COurtesies on the Picket.Line.

1t was while we were in front of
Chattanooga that it became fashionable
along the picket-line to exchange pa
pers. The plan was for a confederate
who wanted paper to come to the
front, shake southern paper as a flag
of truce and in this way invite exchange.
The pickets on either side in that i'm
mediate vicinity would cease firing, the
Union soldier would start from his line
and the confederate from his line, and
they would meet half way, shake hands,
exchange papers, and, if there were no
officers in sight, sit down and have a
chat. This had been kept up for sew
eral days when there came an order
from headquarters that no more papers
should be exchanged. But the boys,
choosing their time for exchange. CON
tinued it against orders. There came
week, however, in which no rebel re-
sponded to waving, or shaking, or flut-
terings of paper or handkerchief. and
we knew then that orders against ex-
change had been issued on that side as
well as on ours. But one morning.
quite early, my partner discovered
man on the rebel line franticallv wav-
ing large paper He suggested that
we slip away from the reserve and 90
out and see what the man wanted. He
took paper, waved it, and we started
toward the rebel in front. When we
had proceeded about half way to the
point of meeting, the fellow ceased to
wave his paper. We were puzzled at
this, but finally concluded he was down
in hollow and we would see him when
he came up on high ground. So we
walked on and walked without warning
into group of soldiers at the rebel
picket-post. The men were just ready
to take breakfast, and after the first
furry they joked us good deal about
our extraordinary willingness to get
into their clutches at breakfast time.
When we spoke of the exchange of pa
pers, the officer in charge informed us
that orders were positive against ex-
change, and that all his men understood
it. AS this was the case he took the
position that we had come willingly
into their lines, and that he could not
allow us to return. / saw at once that
his men disagreed with him, but the
question was how we were to get away.
My partner, who had been soldier in
Germany, exhibited the greatest nom
chalance, and he joined in the jokes at
our expense and proposed that we make
the boys some coffee that was coffee.
The confederates had very poor ex-
cuse for that article, and without more
ado he proceeded to make little kettle
of coffee, the aroma of which seemed to
fascinate the coffee-hungry sharpshoot-
ers. When he had poured the coffee
into the cups and had expatiated on the
good it would do the men, he took up
his rifle and said to me, " Now let us
start for our line" l followed him,
and not rebel soldier ON that picket
post lowered the cup of coffee from his
lips or looked in our direction. Inever
disobeyed orders after that.

After Twenty Years.

Grim fellows they were. And how they
played with death. How they lay in the
corn-rows and laughed when the shell
and grape-shot screamed and whistled
overhead. How they slept under the
big guns and dreamed of home, when
across the ridge the angel of darkness
was spreading his awful wings. How
they caroused and told tales and thought
no more of the morrow than the night
winds that blew across the prairies
Over yonder woodpecker made music
with its drumming on hollow tree.
Down in the corn-felds was death in
more shapes than Lucifer summoned
from his imagination after the fall
The moon looked at them after the bat.
tie was over. Mangled, crushed, bleed.
ing to death-there they lay, a smile OF
triumph ON their calm, placid features,
and the heavy dews settling in great
drops into seals of mortality. Sculpture?
Yes, in the deep trenches, that ran
through field and farrow, they were
buried. Perhaps there was a ghost of a
prayer, but afterward nobody remem-
bered it. Maybe some friend thought
to write to widows and orphaned chill
dren, giving the last message of love
and pity; but oftener it was forgotten.
There was harvest of dead men all
over the fertile plains, by the winding
rivers and on the mountains. Death
was in the air, and sea, and sky But
yet those grim soldiers laughed and
cried, told tales and dreamed happy
dreams, as if war were picnic and
death but a boon companion. They
fell into nameless graves like unnum-
bered cattle, but the rank and file went
on with fresh songs and fresh laughter.
Was ever such war since the world
began? A few roses, more or less,
Here and there garland of flowers.
Over on that grave bunch of mignon-
cite, and on this one wreath of i'm
mortelles. How the big tears would
have rolled down their sun-browned
cheeks if they could have knownl
How they would have shouted, till the
giant hills echoed back their cries,
if they could have foreseen they
were to be thus loved and mourned |!
There is no sectionalism where sleep
the soldiers. There can be no malice
where those who persisted at the can
mons mouth rest amid the dreamless
slumber of soldiers grave. They had
their faults, maybe, but God knows
how bravely they died and what they
died for. Roses may not reach them
now, but the perfume of the flowers
may drift heavenward till the smoke
of fratricidal strife shall be pushed
aside by the sweetest incense of earth,
and the blue sky of universal peace
shall hang in beauty DER the world
The dead soldiers are but pensioners ON
our hottest remembrance. No matter
where they fell, nor what flag they car
ried, nor what uniform they wore. Re-
member them in the simple offerings of
flowers, and prayers, and happy tears
And by-and-by, when the great roll

