ton, a major and private were killed
by sharpshooter who was located in
a tree top. He could be plainly made
out, but the range was too far for our
army muskets. A Berdan rifle was sent
for, and when it arrived our captain
put it into the hands of Private Davis
and said:
"You are by long odds the best shot
in our company. With dead rest over
that log you can tumble that man out
of his tree"
Davis hung back and turned pale.
Just then, brigadier rode up to give
an order, and his horse had scarcely
come to holt when bullet from the
sharpshooter passed through the gen
erals hat. He was not only bit star
tied, but inclined to reprimand that the
fellow had not been disposed of. When
he saw the. heavy rifle in the hands of
the pale-faced and hesitating corporal
he shouted out:
Hurry UP, man, and tumble him out
of that before he can reload! If you
bring him down I'll ask your captain
to make sergeant of you five minutes
later!" ss
Davis advanced to stump a few
feet away and knet down and sighted
his rifle across st. We who knew his
craftsmanship felt sure that his bullet
would speed true. He took . long aim,
and we were holding our breath to- hear
the report Of the rifle, when he drew
back, rose up and said:

The death of Miss Winnie Davis
Daughter of the Confederacy," will
be sincerely regretted not only in the
South but throughout the country.
She was woman Of high purpose, and
much beloved. Marked ability, inheri-
ted from her distinguished father, was
shown in her recent literary ventures;
and but for her untimely death large
success would have come to her in her
chosen line Of endeayor. In their
thoughts upon the rude swapping Of
this stem that held a flower, people
will reflect that in her biief lifetime
she saw the strife OF sections stilled
and great nation reunited in spirit as
in name.

white hair aud till figure she went on
her way
Joseph Binns walked up the path
aud round the cottage, peeping in at
the window back and front. He sur
veyed the neglected garden, and
thought hard for some time. Then he
proceeded to the village and hired a
small bedroom for week. When he
was going to bed that night be pulled
bis blind down, and looked carefully to
see there was no chink or crack through
which his movements could be observed
Then he began to undress.
He wore a moleskin waistcoat, bare
with age but still warm and thick. He
put the garment across his knee and
ripped the lining up the center. After
This he thrust in Ills hand and drew out
some rustling papers, which he fiat
tened out and fingered separately with
tender care. Joseph Binns had been
wise in his generation.
"My poor old girl-she shall have
em al" he muttered. "I'n do the
thing proper and pretty. My word,
little Annie won't know herself"
1t was pathetic how he still cherish
ed the idea of youth in respect to tho
woman he was seeking.
The village had delightful food for
gossip during the next week.
A stranger took possession Of Wild
ow Jones empty cottage, and each
day brought with it some wonderful
transformation. The garden was laid
out, the window cleaned and decora-
ted, the gate mepded, the rooms scrlb-
bed and colored. The climax was
reached when big cart Of piled-up
furniture drew up in the lane.
Then the neighbors came docking
with offers to help, but Joseph Binns
admitted no one into his house but
Lucy Hsws. He had to make a con-
fdant of some one, and Lucy bad
taken his fancy.
AL last aal was ready. The cottage
was fit for bride to enter. Lucy
clapped her hands with delight. Joe's
heart swelled with proud e1ultation
and anticipation. A haven Of rest for
the waning years of his life with the
only sweetheart CT his youth. Not q
cloud should mar tEeir happiness.
"And now go right away, as quick
as ever you can, and fetch her home,'.
said the girl. with catch in her voice,
as she helped the old man into his
coat and gave him his hat.
The old man was trembling with
emotion. A pony and cart wers wait
ing in the lane. He got in and drove
quietly awayfn the direction OF large
gray building standing out against the
bill some three miles distant from the
village.
The porter came out from the lodge.
"This isn't visiting day." was the
gratuitous remark before Joseph Binns
in his excited mood could frame re-
quest.
"I'ye como to fetch some one',-he
brought out the words with difficulty
one who doesn't need 10 have
to stop here any longer. I'm her law
full husband and want to take her away.
Anne Jonhs is her name-Widow Jones,
that was Anne Binns."
Again the porter stared at the old
man, then he looked away and said in
an even voice of expression:
Same Jones, known as Widow Jones
died at 6 o'clock this morning. Coro-
ners inquest morrow at 'leven, fu-'ral

Topic, October 2: Trials, aud How
to Bear Them. lisa Al: $40.
Trials have place in Gods plans for
us. Fruit does not come to perfection
through uninterrupted sunshine, and
soul rarely dew elops into Ieauty and
symmetry without more or less suffer
ing. Whatever the medium by means
of which trial reaches us, we should
remember that Gods love is working
through it, strengthening Us and minis
tering to our needs.
1t was Spurgeon who sal that trials
dig up the soil of our nature and let us
see what We are made Of Nothing is
easier than to mistake that comfortable
sense Of satisfaction which comes from
having our own way, for the sweetness
and patience which are the fruits Of
character. All Of us have known p o.
pie who seemed fairly to Iadiate sun
shine when nothing went wrong, but
who were changed by weeks illness
or by some trifing disappointment into
presentations of morose discomfort.
We should be thankful for the trials
which teach us what We are. There is
no especial value in that sweetness and
kindness which depend on our circum-
stances. A great many natures shine |
as the moon does, from reflected rad |
lance. Gods plan for his children is |
that they shall be glowing, burning |
light gvers Patience grows from en-
durance, and faith becomes great when
great troubles are borne bravely
'For noble souls, through the dust
and heat,
Rise from disaster and defeat
The stronger"
There is no surer indication of our
nearn ess to God, or cur remoteness
from him, than the way in which we
bear troubles. Some people are in a
state Of chronic rebellion against every
thing which varies i'll any degree from
that which they had planned for. They
seem to fee that God owes it TO them
10 override all happenircs so as to as

list with a paper entitled "Our Wal

He gives a succinct account of the
events which led to the present war,
and. among other arguments of inter-
v%ention, quotes the following passage
from Prof. Lawrence's "Principles of
International Law: 'Should the cru
city be so long continued ana 50 revolt
ing that the best instincts of human
nature are outraged by it, and should
an opportunity arise for bringing it to
an end and removing it's cause without
adding fuel TO flame of the contest, there
is nothing in the law of nations which
will condemn, as a wrongdoer, the state
which steps forward and undertakes
the necessary Intervention. Each case
must be judged on it's own merits. ....I
