A Coon AND BEAUTIFUL IDEA

A Coon AND BEAUTIFUL IDEA.-We
perceive that Governor Curtin of
Pennsylvania, has hit upon the happy
thought of buying some ten or twenty
acres of the great and glorious battle
field of Gettysburg as q cemetery for
the heroes who there laid down their
lives that the nation might live. This
beautiful idea we hope will be fully
carried out, including special division
of the field to the soldiers of each State
connected with the army of the Union,
and national obelisk on Cemetery
Hill, with the names engraved upon il
Of every regiment, and with book in
side containing the name, State, regi-
ment and company of every soldier in
those three days battles and in the out
side incidental operations. We are
glad to be assured at the same time
that the Union soldiers of this war,
who have died on other fields, will not
be forgotten, but that in some suitable
way the government will preserve their
names for the remembrance OF great
ful posterity.

PRETTY GooD.-A good joke is told
of an Indiana captain and one of his
men, during the seige of Vicksburg.
The captain is one of those fiery little
fellows who think it cowardly to keep
out of danger when one can do it just
as well as not. While out with his
company in the rear of Vieksburg, two
or three shells came whizzing over
them, when his -men instinctively fell
upon their faces, and sheltered them
selves as well as they could behind the
hill. When the men had arisen the
captain exclaimed /" Men! what
mode of warfare is that - THAT,
captain," replied a waggish corporal,
+" is a lay mode F' The captain, it is
fair to presume, saw the joke.

CHAPTER III.
GLENBURN.


We rode along slowly, with the reins
lying loosely upon the proud neck of
the noble little Spaniard, who checked
his lively pace to our mood. Gleck 81
Company had sent Nathan out to a
country village on important business
for the firm, and had furnished him with
one of their own light wagons, and this
beautiful little horse. He kindly in
vited me to accompany him, and OBJ
tanned permission for me to leave.
Nathan had risen very rapidly in the
estimation of Gleck & Company within
the last year. He had been in their
employ for six years, and carefully
saved his earnings. About year be-
fore he made an investment of his saw
ings in Minnesota land. A worthy
young friend of his went out and took
claim on the west bank of the Missis-
sippi, directly opposite St. Anthony,
and Nathan had risked thousand dol.
lars in his hands, and this property had
already tripled in value. The shrewd
firm of Gleck..&ICompany foresaw that
this investment was to be source of
wealth to young Morse, and were al
ready talking of offering him partner
ship. They had great confidence in
his mercantile abilities. So it was quite
understood that Morse would doubtless
soon become the Junior partner of their
house.
Our slow riding at last brought us to
a neat village shut in the hills and
woodlands, and marked by its perfect
stiffness. Sabbath quiet reigned in the
streets, and the shrill cry of ehanticleer
was the only sign Of life or greeting at
the village inn, where we stopped. The
ereaking signboard bore dingy name
that looked like '' Glenburn Hall, inti-
mating that this Sunday village re-
joiced in the Scottish name of Glen

called to perform a similar duty for
weeks. A look of pain, had, settled
down upon Nathan's face as he stood
in the low doorway and looked out
upon the village.

tie village was the two churches which

The churchen bell swings with solemn rhyme.
Solemn and sweet through the soft, still air,

Pattering light on the dewy grass
Chlldren's feet through the meadow pass;

With floods of crimson and ambre light:
He crowns queen and weds bride,
As they walk to the brown church side by side.
Chime, chime, mournfully chime! -
Alas for the changes that come with time;
Years bring lessons of toll and care,
Rose-hued palaces vanish in air.
He in the city, far away, 8
Sits in cushioned pew, to-day,
Wearily shuts his aching eyes,
Sits in his cushioned pew and sighs-
Thinks of the meadow where, years ago,
Blue eyed violets used to grow;
Of clustering curls and reek brown eyes
Thinks of the long, long past, and sighs-
Sighs as he holds the open door,
While wife and children pass out before,
And wonders if ever this life may seem
Half SO fair as boyhood's dream
And she kneels down by a churchyard stone
She bears the burdens of life alone:
Her brow is furrowed by years of care,
And her voice hath a sorrowful tone in prayer.
Her heart goes back to the sweet spring time,
When life grew rich with JOY sublime,
And she wonders if aught the blest shall see
In the after-life, more fair will be-
Chime, chime, solemny chime
Loves Eternity follows Time,
And the hopes whose graves we have made will
tears,
Shall deepen the joy of bis glorious years.

He dropped the reins on my lap and
sprang eagerly from the wagon, and
walked up to the garden gate. A little
miss, with long, faxen curls, came out
and asked him if he wanted "to see
father" He asked her for drink of
water, which she brought, and gave to
him with sweet smile. He smiled
very sweetly upon her in return, and
begged her to give him few of those
blush roses under the window.
If mother is willing, sir" she an
swered, and ran into the honse, but
soon returned with pair of shears
with which she cut large boquet of
the finest blush and white roses. He

curls, thanked her and walked away.

draw him out.

that followed. a5

stepped forward to offer Nathan asss

up himself, replaced bis hat and said
"Come, Tom, let's go back"

me that nothing had disturbed him, but

The sun was most down, and bur-
