General Lees Last Interview
with Bishop Meade.
from Touching Volume By John Esten Cooke.

A touching incident Of Lee's
life belongs to this time-the early
spring Of 1862. Bishop Meade, tbs
venerable head Of the Episcopal
Church in Virginia, lay at the poir.
Of death, in the city of Richmond.
When General Lee was informe.s
of the fact, ne exhibited lively
emotion, for the good bishop, IS
We have said in the commence
ment Of this narrative, had taught
him his catcchiSm when he was Il
boy IN Alexandria. On the dac
before the bishops death, General
Lee called in the morning to sA.e
him, but such was the state OF
prostration under which the sick
man labored that only a few OF
his most intimate friends were
permitted TO have access to his
chamber. In the evening General
Lee called again, and his nam.
was announced to Bishop Meade.
is soon as he heard it, he said
family, for his breathing had be-
como much oppressed and he spoke
with great difficulty: Il must SEQ
him, if only fora few moments"
General Lee was accordingly in.
troduccd, and up. ,roached tho
dying man, with evidences OF
great emotion in his countenancc.
Taking the thin hand in his own
he said
GLOW 10 you feel, bishop"
almost gonc," replied Bishop
Meade, in a voice so weak that it
was almost iraudible "but [ wait
cd to see you once more"
lie paused for an instant, breath
ing heavily, and looking at Lee
with deep feeling.
"God bless you! God bless you,
Robert T. he faltercd out, "and lit
you tor your high and responsible
duties. I can't call you general!
i must call you Robert; l have
heard you say your catechism too
often"
x
"IIcavcn bless you! Heaven
bless you! and give you wisdom
for your important and arduous
duties - .
These were the last words ut.
tered during the interview. GEN.
eral Lee pressed the dying mans
hand, released it, stood for several
minutes by the bedside motionlcss
and in perfect silence, and then
wcnI out Of the room.
On the next morning Bishop
Meade expired.

THE ARTISTS LOVE.


er, and when the tide was high
dropped down the long trailing
ivy vine to kiss the laughing waves
they sat, two women! One,
with her arm resting upon bro
ken column, her dark eyes with
the memory Of the long age stir
ring their briliiancy into life,
gazcd afar out at the floating
clouds, her face ! sad reflection Of
the past; while the other, many
years younger, half kne!t at her
-eet, and with smile upon her
ced lips, and the light Of hope in
her glorious eyes, played with the
light moss upon the bank beside
her.
1t was perfect picture, for the
twilight crert ia and fell across
the foreground inst enough to
bring the wonlroas beauty into
relief.
To the artist eyes Of Ralph Ber-
tram, who, wandering down the
river bank, came upon them. it
WAS perfect harmony Of lisat
and shade-an exact subject for a
masterpiece. Then and there he
sat down, and sketchcd until the
darkness shloudcd the whole ana
shut it from his view. lie took
his sketch home, and for hours
sat and gazed upon it enraptured
with the glorious beauty Of the
faces. Who were they, or rather
who was She? VIII" was the girl
with her dreamy: happy face: and
dark melting eyes, with their hope
tulncSs and trust?
When morning d.swned, he went
down again to the rivers bank,
and watched and wal ed for hours;
h,. +ho, roror rc,no 1ro ;ron;rcd
of every pas>er; bat no one knew
them. OAe won'd say, 'Ay, yes,
| have seen thvm-,wo women,
one olI and sad the o1ner yourr
and happy. ID, 10, know their
names"
And another woul,; declare be
was never aware f their existence:
and thus Ra,a!l found his search 4
vain one. IL went on working
dsv and night Upon his picture,
and at last it WAS complete; and
when h, went 10 20 his studio in
the city, and placed it there, his
friends held uD their hands iii ad-
miration, ard wo:Shippcd it; and
before many days it found place
in the most renowned Art Gallery,
and all the world went crazy over
it.
Thus Ralph Bvrtram became
celebrated; and orders came upon
A;,n faster than he could fill them.
lie became the lion of the season !;
and far and near his praises were
sung. But to him it WAS as no.

Z A few nights ago Lille came home from
party late in the 'wec sma' hours" and
grandma appeared to her as she does to
each late incomer, sjust to make sure it's
not burglar, my dear.o You noticed her
pallor as she dropped into chair, YEARLY
tossing aside her whitening flowers, and
asked her if she had mistaken grandma for

the was at the last entertainment there,
and he asked for some of the daisies wore !;
and now, the daisies are growing over
him."
V How the drops patter along the walk like
busy little feet ! Suddenly through the
morning rain the sehool-bell rings out its
call, and large umbrella comes hurriedly
down the street, quite concealing its motive
power, till the strong arm of the wind tips
It one side, revealing two little scarlet
cloaked maidens who are yainly endeavor-
ing to carry it in proper manner. The
wind brings up to you the sound Of their
laughter as the rain dashes into the dimp-
ling faces, and three year-old Robbie losses
them kisses from the window of his home
across the way.
All! Youth and Morning! This summer
rain will only make the yiolets and daisies
sweeter, and raise the ripping waters Of
the brook, whereon they daily launch their
lcaf-boats, blossom-freighted. Grandma is
murmuring the words Of some old song to
the steady accompaniment the drops are
playing on the roof, and the bright-breasted
robins among the sheltering leaves are sing
ing sweetly in the rain. ''t {. z
