Twice Shot Throumh.

Lieutenant Muncie, of the Sixty
FIRST Georgia Regiment was a very
remarkable man. He was a slender,
cadaverous-looking man, with appar-
emily no physical strength, yet he
lived through what would have killed
a dozen ordinary men. and is alive to-
day. In the early part of the war he
was shot through and through. The
ball struck the breast bone and shat
tered it passed through his body
and came out within an inch of his
spine, between two ribs. After des-
perate struggle for life he recovered
and regained his regiment At the
battle Of Monnaccasie Creek he was
again wounded, the ball entering be-
tween the corresponding RIBS on the
other side of his spine, and issuing
from the same hole that the first en-
tered at The second shot must have
taken the passage inside Muncie's
body that the first ball made in going
in the opposite direction. He was in
prison later and appeared to suffer no
unusual pain. Chicago Herald.

WAITING.

How lonely it is to listen
For the steps hold so dear;
To fancy they've come
To their own loved home.
Yet never q sound to hear,
Save tho ceaseless beat of my anxious heart,
That throbs like "muffied bell;'
To reckon the time
By it's dreary chime
Is sadder than words can tell. sz s. .
Yet greater far the anguish
Had hope of their coming fled #

Has been my world since we we're wed.
Were he lying asleep among the dead,
Then life would be a shoreless sea,
And my shattered lark
Would Drift in the dark, .g
And soon be wrecked in misery!
But who can paint my rapture
When his steps are at the door?
And his kindly eyes
Light the midnight skies
With glory the sun never wore, -.
Then JOY awakes and sings in my heart,
While earth seems "a heaven below"

That exquisite bliss ..-- ~

Value of Pumpkins.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman gives some figures to prove
the value of pumpkins as a food for
stock. He tells of a friend who is a
thorough farmer and keeps dairy
Last year the September drouth found
him with ten fresh COWS and a search
ty OF pasture. He had fine crop OF
well-ripened pumpkins and for three
months he fed them regularly, feed
ing most of them in the barn-yard.
NO attention was made to taking out
the seeds but the COWS ate few of
them. as most of them fell out on
the ground and were eaten by three
hogs kept in the yard. The hogs got
their share of the pumpkins and when
eating them regularly would drink
mother swill nor water. When the
pumpkins were gone, it was necessary
to feed seven pecks of corn. ground
cob and all, per COW. He says:
MY friend estimates that his pump
kins saved 200 bushels of ears OF
corn. or $62 worth. A few were fed
before the main crop was drawn. but
40 top-box loads (the box holds so
bushels of apples) were put in one of
the feed passages of the barn base
ments and fed from there. This mans
estimate makes them worth about 81. SO
per load, a much higher value than is
commonly awarded to them.
Pumpkins matured very finely this
season, and were very ripe thick and

that pumpkins do not injure the
corn crop in which they grow. 1t is
possible that they take something
from the soil that would be used by
the succeeding crop, but this is diff
cult to determine. and in the absence
of definite knowledge on this point it
will be safe for dairymen to grow
pumpkins on the principle that a bird
in the hand is worth two in the bush.

1t is a good plan to SOW some mil

McNichol and Officer Lukens went ont

She expressed herself as willing TO come,

and came down to the station house,
accompanied by his entire family and

The chief had already obtained tho
watch from the girl, but she strenuously

the cook, white woman, had
taken it and given it to her TO
hide. She repeated the assertion
several times, but at last broke
down and confessed to having
