No More.

There is thrilling pathos in these words. They suggest to the reflec- tive mind a thousand vivid recollee- tions, many of which are brightly H. lumined by the sunshine of happi- ness; while others are heavily fraugnt with regrets most painful, and sadly dimmed by dark clouds of sorrow. At times the mighty past comes rush. ing back upon the mind until it be- comes half bewildered with the re- membrance of what is now no more : and we almost feel that the business of the noiseless ambassador of time is only to scatter wasted flowers upon the grave of bliss. and to erect early monuments to the memory of what once existed to gladden. our hearts during this transitory life. Time rolls on in its ceaseless course, bear ing with it the frail barks of those we love, innocent victims of it's mad ca reer, who are wildly rocked and tossed upon it's raging pillows, like floating wrecks upon the bosom of the mighty ocean. Now and then the grim angel death finds his way into our happy home circle, and ruth lessly sewers the golden cord which throws around us it's magic influence and binds together our hearts of af- lection in sacred ties of love. And "when twilight approaches the sea
 son that is ever sacred to song" we feel our sad hearts throb with grief to know that loving voices will never again swell with joy in our broken choir till we join in that blissful choir of angels in Heaven, where we hope to be reunited and forever sing an- thems of praise to ill the golden courts of that world of light and joy. Often while gazing with admiration on the beauty of the gentle moon and stars, bright gems of heaven s azure sea. we think. and saddea at the thought, that they never again will shed their mellow lights on loved ones, whose enchanting voices joined in the pathetic strains ot Home. Sweet, Home" till we are reunited l in that "house not made with hands. where the weary may find rest.

nary women,' such such numbe r of them! They seemed seemed sat isfied to 'brew and bake and darn, " to nurse their babies, have backaches, smooth their husbands tempers and listen to his grnmblings; some ap- peared to be cheerful even when they were putting them to bed after "bus- mess trips" at "A o'clock in the morning.
 My whole being shuddered at the prospect and opened my eyes. Be- hold, the sky was thick with stars My wishing hour was passed; and so l folded my hands, and lifting my heart to God, 1 said: Father, not my will, but thine be done Only whatever comes to them, dear Lord keep them pure and worthy in thy sight" A great peace fell across my spirit and knew that my wish would reach unto God and be loving ly received by Him.
 So l went up to the quiet nursery to tuck in straying limbs and press my lips once more upon my darlings' faces, and my spirit sang over and over again, 'God knows best. ''-- New Orleans Picayune.

THE CONFEDERATE'S RUSE.
BY JOHN B. TABB.

l was the last of the fortunate few that escaped from Point Lookout prison in the fall of '64.
 The enclosure-known as the Bull Pen-in which the prisoners were kept, consisted of paling about b feet high, with an outside platform not far from the top, where the sen- tinels day and night walked their beat in sight of the prisoners.
 On the eastern side of the camp was the Chesapeake and here, if we kept within musket range, we could bath or fish at any hour of the day privilege greatly appreciated by those who could stand the exertion.
 For some it became daily prac- tice, whenever the weather permitted the sport, to fish in the forenoon and this we did, either standing ir
 
 the water sometimes up to our el' bows or armpits, or sitting on long. legged, crane-like tripods, which tho more ingenious contrived for them selves out of pieces of cyaoker-boNes, Day after day we would venture out in the broiling sunshine and l have since wondered, III thinking of 1t. that no case of sunstroke ever oc. cured.
 Every morning large tubs of gar hage from the cook-house and stops from the hospital-tents were brought to the beach to be emptied; and those who happened to be in bathing at the time had as much as they could do, in returning to the shore, to keep clear of the filth. To one of these vessels of ''ignominy' it was that I owed my escape. It chanced in this way
 had waded out with my fishing clothes on somewhat further than usual. when l saw tub floating up- side down and drifting toward ne. As soon as it was near enough, l watched my chance, and, no one ob- serving me, dived and got under 1t.
 There l was, like Falstaff in the buck basket, with "the rankest com hound of villianous smell that ever offended nostril." For moment l thought l should suffocate; and doubtless such might have been my fate but for a bung-hole in the side of the tub, which l fortunately dis covered, and through which l got enough light and fresh air to supply my necessities. As my head was en- tirely out of the water, l had but to turn my face to this aperture and follow the tide.
 The weather being cool, the bath CTS that morning were comparative lv few; but the beach was lined witt groups of prisoners, and why neither they nor the sentinels saw me, have never yet known.
 Once out of musket range, ] wai safe so long as l managed to keel my footing. My fear was of step ping beyond my depth, and so losing the tub; or else arousing suspicion by going too fast for the tide. | was necessary, therefore, to move with precaution, and so slow was m, progress for the first two miles tha it took me fully an hour or more tc lose sight of the prison. Even thei it was only at intervals that l dared to peep out; and not until noon dit

