A Wise Young Fiancee.
' York Cor. PHILADELPHIA Record.

New York Cor Philadelphia Record.
l know OF young man who has a
tenor voice that. ii it is heard in pub.
lie in NV York, will set the people
wild with deliIht. Some managers have
heard this young man, and have made
him offers OF n contract for as long as
he will sign it for $3.50 a week; but
this young man has refused the offers,
and is singing in church and at an oc-
casiOnal concert. Knowing how scarce
tenOrs are, and knowing what an ex-
ceptionally fine voice he has-there is
no one of the Italian opera who is at
all 10 be compared to him-I could but
wonder why he was not singing in
some of the light opera companies, and
took the pains to ask those who
knew him what the reason was.
The answer was soon given. The
managers wanted him, would take him
in Il minute if they could get him, but
this young man is engaged to be mar
ricd to a young woman, and this young
woman made him promise that he
would not 30 on the operate stage.
She would rather they would live on
$50 or $50 a week earned off the stage,
than to live on $3.50 or $500 earned
on the stage.
Wise young woman, / said to my
self; although you are not OF the stage
you know its effects upon the average
young man. You know if your fiance,
with his beautiful voice and his fresh
young face, should appear before the
footlights he would be subjected to
temptations that it would take pret'
ty strong man TO hold out against
and you prefer that he should not be
in temptations way. Not only are
the temptations at every hand, but
there seems 70 be something in the at
mosphere OF the stage that takes al
the moral resistance out OF a mans
character and makes him an easy vic
tim to his surroundings.

How to Manage Him.

Most men like to have their own
way, and my husband is one of them.
Now, he would really be domestic
tyrant if he had chance, and should
be most unhappy wife. But | take
care that he doesn't have a chance.
So long as | am aware of the fact that
he always ''goes by contraries," |
would be very foolish indeed to tell
him what actually want OF him. For
instance, when want to accept OF an
invitation which ] know he would re-
fuse remark with indifference: "Those
folks have invited us again, don't you
think. and you won't want to go; OF
course, they will have an elegant sup

and we shall enjoy the evening much
better Mt home Then ne says very

been terribly extrava9ant aud bought
a new velveteen, and | am sure she
doesn't need one half rs bad as | do,
but can't think OF such an expense
at present; shall just wear my old
dresses as longas they hang on. Then
he flares up and says shan't do any
such thing: he guesses he can afford to
dress me as well as Brown can his wife,
and | must go right down town and
get better dress than hers! Well, 1t

Mary HOwitt's Father and Moth

When my father was employed as q
surveyor in 1895 on the Talbot es-
tate, at Margam, he attended the First
day meeting of Friends at Meath and
met, at tie hospitable table OF Evan
Rees. Ann Wood, a convinced Friend on
avisit to Evans wife Elizabeth. They
saw each other frequently and became
well acquainted. On one occasion at
dinner she suddenly learned his re-
gard for her by the peculiar manner
in which he asked: "Wilt hou take
some nuts. Ann Wood?" She took
them. saying: ''I am fond of nuts"
That is extraordinary" hs replied,
.for so am l." There was in those
parts an AGED ministering Friend of so
sanity a character as to be regarded
in the light OF a prophet. One First
day morning after they he'd both been
present at meeting, this minister drew
her aside and said. "If IfSamuel Botham
make thee an offer OF marriage thou
must by no means refuse him." Ac-
cordinGlv he was before long her ac.
cepted suitor. In the year 1896, on
the sixth day OF the twelfth month,
they took each other for man and

ZEE 10Y OF A GIRL JUST ENGAGED.
F~ou the Utica Observer.

