For with each passionate wish the blessing

To chord with thy dear hope, and do not tire;

MY 0L1) orients:
Somewhere on the wind swept fields of
Kansas there is a stately old nogreSs whose
turbuncd head, like an overblown hollyhock,
nods above her work, and with o. kindly,
weather-boatcn face that we ld show a thou-
sand pleased wrinkles if you should draw
near beside her cabin fence and call her
Dinah.
She is my old negro mummy, as she was
my father‘s before me, and in a certain
county in Tennessee, where the dark leafed
tobacco grows heaviest. and the wheat fields
at harvest uro revision of gold, two genera-
tions of children—men and women now-
have in turn disputed with me the right to
call her mummy. Across that peaceful land
war rolled its dark cloud, but the storm over
the sun shone and the fresh wind blow and
tho earth smiled again after its cruel bap-
tism, and through it all mummy was as true .
and steadfast to her “white folks" as the
rocks that; underlay the broad acres or the
old oaks that stood like sentinels arottud the .
house. '
She had been ole miss maid when ole miss
was the belle of the county; shohudbcen
part of the dowry ole miss had brought to
her husband; into her arms the babies that
came to ole miss Wore laid with the tender
certainty that nothing amiss could befall
them there, and she and ole miss had wept
together over the still, little coilined forms
that were taken out from the big parlor to ,.
' the quiet little graveyard in the cornerof
the garden. She had wondered and sorrowed
and wept. with ho: mistress for half a cent-
ury, and for her there could be no new order
of things that did not include “Miss Ca‘line ‘
on do chillcn." 4
The beginning of the war with its disturb-
ing i'u:::ors was at first nothing to her but
“fool nigger talk," as she coutemptuously
called it. It was only after they had laid
Phil to sleep with the tattered flag onhis
brass: in the little graveyard in the corner of
where his grave looked strangely |

="~r;; old, and she and 010 miss clung

turn and turn about nursed him through
those awful weeks when he trembled on the
brink of the grave with fever? and then
there our; little Nan-—
Phi" grave was made next hers in the
res .z-eritcd little graveyard where the grand
myrtle lifted purple stars from its shining
green leaves and the big cedar trees made
perpetual twilight. Such a tiny gravel But

in tho quiet dusk of summer evenings, and
ma y never spoke of little Nan without a

It was an old story that has its counterpart
in many families. ,
From her dead mother‘s; arms mommy
lifted the baby and bore herback lathe
stately old home from. which her. mother
little one the tender family ties that'had
been torn asunder by thounforttmntgmgr-
ridge knit themselves with renewed strength,
and the mnctiiy of griefand-mchQflessneesa
set the child apart as something almost
holy. Under this fostering care little Nan
grew space, and her childish hands were
fast efi'acing the scars of the wounds her
mother had dealt, when one day—mummy
never remembered it without a shudder—
h‘ttle Nannie‘s‘father came and demanded
her.
He was going to be married again, and he
wanted her. It was all legally and technically
just. Little Nannie’s mother hurl no right in
the eyes of the law, to give her away; it was
horrible to think of the delicate child being
torn from the tender heart that loved her
and given over to this cold repellant man, i
sullen and revengeful, who had never men '
her since mummy had taken her from her
dead mother’s breast. Who could love her
like mommy and ole miss, who loved
her in the living and tho dead?" Ole
marster swore by the God he worshiped no
man should rob him twice of his darlings,
but he was powerless to stay the day when
little Nan would be taken away, for her
father was inexorable and tore away with to
smile the clinging baby fingers that mummy
covered with passionate '
The three who had loved her so stood on
the doorstep until the mniage had disep
peered from sight and the last cryof the
child was lost in the singing of the birds,
and then ole muster turned and went into
the house, bent as he had not been by all his
thrccs'coro years. Ole miss bowed her face in i
her hands and subbed aloud, but mummy l
cursed him. She had savage blood iii-her
veins, and the furyof a lioness torn from her
cubs possessed her. 4
After that the house was lonely as only a
house can be when a. childish voice that has
made music everywhere is suddenly silenced.
Occasionally a begrudged message was sent
to those who hungered for news of little Nan,
and finally there was a long silence.
Then there came a. time when for three
nights the owls flew screeching over mommy‘s
cabin; thrco‘nights in which her dreams were
haunted by._tho child’s cries, and her super
stitious soul told something was wrong with
‘ ‘her baby. ”
“I lowed I wouldn’t give ole miss do
trubble of ’fnsin’ to let. me go,” she said after-
wards, iu explanation, “so I ices got .up and
retch down my ole shawl odWash‘n’ton‘s
razor, dab Ihidin mybres,en I started to
my baby.”
The next day, when mummy was missing,
no one could give any explanation of her ab-
sence. All her husband, Washington, could
tell was: “We’n I come home Todes mawnin,
wid a monstrous big, fatpocsum, my ole
'oomun wuz gone. I low she’s des a trnipdn’
round somewhar or n'cr, en‘ll be home befo’
sunset. I‘ll des save dot possum use hits
powerful sattifin’ eatin’ when you‘so hungry,
lousways wid tattcrs to sop in do gravy.”
But sunset nor sunrise brought mummy.
Tired, footsore, half famished, with n. pur-
pose and a. presentment that grew as she
toiled on, she made her way toward the
child. Sleeping in dark thickets,.rn0re than
once walking knee deep in running water to ,
throw off the pursuit of bloodhounds scent-
ing fugitive slaves, finding her way .by
cautious inquiries, mummy found herself at
last at little Nannie‘s homo.

