A Line of Rattle

You often read about :" line of bat
tle," and, | dare say, think that the two
armies stand in two lines, but it is not so.
The army is divided up into divisions,
and there are often great gaps between
the divisions. They are posted in posi-
tions, or in commanding places-that is
on hills or in woods, or on the banks of
streams, in places where they will be best
able to resist or attack the enemy The
divisions are usually so placed that they
can support each other. You can under
stand line of battle pretty well, by i'm
agining a regiment here on Il hill, another
down in the valley, third in piece of
wood, with artillery and cavalry placed
in the best positions. If you want to
make it more real, when you are out in
the fields or pastures, with the hills all
around, just imagine that the enemy is
over on yonder hill, with ten thousand
men and twenty pieces of artillery. You
are General and have an equal number.
The enemy will come down that road,
spread out into the field, or creep up
through the wood, and attack YOU.
You can't exactly tell how many men
he will send on the right, or how many
on the center, or how many on the left,
so you must arrange your forces to sup
port each other. Then, toshift it, you are
to attack him. You don't know how his
troops are arranged. for he keeps them
concealed as well as he can. You don't
want many of your men killed. but do
want to win a victory. Now there is a
chance to try yours1ill in planning line
of battle. You must place your artillery
where it will do the most damage, and
receive the least from the enemy. You
must move your Infantry so that they
will not be cut off by the enemy before
they get near enough to cut them up in
return. You see that it is no small thing
to be General. These are great respon-
sibilities. .-ErcLapqe.

THE ROBIN HAS COME"
By ENNAL. cHALKER.

The robin has come! what pleasant soundl
How our pulses leap with merry bound,
While listening to its song
That Spring has eome-the beautiful Spring.
For which we've waited so long.
1t tells the snow has gone from the hills.
OF freedom again for the laughing rills,
And the sunbeams warm DER the tree-tops creep.
Waking the birds from their winters sleep,
And the flowers are coming again.
The robin has comet shouts the gladstone boy.
As be hears her song in its gushing joy,
While he sits in the cottage door,
All bathed in the sunshines golden Hood,
And he dreams of long rambles thro' the wood,
And over the hills once more.
To search mid the leaves for the 'bluebirds nest
On the green, yelyety grass TO rest,
When tired of roaming about;
Or to wander along by the singing brook,
In Its crystal waters to toss the hook,
In search of the silyery trout
The wild winds have uttered their last rude vail,
And gone with the frosts and SHOWS.
And he turns up the soil to the warm ar sunshine
Whistling for joy as he goes.
For. in visions bright he vieweth again
The soft winds toy with the golden grain,
In the fields his hands have titled;
And the delicate hue of the luscious peach,
And the crimson apple within his reach,
With which his orchards are hlled
The robin has eomel and the grass leaps out;
And the dear little children, with song and shout
Like lambs skip over the green,
And the poor and the Old so feeble and thin,
That all the winter the storms kept in,
In the suns warm rays are seem
The robin has comet Ger the sick ones face
Radiant smiles like sunbeams chase,
And the light comes back to her eye;
With joy she heareth its welcome lay,
And watches the clouds as they float away,
Leaving a ealms blue sky.
Through the long winter all racked with pain.
On her low couch weary, she IS lain,
And sighed for the gentle Spring,
But there's hope in her heart, and she trusted now
That the winds, so softly kissing her brow,
Will health, sweet health, her bring.
W Weleome. sweet bird, is the song you sing;
Welcome the tidings of joy you bring
Tidings of happier hours
Tnat " inter has gone with the winds so drear,
And Spring. the beautiful Spring, is here,
with birds. and bads, and flowers.

Emancipation.

The House of Representatives has Sec
onded the Presidents plan of Emancipa-
tion, and wepresume it will also 90 through
the Senate. The consideration of the
subject in the shape thus presented, brings
up the process of emancipation in the
free States, which may be briefly recounted.
The first Constitution of the State of
Pennsylvania, adopted in l776, declared
all men to be equally free, and made no
distinction Of color in the right of fran
chise. In lTS0, an act for the gradual alb
clifton of slavery in Pennsylvania was
passed; it decreed that negroes should re-
main slaves only until they became %
years of age. Various other acts were
subsequently passed, preventing kidnap-
ping, the slave trade, the separation of
families. &c. In 1888 the amended State
Constitution restricted voting to white
male citizens, though laws passed at later
dates allowed negroes to testify in Courts,
prohibited the retention of foreign slaves,
or the use of State .jails for the confne-
ment of fugitlves who had been recap
tured. In New Jersey the original Con
stitution did not restrict the right of suff-
rage to the whites, nor was that restriO-
ton imposed until 1920. Between 1904
and 1916, quite number of laws for the
amelioration, and finally the abolition, of
slavery passed the Legislature; in these
various laws humane provisions were in
serted with much wisdom, and though
slavery linSred longer in New Jersey
than anywhere else in the North, its final
disappearance was accomplished without
trouble, commotion or injury to single
soul on earth. New York took the hrst
steps towards emancipation in 17Sl and
lT99. Subsequently, various enactments
were added. in order that the law might
be thoroughly carried out. The Consti-
tuition of Massachusetts,, adopted in 1850.
declared all men to be born free, though
the Courts of Massachusetts, had decreed
blacks to be free as early as Hi. In
Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Con-
necticut and Rhode Island, steps towards
emancipation are recorded at the very
opening Of their history, ard the various
enactments of their Legislatures have been
steadily in that direction. The great
Northwest was saved from slavery at the
very beginning of its settlement, so that
Il has not had 10 undo any barbaric work
in It's progress towards power and enlight-
enment.-P Philadelphia Batlctn.