From the Utica Observer.
Tbsre ia tie which binds the hearts
OF youth and love in shining bands;
Wbere'er they meet they recognize
The sacred sign, and So clasp hands.
An blessed is the mystic tie.
MAY neither life nor death destroy.
That thrilling chord which binds our hearts
In the deep fellowship of joy.
But there is deeper subtler sense
or kinship, when amid our fears,
Our doubts, forebOdings, and distress
We meet the eyes which have known tears.
Hearts which have learned, like ours, the
depth
on loss or wrong, nor gained reliei,
We meet on cOnsecratcd ground
With those in fellowship OF griei.
But once or twice, perchanCe, In life,
When, through much thought and many
tears,
We have attained unto the height
From whence all loss and wrong appears
But fleeing pageant of the night;
While Good isstable, God is just;
We find friend who meets us here
In the grand fellowship OF trust.

A Brave Woman Soldier.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the IleVeldUO ram DedleT.
The only lady perhaps who was ever
made orderly sergeant in n regiment
during the war was Miss Theresa kel-
lev, formerly OF Cincinnati, but now a
resident OF Cleveland. That she was
a commander is proved by the fact
that she now has under her direction
q score or more employees in a large
book bindery. She was one OF the
heroic ladies who went to the front
during the rebellion. She could not
shoulder a muSket. but she nursed
wounded and sick soldiers, caught the
last feeble messages gasped out by dy-
ing men to those at home, and v!,hal
made herself 50 substantial an angel
OF mercy that the 5th Ohio regiment
gave her a certificate as orderly SER
eeant. Her work was not finished at
the close OF the war. When those of

London Society.

Following is a picture OF the upper
crust of London society as drawn by
an intelligent foreigner, who is record.
ing some Of his impressions OF English
life in book. published under the
above title. Any one at all familiar
with the subject matter will acknowl-
EDGE the correctness of the likeness.
The |. +. says:
London society is, in sense, stage
struck. 1t takes the same sort OF in
terest in acsociating with the orna-
ments of the stage as boys feel IN max
ing the acquaintance ofballet-dancers.
There is certain prurient p-udish-
ness. a salacious inquisitivenessa about
London society. 1t loves to hover
over. or alight on, the borderland
which separates conventional respect
ability from downright dissoluteness.
There is nothing which 1t so dearly
loves as a soup-con OF naughtlness. !
never see that well known picture OF
two Young ladies peeringinto avolume
which they have taken down from a
shelf in the paternal library-'Forbid-
den Fruit / think it Is called-and
reading in it Things which make them
alternately smile and blush, without
recognizing the pictorial symbol, the
engraved alleLory of London society.
What. to it, Is the mystery of holiness
in comparison with he mystery OF sin!
Who would not sooner contemplate
the lives OF the sinners than the lives
OF the saints? London society is infi
niteIy charitable, because its curiosity
knows no bounds. One of thereasons
why it welcomes actresses is that Ii
surrounds them, rightly or wrongly
with a halo Of antecedents and envi
ronment which leave much to the Inn

The Midnight Charge at Charlottesville.

10 THE EDITOR: Many contradictory state
ments having been made relative to the mid
night charge of Wards Brigade at Chancelors-
vile, none of which can be called correct
notably that of your correspondent Carrie
ton,"-I desire TO add still another from my
recOlectons Of that event, which l think will
be substantiated by all my comrades as to its
accuracy. The brigade consisted of the 3Sth
and 40th \. Y, 3D. and 18th Me, Goth Ind, and
99th Pa, and at the time Of Jackson's assault
on the Eleventh Corps was located at old
mill, called the Furnace, in support of Berdam's
ShaTpshOoters, who had just captured and sent
TO the rear the 18th Ga. As soon as the sound
of the conflict reached our ears we were halted
and faced about, leaving the sharpshO0ters as
sklrlnlshers, and new line thrown out i'll
front, and in this formation advanced towards
our batteries which we had left III our rear in
the morning. One thing, however, seemed
strange TO us as we approached, and that
was that our batteries were reversed and APP
parenty firing upon own line. 1t now
being dark, and all Of us being weary and
hungry, we lay down in columns of division to
catch little necdful rest. 1t seemed almost
impossible 10 obtain it, as there was a continual
cracking ali around us; nevertheless, nature
asserted her sway, and one by one the boys
dropped of. and soon the whole line of battle
was asleeI. This state of affairs did not last
long before was awakened by the clanlling
Of a saber and a voice inquiring for Col. Egan.
/ eagerly listened, and soon heard the order,
" Colonel, get your regiment i'm line; have them
take the caps from their pieces and not fire
shot or take a prisoner, but rely wholly on the
bayonet." This assuredly was not very pleas
ant information TO catch, after being suddenly
awakened from a dream of home but we had
no time to moralizc. We were at once ordered
into line, and deployed and advanced nearly to
the woods. where We were halted, and two men
from each company were sent forward as Skin
mishers. Next came the order BY conpan-
les, right wheel" and in that formation
silently followed the skirmish line. In a few
moments we were advanced up road in the
woods, which was the condensation of gloom,
yet was occasionally relieved by glimpse Of
the rising moon 1t is impossible to give de-
scrpti0n of this weird-like scene, which
inspired every man with awe, and would
doubtless have been drawback 10 the advance
had not Gen. Sickles rode along the line and
in cheering tones remarked Steady, boys,
steady Old Dan is with youl !" After ad-
vancing some distance up the road, to our great
surprise we came suddenly upon the Johnnies,
we having by some means got ahead Of our
skirmshers,-who received us with a terrible
fire before we realized our position and drove
us out of the woods helterskclter However,
We at once reformed and again moved forward,