The first thing that caught his eye on
entering his counting-room was pile
of ship letters. There had been an
arrival from Valparaiso. He broke the
seal of the first one with eagerness.
Thank God'' was his almost imme-
date exclamation. 1t was from one of
his captains, and contained drafts for
fifteen thousand dollars. 1t also in
formed him that the ship "Sarah, Z"
commanded by said captain, would sail
for home in week, with return cargo
of hides and spices amounting to thirty
thousand dollars. The voyage had been
profitable beyond expectation.
Elder had just finished reading the
letter when Carlton came in. Selling
the kind-hearted merchant by the hand,
he said, with emotion:
Carlton, you have saved me! All!
sir, this would have been far happier
moment if, seven years ago, when you
were in trouble, l had as generously
aided you"
Let the past sleep in peace" re-
turned Mr.. Carlton. " If fortune has
smiled again permit me to rejoice with
you, as do with all who are blessed
with favoring gales. To meet with
difficulties is of use to us. 1t gives us
the power of sympathy with others, and
that gift we should all desire, for it is
good thing to lift the burden from
shoulders bent down with too heavy a
weight, and throw sunshine over a
heart shaded by gloom"

condition in the course of few months

The color retired from the cheeks of
Mr.. Elder, and then came back with q
quick flush. He made no answer, but
looked steadily and doubtingly into Mr..
Cartoons face.
81 have been in difficulty myself, and
know how to sympathize with Others"
said the latter. :" We should aid, if we
can, not break down fellow-merchant
when in trouble. Indorse bills to my
order for the sum you want and / will
fill up check for the amount"
Elder turned slowly to his desk and
took therefrom sundry notes of hand in
his favor, at various dates from six to
twelve months, and endorsed them
payable to Carlton, who Immediately
gave him check for eight thousand
dollars and left the store. A clerk was
Immediately dispatched to the bank,
and then Mr.. Elder sank into chair
half stupefied. He could hardly believe
his senses until the cancelled notes
were placed in his hands.
The next morning Mr.. Elder went to
his place of business with feelings but
little less troubled than they had been
on the day before. His payments were
lighter, but his means were for the first
time exhausted. The best he could do
would be to borrow, but he already
owed heavily for borrowed money, and
he was not certain that to 60 farther
was practicable. He thought of Mr..
Carlton, but every feeling of his heart
forbade him to seek further aid from
him.
81 deserve no consideration there
and / cannot ask it." he murmured, as
he pursued his way toward his store.

HlGH FARMING.

II American farmers do not speedily
get rid of Improbable methods the news-
papers will not be to blame, for a great
deal of sound advice on agriculture is
being given nowadays. The most re.
cent good counsel is from the Natchez
Democrat, which says: "It would be
easier for a single mar to f%ertilize an
acre of land than it would be to clear
an acre of forest growth. A single man
can plant green crops and plough them
in with more ease than he can pile and
burn the brush of a heavily wooded acre.
Farmers ought to be able to see the
wisdom of this, yet thousands of them
are trying to increase the yield of their
unfertilized farms by adding an acre or
two to the area, when the same amount
Of labor and money expended on the
land already cleared would produce very
much larger results. Let the Natche2
Democrat unload some more wisdom of u
similar sort; farmers all over the country
are in great need Of it.

There appears to be no foundation for
the report that Parnell's supporters in
this country are divided in Irish politics.
Last weeks issue of the Boston Pilot,
the leading Irish Democratic paper in
the United States, published an inter.
Wow with Alexander Sullivan, one OF
Blsine's leading supporters. Sullivan
formulates a plan for raising $3.50, 600 at
the January convention OF the Irish Ma.
tional League of America to enable Par
nell to guarantee ninety members FL, 900
each annually for five years. The con-
stituency will do the rest necessary to
compensate the members, this much to
be Americas contribution. Sullivan sug.
gssts that Rev. DR.. O'Reilly, the Ameri-
can Treasurer of the Land League, and
Eugene Kelly, a New York banker, will
be made the trustees of this fund; that
it be held in the United States subject
to Parnell's order, SO that the English
Government can never levy on it. His
plan provides that the Chicago Conven-
tion shall apportion to each State it's
share Of the sum. The League work will
be divided and the responsibility equal.
lied in place of oil being put on the
executive officers, as at present.
Boyle O'Reilly editorially says that
Sullivan's programme will be carried out
and that Irish Americans are one in Irish
Affairs. There appears to be an extraor.
binary activity throughout the country
in raising funds for Parnell. The Sui
livan plan approved by O'Reilly contem.
plates that all funds raised prior to Janu-
airy will be needed to defray the expenses
Of the election of the Parnellites. The
above sum is to be raised subsequently
as q basis of the Members salaries.

It seems to be the general impression
that President Cleveland will accept the
resignation of Marshal McMichael, OF
the District OF Columbia, to take effect
in . few days. There is much anxiety
to learn who will receive the appoint
ment, but so far there have been no in
timations given out as to who will be ap-
pointed. One of the stories in c~ircula-
ton is that a personal friend of the Presi.
dent, who has recently returned from
Europe, will be made Marshal. This ap.
pointmcnt has always been regarded as a
personal one, as the Marshal oficiates at
all the receptions given by the President.
