far as the eye could follow, made still
more neutral by contrast with their rud-
dy light the dun-gray fields Of stubble,
and the woods in which the gorgeous
panoply Of the earlier season was PAL

work was over and we were waiting
with some impotence for the order 70

and we had eaten nothing since early
morning. Moreover, . wild rumor had
spread abroad that IN issue of fresh
pork awaited our return, and though
the long habit OF expecting nothing
good until it came secured Us against
any serious disappointment, there were
not wanting tender memories Of ssshort's
biscuit to raise our anticip atoms high

cupied, we are fain TO refer distant

cloud Of dust which travels rapidly
our way. Nearer and nearer 1t comes:
louder and more enthusia stic ring the
shouts, and now we make out in the
dust the figure Of single horseman,
with clump of others trailing of into
obscurity behind him-Jackson is COM

going at almost top-speed; his hat is
off; his hair blown back from his broad
white forehead; his eyes dancing and
his cheeks agiow with excitement, and

cheers grow deafening aud ragged hats
are swung more wildly still as the men
of the Foot Cavalry recognize their1ead-

wind and disappears in the dust up the
road, cheered to the very last tagging

on our homeward march, the air feels
fresh and invigorating, and the miles

When the Danish missionaries had
secured the confidence Of the Green
landers marriage was made o religious
ceremony. Formerly the man married
the woman as the Romans did the So
bine women, by force. One OF the mis-
sionaries writing in his journal describes
the present style Of courtship as fol-
lows:
The sutton coming to the missionary
said, :" should like to have wife,"
Whom" asks the missionary. The
man names the woman.
"Hast thou spoken to her2"
Sometimes the man will answer,
Yes; she Is not unwilling, but thou
knowest womankind.'
More frequently the answer is " No."
"Why notP"
at is difficult; girls are prudish.
Thou must speak to her."
The missionary summons the girl,
and after little conversation says:
~ think it time to have thee mar
ried.r
~ won't marry"
"What pity! | had . sutton for
thee"
W uOiuF
The missionary names the man who
has sought his aid.
He Is good for nothing. won't
have him.
But" replies the missionary, che
is good provider; he throws his har-
pooh with skill and loves thee"
Though listening to his praise with
evident pleasure the girl ans wers, ~
won't have him."
"Well, l won't force thee. I shall
soon find wife for such clever fell
low"
The missionary remains silent As
though he understood her " no" to have
ended the matter.
At last with sigh she whispers:
" Just as thou wilt have it, missiona-
ry."
"No," replies the clergyman, cas-
thou wilt; Ill not persuade thee"
Then, with deep groan, comes
"yes," and the matter is settled.

A young jewish lady, Of a rich and

point OF being married, near Colngne,
in Germany, when a peasant woman

said that twenty years before she had

it while sleeping. Fearing punishment,
she substituted her own infant, and al
