AT THE DESERTS MARaE.

can still recall though the lapse is long
Since that spectral hour of even-song,
How the sun from the desert skyline
made
The pyramids cast a wedge of shade
Toward the tawny river, and how the
moon,
Over the minarets peering soon,
Flung the segment of shadow back.
Long and peaked and purple-black.
While the Sphinx. inscrutable. brooded
by,
And the gaunt bats gathered momently,
Swooping and circling here and there,
Like evil dreams, in the haunted air;
And great flamingo. winged in flight.
A giant rose in the cleaning light.
] still can hear from far aloof,
Drifting out from a wattled roof
And a blistered clay wall bare and mean,
The cheerless chant of the fellaheen-
medley of shrilly barbarous bars
Jangling and jostling up to the stars.
! still can catch, divinely blent.
The Glove and citron and jasmine scent
From the distant gardens and orchards
blown
Out to the marge Of the desert zone;
And still: can feel about me cast
The clutching spell of the yelled and vast
And pever-fathomed wide sand sea-
Its ancient magic and mystery
Here might the flower of wonder ope-
The mystical lotus-bloom of Hope
Showing calyx where, opal-wise,
Glisten the dews of Paradise.
Here might the dreams that the Prophet
krew-
Marvel and miracle,,come true;
The genii-guarded gates of Doom
Rise from their infinite depths of gloom !;
Heaven descend, and its portals swing
Back with ethereal cadencing,
And a voice of more than mortal breath
Whisper the secret of life and death.

veteran expressed his individual views,
And while seated in saddle, shivering
in the wind blowing from the distant
Chesapeake, and wishing the chief
would quit his comments on the orders
of the corps commander and trot home
to dinner, Benton caught sight of a
little column of cavalry riding defect
eddy in from the far left flank. Horses
jaded, men disguised, and three or
four prisoners in their wake looked
worst of all. Where dye s'pose those
dam-fools have come from?" asked
the general, cheerfully. Captain" he
cried, hailing the officer in command,

The officer touched his cap, turned
out of column, so as not to halt the

By this time the greater part of the

coats, had plodded by, and the squad
of prisoners came footing it YEARLY
after. Foremost of these a tall, thin
faced, ungainly specimen, dressed in
one of those self-same cavalry over

from under his broad-brimmed SLOUGH

watery-eyed pair of orderlies at his

FINALLY WEDS HIS
L0NG-LOST LOVE
A REJECTED SUIToR REMAINS
TRUE TO OLD SWEETHEART.
REUNITED BY AN ACCIDENT
New York Teacher Marrfes Nan She
Spurned Forty Years Ago@Story
of the Remarkable
Romance.

Kingston, N. Y.-After 40 years
separation Miss Margaret Caldwell
and Irving Kinney, of GAINESVILLE, N. Y,
met by accident in the village hotel
at New Paltz the other night, and
their marriage in this city "a hours
later completed their remarkable ro-
nance.
Miss Caldwell was the belle OF
GAINESVILLE 40 years ago, and had many
suitors, among the most ardent being
Kinney, handsome young fellow of
good family and education, who swore
that no woman but Maggie Caldwell
should ever be his wife. He laid his
heart and fortunes before her, only to
be refused.
Shortly after the rejection of his
suit Kinney left GAINESVILLE. Occasion
ally reports of his successes reached
home and found their way to Miss
Caldwell. Whether she repented over
the GOODNESS with which she had re-
ceived Kinney's advances is her Sc
cret. In a few years, rejecting all
other suitors, she decided to devote
her life to school-teaching, and she,
too, left GAINESVILLE. With the death
of her family and friends the last ties
that bound her to the village where
she was born were severed years ago.
When Kinney had seen enough of
the world to deaden, as he thought,

distance of each other, the orders
against communication of any kind
had become exacting, for it was evil
dent that Burnside was marshaling his
grand divisions for move.
In the early summer time, when he
hated to leave the front and longcd to
push on to Richmond or Charlottes-

