AN EPISODE OF GETTYSBURG,

Subway between the coatcuding lines,
Gss says tue New York Star, was O SOLITARY
tree that in peaceful times had given shade
to the harvest hands at their noon. Early in
the morning some Confederate sherpshooters
had crawlcd out to this tree, and were able
to reckon their game at every shot So de-
structive, in fsot did their fire become. that
the widest imprecations were shouted at
them by the Federals, and threats were madc
that if they were taken they would get no
quarter. All ut once thoro came lull in the
firing in that part of the limo. A Confeder>
ate was seen to rise up from the base of tho
tree and advance toward tho Federals with
his hands raised. Shots were frcd at him.
but there was curiosity in his approach and
the word was, "Wsit till We see what he
wants TO do" Some thought he had a mind
to desert, and encouraged him with shouts of
"Come over, Johnny we won't fro" But
If the Confederate spoke, what he said could
not be heard in the din of tho cauonadipr
aud musketry. Forward still he came, and
all eyes we're strained to sec what it could be
that he meant to do. 1t might be merely a
trick to deceive. Suddenly tho Confederate
dropped upon tho grass. The noxt instant a
thrill of enthusiasm passed through the Fed
erals, Durmurs of admiration were heard
and then cheer as hearty as if given in a
charge, burst forth from their throats and
the cheer repeated, increasing in volume,
proved that unsefsh actions are possible, and
that there are noble hearts to appreciate aud
respond.
The Confederate sharpshooter, who had
been doing his best to destroy his anita gonist.
had observed in front of him a wounded
Federal, lying helplessIy on the ground be-
tween the two lines, and begging in his ag-
onisiug thirst for drink, aud at the almost
certain risk of losing his own life, he had
gone forward to give comfort to a distressed
enemy. This it was that caused the Federal
cheer, and for q few minutes stoppod the
work of death in that neighborhood When
the sharpshootcr had performed his act of
mercy he hsstened back to his troo and
with the warning cry, "DowD. Yanks. we're
going to FIRE !" the little, uupromeditsted
truce was ended, and wss soon forgotten in
the grand event that followed almost imme>
diately after.
The next day-thc Fourth of July-a
heap of Confederstes was found under thst
tree. Whether the hero of tho day before
was one of the ghastly dead, will probably
never be known

The Folly Of the Day.

Thore is G dreadful ambition abroad for
being "genteol." We keep up appearances
too. often at tho expense Of honesty aud
though We may not be rich, yet We must seem
TO be respectable though only in the meanest
sense-in mere vulgar show. We havo not
the courage to go patiently onward in tho
condition of life in which it has pleased God
to call US but must need live in some fabh>
ionable state, TO which wo ridiculously please
to call ourselves, and all to crafty tho vanity
OF that unsubstnutial, gentool world; of which
We form part. There ia a constant struggle
and pressure for front seats in the social am
phtheatre. in the midst of which all noble,
self-deuyiug resolve is trodden down, and
many fne natures are inevitably crushed TO
death What waste, what misery, what bank
ruptcy, come from all this ambition to dszzIo
others with tho glare of apparent worldly suc-
cess, We need not describe. Tho mischievous
results show themselves in thousand ways
in the rank frauds committed by men who
dare to be dishonest, but do not daro to seem
poor and in the desperate dsshes at fortune,
in which tho pity is not so much for those
who fail, ss for the hundreds of innocent
families who are SO often involved in tho
ruin.

There is DO sphere of life SO narrow or

WORDS OF WIsDoM.-Promisea hold men
faster. than benefits; hope ID cable and
gratitude a thread.
There is in all this world NO puoh fount OF
deep, strong, dcathless love as that within
mothers heart.
In this age almost every person is a reader
aud receives more instruction from the Dress
than the pulpit.
The fruit of liberal education is not lesrn-
ing, but the capacity and desire to learn :;
not knowledge but power.
When Amos Lawrence was asked for I'D
vice he said: young man, base all your .c-
tlons upon principle; preserve your integri-
ty and character, aud in doing this never
reckon the cost"
In peace, patriotism really consists only in
this-that every one sweeps before his own
door, minds his own business, also learns his
own lesson, that it may be well with him in
his own houee.

