A MODEL CoMPANY.-While the Scott
Legion was encamped at Greencastle, one
of the boys was placed on guard by the
learned commander Of the corps. Wish.
ing to be- satisfied that after all his in.
structions his man understood his duty,
the captain walked to the post and passed
by, meeting with no resistance or objec.
tion. Looking at the sentry for a mo-
ment, he asked him if that was the way
he performed his duty.
"Oh, I'm performing my duty" was
the reply.
What did you let me pass for?-
Didn't the sergeant give you the counter
sighf"
81 know nothing Of your countersign,
but the sergeant told me that the first
man who came along would give me
brandy and wine, and not q drop of Ell
theE have ! seen, although half dozen
have passed me. But don't care for the
wine-I only want the brandy"
The password was BraDdywine, d" and
he new aspirant for military honors had
snly comprehended 1t in the sense proba-
bly, most familiar to him.

HEARTS OF GOLD.

Here's to the hearts that love US,
The forms our own have claSped,
The faces we have gaEed upon,
The hands that We have graspedj
For though within our circle,
Old Time gap hath cleft,
There are stiif some pleasures spared 10 US,
And still some dear ones left.
Here's to the hearts that love US;
May they faithful still remain,
Till the Summer sun Of happiness
Shall shine on US again.
The hearts that ne'er forSake US,
Nor at fortunes tr0wn grOw cold,
Are richer far than "peATls Of price,"
For they are Hearts Of Gold.
Plant, plant within our boSOms
One spray Of iVy-green.
To climb around the ruined home
OF pleasures that have been;
But let us not, repining,
UDgraIefully forget,
That though some storms have come on as,
Sunbeams are left US yet.

The golden sea its mirror spreads
Beneath the golden skies,
And but narrow strip between
OF land and shadow lies.
The cloud-like rocks, the rock-liks clouds,
Dissolved in glory float.
And midway in the radiant food
Hangs silently the boat.
The sea 10 but another sky,
The sky Q sea As we'll,
And which is earth, and which the heaven,
The eye can scarcely tell.
So when for us life'S evening hour
Soft fading shall descend,
May glory, born Of earth and heaven,
The earth and heaven blend.
Flooded with peace the spirit float.
With silent Taptures glow,
Till where earth ends and heaven begins
The soul Shall scarcely know.
