Does any one care aaght for father ? Does any one think of the one Upon whose tired, bent shoulders, The care of the family come ? The father who strives for your comfort, And toils on from day unto day, Although his steps ever grow slower, And his dark locks are turning to gray. Does any one think of the due bills He is called upon daily to pay ? Milliner bills, college bills, doctor bills, There are some kind of bills every day. Like a patient horse in a treadmill, He works on from morning till night ; Does any one think he is tired, Does any one make his home bright? Is it right, just because he looks troubled, To say he's as cross as a bear ? Kind words, little actions of kindness, Might banish his burden of care. 'Tis for you he is ever so anxious— He will toil for you while he may live; In return he only asks kindness, And such pay is easy to give. gets of fly 'Mar. How Fort McAllister was Taken. A memorable campaign was that from Atlanta to Savannah. From the fact that Sherman marched 60,000 soldiers without interruption or loss to a :41orious victory, it has been called a "pleasure jaunt ;" and because it was not attended by great bat ties, many people have come to think that so far as execution was concerned, it was comparatively an easy task. The truth is, that this campaign, in execution as well as conception, was the best example of grand strategy in the war. If the enemy could have anticipated the objective point, he might have gathered a sufficient force to arrest the progress of our army ; he might have hun...upon its. flanks and rear, and endangered its existence. In that case, hindered, strangled,starved, and decimated, if' it had ever reached the sea, it might have been only to surrender its feeble fragments to a merciless foe. Sherman's combinations,carefully studied, and planned with a wisdom which seems prophetic completely obscured the great objective point of the march, and divided the con fused ranks of enemy at every point, so that the Union army bowled along over Georgia with but little loss of life, and in the early stages of the march, with a good degree of comfort. There are two features connected with the inside history of those two weeks during which Sherman's army lay in front of Savannah, which have never been laid be fore the public in an authentic shape.— One is, the fact that in the list stage of the march, after the army had reached the lower waters of the Savannah, Sherman was greatly perplexed by the question of supplies. The other is, that General's curious discovery of Fort McAllister, the seduction of which furnished a key for the solution of this important problem. Those were dark days, when the march ing was over, and the army had settled down in the flooded forests and before the frowniuc , fortifications of Savannah. Not withstanding the order to forage upon the enemy in the way, the thirty days' rations were, in parts of the army, exhausted when it came to the halt, where there was no food except such as the rice fields afforded. Then, for the first time, the confident eheerfulness of the chiet gave place to deep thought and anxious preoccupation. It required several days for the army to establish its position. By turning aside the waters of the canal which united the swift current of the Savannah with its shaggish sister, the Ogeeche, the low swamp land.a were covered neck deep by the treacherous element; and where the raised causeway spanned these forest bogs, the enemy had girded them about with fort and bastic n. Every attempt in these places to push forward, our lines met with the fire or art: ery and the blazing sheet of' infantry flame. It was not the city of Savannah our commander coveted in those days of 1864, so Touch as bread. Sher man might not, with the hapless Queen of France, answer the cry for food with. "Give them bonbons !" and so he sought for the sea. Not only was there a ocareity of supplies, which must very soon be remedied or the army must starve, but whiskey, which was a vital need to some, had almost dis appeared. And this reminds me of a ludicrous scene at General Cnrse's head quarters, about this time. One day it was bruited about that this officer had in his possession two barrels of genuine old Mo nongahela. It was marvelous to observe what a number of friends the brave General had in that army, when this fact became known. They came from all sides, its wagons, ambulances, on foot and on horse back, singly, by dozens and scores. Hun dreds of officers were suddenly taken ill, and appeared with medical certificates.