker heard the conversa-
tion, but made no remarks. Considerable
bodies of troops of different corps that lay
in the brush to the right were brought within
the lines, and the battle of Chancellorsville
was ended. My pocket diary, May 3d, has
the following: "Sickles openeda‘t about 5 a.
m. Orders sent me at 10 for the front to
retire; at 12 m. in my new position," the
latter sentence meaning that at that hour my
corps was in position on the new or second
line of defense. I have been thus minute in
narrating what occurred. so far as my obser-
vation extended, from the time General
Hooker received his hurt until the army was
established on the second lfle, in order that
a 'correct understanding may be formed
where so many diverse opinions have been
expressed. _
uooxnn’s CONDITION.
As to the charge that the battle was lost
because the Gen.was intoxicated,I have always
thought that he probably" abstained from the
use of ardent spirits when it would have been
far better for him to have continued in his
usual habit in this respect. The shock from
being violently thrown to the ground,together
with the physical exhaustion resulting from
loss of sleep and the anxiety of mind inci-
dent to the last six days of the campaign,
would tell on any man. The enemy did not
press us on the second line, Lee simply vary-
ing the monotony of watching us by an oc—
casional cannonade from the left, a part of
his army having been sent to Salem Church
to fight Sedgwick. That General had diffi—
culty in maintaining his ground, but being
ably supported by all of his, corps he held
his own by hard fighting for it until after
midnight, May 4-5, when he successfully re-
crossed his command at Banks’ Ford.
Some of the most anamalous occurrences
of the war took place in this campaign. On
the night of May 2, the commanding general
with eighty thousand men in his wing of the
army, directed Sedgwick, with twenty—two
thousand, to march to his relief. While that
officer was doing this on the‘ third, and when
it Would be expected that every effort would
be madeby the right wing to do its part,
Only one half of it was half fought, that its
ammunition was not replenished,and then the
whole wing retreated to a place where it
could not be hurt, leaving Sedgwick and his
comrades to take care of themselves.
A USELESS COUNCIL.
At 12 o’clock on the night of the .4-5th.
General Hooker assembled his corps com-
manders in council. Present—Meade, Rey-
nolds, Sickles, Howard, and myself; Gen.
Slocum, absent on account of the long dis-
tance from his post, did not arrive until the
meeting was broken up. Hooker stated
that his instructions compelled him to cover
Washington, not to jeopardize the army, etc,
It was seen by the most Casual observer that
he had made up his mind to retreat. . We
were left to ourselves to consult, upon which
Sickles made, an elaborate argument, sustain:
ing the views of the commanding general.
Meade was in favor of fighting,.stating that
be doubted if we could get off our guns.
Howard was in favor of fighting, qualifying
his views by the remark that our present sit-
uation was due to the bad conduct of his
corps, or words to that effect. :Reyn‘olds,
very much fatigued, lying on the-ground,was
in favor of an advance. I.hsd.simi1ar views
to those of Meade, 'as to getting off the guns,
“but would favor an advance if I ‘could' des—
ignate the point of attack.” .
Upon collecting the sufirages Meade, Rey-
‘nolds and Howard voted squarely for an ad—
vance, Sickles and myself squarely no; upon'
which Hooker informed the council that he
should take upon himself the responsibility
of retiring the army to the other side of the
river. As I stepped out Of the tent Reynolds,
' just behind me, broke out, “What was the
night when he intended to retreat anyhow. ’_'
Slocum arrived as we were mounting to
return to our commands, having lost his wiry
in tracking through the forest. His remarks,
upon being informed that the council was
broken up without his being permitted to
participate in its deliberations, were quite
positively expressed. ‘
mm A 1:1st BETWEEN.
On the morning of the 5511, corps com-
manders, where it was necessary,were order-
ed to cut roads leading from their positions
use of calling us together at this time of -
