Did you ever see any thing more amus-

log than the absorption of .the woman ‘
over the marriages ? An. earthquake
wouldn‘t disturb her. She invests every
couple with the romance of her own
courtship, and goes oil into speculdion
on the groom‘s prospects and the style of
the bride‘s wedding outfit. As for the
etiquette column, that always makes her
chatter. “Here.” she says. “is the mes:

where the Squire greeted me gruflly and
his maiden sister, Miss Penelope, sat
during my visit with a piece of knitting
in ‘her hand and a forbidding expression
of countenance, apparently resolved not
to leave the parlor while I remained.
This oceurrel again and again—dintil it
is no wonder that I took to watchingr tho i

In one of these interviews t‘ura assured
me that she cured nothing for “Cousin

that if she had ever for a moment given 2
him cutouvugettfent .it was only because ’
——bec:luse, no one else had otl‘rred whom
she could love. This naive confession
brought matters to a crisis, and the re-
sult was ardent vows and a solemn pledge
of L‘nngmuenl, with a promise on her
part that she would marry me just as
soon as I could make some arrangements
and tcturn tif claim her. “'1: agreed
that an elopement would be. best. as secur-

* Then she noticed Sancho, who had
stretched himself at her feet, and praised
him and ask. d his name; and so by de«

we learned a greattlenl about each other.
I let her know who I was and that I had

name was t‘ota Madden, and that she

A Writer in the New York (‘gmunernt‘a’
Advertiser who was a Federal soldier at
l-‘rcderieksburg gives the, following ac~
count of that battle: ,
Our corps, the, First. under General
John I". Reynolds, who was destined to
a glorious death at Gettysburg, and the
Sixth corps, under General “Baldy-'1
Smith. formed the left granddivision,
commanded by tleuernl Franklin, and
we, held the ltII of our line. It was
dark when We bivouackod in the fields
below the city. A mile in front of us
we could see the dim ouflines of the‘
woods, sparkling with countless camp~
tires. We were not allowed to light our
tires, became they would have served as
targets for the enemy. So we rolled up
in our blankets and slept as tired men
only can.

and was only convinced that it had oc-

shape of dead and Wounded men and

About 9 A. M. our brigade moved
further to the left. and tow-.ird the front. ,:
In my company \Vrrc u‘yout thirty re»

crest of a little hill, over which the tool

Here we were allowed to send out a

‘ A l'niqne Railroad.
There is alzttle, narrow gauge rail—
road iu central Illinois which is rather'
arousing. It runs through a rich farm-
in;r country and is uwtnd and managed
by wealthy farmers. The conductors,
.
engineers and brakemen are farmers‘:
ssous who have grown weary of raising?
"railrotding‘ as a relief. The various
stations along the line of this little ruil~
road are of no consequence whatever,
except to their Store or more of it»,
lhabitauts and to the farmers of thei
i neighborhood. A train starts fro.u each
end of the road every morning after
. breakfast, runs to the’ Opposite end of
3 the road by dinner time, returns again
,for tea, and ties up for the night. As
there is no telegraph line Conner ted with
fthe road nobody at any of the stations
bkuows when a train is coming until it
1 arrives in sight. As the rails are laid on
; tics placed on the flat prairie anl as no
grade exists from one end of the road to

to speak to the injured man. and in. his
