The Picket Guard.

"All quiet along the Potomac they say,
 Except now and then stray picket Is shot as he walks on his beat to and fro
 By riheman in the thicket. 'Tis nothing-a private or two now and then
 Will not count in the news of the battle; Not officer lost-only one of the men,
 Moaning out, all alone, the death rattle" All quiet along the Potomac tonight,
 Where the soldiers lay peacefully dreaming. Their tents in the rays of the clear autumn moor To the light of the watch fires are gleaming. tremulous sigh as the gentle night wind
 Through the forest leaves softly is creeping, While stars up above, with their glittering eyes, Keep guard, for the army is sleeping. There's only the sound of the lone sentry's tread As he tramps from the rock to the fountain And thinks of the two in the lone trundle bed
 Far away in the cot on the mountain. His musket falls slack; his face, dark and grim, Grows gentle with memories tender, As he mutters a prayer for the children asleep, For their mother-may heaven defend her!

That California Snow FIurry.

They had bit of a snowstorm out in Los Angeles the other day, and the local papers, whose chief business it is to proclaim the perfection as well as the righteousness of California's eli mate, hastened to treat the visitation as simply an interesting episode-a freak of nature without precedent and never to be repeated. The Los Angeles Herald shows especial skill in perform ing it's patriotic duty. After what it intimates, without exactly declaring, was great difficulty, it secured enough of the snow to fill pie plate, and this it had photographed. The resulting picture, looking much like statue by Rodin, The Herald publishes, with the obvious intention of proving how as tonished it was by the storm, and un- der the picture we read, Ut has not showed in southern California before within the memory of the oldest in habitant, and he is 112 years old, but has poor memory The added clause is delightful. What a struggle with conscience there must have been be- fore the man who wrote it overcame the temptation to let eastern readers make the inference natural from an unqualified statement of the oldest in- habitant's agei-New York Times.

 A Heroic Deed.

One of the hardest fought battles of the Civil war was the battle of Olustee, Fla. One of the regiments concerned in it was the Seventh Conn. Vols., all brave men and hard fighters. It was in February, 1864, that the battle took place. The gallant seventh was drawn into a hole with no endorsements, and it was only by the hardest kind of fighting that they made their way out and escaped falling into the hands of the rebels.
 There were two young soldiers in the Union ranks who had fought nobly through the thickest of the battle al most side by side. As every step ot ground was being contested inch by inch one of them fell with wounds in both legs, where an ugly ball had torn it's way through the flesh. For while he lay unnoticed while the tide of battle swept on. Then came the re- treat. The other young soldier missed his companion. A hasty search re- vealed him lying on the damp ground weltering in his life's blood.
 Right here came the test which tried manhood and friendship alike At the young soldiers feet lay his wounded friend; on the other hand the enemy. To tarry seemed almost certain cap ture and the consequent horrors, per haps, of a living death at Libby or An dersOnville. On the other hand was freedom, but at the expense of the life and liberty of his dearest friend.
 The hesitation was but for an in stant, then manhood and friendship won. Greater love hath no man than this.'' He immediately went to work to hastily bind up the bleeding mans wounds. Hurrying comrades passed by, calling him to look out for himself and leave the wounded man to his fate. He did not falter. As soon as possible the young soldier took the wounded man in his arms and followed the re- treating Unionists. The load was heavy, the way was hard. Comrades said, s'Let him alone; he'll die any way" Their words fell unheeded.
 A mule which had freed itself from a wrecked suffers wagon, was captured and the wounded man was placed on it's back. Thus the weary retreat con- tinued, mile after mile, almost certain capture, and possibly death, staring them in the face. The wounded one had long lost control of himself and was held in place on the mules back by his comrade.
 After eighteen long miles the river and safety were reached. At last the suffering man was put on board boat anu CdhSu Lo d OAlOA uoSp1LdI, WuO1e he was nursed back to life and strength.
 The principal characters in this story are both living today. They were young men, scarcely more than boys. One of them, the wounded one, whom his comrade would not desert in the hour of pain and apparently approach ing death, is Charles B. Shipman Of Chester. The other one who so nobly stood by his comrade and doubtless saved his life, is Henry V. Sims of Hebron, this state. The Seventh was General Joseph R. Hawleys regiment.

 The Gallant Sixteenth.

The 16th Connecticut Infantry was organized in 1862 and went into camp at Hartford. It left for the front August 29, 1862, going to New York by boat and from there by rail to Washington, D. O., stayed there one night and went out to Fairfax, where it remained about ten days. Our arms were issued to us, and we then started on the march to join the Army of the Potomac.
 About the third day we overlook the army and within twenty-four hours the army again moved, leaving the Six teenth, which stayed and waited for ammunition, as we rad not had any up to this time.
 Twenty-four hours after we again were on the move and came up with the army the night after the fight at South Mountain. We went into camp on the field.
 The next morning, September 15, we were again on the move and found Lees army the afternoon of the 18th at Antietam. While lying on our arms that night we were shelled by the enemy very early in the morning. We were moved many times before noon, when we forded Antietam Creek and soon drew the fire of the enemy. This enabled our forces to carry Burnside Bridge and cross over We saw the
 
 4 p. m., when we were marched ito a cornfeld and were soon under a deadly fire in front and flank, for we were on the extreme left of the army.
 We were soon obliged to fall back after losing four captains killed and two wounded out of nine who went into the fight. We went into the fight with 1000 men and never after that could we muster over 400 for duty. After oh 0TT4 oI- @< Uo7 ley and remained there until October "A, when we started for Fredericks- burg, Va., where we arrived November l4, and were obliged to lie here until December II, waiting for pontoons on which to cross the river. We crossed the 18th and were under fire for ten days and crossed the river and went into our old camp, where we remained until February, when our division was put aboard cars and went to Aqua Greek and then by boat to Newport News. After remaining here a month we went to Suffolk, Va., where we had two small engagements with the ene- my. In June we moved down nearer Portsmouth, Va. In January, 1864, we were again on transports and went to Beaufort, N. C., thence by rail to New berne. We were put on boats again and went up to Plymouth, N. c. We SCayoQ nero unLll Apr1l II, l0o4, when we were attacked by 10000 rebels. They succeeded in capturing us, the 10th, after we had killed more than one-third as many men as we had in action.
 We had for duty the morning of the attack 1884 men and we killed over 600.
 There is one little incident that hap pened during the fight at Plymouth that I will relate to show what kind of men our soldiers were. The rebels had charged our works several times,

but had been repulsed. We were be- hind earthworks, but there was some fear they would be able to get to the works. Our major came to us and said he wanted a lieutenant and about 40 men to hold themselves in readiness to charge over the works, if they succeed ed in coming to them. Will you go?'' ''I will if I am ordered, but will not volunteer ''I then order you to go and you may pick your men from these three companies here." I had my company fall in and told them what was wanted; that I should not order them to go, but they could volunteer; for if we went very few would come back. said, "All who will go, step two paces to the front" and the whole company marched out. I was proud of them, but as luck would have it, we did not go. The garrison were all captured, many dying in prisons. I was a pris- oner ten months and ten days, and was mustered out May 15, 1865.
