abound. When the waters are highest,

they are not so common along the river

to move, there is a great rafting Of
scales as they hustle each other to

Twas the morning after Shiloh,
Way down in Tennessee,
was cruisin' round among the woods
friend Of mine and me,
When seed a little maiden
Who vas settin' on gun,
That was busted at the nozzle
From the work that it had DONE
She had throw'd bit Of banner
Acrost her golden head,
An when asked her for her name,
She laughed and then she said:
my name is Rhoda Raglan,
An I'm waitin', don't you see,
For pappy - ar to come back here,
VIII sompen good for me-"
1--WE was Twin in the cabin,
In the clarin' over thar,
Whar the little cli:k went rattlin' By
So sparklin an so clar.
But now the waters muddy,
An it's bloody, an the banks
Is trampled, an my posies
Is jest ruined by them Yanks.
"My pappy was shootin'
For the southern side, you see,
An its strange that he don't come back her,
VIII sompen good for me.
I'm gettin' jest as hawngry
AS I've hardly ever been,
An the way my pappy stays away
Is mighty nigh sin.
'Our cabins full Of hurried men,
They groaned the worstest way
They was hurted in the battle
With we uns yesterday
An ther arms an legs bleedin',
1t was SIGH er awful sight,
! didn't sleep little wink
The live long night
$50 I've come, good Mr.. Yankee,
TO wait for pappy here,
My mother went away to God,

An we was Twin all alone
In the cabin over thar,
An why he don't come back to me

just like this battle waif,
And now thanked the Lord above
That they were well and safe
minnie ball had pierced my arm,
That lay now in u sling,
The hurt was just a f1esh-cut,
An the pain smartish thing,
But had got it fairly
An well enough knew.
The helpless arm would take me home
Within day or two.
So plead with Rhoda Raglan
To 60 along with me,
An maybe we would find her pap
Somewhat in Tennessee.
An yet know'd her father
Was away beyond LIES ills,
SO tuck her to Kentucky
TO my home among the hills.
We raised her jest as good an true,
AS CT shed been our own,
Blood Of mine and mothers,
And bone Of our bone.
An she's been as good a daughter
AS any Of the three,
An blessing to my homestead,
An to mother an to me-
She's thirty-six, or Whereabouts,
can't exactly tell
But she married in the neighborhoo,.,
And married monstrous we'll;
An she's got a little daughter,
That prattles at my knee,
An minds me heaps of Rhoda
Down at Shiloh-don't you see.

and the city of Cissa, and the ecclesi-

LEILA for the years $40 to 626 A. D. men,

that time we have no record of the
place or what became of it. Fishermen
have long contended that they know of
a place on the Istrian coast of the Adri-
attic sea, south of the Rovigno light
house, where their nets get tangled on
the spires of sunken churches and other
public buildings of a city long since
submerged. In January, 1890, the Aus
trian Imperial Academy of Sciences
sent convoy of boats and ships under
Rear Admiral Hinke with instructions
to make a thorough examination of the
spot designated by the fishermen. The
diver who made the descent says: 'On
