Mo.:-Dear Sir-I received your letter
some days since, making inquiry with
regard to your brother, Capt. Paschal
Hickman. formerly of Frankfort, in this
state. l was personally and well ac-
quainted with him.
Capt Hickman raised 4 company, of
which my brother Peter was lieutenant
late in the summer OF 1912, which COM
posed part of Col. John Aliens rifle
regiment, which went on the campaign
in the fall of 1872.
Capt. Hickman accompanied the de-
tachmeut which was ordered to French
town, on the River Raisin. and was in
the battle ut that place on January Is,
1918; was wounded slightly in the foot,
so that he was unable to participate in
the battle of January %, 1913. four days
after He, with many others, was sur
rendered as prisoner OF war at the close
OF that disastrous battle, with the pledge
by the British commander of protection
to the wounded who were lett, when the
British, with those of the American
prisoners, who were able to travel
Maj. Cranes. Capt. Hart, your brother
Paschal, all wounded, occupied the
same room on the night after the battlt
On the next morning the Indians re-
turned, and commenced piundering the
house and clothing OF the prisoners.
Your brotherPaschal was tomahawket
within about four feet of where l stood

BRAhDFATHER'S THANKSGIVING.
BY MRS. N. L. RAYNE.
Young Folks Rural.

[Young Folks Rural.l
Grandfather's head is drOoping-
He mods in his cushioned chair,
While the iireliShps changeful shadows
Fit DER his snowy hair;
He smiles TO himself and mutters
Strange words Of other days,
That sound like forgotten echoes
OF past thanksgiving days.
The house is filed with music
OF gay thanksgiving cheer,
The children have forgotten
He sits in darkness here
Nay, not In darkness; somewhere
y radiant glory streams
And lights the old mans forehead
With the nnnbus Of his dreams
And shows in mellow radiance
y city fair to view,
sui waters AMI green pastures
And skies of summer blue
And there tn"y all are gathered
The friends he misses here
They're keeping their thanksgiving
Amid the heavenly cheer
Yes! there is softcned splendOr
In face he used to know,
With smiles like those OF angels
And hair of golden glow;
The eyes look fOndly on him
With gentle pleading gaze;
An! somehow, they remind him
Oi boyhood's willul ways.
His mother! why it's forty,
Nay, Iilty years agone
Since she slept in the valley
Beneath grave mOss-grOwn;
Yet here. in youthful blooming
She looks on HIM Tonight,
And smiles and beckOns to him
In the Mystic shadow light.
And this-why little Annie
Comes softly to his side;
It's forty years thanksgiving
Since she became his bride.
Ten years the SHOWS have fallen,
Ten years the roses blOomcd
About the little hillOck
Where Annie lies entOmbed.
Back! back, short years of pleasure.
Back! back long years of pain,
Leave the old man his visions,
They may not come again;
Leave him his Suests-the angels,
His dear ones OF the past;
OF had he dreamed their presence
1t Is no dream at last.
The children haste to waken
Their GrandsIrc i'll his chair,
They miss him from their pleasures
And find him sleeping there.
Will his dream people vanish,
The lovely visions ilec?
Nay, this WAS but the vision,
That the reality.

the COMMON FATE.

From the Sunday N. Y. World.l
A scientist was lecturing
All in stately hall,
And while his StercOpticOn
Threw pictures on the wall.
He talked of the immensity
or space. in language tall,
While tunable mosquito
Upon his ear did fail.
''This carth,' - said the Professor,
lIIe was on figures benD,
"Is but speck. trifie
Which one were well content
To sell in open market
At eleven for n cent
While forty seven dollars
For the sun alone were spent.''
"Oh my!" sighed the mosquito,
GLOW worthless must bel"
And cried the bold Professor,
81 look straight up and see
Upon the starry vault ut night
Great things which certainly
Fill me with awe and wonder at
Their vast immRnsity!
Placed end for end million
OF puny men on earth
The world would barely girdle,
So dreadful Is Its girth;
Yet nine quintillion billion
OF men of lofty birth
'TwOuld take to reach the dog STAR
The mosquito grinned with mirth.
"Ok. awful, awful universe"
The mosquito cried amain,
''With wonder and dejectedness
My soul is fairly slain.
Mosquitoes forty thousand
All strung out In a chain
Could never reach the Professors nose
In one unbrOken lane.
''Yet will do my level best
All with my puny might,
IT'S all canp' he sighed, and SCARED
To where he fain would bite
'And OH" cried the Professor,
''Convulsions blast my sight,
And in the starry vault on high
Upon most any night.
''Great suns blaze up and vanish
And worlds are torn IN two!'
(Ah, little insect, soon, too soon,
Twill all be up with you.
Scarce have you reached the longed for goa
When, with Il loud ''achewp'
His nose thy tickling doth explode;
Now bid the world adieuD
AS it is with the mosquito.
So with the ortOlan;
So also with the jobberwock,
And stately pelican;
For great, and tall and large, and small
For all is but one plan;
Then swell not so, thou child of earth,
For what art thou, oh. manP

ALAS, POOR GAMBLER.

At a cafe gentleman plays with
his friend to see who shall pay, the
others bill. He wins, and rising to
go ont smashes his tumbler.
"Confound it! - he says, sitting
down again 81 don't want to drop
anything at the cashiers desk to-
night. l'll tell you what Ill do--I'll
play you for the tumblcr."
He loses, loses back the treat he
had already won, loses his friends
bill, and bound to get his losses back,
and especially the cost of that UNI
lucky tumblcr, tackles his ncighbors,
the newcomers, everybody. And
still he loses, till at the hour for clos
ing he finds himself stuck for 80
francs worth of miscellaneous re-
frcshmcnts.
81 owe you 55 francs" hc says 10
the cashier, ''and for one tnmbler [

''Fiftv-tive francs, monsieur" says
the cashier, with Il bland smile "we
never charge our guests anything for

The guest goes out into the calm,
still night and under the silent stars
relieves his burdcned mind.

There is nothing on the earth,
Where SO many things are strong,
Half so mighty in its birth,
And SO sure of life, as Song.
Never pine on mountain hight
So the thunder bolt defies;
Never eagle in his flight
Scars with such undaunted eyes
Conquerors pull empires down,
Think they will not he forgot;
But if Song pursue them not,
Time destroys their dark renowD:
Nothing is remembered long
But the Life Of Song!
