A TORN STAMP.
BY CAPTAIN KENNETH GILMER.

copyright, 1897, by the Author.l
When the Army of the Potomac started
on the Wilderness campaign in the spring
of 1864, there was hasty rally of scatter
ed commands and men of all ranks and
stations who were on furloughs, detached
service and the like turned from their tenn
porary occupations or pastimes, as do Dor
der settlers in time Of Indian alarm, and
rushed to the field of danger. I reached the
Wilderness battle-ground after an air line
run to Washington and forced march
across Virginia, and that, too, without an
ounce of personal baggage, without mon
ey, with nothing but u soldiers regulation
equipments and u scribblers inevitable
portfolio. was q veteran campaigner, and
after that fight the myriad dead whose
dumb, cold forms would never again utter
love messages reminded me that the dear
ones left behind me would anxiously await
tidings by every northern mail. A volun-
teer soon learned that patriot fire must be
fed by dear home ties; that in order to fight
well the soldier must love we'll, and so
mother and sister and cousin and sweet
heart must share the warriors thought
and affection. / wrote tho usual home let
tiers and hastily put on stamps, letting the
other remain so that might use every Sec
ond of time before the bag would close.
When the call sounded and the.mail courier
was gathering his burden, 1 added "just
another word" closed it and reached for a
stamp, but found nothing but O fragment
of cent issue. elias any one a spare
stamp?'' I called out. The,answer from all
over camp by hooking laughs and catcalls
told me that had echoeda query already
ancient.
In my absorption hadfbeen oblivious of
the stamp famine raging'arou me. The
agents of the friendly commissions who
sometimes forward amy letters were not
at hand, so scribbled across the edge of
the envelope, "A soldiers battlefield letter
to his sweetheart; no stamp" and tossed
1t into the mail bag, returning the torn
stamp to my portfolio quite carelessly. For
fact the kindly countonance of the Father
of His Country seemed to smile on me
from that stamp as glanced at It. I re-
called some of the stories of the young
British lieutenant and his amatory ardor
until / fancied he was my friend whisper
ing to me each time that thought about
my wandering missive. cit is all right,
my boy; that Wilderness lettersis going

A SOLDIERS BATTLEFIELD
LETTER TO HIS SWEETHEART.


Lucy aimed to be reckoned in the New
England caste Of We're de We're, and q ro-
mantle impulse born on the treacherous
field of death found no vulnerable place In
her armor of propriety. Twas confused, to
state it mildly, almost desperate, but when
the field of war was reached again devotion
to the fighting offered good antidote, and
the exciting work which followed helped to
turn that affection most speedily from an
object so unworthy.
In this great campaign came the climax
of interest concerning this stamp. Ithad
now come to be priced with something Of
that personal veneration we give to charms.
A week before Richmond and Petersburg
fell into the Union hands l was aroused
from q sleep on the outpost bivouac in front
of the latter city by a rough shaking and
felt myself hurried off by force toward
Lees lines. Our men had been surprised.
1t was very dark, and the Confederates
found such heavy fighting ahead Of them
when our forces received the alarm that
they had to disregard the handful Of pris-
onsrs taken, and so before daylight found
opportunity to steal away from the pres
ence of the troops. Some greenbacks con-
cealed on me purchased seclusion for the
time and also q good suit of Confederate
clothing. An old negro in q hut between
the forts and the city helped me to these,
and found him shrcwI adviser besides.
He told me to go into the interior of Dixie.
He said that all about the army lines or
ders were strict and u close watch was

A SOLClER'S GRAVE.


III There's grave just
marked by plain gray stone
That's inscribed with name to fame unknown.
But green is the grass
And fresh are the flowers
Which garnsh this grave
That loves hand embowers.
And the wind signs DER it on summer ewes
Its plaintive lament through the shrubs and
leaves,
And with the refrain comes softer sigh
From the heart of a love that cannot die,
For true love survives
The lapse Of the years,
Though of hope bereft,
Though its fruit be tears.
And on summer days by this grave so green
In somber array may form DO seen,
Or, when DER it is cast a shroud of snow,
There undying love by this grave means low.
What does she wish for,
For what does she pray
In the garden Of death
Both winter and May?
In sad communings her thoughts backward fly
To the day he babe her a last goodby,
To that sadder day when he, fighting, fell
OF INC CauS6s lOVeu anu Sn6 lOVcu so we'll
She, Spartan bride,
Would not say him nay,
Though it broke her heart
When he went away.
Others there be in that garden of death
Vino the loved ones recall with bated breath,
Who strew bright flowers DER their graves
with sigh
For love that lived, for the love that could die.
But she, robed in black,
With the pale, sad face,
Defied the long years
Her love to erase.
Not welded to death, though her love lies low
And her heart feels cold in the Maytime glow,
But welded to love which lives in the past
Sustained by a hope that they'll meet at last
She and her lover
He conqueror where
Death cannot enter
Nor partings DO there.

A SMUGGLER PIG.
Captain McNeil's Porker Runs
Afoul OF the Customs.

The Chronicle of November % says
A pet pig came near involving Cap
tain Mcneil of the brig Wilder in trou-
bic with the customs service to the
extent Of something like a fine of $500
When the Wilder arrived here three
or four days ago from the Hawaiian
Islands. laden with sugar, the customs
officials, as is customary, sealed her
matches by extending tape across them
and sealing the tape at the ends and
in the middle. The Captains pet pig
in roaming around the deck, came
across these insignia of Uncle Sam s
authority, and with true porcine con-
tempt proceeded to eat both seals and
tape. While at this interesting diver
sion he was discovered, and the horror
at the result came near causing the
pig to be run off the deck into the
sea, as were his illustrious progenitors
at Gadara. However, his youth and his
fleet feet saved him.
The matter was at once reported
to the inspector on duty at the wharf
and later to the Surveyor and Col
lector of Customs. The fine for tamper-
ing with seals is $500, and it has to be
clear case of accident or necessity
that will stay the fine.