my‘s dream was true. Little Nan was dead.
“I knowed I wuz too lute," she said after-
ward. “Hit wuz borne in on my mind, but 1

to die by herse’f."
It was even so. Above the dying child no
kindly face bent: but the black one of a house-
maid, who pitied her who was an alien in her
father‘s house.
Perhaps no two hearts can live as closely
together as mammy's and ole mix, did for
so many years without becoming conscious
of each other’s impulses. So when mummy
failed to return ole miss started in search of
her, rightly conjecturing she had gone to the
baby she was always longing for. Mummy
had not knelt long with that waxcn figure,
cradled as it was wont to be, in her arms,
before the doonopened and ole miss stood on
the threshold. A glance showed her mommy’s
kneeling figure with the dead baby lying like
a broken lily on her breast, and in an instant
she had crossed the room and lifted the frail
burden toward heaven. “Oh, God, avenge
thine own!" she cried—ole miss who had
never said a harsh word toany one in her life!
Presently she touched mummy gently.
“Come," she said, “we must take her home,"
and so they passed out toward the carriage
with the dead child, through the crowd of
servants, who fell back affrighted. There
; was a. stir; little Nun’s father had come home
and would have detained them, but from the
set, white face of one woman, and the gloom-
ing, passionate eyes of the other, he shrank
us if the dead had come back to reproach
him.

Years soften all grief, and the time came
I
' when the memory of little Nun ceased to be
amignnnt anguish, and was only another
; link that bound ole miss and mommy closer
; together. Then the war cmno, and the fever-
; ish period of rcconstruction,ond then lifo
settled into rounds again one. new basis.
. Mummy still carried the housekeeping
keys, and Unc’ lVashiugton still drove “dc
keeridgc.” But alas, one night at church,
when the presiding elder announced “dat a
white gem‘mnn wanted to’drcss de mectin‘
. artcrdo sermon,"‘Unclo Washington fell a
7 victim to the fatal eloquence of the emigra-
; tion agent. That glib speaker painted the
i delights of Kansas in such glowing colors
Y that the old man’s fancy took fire, and in
spite of all entreatics and bribes from the
p ople who had befriended him all his life,
be resolved to go west. In vain was it repre-
' seated to himthathe and mommy were too
i old to change. “I'se bleedged to you, boss,”
was his invariable answer, “but I is frco to
go on come, en I’m, gwine to do bit.”
It almost broke mommy’s heart to part;
with ole miss “cu do chillen,” but she could
not leave her “ole man" to face that undis-
covered country alone, and after the manner
of womankind the world over “she was
bleedged to follow." So, one wintry morn-
ing, with a goodly store of gold and silver
from her “chillen,” with the gay plaids of
her bunduna. head covering gleaming under
bonnet in cheerful contrast to the tears upon
her cheeks, mummy set her face toward that
fair west that has been the beacon to so many
of her race.
Somewhere, as I have said, on the wind
swept fields of Kansas she and Washington
have built a little house where the flowers
she took from her old home bloom kindly in
the alien soil, and if you should chance to
draw rein before her cabin door call her not

