In the Confederate army Lonstreet's

About four o'clock in the morning,
when every one was worn out, a Geor.

"Well he said, this is pretty hard

wiping tables and benches with his
new sleeve, while he carefully kept the
old one behind him.
His wife pcs Jessed one new shoe,
and one only, but she made the most
of it by pushing the furniture in place
with it and keeping the other hidden
beneath her skirts. SIT is very uu
tidy here" she said. Everything is
out Of place"
Then they called to the daughter to
come and put things to rights. But
the only new thing she possessed was
a cap. So she kept putting her head
in at the door, and nodding and nod

a stranger in the earth that when it

a sensation in a limited sphere as
Dawey's reception has. They tell me
that it is not SO much the thing you do

act or speak.
Well speak I must on soma occasions

peaches without a knife if ne scalded
them-that the peels would slip off as
they do from tomatoes. Well, Tried
it and I must say that they did not
slip for me. On the contrary it seemed
to make them stick the closer. Peaches
are scarce this year you know but we
had enough for sweet pickle and pre-

THE PATHS APART.
BY A L STANTON

Dear, the violets will miss you
Every rose Of olden grace
(Chose that leaned your way to kiss you
Miss the beauty Of your face!
And for one heart, lone, forsaken,
In the shadow he shall say:
God gave all, and 90 hath taken
Even the gift Of it away !"
There's a d We in woodlands signing
With no human voice nor art:
There's q mate-R mate replying,
But you're leaving me, sweetheart!
And in all the bleak dominions
OF the 'reft and lonesome night
Love in vain shall plane his pinions
For your farthest fame and fight.
Let us dream our best endeavor
Still shall lead from pain to peace
Dream that love is love forever,
Living when the stars Ehal' cease!
But the stars are mute above me,
And the brightest CLEANS depart;
Voices whisper still you love me,
But you're leaving me, sweetheart
