THE COMMON CHORD.

The Rappahannock's stately tide, aglow with
sunset light
Came sweeping down between the hills that
hemmed its gathering might
FROM one side rose the Stafford slopes, and on
the other shore
The Spottsylyania meadows lay, with oak
groves scattered DER
flushed were the sounds Of busy day; the
brooding air was hushed,
Save for the rapid-iowing stream that chanted
as ii rushed
Ger mead and gently slopiug hills on either
side the stream
The white tents Of the soldiers caught the suns
departing beam
On Spottsylvania's slopes the Blue, on Stat
ford's hills the Gray:
Between them, like an unsheathed sword the
glittering river lay.
Hark. Suddenly Union band far down the
stream sends forth
The strains of Hail Columbia the paan OF
the North.
Tbs tents are parted; silent throngs of soldiers,
worn and grim,
Stand forth upon the dusky slopes to hear the
martial hymn
So clear and quiet was the night that to the
farthest bound
OF either camp was borne the swell of sweet
triumphant sound
And when the last note died away, from distant
post to post
a shout, like thunder Of the tide rolled through
the Federal host
Then straight way from the other shore there
rose an answering strain
Bonnie Blue Flag came floating down the
slope and o'er the plain.
And then the Boys in Gray sent back our cheer
across the tide
A mighty shout that rent the air and echoed far
and wide
"Star-spangled Banner" we replied: thew an
swered, Boys in Gray
While cheer on cheer rolled through the dusk.
and family died away
Deeply the gloom had gathered round, and all
the stars had come
when the Union band began to play the notes
Of Home, Sweet Home
Slowly and softly breathed the chords, and ut
ter silence fell
Over the valley and the hllls-on Blue and GRAY
as well
Now swelling and now sinking low, now trem-
ulous, now strong,
The leaders cornet played the air OF the beautl-
full old song;
And, rich and mellow, horn and bass Joined in
the flowing chords.
So voice-like that they scarcely lacked the
charm Of spoken words
Then what cheer from both the hosts with
faces to the stars.
And tears were shed and prayers we're said
upon the field OF Mars.
The Southern band caught up the strain; and
we, who could sing, sang.
Oh, what glorious hymn Of home across the
rive rang.
We thought OF loved ones far away, of scenes
we'd left behind
The lowroofed farm house meath the elm that
murmured in the wind:
The children standing by the gate the dear
wife at the door;
The dusty sunlight all aslant upon the old barn
floor.
Oh! loud and long the cheer we raised, when
silence fell again
And died away among the hills the dear familiar
strain.
Then to our cots Of straw we stole, and dreamed
the livelong night
or far-of hamlets in the hills, peace walled
and still, and white.

a ERIENDLY LION.
But 1t Was Doubtless Fear That Made |
Him Friendly.

Him Friendly.
" had a fright from lion, once,' said q
gentleman who had been an habitual trav-
eler, the other day. ga party of US had left
the Cape of Good Hope after lions, and had
proceeded some distance into the interior,
when our attention was called to an object
skulklng In the bushes. Three of US dis
mounted and crept forward, scattering as
we went. l made tor the brush, and as
turned it, being on my hands and knees,
came face to face with a lion. l was within
four feet of his head when l discovered him.
His eyes were open very wide, and his
breath came to me with sickening oder,
but he neither growled nor moved for a long
minute.
We looked into each others eyes, and ]
was so overcome that was like one paraly-
zed for the time. At that short distance
his eyes had the brightness Of electric
lights. Indeed, they seemed to burn mine,
and the feeling did not leave me for four or
five days.
After minute or so the lion uttered a
low growl, and sat up for better look at
me. was on my knees, and he snuffed at
me and uncovered his great teeth. Per-
haps another might have fired at him, as
his big head and chest offered target like
a barn door, and 1 had my gun all ready,
but hadn't the power to raise ny arms.
He growled again, and then turned around
and sneaked of through the bushes and
got away. Whom my companions came up
Twas too weak to walk to my horse, and on
reaching camp had to go tU bed.
