a Romance Begun In the Thick OF the
Fight at Gettysburg.
cat Gettysburg, while the fight was
the HOTTEST said General Gordon, II
noticed handsome young Federal Off
Ger, whose bravery was conspicuous
After the battle had subsidized found this
gallant soldier lying On the field. He
was dying and begged me to send a
message to the Union lines. His wife
had decided to share with him the for
tunes of war and was at the officers
quarters in the Federal army.
II ordered my men to take the wound
ed officer to our camp and to make him
as comfortable as possible. Then sent
Union lines with the message from the
dying officer to his wife,
Late that night the party returned,
and the meeting Of the dying husband
and his young wife was the most affect
ing scene which I have ever witnessed
II was compelled to 60 elsewhere,
but before left the sorrowing couple
ascertained that the name of the wound
ed officer was Major Barlow Of New
York. I often thought of the sad incl
dent, which made upon lne one of the
most vivid impressions that received
in the war.
"Shortly afterward a cousin Of mine
whose name and initials We're The same
as mine was killed in battle.
'The war closed. Ten years afterward
I was with q distinguished gentleman
in New York who invited me to be
present at a dinner he was to give that
evening. Among the guests to whom I
was introduced was certain Major
Barlow. Isupposed that he was cousin
of the man whom had left dying on
the field at Gettysburg with his devoted
wife beside him.
I once knew Major Barlow,
said to my new acquaintance.
II once knew a General Gordon he
answered.
But the Major Barlow I,knew is
dead, added
"tAnd the General Gordon whom
knew is also dead, he answered.
II started to tell him the story of the
Major Barlow whom had left dying
on the field at Gettysburg when he in
terrupted me, exclaiming:
MY God, General Gordon, I am

hetam.
"'And I know you died at Gettys-
burg, said I, for saw you.
Mutual explanations followed. It
seems strange to me that the warmest
friendship of my life should have begun
in those awful scenes of blood and car

that performed that day when sent

Is or Will Be.

One of those grammarian friends met
me the other day and asked me which
was correct, Tomorrow is Sunday" or
Tomorrow will be Sunday" ! told
him the following story: Years ago the
Reading Railroad company issued an
order requiring its brakemen, as soon as
a train started from any station, to call
out the name of the next stopping place.
For awhile the trainmen, instructed
doubtless by some grammarian of the
road, would do this by saying, 'NeKt
station will ALLENTOWN, Reading,
etc. An editor took them to task for it,
pointing out the absurdity of using the
future tense in speaking Of that which
always is in the same place After that
the brakemen dropped twill be- and
cried, ''Next station - Allentown,
Reading, etc. -Philadelphia Call.

VIRGINIA, MAY 8. 1895,
THE NEW BOY.
He Was All Right ON Soda. but Not ON
Stamps.

Stamps.
The proprietor of Columbus avenue
drug store hired an italian boy to tend the
soda fountain. "It's all right about that
boy, " he said complacently to the cashier.
"f he can't talk American, he won't be
wasting his time with the kids I'll teach
him the sirups myself. !"
So the new boy practiced the names Of
the sirups and began duty last Wednesday
morning. He got along first rate until
about O'Clock in the afternoon when the
cashier was out and the proprietor was up
stairs FASTING "our own make" labels on
a new line of spring fever pills. The door
opened, and a thin old woman with q dog
cared satchel and q black veil with q hole
in 1t where her nose rubbed, came slowly
in. She went over to the new boy.
Sonny" she said benevolently, "do
you keep postage stamps?"
Lemon, vanilla, chocolate" he an
swered.
The newcomer looked surprised.
II want cent stamp" she said.
Pineapple, strawberry, blood orange
all kinda" he repeated.
Favored postage stamps, hey?" said
the old woman wonderingly. "Well, 1
never! What won't they do nexts It's a
good idea, though, :" she added. "Give me
a vanilla 2 cent stamp"
"No 2 cent-a-5 cent-a, big glass;,
said the boy encouragingly.
''Only got cent stamps favored, hey?"
sNo, mol All kind-a-vanilla, chocolate,
raspberry, pine
"Stop your nonsense, boy" interrupted
the old woman angrily, "and gimme
hostage stalnn uuick -
lice cream soda next month-a," he
said.
"Heyq'
"Month-a, year." he repeated, looking
relieved.
Stamps next year, hey2 Send me word
when they get here sneered the old wom-
an, starting toward the door.
"What'n you have, madam" called the
proprietor, hurrying down the office stairs
ooh, never mind, 4" shouted the would
be purchaser as she opened the door,
"Your bright young man says you're
going to have some stamps next year, so
I'll drop in year after next and see if you
have 2 cent stamp left over. That's ALL

"Why''-the mothers tone was tenderly

"You forget the sedate serenity

The other day when a prim, precise
New England professor sat down to din
ner in southern hotel three walters in

"No, sah," answered the waiter. "No,

SOME OTHER DAY.

There are wonderful things we are going to do
Some other day,
And har5ors we hope to drift into
Some other day.
With folded hands and oars that trai,
We watch and wait for a favoring gale
To fill the folds of an idle sail
Some other day.
We know we must toll if ever we win
Some other day,
But we say to ourselves there's time to beeiy
Some other day.
And SO, deferring, we loiter on,
Until at last we find withdrawn
The strength Of the hope we leaned upon
Some other day.
And when we are old and our race is run,
Some other day,
We fret for the things that might have been
done
Some other day.
We trace the path that leads us where
The reckoning hand of grim despair
Leads us yonder, out of the here,
Some other day.

