Are You 81 Lady ?

The term lady is an abbreYiation
Of the Saxon word "Leolday,n y
which means bread.giver. The
"lady of manor" accustomed once
week to move among the poor as
an almsgiver, enriching their ta-
bloS and bearing away their bless
ings. She moved in queenly beau,
ty, and to her quoenly robe the
children Of the lowly looking at
her as if their little eyes could
never be satisfied with seeing.
Their little hearts could never utter,
Low well they loved their bread and butter.
But they loved her smiling face
more. They needed not that any
tell them how priceless is q smile.
1t was May.day with them when
ever she came among them with
smiles and bread, and it was al
ways May-day with her, for the
smiling poor loved her, and crown
ed her queen of all tho year.
Reader are you lady? Are you
queen among the poor3 Do the
children of the poor put a crown
on your head3 DO they make your
hair CLEAN with gems, or is it burn
ing with diamonds that the fingers
of the poor never set there2 Do
the poor mans children cling to
your gown, and find a shadow in
its folds7
Are your jewels the grateful
hearts of the poor9 If they are,
then they will never lose their lus-
tre, but shine brighter and bright

The editor of the Alton (Ill.)
Demo crat has been making a trip
through some of the Southern
States, and writing his paper Ac-
counts of what he saw and heard
worth relating. In the neighbor-
hood of Petersburg he visited and
examined the earth.works prepar.
ed by the Federal and Confederate
armies. He thus speaks of "the
Crater" one of the memorable and
bloody fiascos of the war: ,.
A half hours rapid trot brought
us to "the Crater" where, on the
Both of July, 1864, took place what
Swinton appropriately calls "the
mine fasco." In front of Burn
sides Corps a subterranean gallery
was excayated some hundred yards
in length and twenty-five feet be-
low the surface, coming up under
an important angle of the Confed-
crate defense. The poorest diviS-
ion of the army was selected, the
min6 exploded, an assault made,
and we lost 1000 men and gained
nothing but a very liberal amount
of modification. 1t was a Cold
Harbor blunder on q smaller and
less expensive scale. -.s---7
The owner of the land, with a
flash Of Yankee inspiration, has
fenced in the epremises and charges
twenty-five cents admittance, be-
sides having few relics on sale at
an exceedingly low price for cash.
We passed into the enclosure and
looked at the crater. Imagine an
immense hole in the ground par-
TALLY filed with mud and water
and rotting timbers; piles of clay
thrown out by the explosion lying
about its edges, mingled with piec-
es Of cartrldge-boxes, canteens,
shoes, uniforms and bones, and you
have mental photograph Of this
grim picture in the history ofithe
war. Into this seething caldron of
blood and gunpowder, already ten
anted by tho dead and wounded
garrison, our own soldiers rushed
pell-moll and being there were
subjected to such a withering emf
lading fire from the enemy's bat
teries on the right and left, that
they could neither advance nor re-
treat, and caught like rats inatrap,
were shot, bayoneted andsmotheri
ed to death. 1t was not q battle,
but a Slaughter-a wretched fail
ure in design and executiap, which
ought to have consigned somebody
to the tender mercies of q, drina-
head court-martial and a file of in
fantry.

Cleveland (O.) Herald.
A GOOD BEAR STORY.

