RISING. FROM THE GRAVE.

0tO!!SA5 EA/tYi=t lS1k1Ft y E-.s
An Int i..ent yHhici. Relieved. the Ain.,ot-
ony os Camp Life.
When I was in the army during the
winter Of 1862 we were camped at tf1t
upper end of Metairie ridge. some few
miles back of CsrroIiton, La, and sonle
seven or eight from New Orleans.
Toward Lake Pontchartrain there was
an almost impossible cypress swamp
and on the river side wet sloughs. The
ridge. was from quarter to half
a mile in width and thickly settled.
For what purpose we had been camped
there we never knew, unless to try our
constitutions i'll the very hot-bed of
nlalarial production. The men were
giving way very fast, so that it was
impossible to make out a picket detail
without taking men OH the sick list.
Just where our regiment was camped
the ridge was divided BY bayou, and
back of us, across this bayou, was
camped probably thousand contra
bands. The blacks were suffering
from fevers and other sickness and
dying off very FAST although they were
thoroughly accii!nated under ordinary
circumstances. Our picket line was sta
toned just back Of the contraband
camp in the edge Of the swamp. but
what was expected to come through
this morass, except alligators and
other indigenous animals, is more than
we ever found out. Near the post oc-
cupying the northwest corner the con-
trabands buried their dead with all the
solenlnlty and superstition Of the
African nature. From comrades who
had been stationed Oh this post we had
been told of strange occurrences that,
in spite OF the solemnity such things
usually inspire, would convulse us
with laughter
One day after he was relieved, Joe
C. S. told lis OF All incident that
often recurs to me. The ground, as
every one knows, on the Mississippi
bottoms of Louisiana, is very low, and
at any time in g hole dug the water
will come very near the surface. 1t
was so with the graves dug ny the con-
trabands; they would Immediately fill
with water to within a few inches OF
the top, which made it necessary to
put weights on the dead bodies in
ortlcr to sink them SO they could be
covered. There Was no such thing to
l,e had as collins, and tie burials were
made in blankets.
just before night Joe saw q contra
band funeral approaching his post aud
through curiosity stopped to watch the
proceedings. The corpse was laid jn
the grave and as il would not sink
heayy sods taken from the surface
Were pl;,ced on both head and feet
While the body was slowly sinking the
venerable whitc-ha;red preacher WAS
exhorting the attendants and COM
mjtting the body. "Dlst to dust. :"
just as they commenced throwing in
dirt. up darted the dead body, head
first, half way out of the grave, and
the last one OF them ran away yelling
Joe burst out laughing, ss he saw chat
the weight that had been placed on
the head of the body had slipped off
and, Of course, the buoyancy Of the
water quickly forced !he corpse into
an upright position.
1t was some time before the negroes
could be influenced to return and
complete their burial They believed
there was something supernatural
about it, and no amount Of talking
could convince them to the contrary.

Pet Chickens.

Stella and Laura had some little
white bantams, which were very tame,
and of which they were very fond.
There were two OF them-a rooster
and hen. Neither was larger than
good-sized pigeons.
The rooster put on far more airs,
and held his head higher, than the
great Cochin-China in the barn-yard,
and he always managed to be ahead of
the latter in getting off the first crow
in the morning. In the winter the
children were fond of coasting, and
they seldom thought of starting out
without Tip and ''Ty," as they had
curiously named their feathered
friends.
These chickens really seemed to like
to ride. The little girls would get on
the big sled, each holding her pet, and
off they would start. Sometimes the
sled would be sent down, carrying the
chickens alone. Tip" would gener-
ally keep his balance, but his mate
| always. became frightened and jumped
off when about halfway down.
The children kept these chickens for
| over three years. One night weasel
| got into the hen-house and killed them
Some time after this, Stella found a
little chicken with its leg badly broken
She carried it to Adam, the gardner.
The leg was so badly crushed that it
could never be of any use, and Adam
cut it off. Then he carefully
bound up the stump. After a
while it healed, and he made as
well as he could wooden leg,
which he bound on to the stump. The
chicken thrived, and seemed to take
kindly to its wooden leg.
Sometimes it forgot and tried to
scratch with it, but it would not work.
1t had peculiar walk-a sort of
hop, from which the children chris
tened it "Hoppy." At night they put
it up in a box made on purpose for it,
fastened up inside of the hen-house.
Hoppy lived to good old age, but
never did any thing remarkable.

Sheep, remarks the Nea0 England
Farmer, should never be allowed tc
pasture on land which has been top
dressed with manure, or to Craze on
land which is liable to be overlooked or
which contains stagnant pools, on ac-
count of the danger of the sheep be-
coming infested with parasitical life.

and fry in butter; add "a tablespoonful
of flour and quart of water, with three

in the oven, and throw them in the
soup.
Hot alum water is the best insect
destroyer known. Put the alum in hot
water and let it boil till it is all dis.

found. Ants, bedbugs, cockroaches
and creeping things are killed by it.

The best egg-producing food for
summer is wheat and oats with milk
and bran mash. For winter, wheat,
boiled potatoes, mixed warm milk and
bran for morning feed; at night, corn
and oats mixed. Fresh meat and table
refuse are also essential, as are pulver-
lied bones, lime and oyster shells.
Vegetables and fruits are also fed with
profit, and great care must be taken
that they have plenty of pure fresh
water.-Prairie Farmer.

she finally concluded to go in search
of Robin. Giving them many injunc-
tions she flew away to the swamp,
Here and there she circled, flying low
to the ground, among the bushes, up
| in the tree branches, everywhere she
| thought he might be, chirping to him,
calling him, her little heart filled with
a thousand fears. Perched on q low
bush she was wondering where to go
next when ping! through the air came
a stone, then another, and another,
until, bruised and bewildered, she
started to fly to a tree, where she
thought she would be out of danger.
But oh, dear! just as she rose from the
bush shower of stones fell around
her, one heavier than the rest striking
her full on the head. She fell back
among the bushes lifeless, not many
| yards from where the same cruel bows
had thrown her mate

drops pattering on the leaves answered
them.
"Cheep! cheep! cheepr' they were
so cold, so hungry, so frightened.
"Cheep! cheep! cheep!" the nest

''Ch-e-e-p! ch-e-e-p!' His voice was
getting more feeble, for he was chilled
by the rain and the cold bodies of his
dead brothers.
"Ch-e-e-p! ch-e-e-pt ch-e-e-pr'

dead little birds lying there, while
down in the swamp, on the wet grass,
lay the bodies of Robin and his mate.
