AN OLD HOMESTEAD.
It stands beside the winding wav
Where countless" flowers smile
Time-toned into a silver gray
An ancient shingled pile.
Beside the gate a lilac fair
Is bright with May-rain pearls,
And from the chimney in the air
A smoke skeln softly curls.
A willow ripples like the sea
In musical unrest,
And cradles in its drapery
An ashen hornet‘s nest.
Bright tulips at the doorway set
Their airy fragrance spill.
A jar of creamy mignonette
Is on the window sill.
'There is a straggling hedge of box
Beneath the drowsy trees,
The air is rich with rose and phlox
And murmurous with bees
The happy insects drone and burn
‘Mid daisies white as curds,
And in the swaying pear and plum
Ripple the songs of birds.
The garden pathway wanders through
The quiet shade until
Beneath an elm it falls into
A cressy crystal rill
The dusty road begins to wind.
And all the balmy scene
Melts softly from my view behind
A cedar‘s billowy green.

Could Not Promote Kiln.
It is well known that Charles XII of
Sweden was a man who united to an in-
vincible obstinacy a restless energy and
indomitable valor. It is not so well known,
however, that was equally distinguished
for his love truth. His biographer,
Lundblad, tells the following anecdote of
this last characteristic of his royal hero:
The king had issued most stringent Or-
ders against dueling, and a major who had
disobeyed and had killed his adversary in
a so called “alfair of honor” fled the coun-
try.
During the absence of the monarch in
Turkey, however, he returned to his native
land, and again received an appointment
in the Swedish army.
When Charles escaped from captivity
and resumed command of his troops he
met the major by chance and recognized
him;_at once. He said nothing, however,
for-The had need of eflicient officers. Ashort
time afterward the major distinguished
himself in battle and Charles desired to
promote him, but was unwilling to let the
officer suppose that he had not been recog-
nized. '
One day when reviewing his troops he
suddenly approached the major, and put
the question to him if he were not the man
who had killed a comrade in a duel.
The poor fellow, thrown into confusion
by the sudden accusation, denied his guilt,
whereupon the king turned to his general
and said: “It’s too bad! The man lies and
I can’t reward him. ”—Youth’s Companion.
A Whimsical Frenchman’s Burial.
A worthy citizen of the republic of let-
ters has been interred at Dole, in the J ura.
According to his written request, he was
put in his coffin ready dressed for re-awak-
ening. Under his head was placed a. French
edition of Horace, at his feet a copy of Mil-
ton, in his right hand a Greek Testament,
in. his left hand an Elzevirian edition of
Horace, while under his back lay an En-
glish edition of the same Latin poet. The
coffin was painted green—symbolical of
hope. On his tombstone he had engraved
in advance:
“He that you seek still lives."
The funeral cortege, details drawn up by
himself, was limited to his six most inti-
mate friends and co-admir'érs of Horace.
During the lowering of the coflin into the
grave they sang a stanza from an indicated
ode. The funeral ceremony over, the
friends repaired to the residence of the de
ceased’s sister, who had been ordered to
serve a Lucullian supper, after which
other indicated stanzas from an ode were
sung. [t was furthermore stipulated by
the injunctions that when his friendshad
become “slightly heady” and all the for-
malities had been executed they were at
once and forever to forget the defunct.—

A Record of One Man. ,.
The records show that men and women,
at the rate of nearly 2,000 a year. disappear
from among their friends more completely
than if the earth opened and swallowed
them up. Some Of them turn up again,
but more do not. There is one prominent
name among those missing, one that most
persons in New York will remember. It
is that Of S. S. Conant. He was in com-
fortable circumstances. was editor of Har~
per’s Weekly, had hosts of friends, a de—
lightful home and an interesting family.
One day the sergeant who keeps the rec-
'ords had occasion to write in his big book,
“Missing—S. S. Conant,” and then followed
with a description of the man. . Money and
the best talent to be found in New York
were used, and without result, so far as
finding him was concerned. Neither the
man, his body nor any trace of him was
found, and it still stands on the records at
police headquarters, “Missing—S. S. 00-
nant.”——New York Mail and Express.

men, and ended in a- scare for the Union
camps, the temporary obstruction of the
railroad supplying the Union army, and
the wanton wounding Of some soldiers and
passengers by a volley fired into a moving
train. However, it made Stuart famous,
and no doubt suggested to Gen. Lee the use
that might be made of such expeditions in
campaigns favorable for incursions across
the lines.
A tempting situation was noted some
months later, after the battle of Antietam.
The armies of McClellan and Lee lay on