— Others were ready to take the oath that they should be sick presently. All re quired a stimulent. It will at once be understood, even to the civilian mind, that these pilgrimages were a hinderance to the official duties of Corse, who, although as hospitable as he is gallant, yet, pressed by necessity, at once found a way to stop this tide of thirsty visitors. Sherman's head quarters were upon a causeway which ran out from the main road into the marshes, which on either side were impassable This roadway was parallel to the line of rebel works, and nearly opposite to a heavy battery of stationary guns. Corse's head quarter tents were pitches just alongside but beyond ours, and both among a growth of magnificent live oak trees. In strong contrast to the evergreen foilage, the pale canvas of the tents was to be seen here and there through the opening, revealing our position to the watchful eyes of the enemy, only a few hundred yards away Thus it was that the gentlemen in charge of the rebels guns had a fixed habit, in the afternoon just at three o'clock, of opening fire upon us, continuing this gentle rain of shot and shell until sundown. It was not at all pleasant to our people, but it was one of those incidents in war which must be borne with equanimity. General Corse, perhaps not unmindful of this fact, gave out the information one morning, that his official duties would prevent his entertaining visitors until afternoon of the following day. The sun had hardly crossed the meridian, when his friends began to arrive. The sick and well, the young and old, officers of all grades, from the single barred lieutenant to the double starred major general, were gathered on the well kept parade ground—some stretched at full length upon blankets, others seated upon boxes and camp-chairs, all enjoying the soft, genial sunshine, the balmy air, and the whiskey. It was a jovial party of soldiers, who had seen the bright and dark side of life, who had endured the pain of wounds; the hardships of campaigning, and knew how to glean from the harvest of fun and pleasure its last kernel. "Here's your health, General !" cried a staff officer, who had known his host way back in the dark days when they fought side by side at Wilson's Creek. "Here's to you, and may you never get a closer call than that Allatoona bullet cut across the cheek !" The host answered the salutation of the party with a nod, and then there might have been seen fifteen or twenty bronzed and bearded faces uplifted in silent wor ship, and as many pairs of eyes intently gazing into the heavens through the medium of a yellow stained tumbler. At this de lightful and precise instant of time, there came jarring and thrumming over the marshes a sharp yet muffled sound : "Boom ! boom ! boom !" The three detonations did not attract the attention of the party— they bad heard such a noise before; but when, in a few seconds, and before they had ceased their astronomical observations, all the quiet air was filled with a wild shriek and thir-r, which, as it approached the spot, yelled exultantly, as if glad to break in upon their social joys. The first of these iron jnessengers smashed into Ad jutant Carper's tent and through his desk, scattering his papers without regard to red tape or military order ; the second ri cochetted into the trees beyond, the third rolled along toward the whiskey barrel, as if thirsty, after its hot, swift journey. But the disgust and consternation of the whiskey drinkers was expressed in grotesque positions which would defy the pencil of Gavarni to depict. For a moment they were transfixed, as if posing for their photographs; but as the big caunon across the marshes again found voice,they changed position ; several sought their horses, call ing loudly for their orderlies ; others sought their presence of mind, which had taken wing with Carper's papers; but the greater number had placed the protecting trunks of the huge oak trees between them and the offending guns, forming a straight line, which, to say the least, did credit to their engineering skill. At last several of them found breath. "What the d—l is this, Corse ? A nice tea party you have invited us to !" Meanwhile the unperturbed host bad taken out his watch, which he consulted with some care. "Precisely on time, three o'clock. Pardon me, gentlemen, that I did not notify you that I expected strangers at this hour. The people over the way invariably send their compliments at this hour, and—" Corse spoke more deliberatply as he pointed at the cannon ball—"and these fellows continue to come until the sun goes down." The words had hardly passed from the lips of the General, when the little files of officers who had undertaken to support the trees from falling, broke up, and the call for "orderly" was louder and more impa tient than before. "Won't you take another drink, gentle men ?" demanded the courteous Corse ; and then, addressing his complimentary friend of a few moments before—" Say, Cap'n, I would like to respond to your toast." But there was fast mounting of restive horses, and hurried adieus, and in a half minute, all evidence that remained of Ihe jovial party was the disturbed camp equip age, and a cloud of golden dust which fol lowed the heels of the fast galloping steeds, as they disappeared down the long avenue of oaks. All this while, we had not discovered the pathway to the sea. One day, I had been sent down to the Ogeeche River, where a bridge was in process of rebuild ing. It was near night when, after obtain ing the