Was It indeed but a Dream?

1 dreamed that you kissed me, dear
Was it indeed but dream?
To my heart you lay very near
And can so much happiness seem?
In the rush of the night you came;
My hair was stirred by your breath,
And my blood would have leaped into
flame
Had my sleep been the slumber Of
death.
And when you had kissed me. love,
A rose you laid on my mouth,
Did you think could traitorous prove?
o one sweet flower of the South!
/ thought that your lips still chung
AS I drank in the roses perfume;
And q golden censor was swung,
And glory EMBODIED the room.

Mrs. Hyssop's First Boarder.
BY ALBERT J. KLINK.

The Algonquin was not so preten-
tious hosiery as its name might lead
one to believe. 1t was modest two
storied affair, placed well back from
the street, and presided over by a
rather spacious example of the gentler
sex, who lived simply and happily I'M
der the pungent name of Mrs. Wini-
fred Hyssop. This estimable lady had
been a widow now for two years, dur
ing which time the Algonquin had
been planted, had taken root, and
branched into cosy, comfortable
boarding house. From its very incep-
ton the rooms were always taken, and
the table always held its limit Of salts
fed eaters. Mrs. Hyssop was model
landlady in more senses than one.
She was now sitting enthroned on
the front veranda-enthroned, because
no other word fits so aptly when she
chooses to adorn the front veranda.
81 do believe he's taking up with
both the girls" was her soliloquy, the
she" being the boarder who was the
first one domiciled under her humble
roof. "And l wonder which will get
him? My, but 1t is exciting! Oh, here
comes Fanny now"
Fanny looked worried as she came
up the steps. She drew chair up to
Mrs. Hyssop and sat down.
Are you tired, Fanny" the latter
asked. "And did you meet with much
success to-day?"
Fanny's success depended upon dis
posing of gaudy fancywork made by
her own nimble fingers, which, to
Judge from her work, numbered more
than the allotted supply Of thumbs.
Fanny sighed. Mrs. Hyssop knew
well what this meant
1T is hard, l know" she sympa-
thized, "to get along in this world.
Especially when one is alone" she
ended, casting a side glance at the
perturbed Fanny.
n Mrs. Hyssop hoped this would tow
Fanny into the matrimonial channel
And a prologue in this direction did
sprout, for the girl sighed again, and
said:
81 would lose hope altogether II 1t
wasn't for-for@"
Fanny's face went red. Then she
said in stage whisper:
For Mr.. Barnston."
"Ah!" breathed Mrs. Hyssop, very
much as If she had had a drink OF
some refreshing beverage.
"You must have noticed" resumed
Fanny, that he has been attentive to
me-quite attentive. AS l have no
mother, l thought all along that l
would some day come to you, who
have been so very kind to me, and
confide in you and ask your advice.
You know more about Mr.. Barnston
than I do. He told me he had been
boarding here for two years"
"Yes, for two whole years." put in
Mrs. Hyssop. Ever since l opened
up"
"You must have had a rare chance
to study him." Fanny said. "You must
know If he has any-any qualities that
are not-not-good."
Mrs. Hyssop sat more erect. She
turned her head to one side pensively.
Fanny now came to the point with
almost superhuman abruptness, ask.
ing:
"Do you think ought to marry him,
Mrs. Hyssop?"
The suddenness with which the
question came made the landlady
vince. Then she beamed upon her fair
boarder.

giving the honor to the 10Th w. Va, the
23d Ill. and 54th Pa, under Col. Curtis,
of the 18th w. Va. | will let Col. Pot
ter, who commanded the brigade, in his
official report, tell the story. He moved
the 10th Ohio and the 34th Mass. from
Hatcher's Run about s a. III. and came
into an open field directly in front of Fort
Gregg, and by an oblique movement and
then by half-wheel succeeded in placing
the 10th Ohio on the southern front of
the fort. This gave him a direct fire on
the front and an enfilading fire ON the
western front. After a dOuble-quick ad-
vance TO the road, which was about 30
yards from the fort, orders We're given to
lie down and open direct fire into the
fort. After some minutes the order to
charge was given, which was executed
with determined effect.
The 116th Ohio was in the third line
of the assaulting column. The first line
was checked, the second also. When the
third came up it was also checked by the
troops lying in front of it, extending back
to the ditch arDl nd the fort, four or five
rods. When the order 10 charge was given
the third line was first ON its feet and
charged eyer and through the other troops,

The colors of the 10th Ohio and the
cOlOrs of the 10th Conn. were the first to
be planted upon the parapet of the fort.

the other regiments, but 1 know we lost in
that assault one commissioned officer and
IL men killed and G3 men wounded.
Other regiments named by Capt. Case
may have been in the charge for aught 1

we alone We're responsible for the result.
Our heavy loss would indicate that the
10th Ohio should have due credit for its
service. No braver men were to be found
than those other regiments named. as our
