The young man could not swim well

he induced her to take hold of one let

started down toward the island where
Oscar and Alice had landed. The wa

frequently got entangled in the clothr

"StonewaIl Jackson's Way

1.-THE following verses were found, stained
with blood, in the breast of a dead soldier
Of the old ''Stonewall Brigade" after one o
StonewaIl Jackson's battles, in the Shenan

Come, stack arms, men! Pile ON the rails
Stir up the campfire bright;
No matter if the canteen fails,
Well make roaring night.
Here Shenandoah brawls along,
Here burly Blue Ridge echoes strong,
To swell the Brigade's rousing song,
OF "Stonewall Jackson's way"
We see him now-thc old slouched hat,
Cooked DER his eye askew-
The shrewd dry smile-thc speech so pat,
So calm, so blunt, SO true.
The "Blue Light Elder" knows 'em well /:
Saws he, ''That's Banks; he's fond of shell,
Lord save his soul! Wc'll give him" well
That's "Stoncwall Jackson's way"
Silence! Ground armsl Kneel all! Caps off.
Old "Blue Lights" going to pray. ,.
StrangIe the fool that darcs to scolT!
Attention. it's his way! .-

In fOrma prOprid TO God,

Amen! nat 'olO9lct.a aA . WY "'. -.-
He's in the saddle now: Fall in!
Steady The whole Brigade
Hills at the ford, cut off; we'll win
His way out, ball and blade.
What matter if our shoes arc worn?
What matter if our feet are torn rll
Quick step! we're with him before dawn
That's "Stonewell Jackson's wayw
The SUMS bright glanccs rout the mists

Here's Longstreet, struggling i'll the lists,
Hemmed in an ugly gorge.
Pope and his Yankees, whipped before

'Chargc Stuart! Pay of Ashcby's score,

All, Maiden! wait, and watch, and ycarn,
For news of Stoncwcll's band -r. ......

After that We took n kinder turtle
dove after each other, both of us sigh
ing like barrel of new cider when we
were away from each other.
Twas Mt the close of Il glorious
summer day, the sun was setting be
hind Il distant hen-roost, the bullfrogs
were commencing their evening song,
and pollywogs, in their native mud
puddles, were preparing themselves
for the shades Of night, and Sal and
myself sat upon an antiquatcd back
log, listening to the music Of nature,
such rs tree toads. roosters and grunt-
ing pigs; and now and then the music
of jackass was waited to our ears by
the gentle Zcphyrs that sighted among
the mullen stalks, and heavily laden
with the delicious odors of hen -roosts
and pig-styes. The last lingering rays
of the setting sun, glancing from the
luttons of q solitary horscman, shone
through knot-holc in hog-pen, full
in SAILS face, dyeing her hair an
orange peel hue, and showing off my
threadbarc coat to bad advantage, one
of my arms was around SaPs waist,
my hand resting on the small of her
back she was toying with my auburn
locks of jet black hue; she was almost
gone, and l was almost ditto. She
looked like grasshopper dying with
the hiccups. and | felt like mud tur-
tie choked with a Goldfish ball.
"Sal," says l, in a voice as musical
as the notes ola dying swan, Evil you
have me?''
She raised her eyes hcavenward,
and claspcd me by the hand, had an
attack of the leaves and blind stag
gers, and with 4 sigh that drew her
shocstrings to her palate, said; " Y cs. !"
She gave clear out then, and squat
ted in may lap. | hugged her till l
broke my suspcndcrs, and her breath
smclt of onions she had eaten two
weeks before.
Well, to make a long story short
she set the day, and we pyacticcd for
four weeks every night how we would
enter the room TO be married, till we
got SO We could walk as gracefully IL
Il couple of Muscovy ducks. The
night, the company and the minister
came, the signal was given, and arm
and arm we went through the hall
We was just entering the parlor door,
when down / went kerslap on the Oh
Goth, pulling Sal after me. Some Gus
SD tc low had dropped a anna skin
on the floor and me. 1t split an awful
hole i'll my cassimcrcs, right under
my dress coat tail. 1t was too late to
back out so clasp;ng my hand over
i, we marched in and were spliced,
and taking a scat. | watched kissing
thc-bridc operation. My groomsman
was tight, and he kissed her till
jumped up to take slice, when, oil,
horror! a Ii lie six-ycar imp had crawl
cd behind me and pulled my shirt
through the hole iii my pants, and
pinned it to the chair, so that when !
jumped up displayed to the astonisli-
ed multitude a tritie more white mu-
slim than was pleasant. The women
gigglcl, the men roared, and got
mad, but was finally put to bed, and
there my troubles ended. Good night.
