fore the war. Oh, the contrast between
two days divided ly only Il single night!
The day before terror and gloom pre-
vailed and to-day the house filled with
JOY and gladncsS. We had little or
nothing to give them to eat, all having
been taken from us the day before and
tho garden tr0mpled by the troops.
While rations that had been sent from
the camp were being prepared we gath
cred around the piano to entertain our
guests with music and to deliver to
General j. T.. B. Stuart somo music that
had been i'll our keeping for several
months, sent to him by an admiring
friend i'll Baltimore. "Soldicr Boy
Nineteen Years Old" and "Bcnny Ha-
vcns, Oh" were sung with hearty good
will Impromptu verses to tho latter
air were composed by nearly all present.
General Stuart's contribution, written
ON the back of piece of music, was the
following:
STUARr'S NrrEoMrTU.
To the bonnie lass, Miss Lottic,
Our adoration's due,
She sOothcs our hearts in times of woe
With music soft and true
May she rule her beau of nineteen,
who, though he VanQUiSh men, | wcCn
Her own command must fear.
To our jolly friend, Fitz Lee,
n health before we go,
He has heart all full of glcc,
A strong arm for the foe.
May his triumphs long continue
And Miss Lottic always know
The number Of his regiment
And smiles on him bcStow.
Later in the day Baltimore American
was gotten hold Of by some means and
the portico rang with mcrrimcnt as the
account of the battle from Federal
point of view was read out, and its in
accuracy wondered at and commented
on by all. | heard General Lee say:
"Well, have not been III hotter place
since the war began than that fight was
at one time ycstcrday.' 1t was indeed
a hard fought fight, though it has had
but small mention III the "Annals OF the
War" 1t WAS here that Colonel Dcnkc,
OF the First Virginia Cavalry GormcrIy
Stumt's), was killed. When we con-
graduated Colonel Morgan on his pro
motion, he said, fcclingly: "Not yet!
not yet! too lately have | paid my last
tribute to poor Dcakc."
But this was no abiding place for
either army. When the Fcdcrals were
driven across the river the CUnfcdclutcs
retired beyond the railroad, and SO it
was with us until peace settled down
over the whole land, and the war became
rs 1t now is, a thing of the memory only.

a FIGHT TO BE REMEMBERED.

All that evening the battle ragged, The
fcdcral wounded were brought from the
hcld and laid upon the lawn before and
under the protection of the house until
they could be taken away, some few in
ambulanccs, others on horses or ON
strctchcrs. shall never forget the SIGHT
OF white horse, his whole forcuuartcl
stained with the lilc-blOod Of him who
was lying dead across his back. The
hnng never ceased until late in the
night. Our house was kept closed and
perfectly dark. The troops had no time
to tarry and heard them, as they passed
to and from the spring, wonder where
the women Of the house were. All night
we waited IN the darkness, each with a
candle, few matches and q piece of
chocolate in our pockets. These had
been kept for time of need and we
thought that time had come. 1t was
truly night of horrors. BY two or
three o'clock all the ECdcrals had gone
and we heard the smooth cantcr Of the
Southern horScman take the place Of tho
sharp ring of the stccl-8hod horses Of the
Northern cavalry. Daylight found me

The Foxes and the HnTcs.

A fox who was passing through tho
forest one day heard great dispute
among the hares, and he turned aside tc
lind several Of them engaged in hard
knocks around burrow.
'What's all this row about?" demand
ed Rcynard, as he fell among them.
"Why, sir, replied one Of the harcs,
our father is dead, and we can't agree af
to who shall possess his burrow."
"But it's large enough for all of you. ;
$50 it is; but that settles a question
of fact instead of principle"
"Wcll, Pll take fact and you can keen

possession of the DurrOw.

Qrom the Philadelphia Timos.)
1t was in July, 1868, q time of SO
much interest to all Virginians, when
the tide Of battle cbbcd anu flowed
like an angry flood over onr love-
~ valley, leaving desolation and sor-
row in its path. Our home, known as
Fountain Rock, was about one milo from
the Potomac River, directly on the turn
pike between Shephcrdstown and Kcar-
neyvllle, point on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad.
july 10 was an unusually quiet day.
No Federal soldiers were to be seen rid
ing over the co0ntry. Consequently our
1cars were aroused knowing, as We did,
from experience that calm always camc
before storm. The next morning we
1ound that our fears were not ground
less, for large force under General
Gregg had crossed the Potomac and
some were encampcd on the turnpike
and some on the road leading to Mar
tinsburg.

work of a Cake of Ice.

ST. LOUIS, NO., Feb. lathe gorge in
the rivers here still holds fast, although
the water continues to rise. The mercury
sank below freezing last night, whie tight
ened the ice some, but the <eInp nature
moderated again to-day and breakup is
expected at any moment About
o'clock this afternoon large cake of ice
broke loose on the east side of the river and
went from that side to the Missouri shore.
1t struck the steamer City of Vicksburg,
lying at the foot of Chestnut street, and
knocked hole in her side, but her pumps
have kept her afiOat and efforts are being
made to stop tue leak. Passing down the
ice struck Boat No. 4. of the Mississippi Val
ley Transportation company and sank her.
Ii also pushed the little steamer Gen.
Meade twentysfeet up the river bank and
showed two boats of 4. j. Baker and two
coal fats out on the shore, but they can
probably be got into the water again. The
large wharf boat Of the Mississippi Valley
Transportation company, which was stove
yesterday, sunk to-day and two steam fire
engines were sent down TO pump her out if
possible. They are now at work on her.
The condition of things in the harbor is
quite critical, aud considerable apprehension
IS felt among steamboat owners that a good
deal OF damage will be done when the
gorge gives way and the ice commences to
move. All steamers and other crafts have
steam up ready to take any possible adj
vantage that appears when the gorge lets
go and all other property in the harbor is
being carefully watched.

An Ice Gorge Breaks.

PORT DEPOSIT. Md, Feb. 12.-About
4:30 o'clock this afternoon, the ice in the
Susquehanna river just north of this place
broke and came down with rush. The
ice and water quickly rose over the tracks
of the Columbia d Port Deposit railroad,
and swept through the town, food
ing the streets TO a depth of three
or four feet. The inhabitants were COM
PEELED to move promptly, leaving their
houses and goods to the mercy of the floods
Subsequently the water found vent and re-
coded, but left the streets bloekaded with
immense quantities of ice. The river is
higher than for years. and for more than a
mile the railroad tracks are covered with
water and ice, which is rushing down the
grade with tremendous force. 1t is impos-
sible TO estimate the loss, but the heavy
rain that is falling tonight makes the stu
alton more serious than for any time this
winter, as general breaking up of the ice
gorge is feared.

From an Exchange
Nothing is secret.
A good laugh is sunshine in house.
would rather win honor than honors.
Life without laughing is dreary blank.
/ would rather have genius than wealth.
A hero, whether he wins or loses, is a
hero.
You get the truth habitually from equals

peer of the realm.
Countless knights were slain before st.
George won the battle. In the battle of life
we are all going to try for the honors of
championship.
Novels are sweets. All people with
healthy literary appetites love them-al-
most all women. vast number of clever.

Lucky he who has been educated to bear
his fate. whatsoever it may be, an early ex-
ample of uprightneSs, and childish train
