WAR "REMINISCENCES.
THE MuLArTo's PROPHECY.


Grants Future Foretold by nm old
Woman.
itwas early III the fifties that small
but agile man of some thirty-three or
four years of age, seated upon wagon
load of farm produce, was slowly driv-
ing his team toward "town." He was
dressed in ordinary farming costume,
though certain straightness of form
and celebrity of movement made him ap-
pear somehow out of place.
AS one looked at him closely some
more distinguishing characteristics
might have been seen. His forehead
was not particularly high, but it had a
dense, massive look that one sees some
times upon the most common of men,
and. wonders it has not carried them
farther. His face was well enough CHS
eled, but had no particularly noticeable
lines, except those of determination.
Still, his eyes, though not particularly
sharp, were of a steel blue, which one
would hardly forget, once having seen.
He appeared somewhat discontented,
as he drove his horses along the poorly
made and worse mended highway.
"Hard, grimy work." he muttered.
"It doesn't seem worth while to study
for years in an expensive school in or
der to be able to do this" For the man
was graduate.
"And yet" he mused, 'it's well in
life to be ready for whatever comes.
Perhaps do farm-work better for the
education 1 acquired in school. But
however that may be, L must support
my family"
He entered the town, marketed his
produce at price not so high as he
could have wished, fed the team by the
street-side and sat down on dry-goods
box to eat his lunch-consisting of
some crackers and cheese. An old nc
quaintance came along.
Hello, Uncle SAM" he shouted, to
the produce hauler. rs that you?
You're getting quite countritied, l de-
clare. Come in and take drink"
"Thank YOU" replied the other, "I've
sworn off"
''Well, come in here and have hot
lunch with me anyway" insisted the
acquaintance, who had been fellow
student with the man in the home-spun
clothes. II want to talk over old times
a little"
After considerable urging, the farm.
er consented; and the two had just fin.
isbed their repast, and were about to
light cigars, when an old mulatto WON.
an, with gray hair and weird black eyes
entered the little restaurant.
Either of you gentlemen want your
fortunes told?" she inquired.
Goodness sakes, Sam, did you eveI
see anybody that looked more like one
of the old sybils?" asked the man who
was playing the host. Lets try heranc
see what she'll say. Here's half dol
lar, auntie. Go in and tell us all you
know and more too"
The old woman took n few steps to
ward them and reached for the money;
when all of sudden her eyes restec
intently on the wood-hauler.
Your hand!" she muttered, in {
hoarse, thrilling tone. The request was
granted, almost mechanically. TIL,

mystical appearance came over rherface.
"Wreaths!" she shouted, in a mo-
ment; "wreaths all over your head. But
not now. Not yet. No, you must work

"Blood = blood oh, how much
blood!" she continued. Men falling
everywhere = flags floating - graves
opening-fire cracking and burning
guns laundering! But wait-wait-
you are above it all. Yes, you are at the
head of thousand men-a hundred
thousand men-a million men"
Her fervor and the strange things she
said enchained the attention of both
men, who had seen the transports into
which some of these women could go.
''At the head of million men," she
continued-'te million men, women

I'VE SAW SERGT. JACK SINK DOWN"
he had the sympathy of all his COM
rades.
Things were thus when it came our
turn one night to go into the rife pits
on the line nearest the confederates. We
had to march down from camp by COW
cred ways and crawl into the pits like
so many serpents. Death was there
waiting for any man who but showed
his head above pit. Not finger could
be held up without dozen bullets being
fired at it. On this night it was bright
moonlight-so bright that one could see
every leaf and blade of grass and every
insect moving about The great guns
were silent after hot days work, but
there was Il spiteful and murderous fire
of musketry along the rifle pits. The
bullets whiZZed above our heads in q
vengeful way, and the officers kept cry
ing: Look out, men-lleep DOWN." as
we neared the pits. Men dropped off
here and there till only six of us were
left, and Sergt. Jack had charge of plac-
ing us. The men in the pits had to come
out first, and as soon as they got the
signal they began the movement. We
were watching them as they wormed
themselves along the ground when
Sergt. Jack suddenly uttered a groan.
1t was not a groan of pain, but of an
guish-such a sound as n strong man
might make when he felt his heart
breaking over his grief. All of us turned
to look at him, and as we did so be
stepped out from under shelter into the
open and the moonlight and was face
to face with death!
"Down, sergeant-come back-look
out!" we shouted at him, but he drew
himself up and walked straight towards
the confederate lines. His appearance
amazed the sharpshooters for half a
minute. So bright was the moonlight
that they could look right into his eyes.
1t was not the act of brave man; none
of them would put it down to bravado.
He was not descrter seeking admis-
sion to their lines. We shouted to them
not to shoot-that our sergeant had lost
his mind-and those directly in front
heard us and withheld their fire. Those
on the fianks, however, could not catch
our words, and probably believing that
some hostile movement was contem

DUTY FIRST.
4 Mother Who Valued Her Som
Honor Above All Else.

Honor Above All Else.
Gen. Francis A. Walker, the presi-
dent of the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, who died few months
ago, was one of the best-knowu and
most highly honored citizens of the
United States. His reputation as an
economist was worldwide, and it is said
that he had received more honorary de-
grees and been elected an honorary
member of more learned societies than
any other American.
Gen. .Walkerwent into the army a year
after he graduated from Amherst col
lege. A pleasant story which he used
to tell illustrates the temper of the
time, and shows of what stuff mothers
were then made.
He obtained leave of absence to go
home to Massachusetts, and arrived
there without having notified his moth
er that he was coming. When he APP
preached the house it was evening. He
peered through a window, and saw his
mother sitting alone, knitting.
Then he stepped softly into the room,
and standing before her said, suddenly:
"Mother!"
Mrs. Walker started and looked up at
her son. but did not rise.
Francis" she said, severely, 'have
you left the army?"
"No, mother, only on leave. I'm 60
ing back next week."
"Then," Gen. Walker used to say,
''she jumped from her chair and came
and kissed me. / have always wondered
what she would have done if had left
the army."-Youth's Companion.

Cnuscs or Swine pineases.

AZ the hog is the most difficult of all
farm stock to give medicine to, pre-
vention will be found to be the best
remedy in most cases. Almost all dis
eases of swine may be traced to neg
lcct, insufficient and unwholesome food,
poor shelter, filthy, nauseous pens, ly-
ing in dung heaps, inhaling large guam
titles of deleterious gases, lying in cold,
wet beds and exposure to the inclem-
encies of the weather, permitting too
many to sleep together and breeding to
animals that have been diseased, or in
and-ir breeding. the feeding of smutty
corn, not providing clean, pure water
these are undoubtedly the principal
causes of disease in swine.

m THE MOONLIGHT.
Sergeant Jack Had Lost All That
Made Life Dear to Him.

One day twas whispered in our camp
before Petersburg that Sergt. Jacks
wife had died. Sergt. Jack was re-
served and rather morose, and none of
us knew whether he had wife or not
until the rumor came. The sergeant's
demeanor told us the story was true.
The soldiers mental suffering was
plain to all who looked into his face.
He had loved her well, and the blow
had come too suddenly. In a weeks
time he grew so old and haggard that
one could hardly identify him as the
same man. Some of the men whisper
ingly declared that he would do some
desperate thing-others that he would
bear it like man and get the best of
it after awhile. We loved Sergt. Jack,