BOYS, DON'T DO IT.
Good Advice to an Ambitious Employe.
Obligations to an Employer.
A few days ugoa young man came in who
had skirted, a year before, in a machine shop
and foundry, intending to serve his timo of
thrcc or more years and become a thorough
master of his trade. He had begun with
small pay, less than $1 per day, but being
apt, quick to learn, comprehend and execute,
ho had been gradually advanced and his pay
increased, till he was getting $10 per week
and a good line of work. He had just ro-
ccived an offer of $12 per week to quit his
place and take an entirely different position;
in fact, a. fireman’s job, and he came in for
advice and to talk it over with us. As his case
is analogous to many young men who are
similarly situated‘ and tempted, and as we
hold that the continued supremacy of the .
United States in machinery and mechanical
construction is in the keeping of the young
men who are today learning their trades,»we
feel impelled to rise and remark: “Boys,
don’t do it." Your firm took you on trust;
you were not worth to them when you began
3'81 a week, but with an abiding faith in your
abilities and honor they gave timo,
tools and patience to get your dormant,
untutored mechanical ideas bent in the right
direction. You occupied a lathe and spoiled
stool-:, and secured them a loss that even a
mellum workmen would easily have changed
into a handsome profit. As you advanced,
became shopwise and could do passable work,
they advanced you, went all over the some or-
similar ground with you cumin, until you
were again worthy of an advance.
And so it. goes on; some of you have put in
one, some two years, on your trade. If
you’ve been smart, faithful, and done for
yourself what you could and ought to have
done, and what tho'firm designed you to do,
you can take this or that journeyman’s place,
the shop for a day or
two. ~
You are worth something to the firm that
'-has made you what you are. Then some-
body comes along and offers you $2 per week
" more than the firm is paying you. Seeing
you are active, smart, capable, they wish to
acquire (and that. is a mild term to apply to
it) the benefit of the schooling, the educa-
tion, the other firm has given you.
Boys, don’t. do it. - You stultify and debase
' yourinborn ,noblognaturewhen you take it;
you disgrace an honorable "record, the best
heritage you’ve got or can get, when you on-
tertain seriously such proposals—Sanitary

Annoyances of the Bereaved.
Bereaved women in New-York are pester-
ed by peddlers. A widow was lying ‘on a
lounge in her back parlor the day after the
obsequios, whena man gently pushed open
the door, and with great care deposited at
mahogany box on the table. He coughed
apologetically behind a black glove, and
oommencedaset speech. “In the midst of
life we are in death," he began. The lady
sprang up. On went the orator: “How pleas-
ing when those we love are removed to have
fascinating mementoesfii.
“What is it you want?" was her question.
“I run the patentee of a process by which
flowers are preserved as natural as life, and
after death made to be beautiful ornaments
of the drawing room," exclaimed the man.
“Let me show you some specimens,” and he
began to unbucklo the box and exhibit a lot
of bilious wreaths and jaundiced crosses.
The widow burst into fresh tears, and flew
out of the roomto order the intruder ejected.
She has ever since been besieged by-persons
- who, for the sake of sales or advertising, de-
sire to do something or other about the tomb.
To guard her againstthem she has made her-
self immible to strangers save through
some male member of the household.
A mother, while her dead child still lay in
the house,” encountered at‘ her chamber door
a sallow faced female in rusty black alpaca,
sitting gingerly on the edge of a chair.
“I. hold ’em not to disturb you,” walled the
creature in a plaintive voice. “In this time
of trouble I don’t want to hurry no one.
Have you got a picture of the lamented
child?" Tho-woman consulted a card in tho
hollOw of her left hand on which the sex, age
and relationship of the dead person was
written.
“Your dear daughter is gone. It is a. great
deprivation. Photographs fade, oil paintings
are unnatural, but a. cast of the face of the
dead would be like having her with you
again." .
She held upfor breath and “king a parcel

