ROSEBERRY, the famous

RosEBERRY, the famous jumping
horse. died in Chicago of injuries re-
ceived in an attempt made to clear a
bar feet 81 inches high. His record
was I feet s. inches. The pathos of
Roseberry's death will perhaps lead
to considerable talk Of the cruelty of
forcing dumb animals to tests of
agility and speed. But in such a
case as this the eXtenuation is almost
adequate. If the performances of
the animals were perfunctory the
cruelty would be obvious, but the
race horse loves the track even better
than the jockey, and it is not forced
supposition that Roseberry had a
consciousness of the feat which he
attempted and strong delight in
the attempt, and was, all in all. as
free moral agent in the matter as
his rider. Men are committing sui
eide every day in wild struggle to
accomplish the impossible. There
may be stronger pathos in the death
of a horse under similar circum-
stances. but the principal reasons for
this arc the uniqueness of the event
and the fact that the beast has no
tongue with which TO describe the
humiliation Of his defeat Or the agony
of his last hours.

my regiment, Sixth Virginia, had turned
their horses out the evening before, so
that not more than fifty OF us were pre-

These fifty men were quickly mounted,

order out OF confusion, and made such
admirable dispositions that he secured
the ridge and held it. AS he was iunio,

that was in many of the severeSt en-
gagements of the war.
It is o fact worthy of note that after
the lapse of quarter of Il century eight
members of his own company were pres
emit at his burial who had supposed him
dead twenty-five years ago.
The facts in the case are these: On
the afternoon Of the first day of the
battle of the Wilderness the lower part
of his jaw was shot away, making d
frightful wound. A member of his COM
pany, Mr.. W. S. Rand, who now lives in
Acknowledged him to the rear, where.
after doing what he could do for him, he
left him, never expecting to see him
alive again. Fer three days he lay
there before receiving any further care.
When at last the fighting ceased the
Union forces had advanced and the enemy
were in possession of the field where our
dead and wounded lay. They turned
the wounded prisoners over to the Union
surgeons. Mr.. Hall, with the others,
was carried to the field hospital, and
there for three days more he remained
before anything was done for his wound.
His case was considered hopeless, and
the surgeons, whose hands were more
than full. gave their attention to saving
those who were less severely injured.
On the sixth day Mr. Hall told story
which enlisted the attention of the sur
geon. 1t was about a man who was
very slow to learn; he could not master
the mysteries OF the drill The Captain
put him in the awkward squad and
taught him by count-one, two, one,
two. When they went into battle one
day and were repulsed and turned to
run this man threw away his musket
and exclaimed There, Captain, where
is your one, two, now?" The doctor,
when he heard the story, declared he
would dress his wounds, for man who
in his condition could tell such a story
must live. For fourteen days nothing
passed his lips save coffee A friend
a comrade--who recognized him by an
old scar on his face, did what he could
to minister to him in the improvised
hospital, which had few conveniences.
At Fredericksburg he was given a can
Of corned beef. This was the first solid
food he had received from the day he
was wounded. He could not masticate
it. He managed, however, to swallow
it bit by bit. He lived, but the man
who entered his country's service
strong, robust, weighing, 100 pounds,
came home broken down, to suffer more
or less tor the remainder of his life. His
death was no doubt due Indirectly to the
wound he received on the 5th day of
May, 1864. This wound interfered with
the proper mastication of his food. This
induced chronic stomach trouble, which
assumed somewhat acute form in his
last sickness.

CHAPTER liz.

Mary Willard had no recollection of
either mother or father. The one early
event which had impressed itself upon
her memory was the death of her grand
mother.
She often recalled with painful vivid
ness her grandfather's passionate grief,
and the bitter cry with which he had
clasped her to his heart:
You are all 1 have in the world,
Mary"
She was but seven years old when
they came to live in the old house in the
quiet New York village.
Contentedly buried, Mr.. Willard
devoted himself to his books, and APP
parently cared nothing for the world
which circled round the changeless
habits of his daily life. Mary's delight,
however, knew no bounds. The beauty
of life is irrepressible, and her heart was
open to its faintest impression.
I'VE must call it Robins Rest" she
declared; "the trees are literally alive
with robins. Oh, grandpa, shall be so
happy here.
And certainly she was happy as the
violet in the shadow of the wildwood, or
the birds who sang in the trees around
here.
Her education, so far as books went,
was gained from her grandfather, though
the task OF studying was not one to
which she took kindly.
She learned more readily from nature
itself Her powers of observation were
quickened and sharpened, and the very
solitariness OF her life gave a warmer
tone to her imagination.
But what her grandfather regretted
most deeply was her lack of friends, or
friends of her own age and condition,
