THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.

IT'S the day of the conflict in battle array
Stand the waiting eombatants-the blue and the
Gray
From the green pasture lands comes the lowing of
herds
From the forests deep shadows the music Of birds.
In warm, golden splendor the suns slanting rays
Lie over the broad fields Of ripening maize.
little brook gurgles by hedge,row and thistle;
Aquail makes his plant in soft, mellow whistle.
All nature is peaceful; yet here, face to face,
They meet for the contes-these souls Of one race!
The Gray waits sereney in abatised strength
The Blue, brave and daring. advances at length,
In the sea of red clover, so fragrant and sweet,
Just there, on the edge of the meadow, they meet.
An attack, sharp and sudden-a noise-what is
this
A report 2-it is only true lovers kiss!
'Tis glorious capture-and thus ends the fray
His eyes are blue eyes, and her eyes are gray.

The Way to Win Him.
BY E. c. ].

"Will you never learn" said Mrs. Wall
lingford, angrily, addressing her daughters,
Clara and Augusta, "to be dressed in time
for morning callers? This is not the first
occasion I've had to speak of it."
''Nor will it be the last" answered Clara,
pertly. SIT doesn't pay to dress SO soon,
especially when one isn't sure anybody will
call. The footman told Mr.. Murray to
wait"
"But gentlemen don't like to be kept
waiting. Nothing disgusts them more. And
the catch of the season, too It's useless
fcr me to work and plan for you, if you act
in this way"
Clifford Murray, the hero of our story,
possessed every advantage that man could
desire.
He was young, eminently handsome, finely
Murray House, his fathers residence, was
one of those fine old mansions that still
linger here and there, as mementoes of the
past, even in New York; it was grand and
sumptuous, in stately way, quite different
from anything that is built nowadays; and
it was adorned everywhere, with works of
the rarest beauty and costliness. 1t was
principally for his sake that Mrs. Walling-
ford had issued cards for what she intended
should be the ball of the winter. No
wonder then she lost her temper, when she
found, the morning he called, that the niece
she had taken in from charity, had acci-
dentally met Mr.. Murray, and proved to be
an old acquaintance.
But for the dilatoriness of her daughters,
she said to herself, this would not have hap
pened and though Clara and Augusta
laughed at the idea Of rivalry on the part Of
Ethel, Mrs. Wallingford was not quite SC
sure of their superiority Bat let us &C
back and tell how it all happened.
Clifford Murray was going up the broac
walk that led to the imposing front entrance
of the Wallingford's, and was admiring the
gorgeous greenhouse bloom and tropica
splendor that met his eye on every side
when his attention was suddenly arrested By
the sound of woman's voice, or a girl
voice, rather, singing simple but mos
exquisite strain. He was an ardent lover o
music, and paused involuntarily, at the bas
of the marble steps, and listened, while tn
clear, liquid notes hoated out on the frost
air. He thought it the sweetest voice he ha,
ever heard-and he smiled unconsciously il
his delight.
Just at this moment, the drawing-roon
window flew up and a tuft of feathers flut
tered in and out, and the wondrous singin
seemed much nearer than before.
Clifford Murray was gentleman, but 70
the life of him he could not refrain fror
looking up, and as he did he SO, pair c
very brown eyes looked down, and the sing
ing ceased all of a sudden.
Holly Oak journal. (Holly Oak, Del.) 1889-1???, 1889-02-01

"Why dear me !" cried pretty plaintive
voice. "Wait just one moment, please, Mr..
Murray"
Mr.. Murray ran up the steps, and the
door was opened as he reached it.
"Good morning Mr. Murray !" said the
same pretty voice. ''You have forgotten me
no doubt; but | remember you. Walk in,
please"
He walked in, and seated himself amid
the splendors of the Wallingford drawing
room.
81 was busting of the furniture when you
came," continued his companion smoothing
down pair of very dainty cuffs as she spoke,
sand the drawing is little cold.
Won't you sit closer to the fire ?"
Murray was at his wits end. This was
neither of the Misses Wallingfords he had
He looked at her narrowly. A trim, grace
full figure in deep black, save the spotless
white at the throat and wrists, and the
sweetest young face, and the brightest,
sunniest hair his eyes had ever beheld. She
looked up and her brown eyes twinkled
.Ah, you have quite forgotten me, Mr.,
Murray ?" she said mischievously.
Clifford Murray cudgeled his memory as
he never did before. Presently sudden flash
lit his gray eyes.
"No / haven't |" he exclaimed rising to
his feet. "You are Ethel Willoughby, the
rector's daughter"
The young lady smiled, and extended her
hand. "Miss Willoughby," he continued,
81 am very glad to meet you. How is your
worthy father, and my old friends :"
Her eyes filled with tears Immediately.
He saw his mistake in an instant.
"Forgive me-" he entreated, glancing at
her mourning robes. 81 did not think and
have panied you So"
''No, mol" she replied. struggling bravely
for self command; "It Goes not pain me.

"Ah | often look back to those happy

Linculn'S Assassination.

John II. Ford was proprietor of The
theatre at which President Lincoln
was assassinaicd, at 1890 p. M. April
II, 1SG5, twenty-fOur years ago this
April. Mr.. Ford contributes to the
last North American Review II paper
which throws historic light on the
casC-1f Mrs. Surratt. Mir. Ford insists
most earnestly that in her execution
an innocent woman was officially
Ls1-sanglcd by the United States govern
fsrcnt. It may be so. In that period
of horror ana excitement it is quite
possible that nice determinations were
not made.
Mr.. FUrd's evidence shows that John
Wilkes Booth could have had no
knowledge that President Lincoln was
TO he at the theatre the evening of
April Ii till noon of that same day.
The plot, such as il was, WAS arranged
with Payne and AdZcrott after that
hour. Mrs. Surratt had gone out OF
Washington TO the country carly that
morning.
Mr.. Ford brings evidence to show
that Mrs. Surratt had no Knowledge cf
the conspiracy. Five members of the
military commission that sentenced
her signed recommendation to the
president for mercy in her case. Alr.
Ford believes this was never laid hc-
fore the president. AS Mrs. Surlalt
"wallied in her shroud TO the scailOil'
it was said that she begged to be per-
mittcd to tell the people she was inno-
cent. 1t was refused.
