occupied by General Davis as bis head

service, and apparently often came in

Co., Hartford. Conn, 1863" 1t is
rather an unwieldy weapon, and is very
long-about four and one half feet.
The barrel alone is forty inches in
length. 1t has three sights, one being
marked for hundred yards, another
for three, and the third for five hundred
yards. The sling is made of piece of
leather, which was apparently broken
IN the center, for at that point it is kept
together by two copper rivets, and it is
fastened in the bands by pieces of
buckskin. The upper band is made of
tin, and Is fastened to the stock with
foul small hesdless nails. This piece
of mechanism is apparently the work of
the hero of the lava beds, and it shows
that he prided himself on how neatly il
was done"

Caleb and Ruth.

Uncle Caleb and Ruth, his wife,
Caring little for outside weather,
Fifty years of their welded life
Spent In this tiny cottage together.
Messy the roof and gray tie wall,
Narrow the window, low the door
But loves own sunlight hallowed it ali,
From RATED ceiling to sanded floor.
Silent the day but silver sweet
Voices OF children long ago.
Keeping time to their restless feet,
Followed the mother to and fro.
Scattered afar from East to West,
Seeking their fortune far and wide,
No one stays in the old, II nest
Where such beautiful memories hide.
Stranger feet on the tlme-worn stair
Wake the echoes of other days
Stranger yolc S are lifted where
Caleb once turned the tune OF praise.
Caring naught for the desc late pain
OF the wind III the pine-tree tops,
Caring naught for the grievlng rain
That so sadly over them drops
Needing az little the sunbeam's kiss,
Falling sweet from the summer sky,
In q narrower house thar this
Caleb and Ruth together lie.
Up where the many mansions wait
Is there, | wonder, a cottage small
Not too stately its pearly gate,
Not too shining It's golden wall,-
Where these two may in peace abide?
Heaven where none OF these must part
Caleb away from her gentle side,
Ruth afar from his faithful heart !
Hand i'll hand from morning to night,
Travelled these two the long earth day.
Surely they walk through the field of light
Hand in hand on the shining way.
Blessed love OF husband and wife,
Love that lasted through cares aud fears
Filling this place with the chrism of life,
Peace unclouded for fifty years.
