fact that the Yankees were really COM
Ing could no longer be concealed. To
one who was not there at the time it
would be difficult to convey an under
standing of the confusion in the popu-
lar mind, and the unreasonable and I'M
reasoning terror of the approaching
soldiers of the union. This confusion of
mind, of course, was greatest among the
ignorant blacks, who had heard such
vigorous and varying epithets hurled at
the Yankees that they did not in the
least know what kind of a creature to
expect to see.
But they determined to see the
Yankees, just the same, and at the very
earliest moment. So it came to pass
that when Buelps advance guard, and
the Fourth Ohio cavalry, think, rode
wearily down the Gallatin turnpike on
the way to Nashville, many dusky face
was seen peering out upon them from
behind fences and other places of van
tage. They came from the farms on
both sides of the pike for miles around,
and waited patiently, some trembling
ly, for they knew not what.
about every soul went from my
fathers place when word came that the
federal troops were not far distant,
and took up their station at the juno
ton of a country lane with the pike.
My mother and sisters were in car
riage; we boys were on horses, and the
negroes were a-foot. Among the latter
was old Aunt Cynthia, who had man
aged to drag her mountain of flesh the
mile or more between our farm and the
pike. Unlike the proverbial ostrich,
she concealed herself by hiding her
body behind fence and thrusting her
head which was covered with fam
ing bandana handkerchief worn tur-
ban fashion, through an opening.
Cynthia gaA-f long and in puzzled
silence at the ySearied men and jaded
horses about whom that day not even
the best disposed eye could have de-
tected any vestige of war. She could
not reconcile what she saw with the
visions she had conjured up in her un-
tutored mind. Finally she gave it up,
and, hobbling to the carriage window,
said to my mother: Miss Liza, they
look just like folks
"And when my mother told her that
they really We're folks, she turned her
face homeward, then and there losing
forever all interest in the Yankees."-

A Tardy Reward.

John C. Hunterson, of Philadelphia,
has received medal of honor. On the
Peninsula, Virginia, about June s, 1862,
this soldier, then private of company
B, Third Pennsylvania cavalry, and ON
duty as one of an escort of two to an
engineer officer, accompanied the officer
in reconnaissance of the enemy's po-
sition, between the lines of the two
armies. The party was fired on by the
enemy, the engineers horse was killed
and the second member of the escort
returned to the lines. Hunterson, how
ever, voluntarily gave UP his own mount
to the engineer, who was thereby ena-
bled to escape and save the valuable
papers in his Observation-Disclosures
Commercial Tribune.

friend, the surgeon, and his family.
This was all that he could do, but it.
showed his gratitude and his desire to
do something for those who had been
kind to him in his trouble.
With his mother he returned to Iowa,
and now comes the saddest part of the
story.
AS the years glided away with no

Imagine my surprise about three

For 80 years he had been a bedridden
cripple. He had never recovered from
his wound, and during all that time he
had been cared for by his devoted old
mother, whose love for him seems to
have heightened her span of life.
1t is one of the saddest chapters in
the sad history of our fratricidal war.

eAupY HANpkERcAIEFs.
All the Colors of the Rainbow 10 He
Seen Next Season.

All the CoIorH OF the RntnbOw TO He
Seen Next Season.
Hankerchiefs next season will be
gaudier than ever before. They will be
of all the colors of the rainbow, in sol
ids, stripes, plaids, polka dots and fig
ures. Even white ones will not be
plain, for, when not heavily embroi-
dered, they will be lace trimmed, not
with one edge of lace as heretofore, but
with several lace frills placed one above
the other and on both sides of the hand
kerchief, for the fashionable article has
neither right nor wrong side.
Many samples shown have centers of
solid colors-colors, not tints--with
borders in contrasting colors, plaids,
checks, polka dots and pronounced
floral designs. Other handkerchiefs
appear to be thin bits of colored muslin
over which small flowers or leaves are
Btrewn. To n careless observer they
seem nothing more or less than hem
stitched squares of printed lawn. Close
inspection shows a linen of the dain-
tiest quality, with regular and gen.
orally highly artistic design, stamped
as distinctly on one side as the other.
Black, navy blue, scarlet and brown
handkerchiefs embroidered in white,
black or contrasting colors are to be
used by travellers and should always
correspond in color with the toilet.
Travelling handkerchiefs should never
be lace-trimmed.
One of the newest and daintiest hand
kerchiefs to be seen is of sheer white
or light colored linen muslin, with a
triple border of finely plated footing.
The footing, of course, is always white.
There is no hemstitching, the first row
being whipped on rolled edge, while
the second row is put on, one row on
either side of the handkerchief, just
above. This handkerchief. though so
simple that it could be easily made at
home, is especially dainty looking, and
adapted to go with the most elegant
toilet. Frills of lace are put on in n
similar manner, sometimes as many as
six rows being used to the side. Of
course one great trouble with these
dainty bits of lace-trimmed muslin will
be the difficulty of having them washed,
but the dealers say this objection is
overcome by the narrowness of the lace.
After washing, they need only to be
rubbed over with the iron, and when
taken out for use the lace is pulled out
between the fingers, making the hand
kerchief much fresher in appearance
than 1T would be were the lace pulled
out on leaving the wash.-N. Y. Sun.

Tho little town OF Nurseryville lies near a
distant day,
Across the waves OF ieetlng years which
bore our past away.
Should you take your memory ferry to pass
this river oer,
In wealth of golden sunshine you will find
it's dazzling shore.
Where nature dwells in beauty, and each
enchanted street
Us bordered by gay flowers which yield
fragrance sweet;
Here fairies live and care is not, and every
dream comes true,
For all the while the earth's smile be-
meath a sky of blue.

Yet every household has its queen who
holds monarch sway.
For mothers arms are needed IL aught
should go amiss,
And every wrong in Nurseryvine Is righted
by kiss
You will not find this gladstone spot on any
map of land,
But in each heart its place is marked so all
may understand
That o'er the past of years and tears and in
the long ago.
There lies the home of pure content which
childhoods hours know.
their course is run.
The wind sings low lullaby to rest each
weary one.
Then God blows out the sunlight and puts
candles in the sky,
That none may fear the night-time, but
may know that He Is nigh.

The instant a foreign substance is felt
in the eye throw back the head and drop
two or three flaxseeds on the ball of the
eye, and lift the upper lid and draw it
down over them, SO as to hold them in.
There is no disagreeable sensation at
tached to putting the seed in, and the
relief will come instantly. The mois-
ture of the eye dampens the seed, and it
gives out a mucous substance which
spreads over the eye and covers the
grit. After awhile the seeds will begin
to work out, and will bring the Offend
ing particle with them.