Grandma sa. at the window one fine after>
noon, knitting. In group, on the ground
below, sat three little boys dressed in blue
sailor suits, red stockings aud polo caps.
What nice>looking little boys" thought
Grandms.
Presently up jumped one little boy and
said, Come on, follows, let's play something!'
"AA right" said smother boy, "One,o old
cat" Then they all ran into the house.
"Dear mel! said Grandma, ''I. thought
they were good boys; but they seem TO be
going to tease pussy"
In a few minutes they came back. Ons
of them carried largo club, while another
had something which grandma, who could
not see very well, took to be q stone.
"Oh, what cruel boys!" thought the old
lady. Its bad enough TO tie things to
cats tail but to beat her with club aud to
throw stones at her is still worse"
''l'll be pitcher" shouted one of the boys
''There !" said grandma, ''he says he'll
pitch her. Who would believe that boys in
red stockings and blue suits could be SO
cruel?"
"I'l be INNER" cried another boy.
"'lnner y" said grandma. "What does
that mean? Some new expression, I have
no doubt, which 1 never before heard; bus
an old lady of eighty years can't be expected
to keep up with the times. It's something
dreadful. of COURSE"
But what was the old Iady's surprise whom
the boys threw aside their blue jackets, aud
two of them began to throw the ''stono" back
aud forth, one to the other while the third
boy stood between, striking at it as it few
through the air, aud sometimes hitting it and
sometimes not. There they stayed all the
afternoon doing the same thing.
"Why," said grandma, putting on her
glasses, and looking more closely, Il declare!
They're y only playing ball, after ALL
thought them. They are such pretty littlo
boys, and have such pretty rod stockings,

Some Facts About Australia,

Australia, with Tasmania, is only q little
less in area than Europe. The hottest eli
mste in the world prob.bIy occurs in the
desert interior of Australia. Capt Sturt
hung q thermometer on a tree shaded both
from Gun and wind. Il was graduated to
l27 degrees F., yet SO great was the heat of
the air that the mercury roso till it burst the
tube, and the temperature must thus have
been at least l28 degrees F., apparently the
highest ever recorded in any part of the
world. For three months Capt Sturt found
the mean temperature to be over 1O1 de-
grees F. in the shade. Nevertheless, on the
southern mountains and tsbIe>lauds three
feet of snow sometimes falls u day. Snow
storms have been known to last three weeks,
the snow lying from four to fifteen fect in
depth and burying the cattle. Australia is
the land of food aud drought. The annual
rainfall at Sidney has varied from twenty
two to eighty two inches. Lake George, near
Gouburn, was in 1924, twenty miles long
and eight miles broad. 1t gradually shrank
till in 1887, it became quite dry, and it's bot
tom was converted into grassy plain. Ia
1865, it was e lake sgain, geventeen feet
deep; two years later it was only two feet
deep; end in 1876 it was twenty feet in

How TO MAKE AN HOL1AN Harp
Wax piece OF button hole twist about two
and half feet long; tie eaoh end strongly
to small peg and thrust the pegs down the
erevice between tho two sashes of your south>
ern or western window, stretching the silk as
tight as possible. 1t will surprise you with
the sweetness aud variety of tho tones the
wind will briog from it. Having done this
you may be moved to 90 further and prepare
a moro elaborate Holisu harp. Take some
quarter inch" wood and make box the
length of your window frame, four or Eve
inches deep and six or seven wide. Bore
few small holes in q circle near what will be
the upper side of the back of tho box when
placed in the window with the open side Of
the box in front. To the upper sido of the
box f.sten two bridges, one at each end, and
stretch over them several strings of fne cat
gut, contriving serios of screw pins to aid
in the tight stretching necessary, and allow
of their being tuned to one note. Then raiso
your sash on the windy side of the house, and
the sound passing through the holes and over
the strings will in its rising and falling make
very sweet music.
