A Thrilling Sketch.

The light of the October sun fell in
.lantins rays upon our fair gem Of the
mountains-the Winnipisseogec. The
waves rippled aud curled in the soft
breeze, and fanuel the greea Islands in
rutflings of silver.
1t was eloriou, scene-that white,
plittering lake, that clear, clouIIess sky,
aud that eternal wall OF mountains, keep
ing silent watch over all Perhaps some
such thoughts fitted through the mind OF
farmer Horizons good wife as she sat
leisurely darning her husbands stockings
in the rudy glow which came IN through
the uncurtalned window.

wonder-strange it's nigh three O'Clock

"Why sent Mary to the forty acre

Mrs. Horton was in that very uncom-
Portable state betweeR grief and anger
she was troubled about the absence OF her
child, fearing some evil had beiallen her
and she was little inclined to be angry
because she wa, not back to do the wol

Tho True Irrepresslble Con-
f1icl.

The Louisville Courier, paper IN the
interest OF the Border State rebels, said,
not long ago, in giving its opinion on the
war
This has been called a tratricidal war
by some, by others an irreprcsslble con-
6ict between freedom and slavery. We
respectfully take issue with the authors
of both OF these ideas. We are not the
brothers Of the Yankees, and the slavery
question is merely a pretext, not the
cause of the war. The true irrcprcsslblc
conflict lies fundamentally in the hcredl-
tary hostility, the sacred animosity, the
eternal antagonisn hetwecn the two rae
es engaged. The Norman cavalier cannot
brook the vulgar familiarity of the Sax
on Yankee, while the latter is continually
devising some plan to bring down his
aristocratic neighbor to his own detested
level. Thus was the contest waged i'll
the old United States. So long as Dick
inson doughfaccs were to be bought, and
Cochrane towards to be frightened, 50
long was the Union tolcrable to South
ern men but when, owing to divisions IN
our rank, the ankee hirelings P laced
one OF their own spawn over US. Political
connection became uncndurable, aud sep
araton necessary to preserve our SELF
respect.
Such talk as this has become very COM
mon at the South. The ignorance W ieh
has been one Of the marked characterls-
tics of Southern Society has gone so far
that the Southerners no longer know who
were there own fathers and are ap-
parently incapable Of understanding the
true nature of the war into which they
rccklessly plunged. Nothing could be
more foolish than this talk about "a war
of races" sacred animosity,' g eter'
nal antagonism." 1t is no war OF races

Potomac, in camp near Falmouth, Va.
to his father:
{" How much better are your letters

trary tendency. Papers are sent to them

No wonder the patriotism Of many is
destroyed. AS for me, | wish to see tho

who will soon have to assume the rcspon-

Although we may have to transmit to

essary to prepare them to maintain and
perpetuate these institutions, which We

We, as citizens Of Franklin, are proud
to say that we have never been found in

report 90 FORTH that We were allowing our

that system, which lies at the very foun-
dation of everything worthy Of applause
in man. In conclusion we would say,
let us, as citizens, as school officers, and
as parents, make united effort to ad-
vance the standard Of our schools, and

The Coxcomb Punished.

In the year 1905 the peace OF Iilsit
terminated the conquest Of Napoleon IN
Germany, and gave the people IN those
countries momcutary respite. Prussia
thoroughly exhausted by the tremendous
efforts she had made to carry on the war
with France, was compelled to reduce her
army to a peace footing.
Several officers OF that power having
obtained an unlimited leave OF absence
met very often at Hamburg, to enjoy IN
common the various pleasures OF military
idlencss.
One day in September, SIX of them
having dincd together, and made more
than one libaton to Bacchus, they, at
the approach Of night, repaired to the
Cafe de Ia B2ur.e, Que of the most no.

Little Jenny.

Press the sweet lips together
They've no word more to say;
Press the sweet eyes together
hey look no love to-d day.
Lay the sweet hands together
Sweet bonds that no longer cnthrall;
Lay the sweet feet together
They run no more at my call;
; Put the sweet curls together
THEY'LL glisten no more in the sun;
Put the sweet crrls together,
And leave to me only one
Only this. to kiss and kiss.
When my heart is like 10 break
Put the sweet curls together
To pillow no more my cheek.
Darling, she so loved the flowers,
Yet holds them so loosely now
Can it be that in lovclier bowers
Thou rt careless of us below
y Jenny my life my child
These cold lips with kisses l smother!
y Jenny my brain will go wild
y answer the cry Of mother
The robin this morning was here,
The sparrow again heard;
Vet listened no longer the car
Which weicom cd the earliest bird.
All could the robin sing:
When no answering shout he found
Or flea, on joyous wing.
And her little fee, SO bound
Don't bury her. please. very deep,
Nor drop any stones on the cover:
4 tfIink she will smile in her sleep
At my step on the grass aboveher.
V, not too deep-too deep
Too far from the blossoming clover:
She will smile. aye, zen in this sleep,
At my kiss on the grass above her.
And throw in the flowers above,
'Twould gricve her TO miss them so;
They ever seemed glad of her love
And are doubly akin 10 her now.
o God with her earliest breath
gave her to Thee that morn
When close by the gates of death
My own little darling was born.
And now 10 the same dark gate
come with more sorrow aud pain;
And here with nv darling wait
To give her to Thee asain.

4 Good Story.

In the Editors Drawer Of Harper's Maga

pois soldiers and an Illinois Colonel-the
latter, Col. Og'esby. well known to fame:
"Well; one day his fiie and drum majors
went out into the woods to practice new

while the fifer, by 4 bold and rapid flank
movement. charged in the rear. Twas soon
over; a7few well directed volleys of clubs
and other persuasives were applied, and pig
gy went dead again, martyr to his love for
music But how to get the deceased pork

noso. After considerable discussion, an idea
strikes the drummer (not so as to hur. HIM;
We will put him in the drum Just the
thing by hokey! said the ffer. One head
was taken oul and the hog slowed ir, and
our heroes started for their quarters, carry
ing their drum between them. In the mean
time the regiment went out for dress pa
ra1e; and the Colonel, somewhat vexed at
the absence of his principal musicians, no
sooner saw the gents than, in voice of rep
rimand, he ordered them to take their places
with the music. The drum bearers halted,
lo"ked at each other, then at the Colonel
but said never a word. The Colonel repeat
ed his order in style SO emphatic that it
couldn't be misunderstood. The dealers in

explanation had become military necessi.
