Tenderly bury the fair young dead, Pausing to drop on ills grave a tear; Carve on iho wooden Slab at his head— “iSbrneftody’s darling Ua buried here!” illtbecilauctuo, The following atory, literally true-ln its leading particulars, was told by a reform edmau who knew Mr. W —— very well. In repeating the story I do so in the first' person, in order to give it more effect. ; 'I was enjoying my gloss of flip one night at the old “ Rlack 1 torso' ’ that used to stand a mile but of S ; hadn’t joined the great army of teetotalers then, when a neighboring farmer came in, whose mod-. oration, at least in whiskey’toddles, Was not known u nto all men. His name Was ■W: ; . He was a quiet sort of a mad when sober; lively and chatty under the effect of a single drink; argumentative and offensively dogmatic after the second toddy,and downright insulting and quar relsome after getting beyond tbatnumber of drinks. We liked him and we disliked him, on that account. On the .occasion referred to, .'he passed through all: these changes, and finally sunk off to sleep by the warm stove. Being in the way, and also in danger of tumbling upon the floor, some of us removed him to an old settee, where he slept soundly, entertaining hs with rather an unmusical serenade. I There were two or three mischievous fellows about the place, and one of them suggested it would be capital fun to black W ’s face and make a darkey of him|. No,sooner said than done;' somolampj black amr olt ,vcroliri7cccl-innn old tTn- cup, and a coat of palntlaid over the foci of Mr. W , who,' unconscious of whai had been done, slept on as soundly al ever.

Lfbr the American Volunteer, •'romp DROWNED I” AN EPISODE OP THE WAR. Many fond prayers were uttered when .Lieut. Hazle and hie bride bid adieu to the home of the latter, a village iu the su burbs of the city of B — -,-to spend their honeymoon, seeing some of the soul-stir ring sights of which our countrymen are so Justly proud. Lieut. Hazle was attached to the -—th Infantry, and meeting Mira Livingston at the house of his sister, who bad been a schoolmate of Mira's, was fascinated by that air of gentleness which characterized her every movement, Bnd always ensured her a welcome either In cottage or hall. Upon rejoining his regiment; which was then stationed in Florida. ho tookwlth him the sweet assurance that in one year's time she would be ready to go with him to make life's devious paths pleasant td him, and by her presence to render a sol , diet’s life at a frontier post less irksome ■ and;monotonous. After taking, a peep at Niagara attd ma king the tour of bur- great inland seas, Lieut. Hazle, his leave having expired, took his wife with him to his station, a fort not more than five hundred ralleS from Tallahasee. The years rolled on with but little of interest occurring. Al ready had three facsimile Lleuts, made their appearance on this world’s stage, who were the darlings of their father ana the delight of their mother. The spring of 1881 brought with it news of the strange and warlike doings and preparations of the two sections, of the Union, but. itt their isolated position these rumors of wars did not affect them seriously, and they lived on in.fancied security until 1 spring had receded before summer. On' the 3rd day of Julythey were roused from their lethargy by the appearance, in front of the fort, of a baud of unorganized and undisciplined men, beaded by one who styled himself a Colonel in the Confeder ate States army, who demanded the sur render of the fort in the name of the Con-; federate States. The commandant not recognizing the existence of any power bearing the above title refused to surren der, when they instituded a sort of irreg-' ular siege of the place j the garrison after holding out for seven days, and having several of their number picked off by the 1 marksmen of the besiegers, capitulated.’ on condition of being allowed to proceed 1 North with their private baggage. The whole command proceeded to Now; York, and having arrived there L'eut.! Hazle escorted his wife and children to the cats that wore to convey them to ,B ~where she intended to stay until) some definite course had been settled up-; on, where he bid them good-bye, telling) her that business connected with his com-; mand'would detain him for. a few'days,; and that ns 1 Soon as possible he would re-; Join her. Days became weeks and weeks! changed into months, and still no tidings! of him; nor did the inquiries she caused) to be made, meet with success, At last.) shortly after the battle, of Antletam had 1 been fought, a letter arrived, purporting) to have been written by an officer of the) rebel army, who stated that Cant. Hazle,) who had been in command of abatteiy of artillery during the battle, was missing, I and believed to be among the slain. The! writer stated, that being a friend of Capt. j Hazie’s, he had often heard him speak of his wife and little ones; regretting the; fact, that though he hod often written to them, yet had never received any reply. The letter closed with many expressions of condolence. Time which proves a panacea for- most! wounds of this sort, soon affected a radi cal cure in the case of Mira, and when the ■paosorlhedyeor of-mourning: had elapsed, she entered society again, where she was .soon surrounded by suitors for her. hand. | The years that had rolled over her head: had butdeepenedand matured the charms | she possessed in