The aiu Michigan Mt Gettysburg.

To THE EDITOR: There appears in your
paper of the 18th a commun ication from j. A.
Wright Sergeant, Co. +, list Mimi, in which
he claims that the losses of that regiment at
Gettysburg probably exceeded those Of any
other regiment engaged in that memorable
battle, and the Sergeant wishes to hear through
the columns of THE TRIBUNE what anybody
else has 10 say this subject. This claim of
the 1st MINI. / have heard before, and | have
taken some steps, without much result, TO
ascertain just what the losses Of that regiment
were at Gettysburg. will present the case of
the 9th Mich, with figures and will ask any
one who asserts that the losses of the 1st MINI.
exceeded the losses Of the Michigan regiment
TO give the figures and the official source from
which they are taken.
The 9th Mimi. went into battle on the 1st
of July, 1868 496 strong, officers and men. This
number was made up Of three field officers one
staff officer, II company officers, and l6S non
commissioned officers and privates. II lost in
killed eight company officers, I22 non-cOmmis-
stoned officers and 40 privatcs; total, i79. In
wounded it lost three field officers, one staff
officer 10 company officers, Al non commits
stoned officers, and 162 privates; total, 237.
Grand total of killed and wounded $40, out of
1876, or nearly 10 per cent
The question now at issue is, Did or did not
the LIST Mimi. lose more men at Gettysburg
than the 9th Mich? The facts in relation
to the latter regiment may be found i'll the
War Department. and in a large volume pub
lished by authority Of the State of Michigan,
entitled Michigan in the War" In any reply
to this paper l will thank the writer to give
the official volumes in which may be found
the facts III relation to the lst Mimi. at Gcttys

understood that there is no intention whatever
in this paper to in any way detract from the

water TO rise in the compartment; then the cry
would be, For Gods sake hurry boys, the
water is rising" And that useless labor was
continued night and day till March 3 when
the steamer reached Port Royal and anchored
at Hilton Head.
The next day the Mississippi was taken to
Seabrook Landing, about five miles from Hilton
Head. The troops were disembarked, the stores
unloaded, and the steamer repaired sufficiently
10 risk finishing the voyage. March 13, the
stores having been reloaded on the Mississippi,
the 3lst Mass re-embarked, the battalion OF
the 18th Ne. taking the steamer Matanzas, and
a new start was made for Ship Island. Before
leaving the harbor, however, the Mississippi
ran aground again on a bank of oyster shells.
After taking off the troops, the steamer was
pulled of by tugs, the troops put on board
again, and the Captain being removed and a
new one apponted) she at last left the harbor.
After this nothing occurred worthy of special
mention and both steamers in due time reached
ship Island in safety.-E. b. LUFKIN, Co. L,
