but as the moments dragged away on this
occasion he evnced womans nervous

that the alignment was constantly being
broken by tho horses backing up or forg
Ing ahead. They could see the fighting to
the right and in front, and the smoke
from the Union battery to the left and in
front Of us drove back and over us and
the horses breathed 1t in and blew 1t out
Of their nostrils In gasps.
A tremor OF exoitement-a sort of shiv
er-ran down the line.
Tho wind had shifted bit to blew tic
smoke to our left, and down across tho
meadows we saw the Confederate cavalry
forming, with the green woods for back
ground. Jeb Stuart's men were there
Ashby's men. men from Iiampton's le-
gion, Imboden's Nirginians, Rosser's
rangers, guerrillas from Mosby com
mand There were fragments from every
cavalry command we had mctnn the turn
pixies Of old Virginia, and there wasn't a
squadron which wouldn't stand for a
charge. The battery began firing more
rapidly, and there WASH TIA man of us who

enough before we got the word. some Of
the horses know it too. You could feel

to retire the battery. 1t had come too

Forestry and Thrift.

II is beginning TO be seen by communl-
ties not specially aesthetic that there is Il
close connection, after all, between beauty
in the landscape and dollars. A lament
arose in Maine some time since over the
greedy shearing off of picturesque wood
lands for immediate gain, to the great
detriment of greater and more permanent
values. There were some at least who saw
aith MON no higher motives were
dominant hat to destroy ruthessly the
scenic charm in the landscape was really
to reduce the revenues from the city and
summer boarders. And in Maine, as well
as in other parts OF New England, the
millions of dollars that come from enter
tanning urban and summer contingent
constitute in rural neighborhoods by far
their most important income.
AS the habit now is, whole acres are
wastefully shorn without break, under
the lumberman's axe, with the same unin-
telligent and causeless destruction that
would happen to fish-pond il nets were
laid so as to eXterminate the small and
la 'ge fry totally, and without thought for
the future. This is emphatically killing
