Be was descended on his father's side from one of those hardy seamen who first sailed under the now historic Ark of our country. In the memorable navnl fight off Portland between the Yankee craft Enterprise and the British brig Boxer, Philip's ancestor bore a gallant and con spicuous part It was into his arms th youthful Commander Burroughs full, re fusing to be carried below; he, who when the sword of the vanquished enemy was presented to him, clasped his hands and exclaimed: "I am satisfied. I die contented." On the other side of the family tree the fires of patriotism burnt equally aa bright. Time and time again had Philip, when a lad, begged his father to tell him the story of that memorable fight on the vil lage green nt Lexington, where his grand father sealed with his life's blood his de votion to a just and noble cause. The life of Philip Larrabee, like that of his father, seemed destined to be an eventful one, but one of those fatal epi demics which periodically sweep throngh a community left Philip and his sister Martha, some three years his senior, alone to struggle against a cold and un sympathetic world. Philip and his sister had a widowed annt who lived on the outskirts of one of those villages that so picturesquely sit on the rugged coast of the old Bay State, overlooking the blue waters that con tinually kiss its shore. In the humble abode of this good woman, who in every way tried to heal their griefs and fit them for the stern realities of life, the two orphan children fonnd a home and a loving heart Having a natural taste for the water, Philip soon became expert in the sailing of little craft Martha, under his tuition, in time could handle a boat almost as well, and often she would, while Philip was away, be seen at the helm managing it with the ease and grace of her brother. Philip's eighteenth birthday had come and gone, and he had now developed into a sturdy, well formed young man. One evening he came home from the village quite late an occurrence unusual for him, for he rarely missed sitting down to the evening meal with his aunt and sister. "I wonder where Phil can be?" said Martha. "Here it is after 7 o'clock and no sign of him yet" But in this she was mistaken, for glancing ont of the window she saw Philip rapidly coming np the road, open the gate, and running np the neat gravel walk leading to the house, burst into the room before her annt had replied to her question. "Why, Philt What is the matter? Has anything dreadful happened at the village?" exclaimed Martha. "Yes yes, everything has happened! Fort Sumter has been fired upon the president has called for troops, and I have enlisted I" As Philip said this he clasped Martha in his strong arms, and before she could recover from her amazement at the start ling news, he pressed a warm and loving kiss upon her lips and continued: "Don't discourage me from going, Mar Uia please don'tl 1 feel as though father and mother would rise up in their graves and point their fingers at mo in scorn if I refused to respond to our coun try's appeal. I would disgrace the blood that flows through our veins if I now failed to do my duty." Philip looked down into his sister's face. A bright smile greeted his glance, and as she tried to keep back the tears she said: "Phil, if you had done otherwise I be lieve I should have hated you as much as I now love you!" The next twelve months were most eventful ones in the life of Philip Larra bee. With feelings of pride and joy, but mingled with feur and anguish, Martha followed, through the accounts in the papers and letters from Philip, the move ments and deeds of his regiment es pecially 60 when after one of those des perate engagements that occurred in the earlier period of the war she read of Philip's promotion to sergeant and color bearer. He had seized tho regimental flag from the hands of him who relin quished it only in death, aud had bravely carried it through tho rest of that sun gniuary day till victory at last perched upon its tattered folds. Philip's regiment, thinned by death and disease to loss than ono-half of its origiuul uumber, now enjoyed a brief Benson of rest. In comfortable quarters, consisting of log hula built from the neighboring for est, they poacefully and quietly passed the winter months in the beautiful val ley of the Shenandoah. Spring drew near, and as it approached active prep arations for the coming campaign were begun. During the commencement of these preparations Philip one day re ceived orders to report to the colonel ot his regiment. He found the colonel standing in front of the rough fireplace in his little quar ters, npparpntly in deep thought and awaiting his coming. "Philip," said h, turning and gazing steadily into his eyo aj though he would read his inmost thoughts, "the goncral has requested of mo a man, one that I know to be brave, discreet and to be depended upon un der the most trying circumstances. He desires him for a service which will not only require nerve and courage, bnt will at times place him in positions of tho most desperate and dangerous character. I know no one in the regiment whom I could so trustingly rely upon as yourself. Do you care to volunteer?" Without a moment's hesitancy Philip calmly replied, "Colonel, I am ready at all times to serve my country in any ca pacity dnty requires." As the colonel proceeded to unfold to him the