AT FORTY-FIVE.

ssHalt.'' cry the bugles. down the columns
length.
And nothing 10th to halt and rest am L
For summers heat had somewhat taxed my
strength,
And long the dusty ways before me lie.
The dew that glittered when the echoing horn
Called reveille TO greet the waking DAY:
The cool sweet shadow OF the CHEEKY morn.
The birds that thrilled the bugles' rounde-
lay;
The scented violets with eyes Of blue,
That breathed sweet incense when we trod
them down;
The wild wood buds and blooms OF brightest
hue,
Fair prophecy OF honors radiant crown;
And all that made the earlier marching light,
Have passed like incense of the rosy hours,
And many a beaten field Of fercest fight
Lies between MONDAY and auroral flowers.
For all its promise, morning brought US care.
SO soon its songs and pleasant shadows
passed;
Our ambushed foes lurked in each woodland
fair;
Our standards gay. wars bright heraldic
Our uniforms, with gold and silver drest
Are rent and torn in battles furious rage,
Blood STAINED and marred with dust each
glittering crest
The light young hearts that made jest OF
life,
And laughed at death when we broke camp
at dawn
Changed are their merry songs for shouts Of
strife,
Or bushed where valor mourus . comrade
gone.
And lettering here awhile at ''rest a: ease"
note the shadows falling to the east
Behind me- plume crowned, looms the hill
whose trees
Promised US glory, wealth, and love and
peace.
Beckoned US on when morning time was
bright
To certainty OF victory and rest;
And now-'tIs afternoon; twill soon be night;
And have passed the green hills waving
crest.
'Forwardr' the bugles CALL ready ami;
For though my step hath lost its springing
gait,
] am mose prompt to march; quick to obey;
Less apt to question or to hesitate.
Yet, when some belted trooper gallops by

And hail him with the infantryman's cry:

WAS that all, Becky" Mother was
so surprised that she could not find
any thing else to say.

cured her?''
"And do you mean to say that she
was not going into a decline at alp"
mother urged.
''Yes. and no. She hadn't any dis
ease that's down in the books, though
l don't know what eating that stuff
would have done in time. But she
was declining fast into foolish. senti-
mental. romantic simpleton, with all
her ideas of love and heroines and
affinities and death. and she might
have declined by this time into some
thing worse, for she was fast getting
where she could have been most easily

cause to regret perhaps all her days.
Queer. that mothers can't see such
things!'

''Yes. that's just it. You were too

And Bess did not. Mother was

not lapse into another decline; and
mother saw to it that the other girls

mantle period for which she found

COWS AND CALVES.

No One Need Milk an Improbable AMI
NAL More Than One Season.
Ispeak from many years experience
in raising cows when recommend
that they De bred to come in at two
years old. 1t is barely possible that
the animal may not attain quite as
great a weight at maturity as if bred
to come in at three years old, but even
this am inclined to doubt, for / be-
lieve it simply makes them little
longer in getting their growth; but
even if the size should be reduced a
little what does it matter? Bigness is
not what We want in a COW, but a de-
veloping of the milk and butter quail
ties. and it is wise to begin this early.
A good heifer that comes in at two
years old has more than half paid the
cost of raising at three, while the ami
NAL kept till then without a calf has
cost double. Another reason for
breeding young is that you may test
the COW early and if you find she mas
bad disposition, or milks hard, or that
her milk is OF poor quality, you may
turn her into beef and get rid of her
year sooner. Cows are so easily raised.
or cheap to buy. that no one should
milk a abad-dispositioned or unprofita-
BILE COW more than one season.
Heifers that are to be mothers at
two years old should be fed literally
and cared for so that they will be we'll
developed, and Holsteins ought to
weigh nine hundred or one thousand
pounds at that age, and will If fed and
sheltered as they should be. Corn
should form but small part of the ra-
tion. for we wish to develop bone and
muscle rather than fat. / always raise
the calves by hand. rather than let
them suck. not only because it is
cheaper, but because the calf fed by
hand is made gentle by it and will be
less likely to give trouble in breaking
to milk. The cost Of raising a calf to
two years old will vary with the price
OF grain and hay, and in different To-
calities. but is. believe, less than most
farmers estimate. Some years ago
my family physician had a Jersey
COW drop very promising heifer calf,
which he raised. keeping exact ac-
count He charged $S. if I recollect,
for keeping the calf until four months
old. when he sent it to pasture. From
this date until she dropped q calf at
two years old he kept an account Of
every cent Of expense, charging the
bull service. as well as the cost of keep
ing. and she cost him $Sl. 25.-Waldo

AUNT BECKY'S REMEDY

Effectual Cure.

THE GRENADA VOLUNTEERS.

The excitement that prevailed here
on Sunday was founded upon tCle-
grams received by Mr.. Chas. Townc4,
a large planter who lives in Lctlort
county, to come at once and bring all
the men you can" This was follow
ed by other dispatches of the same
tenor. The character of the parties
IN these correspondence, was surety
That there was something serious On
mana, and the young mCn Of Grenada
came forward and enrolled themselves
as volunteers to meet the Emergency,
and they unanimously selected Hon.
D.. Z Iongstreet as their leader.
About midday they took the south
bound train for WinOna, to get on the
Georgia Pacific, for the scenes Of
trouble. While at Winona Il telegram
was received from Gov. Lowry, by
the Winona Rifles, a regular organiz-
ed State militia company, to be in
readiness for a special train to bring
them to Greenwood. The train came
promptly consisting of three fiat cars,
and the Winona Rifles very cOurta-
Ously invited the Grenada Boys to 90
with them, which was accepted, and
soon both companies were hurrying
with railroad speed to Greenwood.
Reaching there the Rifles separated
to the Governor, while the Grenada
boys were left to act on their own res
possibility, the Governor depending
upon his true militia companies. The
Grenada Boys, not desiring to act in
dependently and intent upon the
peace and dignity of the State, finding
that his Excellency had no use for
them determined to come home,
which they did without Disturbing the
quiet of Greenwood.
There were in Greenwood, five or
six hundred volunteers from different
quarters, all more or less excited, but
without any official head, like our
boys, each and all ready to do any
duty imposed by the proper author
ity.
These are the facts as We learn
them. We feel assured that the
young men who left here were Actual
