CAMPFIRE STORIES.
THE EMPTY SLEEVE.


You may talk ABOUT the pnthos
in the hardshIps OF the war,
You may talk about the glory
or the cause that you fought tors
But there's nothing so pathetic
As the lesson we receive
From the quiet, idle Tapping
or the useless empty sleeve
You may talk about the marches.
The scant rations and hard tack;"
or "the last drop in the canteen,"
And 1.-THE empty haversack,"
There's nothing so convincing in
The Impressions that you leave
As the mute md speeches. record
OF the useless empty sleeve.
You may speak OF Southern prisons,
But their horrors could not last;
OF the roar and din OF battle.
And thank God that, too, has past.
Bat we sec n grim reminder,
Every morn and noon and eve,
In the living, speaking presence
or the useless empty sleeve.
Soldiers deck the graves OF comrades
With the laurel that they won,
Poets sing OF gallant heroes,
And ofdceds OF great renown;
But there's naught in poets anthems
Or the chaplets that they weave
That can beat the touching story
OF the useless empty sleeve.

Helena Heraldings and News Notes.

One of the "sweetest" and merriest
parties that had met together for long
time, might have been seen at the hall
Tuesday night. 1t was juvenile gath
ering, with a sprinkling Of older chill
dren, for an old-fashioned candy-pull-
ing. They got together for fun and had
lots of it in sticks, cakes and chunks,
etc. The ct cetera was the most anus
ing part. 1t was such "stuck up
crowd,n said little friend who had a
hand in it. The party pulled through
in good time, we'll pleased with its per-
formance.
This immediate section has cause for
gratitude that it again escaped the
storm-centre Of the fateful cyclone
having been brushed only by one of it's
far-reaching wings. last Saturday after
noon. This is the third or fourth time,
in nearly as many years, that these
destructive tornadoes have gone either
above or around us; and while we are
thankful for our deliverance from their
appalling effects, our sympathy should
20 out to those places and people who
suffer from this oft-recurring trouble.
Our county has suffered the loss of a
life and the destruction of timber and
smaller buildingsin many places, all of
which is reported by the editor.