mission the general wished to send him upon, and the manner in which he was t leave, a deathly pallor for a moment overspread Philip's face. The colonel stopped. "Do you hesi tate?" said he. "This is to be voluntary on your part; you are not obliged to go if yon do not wish to do so." "No no," Philip replied, "I wish to go it is my desire to do so, but I wna thinking for a moment of Martha, my sister, and of the pain she would suffer when she hears of my being missing. I ra ready, colonel. I will try and do my duty, but if anything should happen to mo see that no stain is allowed to rest on my name." It was late when Philip left the col onel's quarters. As he did so the old veteran grasped him warmly by the hand, and while a tear trickled down his bronzed cheek said: "God bless and protect you, Philip. I hopo to be tho first to welcome you back." The next morning Philip Larrabee, for the first time since his enrollment as a soldier, failed to answer his name at the roll call. Doubt, uncertainty and innuendoes nro as great a load for a lov ing heart to carry as tho deepest sorrow. Martha, alarmed at first in not hearing from Philip as nsnal, felt her heart sink ( within her when she learned that he was reported as missing. Everything relat ing to his strange disappearance was of the most vague aud unsatisfactory char acter. He was missing from his com pany, that was all that was kuown. Whether ho had deserted, whether he was alive or dead, no one seemed able to tell. But Martha believed him to be alive, although she could not fathom the mystery. She moved about as in a trance, and seemed oblivious to all her surroundings. Soon after this the little boat, once the constant companion of these two loving hearts, was fonnd in a battered condi tion on the rocky shore of the bay some distance from the village. Its mistress was not to be found. The villagers said she had at last given away to her grief and sought consolation and rest in the deep waters that knew her so well The army had now moved forward and was in close proximity to the enemy. Among those who stole into the Union lines after this advance was a person ap parently a fanner. He proceeded at once to the headquarters of Philip's regi ment, and the colonel, so the sentinel on dnty there afterward declared, threw his arms around his neck and hugged him with joy. They were soon in the presence of the general, and although it is not known what happened at the in terview it was evidently of an important nature. The next day Philip Larrabee report ed to the captain of his company for duty and once more took charge of the colors. The thunder of battle once more re sounded throngh the peaceful hills and valleys of the Shenandoah. The bri gade, of which Philip's regiment formed a part, laid on its arms under cover of some woods opposite one of the enemy's strongest intrenchments. From these works the Confederate) batteries kept up a most active and deadly fire. These guns must be silenced, and to do so the brigade is ordered to take them at the point of the bayonet At the command the troops move out from under the cover and take position in full view of the enemy. The lines are formed, orders given, and the command moves forward under a ter rible fire as steadily as if on parade. A large opening consisting in part of meadow, and then the rough ground of an old potato patch has to be passed be fore the hills are reached on which the enemy is so securely intrenched. As the brigade moves through the meadow they get orders to "double quick," and with cheer upon cheer they steadily push for ward under a murderous fire. When the edge of the potato patch is reached Philip, still carrying the colors, stops, staggers in his tracks and fulls forward. The line hesitates, wavers, as though un able to proceed further. As Philip sinks to the ground, death stamping its seal upon his noble face, a comrade catches with one hand the staif, now stained with the warm life blood of its faithful guardian; then, bending over his almost lifeless form, exclaims in tones of inde scribable anguish and tenderness: "Phil! my dourest Phil!" What voice is that? At its tender and appealing tone the dying man looked into the face of his comrade a look of happiness a recognition in which soul speaks to soul, a light of unutterable joy for a second steals over the shadow of death, aud in a dying whisper murmurs "Murtha!" The pause is but momentary fright ful gups close up and tho lines move for ward with renewed precision nnd do termination. The colors again proudly flout through the smoke of battlo. With eyes fastened upon its torn and blood stained folds, now being borne toward the enemy far in udvanco, tho men clear the potato patch and charge with re doubled ciforts up tho hill from which their ranks meet death aud desolation. The color bearer is first on tho heights, but tho next instant the deadly minnie bull seeks another victim, and Murtha, tho heroine, the noblo successor of her brother, falls lifeloss insido the enemy's works. Her spirit takes its flight with that of Philip's, and both will awake to the reveille in anothor world. O. A. B. gWtte. . No Medium Like tho Newspaper, The advertising man of a well known New York clothing house says: "We wrro tho first to uso tho sails of ves sels as an advertising medium. Then we got np the 'alphabet puzzle,' and gave away 