"He jests at scars who never felt wound"

''He jests at scars who never felt wound"
Shakespeare
How much we all enjoy descriptions Of
battle, at least those of us who have no
dear friend exposed to the vcissitudes OF
war. How delightful 1t is to sit in our
comfortable armchair, in the sweet re.
pose of home, and enjoy the mental ex-
citement of
''The pomp and circumstance of glorious war"
We see, in imagination, and hear
-"the neghing steed, and the shrill
trump,
The spirit-stirring drum, the ear-piercng fife,
tho mortal engines, whose rude
threats
The immortal Jove's dread clamors counterfeit"
We propose to ourselves pleasant trip
some day, to those scenes made memora-
BILE by war; aod We imagine the feelings
with which we shall gaze on those places
which have been "the valleys of death" to
our countrymcn. Perhaps we give a
casual thought to the fallen brave, but it
is proud remembrance, as Of those who
live undying in history. Such is the
mask with which our fancy hides the g i'm
and terrible features of war. For in-
stance, who that reads Tennyson's "Charge
of the Six Hundrcd,' thinks sadly over
those brave hearts, 50 rich in courage to
endure and to accomplsh-destroye for
what? No, borne along on the poets
song of triumph, we omit, with him, our
wall for the dead. What did Napoleon
and Caesar sec in war? A pathway to
the throne of their country. To them the
voice of victory was the accomplishment
of their ambition, and it drowned the wall
of the widow and the cry of the father.

before him the true picture of war, he
would, for the sake of any attainable

what man sits down and counts the cost,
before he engages in the warfare.

A Dutchman who keeps a country store
in the neighborhood of Boston, had ten
pieces of calico on his shelves when the
prices began to advance. He sold out at
the old rates, and said he-"Whcn went

eight. 1 took my eight pieces home and
marked high profit on 'em, and sold dem

twelve pieces, but the calcoes had gone

A QUESTION.

! close my eyes, and once again
The old old house and the cedar tree,
With its solemn shade on the moonlit lawn,
Clear as vision comes back to me.
The red geraniums mourn for the sun,
Yet black they look in the moons full light
The loose white roses over the porch
Smell family sweet in the summer night.
I 60 through the porch and through the hall,
And then pause by the parlor door:
Half open il stands, and the moonlight streams
Through open windows upon The floor.
Ny love sits at the organ and plays,
A wild old melody strange and low,
Dreamilv singing ballad quaint,
One that sang TO her long ago.
Softly steal to her side-she turns,
Breaking off in the midst of a line,
"Love, was thinking of you," she says;
And then she puts both her hands in mine.
She never sings in the parlor now
In perfect day, by the CLASSY sea,
She sings song that the angels know,
But oh does she ever think of me2
