gallant soldier lying on the field. He
was dying and begged me to send q
message to tho Union lines. His wife
had decided to share with him the for
tunes Of war and was at the officers
quarters in tho Federal army.
81 ordered my men to take the wound
ed officer to our camp and to make him
as comfortable as possible. Then I sent
some men with q flag of truce to the
Union lines with tho message from the
dying officer to his wife.
Late that night the party returned,
and the meeting of tho dying husband
and his young wife was the most affect
ing scene which have ever witnessed.
II was compelled to go elsewhere,
but before left the sorrowing couple ]

She looked at him with panied eyes.
After the long struggle of the past win
ter it wounded her to hear him speak
so. She started to speak, but the tears
came up and drowned her voice, and
she buried her head in her apron and
sobbed.
Harry put on his hat and left the
house. His heart had been SO set upon
the advantages of the sale that the dis
appointment made him unreasonable.
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.

But she was only woman, and at

and wept. She lifted the baby from the
floor and said between her sobs:
kiss tho old clock, Harry; kiss it

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. 1t was hollow and filled with old
coins. 1t had covered a recess in the top
of the clock, in which there were many
similar goldpieoes. When reduced to
the value of present money they amount
cd to several hundred dollars.
When Harry came home, penitent
and anxious to apologize for his actions

in quick succession through Harry s

THE PLAY.

Loi tits gala night
Within the lonesome latter yearsi
An angel throng bewinged, bedight
In wells and drowned in tears,
Sit in theater TO see
A play OF hopes and fears,
While tho orchestra breathes ftfully
The music Of the spheres.
Mines, in the form of God on high.
Mutter and humble low
And hither and thithor fly.
Mere puppets they, who come and go
At bidding of vast, formless things
That shift the scenery to and fro,
Flapping from out their condor wings
Invisible woel
That motley dramal Oh, be sure
II shall not be forgotl
With its phantom chased forevermore
BY a crowd that seize Ii not,
Through circle that ever returneth In
To tho selfsame spot,
And much of madness and moro OF sin
And horror, the soul of the plot.
But see, amid the mimic rout,
A crawling shape intrudei
A blood red thing that writhes from out
The scenic solitudel
II Writhes-it writhes with mortal pangsl
The mines become its food,
And the seraphs sob at vermin fangs
In human gore imbrued.
Out, out are tho lights; out all
And over each quivering form
Tho curtain, funeral pail.
Comes down with the rush Of n storm,
And tho angels, all pallid and wan.
Uprising, unwilling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy "Man,"
And its hero the cmqueror, worm.

SOME OTHER DAY.

There are wonderful things we are going to "a
Some other day,
And harbors we hope to drift into
Some other day.
With folded hands and oars that trail
We watch and wait for 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 begin
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 q grim despair
Leads us yonder, out of the here,
Some other day.
