GENERAL HARDEE AND TIE
BTRAGGLER.
Of peace.

We recently heard camp anecdote,
which, we think, is worthy of being pre-
served in print. While on forced
march in some of the army movements in
Mississippi, last summer, General Hardee
came up with straggler who had fallen
some distance in the rear of his command.
The General ordered him forward, wher
the soldier replied that he was weak and
broken down. not having. had even half
rations for several days.
"That's hard" replied the General,
"but you must push toward my good fel.
low, and join your command, or the Pro-
vost Gaurd will take you in hand"
The soldier halted, and looking up at
the General, asked: .
"Aint you General Hsrdee?''
"Yes," replied the General.
Didn't you write 'Hardee's Tactics"
"Yes." --..
"Well, General, I've studied them tao
tics, and have them by heart. You've
got an order thar to double column at
half distance, sint you?"
"Well," asked the General, ''what has
that order got to do with your case?"
I'm good soldier, General and obey
all that is nossibla to he ohayd. hut if
your orders can show me an order in
your tactics, or any body else's tactics,
to double distance on half rations, then
I'll give in."
The General, with a hearty laugh, ad-
mitted that there were no tactics to meet
the case, and putting spurs to his horse
rode toward.

rRoN THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY.

~ us "hAAAhks
Up from the meadows rich with corn, ..
Clear in the cool September morn, ....
The clustered spires Of Frederick stand,
Green-walled by the hills of Maryland. .
Round about them orchards sweep,
Apple and peach trees fruited deep,
Fair as garden Of the Lord,
To the famished eye Of the rebel horde,
On the pleasant morn Of the early fall,
When Lee marched over the mountain wall,
Over the mountains winding down, ....
Horse and foot, into Frederick Town.
Forty flags with silver stars,
Forty flags with their crimson bars,
Flapped in the morning wind--the sun
Of noon looked down and saw not one.
Up rose old Barbara Frietchie, then,
Bowed with her founcore years and ten;
Bravest of all in Frederick Town,
She took up the flag the men hauled down;
In her attic window the staff she set,
To show that one heart was loyal yet.
Up the street came the rebel tread, .. ..
Stonewall jackson riding ahead.
Under his slouched hat, left and right,
He glanced-the old flag met his sight
"Haltr-the dust brown ranks stood fast.
"Fire!"-out blazed the rifle blast.
1t shivered the window, pane, and sash;
1t rent the banner with seam and CASH
Quick rs it fell from the broken staff,
Dame Barbara snached the silken scarf;
She leaned far out the window sill,
And shook it forth with royal will.
"Shoot, if you must, this gray old head,
But spare your country's flag" she said. r
A shade of aadness-a blush Of shame,
Over the face Of the leader came;
The nobler nature within him stirred
To life at that woman's deed and word;
"Who touches hair of yon gray head,
Dies like dog-mareh onl' he said.
All day long through Frederick street,
Sounded the tread Of marching feet.
All day long that free flag tossed
Over the heads of the rebel host
Ever its torn folds rose and fell
On the loyal winds that loved it well;
And through the hill-gaps sunset light,
Shone over it a warm goodnight
Barbasa Frietchie's work is DER,
And the rebel rides on his raids no more.
Honor to her-and let tear
Fall, for her sake, on Stonewalls bier.
Over Barbara Frietche's grave,
Flag of Freedom and Union wavel
Peace and order and beauty draw,
Round thy symbol of light and law;
And ever the stars above look down,
On thy stars below, in Frederick Town.

What is gratitude9 .-,
Gratitude is the memory of the heart.
What is hope9
Hope is the blossom of happiness.
What is the difference between hope and de-
sire2
Desire is tree in leaf, hope is tree in flower,
and enjoyment is a tree in fruit.
What is eternity? " ,H ..'a
A day without yesterday or to-morrow-a
line that has no end.
What is time?
A line that has two ends-a path which be-
gins in the cradle, and ends in the tomb.
What is God? H
The necessary being, the sum of eternity the
machinist of nature, the eye of justice, the watch
maker Of the universe, the soul of the would.
Does God reason7 a"a
Man reasons because he doubts-he deliber
ates, he decides God is omniscient; He never
doubts; He, therefore never reasons.

THE MAID OF THE MILL

4lrf
There is lonely mill close beside the
little Hamlet of Udorf, near the Rhine
shore, between the villages of Hersel and
Ursel. on the left bank below Bonn. This
mill is said to have been the scene of the
following story;
1t was on bright Sunday morning,
'sages long ago" that the miller of this
mill, and his whole family, went forth to
hear the holy mass at the nearest church,
in the village OF Hersel. The mill, which
was also his residence, was left in charge
of servant girlnamed Hannchen or len
ny. a stout-hearted lass, who had lived
with him in that capacity. An infant
child, of an age unfit for church was lett
in her charge likewise. The girl was
busily employed in preparing dinner for
| lie return of her nIaster and his family,
when who should enter ali Of a sudden but
an old sweetheartof hers, named Heinrich
Bottelor. lie was an idle, e,graeeess fellow,
whom the miller had forbidden his house,
but whom Jenny, with the amiatle per-
lyersity peculiar to her sex, only liked,
perhaps. Al the better, because Others
gave him nolcountenance. She was glad
to see him, and she told him so, too; and
although in the midst Of her work, she
Rotonly got him something to eat at once,

TWILIGHT THOUGHTS.
BY MINNIE NAY.


Sitting in the gathering shadows
Ofthe twilight's tender glow,
Well known forms came fitting by me
OF the happy long ago;
Shadows that looked dim and vacant,
Into loved forms seemed to glide,
Old age. manhood blithesome childhood
Now again are by my side.
Thro' the time past family ringing,
Steals music sweet and clear;
Startling up e.olden echoes,
With their notes of merry cheer.
One by one the links OF memory
Gently glide 70 place again,
T5.i N harmony comp .etel,
Forms once more he golden chain
Listen to the song that's swelling,
Fatally first, then clear aud sweet;
Tells, OF sorrows past forever,
Sings OF happiness complete;
Nor shal cease the joyous measure,
Till wsg} the bright throng above,
Loud tRy 4stbem is repeated
In ,. 5 whore all is love.

A Mexican Romance.

The Paris correspondence of the LondeHA
Times relates that among the prisoners
brought to Frahce recently,is a young
Indian woman, only twenty three years
of age, who was licutenant-colonel of the
regiment of Zscetecas, and who, in thsA
war of sevan years, rosestep by step FROM
theranks, by her courage and talents.-sss
Originally she followed her husband TO
the army and was soon promoted to the
rank of second lieutenant for her distin-
guishea bravery The death of her hus-
band, killed in action, afforded her an op-
portunity of, ayenging him, and of, rising
another step. The French defeat at
Guadalupe on the 5th of Mag. 1862, sob-
tanned for. her the rank of, ,lieutensnt-col-,
,epel, in which position she again greatly
distinguished herself during the siege 81
Pucbla. This singular woman is said To
handle the sword like irst-rate fencing
master aud She made herself rot only res
spected but feared by her soldiers, who
looked upon her as supernatural being.
After Ortega surrendered at discretion 40
Puebla, she was brought to- Vera Crux,
and was lodged on board the Rhome until
that vessel sailed for Francs Her order
of en- mbarkation mentioned her rank and
gave her right to sit at the field ofiicersf
table. She is said TO be of agreeable psJ-l
sonal appearance, although, as might be
expected, rather masculine in her ways.
