THE HERO.

The cannons all were silent. the bugle ceased
to sound,
And many a valiant warrior lay lifeless onthe
ground;
For night had forced an armistice upon the
! ~ eager foes, -
And all around was Iuietness, save where the
cry arose
From wounded and from dying, or when the
war horse neighed, lsT
For man and beast alike had felt the keenness
of the blade.
And now a lonely maiden is searching DER the
plain,
For sine would find her lover, to kiss if he be
To tend his wounds if wounded, to battle his
~ aching head;
And still she weeps, for much she fears he's
tF- numbered with the dead.
For hours she wanders slowly, and looks at
every face,
Till, weary lad and foot sore, she leaves the
hofrid place,
But where, oh, where's her hero? For his
country has he died?
And was he foremost in the dght-the bravest
on his side:
She walked Till nearly daybreak, in sad and
pensive mood,
When suddenly the lost one before the maid
en- stood.
joy. Joy. he had nos perishedl Ere was the
fight begun,
The owner of that gallant form had turned
about and run!

by far the largest masonry arch in this

carries the Washington Aqueduct over
Cabin John Creek. 1t has span OF 22O
feet; it is 1O1 feet high, and twenty feet
wide, and it forms an arc of circle
having q radius of 134.2852 feet. The
engineer in charge of the aqueduct was
Gen. NJ. C. Meigs. The work was begun
In 1853 and finished in 1868.

A Few Hints to the Diner.Out

If by writing this we can induce one
man who now wipes his mouth ON the
table-cloth to come up and take higher
grounds, and wipe them on his pants,
We shall feel amply repaid.
If you can not accept an invitation to
dinner do not write your regret on the
back of pool check with blue pencil.
This is now regarded as q richOchet. A
simple note to your host informing him
that YOUR washerwOman refuses to re-
lent Is sufficient.
On seating yourself at the table draw
off your gloves and put them in your
lap under your napkin. Do not put
them in the gravy, as it would ruin the
gloves and cast q gloom over the gravy.
II you have just cleaned your gloves
with benzine you might leave them out
in the front yard.
Stones in cherries or other fruits
should not be placed upon the table
cloth, but slid quietly into the pocket of
YOUR neighbor or noiselessly tossed I'M
der the table.
Ladies should take but one glass Of
wine at dinner. Otherwise there might
be difficulty in steering the male portion
of the procession home.
Do not make remarks about the guam
tity your companion has eaten. If the
lady who is your companion at the Ia
/ BILE, whether she be your wife or the
wife of some one else, should eat quite
heartily do not offer to pay your host,
or say to her, "Great Scott! I hope
you will not kill yourself because you
have the opportunity" but be polite
and gentlemanly, even though the food
supply be cut off for q week.
If one of the gentlemen drop . raw
oyster into his bosom and he should
have trouble in fishing it out. do moi
make facetious remarks ABOUT it, but
assist him to find it, laughing heartily
! Ill the time.-BM Nye.

to espouse; and, as Seth, though by no
means protesting Christian, nominally
attended the Methodist Church, while
Pelt's family were Baptists, the lines
between the two congregations marked
pretty definitely the limits of the fac
tons.
Grandma Billin's stopped visiting
Mrs. Perkins (s'the Deacon's'' wife) be-
cause the latter had ridden up the river
with "that sassy Pelt Cressy"; the
Judge was no longer on speaking terms
with Banty; even the ministers wives
ceased exchanging friendly courtesies.
The village of Clearpond was quite at
skies and sevens.
About this time 9 lay preacher de-
scended upon the place, and the Meth
odists were soon in the midst of pow
erful revival. The Baptists held off for
. while; but soon the ice began to thaw.
and by fortnight after the first ''unlon
meeting" the two congregations had SO
far forgotten their differences that they
could worship together fervently and
ignore the strife in their midst. Even
the rival stage drivers hurried their
horses, so that they, too, could attend
the meetings.
The night of the twelfth of March was

gossips interviewed them, only to be baf-
fed but at last it all came out.
Seth Plunkett grew more and more
interested in the revival as the Spring
wore on; but he was a man of deep feel
ing and the work of conversion in him
was not rapid. He rose for prayers
night after night at the meetings. The
brethren all Iabored with him; but he
said he "couldn't seem to see no
light"
One night, after the elder had made
q particularly moving appeal, the last
part of which Seth Plunkett had come
in in time to hear, the latter rose, with
vehemence which nearly upset the
seat in front of him, and began to speak
earnestly. The Judge was there, and
even the Deacon had stopped in "to
see the fun" as he expressed 1t, and all
hung anxiously upon Seth's words.

Women as photographers!

The English government has employed
women as telegraphists since January
1870 Nominations to complete are given
by the Postmaster General. The limits Of
age are mot under IA or over 49," They
receive. eight shillings a week to begi
with, the highest scale of pay being thirty
shillings g week, and they work eight
hours day between the hours of 8 a ID.
and 8 p. IN. They formerly worked in
separate galleries, but it was found desraN
bic to p ace them in the Same galleries rs
the m, II ard boys, and the society and
mutual influence has been productive Of
ben, Fl ial results. The female tGlegraphist8
belong to the class from which assistants
behind the counters Of shops are recruited +:
the posts, however, are open to women of
all grades. Great accuracy, general in
teligence, and quickness are required for
the work, which is, as rule satisfactory
accom- plished. 1t is deemed inexpcdient to
employ females in night work. At the
present time 96S women telegraphists are
employed by government in London,
Edinburgh, and Dublin.
