In stiffness, as if, indeed, the dead was
passing there-thus they moved. Then
they stacked arms and took off their cart
ridge-boxes and laid them on the pile.
Lastly, painfully, they furled their battle
flags and laid them in the dust some
kneeling down over them and kissing
them with burning tears. And then the
Star Spangled Banner" waved alone
upon the field. Thus, all day long, di-
vision after division comes, goes through
the ceremony, and passes on. Having
been stripped of citizenship, and given
their honor never to raise arms
again, they can go where they will.
Meantime, all day, no taunt, no cheer,
nor whisper of vainglory escapes single
man of ours. There was something like
a half-fraternal feeling toward these men.
We were fellow-soldiers at last. The ire.
mendous battles were wrought by us to-
gether. Whoever had made the war, we
had ended it.
On the morrow, along the hillside, what
a contrast indeed Singly, or in groups,
on foot, on horse, are those men making
their way, every one for his far-away
home, and we are left alone and lonesome.
When we took up our weary march home
ward, it was dull to plod on without Skin
mishers ahead. 1t was tame, too, that
where the road ended no pickets we're
placed, and our peace not to be disturbed
by the leadened songsters. 1t seemed a
waste of opportunity that upon the march,
when we entered a valley, no battery
belched upon US from the heights beyond.
But all is over now, and fast vanishing

standing before me and around. But
though sometimes the heart will yearn
for those stirring duties and those high
companionships of the field, still, when l
think of all the noble spirits that have
passed in battle and the storm, aud how
these little Virginia rivers are flowing on
tonight ust as they did while yet those
earnest young eyes were won't to gaze
across the silent waters; of how many
hearts are still tonight that then beat
stronger than their tide, thank God and
heaven that no bugle on to-morrow's dawn
shall wake US to reveille. Let us not for
get, dear friends, the last martyr; the
last a? should not say so: for are they
not dying day by day, land hour by hour, the
heroes who fought the war to the glorious
end |? But the great martyr, who, in the
supreme moment of his victory, with
malice toward none, with charity for all, u
following the right as God gave him to
see the right, went to join his 100000

The Key to CarlyIe's Genius.

In the lately published Emerson and
Carlyle correspondence, there is passage
from Emerson's notebook, upon Carlyle,
that may well serve to start US upon our
course in this essay. " He has," says En-
erson, "manlv superiority rather than in
tellectuality; "there is more character
than intellect in every sentence" This
fact, with the consequent steep molina
ton of all Carlyle's faculties toward per-
sonality or personal prowess, affords the
master-key to him, to his life, his works,
his opinions, and is brief summary of
much that have written upon him. He
was man of vehement and overweening
conceit in man. A sort of anthropologi-
cal greed and hunger possessed him, an
Unsuitable craving for strong, picturesque
characters, and for contact and conflict
with them. This was his ruling passion
land it amounted to passion) all his
days. He fed his soul on heroes and he
roic qualities, and all his literary exploits
were search for these things. Where
he found them not, where he did not come
upon some trace of them in books, in So
ciety, in politics, he saw only barrenness
and futility. He was an idealist who was
inhospitable to ideas he must have a
man, the flavor and stimulus of ample
concrete personalities.-John Burroughs,
in the august Century.

Latitude, but Not Longitude.

Much latitude has been acquired in the
last few years in ladies' bathing Co.'S
tunes. Young girls whose delicacy would
be visibly affronted at any open allusion
to ankles or legs, display both with the
utmost composure on the crowded beach,
in their bathing dresses. Arms bare to
the shoulder are no uncommon spectacle.
A foreign actress appears at Long Branch
in atight-ftting jersey of dark blue fan
Sel, partially low in the neck and devoid
of sleeves. Tights of the same material
meet at the knee with cardinal-colored
hose. An eccentric conical-shaped straw
hat fastened over the ears completes the
costume, which seems more adapted to
the trapeze than to any other position in
life. In default of the trapeze, however,
the wearer of this light and airy dress
pirouettes about in the sand, now extend
ing herself at full length on her back and
pillowing her head on her bare, unprotect-
ed arms, and again, frog-like, drawing her
legs beneath her and burying herself in
the sand under the shelter of red plush
parasol Won at last, however, by Nep-
tunes advances, she filings aside the red
plush parasol and plunges madly into the
retreating blue waves, and all that is visi-
BILE for the ensuing moment is glimpse
of red leg and the bobbing up and down
of conical straw hat. In past days,
when life was less complicated and when
ladies who bathed, conscious of their I'M
becoming and unsightly costumes, rushed
rapidly into the sea, trusting to defy re-
cognition by their superhuman alertness,
and when the bath was at an end sought
the shelter of their bathing house with
equal speed, the present system of hold
ing levee on the sand in such circum-
stances was quite unknown. Now both
sexes-men reduced to the simple garb of
an acrobat, bare armed aud bare legged
form circle round the Maids who come
dripping from the sea, and all, inspired
by the simplicity of their condition, join
in refreshing conversation and childish by
play. At Newport, Narragansett Pier,
aud some other Understandable resorts,
policemen are stationed along the beaches
to prevent men from bathing in costumes
which easily shock even the matrons that
frequent these places. From what we
hear, it would be a move in the interest of
good morals if the police would occasion
ally send some of the female bathers back
to get on little more drapery.-The Hour.
