Expressing His Feelings.

A man whose matrimonial life had been
anything but happy in consequence of the
quarrelsome habits of his wife, who thus con-
trived to keep him constantly in hot water
with the neighbors, was at last relieved Of
her company by death. As the widower's
means were limited, the funeral was plain,
but respectable enough to satisfy any reason
able relative. The brother of the deceased
lady, however, was not a reasonable man /;
and on the return of the mourners to the
house he ridiculed the funeral, said that it
was mean, undemonstrative, and SO quiet
that all the neighbors must have considered
it niggardly.
eyes, it was rather quiet, responded
the widower; ''but what did you expect ?
Did you want me to show my submission
to the decree of Providence in removing
my late lamented spouse by closing the
funeral with display of fireworks l
did think of cheerful display of some sort,
but abandoned the idea because | feared
the neighbors might talk about it, and say
that 1 was giving too much expression to
my feelings

Can foeman dare to rise
From within thy wide domain?
Yet misguided fevor brought
Clash of arms and deadly strife;
And the nations life was bought
With the price ofhuman life
Let the mental vision view
Scenes again of long ago;
Let the bugle notes anew
Seem with stirring sound to blow.
Years in cycles pass around,
And in song and history
Gettysburg, its battle-ground
Bver will remembered be.
Like storm-cloud, darkly hung
On the piniohs of the night,
So the war CLOUD, lowered long,
Flashed its lightnings on the sight:
As converging currents tend
Where the cyclones wings alight,
So the tempest came to rend
Pennsylvania with its might.
