frightful painting of the trembling
horses now well in my hands. Again
and again l cried-louder and wilder
and deeper in my distress. But heard
nothing in response save the mocking
echos and the heaving sound of the
restless horses. 1t was the most terri.
BILE moment of my life-terrible beyond
expression! Alone in the dismal Sier-
ras-themselves the picture and inspi-
ration of gloom! alone in the deadness
of the night, with frightened team I
knew not how to manage, a broken
stage out of its pathway, and a sup
posed dead companion to find and guard
| till help, or the morn, or the grizzly
bear should come. No pen can ever
adequately portray the sensations of
soul in such crisis.
Again I cried with wall of misery
and despair l knew not how long,
how loud, nor to whom the wailing
note went; but my cry was answered
by low moan, the groan of man
seemingly in the agonies of death. My
driver was not yet dead! and so thank
fulness again sprang into my soul.
1t was some consolation even to hear
it came the hope that the poor fellow,
after all, would survive.
Hope grew stronger for the next mo-
ment came another and still another
groan, this time from man evidently
with vital energy and rallying strug-
gle. Soon the driver crawled, half
dead, up the bank, but the only thing
he seemed to be thankful for, and the
only fact he appeared to appreciate, was
his courage in holding on to the lines
while he was being dashed and dragged
about on the rocks below. In the dark.
ness the first thing he wanted seen was
the manner in which he had performed
the fearful feat of-holding the reins!
|, still trembling, held the frightened
horses against the upper bank, doing
all 1 could to quiet the fears of the
painting beasts.
BY the aid of matches we soon had
good light, and the situation was fully
revealed. The poor driver was fright
fully mangied and torn, one ear being
well nigh severed from the head as he
struck the sharp edge of the rocks be-
low.
tied up the man as best could, we
mended the broken stage and got it
back into the road, and then came the
slow and cautious and painful descent
to the next station at the foot of the
range.
But poor Henry was never again able
to go upon the road behind his team in
the long months during which /
remained in correspondence with
friends over his fate.-M. V. Moore, il

Strange Enect of Frost.

A remarkable instance of the dis
astrous effect that the prolonged frost
has had upon the fish was to be seen at
the Welsh Harp lake, near Hendon,
which more than perhaps any other
place within easy reach of London has
bHnn the rendezvous of thousands of
skaters On one side of that superb
sheet of water had been cut breathing
hole about ten yards square for the un-
happy little prisoners below, and here
had congregated in their thousands a
medley shoal of pike, dace, roach and
perch. The poor creatures were all more
or less frozen, and could easily have
been picked out of the water by the
hand. Not few, indeed, had already
perished from cold or hunger and were
floating together with the living on the
surface of the water. The perch had
lost all their coy lithsomeness, as shown
by the fact that they allowed them
selves to be gobbled up by the ravenous
jack with utter sang froid. The con
gested pool was lined all day by an in
terested ring of spectators.

One Man Lett.

There is not a man living who fought
in the first battle of Bull Run, and also
in the battle of the Appomatox as n
Union soldier. This statement appear
ed in Washington, ID. c., paper some
time since. The number of union
troops actively engaged is stated to
have been %, 900 at Bull Run. The
friends of Capt. John r. Morris, of
George G. Meade Post No. i, claim
that he is ''one man left" but doubt
whether there nre any others in Phila-
delphia who took active part in both
battles Comradc Morris, by sing liar
coincidence, was soldier in the color
company in the regiment which held
the extreme right of the line at Bull
Run. This was colonel, afterward ma
jor general, Terry's Second Connecti-
cut first three months men. At the
last named battle he was an officer of
the color company of the Thirty-first
United States colored infantry which
held the extreme left of the union line,

Farragut was man of brevity and
dispatch. Action was his life, but he
(only) once broke over this rule and
treated the boys to n speech. Perhaps
no one living can more nearly reproduce
his words than myself The ram Ar
kansas had just run the gauntlet of the
combined fleets of Farragut, and the
Mississippi squadron, assembled mile
above ViclSsburg, followed the same
night by our fleet, down past the bat
teries of ViclSsburg, to checkmate the
further progress of the ram down the
river. Ingenuity had been TAXED to the
utmost to prepare the fleet to receive
her-such as stationing men on the
yard-arms to drop shells upon her decks
or into her smokestacks; also hosting
anchors to the yard-arms, with their ca
bles shaclSled to the decks, man being
stationed with an AK to cut the fall that
held it, and bring the enemy alongside
for boarding, etc. The Essex and Queen
of the West had, together, in open day,
attempted with solid shot and ram, re-
spectively, to destroy her and failed,
and after two days of preparation an
embarrassing quiet had brought the in
quiry: What will the admiral do
next?" When one fine morning at 10
o'clock, the notes of a well known silver
whistle sounded through the ship and
the stentorian voice of the boatswain
was heard: "A-l-l hands to m-u-s-
ter, with the quick command on a
higher key: Dye hear there? Lay
aft, everybody on the quarterback to
muster" every officer ana man obeyed.
Farragut appeared before us looking,
/ thought, embarrassed-like one about
to undertake a small and unbecoming
thing. He said: "Men, you have
worked hard and done courageously and
well. The fleet surgeon reports over

THE OLD RAILWAY WALL.