Duties of Physicians.
Physicians should carry the whys and
wherefore-of health and disease into the
families under their care to the extent of
their power. Hygiene and sanitation should
oometo be understood through the family
doctor, if in no other way.
We do not menu that. doctors can spend
time,of which they have so little, in ex-
pounding these matters fully'to‘ their pa- '
tients, nor can doctors carry about i their
little medicine chests a never failing supply
of brains to be given to those not well fur-
nished in that way, nor a supply of self do-
niul for those who will gratify their tastes
and whims at the cost of health; but words of
wisdom set thinking men and women to
studying .for themselves on these subjects,
and {say even cause the needless and im—
thinking to pause and consider. ‘
The time will come when doctors will be
paid for keeping the people well and for giv-
erig advice on those to lies—Mrs. E. 0. Cook,

of tho Plates.
“I will take you first," said the guide. “in:
the engraving division, for that is the foun-
(lotion and the starting point. of all the work
that is performed in this buildinr.r "
The engraving division is a large room on
the main flux in the northwest partof the
building. Alongthe south part. of the room
runs a railing, and back of this are doors
opening into the vaults in which are stored
all the dies, rolls, plates, bed pieces and other
material used in the manufacture of the
plates from which the notes and bondsare
printed. Along the north side of the room
are desks at each window, behind which sit
men bending over with u graver in one hand
and a magnifying glass in the other, care-
fully tracing out the fine lines upon the pieces
of steel, and beneath their skillful fingers
grow the portraits, the letters and the orna-
mentation that go to make up the perfect
security of-bauk notes. -
Mr. O‘Neal, the chief of the. engraving di-
vision, is a practical engraver himself, and be
readily volunteered to furnish all the infor-
mation necessary to enable his visitor to un-
derstand the process by which bunk note
plates were made. “In the first place,” said
be, “we make a model of the note that is do.»

specialties just the some as artists in every
other calling. The man who is a good por-
trait engraver is not a good letter engraver;
the man who is on expert in letters cannot do

