BARBARA FRITCHIE'S TRUE
STORY.

1t was to her own troops that Barbara
waved the flag, inspiring them on
march that involved some of the most
intense suffering of the war. The days
were oppressive, the roads sunny and
full of dust, and any moment might
bring the contending forces face to face.
1t was the day before the South Noun
tain battle. South Mountain lies twelve
miles west of Frederick, and to this
point General Reno, under Burnside,
was pressing when he passed Dame Bar
bara's door. "They were passing all
day." Mrs. H. went on to say, "but in
the morning said to my daughter, 'Ju-
liza, there are so many soldiers around,
60 over and bring aunt across the bridge;
she is alone, and perhaps may be afraid"
"And did you bring her back? ?" said !.
"Oh no, laughed Julia. Aunt Fritch-
lie was standing at the window, nodding
and smiling at the troops, who were
gathered all about her, and when came
she said, Child. hand me my flag; you
will find it in my Bible 7" In between
the pages that Barbara read daily, the
"silken scarf was folded; little flag
of twisted silk, not two feet long. 1t
was not on a staff, so Barbara waved it
like handkerchief. The throng in
creased, the men would not move on !;
but breaking ranks, were crowding
around her with, why. mother, how
are you ?" "Hurrah for '76!" Lets
shake hands. grandmother, etc. At
this moment General Reno came up at
the head of his brigade; the picture
met his eye; the crowded artillery, the
banners, horses, swords, muskets and
men, and In its midst the veritable "old
gray head" with its smooth white cap.

beating with young heart throbs, the
bent figure in the black gown. He rein
ed in his horse before her. "How old
is grandmother he asked. Some one
replied, "Ninety-six. "Nlnety-six

mother !" A shout went up that had

PIN MANUFACTURE.-The pins used
in this country are made by fourteen
factories. chiefly located in New Eng
land. Their annual production for sew
eral years past has been about 7,000,-
900 pins. Two years ago the competi-
tion among the nine principal companies
then existing for the manufacture of tOi-
let pins led to such cutting of prices
that the business became Improbable,
and the market was flooded with goods.
A year ago combination was formed
of three wire companies. and now all of
the pins made by them are shipped to
New York. and handled by the head
agency of that city. From their COM
mon warehouse they are sent to every
part of the country. The importations
of English pins are small. and the ex-
portation of pins from the United States
is confined to Cuba. South America and
Canada. England supplies almost the
whole world outside of the United States.

sTHE WAYSIDE WELL"

He stopped at the wayside WE'LL
Where the water was cold and deep;
There were feathery ferns 'twixt the mossy stones
And gray was the old well-sweep.
He left his carriage alone,
Nor could any coachman or footman tell
Why the master stopped in the dusty road
To drink at the wayside well.
He swayed with his gloved hands
The well-sweep creaking and slow,
While from seam and scar IN the buckets side
The water FLASHED back below.
He lifted it to the curb,
And bent down to the buckets brim,
No furrows of time or care had marked
The face that looked back at him.
he saw but farmers boy
AS he stopped over the brim to drink,
And ruddy and tanned was the laughing face
That met his over the brink
The eyes were sunny and clear,
And the brow undmmed by care,
While from under the brim of the old straw hat
Strayed curls of chestnut hair.
He turned away with a sigh
Nor could coachman or footman tell
Why the master stopped in his ride that day
To drink at the wayside well.

some sound in it; the general dismount-
ed, entered the little house with one of
his aids, shook hands with Barbara, was
seated, and in few moments the old
lady was pouring him out a glass of
wine of her own making. Good-by was
spoken, and the troops passed on; but
nearly all day the aged figure could be
seen cheering the passing troops by her
enthusiasm. The next day came the
word, "a flower on the Union side has
fallen. The brave Reno. respected by
both sides alike, was killed at South
Mountain in an engagement whose de-
tails of fierce contest will never be fully
known. ."-Sprshq1feld Republican.

THERE'S LIGHT ABOVE US.

