COMING HOME.
BY MARY J. ALLEN.

| 1t was bitter night; one of those tlue,
happily unfrequcpt in this latitude, when
everything, animate aud iuan!mate,seoms
to shrink and cover from the intense
cold The very air was full of icy partj-
cles which one was forced tc draw in with
every breath aud when the moon rose,
round and clear aud bright, and the wind
came up with 1t, penetrating every crack
aud creeice, Go mater how minute, the
passengers by the night express gathered
closer to the stove, crowding and jostling
each other, as even weii-bred people will
sometimes do, in their efforts TO keep
] warm
All but one man, who sat in a seat by
himself near the door. a tall man, wrapped
in an overcost Of army Blue, the visor oil
his cap drawn low over his eyes-deep,
dark eyes, with q strange expression iD
them-such eyes as man might have
who had been fated to stand for a time on
t! C borders IF he'll, AID having seen must
bear with him through life the memory
of its horrors
He sat there quietly enough taking
little heed, apparently, of wha. was going
on about him All the evening he had
sat SO, seldom moving, not speaking, only
ouce, when he had given up his comfort
able seat GEAR the fire to a poor looking
woman with a child in her arms and hi'n-
self taken this one farther back aud the
passengers, noticing the little act of po
iteness, and observing his dress as we'll
decided that he was "a soldier on his way
home veteran, probably" and then
dropped him out of their thoughts
And while the hours Of early evening
wore away the train thundered on, over
miles aud miles Of level prairie past farm
houses nestled down among the trees aud
barns and corn cribs; past little groups
of dwellings With their home lights shi
ning cheerily out.
The man By the window watched them
as they fitted by, an eager hungry look
coming into his eyes. Was he thinking
of house at he end of his journey,wher
the lamps were lighted by this time, and
three faces, pad enough now, would grow
suddenly bright at his coming? I do got
know. The conductor came in presently
bringing a little of the keen outerair with
him. He paused with his hand on the
back OF the seat in which the soldier eat
smiling down into the gloomy eyes lifted
to his face as he said, cheerfully.
We shall be at Nj eleven minutes.
You're almost home, sir"
"Yes, thank God 7"

bic with some people to go late to church,
long after the services have begun, to the
ediication of the curious in the congre-
CATION, and the annoyance of the preacher.
A contemporary says it has lately been
decided, on high authority, that the fol-
lowing rules are to be observed on such
occasions -
"Let the lady advance one pace beyond
the door of the pew she wishes to enter,
halt, about face, and salute. The pew
must then BE- vacated by such gentlemen
as are in it, by flank movement. The
squad should rise simultaneously when
the lady presents herself, and face by the
right flank, then deploy into the aisle,
the head man facing the lady, and the
rest walking to his right aud rear, the
direction of the line baing changed BY a
right countermarch, and forming agaiu
into line up and down the aisle, sill facei
by the right flank, The lady, VIXEN sha
sees that the coast is clear, completes her
salute, and advances to her position in tho
pew The gentlemen break of By flies
from the rear and resume their placess
Great care should be taken, of course, by
other parties not to euter the aisle when
this evolution is in progress, until it is

CAT PARODY ON PoE's RAAEN. The
editor of the Montezuma Iowa. Republl
can appears to have great horror of cats
and admiration for the style of Poe's "Ra-
ven" Witness the following poetic efu-
sion
The ether nighs while We lay musiug,
and our weary brain confusing DER the
topics Of the day, suddenly we heard a
rafting, az OF serious hosts a battling, as
they mingled in the fray What is
that?' we cried, upstariiag, and into the
darkness dartiug slap! re ran against the
door. "Oh, It's nothing" Edward grum
bled is DER huge arm chair he stumbled
"tis bug, and nothing more" Then
said we, our anger rising (for We thought
it so surprising thar a bug should so off
fcnd) d)-"Do you think a small insect, sir,
thus all the air infect, sir !! No, It's not a
bug, my friend" Now becoming sorely
frightened, round our waist Our pants we
tightened, and put on our coat and hat
when into the darkness peering we saw
with trembling and much fearing the
glaring eyes Of Thomas Cat Esq With
astoni8hment ard wonder we gazed upon
this son of thunder, as he sat upon the
ioor-when resolution taking,and rapid
movement making, 10, we opened wide
the door. Now clear out we hoarsely
shouted, as DER head our boot was fouted
Take your presence from the floor" Then
with an air and mien majestic, made his
exit through the door Made his exit
without growing, neither was his voice
bowling, not single word he said. And
with feeling much elated, TO escape doom
full fsted, we went back to bed.
