His prayer was granted High as heaven. behold

Rust and the moth, silence and dusty sleep.

Plastic and vocal to his sense; each peak

A NEW DANCE.

It Will Be Responsible for Much Wear and
Tear of Hosiery.
The Highland schottische isn'nt Scotch. as its
name and character indicate, but quite English.
1t being the present rage in London society
The step is peculiar. You skip three times
quickly, with the toe pointed, and then suddenly
bring the heel up to touch the calf of the leg
before repeating the three skips with the other
foot foremost The music for this ballet sort of
thing is incitive. and the aspect of the dancer is
frisky.
The real demand of this round dance is for
short skirts, since the heel-and calf joxtaposi-
tons are not visible to the observer under ordi-
nary circumstances
Whether the girl really touches her heel to
her calf, or skirts the unseen movement by
merely lifting her foot above the hem of her
Dress is a matter between herself and her con
science.
If she is honest about it, there are going to be
a good many holes worn in unusual hosiery
spots, by sharpedged French heels. On the
other hand she will be able to tap off mos
quitoes hitherto inaccessible politely. and to in
eldentally scratch with her shoes the itches of
their bites.

Grants Plan After Vicksburg.

Generai Grant In November Century.
After the fall of Vicksburg urged strongly
upon the government the propriety of move
ment against Mobile. General Rosecrans had
been at Murfreesboro. Tenn, with large and
well-equipped army from early in the year 1863
with Bragg confronting him with force quite
equal to his own at first, considering it was on
the defensive But after the investment of
Vicksburg, Bragg's army was largely depleted
to strengthen Johnston, in Mississippi. who was
being reinforced to raise the siege frequently
wrote to General Haleck, suggesting that Rose
Grams should move against Bragg By so doing
he would either detain the latters troops
or lay Chattanooga open to capture.
General Halleck strongly approved the
suggestion. and finally wrote me that ne
had repeatedly ordered Rosecrans to advance.
but that the latter had constantly failed to COM
ply with the order, and at last after having held
a council of war replied, in effect, that it was q
military maxim not to fight two decisive battles
at the same time If true the maxim was not
applicable in this case 1t would be bad to be
defeated in two decisive battles fought the same
day, but it would not be bad to win Thorn. I.
however, was fighting no battle, and the siege of
Vicksburg had drawn from Rosecrans's front so
many of the enemy that his chances of victory
were much greater than they would be if he
waited until the siege was over, when these
troops could be returned. Rosecrans was ordered
to move against the army that was detachng
troops to raise the SIEGE Finally he did move on
the oath of June, but ten days afterward Vicks-
burg surrendered, and the troops sent from
Bragg were free to return. 1t was at this tina
that recommended to the general in chief the
movement against Mobile. knew the peril the
Army of the Cumberland was in, being depleted
continually, not only by ordinary casualties, but
also by having to detach troops to hold it's con-
tly-extending line over which to draw sup
plies. while the enemy In front was as constantly
being strengthened. Mobile was important to
the enemy and, in the absence of threatening
force was guarded by little else than artillery.
If 'threatened by land and from the water at the
same time, the prize would fall easily, or troops
would have TO besent to its defense. Those troops
would necessarily come from Bragg.
"My judgment was overruled however. and
the troops under my command were disspated
over other parts of the country where it was
thought they could render the most service

Heart and Soul.

'Oh, soul. am tired and fain would rest.
Is there no end to this dreary way9
Must still beat on my prison breast.
And throb with anguish for aye and aye?
You promised pleasures when were young;
We found but toll in the way you led.
The blooms ungathered the songs unsung-"
'On, on, faint heart, they are still ahead"
You promised love, but loved in vain,
And joy, but its wings have been too fleet.
You promised peace, and found but pain
That weighs me down till scarce can beat.
Where are the riches we were to win?
And Fame, must its voice be ever dumb!
And rest, sweet rest, shall it soon begin?"
''On, on, oh, heart! they are still to come"
''Too late Too late! For the time is by;
My pulses cease, am cold as stone.
Farewell, oh soul; am faint de-
"Then loose your hold and I go alone:
loved you well, but your prison breast
Had narrow room for a soul divine.
Poor, weary heart, you have found your rest;
I'll on till the bliss and the song are mine"

Indian Summer.

A dreamy languor fingers
Like lost perfume in the air
An odoP shed
From flowers dead
An echo of rare songs that were.
A gentle light diffuses
Through the strange, mysterious haze
The smokes that rise
In azure dyes
From funeral pyres Of summer days.
We walk in pleasant places.
That fond summer loved the most;
Again we meet
In converse sweet,
For summer haunts them like ghost.

leaves to one son my gold watch and chain