Washington. Now, when he longed to
go to Washington, there was prospect
of midwinter dash across the Rap

capital, and several such tribunals
were in session, trying officers of vari-
GUS grades. Many new regiments had
come and were held about the city
until suitably drilled and disciplined.
AS a consequence the avenues again
crowded, and many thrifty households
were coming" money taking boarders.
Mention has been made of DR.. Chill
toms sister. with whom they were
again dwelling after their return from
the summer seashOre. Being only
moderately well-to-do. and besieged
with applications, she had yielded to
pressure and let two of her rooms to
officers sojourning in the city. Then
one of these, ordered west, begged
leave to present successor, major
of new regiment, who, being a
smart" lawyer, had been assigned to
duty as judge advocate of court
for the trial of officers of rank in the
volunteers. When the squire wrote
that McKinnon had been appointed

roof that shielded DR.. Chiffon and the
lady of his love. 1t meant mischief
and Benton knew it.
One bleak December morning Ben
ton had ridden with his general down
the river bank on the Stafford side
and sat watching the work of the
engineers. The pontoon wagons were
being run to the front, and many an

GHOST HOAX EXPLODED.
Supposed Spirits Prove to Be Two
Mischievous Youths-Captured
by Newspaper Men,.

Akron, Newspaper men went to
Ravenna the other night and exploded
the ghost story of that town.
While a party of probably so were
exercising the keenest vigilance in the
yard about the Veon home, the old
piano in the house, the only article
the family left there, began humping.
Next came a tapping on the upstairs
window. Dishes ratified and other pc
culiar noises issued from the house.
Finally it was decided to bag the
ghost and four or five approached the
house and managed to get window
open. One more venturesome than the
others lit match and stuck his head
in. The sounds continued and there
was no visible cause. Then revolvers
were drawn as protection.
Finally sufficient courage was mun-
tered TO allow the invaders to get in
side the house. Nothing was found on
the first floor, and up the narrow stair
way the trail was taken, revoIvers
leading the way. BY this time -
mysterious sounds had ceased In

the pangs that had returned whenever
he thought of his boyish love- he re-
turned to GAINESVILLE. The old wounds
were reopened. He inquired where
Miss Caldwell had gone, but no one was
able to tell him. She had passed out
of his life, he thought, but he deter
mined to keep his youthful vow, and
thereafter no woman, no matter how
beautiful or charming, received more
than a passing glance from him, and
he devoted himself to his work.
The friends of his youth had retired
and their place was being taken by
younger generation, but still the
love of the man remained. In the
meantime Miss Caldwell had become
a member of the faculty of the New
York state normal school, at New
Paltz, Ulster county.
Among the strangers at the village
hotel the other afternoon was one VINO
kept looking across the table at dis
tinguished looking woman. His heart
almost stopped beating. He thought
he recognized the face that had been
enshrined in his heart for 40 years.
AS soon as he could recover his self.
possession he leaned over and asked
the woman if he could speak with her
for few minutes alone. The request
was graciously granted and they re-
tired to the hotel parlor. What was
said is their secret.
The stalwart stranger and Miss
Caldwell came to Kingston Thursday
night, and at the home of Mrs. Mar
garet Conklin, friend of the brides
they were married. When wedding
music was proposed one of the few
guests suggested that the occasion
was too unusual for ordinary wedding
marches, and only the love songs ia.
| miliar 40 years ago were played at the
romantic wedding.

Knew what He Wa. Doing.

An Indian chief was crossing wide
and rapid stream in canoe with his
mother, who was very old, and his
wife. The canoe upset and the chief
swan out with his mother, though
the old squaw begged him to save his
wife and leave her to drown, as she
had not many moons to live, anyway.
When he reached the shore some OF
the tribe who had witnessed the event
questioned the soundness of his judg-
ment, for the same reason given by
the old squaw; but the chief put an
end to the discussion with this remark.
