Correspondence of THE LEADER.
WENDoVER, June 4.-The country
around Wendover is rapidly becoming
settled. Several families and a number
of bachelors have been added to the pop
ulation of our district this season, and one
and all seem perfectly satisfied with their
locations.
The early spring gave strong indica-
tons for a very dry summer, but during
last month we had a great number of fine
showers that have caused nature to put on
her best coat, and now everyone is conf
dent that this will be an excellent year for
crops.
Stock trains continue to arrive here
laden with Southern cattle, and the herds
that are unloaded here are generally in
very good condition and the losses by
death during transit are very small.
The Cheyenne & Northern engineers
moved their camp from here to Douglas
June l, and it is understood that they
will now locate lines in that vicinity.
Russell Thorp has sold out his stage
line from Wendover to Douglas to the
Cheyenne & Northern Stage and Express
company.
George Lathrop, for many years identi
fed with Mr.. Thorp's stage lines, hal
started a stage line from Wendover t.

Nobody nowadays ever thinks of putting

Laces, underwear, ribbons, note-paper,

made fragrant by large sachet bags that are

These bags are composed Of silk and

A COWARD's RIsR.

Some of the war veterans were exchans-
ing "reminiscences the other day. One Of
them told this story: When reaching the
army of the Potomac as recruit for
New Y ork regiment, twenty-five years ago,
just before the Charlottesville campaign,
soon heard Of man in my company
whose notoriety for cowardice had made
him the subject of many tests during his
short service in tho camp Plenty of men
are bitten by fear upon going into action,
but this fellow had the rare reputation of
being an incurable poltroon. and the mere
crack OF a rifle had thrown him into dts so
violent that two of his comrades had TO
leave the ranks to keep him in order,
HE was with the regimeNt at Chapcel-
lorsville on the right when We began 10 ex.
change shots with the enemy in that quar-
ter, and be trembled 90 violently that he
could not handle bis ride. A small rebel
cannon that had been pulled on to a knoll
some distance of and that was playing an
independent game apart from the Confed-
crate forces, threw a ball that struck the
ground In front of him and scared him out
of his wits. He became blind with fright,
broke from the ranks, took to hlS heels,
and, not knowing where to fly, ran directly
toward the hostile gun, which was manned
by two old Virginia militiamen in gray, who
had undertaken to render their State some
service The two old Virglnians behind
the ridge suddenly saw the infuriated Yank
rushing upon them, and, believing him TO
be followed by his regiment took to flight,
leaving their cannon behind them. The
poltroon stood aghast for a moment along
side the piece of artillery which he had cap
tured, and almost simultaneously our regi-
ment, by rapid advance aud few shots,
drove back the company OF rebels that had
been lurking, in front. and We held the
ground for the time being.
"But the wonderful deed of our comrade
who seized the enemy's gun had been wit
messed by the mounted general Of our bri-
grade, who happened TO be a relative OF
his, and within torty-eight hours the tel-
low who had been the laughing stock of
the regiment was promoted for gallantry in
the field. Hls subsequent rise was rapid

Like some translucent gem,
While modesty's encircling mantle foil
Fen to her garments hem.
About her feet the grasses whispered low.
As IL in sudden fear
At finding so much dainty loveliness.
Standing to them anear,
Upon the snowy marble of her brow.
Upliited to the sky,
Like mute caresses, the soft, lustrous waves
OF her dark hair did lie.
Her taper fingers tore flower In twain
With their white frosty tips,
While not the shadow of a smile dared touch
The proud curves of her lips.
Could love give to this statue warmth and lifeP

Slain by the lightning Of thine eyes. than live
Without thy lover cry.

And It's woman yields with tender grace

ONE SOLDIERS LOVE.


It was In an ancient country
Far away beyond the sea.
And a swallow nj my window
Tod the story unto me,
There was once a pretty lsssant.
Fair Of face and flaxen-tressed;
And gay and handsome soldier
In a coat OF scarlet dressed.
Tapping with a ieweled finger,
Lightly on the windew-sill,
Everywhere 60" he murmured,
Tender glances haunt me still,
Not lady at the palace
Hath face as fair as you,
Nor waist so trim and slender.
Nor an eye so darkly blue.
"Sooner shall the azure brightness
OF this sword be dim with rust
Sooner shall kneel for mercy
To a foeman in the dust.
Than e'er should cease to love you.
have never loved before;
Others were but passing fanoies-
will leave you neyermore."
But the soldier came no longer
When the snow began to fall,
:. And they hid the pretty peasant
And her woe beneath pail.
Still the village maids in summer
Strew her grave with willow-lesves.
And the swallow, still returning,
Builds beneath the broken eaysa,
In the South, among the roses,
Vowing still with jaunty air.
Endless love for ietty lashes,
Endless love for golden hair,
Kissing now silken ringlet,
Keeping now dainty glove,
Light OF heart the soldier fingers
Light of heart and light of love.