ent parts of the engraving are distributed to
the men who are the most competent to per-
form the work.
nerrtooucrtorv or Prawns.
“Take a dollar bill,“ be said, “and I will
explain to you what I mean. You see in the
left hand corner there is a portrait of Martha
Washington. Now, that work is given to a
portrait engraver. He takes first, a piece of
steel arid engraves the picture upon that.
Each line is gradually cut up and deepened
by the engraver until the perfect picture is
formed. . The shading, of course, depends
upon the depth and breadth of the lines cut. -
After that picture is finished the die or piece
of 5'th upon which it is cut, is put into the
fire and hardened. Then we take that. hard-
ened die and a roll of soft steel and give it to
one of these men over here,” going as he spoke
to the transferrers, “and they place it in this
transfer press, and by the pressure that the
press is enabled to bring to bear, the
soft steel roll takes up, as we call
it, the impression from the hardened
die. Then the roll in its turn is put-in the fire
and hardened, and all is ready for use in
transferring to what we call a bed piece.
which is the same size as the completed note.
All the other engraving upon this note is
done in the some manner by different people
upon different dies, which are then hardened
and transferred to rolls,-they in their turn
hardened, and then transferred to the bed
piece. There is one exception, and that is the
. geometric lathe work. That is done by on in-
tricate machine, which I will show you, and
then the numerals or letters are cut upon it; '
by hand as the rest of the engraving is done. ‘
When the bed piece is completed, then a roll
of the entire bed piece is taken up, and then
that is transferred to the plates. You wll
see that there are four notes upon every plate
After the plates are laid down they are hard
erred and ready for printing.
“You see,” continued Mr. O’Neal, “that by
this system of reproduction and duplication
every plate is exactly like every other plate,
and that is the greatest security against
counterfeiting. No two men could do the
same piece of work in exactly the same way.
No one engraver could duplicate his own en-
graving so as to be exactly liko the original.
By the transfer process. the duplication is
absolute. Every line is the same upon one
plate as upon. every other plate of the same
duplication, because they are all made from
the same roll or set of rolls."
IN ran PRESS ROOM.
From the engraving division the guide
wont to the press room, which is in the top
of the building. Here work 400 and over,
men and women, all busily engaged. 1V0-
mcn were wetting paper and laying it on the
presses, which were quickly turned by skill-
ful printers, and as soon as the impression
was made the plate was taken, placed upon a
gas stove, inked, wiped, polished and re-
placed upon the press to receive another
sheet of paper and to make another impres-
sion. The twirling arms of the presses, the
rattle of the plates and quick motions of the
girls made a kuleidoscopic effect that. was
bewildering at first.
“To show you how careful ii: is necessary
for us to be,” said the guide, “I will say that
each morning when the printer receives his
paper from the wetting division it is counted
by both himself and his assistant, and then
at- the close' of the day he must show the
same number of printed sheets as he received
in the morning. As an additional check
there is an automatic register upon each
press which records every impression made."
“But don’t the press sometimes move when
there is no impression made?”
"Sometimes, yes; but the printer knows
that every time he pulls the prefer a record is
made upon the register, and if he pulls it
without making an impression upon the
sheet. he is obliged to call the register clerk
and notify him, and then that extra count is
taken into consideration at the close of the
day's work. ”
From the printing division the next visit
was to the numbering division. Here the
notes are numbered and separated, both be-
ingdono by machinery. Here they are also
packed for delivery to the United States
treasurer. From the numbering division it
is but a step to what is called the examining
and counting division. The notes come here
first from the press room when , they are
damp with the newly made impressions and
rewive what is known as a. wet count. They
are then placed between tissues and piled in
racls s, put in the dry box and subjected for a
certain length of time to a stream of hot air.
On mining from the dry box they are'again
counted, then sent to receive the next im-
pression from the press room, then returned
to the examining division, again counted
and go through the some process of drying,
the name number of counts until the stage of
completion, when they are sent to the num-
heriug' division. On this same floor, also, is
the large vault where all the completed and
uncompletcd work, as well as the blank pa-
per, is placed every evening at the close of
work, and from which it is issued to the sev-
eral divisions at. the commencement of work
the next morning.
cnncxs AGAINST FRAUD.
It must be remembered that every sheet of
blank paper is drawn for a. specific purpose,
and repsezents a specific money value. If it
is for $1 notes, each sheet of paper repments
$4: if it is for $5 notes, each sheet represents
620; if for $1,000 bills, each sheet represents
$4,000; if it is for a 850,000 registered bond.
the sheet represents tint much in money
value, and the accounts am'kept as to the
money value of, the paper received. 11’- will
thus be seen that millions of dollars are rep-
resented iu‘ this vault continuously. To show
the security in locking this vault, it may be
stated that there are three combination
locks. One is kept by the vault keeper, an-
other by the accountant of the bureau, and
the third is a. time lock. When the vault is
locked by the two combinations the time
lock is set for the number of hours up to the
following morning, and until that hour ar-
rives there is no pOWer or way known to 0pm
that vault.
The system of checks against fraud or acci-
dent which is now employed in .the bureau
is believed to be complete and is the result of
years of careful experience. The: paper is
made at Dalton, Mann, and firewall there un-
der the supervision and count of government
employee. When it reaches the treasury de-
partment it is there counted to see that it
agrees ‘with the invoice accompanying it.
When it is issued to the bureau upon its
requisition it is counted when delivered by
the treasury counters, and again counted
when received at the bureau by its employees.
Every time it is issued in the bureau, no mat-
ter to what division, it is counted when given
out; in the morning and counted when re-
turned in the evening. The other counts
during the progress of the work are stated
, above. If there is any discrepancy in the
balances at the close of the work, if a single
sheet of paper is- missing, not a single em-
ployc is allowed to leave the building until
the discrepancy is explained or the sheet of
paper is found.
In regard to the engraved stock there is a
similar system of checks. Every plate, roll
or die, either finished or unfinished, is kept;
in a vault presided over by a. custodian ap-
pointed by und responsible to the secretary
of the treasury.
came or run runs.
The superintendent of the engraving divi-
sion makes a. requisition on this custodian
every morning for the stock that he desires .
, for use during the day, and as each piece of

