A WARTIME CHRISTMAS.

"Reminiscences of Eighteen Sixty-Four
Rccounted.
Mr.. George Z. Williams gives, in the
New York World, Renaissance of the
siege OF Petersburg, illustrating the
pleasant way in which both unionists
and confederates observed the last
Christmas day OF the war. Christmas
day, 1864" he said, found the armies
under Meade and Lee occupying the OPP
posing lines of siege works at Peters
burg, Va. 1 had ridden over from Gen.
Warren's headquarters to eat my holt
day dinner with my old comrade, Will
Glider, who afterward became famous
as an arctic traveller. 1 found him
and Gen. Egan in bomb-proof near
Fort He'll, on the Jerusalem plank road,
and enjoyed a hearty meal amid the
shrek OF shell and loud detonations of
artillery.

paid visit to the outer line of pickets,
being obliged to crawl on our hands and
knees for two hundred yards to avoid
the bullets which were constantly
whistling over our heads.
Finally we reached the picket line,
having given to a brother officer por-
ticn of the good things we had been dis
cussing. AS the captain had finished
his dinner there was perceptible
slackening in the artillery and mus
kerry fire, until deep silence fell upon
the long lines of trenches.
The Johnnies have hoisted flag,
SIR said sergeant, as he emerged from
pit near by.
What for?' demanded the captain.
''.Well, they say it's Christmas day
and they think they have wasted enough
ammunition
Looking over the edge of our breast
works, saw that the enemy's line was
scarcely hundred yards away, and
along its ragged edge were ranged thir-
ty or forty heads of the confederate
soldiers, our own line being alive, ow-
ing to the implied truce.

southerner, what did yer hev for yer

But how to do it? What excuse could
he offer for his conduct? Could he not
tell her of his desertion in some better
way than by letter? All, he had it.
He would send some gilt that would be
symbolical of a wish to break the tie

When the old log-cabin homed us
From the night of binding snow,
And the rarest joy held reign,
and the chimney roared amain,
With the freight like beacon
Through the frosty windcw-pane.

From without and from within,
The blend of distant sleigh-bells
With the blinking violin;
The mufEled shriekS and cries
Then the glowing cheeks and eyes
The driving storm of greetings,
Gusts Of kisses and surprise.
Sing in again the pirth

The :trangest tales on earth.

With our feet upon the floor,
But our heads and hearts in Heaven,
