FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
DO YOU KNOW hER7

rhnvo little friend who doesn't like to mend,
To dust or set the table, or oven make a.bcd
The very thought OF sweeping nearly sets her
OF a-wocping,
And she always goes about 1t Us though her
feet worc load.
She "hates" to rock tho baby, and says that
somc day, maybe,
She'll go away and linger whore they have no
babies round
To keep folks busy roclSing-but really this Is
shocking,
And she doesn't mean word of what she
says, will be bound.
'Tls trpe she cannot boar to even walk .
square,
To buy spool of cotton, or stamps for NAM
mas mall
And it's much against her wishes that she's
set to washing dishes,
While to spsat Of darning stockings is enough
to make her pale.
In fact. she wants to shirt everything resem-
bling work,
And the only thing she does enjoy, so far as
1 can say.
Is to tako her doll and books, and within some
quiet nook
To read OF elves and fairies, and dream the
hours away.

HELD HIM THROUGH TIE LONG NIGHT.
His youngest brother was there, boy
in delicate health, who had been
carried away from the old homestead
by soldiers for some reason, and
lodged in this open-air prison, with
nothing to protect him from the
weather but an old shawl which his
mother had wrapped about him.
1t was n strange meeting for the
brothers, who had been separated for
u long time. Both were prisoners, one
by the fortunes of war, and the other
in consequence of suspicion or of wan
ton barbarity.
The night was bitterly cold, and
there was u snowfall. The stocleade
was forty feet in diameter, and there
was no fire. The officer wrapped his
overcoat around the sick boy, and,
muffiing him up in the shawl, held him
through the long night in his arms.
When daylight came they were sepa-
rated. The officer was taken to Wash
ington and put into the Old Capitol
prison, where he remained until the
end of the war. The sick boy was con-
veyed to Alexandria, where he died in
the common jail without friend near
him.
That one night in the binding snow
storm was the last that they spent to
gether, and the memory of it brings n
shudder of horror to the veteran even
to this day.
The pathos of such story as this
may help a younger generation to re-
alize how heartrending and barbarous
war invariably is.-Youth's Compan-
ion

The Other Lee.

The visit of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has
started n story which he told about
himself several years ago, and which
is good illustration of the love the
confederate soldiers bore toward Gen.
Robert L. Lee. AS is well known, Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee was at the head of the
cavalry, and these were much envied
by the infantry men, who had to walk
through the mud and dust.
After Gen. Robert E. Lee had sur
rendered Gen. Fitzhugh Lee rode away
from Appomattox. While riding
through u lane he met an old North
Carolina soldier.
"Ho, thcre!" cried Gen. Lee, where
are you going?"
I've been off on a furlough and am
now going back to join Gen. Bob Lee"
replied the old soldier.
You needn't go back, but can
throw your gun away and return home,
for Lees surrendered.
Lees surrendered?"
That's what said" said Gen. Lee.
ut must have been Fitz Lee, then
Bob Lee would never surrender" and
the soldier put on n look of contempt
and walked on.-Louisville Courier
Journal.

Really Remnrlsablc Discovery.

Nature has beautiful habit of
adapting herself to difficulties and
weakness, whenever that is possible. If
she is chollcd and hindercd in one direc-
ton, she tries to become more vigorous
in another. An English author says
that man Of middle age, with whom
he is acquainted, found one of his eyes
affected, as he thought, by reading
small print at night, and applied to a
famous oculist for advice. The doctor
examined him very carefully, and
presently inquired whether he had
ever suffered any Inconvenience from
the other eye, the right one.
"Nonc whatever" was the reply.
'Still," said the oculist, dryly, ''it is
very important for you to preserve the
sight of your left eye, inasmuch as you
have never seen with the other since
you were bornn

A Cows Peculiar Devotion.

Down in Georgia lives a very pecul-
lar black COW. She is very much at
tached TO her masters children-so
much so that she is never willingly sepa-
rated from them. If the children ara
at home, the COW will stay in a pas
ture with a fence three feet high; but
if they go away the COW will throw
down even high fences to follow them.
At different times when the COW would
be in the pasture the farmer hassipped
the children away from home, but
when she missed them she would get
out and track them as dog would dc
until she found them, and thcn follow
wherever they went.

they came slowly back W us-came by
panies-and they came weeping--al-
most every man. Some sobbed like
children others wiped tears from
their checks and uttered no sound
They had trodden upon the dead and
woundcd-they had been scorchcd by
fire and sprinlSlcd with blood. They
had done their best.-none could have
done bettcr-but victory was not for
them. They did not mutter, nor curse,
norinvcigh. They passed through the
battle lines and sat down, and grieved,
and wept, and cared not who saw
them. Capt. Dale, in Detroit Free

