THE LONGING FOR HOME.

BY JEAN NGELow.
A song Of o boat!
There was once boat on blllowi
Lightly she rocked to her port remote,
And the foam was white In her wake like snow,
And her frail mast bowed when the breeze would
blow,
And bent like wand OF willow.
Isbaded mine eyes ono day when boat
Went courtesying over the billow,
marked her course till, q dancing mote,
She faded out on the moonlit foam,
And stayed behind In the dear loved homej
And my thoughts all day were about the boat,
And my dreams upon the pillow.
Ipray you hear my song OF q boat,
For 10 Is but short
My boat, you shall and none fairer aaoat,
In river or port.
Long looked out for the lad she bore,
On the open, desolate sea,
And think he sailed to the heavenly shore,
For he came not back to me
All mel
A song OF nest
There was once nest in hollow,
Down In the MOSES and knotgrass pressed,
Son aud warm, and full to the brim,
vetches leaned over II purple and dim,
With buttercup buds to follow.
Ipray you hear my song Of nest,
For 1t is not long
You shall never light in summer quest
The bushes among
Shall never light on prouder sitter.
iairer nestful, nor ever know
A softer sound than their tender twitter,
That wind-like did como and so.
1 had nestful once Of my own,
All happy, happyI!
Right dearly loved them, but when they
were grown
They spread out their wings to fly
Oh one after one they few away
Far up to the heavenly blue,
To the better country, the upper day,
And-l wish was going too.
Ipray you, what is tho nest to rue,
My empty nest!
And what Is the shore where stood to see
My boat sail down TO the west'
Can call that homo whore anchor yet,
Though my good man has sailed'
Can call that home where my nest was set,
Now all its hope hath failed,
Nay, but the port where my sailor went,
And tho land where my nestlings be,
There Is the home whore my thoughts are sent,
The only home for me
All me

YANKEE TRIcK.-A lottcr from the front
at Cold Harbor, in the Tribune, describes
the tedium experienced by the men In tho
trenches, and the schemes they adopt to relieve
II at the expense Of the enemy. Tho following
is sample Of one:
NATURALLY the time hangs little heavily
when. as sometimes happens, nothing that may
bo shot ut Is seen for an hour or two. During
one Of these intervals, on Sunday morning,
one man conceived q brilliant scheme. which.
unfolded to his comrades, was instantly adopt
ed. Every man loads his piecc and points II
over the parapet or through one Of the many
small PORTFOLIOS made by placing ammunition
boxes In the wall. Then the author OF tho plan
begins to shout orders as though commanding
at least brigade. 'a '
"Colonel, connect your lines with the 47th!
"Givc way to the right - "Close rsnks"'
"Fix bsyonets" "Double quick!" "Ch.a.a.
gs"' -e-, .rs H
Instantly Ave hundred men rise into plain
sight behind the rebel works, expecting to SEQ
an advancing line. Not so, but five hundred
men FROM safe cover arc upon them on the In
slant. The vollcy which must have inflicted
considerable loss, Is followed up with cheers
and jcers. laughter and much chatting. a.
what do y think o. Yankee tricksr That's
the way John Browns soul marches on!' NO
use o. batting hooks when you're hshin' for
gugeons.' d. ..,..ltt,tt.,.... ....-
The trick was repeated several times during
the day, with Ingenious variations. always to
crowded houses, and always eliciting much sp-
plause from the performers.