Mary smiled quietly-she was of too
gentle and forgiving nature to resent even
tne hypocrisy OF her mother-ln-law-and
IN the bright future, opening before her,
she had forgiveness for all.
'Harry's wife is going to be married."

soon after.

A Thrilling Scene-Four Small
Children Drifted Sea on a Cake
Of Ice-They are Rescued by the
Father of One of Them.

Of Ice-They are Rescued by the
Father of One of Them.
From the Boston Traveller.
Last Saturday, four small boys, from
five to ten years of age, visited the sea
shore, on the nOrtherly side of Sayni Hill,
| Dorchester, and heedlessly stepped upon
piece of floating ice. The tide was Just
then on the ebb, and fioated the boys off
some seventy or eighty rods from the
shore into deep water, before their peril
Gus condition was discovered. The alarm
being given. several of the neighbors ran
ea...1d the boys too far off to be rescued
without a boat, and there was no boat
near to be made available in season to
save them. The little piece of ice on
which they stood. being not more than
five or six feet square, was rocking by the
force of the water and the uneven balan-
cling of the boys weight upon it.
In this emergency, Mr.. Joseph s. Hill
lard, father of one of the youngest boys,
arrived upon the beach just in time to see
two of the smallest slip from their posi-
tion on the ice into the water. With adj
mirable presence of mind, and equal for
titude, he threw off his coat, and with a
stable door taken from its hinges for the
purpose, he pushed il before him, and
SWAN to their relief While on his way
he directed the two boys who were still
standing upon the ice. to extend stick
which they had-it being a small rattan
to the two boys who were in the water
to catch hold upon. In this way one lit
tic fellow, probably five and half or six
years of age, glaspcd it, and was thereby
,,Ial 70, l. -
The stick was then extended to the
other, and he caught hold upon it and
was partly drawn out of the water, when,
losing his hold, he fell back again.
This was Mr.. billiards son. Let the read
er imagine that thrilling scene-this ter
rible trial to that fathers affectionate
heart in witnessing his little son sinking
the second time into the water under
such painful circumstances.
But Mr. II. was equal to the crisis
still he cautioned and counseled the boys
while swimming to their rescue-telling
them to keep perfectly quiet, and again
reach out their stick to his little boy,
which they did and again the poor chill
ed and almost exhausted child grasped
it, and was thus sustained with only head
and neck above the water. until reached
by his father. Mr.. III. then, by means of
the door and piece of ice, kept the boys
out of water some half an hour or more,
when boat was obtained and took them
all safe to land.
1t seems almost miraculous that any of
these boys were saved, when the depth !
of water and distance from the shore, and |
the small piece Of ice onwhich they were,
are taken into consideration.

Howell to the cars, and sat down with her
in the pleasant room, where, surrounded
with books, and every home comfort, they
usually spent their quiet evenings, as real
ly unconscious in their own persons OF
wars shocks, disasters and sufferings, IS
if smiling peace walked TRANQUILITY thD'
every portion of the land.
Yes, that is real trouble" Mr.. Hari-
rup echoed the words.
! WAS it for her own safety that Mrs.
Howell made this great sacrifice" resumed
his wife. WAS her home and all her
worldly goods in actual peril, that she
sent out her son to face the common en-
emy? She had far less to lose in this re-
spect than you and |; and less to gain in
the restoration of peace and order. And
yet, what we have so far given to the
cause, Is as nothing in comparison to her
offering. just think of it. Is not the
life of a child more precious than silver or
gold? / am glad you helped herso freely.
If 1t had been our own son standing in
the place of hers, would thought of the
money to be expended in going to him,
have touched your consciousness for a
moment? And shall we not give willing
ly, and in thankfulness, that our own home
is spared, to help another in so deep a
sorrow?"
"Yes-yes. Your thoughts but echo
mine" answered Mr.. Hardrup. Better
help hundred poor mothers to reach
their wounded and dying sons, than to go
on one such fearful errand of our own
TO-night's experience has turned my
thoughts in a new direction. God forgive
me, that ! fretted over a diminished in
come-that bore with so i'll grace the
light burden that Is resting on my shoul-
ders, while hundreds of thousands, like
the poor widow in Scripture, who cast in
all her living, are yielding up all their
whole possessions"
And we share the benefit TO come from |
this common sacrifice - said Mrs. Hard |
rup. IF we lose our national existence |
if these wicked enemies prevail, what |
will be our condition? Will this pleasant |
home remain to us? Will a remnant of
property be left? Who can say? A dismem-
bered nation; war inspired by the dead
lest hate, between the broken fragments:
foreign insult and aggression; violence
and wrong, throughout the land. shud-
der at the picture! If our enemies prove
too strong for us-and only through our
apathy is this pOssible-think of that life
that Is before our children in the coming
years. Better any sacrifice, than this ca
lamityl And now comes the question my
we doing our part in this
great extremity"
Il fear not, so far as | am concerned"
was the out-spoken answer. but, hold
myself instructed by the lesson tonight;
and, in all ways that Providence may in
1icate, through the teaching of events, l
will endeavor to do my duty, either in
lctual deeds, or a cheerful acceptance of
whatever may come as my share of the
common burden. Better give up all, than
ose our country; for, in losing that, we
'uffer the greatest possible calamity.

Faster and faster they ran; less and less