one of these spiders in the path, q
large, hairy, black fellow, that had an
ugly look. l stopped downand touched
him with my pencil, when he sat up
on his hind legs, opened his jaws and
was ready to fight. L touched him
again, when he seized the pencil with
his fangs and left two minute drops of
poison where they had touched it. His
bite would, no doubt, have been u very
painful one. The spider springs upon
his prey, like wolf, drags it to some
cover, and devours it. L have seen one
kill and drag away very small toad.
l think it is the wolf spider that digs
hole or gallery in the ground eight
or ten inches deep, from which he
sallies forth in search of victims. The
top of his hole is lined with silk to keep
the earth from caving in. One day,
while walking through field, 1
chnnced to see one of these holes in
the ground. looked into it and saw
two bright, cleaning points in the
darkness at the bottom. They were
the eyes of the spider. A few days
later l walked that way again. 1
stopped and looked in the hole, but saw
no cleaning eyes. Looking closely on
the ground about the entrance, l saw
fragments of the dismenbered body of
the spider. Some enemy, some fercer
wolf, had caught the spider at his door,
or had dragged him forth from his
cave, and devoured him by his own
doorstep
The most pleasing spider to contem-
plate is the little spider that rides upon
the wind, the flying spider. 1t mounts
some post or other object, shoots out
flament from its body, which floats
out upon the air, till presently it is
buoyant enough to lift the little spinner

Especial Washington Letter |

There is undoubtedly growing ambi-

government offices. The civil service
commission files are full of applica-
tions, and there are upwards of twenty
persons who, pass rigid examinations
for these places for every official posi-
tion within the classified list. In spite
of the law upon the subject the various
candidates file recommendations from
the politicians who are great men in
their own counties, but who are IN
known in Washington and of no con-
sequence in the eyes of the department
favors.
The positions which arc filed by the
president are comparatively few. His

A Pathetic Incident of tho Struggle for
Southern Independence.

Pathetic Incident of tho Struggle for
Southern Independence.
During the last year of the civil war
Virginian officer, who had entered
the southern army at sixteen, and
fought gallantly in all the campaigns
in his native state, was taken prisoner
In skirmish. He was conducted to
the headquarters Of Ten. Meade, near
Culpeper court house, and then tenn
porarily confined in what was known
as bull-pen. This was an open
stociade, made of split pines, twenty
feet long, set upright in the ground.
This stockade was not more than
twenty-five miles from the homestead
where his mother had lived before the
war. The farm itself had been aban-
doncd, but the family had occupied
the house about the time of the
slSirmish.
The officer thought of his old home
when he entered the stoclsade, but he
was not prepared to meet one of his
own family in such a place of confine-

with. But you might as well say that
in our cities, towns and villages wa
should do away with our entertain
ments of our friends. If John Jones
and his wife want to invite John Smith
and his wife to dine with them, or give
a party for their children, they have a
right to do so, and will continue to do
sc. forever.
Well, when the French minister and
the British minister, and the ministers
of other countries, invite our diplo-
matte Representatives to state dinners,
those invitations must be accepted; and
our ministers and ambassadors must
give similar entertainments in return.
1t is the custom of the civilized world,
and we must comply with those GUS
toms or else give up diplomatic rcla-
tions with other nations, which is i'm
possible.
AT these great entertainments the
ladies belonging to the families Of our
foreign ministers must dress as the
wives and daughters of other ministers
dress. No lady can appear on such an
occasion in any gown costing less than
$500 without appearing to be n cheap
person from a cheap nation. On great
occasions the ladies must be dressed in
attire entirely new, and which has
never been worn before.
When james Buchanan was minister
to Great Britain he was requested 20
appear at the opening of parliament
with gold lace and insignia of rank.
He was told by the master of ccre-
monies that the queen would expect It
of him. Thcrcupon Mr.. buchanan abb
sentcd himself from the opening of
parliament, and great international
stir was made about it; but Mr..
Buchanan was indorsed by tho Amer
lean people in tho stand which he had
taken. Since then, while the ladies Of
the families of our ministers arc cx-
pensivcly dressed, tho American min
isters themselves are not expected to
wear any regalia or insignia of rank.
They appear in the plain evening dress
costume which prevails in polite So
ciety in this republic.

purposes from all other importanv
powers, and necessarily courtcsies had
to be exchanged.
The officers of the American ships
were entertained on board those of each
foreign government, and balls and
dinner parties had to be given in re-
turn. This meant great cost, all Of
which had to be betrayed out of the
private purses of the United States
officers, some of whom were compelled
on this account to mortgage their
meager salaries for year or two in ad-
vance to meet these international OBJ
legations. For the expenses of this
sort incurred by the foreigners their
home government paid as matter of
course. 1t tseemedg however, to be con-
sidered part of tho United States
officers duty to set up the wine and re-
freshments on the semi-public occasions
in question. So it is always. These
foreigners, too are used to the very best
nnd most expensive wines and cigars,
and the officers of the American navy
cannot decently return their hospitality
with inferior entertainment. 1t is un-
fortunate that international customs
nre so expensive; but we must take
facts as we find them. We should have
national pride in maintaining our part
of comfy, without taxing our public
servants. If we can't dress and live as
other nations do, we should fall to the
rear and make no pretensions.
John C. New, of Indiana, the strong
and warm political friend of President
Harrison, declined tho position of envoy
extraordinary and minister plenipo-
tentiary to Great Britain, and accepted
the secondary position of consul gem
eral, because the more honorable posi-
ton would have paid but S17,500 per
annum, and the expenses amount to
more than $4,000 dollars year. He
preferred to be made consul general to
England, because there was money in
the latter office, whereas to be minister
would have ruined him. For, pray, re-
member, the consul generalship at Lon
don is worth something like s40,0
year, without any of the expensive So
cial obligations which devolvc upon
minister at court. Mr.. New would
have preferred the greater office, but
he could not afford to take it. Robert
t. Lincoln was made minister to Great
Britain, and he suffered financially.
Mr.. New saved nearly 100000 during
his four years as consul general.
While our ambassador to Great Brit
ain is obliged to live on n comparatively
small salary, and pay for the expenses
of public entertainments out of his own
pocket, the British ambassador to this
country has a salary of $4,000 per an
mum, handsome residence which be-
longs to his government, and liberal
allowance for the expenses of state en-
tertainmcnts. Some of our people, inn
bued with Jeffersonian simplicity, will
be inclined to say that these expensive
entertainments might Be dispensed