afternoon there was a very heavy rainfall.
In the meantime Hooker had, in person,
crossed the river, but. giving orders for the
various corps to march at such and such
times during the night, I am not aware that
any of his corps generals knew of his de
parture. 'Near midnightIgot a note from
Meade informing me that General Hooker
Was on the other side of the river, which had
risen over the bridges, and communication
was cut off from him. I immediately rode
over to that officer’s headquarters and found
that I was in command of the army, if it had
any commander. General Hunt, of the or
tillery, had brought the information as to the
condition of the bridges. and from the re-
ports there seemed to be danger of losing
them entirely. After a short conference
with Meade I told him that the rc-crossing
would be suspended and “that we would
stay where we were and fight it out,” return-
ing to my tent with the intention of enjoying
what I had not since the night of the 30th
instant—a good sleep; but at 2 a. m. I re—
ceived a sharp message from Hooker, com-
munication having been re-cstablished, to
Order the rc-crosslng of the army as he had
directed, and everything was safely transfer-
red‘to the north bank of the Rappahannock.
The losses of the right wing were not far
from twelve thousand, all told; that of the
left five thousand men. Major General
Berry, of the Third Corps, fell on the 3d of
May, and Major General Whipple, of the
same corps, within the second defensive line:
on the 4th of May. , ,
In looking fer the causes of» the loss of
Chancellorsville, the primary ones were that
'Hooker expected Lee to fall back without
risking battle. Finding himself mistaken he
assumed the defensive, where he was out—
generaled and became demoralized at the
superior tactical boldness of the enemy.
Changes in Base-Ball Rules.
Double-as some of our readershave noticed
the Changes for the coming season made in the
playing rules of the National Base-ball League
Perhaps the most important one is the moving
back of the pitcher’s position five feet,making
the distance between the front line of his posi-
tion and the home plate fifty feet instead of
forty-five as heretofore. This it will be seen
at a glance gives the batter a better opportu-
nity for "judging the ball” when sent in by
the pitcher, and also lessens the strain upon
the catcher, since although five feet is a very
short distance it must decrease at least a trifle
the velocity of the ball, and what is of much
greater consequence, enable him to judge
more accurately just where the ball will come
and to prepare the more carefully to receive
it, which of course greatly lessens the danger
.to his hands and person. Two other changes
have also been made concerning the pitcher
and batsman, but as the first favors the one
player to the disadvantage of the other and the
second conversely,thc two about offset one
another. A striker is given his base on seven
balls, but may be put out on three strikes
without receiving the warning "fair ball.”
Furthermore no player is permitted to have
another run for him under any circumstances.
In other words, a man to be able to play
must be able to run his own bases, and no
substitute can be called in, except in cases of
actual injury or illness, and then with the
understanding that he must play during the
remainder of the game. Also an old rule which
was in force several years ago is'restorcd.
It is as follows: “A base runner may be put
out on returning to his base after afoul hit,if
touched by the ball in the hands of a fielder
after the pitcher has handled it.” These con-
stitute the chief alteraticns that have been
effected,but even these are, expected to be suf-
ficient to change the character of the game.
For the last few seasons the strength of the
nine has depended so exclusively upon the
pitching and catching that the occupants of
the positions in which this work is done have
been compelled to bear almost the whole
burden of the contest. The belief is now
that next season there will be more batting
and consequently more fielding, so that gen-
eral excellence rather than brilliant playing
of two or three individuals will be required
- to render a team strong.——- Yale News.