her' girlhood, and so, thought Louis Erlich, one who had sought her hand before it was bestowed upon Lieut. Hozie. He had also married,- but his wife dying shortly after the wed-; ding, he was looking out for some one to; take inr place. He saw the blooming] widow,' and all the old love which he thought'ho had overcome come-back-up-, on him. He-sought , her, proposed and was accepted. The marriage was duly solemnized, and all'wont " merry as a\ marriage bell.” «. » * • In -the meantime the affairs of the da-j tlon were advancing towards that end so; fervently prayed for: Peace. i The surrender of Lee was followed by! the surrender of Johnston, and the idem comprlslng-tbese armies were permitted tor go to their homes; the order disbanding! them, which was hailed with, joy by nil, i was especially welcome to on' officer in; Johnston’s army, for now he could safely' go North to see his wife and children,; whom he had left nearly four years since, j eh route to a village near B—As soon i os his papers were in order he started,; and as he neared the termination of. his' journey his anxiety, and appreciations, had wrought his- feelings), up to such , A pitch that nis heart almost refused to beat,; and the ears,'which were going at express; speed; seemed.to him but to crawl at, a; snail’s pace. . But all things must have an end, and’ ho arrived In B—- without mishap, and determined to walk the remainder of the : distance, which was but three miles. Onj the road-he passed several whose features: were familiar to him, but they one add, all passed him without even a look of. recognition, for who would recognize in the bent and emaciated man before them,, the Vbung.audrvigorous man, who. nine, 'years before had taken the belle of the; vlllago from among thera. Nearing the. he could not repress the longing: of his heart to know of the welfare of, his; dear ones; and inquired of one who had, known him in his. bright days, If Mrs.' Hnzlestfll lived In the village, and where ? The answer, “ there Is no Mrs. Hazle in; tho village, but she that used to bear that, name, Uvea In the brick house on the hill,; you, Will find her bj* Inquiring for Mrs. Erlich,”' completely 1 stunned- him, and. thinking there was some mistake, ho re-; peated his question ; tho same answer re-, nested In a louder tone robbed him of 011' power of-Utterance, and the man'passed .oh-; wondering-who tho stranger was, that, this nows should,affect him so much. For , hours' Capt. Hazlp, sat on a. stone! near at hand, completely stupiflda, inca pable of either thought or action, with the .fatal nnsVrer ringing In hia eare. . when the shades of -evenjug-were,beginning to fall he, arose- and ,mechan(caUy Ida steps, fcrrtviiw -li»':tltf.^C r «P 1,, < Where'ne walked the streets,"Uhtil sheer fatigue overpowered him, and hesntdown oh a door step, where o policeman in ma king his rounds found him in an Insen slblo condition, andconveycd him to the station house wherfe inedicnl.uld was pro cured.

Jim Greeley kctohed a frogonedoy aud took him home, andsaid he kalkliatedto educate him; and so he neverdone nothin for three monthe.but set in his back yord and learn tha'tfrogto jump. Andyoubet he did learn him to jump too. He’d give hima little punch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the alrllkeadoughuut—seehlin turn one sumf mcrset, or may be a couple, if he got a good start, and 1 come down Hat footed and-all right, like a cat. Ho got him up so In the matter of,catching flics, and kept him. Id practice so constant that he’d nail a fly •every time os far as he, could see him.— Greeley said all a frog wanted was educaj tion, nndhecould do moat anything—and 1 believe him. "Why, I’ve seen him sot Daniel Webster down bn this floor—Daniel Webster was the name of the. frog—and sing out. “Flies, Daniel, flies IT' and quioker'n you could wink, he’d spring straight up, and shake a- fly bff’n thq counter there, and flop down on the floor again as’solid as a gob of mud, and foll.tq scratching the side of his head with his bind foot, as Ihdiflbreht os if he hadn’t uq idea he'd done any moro’n any frog might do. You never see a frog so modest and stralghtfor’ard as ho was, for all he was sol gifted. And when it come to fair and square jumping on a dead level, he could get over more ground at one straddle than any animal of his breed you ever see.—j Jumping on the dead level was his strong suit, you understand, and when it come to; that, Greeley wouldante up money on him; os long as he had ared. Greeley was mon strous proud of bis frog, and well he might be, for fellers that had travelled and been] ■ everywhere, all said that he laid over any frog that ever they see. ■ , J , Well, Greeley kept the beast in a little lattice box, and be used to fetch him down; town sometimes, and lay for a bet. -One; day a feller—a stranger in the camp, he; was—come across.him with bis box, and' says: , J “ What might that be you’ve got in tho; box?” ( And Greeley says, sorter indifferent! like: i “ It might be a parrot, or it might be a canary, may be, but it ain’t it’s only just 1 a frog." , i And the feller took it and looked at it careful, and turned it round this way and| that, and-says, ‘‘H'm—so ’tis. Well, what's h© good for?’-’ “ Well,” Greeley says easy and careless, “ he’s good enough for one thing, X should judge—he Can outjump any frog in Cal averas county.” The feller took the box again, and took another long, particular look, and gave it back to Greeley, and says very deliberate, “ Well, X don't see no points, about that frog that'sany better!