which IS not always the case with the
various races of old India. Some of the
little Burmese girls are very pretty
and very graceful. They are fond of
many trinliets, and, though shy in
their manner, they easily become ac-
quainted with strangers when the lat
ter are lavish enough in their gifts of
pretty things.
All Burmese boys are educated in the
Buddhist monasteries, but it has not
hitherto been thought necessary to
teach the girls moro than to read and
write. To be pretty, to be religious, to
be amiable and gay-hearted, and to
have good business instinct is all that
Is demanded of a girl in Burma; pres
emily, when she comes to learn the ad-
vantages which education confers in
dealing with the foreigner, she will
doubtless demand it as her right
To be pretty and to charm is
her aim, and few things human
are more charming than a group
of Burmese girls going up to the
pagoda to worship at festival. With
her rainbow.tinted silk tamein fastened
tightly round her slender figure, her
spotlessly clean short jacket modestly
covering the bosom, and with her
abundant black tresses smoothly coiled
on to the top of her head, in the bra.ds
of which swcet-smelling flowers are
stuck, the Burmese girl knows fun we'll
she is an object to be admired. Per-
fectly well pleased with herself, and
contented with her world as it is, she
gayly laughs and chats with her COM
panions.
Burmese mamnas have some sweet
songs with which they lull their baby
boys aad girls to sleep. One of the
pretticst of these is given below. These
verses are translated by Shway Yeo, a
learned native poet; sec how dainty
they are:
Sweet, my babo, your fathers coming,
Rest and hear the songs I'm hrmming;
He will como and gently tend you,
Rock your cot, and sGfo dofend you;
Mothers setting out his dinner
Oh, you naughty little sinner!
What yell from such o wee thing.
Couldn't be worse II YOU were tccthingl
My sweet round mass OF gold
Now pray do what You're told.
Do quiet and good
AS nice boys should.
o, now please,
Do not tease,
Do be good,
AS babies should
Ah, yes, Burma is happy land, and
its people are all gay and honest, and
sober, and the sunlight is warm and
strong in their land, oven as their bodies
are strong and their hearts warm.-N.

BURMESE CHILDREN.

Tho Happy Boys and Girls OF a Quaint
Old Country.
You can find Burma very easily by
consulting your school geography, if
you don't know exactly where it is To-
Gated. Finding the map of India, you
will notice that this strange, interest
ing country s bordered on one side by
the Chinese lands and on the other by
the country of the Hindus. The thing
that will most interest our readers is
the fact that the Burmese children are
among the happiest youngsters of
earth.
They live in gorgeous country, and
their mothers are held in great respect,

A GREAT SHEET OF FLAME BURST FORTH.
appeared to reach halfway to tho tree
tops, burst forth and rose up, and then
our lines went down. They did not
bend or break or retreat, but four men
out of five pitched forward on their
faces and never rose again. The smoke
cloud hung low for two or three min
utes When it lifted the confederates
found no one to fire at.
At the curve of the horseshoe Lee
had placed n battery for point-blans
Gre of grape and canister. Back on
the main lines were others to make a
cross-fre. In the salient the infantry
covered every inch of the ground, and
their muskets were pointed between
the logs to fire. Had the nature of the
ground permitted whole divisions to be
thrown against the confederate wings
the center must have gone, but it was
not so. Grant must win or lose in the
center, and from being the one weak
spot it had become an impregnable
position. 1t was horrible sight to
see so many dead and so few living as
tho remnant retreated, but no time
was given the confederates to rest. A
fresh division was already up, and
when the lines sprang forward it
seemed as if nothing could check them.
1t was the same thing over again-a
great crash of muslsetry-the roar of
six or eight pieces Of artillery-the re-
treat of one ont of five alive.
-Four different times that horseshoe
was charged by men who had no fear
of death, and with little result every
time. Bushes had been cut down to
the roots by the bullets. Trees had
been denuded of their lower limbs or
cut in two by grape shot. The earth
itself was plowed and raked as If for a
crop, and hundreds of the dead had
been struck three and four times. In
that last repulse, when men realized
that the place could not be carried and
that thousands had died for naught,