A Bis,r Problem.
How many apples did Adam and Eve eat.
Some say Eve 8 and Adam 2, a total of 10
only. Others figure the thing out differently.
Eve 8 and Adam 8 also; total 16. But if
Eve 8 and Adam 82, certainly the total will
be 90. Scientific men, however, on the
strength of the theory that the antediluviaus
were a race of, giants, reason something like
this: Eve 81 and Adam 82; total 163.
Wrong again. What could be clearer than
if Eve 81 and Adam 812. the total was 893.
Then-if Eve 811st and Adam 812, would not
the total be 1,623? Perhapsafter all, the fol-
lowing is the true solution: Eve 814 Adam,
Adam 8124 Eve; total 8,938. Still another
calculation is possible: If Eve" 814 Adam,
Adam 81242 oblige Eve; total 82,056. Even
this, however, may not be asulficient quan-
tity. For, though. we admit that Eve 814
Adam, Adam if he 8181242 keep Eve com—
pany; total 8,192,056. All wrong. Eve,
when she 81812 many, and probably felt sor—
ry for it; and her companion, in order to re-
lieve her grief, 812. Adam, if he 81814240fy
Eve’s depressed spirits. Hence both ate 81 ,-

How to Treat a Cold.
When you get chilly all over and away
into your bones, and begin to snifle and al-
most struggle for your breath, just begin in
time and your tribulation need not last very
long. Get some powdered borax and snuff
up your nostrils. Get your camphor bottle,
smell it frequently, pour some on your hand-
kerchief and wipe your nose with it when-
ever needed. Your nose will not get sore
and you will soon wonder what’s become of
your cold. Begin this treatment in the fore
noon and keep on at intervals until you go to
bed, and you will sleep as well as you ever
did. I am just telling you my experience.—

More Truth than Poetry.
The Jasper Southeast Texan. has this to say
of the popular mode of keeping Christmas:
The nativity of the Lord Jesus Christ, the
Prince of Life and King of peace, was wel -
corned by the angelic host “praising God,antl
saying glory to God in the highest, and on
earth peace, good will toward men.” Is it
not'strange, then,that in this land of boasted
Christianity it should be the almost universal
practice to welcome in the supposed anniver-
sary of that wonderful and exceedingly glo-
rious event with drunkenness. revelry; and
all sorts of discordant noises, selected, made,
or uttered for the express purpose of “making
night hideous ?" Surely, this kind of rejoic-
ing is the suggestion of anti—Christi No
good, but evil, and only evil, can come of it.
A woman is like a gun when she bangs.
Emulate the mule; it is backward in deeds
of violence. . -
The Chicago Inter-Ocean calmly observes
that the telegraphed statement that Hell Gate,
is full of ice” is not orthodox but very consol-
ing.” -
An exchange praises the “Indian Hair
Restorer." This is-a'fraud. NO Indian was
ever known to restore any hair. He files it
away as a certificate on which to draw ra-
tions [from Uncle Sam. ~
Ladies will belglad to hear that “fluttered
frog" is the name of the last new color. It
is rather lighter than “frightened toad" or
“angry mouse.” “Disturbed cockroach”
ought to be a sweet color. * .

Yes, Doctor, your physio I’ve taken.
That surely should conquer my 1115;
The bottle was solemnly shaken,
I dole on those dear little pills.
I’ve followed your rules as to diet,
I don't know the taste of a tart;
But, though I’ve kept carefully quiet,
The pain's at my heart.
Of course you’ve done good convalecunce
Seems dawmng. And yet, it is true,
I fancy the light of your presence
Does more than your physio can do
I’m well wlen’, you're here,’ but,boliove mo,
Each day when fate dooms us to part
Clme strangest sensations t ) grieve me—
That must be the heart.
Your knowledge is truly stupendous, I
Each dainty prescription I see,
I read “Haustus atatam cumming"
What wonder you took the M. D!
I hang on each word that you utter
With sage IEsculapuin art,
But feel in a terrible flutter,—
It comes from the heart.
Have you. ever felt the emotion
That stethoscope ne’er could reveal ?
If so, you’ll perchance have a notion
Of all that I’ve felt, and still feel.
Oh. say, could you ever endure me?
Dear Doctor, you blush and you start
There’s only one thing that can cure me—
’ Take mc—and my heart! -

WILLING.
B Y. MARGARET J. PRESTON.
A king whose state was marvelous for Ipleno
dor, ’
Whoseroyal city shone
Gorgeous with every grandeur that could ren-

