The Old Man Wants Them Guns. :"

During the siege of Nashville con-
federate battery upon hill was serious
~ annoying part of Pap Thomas line.
Riding up to Col. Brownlow, the old
man said: "Col. Brownlow, I want
those guns, and want them bad at
the same time pointing with his sword
toward the offending battery. Drawing
his sword and stepping out in front of
his line, Col. B. stepped in front of his
regiment and said: '.Men, the old man
says he wants them guns, and says he
wants them bad" Everybody was
silent for a moment, and then a six
footer in the ranks sung out, "Boys, if
the old man says he wants them guns, he
oughter have them. Let's all chip in
and buy them for him, for it looks
mighty unhealthy up that way" Aper-
feet storm of laughter swept along the
line, and then the boys started up for
the guns, and got them for the old man,
though many q poor fellow who started
for them never got back again.

she following with stiffened limbs. The
child continued its cries; he went to the
bed, turned back the coverlet, and
caught the infant up in his arms. Then
Kate fell down on her knees and uttered
that scream which reached my ears as I
sat smoking at her chamber window.
The next morning when the maid
went at the appointed hour to awaken
her mistress, she found her kneeling on
the floor in front of haggard-looking
creature, who sat in chair with baby
LII his arms. It was sleeping quietly; he
was grooming over it and mumbling low
ing words to 1T in a hushing tone. AS
the amazed woman drew near, Mrs.
Taverney turned upon her a face that
seemed wr1nkled and aged, and said
husklly: do not disturb them. He
thinks the baby is his. He has been
very gentle to her. Let them be p And
then, IN moment, she dropped side
WAYS, insensible.
From that night Spencer partially re-
covered from his madness, insomu Oh
that it was not found necessary to send
him back to the asylum from which he
escaped, but he always persisted in be-
hevlng the baby to be his own. Mrs.
Taverney made arrangements to take
care OF him and they have in manner
lived together ever since. She seems
to think that he belongs to her, and
when [ visited them the other day, her
manner toward him struck me as being
exquisitely tender. The little girl was
smiling between them.

Nj AID LOVE.
BY JULIAN HAWTHORNE.

Spencer Curtis, as / remember him,
was a hollow-cheeked, bright-eyed, ex-
citable young fellow, with soft brown
hair. a lock of which was continually
falling down over his broad forehead.
He could not talk long on any subject
without becoming excited, and when he
was excited he coughed, and his eager
face flushed; he was supposed to have a
tendency to consumption. In character
he was viewy, enthusiastic and unpractic-
FL, but subject to fits of profound de-
preston, and his enthusiasm was easily
discouraged. There was a slender vein
of genius III the man, and he occasional
~ said strangely brilliant things without
seeming to be aware of it. He was given
to philosophical speculations and had
written a very eccentric book, treating
de onuaiQus ct qati6uSdana aliis, which
had been made fun of by most of the re-
views, but which contained promise OF
powers that might have achieved some
thing really more valuable. But,
somehow, we never regarded Curtis as a
man who was likely to live long, and
perhaps this led us to humor him more
than we should otherwise have done.
Still he was winning or lovable fellow,
and some women were very much at
tracted by him. He himself, however,
was extremely shy of female society, and
since he had only about e3, 900 In the
world. besides what he could make by
his pen, nobody ever dreamed of such a
thing as hearing that he was going to be
married.
Consequently, was nothing less
than amazed when he burst into nv
rooms one day and, Selling me by both
arms, looked for a moment in nv face
and said:
''Kate Masters has promised to be my
wife p

Spencer's eyes darkened, and his face

els that all you have to say to me %
he asked in an aggrieved tone.
"But you took my breath away; be-
side"
"Do you suppose I care for her
money!"
"My dear fellow, of course not ]
only feared the news was too good to be
true. I congratulate you with all my
heart"
"Her money is the only thing that
troubles her." continued Spencer, drop.

was very much more to tell. He ha6

The Fate of Gen. Rousseau's Son.

Concerning Gen. Rousseaus son, who
recently died in q Poor-house in Maine,
the Indianapolis journal says: He
had deserted from the regular Army,
and became q poor, miserable tramp.
1t is the old story. Gen. Rousseau was
for many years an Indianian, and at one
time member of the Legislature. He
was brilliant man, of splendid ply
sique and bearing. 1t has been said that
he was the most magnificent looking
officer in the service. To such a man
the future seemed ever bright. 1t was
easy for him to achieve what less gifted
men labored in vain to accomplish.
And yet he could not save his boy from
the life of tramp and a death in
Poor 1t was easy to supply him
with money, to give him advantages
such as few boys get, to make room for
him III the Government service, but it
was not possible to make man of him.
The case is not peculiar. 1t is one of
thousands, and an awful lesson to fathers.
A time comes when money, friends, edu
cation avail nothing to counteract the
mistake of the parent in the boyhood of
his child. 1t is said that among the
tramps and outcasts of the country
more owe their condition to over-indul-
gence in youth than to poverty and
hardships. Statistics on this point, ac-
curately made up, would tell an awful
tale. No sermon or lecture could equal
it. The father, made sturdy and strong
by youth of poverty, III his ignorance
and fondness proceeds deliberately to
ruin his children. The labor that made
him a man is regarded as disgraceful by
his children. The lessons that poverty
taught him are never taught his chill
dren, and prodigality and dissipation fol-
low. One can but think of Gen. Rous-
seau few years since the flower of
manhood; a man among a million,
glorious to look upon, and his poor boy
to-day dies wretched tramp in Poor
house. Who shall say where the blame
rests"