How wond'rous and varied the pictures OF mem
oryl
Some glowing In sunshine, some saddened with
tears;
Whilst others have promise Of greater distirot
ness,
And glow all the brighter with increase OF years.
Scarce one but possesses some treasure, sur.
passing
The richness OF Cuben's or Titnn's art;
For with it Is blended the sweetness OF voices,
Those touches the painter can never irnpart.
1t may be tho scene OF the old fashioned home
stead,
The wood frowning near II, with each we'll
known glade;
Again you are hunting for bluebell and prim-
Or the gay lords and ladies that grew In the
shade;
Again come tho voices from over the meadow
The laughter of children-earth's sweetest re-
frain;
And the eyes swim with tears as you think Of
the many
Whose voices will never te heard there again.
Or In that close e.curtained regions-so sacred
The trysting place. hnllowed by memories dear;
Where VOWS passed between you, still firm and
unbroken,
Made firm by affection that casteth out fear;
The twilight is deep'ning, the last streak OF
crimson
Is flecking the cloudlets that lie in its train;
You listen once more in that eventide stiffness
To accents moro tender than Philsmers strain.
No trysting place mine, with its sweet recollec-
tions,
The tenderer scenes are but dimly portrayed;
Like melody borne to our cars from distance,
That dies while we wonder from whence IL has
straycd
The spot love denrest-nn old narrow cutting,
road running parallel. fanked by wall;
Where often 1 fingered with him whom
trusted,
So steadfast in friendship, SO noble withal
Full often we sat there. the pale moon above us,
And talked OF u future that knew no alloy;
or deep cherished schemes that must end in
fruition,
Nor dreamed Of the forces that blight and de-
stroy;
All needless of time till the stiffness that fol-
lows
The city's dull roar settled down like pail;
Then with hearts knit more firmly by friendly
communion,
We said our farewells by the old Railway Wall.
How few OF the castles we built are remaining
How few of the friends whom we valuedso deari
Our noble ideals, how much uuaccomplished
And the glass reveals darlily that once seemed
so clear
Full many picture since then have cherished
But that OF ali otAsrs l love to recall,
Is the one whore sat with the friend OF my
boyhood,
In life's joyous morn, on the old Railway Wall.

Confidence In tho Old Horse.

The little son of Gen. Crittenden was
devoted to his fathers war horse, that
was named for the illustrious John j.
Crittenden, Of Kentucky, the child's
grandfather He asked his father to
tell him of a retreat he made during
the war, but at certain point said,
Father were you on John J?" On be-
ing answered affirmatively, the young
ster slid down from the paternal knee,
and was toddling off as fast as his little
legs could, carry him, when his father
said: Where are you going, my son?"
Father" he said, turning and showing
face full of reproach, John j. never
would have retreated if you hadn't
turned him round" This same 10y
grew to manhood, and died with his
face to the foe with Custer and his men
on the Little Big Horn.-Harper's Mag

SCRAPS FOR OLD SOLDIERS.

NEAL MCNEIL, of White Pigeon,
Mich, is one of the Oldest soldiers in
the grand army, if not the oldest. He
was born in England in 1907, making
his age "a years. He served in Com
pany K, Twenty-fourth Michigan in
fantry.
GEN. SHERMAN had way of his own
of dealing with correspondents who
displeased him when he was upon the
march. On one occasion he had cor
respondent named Crapsey, who is
now in obscurity in some little way
station between New York and Wash
ington, marching behind a drum corps,
in front of the army, bearing on his
back huge board, on which was in
scribed the legend: This man is a
liar"
THE heroes of the civil war have dis
appeared much sooner after it's close
than did those of the Revolution. It
was half a century after the declara-
ton of independence before Adams and
jefferson died, and the year before
their death the White-house had been
vacated by president who had joined
the army in 1910. 1t is but thirty years
now since the firing on Fort Sumter,
and the great leaders of that period
in both civil and military life are all
gone.
AMONG the three star heroes that one
by one are silently striking their tents
and moving off forever is soldier not
often mentioned. 1t is Gen. Pleasanton.
He is still to be seen on the streets OF
Philadelphia, walking with the firm
step of a hale and hearty man. The
general dresses rather oddly, a great
coat reaching to the grouLd, wide
brimmed slouch hat. and carries heavy
cane. He is seldom recognized AS he
moves along, except by some old army
comrade. and he seems to be absorbed
In his own reflections.
