Their hate was once too deep for fears;

Up leapt his anger like flame;
With clash of mail he faced his foe,
And babe him stand and meet him SO.

The details of the journey through the
eastern states are irrelevant, though in
degree interesting, until we find them in
the Northwest. The narrative says:
"The next stop brought them to Galena,
the last town on the journey. At this
place and Dubuque the blacklegs were 80
thick, man had to be on his guard all
the time, and many doors to buildings
were full of ball holes. At Prairie du
Chem they found the great depot Of the
Northwest Fur Co. They remained here
one day, and took on more provisions.--
When they left here they left all civiliza-
tion behind, and went into the Indian
country, there being no white settlers

two Mackinaw boats TO carry the freight

The Top Rail.

1t would be well if every one giving
an order should first consider whether
it admitted of a misconstruction. A
physicians prescription, so the story
runs, reads: "When taken to be well
shaken" A frightful result followed
from shaking the patient instead of the
medicine. The following incident is an
illustration of how easily soldiers can
misconstrue an order when it interferes
with their comfort.
During the Peninsular Campaign of
our late war one of the Union officers
found it necessary to take stringent
measures to prevent depredations upon
the surrounding country. Complaints
frequently came to him that his soldiers
used the fence-rails for fire-wood Ac-
cordingly he issued an order that only
the top rail should be taken.
Complaints, however, continued to
pour in, and soon private, Michael
McHenry, was caught in the act of
stealing the lowest rail of a farmer s
fence. Michael was an honest fellow
and a favorite, being something of a
wag. As this was his first offense, the
officer determined to be lenient with
him. So he had Michael brought to
headquarters and demanded of him an
explanation.
"Sure, sorr," said Michael, eve was
only begin orders. Ach of the b'ys
TUX the top rail as he come to it, an 1
was last, an sure the bottom rail was
then the top one, too"
The uselessness of further explana-
tons was so evident that the matter
was dropped. The order had only
caused the rails to be taken IN order,
beginning at the top.-Youth's Com

And croak defiance to the moons wan ray.

And leaves the sedgy marshes OF her birth

Yet tears are I'm her eyes, ahl mournful tears,