sought for information, I started home in company with Colonel Charles Howard, a brother of the General, and then serving on his staff. The line of the advance of the army was several miles near er Savannah, and there were no troops en camped near the river, except large details who were at work on the bridge and build- ing piers, in antic.pation of the time when the river should be opened to the sea ; for although the eye wandering across the lev el marshes might not detect the surge of the ocean, yet we knew that its surf and song were very near, and that the placid waters of the Ogeeche were our only chan nel to the ships which floated there waiting our coming, and it was by this means only we could find them and food. Weeks before, while the army was yet among the hills of Georgia, some soldier, while rummagin€ , among a package of let ters which he had found in a house by the roadside, came upon a scrap of thin brown paper, marked with curved lines, which to the ordinary eye would have beeu mean• ingless; but to any intelligent American soldier, who had used pick and shovel, it had interest and significance. The writing on this paper ran something in this way : DEAR MOTHER :—.Here I am in a big fort way off on the Ogeeche river. It is called Fort McAllister, which is the name of a plantation hereabouts. It is a big fort, with thirty or forty big guns. which we fire at the Yankee vessels whenever they come up the river. They have tried it on with iron-clads and all that, but we have always beat them off, and are perfectly safe behind our tail bomb proofs.— You can't imagine how crooked this river is —a snake wriggling is a straight line compared to it. I send von a little drawing which I have made of the bend of the river, and the position of the fort. A strong place it is, and the Yankees never can take it, so 'wig as they knock at the front door. * We don't have much to eat, and it's right lonely here. * * The soldier gave this bit of paper to his captain, and so it came on through General Howard to General Sherman ; and as be carefully examined it, I remember hearing some one say : "Fort McAllister ! I never heard of such a place before. It must be one of the rebel line of sea de lenses." None of us then imagined that the name was to go down to history with those of Arcola, Malakoff, and Donelson. As Colonel Howard and I rode along into a forest of oak and cypress, we en countered the head of a column of troops who, with well-filled haversacks, were marching along with that steady gait which was a certain sign of an expedition which meant work. _ _ 'What movement of troops is this ?" I asked. '•lt is Hazen's division. They are to cross the bridge to night, with the purpose of taking a fort which is down the river," replied Colonel llowar 1. "Ah, there he comes ! Good evening, General." "Good evening, gentlemen," was the response of the man who passed us, carry ing in his pocket the slip of brown paper which many months ago the rebel soldier had sent to his mother way up in Georgia, little dreaming that the enemy would ever come that way, and that he thus distantly was to be the worst possible enemy to his own cause. A little less than twenty-four hours from that time, with but a few moments for rest and food, and Hazen with his brave soldiers arrived opposite Fort Mc- Allister. He did not wait to dig ditches nor build earth-works. He sent to the rebel commander no demand for surrender, nor challenge for battle, except such as glittered from the points of his double line of bayonets, as they moved slowly, noise lessly, and steadily out of the woods across the naked space into a storm of shot and shell. Steadily and unbroken, except when the dead and wounded fell, they marched on. There was a grim determination, a terrible earnestness in that oncoming line of blue and steel. They halted not at tangled abatis, they did not heed the tor pedoes exploding under their feet, but plunged into the deep ditch, tore away the tough palisades, mounted to the parapet, and these, then, and within the fort, fought hand to band with its eallant defenders; and when the smoke, painfully lifting itself into the heavy air of the evening, revealed the flag of our Union planted there, we envious and impatient lookers-on, knew that victory was inscribed all over its beautiful fold. To Hazen, the capture of Fort McAl lister was glory, undying fame. To the Commander-in chief it meant bread, food, and the conquest of Savannah. How swift moved events, when the brazen door to the sea was unlocked ! And first and most important was the feast of hard tack ; and a mole welcome feast was never offered to a hungry host, since the days the children of Israel found manna in the wilderness. The destructive torpedoes in the riclr were released from their moorings, and scores of busy, puffing steamers raddled up the stream, loaded with precious freight of bread. There was enough, and more than enough for all. Bread for man and food for beast. Profane fellows, who had well nigh forgotten how to pray, now