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 rifeman hid in the thicket
Tis nothng-a private or two now and then
viii not count in the news OF the battle;
Not an officer lost-only one Of the men,
Moaning out all alone, his death rattle
All quiet along the Potomac tonight
Where the soldiers lie peacefully dreaming;
Their tents in the rays of the clear autumn moon,
Or the light of the watchfres are cleaning.
tremuIous sigh, as the gentle night wind
Thru 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 sentrys tread,
AS he tramps from the rock to the fountain,
And thinks of the two in the low trundle bed
Far away in the cot the mountain
His musket falls slack-his face, dark and grim,
Grows gentle with memories tender
AS he mllrnurs prayer for the children asleep,
For their mother-Inay heaven defend her
The moon seems to shine just as brightly as them
That night when the love yet unspoken
Leaped I'D to his lips-when low murmured VOWS
Were pledged to be ever unbroken.
Then drawing his sleeve roughly over his eyes,
He washes off tears that yelling,
And gathers his gun closer up to its place,
AS if to keep down the heart-sweling
He passes the fountain, the blasted pine tree
The footstep is Tagging and weary;
Yet onward he goes, thru the broad belt OF light,
Toward the shades of the forest so dreary.
Hark was it the night wind that rustled the leaves?
Was it moonlight suddenly flashing?
It looked like rife-"Ah, Mary, goodbyep
And the life blood is ebbing and splashing
All quiet along the Potomac tonight
No sound save the rush of the river;
While soft falls the dew on the face Of the dead
The pcket's off duty forever!
ETHEL BEERS.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt visited
Washington this week for the first
time since he quit the Office Of Pres
ident, which he did in strenuous
style, hurrying from the Capitol as
soon as the new President took the
oath Of office to take his train for
New York and Africa. 1t was
strange sight to Washington to view
the Colonel going about town unat-
tended by either Army or Secret
Service officers.

Washington News

Washington, D. c. Nov. 22-There
is no doubt that Senator Aldrich
and his co-laborers of the Monetary
Commission will undertake at the
coming session to put through
bill which will embody the commits
sion's initial effort at currency re-
form. The Rhode Island Senator
will retire from public life after the
fourth of next March, and is ambi-
tious to crown his service in the
Senate by a measure which will re-
fleet credit upon his name and pro-
mote the business welfare of the
country: 1t is doubted however in
several quarters whether any legis-
lation can be enacted at the short
session save such as the regular APP
preparation bills, unless Congress
will sit continuously during the
time usually given to holidays.

S. B. Nelson has just completed
his new barn near the site Of the old
one which was destroyed by fire over
a year ago. The barn is 40x40 with
an eight foot basement walled with
stone. The barn is clapboarded and
the roof is covered with corrugated
galvanized iron roofing. The stable
is sheathedup fitted with swing stan
chions arranged for ten cows and with
two box stalls for horses. A drive
way will be added later for the upper
floor.
One of the fine jobs in road work
which was done by the selectmen last
year was that near Willoughby Riy-
er close to the Browpington line. To
protect the highway they cut a deep
channel for the river through the
woods, made a stone dam, put in
strong wall in the river and turned
the water out of its natural channel
into the artificial one. They also
built a riverside wall 400 feet long, ten
feet high and four feet thick on the
bank of the stream. It is thought
that this will thoroughly protect the
highway.
