.Demeter and Per.ephone.-

DEMETER-Faint as a climats changing
bird that flies
All night across the darkness, and at dawn
Falls on the threshold of her native land
And can no more, thou earnest, my child,
Led upward by the God Of ghosts and
dreams,
Who laid thee at Eleusis, dazed and dumb
With passing through at once from state
Until brought thee hither; that the day
When here thy hands let fail the gathered
flowers
Might break through crowded memories
Once again
On thy lost self. A sudden nightingale
Saw thee and flushed into q frolic of song
And welcome. And a CLEAN, as OF the
When first she peers along the tremulous
deep,
Fled wavering DER thy face, and chased
away
That shadow Of a likeness to the King
OF Shadows, thy dark mate, Persephone,
Queen Of the dead no more, my child,
thine eyes
Again were human, godlike; and the sun
Burst from a swimming fleece of winter
And robed thee in his day from head to
feet.
RECOMMENDATIONS, and l was folded in
thine arms.
DEMETER. Child, when thou vert gone

Yea the dubbed honess; went in search OF
thee
Through many a palace, many a cot, and
My breast to ailing infants in the night,
And set the mother waking in amaze TO

Her sick one whole; and forth again l went
Among the wall of midnight winds, and
cried:
''Where Is my loved onel Wherefore do ye

And from out all the nigh. an answer

A league of labyrinthine darkness, came
On three gray heads beneath a cleaning

Where and l heard one voice from all the

And not of gods, and know not why we spin.
There is Il fate beyond u.s."
Those gray heads,
What meant they by their fates beyond the
fates,
Blu younger, kindlier gods to bear US down,
As we bore down the gods before Us; gods
To quench, nor hurl the thunderbolt; to
stay,
Nor spread the plague, the famine; gods,
indeed,
To send the noon into the night. and break
The sunless halls of Hades into Heaven,
Till thy dark lord accept and love the sun,
And all the shadow die into the light;
When thou shalt dwell the whole bright
year with me
And souls of men who grew beyond their
race
And made themselves as gods against the
OF Death and He'll. And thou, that hast
from men,
As Queen of Death, that worship which is
fear,
Henceforth as having risen from out the
dead,
Shall ever send thy life along with mine.

I. Boston, Feb. 20.--Two veterans OF the
civil war keep bachelors hall In pretty
New England town. Both are heroes,
but both are modest; so, out Of respect
for their feelings, they will be designated
here as Federal Capt. Thomas and Con-
fcderate Capt. Williams. They had been
college chums. and the three weeks pre-
ceding the firing Of the iirss shot at
Charleston were spent by Williams at
the home Of Thomas--the same homo
where Williams now does the carving,
because his host has but one arm, and
where Thomas does most Of tho walking,
because his guest has but one leg. Az
soon as II was certain that war was in
evitable the friends separated and went
TO the front, one donning the blue and
the other the gray.
The war was nearly over when they
first met as foes. IL was on the field Of
ono Of the terrible last battles. Early In
the fight Thomas, who had become
captain of infantry, had his right arm
shattered by fragment Of shell that
exploded above his head. In his excite
ment he did not perceive how serious
his wound was, but simply placed tho
wounded member in a sling made OF his
handkerchief, took his sword in his left
hand and dashed TO the front again.
The battle grew hot and furious. A po-
sition at first held by the Confedcrates
was usurped by Capt. Thomas and his
company, who, by their audacity, were
drawing heavy fire from the men In
gray. For quarter Of an hour they
were unable 10 advance one inch, and
were constantly charged by reckless
company Of cavalry, led, Capt. Thomas
soon perceived, by his friend Williams.
Presently one Of these charges proved
disastrous to tho Confederate captain.
He fell from his horse midway between
the opposing forces and lay motionless
In an extremely dangerous spot, where
shells from a distant part Of the field
were dropping every minute. Capt.
Thomas saw that his friend was still
alive. and made up his mind In an instant.
"Come on, boys" he shouted, and
dashed forward, followed by his men.
Five men fell before they had advanc-
ed fifty yards. Still shouting encourage
ingly TO his followers. Capt. Thomas ran
TO where his wounded friend lay, raised
him TO his shoulder and darted toward
large rock which offered shelter from
the flying shells and bullets. The rock
was only dozen PAGES distant, but once
shell burst almost ut his feet. covering
both with dirt. When the coveted place
Of safety was reached Capt. Thomas col
lapsed. A little later he was found by
his victorious comrades lying insensible
beside the man whose life he had saved.
Capt. Thomas carried away the stump
of an arm and Capt. Williams tho stump
OF leg as souvenirs Of the fight; and
when the war was over they laughingly
ngreed to form poolo sound limbs and
keep bachelors hall for the remainder Of
their lives.

THE COMTE DE PARIS IN 81

CAREER WITH MCCLELLAN.

