where the gunboat left us with the assur-
ance that there was no danger above that
point; the rebel batteries had all been
cleaned out

by a great rafting on the upper deck, as
of a shower of large hailstones. This was
Immediately followed by a discharge

fastening into the cabin, 1 found the
officers the floor. They motioned me to
get down, and 1T was not too soon; balls
and scrap iron were hurled through the
cabin scattering splinters and glass in
every direction. Shell after shell was fired
into the wheel in an effort TO disable the
boat; we were in front of a rebel battery!
For a short time there the widest
excitement among the soldiers on deck,
when they found that the boat was nearing
the shore But the black Stoker stood over
our rebel captain and threatened TO brain
him with the poker, if he did not turn the
boat out into the stream. In a few minutes
we were out OF TdISe

Strange to tell, we were fired on in the
Ohio river. My brother was sitting out

attention to man on the north side of
the river, who appeared to be hunting.

fired. Ping, the bullet struck the smoke

If Life Were All.

II life were all.
Where were the recompense
For all our tears?
The troubled toll
OF all the long drawn years,
The struggle to survive
The passing show
Were scarce worth while
II life were all.
II life were all,
What were IL worth TO live7
To build on pain,
SO soon to learn
Our building were but vain,
And then TO pass
To some vague nothingness
Were scarce worth while,
II life were all.
Life is not all.
l do not know the plan:
i only know that God is good
And that His strength sustains.
/ only know that He is just:
SO in the starless. songless night
i lift my face and trust.
And God my spirit witness bears
Life is not all.

under the seat opening one on one side and
one on the other.
The idea came to her, she says, when her
youngest child was an infant and she found
it harder than when she was a young
mother to reach 10 the floor for the several
articles needed in bathing, dressing and
caring for the babe. That was more than
ten years ago and the idea has been gath
ering force in her mind ever since. becom-
ing a matter of light jest in the family
circle until rough sketch drawn by her
led Prof Study to take an interest in the
matter. After consultation with local
patent attorney il was decided to apply for
a patent on the device and the patent Of
flee readily granted the claim.
A chair fitted out by a local furniture
maker and has been viewed by hundreds
of women in this city who have heard of it.
There is scarcely any other topic of con-
versation among the groups of callers.
The chair will be sent TO the st. Louis fair,
where il will be shown with the drawers
open and divided into compartments Tor
baby fxin's'-combs, brushes, etc. .ad in
fintum.
If the devoted mother cannot reach what
she wants in one drawer with her right
hand she reaches with her left and does
not have TO rise from her chair. The chair
can be adjusted of course TO rockers and
all styles of chairs and becomes quite as
handy a sewing chair as for women with
young babies.
Mrs. Study expects the chair 10 be made
and sold on royalty. The Study chair is
the sensation of the hour here and orders
for il are rushing in 10 the inventor by the
dozen even before the second one is made.