LAST fall a large cinnamon bear
was followed into a small but very
dense willow copso by two men,
one armed with a Henry, the other
with Spencer rifle, one of them
being my informant. He stated
that they bored him through over
thirty times before they succeeded
in killing him, and then not until
bruin had dreadfully mangled my
informants companion. lie proved
to be a very fat one. When in
that condition they are moro diff.
cult to kill, for the reason that the
fat closes the wound, and thus pre-
vents the rapid flow Of blood. An
old hunter, delighting in the sobri-
quot Of Daniel Boone" also last
fall got decidedly the worst of a
fight with ono encountered near
Bald Mountain, about ten miles
from here. Mister BruiE was
fercely rushing upon him with dis
tended jaws,
Daniel firmly awaited tho onset
with presented rifle aiming for the
head, and fired; the bear at the
same moment swerved from o di-
rect line, and the ball missed its
mark. Boone was now at the NOR
cy of the infuriated bear, who
reared upon his hind,legs, grasped
the rifle between his teeth as Boone
tried to aim it down his throat, and
with one blow of his monstrous
paw knocked him several feet into
the bushes. Boone lay prone up
on his face; the bear approached,
munched him on the head and
arms, and thinking him dead, was
departing, but keeping his head
turned toward his PROSTATE foe, and
Boone, wishing to quickly get out
Of that, incautiously raised his
head, which the bear perceiving,
he returned and subjected him to
another munching process in the
leg and shoulders, Boone the while
lying perfectly still, it being his
only hope of escape. The bear,
again deceived, soon Departed
This time the inpatient and woun-
ded hunter restrained his strong
desires, and moved not till he was
assured there was no longer dan
ger. The blow he had received
badly disfgured his face, the cica-
trice of a deep cash, extending
from the eye to the chin, gives eyi-
dence to this day of the imminence
of his danger. Had he received
the full force of the tremendous
power welded by the paw of this
savage beast, his hunting exploits
would have been brought to an in
stant termination. ts .s
Weak, FAINT and bleeding, he
managed to mount his pony. reach

POET TO A L
TWO LITTLE PAIRS OF BOOTS.


WE find the following touching verse
floating upon the sea of newspaperdom.-
What mother heart does not respond to TIN
seatiment contained thereinl How many
alas miss the little boots from their accus
toned place by the iireside corner, and fee
a weight upon the heart that time can ney
or removed
Two little pairs of boots te-night
Before the fire are drying,
Two little pairs of tired feet
In trundle bed nro lying;
The track they leave upon the floor
Makes me feel much like signing.
These little boots with copper toea,
They run the liyelong day,
And oft times l almost wish
That they were miles away
So tired lam to hear scott
Their heavy tramp at play.
They walk about the new plowed ground
Where mud in plenty lies;
They roll it up in marbles round
And bake itinto pies;
And then at night upon the floor
IN every shape it dries.
To-day was disposed to scold;
But when look Tonight
At those little boots before the fire,
With those copper toes so bright,
think how sad my heart would be
To put them out Of sight.
For in q trunk up stairs I've laid
Two socks Of white and blue;
Ii called to put those boots away,
o God, what should do?
Imourn that they are not tonight
Three pairs instead of two.
Imourn because thought how nlco
My neighbor cross the way
Could keep her carpetsal the year .
From getting worn and gray;
Yet well | know she'd smile to own
Some little boys to-day!
We mothers weary get, and worn,
Over our load of care;
But how we speak of those little ones
Let each Of us beware;
For what would our nresidcs beto-night
If no little boots were thcro2

How to Choose O Husband.

If a man wipes his feet on the
doormat before coming into the
room, you may be sure he will
mako a good domestic husband
If a man, in snulIing the candles,
puts them out, you may be sure he
will make a stupid husband. If a
man puts a handkerchief on his
knees while taking tea, you may
be sure he will be a prudent hus-
band. In the same way, always
mistrust the man who will not take
the last piece of toast, but prefers
waiting for the next warm batch;
it is not unlikely that he will make
a greedy and very selfish husband,
with whom you will enjoy no
brown at dinner, no crust at tea,
no peace whatever at home.
The man, my dears, who wears
goloshes, andis careful about wrap.
ping himself up before venturing
into the night air, not unfrequent-
ly makes a good invalid husband,
that mostly stops at home, and is
easily comforted with slops. The
man who watches the kettle and
prevents its boiling over, will not
fail, my dears, in his married state,
in exercising the same care in al
ways keeping the pot boiling. The
man who don't take tea, ill treats
the cat, takes snuff, stands with his
back to the fire, is brute whom l
would not advise you, my dears, to
marry upon any consideration,
either for love or money; but most
decidedly not for love. But the
man who, when the tea is over, is
discovered to have had none, is
sure to make a good husband. Pa
tionco like his deserves being re.
wardod with the best Of wives, and
the best Of mothers-in law. Ny
dears, when you meet with such. a
man, do your utmost to marry him.
In the severest winter he would
not mind going to bed first.
