ThOsc arma which since have sent the blush

Those heroes in their regimentals,

Before the rebel continsntal'!

And saw the Gag Of freedom.Aouk

And Uncle Ben, who drove the wagon,
Would always half and 1t mo gaze
While he went n aud quaffed his aason.

Had fallen "the useful trouble Of the rain,n
All day. beneath the low-hung, dreary sky,
The dripping earth had covered sullenly.
At last the wind bad sobbed itself to rest,
crimson line cleaned sudden in the west,
Where golden decks rose wavering into form,
hushed revival hera,ded the night,
And with the evening time swoke the Light.
The rosy color flushed the long. gray waves,
- The rosy color tinged the mountsint brow,
And where ths Old cha1ch watched the vlage graves
Wooed to passing flush the yew-trecs frown,
Bird, beast, and flower relenting Dature knew,
And one pale star rose shimmering IN the blue.
So, TO life long crushed with heavy grief;
So, to path long darkened with despair,
The slow, sad hours bring touches of relief,
Whispers Of hope, and strength Of trustful prayer
"Tarry his leisure, God Of love and might,
And with the evening time there viii be light!

It is an unwonted clatter that wakes
the quiet street in the early morning.
The gray shadows have scarcely vet
disturbed the feast of the coyote, and
tho fog lies asleep upon the desolate

which look from beneath rcbosas, after

is the exodus Of the gamblers.
Sixty miles to the westward, beyond
q wilderness in which water never ran
and tree never grew, there is a canon

the name OF an army officer, but which,

and waited until, walled in by the eter.

At the eastern end of the pass there
is a spring, and the living water is
the lure alike of life and death. At
this spring, as was intended, the nine
men camped late in the evening of the
first day. As was to be expected, Mat
kin was the tacit commander of the
party. His watch came at midnight OF
this first night, and it was counted
much to his credit that he assumed his
duty so early in the long journey.
But when morning came, a gray mule
and the sentinel were missing. They
shouted, and only the tlreary noun
tain echoes answered; they searched,
and he could not be found. Days af.
terwarls, the wandering trail around
the spring showed the search for the
missing man.
