DARBY'S SIXPENCE.
A S t ry for B y S ,
BY PAUL PILLOW.

"Boys." said Uncle Jack Worcester,
as we sat before the fireplace one cold
winters evening, with the fire burning
briskly, and Uncle Jack in the corner,
"Boys, you must learn TO stick to some
thing or other, or you never will do any
thing in life"
"Stick to what, Uncle jack" inquired
David, the youngest Of the group. .n
"Oh, anything, honorable" replied
Uncle Jack, at doesn't make much diff
ference what trade or profession you
have, if it is honorable, and you are
adapted to it. But, whatever it is, you
must stick to it, or, my word for it, you'll
come out of the little end Of the horn"
"Some men, and some boys, too, seem
to be incapable of sticking to anything.
Every little wind seems to blow them
about just as it likes. But perhaps you
will understand me better, if tell you
about Darby Skinner"
"Yes tell us about Darby, Uncle Jack"
shouted the boys, in chorus"
"Woll, Darby was pretty good heart
ed boy, Of about my own age. We used
to be together great deal. He was a
smart lad, but had one great failing. He
couldn't keep his mind made up to one
thing longer than ten minutes at the
most.
"One evening Darby and were in a
country store, together. Darby had a
sixpence to spend. His father had given
it to him and told him to spend it as he
liked. But he couldn't quite make up his
mind how he should spend it. He walked
about the room so often, and peeped into
so many jars and boxes, that the store
keeper, in gruff voice, told him TO get
out Of the way.
al am here upon business, SIR said
Darby, with dignity. Il have sixpence
TO SPEND
"Oh, you have, have youg replied
the storekeeper, somewhat softened at
the mentioning Of sixpence. What
will you have for il, my little many
90 l think will take it 10 candy and
gum, sir said Darby with business air,
counting on his fingers as he spoke. Two
sticks Of white candy, two sticks of striped
candy, and two sticks Of gum, that'lI just
make it, And he handed over the mon

/. ALONE dying soldier cricd--- sf
M His pale brow resting ON his hand;
Oh, must my lov'd ones know died
Alone !---alone in this strange land
Z A comrade heard the piteous moan
And leaned 10 hear what he might say.
He murmured, sadly, all alone! y Nl
My friends are all far, far away.
oh, gently break the tidings Sore,
To her who patient waits at home;
1 long TO see her face once more
But am dying here alone
And take this ring, she once did wear,
And this dear image Of her boy
And here's tress of his dark hair
He clipped for me in childish joy.
Oh bear them safely to my home,
For they are treasures dear to me,
Comrade, 'tis sad to die alone!
hear q voice now calling me.
The brother soldier knelt and prayed,
That soon the battles din might cease,
That God in love the RIGHT would aid,
And once more bless our land with peace.
The widow sighs, ALONE Alone
/ now must tread life's gloomy vale!
The Joy, the pride, the light Of home,
Sleeps where the sick and wounded wall.
For pleasure live not, nor sigh
That earth can not afford me joy
All, no it were bliss to die,
Vert not for thee, my darling boy.
And long she gazed upon the child,
So sweetly sleeping by her side,
But ere she slept his eyes grew Wild
One deathly moan-and then he died.
And now the mother, wild with grief
Bends DER the casket of her love-
Her aching heart found no relief
Until she sought it from above.
Alone? ALONE? No, mourner, no!
There is one friend that's ever near;
A Fathers hand waits to bestow
A soothing balm for every fear.
Aye, cen amid the battles strife
He hears each sigh, each dying groan;
lie whispers, I'm the way, the life
Despair not, thou art NOT ALONE!

AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR--A letter
from Minnesota to the Rochester Demo
crat tells this Interesting story:
"Let me relate to you aud your read
ers an incident of the war which has late
ly come 10 my knowledge, and which
has never before found its way into tho
newspapers. In the class Of 1856 at
Waterville College, Maine, were two
young men who had been chums while
fitting Cor college, at the same school, and
were cbums through tho entire college
course, and after graduating pursued their
legal studies at the same law school, and
were chums here also. After admission
TO the bar one went South to seek his
fortune, the other West. After the
breaking out Of the rebellion, the one who
went South enlisted in the rebel army,
the other in the Union army. They both
afterward rose to the rank of Colonel,
and both took part in the battle at Mis-
sion Ridge, in command of their respect
i've regiments. The rebel Colonel at the
head of a Tennessee regiment, was in sup
port Of a battery, which the regiment, in
command Of the Union Colonel, was Or
dered to take at the point Of the bayonet.
The battery was taken, but both Col
onels fell mortally wounded. After the
fight was over Union Captain, himself
classmate of the two Colonels, being
detailed to bury the dead, found the two
college classmates and chums lying side
by side on the battlefield, with their
right hands clasped, and both dead. They
had evidently recognized each other after
being wounded, and the old ties of friend
ship had asserted their supremacy, and to.
gether their spirits had passed into the
eternal world. Side by side; in the Same
grave, they sleep their last sleep.

WASHING WOUNDED RRBEL.--A
rebel prisoner asked for clean shirt for
his comrade whose fresh but bloodstained
bandages told of a recent amputation
above the knee. One of the Sanitary
Commission gave the shirt, but said the
boy must be washed. Who will do
thatT "Oh any ono Of those women
yonder." A kind looking woman from
Philadelphia was asked if she was willing
to wash rebel prisoner. Certainly"
was the reply. @I have a son in the
Union army, and would that some one
would wash him."
With a towel and tin basin, she cheer
fully walked through the mud to the
tent. Careful not to disturb his ampu-
tated leg, she removed the old shirt and
began to wash him, but the tenderness Of
a mothers heart was at work, and she be-
gan to cry over him, saying she imagin-
ed she was washing her own sen. This
was more than he could bear. He, too,
began to weep and to ask God TO bless
her for her kindness to him. The scene
was too much for the bystanders, and
they left the Northern mother and South
ern son TO their sacred grief, wishing that
tears could blot out the sin of this rebell-
ion, and the blood of this unnatural war.
