In the army Of the Cumberland n
little pale-faced fellow had joined the
cavalry, and IL is pretty certain that
the recruiting officer who enlisted him
had TO give him the benefit of a doubt
both as to age and height in order that
he might come up To the require
ments of the regulations.
He was hardly equal to the work of
serving with his regiment, and was
detailed as an orderly" at headqnar-
ters to carry messages, or to hold the
horses OF the staff officers.
AT the battle of Chickamauga, while
he was behaving with great GOODNESS,
he was struck by bullet In the side
OF the neck; the blood spurted in a
manner which indicated that the Jug
ular vein had been cut; he fell from
his horse, and was left on the field for
dead.
Twenty years afterward gentle
manly looking man stepped up to me
In hotel where was staying, and
asked me IL I remembered the little
orderly who was shot at Chickamauga.
said YES, that l recollected the cir
cumstances OF his death very well.
He then turned his head TO one
side, showed me deep grove In his
neck, and went on TO tell me that he
was the person, that a surgeon had
come across him on the Held, had
stopped the bleeding, and succeeded
in having him carried TO hospital,
that his memory had left him for two
years so that he could scarcely recall
his own name, but he then recovered
all his mental powers and became
perfectly well.
/ found he was very successful
business man, and among other en-
terprises was conducting large cat
tie interest in the West. HisIsuddcnly
turning up In the corridors of hotel
so many years after his supposed
death seemed like the entrance Of an
apparition.

Upon the whitened sands OF Time;

To speak forever OF his fame.

As tho an unseen, jealous hand
Had swept his laurels all away.

Unto asmiling, eager throng,
And dreamt her little, feeting song
Would last in memory for aye.

In broken voice and tattered gown

But sought remembrance all in yaiL.

Danced gayly Ger the budding flowers
Nor counted laps of fleeing hours,
Nor envied Fame her title-'queen."

The traffic In birds as articles of
adornment shows no apparent de-
crease. The only thing which steadily
decreases Is the race of birds itself.
The winters of late have been hard,
but the women have been harder.
Where, in country places. yellow-hum--
mers might be seen by the dozen, and
bullhnches and chaiilnches by the
score, they are now In pairs. 1t Is
said that even robins are being pressed
into the service. Formerly supersti-
ton protected them. but gain over
rides superstition. We cannot say
that we have ever yet seen woman
adorned with a robin. We fancy that
such one, even among her own sex,
must be a person Of considerable
courage. But two, or even three,
small birds have been seen this spring
inundated on the altar OF single
woman's thoughtlessnes and vanity