Due honor to his throne,—
Had kept his son from court for sterner
training, -
Thro' disciplines profound,
The better so to perfect him for reigning
What time he should be crowned.
And now the day was set for his returning
From that far province where
Had passed his nonage; and the king was
yearning .
To hail the expectant heir.
80 a proud embassage was missioned. hear-
ing ‘
Word that, probation done,
The monarch, who for years had been pre-
paring - '
Fit empire for his son,
Atlength desired that he should take posses-

The honor, glory, good beyond expression,
Withheld until that hour.
_ What said the banished'i—Did ecstatic pleu-
ure
Give to his spirit wings,
Whose eagerness, in overma‘stering measure,
Out scared the waiting king's?
Nay—when .they told the message of the
father.
There was a startled pause,
A strange, reluctant look, as though be rather
Would linger where he was.
Yet since the‘embassage was urgent, stilling
Whatever secret three
It cost to leave his exile, he was “willing"
Half-sad, he said, “to go.”
Ungracious heart l—to wound with hesita-

Such love l—to hear the call.
Homeward, without one rapturous excita-

“Willing"--and that was all! '
Modern Courtship.
SOME OF ITS ERRORS Ll BEEN BY A CLERICAL
LECTURE?-
Modern modes of courtship and marriage
supplied the topic, a few evenings since,_for
a lecture in the course which has beengivon
of late by Rev.-C. C. Goes, in New York.
The reverend gentleman entered immediately
upon his subject without selectinga text,
and said: “The different circumstances of
people cause a difference in their manner of
courting. There are thousands, for example
who are compelled to do their courting
on the seats in the public parks, and our
servants do theirs leaning upon the iron
railing in front of our dwellings. Tampon—
mentulso vary, and produce different!!-
sults in methods of courtship. Love inbou-
ever, a law unto itself, and should be left to
act naturally and without restraint.
In these courting arrangements young
ladies too often feign a. coldness when
they are burning with love, doing this for
the purpose of " drawin' on the young mm.
This is entirely wrong, as it may and either
in driving him 01!. Young ladies and ion-
tlemen should be entirely frank in their
courtship, and should practice no suchviles.
They should cultivate ‘afiection. for-Lloveil
God. Another fault in our methods; 91’
courtship which should be condemned is the
want of conversation, with respect to the
peculiar traits of each other. The young
man- should describe to the young lady
his weak points. and she may, in‘ return,
speak of his good qualities. This will pre-
vent, after marriage, many mutual recrimina-
tions. .
The young man should state franklyto
his afllsnced his financial condition. He
should also be informed if she has any
property, and its nature and value. They
should know, mutually, their exact financial
condition. The idea should be scorned that
the young man may deceive the young lady
auto his affairs. For the sake of comfort
after marriage they should act toward each
other with entire candor. There is too much
holding back upon this subject of mono]
matters.
A young man should also undeceivo I
lady if he has no serious intentions in refer-
ence to her. She will, really, respect him for
his frankness in regard to what he might
propose doing. If he has no thought of ad-
dressing her seriously, he should let the fact
be known without delay. Young men
should also be careful what they say or. do
in the presence of these giggling girls, for
they often make the best wives. Six out of '
ten of them marry sedate men and soon
settle down into staid mail-om. Men of sober
sense do not'wsnt wives of sober sense, and
giggling girls do not want giggling boys.
There is, however, no one rule as to the
manner of conducting courtship. All will
court as they please in their own way.
“In concluslon," said Mr. Goss, “take as
your motto the golden rule, and do to the
young lady in all your intercourses with her
what you would like her to do to you-
The golden rule is a rule made in heaven,
and is applicable to-courtship as well as to
all other affairs of life. Do not think a
thought or commit an act in reference to her
that you would not have her think or com-
mitin reference to yourself. This males
character the basis of courtship, and chanc-
ter is a sacred thing."