© any other frog," “Maybe you don’t,” Greeley, says.— “ Maybe you understand frogs, and maybe you don’t understand ’em; maybe you've had experience, and, may be you aln’tonlyj a ameture, as it were. Any ways, I’ve got! my opinion, and I’ll risk $4O that he can} outjump any frog lu Calaveras county.” .! And the feller studied a minute, and/ tbensays, kindersad like, “Well, I’m only! a stranger here, and ain’t got no frog—but; if I had a frog I'd bet you/’ And then Greeley says* “That's all right! ■—that's all right—lf you'll hold my box af minute I’ll go and get you a frogand so the feller took the box, and put up his forty! dollars along with Greeley’s and set down; to wait. Bo ho set there a. good while thinking and thinking to himself, and then he got the frog out and pried its mouth open and! took a teaspoon and filled him full of quail j shot, and filled him pretty neat up to his; chin and'sethim on thefloor. Greeley, he’ went to the swampand slopped around in the mud for a long time, and finally he ketched a frog ana fetched him in and give hint to this feller and says; Now, if you’re ready, set him along- Wdeof Dan’l, with bis forepaws just even I with Dan’l, and I’ll give the word." Then} be says, “one, two, three, jnmp!”and him the feller touched up the frogs from j behind, and.the new frog hopped off, butj Dan’l give a heave, and bysted .up his ( shoulders, so like a Frenchman, but it wasn’t, no use, he couldn’t budge; he; was planted as solid as an anvil, and hel couldn’t no more stir than if he was an chored out. Greeley Was.a good deal sur prised and he was disgusted too, but he! didn’t hhve no idea what the matter was, of course. The- feller took,the money and started j away, and when he was going out of the; door he sorter jerked his thumb over his > shoulder—this wny—at Dan’X and says] again, very deliberately, “ Well, I don’t; see ho points about that frog that’s any] better'hany other frog.” , Greeley ho stood scratching his bead.; and looking dow.n at Dan’i a long time, and at last he says, ll X do wonder what In j the nation that frog throw’d off for—l; wonder if there ain’t something the mat ter wlthhlm—he 'pears to look mighty baggy, somehow,” ahd he ketebed JXan'l by the nap of the neck, and lifted him up and says, ” Why, blame my * cats If h6| don’t weigh five pounds,” and turning; him upside down, ne belched onto botibie handful of shot. And then he see how,it was, aiid he was the'raaddest man—lie set; the frog down and took out after the feller,; but he never ketebed him. *. ■ * TUE ItnlY lIOME or JESUS. Four miles south of the strong Greek city of Sephoris, hidden away among gen tle hills, then covered from the base to the crown with vineyards and flg trees, laid a natural riestor basin of rich red and white, earth, star-like in shape, but a mile In width and wondrouaiy fertile. Alougthe; sacred and chalky, slope of the highest of, these hills spread a small, and lovely vil-; lags, which; in a laud whore every spot! seemed to have a story, is remarkable, as 'having-had no public history; and no dia tinguished native' name. No great roadj led up to this sunny nook. No traffic came into it; no legions marched through it.— Trade,, war, adventure, pleasure, pomp, passed through it, flowing from west to, east, from Cast to west, along the Roman road. But the meadows were aglow with wheat and barley. Near the low ground, •ran a belt of gardens, fenced with stones, in which my rliids of greon flga, red_imme gtanntes and golden citrons ripened in the summer sUn. High lip the slopes, which were lined and planted llke the Rhine at Bingen, hung vintages of purple grapes.- In the plain among the corn and beneath the mulberry trees and figs shone dasics, poppies, tulips, Iflies and anemous, end-4 less'in their profusion, brilliant in their dyes. . , Low down on the hillside sprang a well of water; bubbling, plentiful and sweet, and above this fountain of life, in a long street straggling from the fountain to the synagogue, rose thq homestead of many shepherds, craftsmen and vinedressers. It was a lovely andl humble place, of which no ruler, no historian of Isreal had ever yet taken notice. No Rachael had been met and kissed Into love at this well; no Ruth had gathered up the sheaves of bar ley in yon fields;-no tower had been built for observation,on this height; no camp- had been pitched for battle in that vale. That one who would become dearer to the fancies of inert than either Ruth or Rachael, then walked through these fields, drew water at this spring, passed up and down the lanes of this hamlet, no seer then could have surmised. The place was more than obscure. The Arab may have pitched his black tent by the well, the magistrate of Sopho rls must have known the village, but the hamlet was-never mentioned by the Jew ish scribes. In the Bible, in the Talmud, in the writings of Josephus, wo search in vain for auv record ofthis sacred place:— Like its happy neighbors; Naim and En- ] dor it was the abode of husbandmen and oildressers, whose lives were spent Jn the synagogue and th,e olive grove: away froin the bright Greek cities and the busy dtpmun Toads. ■ No doubl ithadphee been possessed of either an Arab or A Hebrew name, but \ve do not know the name ex -1 cent in Its Hellenic form.
