''Hope deferred Inaketh the heart sick; but
when the desire cometa it is tree OF life."-
Prov. xiii: IL.
But few of the living are left to know
How Priscilla Fairfax faith was tried,
When love in he Mays of long ago
The ravage and wreckage OF war defied-
AS out OF the meadow the lark took wing
Her soul by a strange unrest was stirred
To keep her tryst at the clif-hid spring
Though her heart was sick with its hope Dc
ferred.
Against the hole OF gnarly beach
She pressed her lips with a ushing face,
To the rough.cut words OF lovers speech
Her trembling fingers scarce could trace.
The letters we're blurred and SCARED with age.
BY winters OF snow and summers OF rain.
But never was written bolier page,
BY winters OF sorrow aud summers OF pain
And there was the date-wasit "'6ly
Apples and cherries were all in bloom.
She saw him shoulder his heavy gun
And march away in the solemn gloom.
Thrice since then had the cherry bloomed
And the hills been crowned with vivid red.
While over the valleys the cannon doomed
TIL the waves Of war washed up the dead
The cloud passed over them. speeding south,
Sweeping with Bosom OF smoke and flame
Never by letter or word of mouth
Unto her ever a whisper came.
But the afternoon grew hot and still;
The path to the house was long and steep;
She dipped her patl Into the bubbing rill-
It's womans fate to work and weep.
She stopped at the knotty beach again
To rest and nger a little spell.
Signing for only "What might have been"
When over her pathway a shadow fell.
Shading her ewes with trembling palm.
She caught her breath in her glad dismay,
She knew in spite OF that soldierly calm
That bronzed face and that suit OF gray.
Her eyes met his and with cheeks aploV
Their tears into solemn ioy were wed,
For the kindly care OF northern foe
Had robbed the yawning grave Of its dead.
With his good right arm he held her close,
And she for Joy, could scarcely gr!eve
Though-her hand on his shoulder folded thus
Her tears dropped down on his empty sleeve

A BRAVE DEED.

How a Private Extinguished Turning
Ammunition Wagon.
''There goes the bravest man in the
United States army, at least / saw him
do as brave deed as any that ever was
DONE" said Capt Mack in Amsden's
bank as he looked out on the street at a
man going by.
There were good many brave deeds
done in the army. Who is your man,
and what did he do?"
''He is Tom Gilbert and was private
in my company. Two men were pack
ing ammunition in a wagon at Baton
Rouge and some powder exploded in
the wagon and killed one of them. The
wagon contained thirty-two twenty
pound shells loaded with powder The
shells were packed points down and
the orifice in the rear end of each one
was filled with oakum, which is to be
pulled out and replaced by fuse when
put in the gun. The explosion of pow
der set fire TO the oalxum and it was
burning toward the powder when Gil
bert saw the situation. He first drew
the injured man away from the wagon,
and then finding pail of water con-
vicinity near. picked the shells up and
dipped the burning ends in the water.
None of them exploded, or he would
not have been here to go by the win

AsIlurst-MarshaIl.

Miss Pattie Marshall, of this city,
and Mr.. Otis Ashurst, of Georgetown,
were married at the Baptist Church
Thursday evening at o'clock. The
church began to fill with friends of
the bride at an early hour and by the
time the bridal party arrived there
was not standing room. Messrs.
Philip d. Arnold and Howard John
son, of this city, Robert Ward and
Ben. Lair, of Georgetown, acted as
ushers, and seated the vast assembly
as comfortably as possible, but it was
impossible to find seats enough to
supply the demand. The rush was
so great that the bridal party had
great difficulty in getting into the
church.
At the appointed hour the bridal
party moved up the center aisle,
while the organ, responding to the
artistic touch of Prof. Wayland Ora
ham, pealed forth the wedding march.
Messrs. Philip Arnold and Robert
Ward and Howard Johnson and Ben.
Lair, ushers, came first and were fol-
lowed by the bridesmaids, Misses
, Una Marshall and Pearl Evans, the
bride and groom bringing up the
rear.
Arriving at the altar the party ar
ranged themselves in a semi-circle in
front of Rev. w. G. Taylor, the Off
ciating minister, who, in beautiful
aud impressive ceremony, bound the
two young hearts together for all
| time.
After the ceremony the party left
the church and repaired to the resi-
dence of the brides parents, on
Cross street, to await the coming of
the $3.50 L. & N. train, upon which
they left for their future home in
Georgetown.
The bride looked lovely in white
silk, made en- train, with bridal
wreath and vail, and carried bo'
quet of white flowers in her hand.
The bridesmaids were also dressed in
white and carried punches of white
flowers, while the gentlemen we're
attired in black dress suits and white
gloves.
The bride is the youngest daugh-
! ter of Mr.. John N. Marshall and is a
prize the groom can we'll be proud
of, while the groom is a prosperous
young business man Of Georgetown.