 You are Reputed to be the Wis est of all Birds. We have come to learn Wisdom from your words. Give us Short Speech.

 The Owl vas still silent.

THE WISH STAR.

'ieeiS WI nv" gleefully they rushed hither and thither, their dainty feet scarcely touching the soft green lawn!
 The ar was deliciously balmy. What can be more lovely and en- ticing than an April evening in the 'sSunny South!" I would close my eyes and enjoy things clairvoyantly, then 1 would open them, and when l had feasted, I would say to myself bien entendue. "Dear Lord, how sweet is this world to live in!" Then I fell into favorite-though not claimed as original-occupation of mine. took to thinking.
 My thoughts went from the beau- ties of the evening to my happy lit- tie girls. 4 mockingbird came and rested for moment in an orange tree near my gallery. He put his pretty head on one side and then burst into song. My children stop'd their play for a moment to listen to him.
 "Mamma,' said my Pansy, ''is he telling us about God and the an gels:'
 Then the delightful visitant flew away.
 Mamma, has he gone to his own little wife, to see his baby blrds?' asked my White Rose.
 Then the children returned to their play and my thoughts came back to me. The sun went away, taking with him his every tiny bright beam. Twilight deepened, my children grew tired and came to rest their heads upon my lap while told them won derful story of the "Fairy of Good Wishes Then each sweet mouth received it's goodnight kiss, and l watched the two little forms go off to bed. Once more I was left to think, but now everything was tinge d with memories of my children-my motherhood was in the ascendent.
 l looked up and saw a star, the first star of the evening, the ''wish star.' Now was my chance. Of course, I would wish for my little daughters. but what would be best to wish. Back I leaned in my chair and closed my eyes. l would wish that they might grow up to be wo- men-but what kind of women! l thought of all the women of my ac- quaintance. Of my fashionable, sue cessful-in-society neighbors they all 1 had husbands, homes and children :; they seemed to be we'll off in this worlds goods. Did l want my heart blossoms to be like them! No, 1 could not feel that did. Society women have their spheres of useful ness; they have their missions and often do their work nobly, purifying the atmosphere about them by the lives they lead, But l was not con tented with that.
 Then l thought of the great con- vention of women that had recently met in Washington. l knew but few of these brave creatures personally, but they lived in my admiration and respect besides I had been looking at them through the eyes of our "Catharine Cole" Did l want my daughters to be like these great lead CTS! l fear l did not. It is very noble to think of
 "Footprints that perhaps another,

"Footprints that perhaps another, Sailing OCT life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrctched brother Seeing shall take heart again."

But I must acknowledge to being selfish where my wee girlies are con cerned. 1 believe that could in the hour of battle arm nay sons and send them forth to fight for ''the right; ;' but with my little women-ah, l would rather shield them from con tact with any and all strife. It is not that I love them, but-but being women, l know just what they are capable of suffering.
 Our glorious Frances Willard is, after all, only a woman, and if she had a daughter of her own feel cer- tain that she would not put her in her own sphere of life.
 Then l thought of all the great actresses, painters and workers of art of all the removed musicians had ever heard of; then of the sing CTS God loves best after His birds, the poetesses-those of long ago-ot our sweet Jean Ingelow, Adelaire Proctor, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Helen II. Jackson--would l have them be either of those?
 Somehow my heart grew heavy with an unsatisied longing and l sighed: No, none of these, poet s spirit is too attuned to Heaven to be content with earth's joys"
