A Memory.
MAY, 1864.

But ah, how mournful was that strain,
That low, sad song in dreaming cars!
1t rose and fell, and rose again,
And died as if in sobs and tears.
Then brayed the trumpets, clashed the drums;
"Fall in" Upsprang we all as one;
Bullets like bees began to hum,
And warm red blood like wine to run!
On which side fought we, shall say?
(We fought so hard, with hearts so trueO
We may have worn the stainless Gray,
Or loyalty the precious Blue.
Some fell, some lived, and all were brave,
For all had heard love sing that morn!
Oh, woman, weeping by grave!
Oh, golden dream to tatters torn!
The morning stars were growing pale,
But still we slept, as soldiers sleep
Who know not fear, deep in the vale
Between the mountains dark and steep.
quiet brooded DER the camp,
And not cloud was in the sky,
With soothing dew our brows were damp,
A sweet breeze famed us tenderly.
1t may have been mocking- Bird
Low triling to the dawning day,
But every veteran dreamed he heard
His love sing as he sleeping lay.
Some loves were wives, and madens some,
And some were mothers sweet and fair,
And some were children left at home
Without a mothers tender care.
What without love is victory worth?
What is defeat if love be won?
Hearts of the South, hearts of the North,
Throb louder than the drum or gun,

what his father had taken. Once he |
had almost completed the sum re-
quired, when bad luck forced it's ut
ter loss, but he had not failed to
pluck up courage anew, and cent by
cent, dollar by dollar, he began a
new accumulation, and now he had
come to New York finally to wipe
out the s'debt' principal and inter-
est. For some years past he had
been a railway engineer on western
road. A few months ago a bit of
bravery-a mere nothing, so he aver
red-won him the gratitude of pass
engers on his express train, who, but
for the risk he took upon himself,
might all have been killed; their ap-
probation had been shown by a we'll
filled purse of money, and later with
handsome watch with an inscription
testifying 70 his bravery and devo-
ton. He had come East bringing
the contents of that purse, his own
savings, and that watch, to give
them all to Mr.. Sage, asking only
that the watch be held little while
till further savings should be accumu-
lated to buy it back. The debt was
paid now in full. If mothers who
are dead can still know of the good
that their children do, there was ex-
ultation in one angels heart that
day, as the two men, soulless million
aire and fatherless engineer, sat and
talked by the window where the early
falling shadows veiled quickly the
harsh, begrimed stones of old Trini-
tvs churchyard just beneath.

was a tremor in the voice of the man
whom lhe world had learned to call

ish in the handclasp that he gave the
rongher hand of the visitor and
then with an air that had resolution

THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD
MANNERS.

Edward Everett, who commanded
so much respect in England, not only
for his learning and talents, but for
the elegance of his manners, was
once asked by an American, how he
had so mastered the detail of Europ-
can etiquette. His answer was a
significant one:
Il have never considered any sub
ject which other people respect as
unworthy of intense observation. |
pride myself on the manner even in
which tie up a brown paper parcel.
study the etiquette of every coun-
try"
Our republicanism will become
more genuine when 1t realizes that a
proper attention to etiquette is al
once elegant, simple, proper and dig
niied, and that it should extend over
our country from the EXTREMIST linn
its of civilization to the great cities
and the little villages. 1t need not
be the observance of old world cere-
MONIES, although we should learn
visit monarch on his own ground !;
but it should be that becoming court
esy, which will at home and abroad
ornament and improve society
which has already so much to COM
mend it and which may have the most
splendid future.
The best American girl is interest
ed everywhere in the best way of do
ing everything. A girl with self
respect is always willing to learn.
The truly well-bred girls in America,
with charming manners expressive
of good heart, careful education,
and a proper desire to please-and
their name is legion-should not be
injured even in that large general
classification "American" by the bad
manners of few; yet they have to
suffer for the ILL bred. American
girls have no excuse for not being
the best-bred girls in the world, for
they are remarkably clever. We must
permit ourselves the national vanity
of claiming that the native purity,
quick intelligence, apprehension of
the necessities of new position, and
in some instances the intuitions of
elegance, are, in our young country
women, quite miraculous, as con-
trasted with the slower mind of the
German, for instance.
The wife of an American Minister
at Berlin had occasion TO notice this
difference. GA young German count

will be introduced at court with all
honors. She will be awkward, en-
barrassed for the whole winter. A
young American girl will be intro
duced fresh from some western city,
or some New England town, and she
will be at her ease and mistress of
etiquette in a month. She will charm
everybody by her wit, her repartee,
and her cleverness."

the Bates Farm. AS will be seen by the following
statement of pedigree, he is full of Ethan Allen and
Abdallah blood, his sire, Daniel Lambert, being the
best son Of old Ethan Allen, out of Fanny Cook, by
Abdallah, (sre of Rysdyks Hambletonian,) while
his dam, Clara, is daughter of Ethan, out of the DR.
Dixon mare, also by Abdaah. 1t is therefore not
to be wondered at that he looks and acts like
Daniel Lambert than any other his offspring. HIS
color nice chestnut, he stands Is hands and
weighs 1000 lbs, with the most beautiful style,
ton and disposition imaginable. His record of
2.2S2 was made Nov. l. 1888, after brief prepara-
tion and an unfavorable day. He has shown full
mile trials in 2.23s, and quarters in "a seconds.
The superiority of the Lambert stock is too well
known to require elaborate explanation. Daniel
Lambert is the first of living sires, judged by
the true test, the 2.30 list, and his sons are
showing remarkable prepotency. Golden as a
stock horse will in due tins add to his sires fame.

in life, and few mourn their death,
which is always premature. One
thrust aside the cup of life in the
midst of her work, and when the
neighbor women were dressing the
white form for the grave they spoke
of her good qualities as housekeep-
er, her unceasing work and unweary-
ing care for her family, and the long
months of suffering, through which
she had never faltered, never called
for assistance, but still daily per-
formed the same routine of labor as
when in good health. Such instances
are not infrequent, and the death
that comes from overwork is linger-
ing and cruel death. There are few
women who know how to rest. One
will work on till she is ready to faint
and can work no longer, and sit or
lie down, and still keep thinking over
and over the many turns that must
be done as soon as she can possibly
gather courage to 60 forward, and
when she does arise and resume her
toll, she wonders why she has not
rested IN the heart, and thinks sswill

you ever have overworked yourself

lli manv ways. Ii manufacturers of
farm implements combine to exact
unreasonable prices for their macliin-
sry, turner's. il organized, can COM

price. The farmers can much better
afford to wait year or two than the
manufacturers can. This is often the
case, especially with new inventions,
which are sometimes put on the mar
let at several times their actual value.
