Little Mistress Josephine:
Tell me. have you ever seen
Children holf as queer as these
Babies from across the seas?
See their funny little fists,
See the rings upon their wrists;
one has very little clothes.
One has jewels in her nose;
And they ali have silver bangles
on their little heather ankles.
In their ears are curious things,
Round their necks are beads in strings
And they jingle as they walk,
And they talk ouUandish talk.
One, you see, has bugged another,
Playing she's its little mother.
One. VINO sits all lone and lorn,
Has her head all shaved and shorn.
DO you want to know their names?
One is called Jeefungee Hames,
One Buddhanda Arrich Bas.
One Teedundeo Hanh Sas.
Many such as these ! saw
In the streets of old Jegpore.
They never seem to cry or laugh.
But, sober as the photograph,
Squatted IN the great bazaars,
While the Hindoos their mamas,
QuaTelled long about the price
OF their little mess Of rice:
And then, when the fight was done.
Every mother, one by one.
Up her patient child would whip,
Set IL straddling on her hip.
And trot OFF all crook'd and bent
To some hole where, well content,
Hers and baby's days are spent.
Aren't you glad then. little Queen,
That your name is Josephine?
That you live in Springfield, or
Not, at least, In old Jeypore?
That your Christian parents are
John and Hattie, Pa and Mar
That you've an entire nose
And no rings upon your toes?
In word. that Hat and YOU
DO not have TO be Hindoo2

What these little heather be,
And give welcome 10 these three

Racing For O Fence In battle.

At the battle Of Chickamauga the Fed
eral General Wood, commanding division,
was left for u time by some blunder with
only brigade at hand. He could see the
Confederate battle lines advancing to flank
the Federal army. Between hm and them,
crossing the center OF valley, WAS stone
and log fence. Wood suddenly realized
that IL he could secure and hold the fence
he could make his inferior force match
for the enemy preparing to move. The
Confederate commander saw the value of
the position at the same moment, and it
was question Of which side should get
there first. On the Federal side IL rested
with the One Hundred and Twenty-flfth
Ohio, that regiment being nearest the fence
When ordered forward, the men gripped
their muskets at Il trail" pulled down
their caps and lowered their heads, and at
the word they rushed as if breasting hall
storm. More than one poor fellow went
down under the rain Of bullets and frag-
ments Of shell, but the fence was reached
and cover obtained. The Sixty fourth. Six
ty-fifth and Fifty-eighth Indiana followed,
and the whole brigade were scarcely under
cover when the Confederates were within
q stones throw. They had to give back be
fore the terrific fire, and for time were
badly demoralized. Before they could flank
Wood out of his position the gap In tho
Federal lines had been flled.-Cincinnati