offered up grateful thanks. The soldier in his rifie pit heeded not the mud and water, and patted his rations of hard bread with loving tenderness. As the wagons creaked into camp, groaning with their cargo of white boxes filled with hard tack. the eager groups of hungry men surrounded them with cheers of welcome. The army of refugees, crouching in their miserable camps among the bushes, were not for gotten. Poor, ignorant, houseless wander ers---all of them had their share of the sweet, wholesome bread. And none were more thankful than they, for none demand so little as they who possess nothing. It was a feast of bread which will never be forgotten, that of Sherman's army, as it lay before Savannah, in December, of 1864; and, as if to crown their happiness, a few days after the enemy evacuated the city, which the army and its chief possessed themselves of, only to make of their con quest a Christmas present to the Nation. As I have written this sketch of some of the events of the campaign of the "March to the Sea," I have lived over again its dangers, its thrilling excitements, with almost the force and intensity of reality ; and yet it seems a long, long while ago, when we were at war with our country men of the South. select glisallang. A Sensible Girl. They were seated together, side by side, on the sof'zi, in the most approved lover fashion—his arm encircling her taper waist, etc. "Lizzie," he said, "you must have read my heart e'er this; you must know how dearly I love vou." "Yes Fred; you have certainly been very attentive," said Lizzie. "But, Lizzie, darling, do you love me ? Will you be my wife ?" "Your wife, Fred I Of all things no. No indeed, nor any one else's." "Lizzie, what do you mean ?" "Just what I say, Fred. I've two mar ried sisters." "Certainly, and both Mrs. Hopkins and Mrs. Skinner have very good husbands, I believe." "So people say ; but I wouldn't like to stand in either May or Nell's shoes, that's all." "Lizzie, you astonish me." "Look here, Fred; I've bad over twenty five sleigh rides this winter, thanks to you and my other gentlemen friends." Fred winced a little here, whether at the remembrance of that unpaid livery bill or at the idea of Lizzie sleigh riding with her other gentlemen friends I cannot pos. sibly answer. "How many do you think my sisters have had ? Not the sign of one, either of them. Such pretty girls as May and Nel lie were too, and so much attention as they used to have !" "Now, Lizzie--" "I am fond of going to the theatre oc casionally, as well as a lecture or concert sometimes, and I shouldn't like if I pro posed attending any such entertainments to be invariably told that times were hard and my husband couldn't afford it., and then to have him sneak off alone." "Lizzie, Lizzie--" "And then, if once in a dog's age he did condescend to go with me anywhere in the evening, I shouldn't like to be left to pick my way along the slippery places, at the risk of breaking my neck, he walking along unconsciously by my side. I'm of a dependent clinging nature and I need the protection of a strong arm." "Lizzie, this is all nonsense." "I'm the youngest of our family, and perhaps I've been spoiled. At all events I know it would break my heart to have my husband vent all the ill temper which he conceals from the rest of the world on my defenseless head." -But, Lizzie, I promise you that I—" "Oh, yes, Fred ; I know what you are going to say—that you will be different; but May and Nell have told me time and again that no better husbands than their's ever lived, and I'm half inclined to believe them. No, no. Fred ;as a lover you are just perfect, and I shall hate awfully to give you up, still if you are bent on mar rying, there are plenty of girls who have not married sisters, or who are not wise enough to profit by their example, if they have. And you needn't fret about me, for I've no doubt I can find some one to fill your place—" But before Lizzie had concluded, Fred made for the door, muttering something unmentionable to ears polite. There !" exclaimed Lizzie, as the door closed with a bang. "I knew he was no better than the rest. That is just the way that May's and Nell's husbands swear and slam doors, when things don't go just right. He'd make a perfect bear of a husband ; but I'm sorry he came to the point so soon for he was just a splendid beau." SAID an Irishman in the course of an eloquent speech : "Yr. Chairman, the gals is the boys to do it." Now-a• Days. Alas 1 how everything has changed Since I was sweet sixteen ; When all the girls wore homespun frocks, And aprons nice and clean ; With bonnets made of braided straw, That tied beneath the chin, And shawls laid neatly on the neck, And fastened with a pin. But now-a-days the ladies wear French gloves and Leghorn bats, That take up half a yard of sky, In all queer shapes and flats ; With gowns that do not fall so low As such things ought to fall, With waists that you might break in two, And shoes a size too small. I recollect the time when I Rode father's horse to mill, Across the meadow, rocks and field, And up and down the hill ; And when our folks were out at work, As true as I'm a sinner, I jumped upon a horse, bare-back, And carried them their dinner. Dear me ! Young ladies now-a-days Would almost faint away To think of riding all alone In wagon, chaise, or sleigh ; And as for giving "pa" his meals, Or helping "ma" to bake, Oh, saints ! 'twould spoil their lily hands, Though they sometimes make cake, When winter came, the maidens' hearts Began to beat and flutter ; Each beau would take his sweetheart out Sleigh-riding in a cutter; Or, if the storm was bleak and cold, The gi -ls and beaus together Would meet and have most glorious fun, And never mind the weather. But now, indeed, it grieves me much The circumstance to mention, However kind, a young man's heart, And honest his intention, He never can ask the girls to ride But such a war is waged I And if he sees her once a week, Why, surely, they're engaged. I never thought that I should try My hand at making rhymes, But 'tis the way to reprobate The present evil times; For, should I preach morality In common, sober prose, They'd say 'twas older than the hills, Or else turn up their nose. A Prevalent Vice. Surely profanity is one of the glaring vices of the day, and nowhere is it exercised more freely than in a country village. In cities profane swearing is not common in the streets. The individual in such com munities acquires a respect for the rights of his neighbors, and among multitudes he has to be cautious in regard to the preju dices of all. Any such act as obtrusive swearing in the street would soon arouse the attention of the policeman as the rep resentative and agent of public sentiment. In many country villages a different state of things seems to prevail. Profanity is not regarded as a thing to be ashamed of, but as a sort of manly accomplishment.— In the bar-room and the corner grocery the air is blue with strange oaths flung out, not in anger or by way of execration, but merely to strengthen, adorn and em phasize discourse. An expletive is the rural American's great feature of rhetoric. It serves to describe a girl's beauty, to es timate a horse's speed, to measure the yield of a wheat field. It is a climax of invec tive against an enemy, the chief argument in a discussion, the point of every witticism. Two men cannot meet in the street with out adding to each other's health choice specimens of profanity. Plenty of decent people passing by must be shocked, but they are powerless to express their indig nation, fur profanity has got to be a country habit. This vice of indiscriminate swear ing, setting aside its indecency, tends to corrupt the use of language and destroy its capabilities for expressing any strong emotion. A bad habit, neighbor, master it ere you become its slave. Commercial Terms.

An exchange remarking on the varied uses to which beeswax is put says : "Its property of protecting tissues and pre venting mold and mildew was well-known to the ancients, who used cerecloth for embalming and wax for encaustic paint ing in the wall pictures of Pompeii Wax candles and tapers play an important part in the processions and ceremonies of the Roman Catholic church. Wax is used by the manufacturers of glazed, ornamental, and wall papers, and all papers, and all paper collars and cuffs fbr polishing the surfaces. It is used in varnishes and paints and in the "stuffing" of wood which is to be polished, as tor pianos, coach work, fine furniture, and parquette floors. Electrotypers and plast erers use wax in forming their moulds. Wax is an important ingredient in pre. parations for covering the surfaces of polished iron and stell to prevent rust.— Combined with tallow it forms the coating for canvas and cordage to prevent mildew, as in sails, awnings, etc. Artificial flowers consume much wax, and despite the in troduction of paraffine, sarisin, and mineral wax, its use appears to be extending. The annual product of beeswax in the United States is said to be 30,000,000 pounds, and it is worth about $5,000,000. A MODEST youth in Indiana, who was refused the honor of attending a young lady home, asked permission to sit on the fence and see her go by. GOLD was first discovered in Georgia in 1832, so says a Columbus paper. The Chimpanzees. The Chimpanzees in the Garden, in New York, are of more value than many gorillas, and they will never hug their fel low man to death, nor carry off a beautiful frightened maiden to their lair. They are about two feet long, weigh nearly twenty pounds each, and are supposed to be three years old. When full grown they will be five feet long. Their faces, hands and feet, have a mild mullatto flesh color, and their bodies are covered with coarse black ha!r, two or three inches in length. The height of their foreheads is one inch; their eyes are round and hazel-brown ; their noses are well-nigh flat ; their jaws are as prom inent as some negroes' jaws, their teeth resemble the teeth of children, their ears are large and hairless. They laugh, and grin, and pout, and put their finger in their mouths and look silly. Their prevailing expression is one of sadness, not unmixed with satisfaction One of them, the male, is not at all well, having a alight cough, night sweats, and an impaired appetite, and being threatened with pulmonary con sumption. Like his mate he came from Congo, Africa, and is the first importation of the sort to this country. "You will see," said their superinten dent, "that they differ somewhat from gorillas. The gorilla has a black face. but the chimpanzee a flesh-eolored one; the gorilla has larger arms, and, when full grown, a larger brain and facial angle." Here the female chimpanzee stuck her tongue out and then put her finger in her mouth. But both," continued the speaker, "have protruding negro lips. The go rilla's forefinger and third finger are partly united, but the chimpanzee's fingers are all as distinct as a man's. A chimpanzee will point with his forefinger." Here the female chimpanzee assumed an incredulous expression and buried her face in a blanket. "What do you feed them with ?" "With what babies get," he replied ; "with milk, biscuits, and so on." The resemblance between the crea tares and human beings was constantly on the superintendent's lips. This man is a Darwinian of the first water. He expati ated fondly upon the structure of the fe male's foot, showing that though her great toe was perhaps abnormally developed, yet that the foot was a real foot, and could not truthfully be called a hand, "I threw," he said, "a biscuit into her cage the other day. It was a little difficult of awes.; but she scratched for it until she got it. The next day I showed her another biscuit. What did she do but go to the very same spot and scratch again I The association of ideas, you see; the genuine working of the brain." "Come here, Wallie," he exclaimed, go ing to the other end of the cage, and ad dressing what he takes to be his cousin. He held his watch in his hand and she bad been attracted by it. Then, opening the dour, he extended his arms tc her; she jumped into them and threw her arms about his neck. "They are affectionate creatures," he observed, "tbey don't like to be alone." When they laugh, it needs only a more perfect facial expression to make the act seem human ; when they grin, they stretch their mouth from ear to ear ; when they ate displeased, they pucker and push out their lips as children sometimes do. The superintendent is doctoring his consump tive patient, but he declined to tell what medicine be is using, because •every doc tor who reads what you write will think that another remedy might have been a better one." Meahwhile, the sick shim• panzee, with a deeply pathetic, woebegone expression, was cudJled to his keeper's breast. He cannot talk, but be keeps up a deal of thinking. On a Coffee Plantation. Coffee culture is very interesting, and the growing crop is very beautiful. The trees at maturity are from five to eight feet high ; they are well shaped and busby, with a glossy, dark-green foliage, and plant ed eight to nine feet apart. The flowers are in clusters at the root of the leaves, and are small, but pure white and very fragrant. The fruit has a rich color, and resembles a small cherry or large cranberry, it grows in clusters, close to the branches, and when it becomes a deep red is ripe and ready to be gathered. The trees are raised from seed, and do not begin to yield until the third year. In Central America they bear well for twelve or fifteen years, although, in exceptional cases, trees twenty years old will yield an abundance of fruit. The tree is particularly beautiful when in full bloom or when laden with ripe fruit. The process of preparing coffee for market is as follows : The ripe berries when picked are at fiast put through a machine called the ‘ - despulpador," which removes the pulp; the coffee grains, of which there are two in each berry, and still covered with a sort of glutinous sub stance which adheres to the *bean ; they are sow spread out on large patios," made specially for this purpose, and left there, being occasionally tossed about and turned over with wooden shovels until they are perfectly dry. • They are then gathered up and put into the "retilla ' " a circular trough in which a heavy wooden wheel, shod with steel, is made to revolve, so as to thoroughly break the husk with out crushing the bean. The chaff is sep arated from the grain by means of fanning mill, and the coffee is now thoroughly dry and clean. After this, it is the custom of some planters to have it spread out on long tables and carfully picked over by the Indian women and children, all the bad beans being thrown out. It only remains then to have it put into bags, weighed and marked, before it is ready for shipment to the port. On some of the larger planta tions this process is greatly simplified, with considerable savinc , in time and labor, by the use of improve d machinery for drying and cleaning the coffee.—(From "A trip to Central America;" Scribner for March.) --rb-..iii. -4.
