the air, the sword falling from his lifeless
fingers, There was Hooker himself, striving
to check the flight of the panic-stricken fugi-

defeat
All there were other sounds than the
mournful notes of the viii ,-poor-will with
which the air was laden on those fair May
nights twenty long years ago, The bright
moonlight fell on other forms than those
flocks and herGs now resting in the shadow
of the trees. Then field and forest resounded
with the shrieks of mortal agony and the
moon saw thousands of Gods creatures,
made by His own hand, in His own image,

told me a story of darby going over the

Mr. Stanton, like many another American
found Europe too interesting to leave, only
for short visits to this country. He has

Travelled much in England, France Germany

French lady and has lived in Paris five
years, spending part Of every summer in

As Q o'clock drew near the family retired
to their apartments, but remained on the
piazza alone till far into the morning The
night was clear and beautiful, the moon
shone as brightly as on that terrible night in
NAV, '63, when she looked down on that scene
of horror. Not sound to break the stiffness
except the occasional boot of an owl in the
forest back of the house and the mournful
voices of the whip-poor-wills. | found
myself wondering if they could be
the same that sang their doleful
songs that night twenty years ago over
the stark and manged forms that lay
in the track of Jackson's victorious columns
Then the recollections crowded upon me!
Again | heard the booming of those guns
which, late in the afternoon of the I'd of May,
awakened us so rudely from our fancied
security Again the bugle sounded to call
lis once more to battle. Again we marched
bv the house where stood the old general we
had followed so long-hatless, his white hair
the sport of the breeze. There on the plank
road were the routed columns of the Eleventh
c,Nps-men, horses, guns, all in one mex
tr;cable mass, fleeing to place of safety.

the center of Jackson's line, ordered to check
them at any cost And what a cost Men

the officers the commander alone escaped un

wounds. There on that ridge Pleasanton

Boston, April 26-In the early summer
of 1888 visited again some of the famous
southern batt!efelds At Frederick sburg, Va,
Iprocurd buggy and driver to drive to
Chancelr The driver was a young
fellow of about IS years, grown up since the
war; but seemed to be we'll posted in regard
to the various battles which had been fought
in that section of the country, and gave me
good deal of information.
Our road led up the hill in rear of the town,
by the stone wall and sunken road, which
our men tried in vain so many times to
carry, past the Mayre house, stopping for
few moments at the National cemetery, and
then on to Charlottesville.
The country presents but few natural
features to attract the attention of the tour

Portable and for the most part the farms
seem to be well titled. l learned that many
of them were owned and occupied by north

since the war. My driver informed me that
he could always tell the farm of a northern

We passed through one section of the
country which seemed to me to be a better

bodies of troops, which was not the case at

WHAT WE LACK.

Our houses, b'ing made of glass,
Are very frail, own,
And may tempt many, as they pass,
To stop and hur. a stone
At this and that which most offends
Their eve, as THEY may see,
But, after moralizing some,
This truth comes home to me:
We all are subject INTO Fate,
Be 1t of goo or i'll,
And have no time to give to hate
To any one Ill Will.
Life Is too shor! While we condemn
The things that 9th Ar' do,
We quite forget that we, like them,
Ara very faulty, too.
Our houses, built upon the sand,
Are too unstable ali
For Us to boa t-un ertain, AMI
May any moment ALI;
And in their ruins, honor fame,
May all go down in rack!
1t is forbea ance, charity
And low which most we lack!
Forb 'arance. when an unkind word
Some one shall Idly say,
Cutting, as with a two-edged sword,
To rankle all the day.
And charity to pass deed
We m ght, perhaps, have done;
And low. oh me, how much we need,
This gift from sun to sun
Life is too short for harsh retort.
What''e the word shall say,
If we forgive AMI we forget
1t is the better way.
We have no time to say unkind
And harsh things of each other,
In enemies sometimes we find
friend true as brother.
Life is too short-a day at best
And even in day
We may of all be dispossesseI,
And we, too, gone away;
But, like bread on the waters cast,
Our good deeds will come back.
1t is forbearance, charity
And love which most we lack.
