1t is said that Prof Blackie often told
this snecdote ION himself" The genial
old professor used to form q very pictur-
esque feature in the Edinburgh streets.
He was a wiry old patriarch, with hand
some features aud hair falling in ringlets
about his shoulders; no one who had
seen him could possibly forget him. One
day he was accosted by very dirty little
bootblsck with his: "Shine your boots,
sir?" The professor was impressed by
the f1lthiness of the boys face. ~ don't
want shine, my lad said he. "But il
you'll go and wash your face I'll give
you sixpence." "A right, sir" was the
lads reply. Then he went over to a
neighboring fountain and made his ablu-
tions. Returning, he held out his hand
for the money. "Well, my lsd," said
the professor, "you have earned your
sixpence. Here it is." 81 dinna want
it," returned the boy, with lordly air,
aye can keep it and get lyer hair cut"

was bachelor, and when he learned
that lady was involved in the proceed
ings, he began to relent little.
"No, tell her this" commanded Capt
Drundy, wishing TO be less emphatic,
and, at the same time, wishing to put
the thoroughly confused messenger more
at his ease, ''tell her that Bloodgood an
l, if convenient to her, will call, an then
she can hear the arguments Of both sides
an make her decision accordin'1y. Wen
agree to stand by what she says. Do
you agree to that, Bloodgood?"
The major was about to emphaticallv
negative the offer, but on second thought
he decided that he could not afford to let
Druudy be more generous than himself.
Accordingly, he gave grumbling assent
to the plan, and with a sigh of relief the
young man hurriedly left the presence Of
the war relics. When the sound of foot
steps had died away the dispute over the
battle In question was Recommended, and
it did not end until both sides were too
exhausted to continue.

been established were agreeable to the
author. so early on the following morn,
Maj Bloodgood, resplendent in his best
suit and highest collar, stalked up to the
hotel at which she was staying. Upon
being ushered into the parlor, the major
with his grandest bow, stated the purpose
for which he had came; and he felt a
thrill Of pleasure in his frame when, in
| low, musical voice the young lady, Miss
Hallam, babe him welcome. She was a
frail, delicate being, about 25 years old,
and the old veteran soon became deep in
a conversation with her. In the midst
of it the door opened and Capt Drundy,
in the gorgeous paraphernalia of faded
military uniform, entered the room.
Strange to say the object of the visit
| was forgotten; for, when the two SOL
diers arose to take leave of the author, 1t
occurred to the major that they had not
even SO much as alluded to the battle of
spine Forks" However. he concluded,
there was an abundance of time in the
future; and, anyway, it was not an easy

ing person; SO little procrastination
could not possibly result 10 any harm.
The night after the visit the major
dreamed Of battles, charges, furious. at
tacks and retreats, but in some unaccount-
able way a woman seemed always to be
present, and her face was constantly
| turned in his direction. This haunting
face unnerved him, for, instead of order
| irg the retreating ones to halt, he rushed
along with them. The face followed,
however, and whenever he turned his
head he met the eyes of the stranger. At
1 length the countenauce began to bright
en-, and it continued until finally 1t daz
zled his eyes. just then he awoke and
i found that the suns rays were streaming
through his window.

an engagement to consult with the au-
thoress ut 10 q. ms but the major thought
that he would 60 around about and

HATURR'S VOICE.

The rush of the wind is Natures voice,
AS it breAthes through the tnrest trees.
The rnsh of the river is Natures voice,
And the 70 At of the storm tossed Seas.
Her voice is in the thunder's sound,
And in the murmur low
OF the woodland brook as it winds along.
Through the wales where the pine trees grow.
Her voice is heard in the earthquakes sound
When hill and valley rend,
And mountains smoke and ashes fly.
And lava floods descend.
Her voice is heard in the gentle tall,
OF the pstterIng. pattering rain.
In the fearful hiss of the leaping flame,
And tempest and hurricane.
Her voice is heard in the cstaract's sound
Where chasms yRwn below,
And in the rustling OF the grass
When summer breezas blow.
In a thousand sounds around me,
| In thousand things hear,
Comes the voice sf the mighty Mother,
Unto mortRls ear. r ( Pierce.