He, in his turn, charges the stock to the en-
gravers, transferrerssimd Cleaners who use
them. Only the roll',_iiie or plate required
for immediate use is horned, and this must be
returned and checkedgolf immediately the
work is finished. At the Close of work all
the engravers and errors return their
rolls, dies and plates f they are checked in,
and tho whole amount then turned over to
the custodian and _ _

and furnishes employment to some 800 per-
sons. The number of employee varies with
the amount of work required. In times of
pressure, such as when there was u'big de-
mand for four per cent. blinds some years ago,
the work is kept going constantly night and
day without intermission. Then there are
three separate forces who work eight hours
each, and as soon as one finishes another is
ready to take up the work.
There is one process Which has not been
mentioned, and that is the final disposition of
the notes and securities after they have been

At home he is a model of domestic tenderness

anomaly of a Long Black Beard.
There was a. man in Detroit whom I re-
tpectied greatly. His opinion had a. good
deal of weight with me. He was a. siiperb
looking man and wore a great long, black
beard that was altogether the most imposing
thing of the kind I had ever seen. It gave a
look of majesty to his face that naturally in-
spired one with infinite respect for him. One
day a man, who seemed an utter stranger to
me, stopped me in the street. He asked mo
if I didn’t know him. I did not. Then he
explained that he was my friend of the long
board. He had a receding chin and a weak
mouth, and my respect for him was gone
forever. I could see at a. glance that he was
not at all the kind of man I had supposed.

“Have you been to your office yet?”
“No; I am just coming down town for the-
first time after shaving.”
“Then your employers have not seen you
yet?"
“No. Nobody appears to know me, either.
I guess I will have hard worl- making them
believe that I am myself."
“Look here; this is serious business. If
you have any hopes of ever getting a part-
nership, or of even keeping your, situation,
your vacation and let your board grow.

wanted to examine both the higher and lower

the other at thirty-five cents. He said, in
answer to my question, that those were all he

brought out the very thing I was in search

I asked. ‘Well, it‘s cheap,’ said the stupid
fellow; and that was the only thing I could
get out of him. If I hadn’t really wanted the
article I would have tamed around and
walked out of the spore. I have had that