When the light of day departing
Draws the curtain of the skies,
And the gloomy clouds of Autumn
Hide the starlight from our eyes,
Then, in sympathy with nature,
Oft our hearts grow gloomy, too,
Till some angel lifts the curtain.
And the light comes pouring through.
So in times deep bereavement,
When our household sun has set,
Oft our spirits mourn in darkness
Ger the joys we can't forget.
Till an angel lifts the curtain
That enshrouds our hearts in gloom;
Then we raise our eyes in wonder,
For there's light above the tomb.
Yes. o yes there's light above us.
And the clouds that check our view
Shall be gilt with golden edges.
When that glorious light comes through,
And the bright and radiant faces
OF the loved ones gone before,
Will be sweetly smiling on US
From the banks of yonder shore.
Upward, therefore. ever upward
Let us turn our hopeful eyes.
And we oft shall catch sweet glimpses
fthe upper Paradise,
And our dear ones looking downward
From the fragrant fields above
Oft shall drop US flowers of Eden
AS mementos of their love!
Yes, and when our pilgrim footsteps
Shall approach the final goal,
And the shades of death shall gather
Like mist around the soul,
Then. on angel pinions flying.
They shall meet US on our way,
And conduct us safely homeward
To the blessed realms of day.

Of sympathy. l cooked the revolver in

There was painful silence, which
was broken by the harsh grating voice
of Petroklne.
Promises are easily made and easily
broken" he said. "There is but one
way of securing eternal silence. 1t is
our lives or yours. Let the highest
among us speak"
"You are right, sir, said the English
agent; "there is but one course open.
He must be dismissed"

founded jargon, and sprang to my feet.

the sights of my derringer the CLEAN of

and, with a hoarse scream sounding in
my ears, I was felled to the ground by
crashing blow from behind. Half un-
conscious and pressed down by some
heavy weight, l heard the noise of
shouts and blows above me, and then
tainted away.
When l came to myself I was lying
among the debris of the door, which had
been beaten in on the top of me. Oppo-
site were dozen of the men who had
lately sat in judgment upon me, tied two
and two, and guarded by a squad of
Russian soldiers. Beside me was the
corpse of the ill-fated English agent. the
whole face blown in by the force of the
explosion. Alexis and Petrokine were
both lying on the floor like myself,
bleeding profusely.
"Well, young fellow, you've had a
very narrow escape" f" said hearty voice
in my ear.

eyed acquaintance of the railway car

AN EDITORS TROUBLES.

The editor of Rockville Qnd.) Trib-
atne gives vent to his feelings concerning
delinquent subscribers in an editorial
which will be Endorsed by most country
publishers. The Tribune says:
The present proprietor took charge of
the Tribune March l, 1879, and few
days after did 81 worth of work for a
well-to-do farmer and stockbreeder. That
charge is still on our books unreceipted.
We have sent two letters and one postal
card to the delinquent, and got him so
far interested that two years ago he said
to one of our employees: "Tell Beadle
not to worry about that bill; I'll step
in some day and hand it to him."
In another section of the county lives
a preacher who subscribed in these words:
"Send me your paper awhile; will
step in and pay for it, A year and a
half afterward we sent him the bill,
which he Indignantly repudiated on the
ground that he never subscribed
Within three miles of US are three
well-to-do farmers who owe US for three
years subscription each. We send them
bill about once in six months, and it
don't worry them a particle. By-and-
by they will move to Kansas or some
where West, and will never think of
this bill; but each of them will expect
regretful mpllmentary recommending
him to the people where he settles.
On the old subscription books, contin-
ued from the time Mr.. Beadle began the
Tribune, are charges amounting to
81, 100, of which at least $500 are on
men who could be made to pay by law.
But they know that newspaper debts are
never collected that way, and not one
dollar in ten of it will ever be paid.
Nobody ever pays the slightest atten-
tion to newspaper dun. A circular
letter, specifying each mans dues. will
bring response from about one man in
twenty. 1t seems to be taken by COM
mon consent that publisher is not to
be paid till all other bills are out of the
way and cash surplus is on hand
not even then unless it is perfectly con-
venient.
All this raises painful question in
our minds, whether that which IS called
popular honesty is not really sort of
policy. Many of these delinquents are
ardent advocates of prohibition and 9TH
er ''moral reform" many of them can
pray in church till the rafters tremble.
But they really must excuse US if we
are tormented with doubts. We would
as soon they took drink occasionally
yes, that they even got drunk once,
if they got drunk enough to come up
and pay these bills. We even would
that they we're altogether such as we
are. except these bonds.
If you ask the average man plumply,
sis it wrong to defraud doctor, law
yer or an editor he would doubtless
say yes; but it would be feeble. per-
functory yes-one that merely trembled
on the epiglottis, and did not lift up
the liver. and ramify the soul. The
popular mind is debauched on this SUBJ
ject and needs educating. We could
publish cases in our own experience
that would draw tears to the eye of a
Nihilist. 1t seems fair to add that these
remarks are more in sorrow than in an
ger; and that we stand ready to re-
cant. If our delinquents will prove to us
practically that we are wrong.
