TIE TWO ARMIES.

AS lfe's unending column pours,
Two msrshaled hosts are seen
Two armies on the trampled shores
That death flows black between.
one marches to the drum-beats roll,
The wlnd-mouthed clarlon's bray,
And bears upon crimson scroll,
"our glory is TO slay."
ono moves In silence by the stream,
With sad, yet washfu eyes,
Calm as the patient planets CLEAN
That walks the clouded skies.
Along It's front no sabres shine,
No blood-red pennons wave;
It's banner bears the single line;
"our duty is to save"
For those no death beds lingering shade;
At honor's trumpetcall,
With knitted brow and lifted blado,
In glorys arms they fall.
For these no f1ashing falchions bright,
No stirring battlo-cry;
The bloodleSs stabber calls by night
Each answers, "Hcre am II"
For those tho scuptor's lauroled bust,
Tho builders marble piles,
The anthems pealing DER their dust
Through long cathedral aisles.
For these the blossom-sprinkled turf
That Hoods the lonely graves
When spring rolls in her sea.green surf
In nowery-foaming waves.
The paths lead upward from below,
And angels wait above,
Who count each burning lifc-drop's aow,
Each falling tear OF love.
Though from the Hero's bleeding breast
Her pulses freedom drew.
Though the white lilies In her crest
sprang from that scarlet dew
While vnlcr's naughty champions wait
TIL all their scars are shown,
Love walks unchallenged through the gate,
To sit beside the throne!-o. w. HOLMES.

HOW Mr.. SHRIMP WENT TO THE SEA SHORE


Chapter III.
Mr. Shrimp came home to his late dinner
and discovered the wife of his bosom lyint
on sofa in the back parlor, a forlorn look
ing victim of heat and dependency. Mrs
shrimp had resorted to the back parlor and

weary and waspish as well as dreadlully un.

it into his head to be so overpowering. MIR.
Shrimp came in bathed in perspiration, his
collar mere wet, wrnkled string, and his
face red and sticky, an object altogether not
calculated to add to his wife 5 comfort or re-
pose. He threw himself into a chair with
very little regard to good manners, and be-
gan to abuse the weather in no measured
terms, going so far as to swear "horrid bad'

to state, Mr.. Shrimp was sadly addicted to

must remain in the city and die, perhaps,
just because of your obstinacy," grumbled
Mrs. S., tanning herself languidly.
"Obstinacy, indeed; you know very well
that can't afford it. 1t costs money to go
pleasuring, and money tell you is hard
to get in these times, when business is about
as near dead as it can be, and everything at
a stand-still," sharply retorted Mr.. S., look

"But other people 90 who are no richer
