THE MERRY LITTLE MAIDEN.
ny KENNETH NJ. DEAN.

!: Was in the fragrant autumn,
Whca tic leaves were crisp and Serc.
When the wind in mourntu! murmurS,
Whispered OF the dying year
That merry little maiden.
With her locks Of golden hue,
Came into our simple hamlet,
Mud The worthy Squire : pew.
u:t watched her as she lightly
Passed along litc, 5 chccGuered way,
Wondering if there was not something
Deeper meath the aspect gay.
Soon learned to wait her coming,
Aud my heart grew sad apacc,
When missed her welcome to0tSt"p
And her happy, cheerful face.
Then my heart grew sore witlIiu ms,
Vain I stroye the wound to heal;
Round il bound in hopeless mcShcS,
Silken cha;uS Of love did steal.
Hand ard foot she held me captive
THOUGH unconscious Of her prize,
And radiant. sparkling sunlight.
Ne CT lorSUok thoSc precious eyes.
When the s;,rin@ he'd chased the shadows
OF IN. Ice-kiag f;,r away:
Then asked her If she d venture
To appoint the hadpy day.
Still the merry little maiden
Trips along the vale OF lie.
And my greatest earthly treasure
Is nv ever bonnie wife.

The Green-eYed Monster.

A nice respectable lady, not q
thousand miles away, had long no
ticed, to her dismay, that her 'worser
half" was growing toolishly suSplc-
ious and jealous Of her. She resolved
to teach him lesson. Some even
ings since, as he was leaving, she
told him he need not hurry back
she would not be lonely she wished
her ducky to enjoy himself, etc.
Benedict smelt veritablr mice under
that hypocrisy, and resolved to be
avengod. about eight o'clock an
individual; about his size might
have been seen creeping cautiously
along to the door, and no!seessIy
Benedict peeped in.
Just as he expected, there they
were--a pair Of boots, a coat on the
back of a chair, and a hat OF the
tab!a. Benedict shivcred like az
aspea leal, and he stopped, pulled off
his boots and drew a drew a pistol
from his coat pocket With 'resolu-
lion flashing from his eye he made
tracks for the bedroom. There he
was. kneeling ut tie bedside, coat

head Up rom the foot o. the bed
Benedict seized the body, and
found it to be miscellaneous collec-
ton Of old coats, vests, pillows,
hand!zcrchicfs, and the Ike, made
up expressly for the occasion.
Say, my dear, what does all this
mean ?" exclaimed the husband,
with blank and shecpish look.
Well, dear, replied the wife, u
did get lonely, after all, and just
amused myself by dressing up THAI
puppet, ana making believe you
were at home. I'm sure, dldn t
think you'd suspect.
There, there said the chagriued
husband, say 10 more about it; |

PEEP At GEN. GILMORE.
We pass the orderly and take a peep
THAT young man with full beard, bushy hair,
Isquare forehead, and black, restless eye, is
: Gen. Gilmore. He is not very demonstra.
tive, and as he is a man Of business, you
must not expect An invitation to stay oil
I. night.
I He is not rapid in conversation, but choos-
"a his words. as he does positions for batter.
les. with elaboration. He comprehends you
however, instantly, and if you are deserter
giving him information his questions are few
but comprehensive, or if you speak Of his
present operations you will gain no addition.
Al knowledge, but inevitably conclude that
he is man who has unbounded confidence
in himselfa his ability to execute his plans.
This self confidence however is far from
pride, neither. does it manifest itself in a
naughty demeanor. He is now smoking a
cigar. and tipped leisurely back in his chair,
he is reading novel. That is cool, you
say. Yes, il is very cool for this climate. and
more so, for his present position which is
within range Of the enemy's guns. He has
been up to the front this morning under fire,
and. assuring himself that everything is
working admirably, he returns to his tent,
issues orders, dispatches members Of his
staff h:ther and thither, keeps himself posted
in regard to every detail, and now he is TAX
ing siesta.
We will not disturb him in this moment of
peace. And yet we might as well have said,
''General, Charleston is bound to FALL" and
watched the sly twinkle of his eye. for here
comes apace Col. Turner, his Chief of Artil.
-ery, young. sprightly officer, with intelli.
vyence from the front. This, then, is Gen.
Gilmore, who reduced Pulaski by siege when
older heads laughed at his plans, and is now
prosecuting similer siege, though one far
more gigantic and arduous.
