to ugliness, ungainly Of figure, uned-
ucated, of the humblest origin and
homely Of speech, yet true to her
work, always where most needed, no
matter how great the danger, often
where neither surgeon or ambulance
corps dare venture, to the "boys, when
racked with disease or mangled by shot
or shell, her cherry Irish brogue came
as sweetest music and her SOFT deft
fingers, as they applied the lint or
bandnge, seemed to distil healing
balm. Many o mothers darling boy
gaZed his last upon her honey
motherly, tearstained face and died
the easier for it.
The army nurse was everywhere
loved and respected. Every soldier
was her knight and champion, and it
was, indeed, bold man that would
dare offer disrespectful word to her
or of her. for swift punishment would
surely follow.
No such number Of women (and there
were thousands of them) ever passed
through such an ordeal as they with
such utterly unsullied honor. Many
of them fell victims to their devotion
and filled soldiers graves. A few re-
turned and became happy wives and
mothers Many, worn out with dis
ease and overwork, have since died.
often, with shame be it said, in actual
want Others, still alive, are suffer
ing in deepest poverty, a living re-
proach to the men they cared for and
to the great and glorious nation they
SO faithfully served, while q few are
living q comfortable, happy old age.
But wherever they are now be sure of
one thing, when the trumpet shall
sound for the last great roll-call the
army nurse will be round at the front
to take her place with Gods holy
angels,-O. S. Whjtmore, IN Inter

says Sir James, were much impressed
by the dignifed, respectful and affec-
onate way in which the General spoke
of Queen Victoria. He said that
Americans would never forget that her
Majesty had been their friend in the
civil war, and had used her influence
in opposition to the recognition of the
South as nation. His frank, out
spoken exclamation, The Queen, God
bless herr touched every heart. After
the General had spoken, an incident
occurred illustrative of the complete
reconciliation of the North and South.
Mr.. Calhoun, President of the Central
Railway of Georgia, and son Ct the
great Southern statesmen, John G..
Calhoun, when introduced to Gen.
Sherman, remarked: You will remem-
Der, General, the visit you paid to my
fathers home in Georgia. 'Oh, yes,
replied the General, we had very
good time there And turning to the
President with grim smile observed,
I burned his fathers house to the
ground when I was there. ;"

The Empty Sleeve.


You may talk about the pathos
In the hard3hips Of the war,
You may talk about the glory
or the cause that you fought for,
But there's nothing so pathetic
AS the lesson we receive
Arom the quiet, idle Tapping 20.
OF the useless empty sleeve. a.,
You may talk about the marches,
The scant rations and "hard tack"
OF "the last drop in the canteen,n
And "tho empty haversaCk;"
There's nothing 50 convincing in
The impressions that you leave
A the mute and spcechlcsS record
or 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 passed
But We see grim reminder
Every morn and noon and eve
an 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 OF deeds of great rcnOwn,
Dut there's naught In poets anthems,
OR the chaplcts that they weave,
That can beat the touching story
OF the useless empty sleeve.

who he was, not even whether the
quaint bones when clad in flesh and in
spired with life had been Federal or
Confederate. They only knew that he
had been soldier, and that his bones
were bleaching on tho ground. Ten
derly they buried the remains, laying
them away with many silent tear.
A wide wooden headboard was
placed on the grave. aud as tho years
passed by the section men cared for
the tomb of the unknown soldier, and
n collection was taken up among the
railroad men to preserve the place.
They placed marble slab at the head
and another at the foot. There is no
need for me to descant upon the senti
ments that fill the breast when per
son sees this lonely grave and thinks,
of the lonely hearts, perhaps, far away
that still ache for the lost loved one.
The incident itself tells the story. But
there is something about the the ten
derness shown by these railroad men,
some of them rough laborers on the
section, yet all of them with human
breasts and sympathy for the unknown
soldier, whoever he may have been
and on whichever side he may have
fought.

The WHITE RIVER VALLEY FAIR.

The Fair for 1891 was financially a sue
cess and that makes the whole fair sue
cess. This being the first year that cattle,
sheep, swine and poultry were omitted II
OF course seemed quiet and strange to
some but on the whole the officers of the
society are about evenly divided as 10
whether il is best or not TO DO so again.
Tbs weather was simply superb, nature
having done her utmost to cause people TO
turn out. The races were the best we
have had for many years, good judges say
ing that the 2:45 race was more interesting
than any race at the Breeders Meeting or
State Fair. The show of horses was f1ne
and it is evident that Vermont will soon
take first rank for breeding the highest
priced horses TO be had. Dennis Hickey
Tor this immediate section now stands at
the head as the owner OF the best blooded
horse stock. ID. n. Morse of Randolph
very materially helped the horse show
with his brood mare and colts. 9. w.
Bradstreet OF Royalton took first premium
with 'Blackhawk Prince" for stations
with colts. NJ. Chandler OF Stock bridge
carried off the palm with Como Jr., as the
best trotting stallion. The 2:I5 race was
won by I. X. Monkey of Tunbridge with
Glennox. The min. race was won by
Ed Whitney of Randolph with Bessie w.
But of all the races the HsPittsfeld Sweep
stakes was looked forward to with more
interest than any other race. Pittsneld
was well represented and betting was
lively between the hackers ofthe Durkee
colt and the Hayes colt. But when the
race came off, 10 and behold! neither won
il for II. G. Ranney was there with his
colt and swept the board by taking every
heat.
In Floral hall there was hardly any
exhibit OF vegetables but in every other
line the exhibit was praiseworthy. Es-
pecially were the farmers attracted TO the
exhibit of maple sugar from the state Ag-
ricultural station. The display. of flower
ing plants was one Of the best ever seen.

The iron part of the ak is now complete.
The steel for the blade, after being heated,
is cut by machinery and shaped with a die.

cut in the edge Of the iron, the steel for the

operation of tempering. The steel portion
of the ak is heated by being inserted in

Death and the Tide.

"When the tide goes out he will die"
With the assurance born of long expert
ence beside deathbeds, the nurse in somber
gray Whispered these words to one of the
sufferers friends in tenement house in
Seventeenth street.
The man had been working on the dock
and crane had fallen and struck him on
the head. They bore him away to his
squalid home. The company had sent a
doctor and a nurse, but these were now of
small avail
sit is only a legend"
eyes, it is only legend, but wait and
see
There was the faint ticking of the clock,
but that was all that broke the silence OF
the next few hours.
The night ebbed slowly away
Dawn was almost breaking.
'The tide-it is very near the full now,''
whispered the patient watcher. Come
closer if you want to see him die"
And the little group in the room moved
closer, and so, too, he died, died when the
tide went out at break of day, and out on
the bosom of the tide had swept away, to-
ward a great, unlighted sea, a human
soul.
1T is only legend, | know" said the
nurse afterward, "but | have been beside
many deathbeds and never yet have |
known the fancy to prove false. There
seems to be even in death, as in life, a
strange tide, and in the case of death a
tide in some strange sort blended and act
ing in keeping with the circle of the tide
that runs out to the ocean."-New York
