From the Atlantic Monthly.1
The Skater.


The skater lightly laughs and glides,
unknown that beneath the ice
Whereon he carves his fair device
stiffened corpse in silence slides.
1t glareth upward at his play;
Its cold, blue, rigid fingers steal
Beneath the treading of his heel;
1t floats along and floats away.
He has not seen its horrors pass
His heart is blythe: the village hears
His distant laughter; he careers
In festive waltz athwart the glass.
We are the skaters, we who skim
The surface OF Lifs's solemn food,
And drive with gladness in our blood,
A daring dance from brim to brim.
Our feet are swift, our faces burn,
Our hopes aspire like soaring birds;
The world takes courage from our words,
And sees the golden time return.
But ever near us, silent, cold,
Float those who bounded from the bank
With eager hearts. like US, and sank
Because their feet were OVERLOAD.
They sank through breathing holes of vice,
Through treachefous sheens of unbelief;
They know not their despair and grief;
Thear hearts and minds are turned TO ice.

1t Pays 10 Take the Papers.

A capital story is told US of an old farmer
in the northern part of this county, who had
been "saving up" to take mortgage of 49,.
900, held against him by man near the
sea shore. The farmer had saved up all the
money in gold, fearing to trust the banks in
these war times. Week before last, he lug.
ged down his gold and paid it over, when the
following colloquy cnsued: "Why, you don't
mean to give this $4,000 in gold do you9"
said the lender.
eyes, certainly" said the farmer. 81 was
afraid of the pesky banks, so I've been saving
up my money in yellow boys for you
this long time"
Cali right" responded the lender, ''only
thought you didn't take tie papers, that's
ALL"
"Take the papers! No sir, not I. They
have gone on 50 since the war has been agoing
that wont hive one of the dish things
about. But. the money is all right, isn't itP''
Eyes, all right, $4,000 in gold. All right
here's your note and mortgage"
And well he might have called it all right,
as the premium on the gold that day was %
per cent, and his gold was not only worth the
face of the bond, but $40 besides, enough to
have paid for his village newspaper for him
self and posterity for at least three centuries.

o. The contrabands at Helena, Ark, are
having hard time oft, from the neglect Of
the Government officials. A correspondent Of
the indianapolis Journal says they are in a
wrctched condition, crowded together in small
tents like hogs, covered with filth and vermin,
lily clothed and far worse fed, and, lacking
proper medical attendance, they die daily in
large numbers. They throng some Of the
camps, begging for meat and bread, and
stealing everything that is not carefully
watched. Some of them are quartered near
our picket line, and the writer has often seen
them hunting and catching rats, and, after .
slight dressing and cooking, eat them with
avidity. They Turk in the woods, di. from
