ALPENA WEEKLY ARGUS
MISCELLANEOUS.
THE SEASONS WAY.


Two happy birds In soft spring weather
Ghatted and chirped and hustled together.
Bringing hbrous tender roots,
long wisps OF hay and threadli like shoots
70 build a nest meath the old house caves
Close under the caves
Sunshine or storm-what matters weather,
With patience and love In nest together
Waiting and watching with tircless care,
With brave hearts beating TO do and dare
For nestlings to come meath the old hous'
eavesf
Hope under the caves
Hopo's sure fruition comes. And soon
The nest awakcns 10 cry and Groom
OF mother bird over her nesting three
Her mate as proud as "A bird can be-
Calling his happiness under the caves
Joy under the eaycs
But today as winds drift low from the west
Stirring threads OF the old brown nest
The faint air fragrant with late day scent,
With the years fruition rcdolent
What OF the nest meath the old house cayesi
Dearth under the caves!
Well builded II clings to tho old house wall.
No wind or storm can make II fall;
But life and Joy and love have gone
To o broader outlook. Low winds mourn
And murmur around II beneath the caves.
Bare under the eavesl
But watching II so, swift thought suggests
Next years mission OF empty nests.
When brave home seekers espy II there,
Well buidcd sheltered windswept and fair
Some other lives shall come meath the caves

firing into the air, the rascals were SO
well protected by their walls. This
fusillade lasted only about ten min
utes, but / shall remember it long
time.
However, it could not continue in
this way. The bugle sounded the
charge! Sapristil that music always
sends shiver of gayety through me.
Behold us running with fixed bayonets,
like mad men. But, as l had already
noticed, the gateway of the citadel
scarcely three meters wide; to enter
there we must climb that narrow
ascent and push in two by two under
terrible fire, and that, too, through a
palisade of bamboo which the rascals
had constructed TO bar the way, al
ready narrow enough. All, it was suf-
ficiently difficult without that cursed
bamboo, and God only knows what II
cost us. l saw my two lieutenants
fall, the adjutant of the battalion and
many others Impossible TO pass that
cursed bamboo. My captain ragged like
a demon. At last he commanded
"a section up there!"
This time it was serious, very Sc
rious; no time to hesitate; all who
climbed there were sure of certain
death. think the captain must have
retained some spite against Jacque, for
he turned to him and said
go up there, sir, and tear away that
bamboo"
1t is but justice to say he did not
wait to be told a second time. Touch
ing his cap, with "All right, my cap
tain," he started in a quick run. In
passing me he drew q. package of let
ters from his pocket.
'Take care of this for me, Bertrand, F"
and in the twinkling of an eye he was
up there with his section.

Of soldiers on fatigue duty. And all
the time the enemy was pouring upon
them a deadly fire, the balls whistling,
tearing the bamboo, blowing up the
ground, every now and then crushing
in shoulder, carrying away an arm
Or breaking leg. My God, what q

was angry, for you know it is no,
pleasant to make advances to anyone

mustache: "Well, he means to take
