doc Rajah as belonging to native
Prince Of Upper India, and jealousy

near it was a pile Of artificial human
limbs. The pile was made up of the full
number of parts of twelve perfect bod

seeming confusion. Whenever the
hands Of the clock indicated the hour of

number of parts needed to form the
frame of one man, part Joining itself to

when completed, the figure sprang up,
seized mallet, and, walking up to the
gong, struck one blow that sent the
sound pealing through every room and
corridor Of the stately palace. This
done, he returned to the pile and fell to
pieces again. When 2o'clock came, two
men arose and did likewise; and so
through all the hours, the number of
figures being the same as the number of
the hour, till at noon and midnight the
entire heap sprang up and, marching to

his blow, and then fell to pieces,

a stormy night. Ali who can tell
why comes that soul-felt mystic spell,
mat makes US strangely free from care,
Yet leads through scenes Of dark despair?
Why i've we Der and DER again
Our past Of Joy, our past Of pain?
why rouse we memories dark and bright
On stormy nights?
1nstinctively, almost, we feel
Our weight Of woe, our weight Of veal,
30 typical Of LIES great round #
Are storms without consonant sound;
A storm Of wind, Of hail, Of rain;
The thunder's roar, tho lightning's gleam,
Tho storm-olouds tossing in their high ..
Through stormy night.
The wind must shrek as If in pain,
Then sink to wall piteous strain;
The thunders mutter, rage and roar;
The rain must weep, then torrents pour;
The lightning dash in widest glee;
The darkness, utter darkness be-;
The elements at war must fght
On stormy nights. Isl
Then without pencil, pen or book,
hide me in some sheltered nook,
And let the hurricane possess
My soul with all its earnestness.
I weave the web Of life again
A thread Of joy, thread Of pain;
Both warp and woof are dark and Light
Lies stormy night.
I ope the door Of memories tomb
To find fair lights mid deepest gloom:
Bright dreams fulfilled, youth void OF care,
While buried hopes are everywhere;
A strange commingEng Of all
That makes this life one balmy squau,
Storm-tossed betwixt the wrong and right
Through stormy night. ~
I shovel earth from grass-grown mound,
While bleeds afresh each healing wound,
And call up friends beyond recall
Ny heart makes room for one and all.
My pulses ibrate as gleam
OF home, Of love-youth's sweetest dream
Dawns on my visionary sight
On stormy nights.
My soul with throbbing pain Is heard
AS each false friend is disinterred-
Friends Of the past, the long ago,
Who filed my cup with bitter woe;
Then fondly to my bosom press
The true that lived my life to bless.
7 shed q tear DER love and slight
On stormy nights.
rend the veil that hangs between
My soul and all it's fairest dreams;
Like reviews on forgotten lore,
read life's turned-down pages DER;
A grand connection is my soul.
The past unfolds written scroll,
Which must read without alright
On stormy nights.
But, with the elements at war,
I can afford to stand at par
With al that's good in this short life,
Nor mingle more'in bitter strife,
But shower my blessings without fear
On false and true, on smile and tear.
Why walk in darkness when there's Light
For stormy nights7
Tor he who keeps conscience pure,
He who, is faithful to endure,
Who owns Him father who can still
The raging elements at will,
Who acts and works with heart and hands,
Obeying Gods humane commands;
Who keeps his soul spotless white,
Hath naught to fear on stormy nights.

and at last the fog had come. And Jubal
EARLY had that morning pushed out
every man he had that could stand, and
they lay hid for three mortal hours,
within I don't know how near the picket
line at Fort Powhatan, only waiting for
the shot which John Streight's party
was to fire at Wilson's wharf, as soon as
somebody on our left center advanced
in force on the enemy's line above Tur-
key island, sire itching across to Nanse-
mond. I am not in the War Depart
ment, and I forget whether he was to
advance en- barbette or by echelon of in
fantry. But he was to advance some
how, and he knew how and when he
advanced, as you see, that other man
lower down was to rush in, and as soon
as EARLY heard him he was to surprise
Powhatan, you see; and then, if you
have understood me, Grant and Butler
and the whole rig of them would have
been cut off from their supplies. would
have had to fight battle for which they
were not prepared, with their right made
into new left, and their old left unex-
pectedly advanced at an oblque angle
from their center and would not that
have been the end of them?
Well, that never happened. And the
reason it never happened was that poor
George Schaff, with the last fatal order
for this man, whose name I forgot (the
same who was afterward killed the day
Sefore at High Bridge, undertook to
save time by cutting across behind my
house, from Franklin to Green streets.
You know how much time he saved;
they waited ali day for that order.
George told me afterward that the last
thing he remembered was kissing his
hand to Julia, who sat at her bedroom
window. He said he thought she might
be the last woman he ever saw this side
