incident of the civil war which he learned
while in Florence. He was introduced 10
Lord Burgoyne, OF England, with whom

just before the famous naval duel off
Cherbourg harbor, between the United
States man-oi war kearsarge and the Con-
federsoe privateer Alabama in which the
latter WAS sunk, Lord Burguyne visited the
Cherbourg in his yacht the Gres hound.
Both vessels at that time were in the har-
Dor, the kearsargc awaiting the sailing OF
the Alabama to strike her in neutral wa
tiers. Lord Bursoy NE was acquai oted with
some oi the officers on the kearsarge, and
one day at the table d'hote said something
10 his vis-a-vis, very intelligent American
whose acquaintance he had made al the
hotel, about visiting the ship. The gentle
man said If Lord Burgoyue was willing he
should very much like to accompany him
ON the visit.
The latter expressed his pleasure at hav-
ing so agreeable comp MON, and the ne 1t
day the TWO ITiehuS boarded the II earSarge.

been cut OUT but when it is discovered the tailor
cannot afford to throw the piece away. He SIM
ply calls on hi3 wife for several strands of hair,
hands them to the best-skilled workman in the

very fine needle and does his work so perfectly
that it is never known that the cloth

once knew tailor who got in peck of
trouble from having cut the button holes
on the wrong side of a costly coat He finally
overcame the difficulty by mending them with
his wifes hair Once upon time, as the story

coat, which was discovered, before being sent
home, to have a defect in it which could not be
remedied without stitching in piece of cloth the
size of tencent silver piece. After puzzling
over it for half day. l secured sharp tubular

be used in cutting gun ads. With this I cut
out the defect in the cloth. fitted piece in the

Has sped since the time saw it there,

While l monrned in Silent, keen despair,

That morning bright in the last of May,
My first gray hair.

So when we stop at the turning, where
The low'rihg sun with the shadows play.
We mourn far less for the lost and fair,
Than when we plucked, that earlier day,

A LONE Path.

She stood and looked adown youths western slope,
The path seemed dark and desolate, and long;
Dead at her feet there lay her hearts last hope.
Behind her were the fields of bloom and song.
Nothing but empty wastes and dismal sands
Her sd eyes saw, meath skies OF leaden hue,
And further down, the dreary arctic lands
OF lonely age. God, what barren view.
She caught her dead hope to her aching heart,
1t was SO cold she. could not hold it there;
Body and soul seemed almost wrenched apart
In that one moment of supreme despair.
Oh pain! oh, DEATH there Is no sadder SIGHT
Than this, wherein all light and bloom have died

Her last joy crucihed! AN j .t ,sl4..