60(1,000 puzzles while tho craze lasted. Afterward we invented the Wnterbnry watch idea. VS'o had to do something, because three of our prin cipal competitors had failed, and their stocks wore being sold for next to nothing by assignees; so we decided to give a Wnterbnry watch with every twelve dollars' worth of goods pur chased. We advertised the watches 'wound nnd set' To wind them fast enough we had to rig up a little machine worked like a sewing machiue that would do the winding, nnd we kept several boys at work winding and setting them. Before we quit we had given away 40,000 of the watches. "But nothing ever pays us like the or dinary newspaper advertising. The fact is there has come to be in this city a class of advertisement renders just as there is of news readers. They read the advertisements every day, ahd of conrso the man who wants to attract them has to get np an advertisement that will do it The day of standing advertisements in the paper, 'QotoSo-and-So's for cloth ing,' or 'Go to This-and-That's for shoes,' has passed, just as the day for painting signs on rocks and fences or on the sails of loats has passed. You must have something interesting and fresh in every advertisement, nnd it will be read. A Place for Talent. In nearly all regulated lines of indus try at present the advertising man is one of tho most important adjuncts of a business. And on the tho other hand tho advertising department of a first cliiss newspaper is not what it used to be, but is instead fiist becoming an in teresting feature of all enterprising jour nals. Formerly the prevailing idea among the uninitiated was that the talented, the best, most versatile and most ingenious writers nnd nrtiHts were all employed in tho news department. How nearly correct this idea may have been need not be stilted, but that such is not the case now may be seen by n perusal of the "ads" of any flourishing paper. The competitions between the merchants nnd between the papers' agents have become so great that the great wholesale nnd retail houses of tho large cities employ talented men nt big salaries to attend to their advertising alone, nnd the men who want the best positions in the counting rooms of news papers must combine fine business quali fications with the talent that wins suc cess in the editorial chair. Yenowine's News. Advertising Necessary to Success. The merchant or manufacturer who does not advertise his goods cannot suc ceed. Of late newspaper advertising has become a distinct trade in itself, and all over the country leading concerns pay fabulous prices for men who are skillful in writing catchy advertisements. In many large cities there are men earning from 13,000 to $10,000 a year to write ad vertisements. This fact in itself shows advertising pays. If people interested in this subject will investigate it for themselves they will find that the leading advertisers in The Plain Dealer are the merchants who have the best stores, the best assort ments of goods and who sell at the most reasonable prices. Such merchants do a much larger business than merchants who do not advertise; consequently they turn their goods over more quickly and can afford to give better prices. Close buyers appreciate this. What is the moral? He who advertises the most judiciously succeeds the best, and the buyers who seek the best bargains patronize such merchants. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Never Be Commonplace. "Bring your feet with you and have them fitted to a pair of our common sense shoes," is the way a Pittsburg dealer advertises. It is a good phrase and one which attracts attention. The man who succeeds in advertising in such a way that people read his advertise ment is the one who draws trade to his store as sure as a magnet draws a needle to itself. Study np quaint, pithy or witty phrases to head your advertise ments, and be not too modest in the space they occupy. Brockton Shoe. Regular Publications Best, No one takes up a regular publication without the expectation of finding some thing of interest The simple act of turning the pages is as positive an ex ample of expectation as is the opening of a closet if one is in search of a coat. Hence an announcement in a regular publication has an advantage over any other form of business solicitation that of meeting the sought for eye at a time that it is in a mood for such greeting. A. C. Ladd. Fulfill Every IYomlse. The merchant who desires the confi dence and custom of intolligont people should never make a promise that ho does not fulfill, or hold out, cither by express statement or inference, any in ducements that are not fully substan tiated by the facts. There is no endur ing success where confidence is lacking on tho part of customers. Any success not fonndod on square and liberal deal ing is sure to be short lived. Uho Common Souse. That people shonld use the same prac tical common senue in advertising that is necessary to transact any other busi ness would seem to be an indisputable proposition. Vet there aro gentlemen who are extremely good business men in all other respects who will make grievous errors in this direction. Knox ville Sentinel. Must Have Genius. The simplest advertisements some times require the most care and thought in their construction. To write a column is a matter of time, but to edit it down into a sentence is something more.
