TIE DEVOTED WIFE.
4 Story Of the Rccolution.

TAe most devoted and resolule Of
wives was Sarah McCalla Of South
Carolina. Her husband had been in
every engagement with the enemy in
that bloody year OF 1870, until, on
the evening OF August II, he left the
camp for a visit to his family. On
the way lie was captured and taken
to Camden, where Lord RawIon SEN
fenced him to the 9allows. Day al
Ter day the young wife waited in
dreadful suspense fox the coming of
his feet. At last she set ont alone to
search for her missing lord. She went
to the scenes Of SUR ters and Steel :
surprises and inquired Of all whom
She met on the road, which was liter
ally thron9eI with iuoitlves seeking
safety in the upper country. No trace
Of the loved one could be found. AT
last she determined to 90 to Camden,
hoping to hear Of him through the
prisoners in tAe British pens. She
mounted i fleet horse, and, leaving
home soon after midnight, reached
Camden in twelve hours. Woman 5
courage once aroused stops at moth
ing. She demanded to see Lord Row
Ion The commander ) aide, Ma jor
Doyle, a kind hearted officer, led Lel
to the em!'s presence. She scanned
his face with keen, anxious eyes, for
so much depended on the character OF
this young man. He was fair and
pleasant looking, and the sorrowlng
wife at once poured out heart tulnul-
tuouslv telling all her fear her deep
grief the sad condition Of her little
ones a, home-all laid before him
with the eloquence Of a distressed wife
and mother. Then she fixed on the
officer her eyes filed with tn. plead
ing Of tears.
Lord Rawlon's 5 answer WAS quick
II would rather hang such rebels than
eat my breakfast " Her fiery heart
sprung to h.r lips, and her eyes, no
longer dim with grief, grew bright
bright with scorn. "Nould you ?'
she cried but love quickly taught
her to hear as well as to do, and she
humbly pleaded: Il beg Of you to let
me see my husband. IT,
"You should consider, madam, in
whose presence you stand. Your bus
band is rebel.
A glance from Major Doyle checked
the bitter reply that was struggling
for utterance. The aide led the earl
aside and soon returned with permis-
sion for the wife to see her hu u5banl
in his presence, for only ten minutes.
How short time, and yet how much
it meant to this living woman On
the way to the prison the Major re-
proved Mrs. McCalIa tor her exhibit
tion of resentment, saying that it was
only by hard pleading that he got
even this slight boon for her.
They reached the prison it was 9
pen, Without shelter from the sun
and rain, the poor men were lying
about on the bare eartl, many Of them
in the last stages of the smallpox
Thomas McCalla was soon found, anC
the ten minutes were quickly gone
With one last clasp she promised t'
return as speedily as possible, ant

Green leaves hang, but the brown must fly
When he's forsaken,
Withered and shaken,
What can old man do but die?
Love will not clip him,
Maids will not lip him,
Maud and Marian pass him by;
Youth it is sunny,
Age has no honey
What can an old man do but die?
June it was jolly,
o, for its folly
a dancing leg and Il laughing eye!
Youth may be silly,
Wisdom is chilly
What can an old man do but die?
Friends they are scanty,
Bcggars are plenty,
If he has followers, | know why;
Colds in his clutches,
(Buying him crutchcs -
What can an old man do but die?