PENSION PAY NENrs.

Scheme by Which the Government
Can Recover Overpayments.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Assistant Secre-
tary Bussey in his annual report to Secretary
Noble asks that congress be requested to
enact law that shall expressly authorize
the department TO treat all improper,
illegal and excessive payments
of pensions, whether caused by
fraud or by mistake, as proponents
to be charged against the current pension
with view to readjustinG or equalizing
the current pension payments within the
discretion Of the secretary. Heretofore, he
explains, Ia the absence Of clear legal pro-
vision on the subject, the government hav-
ing no authority to plead past overpaymsnt
as an offset TO current payments
Of pensions. has been compelled to
submit 20 serious losses of mouey
which. having been once improperly
paid either to claimants or to pensioners,
were recoverable under any established
rule Of the departmental practice He also
suggests that in the cases Of insane,
ldlotic or otherwise helpless children" of
deceased pensioners, the pensionable age
limit be abolished. The assistant secretary
a lso recommends that per. ons who served in
the confederate army and afterward en-
listed in the navy of the United States, be
given the same pensionable rights as are ac-
corded to those who served the confederate
cause and then enlisted in the army of the
United States.

Very Few Women Know, But Here Is

"Only very, very rarely" explained
charming girl, docs one ever meet in this
country either divan, or divan lounger with
the vaguest knowledge of correct uses for
the ideal place Of furniture. Broad, low,
deeply and softly tufted, draped with a
heavy rug Of smooth surface and beaped
with fluffy pillows. it is the apotheosis of
physical comfortab leness." Then this
widely travelled young beauty, who spent
several years in Greece, told most enter
tainingly of her first lesson in sitting on
genuine Turkish couch. 1t was in SIAM
oul, the Oldest part Of COnstantlnople,
that they went to a reception given by an
Armenian lady, but recently emancipat ed,
and consequently able to receive general
Company. Escorted by the son Of grand
vizier and beautifully handsome young
co-Greek, their sedan chairs were borne
along dark and tortuous streets, through
narrow, treacherous alleys, past secretive-
looking doorways, to great arched portal.
One rap, the ancient barrier fell away, and
behold all the pagan splendor of Haroun~
al-haschid was suddenly revealed. Lofty
and sumptuous apartments stretching
away, one after another, fitted with
gorgeous AuSot ShA POpD Va IA tSOAOso
beauty screening the walls. card tables set
here and there, with those tiny tables OF be-
loved memory heaped with crystal comlts.
There were present fifty men in eastern
dress, and four women in oll-three Eu-
ropeans aud tho Armenian hostess. The
men played CARDS diligently, their i'm
passive faces gniltiess OF expression,
while the strange women wandered
about examining the many Oriental treas
ures Of the vast rooms. It was not until
the Ame ,an mademoiselle approached a
great divan OF glowing colors and pro-
ceeded to seat herself that this curious en-
tertainment became at all livened. Draw
ing her skirts primly about her, she sat
gingerly upon the very edge, with two neat
little toes carefully balanced TO touch the
floor. Then the young Creeks dignity was
lost in amusement; he laughed. and begged
permission to give few lessons in the art
of using a couch. "Sit on your foot, he
commanded: "curl it comfortably uu-
der you. So Now be seated, far
