No blanket round his wasted form
Under the rainy sky he slept;
While, pointing his envenomed shafts
Around him, Death, the archer, erept
He dreamed of hunger, and held out
His hand to clutch the bread
A white-robed angel with torch
Among the living and the dead
Seemed bearing, smiling as he went
The vision walked him, and he spied
The post-boy, followed by crowd
OF tamished prisoners who cried
For letters-etters from their friends.
Crawling upon his hands and knees,
He hears his own name called, and loI
letter from hi, wife he sees;
Gasping for BREATH he shrieked aloud,
And, lost in natures blind eclipse,
Faltering amid the suppliant crowd,
Caught it and pressed it to his lips.
A guard who followed, red and wroth
And fiourishing rusty brand,
Reviled him with taunting OATH
And snatched the letter from his hand

Despair had made the prisoner brave.
Then, give me back my money, sir;

You took my money and my clothes,
Take my life, too-but let me know
How Mary and the children are
And will bless you ere go.'
The very moonlight through his hands,
As he stood suppcating. shone,
And his sharp features shaped themselves
Into prayer; and such tone
OF anguish there WAS in his cry
For wife and children, that the guard

An Odd Firm,

Camp Curtin was not properly o
camp of instruction. 1t was rather a

which had been recruited In various
parts of the state. Hitler the volun-

the service,

turned deaf ear TO the solicitations Of
a certain dealer in cutlery, who insisted
on selling us each revolver and an ug

But Moses entreated in vain. while
his wife stood at the street door looking
at regiment marching to the depot,
weeping as II her heart would break,
and wiping her eyes with the corner OF

"Ah, de poor boys!" said she. "Dere

The Late Bishop Peck a Victim Of COL
lega Bows Prank.

The recent mortal ext OF the late Rev.
Bishop Peck recalls an incident that
made national mirth at his expense over
thirty years ago. clever trick of the
undergraduate boys of Dickinson Col
lege, perpetrated soon after his aces
sion to the Presidency of that institu-
ton. The now distinguished Moncure
ID. Conway, then Methodist preacher
in prospect has the traditional credit of
being one of the devisers of the scheme.
In the Spring of 1s49 the Baltimore
Methodist Conference held its annual
session in Staunton, Va, the seat of one
of the three State lunatic asylums. -
While President Peck was on his way
to the conference, the young rascals in
the college wrote letter to the Super
intendent of the Staunton Asylum stat
ing that lunatic had escaped from
confinement in Pennsylvania, very
large man, very bald-headed, with
great, round, staring blue eyes. whose
special form of mania was that he was
Methodist preacher and President Of
Dickinson College. 1t was thought
that he had gone to Stanton to attend
the conference to which he fancied he
belonged He answered to the name
and title of "Dr. Peck" The friends
of this unfortunate gentleman would be
exceedingly obliged to the Stanton
Superintendent if he would watch the
cars, and, if the individual described
made his appearance, quietly take
charge of him and keep him under asy-
lum restraint till some friend could get
to him. All charges for his detention
would be promptly met The Superin
tendent was on hand at the time indi
Gated, singled out his man readily, anc
courteously addressed him: "Dr, Peck

You are very kind" said the unsus
pecting stranger, as he took his seat il
the vehicle, and was forthwith whirlet
off to the lunatic limbo, where he wouiC
have been incarcerated as dangerous
maniac, il the preachers of the confer
ence had not interfered and assured thu
incredulous keeper of the Old Dominion
cracks that the Falstaifian doctor waI
as sane as the average Of humanity ant

EARLY MARRIAGES.

Ii seems 10 me that 4 great many
boys-ior what else are they at the age
of twenty or even twenty one ?-are
rushing into matrimony nowadays, de.
pending entirely upon their small sal
aries for home comforts and the neces.
sarics of life, never dreaming Of draw
backs in the shape of sickness, etc.
There should be a law requiring a
young nun to state before court his
ability to care for and support a wife
before he married her. The fact OF
the matter is, this business OF mere boys
getting married should be stopped.
Many and many a time, after marriage,
they have hard work to- support their
family. They lose their situation, get
i'll, or something OF the sort. Then
they get into debt, never get out, live
4 hard, weary life, and heartily wish
they had never heard of marriage
Love is all very we'll, but one can't
make three meals day out of il, won't
pay house rent and board bills. Some
OF these younglings think only of the
blissful future, with no storms, no heavy
expenses and all that. We do not de-
sire to discourage early marriages, but
do say most emphatically that the
young man who goes into this business
had better understand the cost, rcspon
sibilitcS and tribulations. And when
they can barely support themselves, it
is nothing but ridiculous madness to
tic themselves to others. II the young
gentlemen will kindly roll little OF
the above into their cigarettes after
dinner and smoke it, they will find it
TO set well.

Il saw folks lookin' good deal and

Just than John looked round at me-
Now he never took no notice of my

to talk to me and tell me il want no

so he got the buggy and when went
to gi, in, if there want my bunnit lyin'
in the top of the buggy.
You see, when John let the top back,
one Of the long ends OF ribbon got
caught some way, and the bunnit was
drawn right off my head. Come to
look at it, the elastic cord hadn't been
half sewed on, and had pulled off; tha,
was why the bunnit slipped off so easy.

Dsy- Mr.. ]. A. Smith, a Western dairy.
man, writing of the importance Of feed
and proper treatment oi dairy cows,
gives some excellent suggestions on
this topic. He says that dairymen are
often surprised at the light weight Of
their milk the next morning after
cold rain storm, through which their
cows have suffered unstablcd, and il is
only natural result of such treatment.
The COW does not eat as much, for one
thing; and another is. part OF what she
does eat goes to repair the waste Of her
system in withs,anding the effects OF
the storm, and that keeps a per cent.
out OF the milkpail until she has recover
ed from the effects Of such exposure
Ii is also true that 4 COW, affected by
short feed or painful exposure, not
only loses in the quantity Of her yield
OF milk, bu; in the amount of fatty
matter it contains. In a word, nature
has SO organized the COW that she re.
venges herself on her owners pocket
for cruel neglec, and short feed and
farmer might just as well try to dodge
taxes and death as to escape the unwise
treatment of COW. In point of fact,
when thus treated, she takes the cream
first, and gives the owner what skim
milk she cannot assimilate.