from manufacturers of these classes OF
goods, and many weeks agn the aggregate
ST space asked for by them had becom-
so great that the necessity for specis /

had become apparent. Work on th
building has lately been begun and from
now on there will be no delay in hasten

have you got to say in your own behalf
about it, sah?"
"Why-er-is not that statement cor
rect?" irquired the stranger, reddening
as he spoke.
"No, sab! Emphatically no, sab! We
won that battle beyon' doubt-won it
In most decided manner" And the
major shifted the weight of his body
from one foot to the other, and brought
down his cane upon the floor with q
thUmp.
but, sir, from all that have been agile
to gather on the subject, and anyway
from the consensus OF opinion, I" the
other began in confused manner.
"Confound the consensus of opinion ~
interrupted the irate major. "Wasn't /
there. and didn't see an take part-a
large part-in the whole f1ghta What,
anyway, is the 'consencus of opinion?
Nothin' but the thoughts Of lot OF pre-
JUDGED fools, who were thousan' miles
away. Confound 1t, say! An that
book will never be adopted till it's
changed-changed, do you hear" And
the speaker, with wave of his hand,
which Indicated wish that the other
should follow, stalked down the steps.
| When the two arrived at the committee
room they found that the collection OF
gray-headed antiques were already pres
ent, and without delay the major threw
the roll Of paper upon the table, and
shouted: 8
"'This history is no good-absolutely
no good-an' just told this man who
wrote it If great changes are not made in
it it will never get into use. Why, the
man hasn't any mo- sense than to say
that we didn't win the battle of Pine
Forks"
IAN so you didn't retorted the cap
tain, warming up to the struggle.
"Why, Drundy, you're fool-a down.
right foolv' continued the major, his eye
flashing fire. 'tSuttinly we won. was
right there an know what I'm talkin
about, an unless it's so put down III see
that the book ia never adopted. Do you
understand, sah?'
"An' IL it is changed, that settles the
book 80 far as I'm concerned replied
the captain in an angry tone.
''Br-br-br-br!' The exasperated major
was too full for utterance. Then, real
izing the necessity of saying something
heaturned 60 the young man who had &C
companied him and asked:
"Well, sab, what have you to say fol-
yourself?"
Nothing at all, sir,' was the trembl
ing reply by the person addressed

major, when he saw 8 sheer on the
ether's face, "that the sides weren't
even; else we'd "a licked you. Statistics,
Ill Omit, back you up, but know that
you had ten thousan' mo- men n we did"
However, he wound up by saying that he
wouldn't allow that point to interfere
with his decision.
In the same way dispute arose over
the fight of the merrimac and the Mont
tor, the captain asserting that the latter
had achieved victory, while the major
commended that the ironclad had not been
beaten, but had retired from the engage
ment for repairs; but in the end the writ
er's statement that neither had gained q
decisive victory awas allowed to stand.
All of these minor discussions, however,
did not affect the final vote, and in the
end the committee, grumbling to the last,
said that they "s'posed 'tWould do.''
Maj Bloodgood was more intractable
than his companions, however, and while
he admitted that the book was fair to both
sides, yet he determined to give it f1nal,
private examination before sending it to q
publisher. Accordingly, after the au-
thor had been wired to come at once, the
southerner bundled the manuscript and
stalked up the street to the club-room
over which the confederate flag hung and,
seating himself in a large armchair, be
began to re-read the history. Smiles and
frowns appeared alternately upon his
countenance as he read a passage that re-
called time full of pleasant memories,
and Outlines tear would arise to his eye
and glisten there as he read OF battle in
which he had lost many of his compan-
ions. All these memories were forgotten,
however, when he came to the paragraph
which treated of the battle of spine
Forks"
"Why, blank It," he thundered, thump-
ing with his esne upon the floor, 'tthe
pusson who wrote this SEE that that bat
tie was not victory for either side.
Why-why, that's simply wilful lynn !!
How on earth did overlook that first ?
Why-why," overlooking with indigna-
ton, ''I'Il go straight down and see the
others about it. cannot let such mis-
take--such an awful mistake-go uncor-
rected." And suiting actions to words,
he arose and started toward the door.
Before he had taken many steps, however,
the portal swung open and the club jani-
tor ushered into the room a Young.

politely removed his hat.