. opposite sides of the Potomac river, above
Harper’sFerry. McClellan was refitting
and recruiting the Army of the Potomac,
and, with a depot of supplies at Hagers—
town, was dependent for rapid communi-
cation with the north on the railroad run:
ning thence from Harrisburg, Pa., by way
of Chambersburg. The latter was from
thirty-to forty miles inside of McClellan’S
lines. 'On the 8th of October Gen. Lee in-
structed Stuart to take 1,200 or _ 1,500
mounted men and proceed to that point,
destroy the railway bridge over the Cono-
cocheaguc and otherwise damage the Union
transportation, making any legal captures
within his power. Stuart selected 1,800
men and a battery of flying artillery. His
subordinates were Wade Hampton, W. H.
F. Lee and W’. E. Jones. When the troops
were in line, ready to move off in a dense
darkness, the following order was read to
them:
SOLDIEns—-You are”: to engage in an enter-
prise which, to insuraibuccess. imperatively de~
mands at your hands coolness, decision and brav-
ery, implicit obedience to orders without question
or cavil. and the strictest order and sobriety on
the march and in bivouac. The destination and
extent of this expedition had better be kept to
myself than known to you. Suffice it to say that
with the hearty cooperation of officers and men
I have not a doubt of its success—a success which
will reflect credit in the highest degree upon your
arms. The orders which are herewith published
for your government are absolutely necessary
and must be rigidly enforced.
J. E. B. STUART.
The cavalcade moved silently to McCoy’s
Ford, on the Potomac, between Williams-
port and Hancock, seized the picket post
without alarm, and after pressing on some
distance a Union signal station with all its
detail was surprised and captured. At this
point Stuart learned of the presence of
Gen. J. D. Cox’s Kanawha division, which
was marching toward West Virginia, and
had gone but an hour’s march from the
road he was pursuing. The raiders
then made a detour and pushed on to Mer-
cersburg, Pa., ten miles from the point of
crossing and half way to Chambersburg.
The latter was reached after dark, and
Stuart immediately took possession of the
place, appointing Wade Hampton military
governor. NO officials could be found who
would treat with the invaders, and Stuart
sent his men to perform the work as-
signed.
It was raining steadily, a cold, dreary,
autumn storm, and as far as possible con-
sistent with orders the troops sought to
get some comfort out of the situation.
- Strict orders had been given against pri-
vate plundering, but the men threw them-
selves upon the mercy of the people for

up in horror, and often loaded dishes of

feeling prevailed generally,
wealthy and cultured and bore themselves
like gentlemen, putting everybody at ease.
Among the homes where the raiders
were entertained was that of 001. 'A. K.
McClure, the Philadelphia editor, then a
lawyer of that town. '. McClure had been
on McClellan’s stafi at Antietam. and was
an officer of the Home Guard. Stuart had

and retained as hostages. but by, accident

the inevitable calmly, talked frankly about .
public sentiment and finally asked a favor
of the raiders in the return to his stable of
a favorite pony belonging to a young lady
of his household which had been seized as
legal capture. It was Of course returned.
The next morning, Oct. 11, large quanti-
ties of military stores, machine shops, rail-
road 'buildings and loaded trains were de-
stroyed. The railway bridge and trestle
Was of iron and could not be burned.
After accomplishing this Stuart set out on
the return—the most difficult part of the
' raid: for while he had dashed boldly a
day’s ride into Union territory with but
little opposition, it'was not to be supposed
that with military lines all around his
course his passage would escape notice or
fail to arouse an army to cut off his re-
treat.
The first alarm sent out from the Union
cautionary lines was given by the signal
corps near the point of Stuart’s crossing
on the morning of the 10th. The news
was sent at once to the district command-
ers, to army headquarters, and to the cav-
alry. Great uncertainty prevailed as to
the direction taken by Stuart, his strength,
etc. The day was passed in scouting and
conjecture. McClellan’s cavalry was com-
manded by Gen. Alfred Pleasanton, and
was posted on the flanks and rear of his
army. It had not been recruited since the
Peninsula campaign, and for that reason
was in very inferior condition, suitable for
scouting and picked duty only. Besides,
it had hundreds of miles of communica-
tion to guard, as well as the Potomac cross—
lngs.
The return of the Confederate cavalry
was the most difficult part of the daring
expedition. That short cut of twenty odd
miles from Williamsport to Chambersburg
could not be made again. Cox’s Kana-
wha division was known to be in that
vicinity, and there were thousands of Union
troops within easy call. Lee’s instructions
had been that the crossing back he made
near Leesburg, some distance below the
territory occupied by McClellan’s army;
and between fifty and sixty miles in a di!
rect line from Chambersburg. The start
was made early on the morning of the 11th.
Nearly every cavalryman had an extra
horse led from his saddle, and being for
the most part newly shod and fed, the
whole cavalcade was in ‘fine spirits. Along
the streets and on the farm roads wagon
loads of goods and;produce were left stand-
ing without teams, the horses having been
“impressed” for the Confederacy. One
Virginian, who was expostulated with by
some weeping women because he took their
horses, answered: “Crying won’t do any
good. Your folks took nine blooded horses
from my father’s stable.”