Should the Comte de Paris prolong
his visit 10 the American states II will
give occasion for some pleasant re-
unions with those Of his old camp a.
sociatcs In tho Union army who sur
vive at this date. Although he was on
headquarters duty--he served as n
captain and aide-de-camp under the title
Of Louis Philippe dOrlcans--he was by
no means carpet knight, but one Of the
fcugh and ready soldiers, who braved
danger and hardships with his American
comrades like teoman, prince though
he was and king that might be. Tho
fact that he was student and Observer,
as we'll a. daring man Of arms, no
doubt gives sober hue 10 the personal
recollections Of the war, which he has
published In Europe and America, yet
his observations are % frank and earnest

Taking his watch and chain from the
pocket Of his hunting shirt, he opens the
saddle bag on the near side and takes
thcrefrom two packets one heavily
sealed---which he hands to Hayne.
"In case 1--don't come back. you know
what TO do with these--as told you last
night"
Hayne only looks imploringly at him:
"You are not going to leave me here,
captain"
"Yes, Hayne. You can't go with US.
Hnrk! There they go at the right. Arc
the packages all right2"
Hayne. with stunned faculties, think
ing only Of the charge he longs to mako
mot OF the one he has 10 keep-rcplies
he knows not what. There Is ringing
bugle call far of among the rocks TO the
westward; a rousing cheer; rafting
volley. Rayner springs of TO his men
on the hillside. Hull spurs in front Of
his eager troop, holding high his pistol
hand:
"Now. men, follow till drop; and
then keep aheadi Come oni"
There Is furious sputter of hoofs, a
rush Of excited steeds up the gentle slope,
glad outburst Of cheers as they sweep
across the ridge and out Of sight, then
the clamor and yell of frantic battle;
and when ut last 1t dies away, the riflers
are painting over the hard won position
and shaking hands with some few silent
cavalrymen. They have carried the
ridge, captured the migrating village,
squaws, ponies, travois, and pappooses;
their "long Toms" have sent many a
stalwart warrior TO the mythical hunt
ing grounds, and the pcppery colonel's
triumph is complete.
But Lawrence Hayne, with all the
light gone from his brave young face,
stands mutely looking down upon the
stifFening frame of his fathers old friend,
and his. who lies shot through tho heart.

"The Federal left had hitherto made
an obstinate stand in this narrow section
Of the wood against the assaults Of Long
street at first and of Whiting after him.
The latter finally availed himself Of the
confusion into which his adversaries had
been thrown by the loss Of the wood at
New Cold Harbor, to take possession OF
It; but every time that his soldiers VEN
turcd beyond the curtain OF trees the en-
emy's cannon compelled them to run
back Tor shelter behind this protecting
screen. Meanwhile the Federal infantry,
which had again formed into line near
its guns, was becoming exhausted by so
unequal a struggle, the ammunition was
giving out, no re-enforcements arrived
and the moment approached when excess
i've fatigue would overcome the energy
OF the steadiest men. The regiments, Of
which more than one were reduced TO
handful Of men, drew together in isolated
groups; the combat continued, but was
carried on individually by soldiers among
whom all systematic connection had
ceased TO exist.
Precisely at this moment jackson
cStonewallJ came forward with his last
reserves and ordered a general attack.
The attenuated lines of the Federals
were everywhere shattered. Whiting
sent forward one of his brigades COM
posed Of Texan soldiers. Gen.
HOOD, who was one of the most brilliant
officers in the Confederate army, was in
command Of this brigade, to which he
impaired his own martial ardor. In vain

fire to check him like the others as he
emerged from the wood. The four Texan
regiments advanced without faltering

ltFrom arecent photograph strange to the
eyes Of observant foreigners. One Of the
earliest personal incidents narrated In his
history Of the civil war is Of q balloon
trip he made from the Union camp, near
Fairfax, over the opposing lines, which
were very close at that point. Tho bal
loon fioated above both the Union and
Confederate camps, and the author re-
lates with considerable detail the novel
spectacle spread out before him.
Tho Confederates. he says, were strag-
Cling about their quarters, and hanging
over their campfires, gossipinG, or walt
ing for their rntions, while on tho Union
side the troops were under arms and en-.
gagged In drilling or dress parade. OF
the counts headquarters services Gen.
Mcclellan has many good words In his
memoirs. He took the dangerous and
disagreeable things incident to his call
ing as an aide with the best grace. His
first experience In real war In this serv-
ice was had at Yorktown, on the penin-
sula, where he bivouacked for somo
weeks under the fire of the enemy's
shells.
When Yorktown was evacuated by
tho Confederates he hastened forward In
pursuit with the mounted column and
was one Of tho first TO reach Williams
burg, where tho Confederatcs halted In
retreat and stood at bay. During the
two months that followed, which In
cluded the march up the peninsula and
tho battles on the Chickahominy. ending
with the ''Seven Days." tho soldier
prince was constantly at the front,
where his person became quite well
known TO subordinate officers and SOL
diers OF the ranks. At the battle OF
Gaines Mill, June 81, the three princes
of McClellan's staff, De Joinville, Duke
do Chartres and the count, distinguished
themselves, as the battle was fought mt
some distance from the headquarters
and staff duty was arduous and attend
ed with grave dangers.
That battle wns ono of tho hardest Of
tho war, and IL cost Lee within q few
hours 10000 men to dislodgo Fitz John
Porter with strength OF only $1,000
against the 81 900 opponents. The hot
test fight was In the center along q wood.
ed region known as New Cold Harbor,
and here re-enforcements from Frank
Inns corps-Slocum's division--came up
In tho nick Of time, guided by the French
princes to tho most dangerous posts.
The fighting up to this time had been be-
tween tho troops Of Longstreet and
Whiting Oh the Confederate side and
Porter on tho Union side. What took
place when "Stonewalr Jackson's flank
ing column got TO work is described by
tho count with the freedom and warmth
Of an eye witness. He says:
