"If you , iaaee,' s'ae roplifd, in a

and ailter-Uited. "if, jot. plea e. sir,

"What is the matter with your
rather?" I Asked, fej trfui it beings de
ceived. Oh. sir. J 'don't ka)W," she an
swered, in -lira earn a to s as before,
but I fenrbt is goin a toale."
Tho earnest mannercf .rho broken
hearted girl, made rruiaihimed of hav
ing doubted Iter at firv,. and I re
solved to complj-with L request I
was in just th? mood for as no al vent
ure where tr.ero ta aa epporturf j
of accomplishii; an obj?A of benevo
lence, a&d I trjilinry fUlowed my
timid, sorrowful little jruiJebauic to
her home.
The tTirl leu vo ' iralo a small and
somowhat dilapLlated houa, and in
vited metoaacen a snuvll au d narrow
atalrcasa. At the head of tiai stairs I
heard her trrrvf ir about Antll her
hand tonthed ;tho latch of a door,
which shererjj.fi3kinjj me. in a low
voice, to follow into the rom.
I did so. ud X.und myseif in an
humble aptrrtrntvit. where scrupulous
nettnesti ww'rnod atrutjlinjr apainst
-absolute waat. 'TJv dim litf t of a
dickering lamp whirih stood oa-a small
table near the door-revealed to me the
..anty furni-Siwe. Thih I found-lo cob--;i-it
of a few erjiiuirs.'tte table already
-Mentioned. ej&ot er other articles
Cf minor irnxr-tancc. a bed in the. most
.-retired part ot cLe;rooa-. .
The eirl trrrred limner before mo
H&4 pointed to the boil. -
"C'omethis wts-, eiv. it you "plea-V
hfc arhispcred; -r iejroiia tfather."
Ashe turned tw aprrot-ch the :Wd
aide.iif tho ufferjr to apprize him of
nay iprvsence I siieatly ibr.ushed away
a tetv which the airht .of her griaf
worja,, pallid cheeka Aiiileyt red with
I. miM.ii iroepinif caused to start through,
tuy oyMMli.
Mj jtuthful guide rvect ov- the Bicjc
man auiq, layingr her cijAik,cle to his.
while tcr arms encircled :hfs neck,
whispered something in his jar. A
moment nter she arose, and placing
a chair aJi'.y bedside, begged aie to
approach. , '
Seating1 myself in the icixair she
placed for xue. I took the hiod of the
invalid, arvd grazed for the rt time
full upon his Ijtc a. I shall never for
it the spectaeJe. Although much
r-LKtciatod. his features betrayed h
epcrit of pride in tho midst of poerty,
of resolution in arerslty.'. and of the
stem endurance dtirini? his momenta
of scrony t which 4welt within his
brea.Ht-
I wa arxut to au.irar9 him7 when he
cut mephort by gpeakiu first.
"You find me in a kad condition,"
sir." said he, with a nuia I thought
rather bitter. "I can't A?oy that lam
actually crushed by sick a .3 and mis
fortune; thi you will reiuSij'j believe,
for I could B?ver hare stoopl to ask
assistance of any one had I not rxten
perfectly helpless. And even dost, sir,
I doubt whether I would not have died
before asking a favor cf any one had
it not been for the broken-hearted girl
who conducted you hither."
1 can not describe my sensations on
hearing these words, so full of prida
and candor, fall from the lips of a man
who might be dying. It was plain to
be seen that the invalid had once seen
better days and moved in circles of r- j
fjnumoat, and 1 wag sure that his in-
""" -
teilect was of th finest order. It was
owing to the-e peculiar circumstances
of th case thaB I became deeply inler
ef.tri in my nrw acquaintances and felt
aAxtous to relieve them, and at the
saate time V learn 6omethinr ot their
fcistory. A'ter conversing wit the in
valid for, few moments he intimated
to me that he would willinrly let me
into theeerets of his history provided
tho gir! was not present ti S'.sten.
Aecor-dingly 1 directed '-little Hety."
as the old man called Iter, to go for a
physt-oian of my acquaiKance, telling
her 1 would stay by rrr father until
she veturned. The nigis. waa not cold,
ant I felt that it o.ld benefit her
boily and divert her ariind to take a
wlk in tho city, avfch the ways of
trhich she waa very -wall acquainted.'
Hetty had scarse$- left the house
"when tho dooMeIl trang. The sick
man said that the flower part of the
house was not ocupi-ad. and requested
me to see who vas;at the door.
Carrying the lump in my hand I
proceeded down the stairs. I found a
well-dressed perttleman at' the door,
who seemed surprised on seeing me in
such a plare.
"Does Mr. SttHey reside herer'' be
a?ked. ' ' ' ' -
"I doaTcnoithat he doe," I .re
plied. - i .

LESSONS FROM BASE-BALL.
A Fresvclier Find. Material in the Game
fr a 1'ulpit Iieour.
Rev. Forrest E. Daor, of Holy Trini
ty K. rl Church, preached recently a
sermon upon the "Moral Lessons on
Base-Ball," taking- his U xt from
F-ecles. xL. 9. The sermon is one of a
series that Mr. Dager is delivering
upon the nmusements of youth, and
contained many unique parallels on
the National game. He declared that
the game on general principles was a
good thing, and said;
"We can not afford to ignore any
thing that has taken such a universal
hold upon tho lives of our young men
as base-ball, and there are many les
sons to Ve learned from it. First, the
umpira; the most imjMyrtant person
about a game is the u;npire. Great
difficulties are experienced in securing
competent umpires, and there are not
over half a dozen in tho whole country.
From this we can draw the inference,
if a man is not competent to settle dis
putes arising between man and man
he certainly is not to settle those be
tween God and man. In the great
game of life with God as the umpire,
you are bound to have fair play.
'A 9econd feature is tho need of
skilled and temperate players. All the
big clubs have found it necessary to have
men who have had long practice, and
who are willing to abstain from strong
drink. . This is also necessary to make
a success of the great game of life.
What one error may cost! It can be
6afely paid that the great majority of
all games were lost by one or two
errors. So it is that one misstep in
life may mean everlasting defeat.
Another thing urged is the great need
of sinking individuality in obtaining
success in general team work. The
best results in tho church are obtained
In this way. Finally, the enthusiasm
when the home club wins and the
silence when it makes an error. So it
ought to be in life. We should always
bo ready to render praise for good
works and refrain from criticism for
mistakes." Philadelphia Inquirer.
SQUIRRELS AND CONES.
The Clever Way In Which the Chickaree
Obtains Its Food.
Dr. R. Bell, of the Canadian Geo
logical Survey, 6ays that the chicka
ree, or red squirrel, lives largely upon
the seeds of the black and white
spruce. His method of operation is
ingenious, as would be expected of
such a wide-awake and enterprising
creature. -
The cones grow principally at the
tops of the spruce trees, and the
largest and the finest are always to be
found there. The chickaree selects a
tree distinguished either for its steep
ness and density of its upper part, or
for its leaning to one side, as either of
these characteristics makes it certain
that the cones, if detached, will fall to
the ground; then he cuts off the heavi
ly laden twigs and lets them drop.
This is done with an impatient rapid
ity. Should a person be sitting quiet
ly under a tree while one of these busy
little creatures is at work at the top,
he would see the bunches of cones
come tumbling down in such quick suc
cession that he might suppose half a
dozen squirrels were at work. Instead
of only one industrious little fellow.
These bunches seldom lodge in tho
branches below, but if the squirrel on
his way down notices one of them ar
rested in a hopeful position toward
the end of a bough, he will sometimes
run out and give it a second send off.
In climbing tall spruce trees for obser
vation of the surrounding country, I
have often noticed bunches of cones
lodged where, if started off a second
time, they would be certain to catch
again in the thick branches before
reaching the ground. The squirrels
eem to understand the situation per
fectly, and leave Buch bunohes to their
fate. The chickarees, having thrown
down a sufficient quantity for a few
days' uae, proceed to carry them to
their favorite feeding-place near by.
They peel off the scales In succession,
and nibble out tho seeds with great
rapidity. Popular Science Monthly.

A Warrior a. tentle ami Honor

tho Wnr.
Would you like an interesting war
story? We have it, and it reads like
a romance. The story begins with
the chargo of Wilson's Western cav
alry on the Confederate? around Co
lumbus. General Howell Cobb's com
mand occupied Girard, just across the
Chattahoochee river, . and the news
came that Wilson's cavalry was bear
ing rapidly on the town, and that this
dashing troop would reach Girard by
about seven o'clock in the evening.
They. came on timo and the Confeder
ate forces, greatly outnumbered, find
taken on such brief notice, were at
immense disadvantage. The Fed
eral cavalry had coma like a cy
clone, and the face of tho earth was
literally dotted with them. They held
every point around tho town and ad
vanced from all directions. Before
night they chargenl the Confederate
forces, and in a few minutes the battle
was on. Fierce was the struggle, as,
locked almost in each other's lines,
the two contesting forces fought for
supremacy. But it was soon over; the
Confederates could not hold out against
the heavy odds, and retreat was the
only escape from capture or annihila
tion. One after another the lines
broke, and in the darkness of the night
the Confederates found themselves
absolutely disorganized, companies
loot from their commands, sotdicrs
from their companies, and every man
struggling to ketu out of the enemv's
hand.
"To the briugel" 'vas tr.e cry.
The scattered Coniedei-ates ruthed
to the bridge to escape to the Georgia
side only to rind it in flames! Some
had gotten over in safety and many
went through as best they could, fight
ing fire and picking their way through
the sputtering timbers.
Among the last to pass the bridge was
Second Lieutenant Charley Howell, of
Company C, First Georgia Regiment
a boy, sea: ce eighteen y.-sars of age.
He waei lost from his company and
found himself a 6tranger among
strangers, but the gray uniform he
wore called a kind word from a strap
ping Texan who, like him, 'was a
refugee, but had fortunately escaped
on horseback, and had succeeded in
bringing another hors with him.
which he led.
"Want to ride?
adding hurriedly:
said tho Texan,
"Better git up:
we ain't got no time to spare!"1
No sooner said than done, and over
the road leading from Columbus
toward Greenville, ln Meriwether
County, tho little Lieutenant and the
sturdy Texan jogged along together in
tho darkness of the night-
The Texan was on his way to Macon,
where he hoped to join friends, and
Lieutenant Howell was on his way
home to Atlanta, and he wanted to get
there by the most direct route, which
accounted lor his not accepting tho
generous offer of his companion to
"keep your horse and come on with
me to Macon." They separated after
a day's ride together, one continuing
north toward Atlanta, and tho other
leading a riderless horse toward
Macon.
On the second day after the fight at
Girard Lieutenant Howell found him
self near Waverly Hall, in Harris
County.
Tho sun was sinking over the mount
ains, which rise in thai section as if
by some error of nature, and tho trav
eler, almost exhausted, was wonder
ing where he would rest for the night
Tho road hugged a mountain stream,
and a bend brought in full view a mill
cozily nestled on its banks, while
across the road was one of those old
time Southern mansions, of immacu
late white, with broad piazzas, and
possessing an air of hospitality which
seemed to say, "como in." Several
ladies were about tho yard, two in
deep mourning, as soon appeared, for
husbands who had gone to the war
never to return. The gray coat at the
gate attracted their eyes and opened
their hearts. "Come in," they said,
we will do the best we can for you.
You are hungry. Wo have but little
left, but what we have we will share."
Soon the traveler's 6tory was told.
The party were seated on the broad
piazza overlooking the mill, and the
chirping of the crickets-, the mo
notonous hum of the water playing
with the mill-wheel, and the noise of a
gentle wind toying with the limbs of
tho towering oaks, lent an air of
solemnity to the occasion.
There are sounds of the pattering
of horses hoofs!
In another minute tho bend is
rounded and two horsemen, magnifi
cently equipped and in full uniform
of Federal cavalry, hastily dismounted
atthegateof the mansion!
"The Yankees! The Yankees!"
screamed tho ladies, in consternation.
The riders had promptly "covered"
the young officer with their revolvers,
and, advancing toward the house, one
of them in Captain's uniform, said:
Have no fear, ladies; wo will not
harm you." Then, turning to Lieut
enant Howell, the speaker continued:
"You surrender?"
"I must; I am unarmed."
"You are a rebel?" . -
I'm not called such our way, but if
the term suits you, all right."
"You wear a Lieutenant s stripes, I
See they tako 'em young down here "
"Not too young to fightj
"Welt, come on, we will have to
take vou in charge," 'and tho three
left the yard, the cavalrymen mount
ing and the prisoner following on fooi.
In this way they left the old man
sion, turning southward. Soon tho
Captain turned to his prisoner with
the remark: "You will find it hard
work to keep up with us on foot;
hadn't you better get up behind
John?" motioning to his attendant.
Aud get up behind John he did, and in
this way they ro.ln for several hours.

turned a?idc:
"What do you want w ith that litth

"Captain." raid the prisoner, u;xt

"Who talked about it p-' the otlicer

"That i;:an there," pointing to ihc
Tennsylvauiau who had made the.
threat,
"Dang you," said the officer, "don't
you know that this is rr.y prisoner,
and I will shoot th man who touches
him?"
io tito prisoner he said: "I have
tour promise that you will not try to
escape. 1 will take you at your word.
Wo are going froiu hereto Macon, and
may get into several skirmishes ou the
march. A horse will bo provided for
you, and when we get tj lighting you
must keep to the rear."
On the march to Mutton the scouts
fe.l into several warm tkk'iiUs!ie, aud
Captain LouT.hb.t v.as a. ways in the
iroiit. "lie was, ai brave a man as I
eve i' taw," said Mr. JJov. ell in speak
ing ol him. "He was a hard fighter,
and always kept in front oi his men.
Whenever we slopped on the march nt
houses nlong the road he. was as gen
tle and as kind to the Indies as any
man could be. He would say to them
in assuring them that their fright was
unnecessary: "Madam, these men
shall d nothing that your own sol
diers wou.d not do. You will oblige
us with something to cat, and I trust
! you will not consider it plunder on our
I part. It is one of the exigencies o!
war.'"
j At this time tiie Federals held Macon
I it was the. week that Ixse surren
j dered and a thousmui Confederate
prisoners were unut.r guard in a large
cotton warehouse in that city. Cap
tain Louthan joined his command in
Macon, and Lis singlo prisoner foil
into the warehouse with the other
prisoners. A day and a night he
stayed there, p.lmost -suffocated, poorly
fed. and scarcely cared for rt all. On
the second day Captain Louthan, art
officer of the day, saw him through
one of the warehouse windows, near
I which ho was standi iifr. and exclaimerlf
"Why. I forgot about you. You
must get out of that?"
The Captain elbowed his way
through the jam of prisoners aud
telling him to "come along," led
the prisoner out and carried him to
his tent ou the bank of the Ocmulgce.
"You will stay here," he said. "an"
with the promise that you will re
member that you aro my prisoner and
will report here three times a day at
meals, I will relieve you oT guard."
On the third day the Captain re
marking that the "trouble was about
over," nsked his prisoner if he would
accept a parole. "I can get it for you.
und you can go home and Heaven
prosper you.
And thus it was that Lieutenant
Howell finished his war expericne.
and returned to Atlanta.
And now for tho after war part of
tho story!
Natti'-ally, Mr. Howell, no longer
Lieutenant, has often wondered what
became of the brave Federal Captain
to whose kindness he was so much in
debted. . ' - -
Four years ago, while on a trip
through the West, ha concluded to go
to tha meeting of the Grand Army of
the Republic at Minneapolis, hoping
to find some trace of him there. But
he could hear nothing.
Several weeks ago, in casual conver
sation with Mr. Ira M. Swartz, with
Captain Jacobs in chargo of tho wcrk
on our new army post, something
about the story was mentioned.
'I think I can find him,'" said Mr.
Swartz, and find him he did, at Dun
kirk, O., to which place Mr. Howell,
at onco wrote him. Ajeply eurne as.
