Bill Arp--His Children and His
Grandchildren.

Our grandchildren are having a good
time now. They have finished break
ing the bull calf and are very busy
making f1utter mills under the fshpond
dam. The fall is about five feet and
they keep the water busy and the
wheel, too, and are talking about a
little saw-mill attachment. lust let
them go along and use my tools and
dull my handsaw and gap my AK and
waste my nails and leave everything
where they didn't find it. for they are
on a big frolic now, and will have to
go back to school in a few days.
overheard them talking about school,
and one said: ri wish there wasn't
such thing asschool!" And another
said: s'Well, don't, for the school is
all right, and don't want to grow up
a Ounce, but [ wish my school days
were all over-that's what l wish"
But Jessie, our Jessie, my Jessie, has
left us. She has gone to town to school,
and we will not see her but one day in
a week. It is mighty hard on us,
for she is the light of the house and
the comfort of my age. One by
one they have to leave us.
Ralph has gone to Florida to live and
work, and we are regetting lonesome and
homesick. We miss them at night and
in the morning and at the table. Even
the dog looks sad and watches the road
for their coming. But all's well that
ends well, and we are thankful for the
good that is left us. Carl is here yet
and lot ofgrandchildren They car
ry their sling-shots with as much impu
dence as town boy carries his pistol
in his hip pocket. Two of them made
target of some fine pears in the top
of a favorite tree and left the little
rocks in the pears. l promised them
whipping but somehow or somehow
else they didn't get it. There is always
somebody around to interfere with my
arrangements. So they wanted to 60

my opportunity has come. When l

Lincoln OH the Battlefield.

Mrs. General Custer in the Chicago Tribune,
Our Minister to the Argentine Re-
pnblie has been telling me OF scene
which has as yet been unpublished.
Being the personal friend of the late
President OF the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, be asked the official to tell
himthe truth regarding an accusation
against the President during the dark
days of our war. A newspaper para
graph went the rounds attributing to
Mr.. Lincoln want Of solemnitv in
singing a frivolous song at the very
outposts OF our advance pickets. MI.
Garrett, who accompanied Mr.. Lin
coin on many journey to the front,
gave the true version of the story
from which the garbled account had
been first evolved. General Nc
Clellan sent for the President in a
critical hour, and he responded by
starting at once. They had NO soon
er allghted from the car on reaching
headquarters than Secretary Stanton
approached General Mcclellan and
brusquely addressed hina. by Saying:
why are you delaying an advance?
What keeps you from hurting this
army on to the foe?' "T have asked
the President and you to- come per-
sonally," said the General. '*that you
might see for yourself the neces-
sEty OF reinforcements, the depleted
ranks of our army, the broken
condition to which the last engage
ment has reduced u.s." Meanwhile
the dead ard wounded were being car
ried from the battlefield. The.lantern
OF the men as they moved among the
slain shone out like firef1ies as they
progressed. AS one stretcher was
passing Mr.. Lincoln he heard thevoice
OF a lad dealing to his mother IN ageniz-
ing tones. His great heart filed He
forgot the crisis of the hour. Hisvery
being concentrated itself IN the cries OF
the dYlng boy. Stopping the carriers
he knelty and bending over him asked
"What can l do for you, my poor
child?" +tOh, you will do nothing for
me- he-replied: "You are yankee:
[ cannot hope that my messages to-
my motihsr will ever reach her." Mr..
Lincolnis tears, his voice full ofitiie
tenderest love. convinced the boy
of his sincerity and he gave his good
bye words without reserve. The pres
ident directed them copied and ordered
that they be sent that night, withAa
flag of truce, into the enemy's lines
He onlytold the soldier who he was-
to convince him that his word woui5
be obeyed,. and when told that time,
was precious. as the distant outposts
must yet bevisited, be arose sereluctant
ly and entased the ambulance. With
sobs and taars he turned to Mark
Lemon, his friend, and said: 'Mark
my heart is breaking. Sing me some
thing; sing, the old song love, oft in.

was sitting in a room in the Max.
well House with General N. B. Forrest,
several years before his death.
General Forrest" I asked, cit has
often been said that previous to the
war you were a terror at the poker
table. How much did you ever win on
one hand?"
"He replied: 'I have played a few
heavy games and many a light one.
In New Orleans on one hand l won
SIT, 7,OOO."
"And what did you hold?"
''Three kings and two nines.''
Ihave always regretted I didn't ask
him what his opponent held, but I did
not. He told the following story, his
eyes filling with tears during it's recital:
"When my wife and I went to Mem
phis after the close Of hostilities we
had 7.2O, not a cent more or less.
We spent one entire afternoon ran
sacking an old portfolio hoping to find
some old uncollected account or
I. o. u which might realize. There
wasn't thing. I said to my wife:
'Rhoda, you have always been against
me and poker; | never played game

over one shoulder. Now have been
invited to Sneed's to dinner tonight
and I know there'U be cards. If you'll
give me your blessing this once, my
dear, l feel mighty sure can come

"Said she: Forrest, we've got

The Aurora BOrea1ix

From the Literary World.
What is the Aurora Boreaiis? many
men have asked and asked IN vain.
Scientific personages hans been
much interested in the matter. It
was as a participator in the-work Of
the international Polar Research Ex-
pedition that Herr TromboEt visited
the most distant parts of the Euro

owns, is still at fault; but in. answer

FOR HIS SAKE.

Hold closer still my hand dear love.
Nor fear it's touch will soil thine own;
No palm is cleaner now than this,
SO free from earth stain has it grown
Eince last you held it clasped so close,
And with it held my life and heart;
For my heart beats but in your smile,
And life were death, we two apart.
Tloved you so. And you? All, WE'LL
Ihave no word or thought OF blame;
And even now my voice grows low
And tender, whispering your name.
You gauged my love.by yours-that's all,
lido not think you understood;
There is appoint you men can't reach,
Up the white height of womanhood.
You love us-so at least you say,
With many tender smile and word;
You kiss us both on mouth and brow
Till all our heart within is stirred;
And having, unlike you, you see,
No other interests at stake,
We give our best, and count that death
Is blessed, when suffered for your sake.

Mr.. Blake never recovered the shock
and disappointment of his nephew's 8
death. He sank into dotage, and for
many tedious years Helena sad-eyed.
prematurely- aged woman-was his de-
voted guardian.
The only bright thing in her life was
Norton's little son, whom-humiliated,
frightened and subdued by the dread
full result of her manauvre-N1rs.
Blake had consented to relinquish and
leave in Mr.. Blake's charge, on the
condition that his future should be
provided for.
On an allowance, also supplied by
Mr.. Blake, she returned to the asso-
ciates OF her early life, and soon re-
married-to the no little satisfaction
of others besides poor stricken Mr..
