But who so will read his sonnets on

recognize what strong, rugged fire
burns in his soul. He is more of stu

England never saw a stranger appa-
rition in literature than when the star
of Algernon Swinburne first swung into
its ken. With a long line of aristocratic
ancestors, Swinburne had the least of
| hereditary influence in making hiId
| into the born revolutionist that he was.
His father was the Admiral Swinburne
known to history. If not rich, his
| estates were ample, and he had leisure
to travel and study as he liked.
| He left Oxford before he had taken
his degree, owing to some dis
agreement with the authorities of the
college. He had already written some
poetry, and he sought Walter Savage
Landour in the latters retirement in
/ Italy. 1t was not likely that at the
| feet of this great and much misunder-
stood poet, who had quilted England
because he could not live in country
which had so little appreciation of
beauty, that young Swinburne was apt
| to have his radical notions curbed.
But it is through his thrilling ''Songs
Before Sunrise" that Swinburne re-
vealed the ardent revolutionary spirit
which possessed him. 1t is dead soul
who can read these stirring poems
with an unnoved pulse. They throb

rany a passionate thirst for freedom
and hatred of oppression which rank
them with the finest specimens of revo-
lutionary verse in the language. Swim
burne was in his youth strongly
tempted to become radical in politics
as he was in verse, and he was at one
time contemplating standing for par
lament as an ultra-liberal As mat
tiers then stood he would unquestion-
ably have been elected. But it is
probable that England and literature
have been the gamers rather than the
losers by his decision to follow litera-
ture alone.
In America, perhaps, the foremost
champion of socialism among literary
men at the present time is William
Dean Howells. The novelist's en-
trance into the field of economics,
holding lance for an unpopular doc
trine, has been the cause of much sur
prise and mystification to his friends
and admirers. Yet no one could have
read his novels, and particularly such
as "a Hazard of New Fortunes" and
'Silas Lapham, and even such a minor
story as The World of Chance, with
out realizing that the novelist had
long been a serious student of such
questions.
Mr.. Howells chose to present
his philosophy to the public in
a garb of fiction. "A Traveller from
Altruria, and the sequel, Letters of
an Altrurian Traveller" bear very
very strong resemblance to the
| "Utopia" of Sir Thomas Moore, the
atlantis" of Bacon and the "Repub-
lie" of Plato. 1t is worthy of note
that though the word ''Utopian" has
come to be synonymous with
chimerical dreams practically all

sey and, perhaps, Walter Besant, and
many others less known to fame.
There is hardly figure among all
whom have named that is lacking in
the elements of the picturesque. OF a
particular group of them there is a
curious thread of history. Back, per-
haps twenty years ago, two young men,
with very radical ideas about art, went
one day to paint some frescoes at Ok
ford. One of them bore the strange
name of Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The
other was BurneJones. While they
were at work young man with a
shock of fiery red hair, "a broad, pale
brow and diminutive frame came to
watch them. He was young poet
with the soul of a Greek. He had not
then publised 'Laus Veneris." This
was the beginning of the fam
Gus preRaphaelite school. The
three young men, Rossetti, Burne-
Jones and Swineburne, were afterward
joined by Rossettis brother and sister,
by William Morris, George Meredith
and Millais, and together they revolu-
tionized English ideas about art, and,
perhaps, literature as well. Dante
Rossetti is now dead. During his life
the school almost entirely confined its
energies to art and literature. Later,
after his death, it developed radical
political tendencies. It's present lead
ers are Morris and William Rosetti.
William Michael Rossetti has lived a
very retired and unobtrusive life. He
has written much in praise and appre-
citation of other artists, so that his o Nn

Value of Military Disc pline.

A Pennsylvania regiment, when it
first joined, had excited the commits
Grafton of the veteran organizations
of the brigade to which it was as
signed, because it's colonel kept them
standing in line so long when halted
at the end of each days march, throw
ing out markers, and compelling each
restless soldier and impatient officer
to ''toe the mark" until the align
ment was perfect enough to suit him,
writes Colonel A. III. Nickerson in
Blue and Gray. Other troops gath
cred in the fuel and such camp per-
auisites as were in sight; still he
would not oreak his ranks and allow
his men to go until each company
front was an absolutely straight line.
On the day of the battle, when the
brigade to which this regiment be-
longed moved in to line of battle and
opened fire on the enemy the position
that fell to this regiment was con-
spicuous one on the side of gentle
slope that fell off toward the Sunken
road. Here the coloners line was
formed, just as rigidly correct as it
had been at the close of each days
march. And there. too, these men
stood and stayed. The brave colonel
was killed; officers and men were
falling like autumn leaves all along
the line, and yet dressed on the CEN
ter" where their colors were flying,
just as they had been taught to do at
the close of each days march, and,
this, too, comprising about all the
''drills they had ever had, they had
continued to load and fire as regular
ly as if at target practice-a striking
evidence of the effect of even a little
discipline, and an example of heroism
worthy of the best and bravest.