ONE OF WAR’S MOST AWE INSPIRING
SPECTACLES.
Light; Artillery in Action—A Crisis in
Battle—A Terrible Boom! Boom!
Cannon—Charge of tho Enemy—Horrors
or \Var.
A battery is needed here at; this particular
point. The enemy sees the opportunity and
throws a dense mass of men against it. The
crisis is approaching. An aide gullops of!
to give the order to the nearest artillery. It
is over there on the adjacent knoll. The
. aide has reached it; he points with his hand
where it is needed. Before he can turn his
liorse‘uround, guns and horses were all mov-
ing. Can they get here in time? We must
hold this knoll; it is the key point of this
part of the battle, and see, the enemy is ad-
vancing for a grand assault. Quick! order
up another regiment to support the battery
when it gets here. ' There it comes, flushing
at intervals through smoke and dust like a.
meteor. A long train of guns and cannons—-
six, eight guns, and six, eight caissous, and
six, eight horses to each gun and caisson.
With a tremendous racket, they dash full
speed across fields, never turning to right or -
left, bending straight'for this knoll. Drivers
all lashing their horses into a. fury of foam,
officers pointing-with- their swords, and on
the gun chests sit. the brave cannoneers, cool
and indilferent outwardly, but knowing full
well inwardly that in a few minutes more
many of them will bite the dust.
on to the chest handles for life, for as 9. wheel
. strikes a log, the carriages jump two feet in
the air. Now they turn slightly with the
:hey cross ditches, overturn hedges and
fences, all the horses galloping in a cloud of
lust. Ha! one horse has fallen—yes, struck
0y a bullet. The men jump down from the
carriage, the battery goes on—in a. moment.
he traces are cut, and the poor horse left to
'lio. The carriage, drawn now by five horses,
ill go down a‘ hollow, and disappear from
view for a moment—tho next instant they
are up again. . .
See! the captain-gives a sign. What a
change! As if instantly turned to marble
every horse and mrriago stops dead short.
Then for five sewuds whatinextricable con-
tusion! Horses, men, guns and caissons 'to-
, gether in .a horrible jumble—then all is clear
again. There back in the inflow, sheltered
below the hill
stands the line of ,limbers', and here on the
crest are the guns.‘ W hat ametamorphdsis!
The statuelike cannoneers are new full of
life and excitement! Now acloud of white
smoke and red flame suddenly shoots out. of
the black mouth nearest, n terrible boom
rings out, then another and another. Boom!
boom! boom! the great mouths yell with
horrible delight, and atesch boom goes down
a wide swath of men in the advancing col-
‘umn. Boom! boom! boom! they roar in
joyful glee, and yet at each boom they recoil
in horror at théir own power. Beyond the
, enemies lines, away off in the distance, trees
split and full, and houses collapse at some un-
seen mysterious power. Everything gives
way before the terrible storm of iron mis-
siles thrown out at each boom! boom! boom!
The enemy for an instant bolt, and then
reform, on again and charge up the hillside.
lVill nothing stop them? No, they are deter-
mined to have the battery that causes such
terrible destruction in their ranks, and though
with each discharge wide lanes are opened in
them, they do not falter. The brave can-
noneers are falling fast. Quick! “Limber,
rear!” sounds the bugle, while the long sup-
porting line of infantry rises from the hol:
low, and pours volley after volley into the
determined foe. Ha! he halts—he is checked!
No, that. is only temporary disorder. See,
there he comes again, with a yell! Oh! how
terrible! Quick! spike the guns! Hand to
hand they fight. See, even as that. omcer's
sword is upraised,'the bullet strikes him, and
he reels from of! his horse. Down goes the
horse, kicking and screaming in death
agony. Men fighting with bayonets, clubbed
muskets, fire their guns in each other‘s faces,
blow oi! heads of men close by. Blood!
Blood! Blood! _
What is that? Thank God! The joyful
yell in our rear is from u re-eiiforcement ar-
- rived just in time. T712. enemy sees it, he
gives way, there he goes—what is left of him.
That is right; pour volley after volley into
him, rush after him; do not leave any one
i alive. The guns are safe, but what a scene!
There are piles of dead and wounded to-
gether. Pools of blood on the ground, and
everything marked with blood. Flies are
already settling on the dead. What terrible
groans and moans, and prayers for water.
Broken muskets, torn clothes revealing white
skin stained with red blood, canteens, haver-
sacks, guidons, cooking tins, caunister cart-
ridges, broken wheels, dead horses and men,
all together.
Look at that: mam! Homes with entrails
scattered about; human legs and arms with-
out. bodies; bodies with jagged splinters and
bones protruding through the flesh. That
man's face is already swollen and this one’s is
turned black. Oh! the despair, the hatred
or courage depicted on their countenancesl
And the strange positions they take—eyes
protruding from sockets and tongues from
mouths. Oh! it is terrible. One can but;
shudder and sicken, turn faint and giddy.
Yet it is war—the science that brings out the
noblest m well as the worst passions of men,
and that is the great civilizer of the world.—
William R. Hamilton, U. S. A., in Outing.
Are Stones Alive?
We generally think of minerals as dead
lumps of inactive matter. But they may be
said to be alive,~creaturcs of vital pulsations,
and separated into individuals as distinct as
the pines in a forest or the tigers in the jungle.
The dispositions of crystals are as diverse as
those of animals They throb with unseen
currents of energy. They grow in size as
long as they have opportunity. They can be
killed, too, though not as easily as an oak or
odog. A strong electric shock discharged
through 0 crystal will decompose it very
rapidly if it is of soft structure, causing the
particles to gradually disintegrate in the re
verse order from its growth, until the poor
thing lies in dead, shapeles ruin. It. is true
the crystal’s life is unlike that of higher
organises. But the difference between vege-
table and animal life is no greater than that
between mineral and vegetable life. Linnaeus,
the great Swedish naturalist. defined the
three kingdoms by saying: “Stones grow;
plants grow and feel; animals grow and feel
and move. ”—IVide Awake.