IMPRESSING HORSES.
For a feint Stuart moved rapidly toward
Gettysburg, then turned south. At Em-
mettsburg the southern flag was greeted
with cheers, and the men had an ovation.
A Union courier was captured here with
dispatches showing that the =Union forces
were in strength at Frederick. and thus
warned, Stuart made another detour, avoid-
ing that town. As he drew near the river
and the line of McClellan’s communica-
tions with W'ashington, the situation be
came critical. Before daylight this same
day, Oct. 11, Gen. Pleasanton gathered his
scattered command, and set it in motion
on Stuart’s route north, keeping scouts,
however, well to the northeast. He soon
learned of the retrograde movement, and
faced his men about, aiming to reach the
Monocacy ahead of Stuart, whom he sus-
pected would go toward Poolesville.
In avoiding Frederick by the east Stuart
crossed the Monocacy above that town,
while Pleasanton, concentrating at Fred-
erick, crossed that stream just below, and
pushed on toward the Poolesville road by
way of Barnesville. Stuart was at this
moment dodging still, and having heard
that a Union force under Gen. Stoneman
was guarding Poolesville he decided to
cross over to the Monocacy again. His ad-
vance was preceded by 150 men in Union
uniform. Pleasanton’s advance squadron
met them on‘ the Barnesville road, ex-
changed friendly signals 'and allowed them
to draw near.
leader, Irving, of Lee’s brigade, ordered his
squadron to charge. It was done boldly,
and a cloud of sharpshooters sprang from"
their horses and advanced on the supports
which stood behind the Union cavalry. In
atwinkling Stuart’s horse battery came tof
the spot and opened, driving Pleasanton’s
men back to the Monocacy.
Rapidly now Stuart again lchanged his
course to White’s Ford, between Pooles-
ville and the Monocacy. Here he ran upon
200 infantry posted on a ridge, facing the
other way and covering the ford. A gun
was placed in position, seventy riflemen
were dismounted, and a swift dash across
a ravine and up the slope surprised and scat-
tered the picket, and the cavalcade rode on.
Cannon were planted at the Ford to cover
the crossing in case of. a tack, and in 'sin-
glo file the party moved across, preceded
by another cannon, which was posted on
the height beyond the river. Meanwhile
the troops at Poolesville under Stoneman
had been aroused, and'were on the march
up the river. They united with Pleas-
anton’s cavalry only to see the Confeder-
ates across the river, and to be greeted
with a saucy good-by salute from the gal-
lant Pelham, who commanded Stuart’s fly- .
ing battery. ‘
The raid was over. Stuart had not lost
a man, but brought back some wounded.
He brought in 1,200 led horses, the pick of
the rich farming country through which
he had ridden. The consternation in the
north was very great, and the authorities
blamed one another for the humiliating
result. President Lincoln is reported
to have got oil! another grim joke to
the effect that the affair reminded him of
a game the boys played which turned on
the saying, “Threetimes around. thenout."
Said'he, “Stuart has been around McClel-
lan twice, and if hedoes it again McClellan
will be out.” \
The truth was McClellan had nocavalry.
The government had notwokc-up to the
need for that arm. Stoneman, with a few
regiments, had thirty miles of river to
guard from the Virginia side, and Stuart

ENGINE HOUSE.
If it is a heavy reel or hose wagon
four could be provided for by making the
stalls a trifle smaller. Then there would
be two horses for the engine and two for
the hose. .
In a modern engine house everything is
arranged with a view to the most rapid
service. There is at all times steam in the
boiler. This is generated by a special gen-
erator, which may be placed in the basement
at the side of'the enm‘ne room, which con-
nects with the-steamer. These steam gen-
erators are nothing more or less than
auxiliary boilers which connect with the
steamer boiler. 'While these auxiliary
boilers do not maintain a. high pressure of
steam they give sufficient, so that in ashort
time the extra fire in the furnace of the
steamer gives it a proper working pressure.

FIRST STORY. '
The principal front door of the engine
house may or may not be made to swing
open automatically. It is used only for
the purpose of the passage of the fire appa-
ratus. There is a side entrance for the or-
dinary passage of the firemen when not
engaged in active duty. Between this door
and the large one in front is shown a circle,
with the center marked. This center indi-
cates the position of a brass pole about
3% inches in diameter, which extends from
the first up to and into the second floor.
The men who have their sleeping room
above grasp the pole and slide down it into
the engine room in case of an alarm. This
is quite a saving of time over the usual
method of coming down the stairway.
This arrangement is now common to all
first class department houses.