"Dear me!'' exclaimed the girl from
Boston. IT wonder why the newspapers
have so much to say about crooked race
tracks?''
"Why, because SO many are that way"
"I never in my limited opportunities for
observation noted any such. It has been
my fortune to encounter only race courses
which were far from deserving the epithet
crooked, in that they were admirable
specimens of the geometric form known as
the ellipse. Still there may be others. -

Thought He Was Beecher.

When Henry Ward Beecher was at
the height of his career, there were a
few men who resembled him near
enough to be able to duplicate him in
public. Among these was Judge -
Of Buffalo, who sometimes found the
likeness a source of annoyance. At one
time the judge was travelling with a
party of ladies who were under his care.
He CALAMITY ascribed the attention he
received to them, but on an occasion
when he retired to the smoking car the
riddle was solved. The moment he left
the parlor car couple of strange men
hurried in, and after apologizing to the
ladies for the intrusion asked very ear
nestly if the gentleman in their company
were not Mr. Beecher. Upon being as
sured that he was not, one man turned
to the other, and handing him a roll of
bills said:
''Take them; you've won.'' Then,
turning to the ladies. be explained, 81
bet 500 that your friend was Mr..
Beecher, and I've lost" And he fol-
lowed his companion from the car. The
judge laughed heartily when told of the
incident and said it was not the first
time that another mans greatness had
been thrust upon him.-Detroit Free

After the relief of tears Nannie's
mind was clearer, and she began to
think. After all, the old clock could do
them no good. and if the sale of it would
set them right with the world again
was it right to let mere feeling stand in
the way? She decided that it was not.
She was very sensible girl, was Nan
ME, and practical withal. The clock
must CO. she said to herself. She would
tell Harry when he came in again.
But she was only woman, and at
the thought of parting with the old
timepiece the tears came rushing back,
and she leaned her head against it's face
and wept. She lifted the baby from the
floor and said between her sobs:
"Kiss the old clock, Harry; kiss it
goodby. Mammals going to sell it, so
the baby can have a new dress and
shoes
The baby did not kiss the clock, but
made frantic grab at one Of the high
parts on the top. The glue must have
been broken and loose, for with crack
it came off in his hand. Mamie would
have cried out in dismay, but great
jingling accompanied the mishap, and
her exclamation was turned to one of
joy as several bright coins rolled at her
feet She seized the post and examined
it, It was hollow and filled with old
coins. It had covered recess in the top
of the clock, in which there were many
similar goldpieces. When reduced to
the value of present money they amount
ed to several hundred dollars.
When Harry came home, penitent
and anxious to apologize for his actions
of the morning, Mamie flew to him
with open arms "Oh, Harry, boyi
Harry, boyl we won't have to sell the
old clock, anyway! Look what baby
found in it!'' Stupefaction, comprehen-
sion and wild joy followed each other
in quick succession through Harry's
mind. Then he folded his wife and
baby in his arms and wept, while the
old clock beamed on the scene from its
place in the corner, and all unmindful
of the indignity that had been placed
on it's venerable head murmured on

 Bermuda presents a series cf pictures of an entirely novel character, neither impressively grand nor wanting in ex- pression.

 Many people rent cottages in Bernu- da, and large number stop at Hamil- ton and Princess hotels. The Hamilton hotel is a paradise-that is, it's sur roundings. The grounds are well laid out and filled with beautiful flowers the entire winter. It is situated on hill and terrace, and is on the highest ground in the city. From it's elevation it commands extensive views If the city, the surrounding country, the harbor, shipping and the adjacent islands. Not even a view from East Rock, the pride of New Haven, equals the panorama spread out at ones feet like map. From this losty point the pretty white town stands out against it's dark green background like a city cut in ivory The sight is an enchanting one. The hotel has all modern conveniences, and is first class in every respect.
 The Princess, hotel is situated on a bold elevation at the southern and west ern extremity of the picturesque har- bor. The facilities this hotel offers for the thorough enjoyment of the salt water is one of it's great charms and attractions. The table is unsurpassed.
 The voyage on the steamer Trinidad was a charming one, and we were just two nights at sea. If the islands were not so attractive I would like to live on the boat.

Ibexes.

As the present king of Italy does not inherit his fathers enthusiasm for ibex shooting, the herd continues to increase, and the male ibexes, no longer victims to Victor Emanuel's rifle, are leading their families in increased numbers in- to further and distant mountains, where they have not been seen for genera tions. Should the Swiss, who now pro- tect all wild birds by strictly enforced legislation, decide to extend to the ibeX- es the protection which they enjoy in Piedmont, the climbers in the Alps would enjoy the sight of creature which is not only beautiful in itself, but surpasses even the chamois in its astonishing powers of mountain climb ing. It gallops up over and down the cracks and precipices of ice or rock like a greyhound on the flats of Altcar; and the ancient legend that it jumped down precipices and alighted on it's curved horns to break the fall is very natu- ral invention to account for feats which are seen, bat seemed inexplicable by any credible use of legs and feet
 When the bouquetins became so rare that they were preserved in Swiss cha teaux as the bison is kept in geological gardens. their jumping feats were seen and observed more closely. One kept at Aigle used to live on the roof of the chateau, choosing for its post the slope of the tiles which covered the highest tower. Another was seen to jump on to the top of door standing ajar and to balance itselr on the edge with all four feet close together. A baby ibeX tanned by a peasant who caught It on the Monte Rosa would spring onto his head; and in. the drives held on the kings preserves in Piedmont it was noticed that in descending particular ly steep couloir at full speed they show ed far more precision of movement than even the chamois. "The former (cham- ois) descended by taking flying leaps from side to side like a bird fluttering down; the ibeX on the other hand seem ed to select the most slender temporary landing places far below and to reach them by gigantic leaps straight down, landing and retaining it's balance with an agility truly wonderful to behold" "- London Spectator.