How He Got His Thanksgiving Dinner

How He Got His Thanksgiving Dinner.
A company of Scared war veterans
had gathered on Thanksgiving night
a glorious reunion. Baked hams, cof-
fee and turkey sandwiches were cir
culating briskly; "reminiscences of the
terrible war and tales of glory and
hardship were the order of the even
ing. All hearts grew tender and
many voices were husky with feeling
as the old soldiers recounted their ex-
periences.
Suddenly an old, white haired man,
clad in tattercd garments, darted past
the door keeper into the hall, and
flung himself sobbing, upon the COM
mander's neck.
"Prisou-down South - tfering-
three years. he exclaimed, in a par
oxysm of emotion.
What" cried the commander, IAN
other old veteran? Welcome, COM
rade, to our humble feast"
An eager group gathered about him
and dozen questions were asked.
What year?"
''What company"
'Llbby?"
"Andersonville?'
"Castle Thunder?"
The old hero waved his hand males
tically and said, as distinctly as he
could:
"How can recall the awful tale?
My bleeding heart shrinks from re-
opening it's wounds. Let the bene-
diction of peace flood our weary souls
with rest. I am an emotional old
man."
"You are right" said the com
mander, deeply touched by the vet
GRAMS words. Let JOY rule this
happy hour. Sit down and partake
with us"
They brought him refre shments,
which he seemed to appreciate im-
mensely, and treated him as their
most honored guest. He adjusted
himself around four plates of beans,
| two pieces of pie and five cups of
coffee and then fell to work steadily
on the sandwiches.
| no" SWEEP, Sdlu lie at leUPJH,
"to meet thus, linked by the indis-
soluble b onds of fraternal love! All!
how it fills my heart-and stomach!
Excuse me if l wipe away a happy
tear. / am an emotional old man."
All sat in reverent silence before
the hero, until he commenced on his
twenty seventh sandwich. Then the
commander, whose heart was over
flowing with sympathy, asked in pity:
"And did they treat you harshly in
those rebel prisons?"
What rebel prisons?" asked the
veteran.
Ibid you not say you were in a
southern prison?"
"Oh, yes. only got out last year
got three years down in Texas for
borrowing mule. 1t makes me
tired, now, to think of it. / am an

The corporal tried to strike him
and the commander tried to trip him
and the door-keeper tried to grab
him; but he slipped from the hall like
bullet from gun, and the thought
of the way in which he beguiled
them rendered the entire company
emotional in the highest degree

Leave Taking at the Station.

A squad of soldier boys was about
to set off for the seat of war. At the
station large crowd of friends had
gathered, and there was the usual
amount of kissing, weeping, embrac-
ing and leave-taking. A loud-voiced
man was entertaining group Of
ladies with his conversation, and he
remarked. as one of the soldiers
sweet little wives was passing, IF
was going to the war, and any of my
friends should come down to the
station to see me off, ! would shoot
them" The little woman looked up.

Logan at Atlanta.

said Cap tain John r. Thomas. who
represents his old district, "but that
call to mind that memorable occa-
sion which made h i'm immortal in the
hearts of the Union veterans of the
late war. 1t was before Atlanta, in
the midst of great battle. Like
wild fire the news had flown from
mouth to mouth that General Nc
Pherson was killed Dismay was de-
picted on every countenance, and de-
feat seemed inevitable.
1.-THE retreat had already begun,
when suddenly Loga n, who was sec
ond in command, came galloping
down the ranks like man of iron.
will never forget him as he looked
that 22nd day of July, 1864. Seated
on a coal b ack horse with head and
shoulders erect, he was the most gal
liant and picturesque specimen of a
soldier | ever saw.
'As he galloped down the ranks at
full speed, his flashing eyes gathered
in every detail of the battle, and his
stcntorian voice rallied the army
corps from retreat to the charge. His
eyes literally blazed as he dashed to
the front, and to me the title OF
Black Eagle bestowed on him on
that occasion has alw avs seemed O
most appropriate one.
His men caught the inspiration
that only such an impetuous man as
Logan could have created then, and
history tells how that battle was
changed from humili ating defeat to Q
great victory for the Union cause
