Some curious experiments have re-
certify been made with the new tents
which the German soldiers carry with
them. The end in view is to make the
tents, or rather their cloth, serve to
construct ferry boats for the soldiers
baggage. To swim a stream in full
accoutrement is not without danger
even for the best swimmers. In fu-
ture, however, the soldiers will be re-
lieved from this necessity by the fold
ing tents, which they will carry with
them. They will collect brushwood
and small branches with which to
weave light framework; the, tent cloth
will be unfolded, laid over the frame
work and fastened to it in such man
ner that the water cannot pass through.
The men will then strip and put all
their baggage and accoutrements into
the sail-cloth ferry boats, which will
effectually preserve them from getting
wet. The soldiers then swim across,
pushing the ferryboats before them, so
that they will reach the opposite shore
with all their belongings dry. These
experiments have been made on a large
scale by the pioneers on their recently
terminated autumn exercises, and have
led to very favorable results, both as
to the time required and the trouble
cccasioned by the transformation

A SONG OF CHEER.

There are many will tell youi 1.-The best has
been done;
There is nothing worth striving for under the
sum-
There's no hope for achievement when all Of
the past
Is pitted against you-an army so vast,
Overwhelming in numbers and deeds of renown,
1t were foolish TO struggle and wise TO lie
down.
But turn deaf ear when these croakers come
near:
Keep steadily at it and be Of good cheer.
''1he height you can climb TO is nothing at all
So why make the effort and risk the rude fallY"
Oh, take but ore breath of that sweet mountain
air
And having inhaled IL you'll never despair
But striving still upward and onward each day,
1.-The labor, love it" at last you will say.
Then turn deaf ear when the croakers come
near;
With face toward the summit, oh, be of good
cheerl
Think not for moment all songs have been
sung!
There are sorrows and joys that have never
found tongue
There are hearts to-day waiting the message
you bring;
They listen for songs that you only sing!
So think not of Shakespeare or Milton CT
Burns,
But sing as they sung, make your sweetest re-
turns,
And turn deaf ear when the croakers appear;
5 ug life as you live it and be of good cheer

the count still knew where TO find
Marianita. i never met them in each
others company again, It's true, but
my heart was full of ominous misgiv-
ings. Three days before the wedding
day hurried to my sweet ones home,
to find no one but her aged father sit
ting gloomily before the hearth.
Forget that you knew her, Pep
pino,' said he. She is not worthy of
you. She went away during the night,
and we do not even know where she
has gone. All her belongings are here,
and she has taken nothing with her but
my curse.
MY heart was filed with bitterness.
| went away, and drove my goats up
into the mountains as l had always
done. Every night l hung around the
counts palace for more than a year, but
his servants informed me that the sig
nor had gone away.
when he returned, he came alone;
Marianita was not with him. / met
him several times, in the fields and on
the country roads, and he, too, recog-
nized me. But he was never alone.
He was exceedingly cautious, and re-
Trained from hunting through the
woods, as had been his custom for
merly. l always greeted him politely,
and wore a smiling countenance, as if
had forgotten his treachery, and the
sorrow it had caused me.
SIN course of time the counts fears
were allayed. He was afraid of me no
longer, and resumed his old habit OF
riding through the country. Ere long,
too, he roamed again in the shadowy
avenues of his park.
1.-TWO years had gone by since Mari
anita's disappearance. One evening
came upon him in the same spot, where
he had given me his solemn pledge,
not to see her again.
''Above us expanded the same blue
sky; the same soft breezes played with
the leaves of the plane-trees, and moth
ing but the mournful cry of an owl,
nesting in the ruins of an old pagan
temple not far away, disturbed the
profound silence. The count recog-
nized me at once, but this time, ere he
could take to flight, l clutched his
throat and-buried my knife in his
treacherous heart"

There came a day, when the count
rode by Marianita's humble hut on his
return from the chase. He saw her
coming from the we'll, carrying jug
on her head. Her sight was pleasing
to his blase eye, and, alighting from
his horse. he asked her for a drink of
water. Marianita chatted with him.

had met SO rich and grand a gentle

poured into her ear soft, caressing
