Is now their martial shroud;
And plenteous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow;
And the proud forms by battle Rashed,
Are free from anguish now.
The neigh1ng troop. the flashing blade,
The bugle's stirring blast.
The charge, the dreadful cannonade,
The din and shout are past
Nor wars wild note nor glory's peal
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that never more may feel
The rapture OF the fight.

The Wrong Window.

Some years ago Old Judge Dash, of
Maine, accompanied by his wife, Wis
tied New York. The Judge ''put up
at the tavern down by the Battery.
Before retiring for the night, and after
Mrs. Dash had retired, the Judge
would have a bath. Having per-
formed his abolutions, the Judge look
ed around for some receptacle into
which he might turn the contents of
his washOowl.
There was nothing at hand, and rath-
er than summon a servant, the old gen.
tleman conceived the idea of throwing
the water out of tie window.
So, mounting a chair, he opened a
little square window, which he thought
opened into the back yard, and putting
the bowl through it, deliberately emp
tied its contents.
A howl of rage greeted the ears of
the good old judge, accompanied by fe-
male cries, and loud objurations in n
masculine voice.
''What in creation are you up to ~!
shouted somebody.
''What in creation are you prowling
around at this o'night for?" replied
the judge.
"You ought to be at home with y'r
wife and children"
But the poor fellow outside had been
quietly sleeping in bed with his better
half, and the little window which the
judge had opened was intended as a
ventilator for both rooms. The judge
had so completely drowned out his
neighbors that they were obliged to
seek another room.

Wit AND HUMoR. A tall, gaunt
shopkeeper ran down the pier, crying,

This started the people to work. and
they saved him. The tall, gaunt man
waited to see that life was not quite ex-
tinct and then turned away with the

drowned for considerable. He owes
me sixteen dollars" "Wen, there's
something in that" said one of the
bystanders. "I expect man don't
know how valuable he is in this world
till he owes somebody some money.
Then folks want to know where he's

A dozen years ago there use to come
rusty old dealer in farm produce TO
Boston. One Saturday night, having
sold everything but keg of apple

shop for an overcoat, which the tailor
told him fitted him perfectly. Next
morning, on the meeting-hOuse steps,
all his friends began to disparage his
purchase. "Why, it's all puckered up
behind; it don't touch you nowhere"

Wild Hay.

Wild hay is the name given by the
Swiss to hay made from the grass grow
ing on strips of soil to be found on the
Alps, at height of from 5000 to 5000
feet, in places so difficult of access, that
even the goat-herd and his venturesome
flock forbear to visit them. This hay
is so valuable from its excellent quality
and delicious aroma that regular hay
harvest is yearly undertaken on these
inaccessible places in spite of the dan
ger to life and limb involved in the at
tempt. The hay makers are shod with
iron, and secure themselves with ropes
to some sure hold when in especially
dangerous places, but fatal saccidents
occur every year. Ii is reckoned that
one man can make a hundred weight OF
hay daily. This he either carries home
at night in an ct slung over his should
er or stacks it on the mountain, whence
it is removed in a sledge when the
snow comes. The wild hay is essential
to the maintenance of the Alpine cattle,
the produce of the valleys being insult
ficient for their Winter Keep, besides
being of inferior quality TO this hard
won spoil from those hooks in the ever
lasti ng hills upon which the suns rays
still linger when they have long since
left the valleys.

"PiRky. ."-Pinky was a white mouse
that friend of mine bought when il
was very young, and so small that when
it was more than two months old it
would amuse itself by running back
and forth through her finger ring, as
she held it on the table like a hoop; and
he seemed to like his playthng so we'll,
that, when he got too large 10 get
through, his mistress let him wear it
round his neck as collar. But soon
he outgrew il, and then Pinky had to
give up his little gold toy altogether,
and made friends with aspOol of cotton,
which he would get out of the work
basket, stand up on the end aud sit
upon, and then with his tiny paws un-
wind the cotton, twirling the spool
round on the polished table, and so Civ
ing himself a ride, and looking very
cunning perched up there.
Sometimes his mistress would hold a
knitting needle over the table, and he
would put his fore paws over it, and
dance up and down the whole length of
the needle until he was tired.
He had a little red cloak with a hood,
and would stand quite still TO have it
put on, and then scamper off to a little
block house the children had, and
would peep out of one of the windows,
looking for all the world like little
"Red Riding Hood"
There is always Ganger in letting our
playful pets play too much, and one
day poor Pinky laid in his kind mis-
tress' hand, seemed tired and sick, and
the next dsy be died.
The moral OF this true story is-al-
ways let your pets, whether puppies,
kittens, or anything else, have plenty OF
time TO rest and sleep.

a Fiery Bracelet.

4 terrible accident occurred at rolling
mill in Cleveland, Ohio, recently. William
Ealeigh, waiter boy, was standing in front
of one of the rolls through which bar of
red-hOt iron was being run. When the iron
is at the right temperature the bar is very
pliable, but by becoming chilled it takes all
sorts of fantastic forms, and flies and twists
about in every direction. The bar wrapped
itself about the boy and encircled him in its
folds, literally burning his body in twain.
1t was several minutes before he could be
extricated. Meanwhile, the iron was scar
ing his flesh, causing the most horrible
cries of agony from the helpless sufferer.
In few moments after he had beenreleased
he died in terrible agony. His clothing was
completely torn and burned from his body.

"The Boys Nest"

Several years ago a farmer in the
State of New York sent his son Rollin
TO drag newly-plowed field. He was
10 drive young oX-team and his faith
er in quite pompous manner said:
Now, remember. no boys play with
this team" Rollin said he would do as
well as he could, and started for his
work. Alter the farmer had looked to
other matters on the farm, and assured
himself that all was moving along
properly, he started to the field to look
after Rollin and the team. Now, Rol-
lin had done well, and everything had
gone along nicely until just as the far
mer reached the corner of the field
when the drag caught iu an old stump.

an active nest of yellow jackets. When
the farmer came in sight, what was his
astonishment to see the oxen kicking

Rollin apparently initiating their move
ments, ''Ha, boy. what are you doing
there:" screamed the father in no very
gentle>mannsr. 81 guess we're in
hornets nest" answered the frantic
Rollin. ''In a boys nest, | guess!
Here, give me the whip" said the en-
ragged father, ''and I'll see what this
hornets nest amounts tor So, away
he started after the frightened team,
intent upon hastily bringing order out
of confusion. He had gone but a few
steps, however. when the hornets met
him, and he evidently forgot the team
and all former intentions, threw away
his whip, and to all appearance, be-
came absorbed in dancing jig, at the
same time furiously slapring his unof-
Tending trowsers, and now and then
his ears, in most frantic and shock
ing manner. Rollin who had found
peaceful quarters over the fence, now
shouted back: Glow do you like "a

man, and the farmer is bowed down
with the weight of over fourscore
years, vet he laughs in very quiet
but amused whenever Rollin refers him
