GENERAL GRANT UNDER GUARD.
A Time When His Staff Thought 1t Bette
to Have Him Guarded.

Time When His Staff Thought 1t Better
to Have Him Guarded.
Washington letter in New York Tribune.
retired army officer who on General
General Grants personal staff during the war,
speaking the other day of General Badeau's
ticle in the May Century, said: ''Badeau has
made one mistake. He says General Grant was
in danger of assassination during the last year of
the war, while his headquarters were at City
Point and that his personal staff formed plan
to protect him, one of them sitting up every
night as special guard. Now there wasn't one of
his staff who wouldn't have guarded General Grant
at the risk of his own life if necessary But there
was danger at City Point. Nobody thought
of it there There never was but one time and
place when we did think the presence of
troops was not sufficient protection, or that he
could add to his safety by making ourselves his
personal guard. That was at Culpepper, before
going to the Wilderness. The rooms of
the house we occupied were so situated
that General Grants room was somewhat isoat-
ed, and we thought that in spite of the guard
outside it was possible for an enemy to get to
his room unobserved. We took in the situation
and decided to place sentry before General
Grants door at night. after he had retired.
This was done without saying anything to the
General, who himself had no fears and had
thought nothing about it.
But he got even with us for keeping him out
of the secret. The first morning after the sentry
had paced back and forth all night before his
door, the General did not come down to break
fast. 1t was unusual for him to be late at break
fast, and after waiting some time, said to
Rawlings What in the mischief is keeping the
''old man" in bed so later After waiting
time longer, all got rather fdgety, and /
think it was Rawlings who finally said he'd go to
the Generals ROOM and see what was the mat
ter. WE'LL Rawlings went up, and found General
Grant all dressed and sitting quietly in his room.
why, General, breakfast has been ready
some time, said Rawlings.
"'Well, replied General Grant with perfect
seriousness, "a sentry has been guarding my
door all night. and supposed was under
rest Now, what have done to be placed under
arrest in this wayF
'Of course, General Rawlings appreciated the
joke, and when they came down together they
pretended to be as serious the General, who,
with dry humor, said: Gentlemen l am
sorry to have kept you waiting, but sentry has
been pacing before my door all night, and as I
thought was under arrest / couldn't come
down till released For an instant there was a
queer puzzled look on every face, and them we
all burst out laughing. He didn't share our fears
but let us have our way Every night while at
Culpepper an armed sentry paced before General
Grants door, guarding him while he slept

The Dead SOul.

1t smote me through with cold alright,
And would not go with the dawning light
Like other lies;
For in dreams men often meet guess,
Or wandering thought in bodily dress,
A visible No" or tangible Yes"
To some dim surmise
What was that horrible thing dreamedl

AS the MONDAY sunlight over him streamed,
Till, thrilled with dread.

AS only in dreams a soul can do,
That, though brain and body lived and grew,
His soul was dead.
Yes, there he stood creature indeed,
That could walk and talk and drink and feed,
And add up figures and write and read,
And work and we'd
And all with automatic neatness
Smiling even with studied sweetness,
And quite enjoying hfe's com pleteness,
The life he led.
TIL at last as I saw him standing there,
With never hope and never a care
His dead soul set in stony stare,
Poor soul" | said
And wilt thou never feel again
Divinest joy, most godlike pain
Love in which self is lost and slain?
Art thou quite deads"
And then in my pity I cried aloud,
"Oh, give to this poor dead soul shroud,
And hide him away from the living crowd
In some narrow bed.
On, rierciful heaven, give him a grave,
Or send some fire that will cleanse and save
And quicken again the soul God gave,
The soul that's deadi'

marching and wheeling, there is a constant yet

manual of arms, or rather the manual of

kept in perpetual motion. There is also to be

Waiting for Spring Clothes.

DO the little brown twigs complain
That they haven't leaf to wearl
Or the grass, when the wind and rain
Pull on their matted hairl
Do the little brooks struggle and moan
When the ice has frozen their feetl
Or the moss turn gray as a stone
Because of the cold and the sleet?
Do the buds that the leaves left bare
To strive with their wintry fate,
In moment of deep despair,
Destroy what they cannot create?
Oh. Nature is teaching us there
To patiently wait, and wait!

White-crested in the sultry heat
Lie the long fields of thick buekwheat
Wide acres stretched in rounded ease,
Alive with countless droning bees.
The hazy air repeats their hum
AS all day long they 60 and come,
An ancient hallowed, oaken stem
The only hive that shelters them,
The wild bees and their honey
Oh, the yellow honey!
Here it was, of summers night,
By moon and stars and lantern-light,
We robbed the wild bees honey
In that dark, mysterious round
Came and went mufffed sound
Now and again it family rose
The drowsy stir of late repose
Where down the great trunk. SCARED and lined,
ragged cleft divides the rT"d
smoking, flaming, vel ow and blue
We thrust the sulphur ta-4nes unrough,
For so we snatch the honey
Oh, the boarded honey.
AS towards, in the lonely wood,
Disarm the fierce. defensive brood
To snatch the boarded honey.
The angry swarm in labored fight
Beats heavily upward to the light,
And, echoed on the eircling wall.
Their dizzy rumblngS' rise and fall.
Yet hear! The hum of thick array
In smothered tumult sinks away,
And creaking to the noisy stroke,
From root to bough the unwilling oak
Yields up the amber honey
The lost forsaken honey!
Girded round with skin of beast,
Thus did John the Baptist feast
Upon the wild bees honey.
From that black and smoking dome,
Ribbed with hanging honey-comb,
The harmless hive comes pouring down,
A wasted stream of russell brown.
The sappy wood our bowl shall be-
The ragged wood o. the living tree
The narrow, shining, oaken chips
Shall carry to our thirsty lips
That crude. delicious honey.
The wild bees honey
Dripping melting caught in haste,
Sweet and bitter in one taste
The bee-bread and the honey.
When again shall this thing bel
All, my friend, remember mel
If time brings back the magic SO,
Call ME then, for I can but go
Among the woods, of a summers night,
In dew, and dark. and lantern-ight,
Torn, and stung and flushed, and warm,
To seize the comb from out the SWARM
And taste the wild bees honey;
To taste the wild bees honey
Oh, the yellow honey!
VIII time bring back the magic 500
Call me then, for can but go
Once more to feast on honey!
