Missed by Narrow Margin.

Speaking of good Shots" said Ser
geant Sam Grimshaw, Orderly Ser
geant Humphreyville, of Company B.,
Fifty-second Ohio, missed one in front
of Atlanta by narrow margin. When
we first moved into position near the
sandtown road, the orderly's place in
the line was in shallow ravine, and
almost as soon as we were located he
proceeded to build in front of him a
shield or protection of stones. 1t was
the rule then for every man to look aft
er his own fortifications, and to stand
by them. After Humphreyville had
completed his little stone fort, he had a
premonition that it wasn't safe, and he
changed position to the south, four or
five feet. He had scarcely made the
change when the stones he had piled
up in front Of his first position were
struck by solid shot and sent flying
IN every direction. If he had not
moved he would have been killed, and
yet his place in line seemed just as safe
as any on Company BIS front After
that when any one of the boys had a
feeling that they ought to move they
moved, and the orderly made no re-
marks. ."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

The federal started ON his return

fully expected chance shot would
cripple him and cause him to fall into

He was half way across when the
first shot came. There was another
and another, until the whole brigade
seemed to be firing at him.
The fugitive walked rapidly onward
until he reached the federal lines and
vaulted over the breastwork. Then he
looked back and saw his protector
standing on the dixie. The confeder-
ate waved his hand turned about, and

A GENTLEMAN OF HONOR.
Confederate Lieutenant Kept His
Word in Spite of Orders and
Flying Bullets.

The Atlanta Constitution relates
this interesting war reminiscence:
Lieut.. c. A. Coryell, formerly of tho
One Hundred and Forty-first New
York Volunteers, Twentieth Army
corps, was with Sherman on the ia
nous march to the sea. One bright
Sunday in December, 1864. the lieuten-
ant was detailed to take charge of the
picket line in front of Savannah, on
the edge of rice swamp. There was
truce between the pickets, and
everything wore Sabbath-like still
ness.
Coryell had nothing to do. and was
out of tobacco. How to get a chew
some young officer from the confeder-
ate side strolled out between the lines.
Coryeli hailed him at once:
II say, Johnny, got any chewing to-
bacco over there?"
"Yes, plenty of it-something good"
"Come over!" shouted the federal.
81 want to buy some. Got lots of con-
federate money, but no tobacco"
Cant do it," replied the confeder-
ate, cts against orders to leave my
post"
"Well, then, come half way, and I'll
meet you"
Sorry, Yank, but I can't do that,
either" yelled the confederate.
Johnny" yelled the desperate fed
eral, ''if l come over to you can l get
the tobacco and return safely to my
lines?"
Come along, I'll treat you right"
How do you know that l will not
be taken prisoner?"
You have the word of gentleman
and confederate officer"
Coryell thought a moment. He
wanted the tobacco, and the young
officer had spoken in a manly way.
The federal decided to make the
venture He laid aside his sword and
belt and started across the high and
narrow dixie leading to the confederate
line. On either side of the dixie the
water in the rice fields was ten feet
deep.
The lieutenant reached the opposite
shore without any misgivings. The
confederate produced some tobacco
and trade was made in no time. Then
the two fell into pleasant converse.
ton.
Suddenly Coryell saw signal fiutter
from house some distance in tho
rear of the confederate line.
What does that mean?" he asked.
sharply.
Just then an orderly dashed up on
horseback and with a dignified salute
said to the confederate officer.
Lieutenant, the general orders you
to take the Yankee officer to head
quarters"
Coryell was dumfounded. Visions
of Andersonville, Castle Thunder and
Libby prison danced before his eyes
He thought of his loved ones at home
and the disgrace attached to such a
capture.
He cursed the Internal tobacco that
had placed him in such an unlucky
position. Then he looked at the con-
federate lieutenant and noted the hon
est eye and his manly face.
"Am 1 your prisoner" asked Cor
yell.
The confederate extended his right
hand.

said. go to your lines. l will follow

HER HEARTS DESIRE.

All trim and sweet and debonair
In dainty gown of silk and lace,
The Little Doll stood leaning where
Each passer-by might see her face.
She seemed contented in her place;
She smiled upon the busy street
out of q cloud Of flaXen hair;
From bright blue eyes to slippered rect
She looked so happy none would guess
She had a moments loneliness
Or wished moment she might pass
Beyond the shining prison-glass.
The Little Girl who loved her well
Knew what the dollys longings were:
There was no need of speech to tell
That simple tale, It seemed to her.
She stood without q comforter
Uncontrolled. with arms that yearned
To clasp and keep forbidden JOY.
We. going quickly past, discerned
Only a gay. beribboned toy;
But she who fingered understood;
And all the world went by unheard,
So deep the mother In her stirred.
They marked the Little Doll "unsold.'
And land her In some dreary room
To wait through hours of dark and colo,
Until better day should come.
To them, she only seemed dumb,
Wax thing-they could not read Alright
A truth too fragile for their sight.
Only the eyes of childhood see
Beneath the dusty facts of life
A wonder-word, forever rife
With beauty and with mystery;
Our little dolls" are far behind
When the long years have made us olind
The Little Girl-God called one day,
And drew her footsteps up toward Him;
From play and little plans of play
She passed into the shadows dim.
She had no fretful word to say,
No last reproach that none had given
The joy her heart had bled to hold;
With tiny passion all untold
She went, unfaltering, the way
The far. forgetful way-to Heaven.
Upon the quiet, childish breast,
And in the yielding arms they laid
Fair buds and blossoms for her rest;-
For all the silent idle hours
A wealth of costly. fragrant flowers.
"She loved the flowers best" they said;
Living she loved them best, and dead
She would most wish to hold them So"
They thought-Ah. WELL they did not know
