ilafk flows the fatoS and poisoned wave,
Whllo storm and Sorrow around It rave,
No verdant meadows besldo It bloom
Nor flowers mingle tljolr sweet perfume
Vhlle blent llko tain In US fllftif foam,
Are tears from many a ruined home.
Volce-ifter voice In prayers and tears
Send warning through tho fleeting years J
Yet darker tnan the tide ofdeath
Wore cruel than Its blighted breath,
The vengeful spirit or the storm
Is stronger than tho tones that watn;
Still standing on the sheltered shoro
Love beckons to the lost once more,
And yearning o'er tho darkening deep
Htr tender membrles watch and weep j
Whllo the wild surges' wratbTul roll
Strikes terror to her anguished soul.
Dark looms the sky, the thundor's tono
Is heard abovo tho breakers' moan:
Heavy and dark and wild tho night,
Immortal man Is bornp rrom light.
Alas I what arm Is Ctrong to save ,
Tho victim trom the poisoned wave!
In vain tho signal beacons burn
To guide the wanderers' return,
Who lulled In dark and death. llko sleep,
Drift helpless on tho stormy deep,
Till Iti tho Whirlpool tempest tossed,
Life, fame and fortune all aro lost.
And still with wreck tho shore Is strewn
Like withered leaves or autumn blown j
No light shines on the fcnrlul night
And hope's bright star Is lost to sight,
Whllo on tho pinions of tho storm
The vultures vtco and crlrno are borne.
In hut and hall they wnvo their wand
Where broad Atlautlo laves the etrandj
And the eool brccr.es or t ho north
Ilcyond the Jtcen hills wander forth,
And where tne savannas Ho ,,
In beauty 'neath the southern sitjr;
And where amid the western wold
Tho earth yields up her hidden gold.
O nation, In thy strength awake ;
Tho slumber Irom thy eyelids shako,
And Talso a bulwark strong and wlds
To brick frntd beat tho poisoned tide;
Nor censo the work till o'er our shoro

Then, not till then, the land shall be

lio wai ttliolcsoulcu anil lovable.
Utaco was nineteen, a pretty, blao
eyed, ycllow-halrcd 11111b creature wl.oso
only fault was a growing tendency to bt
inordinately Jealous of her husband, If
ho so much as glanced at a lady who
to tho charms of youth ndded tho crtptl

Shb loved Will Thornloy tlearl. btit
at the same tlnio Will's smiles must all

thlnj!, whether sho really was or not
and never must ho by any possible
chnnco Jilnt Iliac ally woman mini
was half so lovely, good ot wise, lis he
own exacting, Impulsive, little self.
Will, being a young husband and
very much In lovu with liia wife, was
qulto willing to ndtuit, and for a time
sincerely believed, that (Jraco was an
angel, and they were aS happy nS two
turtle doves, or a pair of newly tnrtted
swans, until Itoso Woodward came to
pay them a visit.

natutally looked forward lo nor coming
with no little pleasure, qulto forgetting
that tier oi i senouimatc liatl been though
very atlractivo when tliey were girls
together at Madam Dulncourt's semi
nary. A very great oversight on tho part of
urace; lor .miss woouwnut imu large,
laughing eyes, glossy tlarlt hair and
wlno red lips, which Will, of course,
could not helpeei'iug, and, having seen
could not help admiring.
It is unreasonable, for one to Insist
that a man must bo botli blind and
dumb simply becauso ho happens to be
it.n
luaiiicu.
And then, too, Itoso was so full and
elegant, while Graco was such a little
childish, baby-faced thing.
It was not Will who made this dis
contented comparison. It was Grace
herself. Stio was euro Will thought
her silly and insignificant, ui sho had
heard him say that he thought Mi-s
Woodward a remarkably liandsouio wo
man.
To be sure, sho hrid asked him the
question point blank, one day, when
they were walking alone In the garden,
and he could not liavo answered otlier
wise, and spokeu truthfully.
And Hose was so clever and sensi
ble, besides being handsome. Grace
felt keenly her own inferiority, and
wished from tho bottom of her foolish
young heart that she was not such a
blue-eyed, amber haired little stupid.
It was a very undignified tiling to do,
but, almost before she knew it, Grace
found herself watching mistrustfully
both friend and husband, and suspect

She was half ashamed r.f herself rtml
wholly unhappy for so' dolfirj, butjeal

It wit's h6t long before Hose, guessed
what was passing in Mrs. Thoruley's
mind, and shaped her conduct accord
ingly. It wal a trl II o embarrassing,
certainly, but she was a woman of ad
mlrablu tact, and managed to adopt a
safe middle course, privately vowing,
however, to make her vfslt as short as
possible, and lake good caro not lo re
peat It until such time as Mrs. Will
Thornley had learned to ISmper her
wifely affection with soit'o small share
of common sense.
Hut the prudent middle courso had its
drawback, for Will fancied Ills wife's
guest treated him with marked coldness,
and, 03 was very natural, wanted to
know tho meaning of It.
He did not understand It at all and
chancing to meet ltose aloue one rtio.'n
lug in the drawrng.fooni, h'o said:
"I fear 1 have in some way offended
you, Miss Woodward; you seem so bent
upon keeping me at a distance."
"Not at all," sho rJmlled. "Pfuy
don't think me so ungracious. It would
til become, me to treat the husband of
my frieud and hostess with Indiffer
ence; and If in y manner so impressed
you, it was unintentionally done on my
part.."
"A married man Is not a man ban
Islicd forevermora from tho good graces
of all womankind, Is he?" laughed Will.
"If so, I take it as being very hard
lines fallen in tho hardest sort of
places."
"And would treasonably wish your,
soil a bachelor again," rejoined Hose.
"Yes and no " ho replied, still laugh
ing, with something of a serious look
lu ins narK gray eyes.
Neither saw Grace slancltor' Palo and
still, In tho doorway. She had only
heard Hoso say,' Iff het !6wcat and inu
alcal tones, "wish yourself a bachelor

Grace was quite satlilkd now that

Soldiers aro fond of pets. A dog at
tached to a regiment is suro of kind
treatment. Ho may be nobody's dog-,
but he Is everybody's favorite. Some
times tho soldiers fancy strangn pets.
An eagle, "Olit Abe," wa3 the pet of
u Wisconsin regiment, during tho civil
war. In tho' great revlow lie Id nt Wash
ington at tho close of the war, many
veterans were observed carrying favor
ite prows and 'possum's.
Hut tho strangest pet that over at
tracted a regiment's fancy was' a pig.
She nttaclied herself to a Kentucky regi
ment on the way to invade (Ja'uaila, dur
ing tlio war ot 1312.
As tho men marched out from Har
rodsburg.onemornltT'ij.lhey came across
two pigs fighting. They halted to sco
it out. When tlio march was resumed,
tlio victorious pig followed tho regiment.
When they encamped at night, tho pig
halted and found a shelter.
The next morning the pig started wltli
tho regiment, and when it stopped the
pig halted Day by day It trotted along
until the Ohio ilver was reached. A
ferry-boat tranported the troops to Cin
cinnati, but the pig swam the stream
and waited on the other side until the
regiment took up Its line of march,
During tho long trauip' to the like
piggy received her full share of ratlins.
Occasionally tbo men wero put on short
commons, lint no ono thought of stick
ing the regiment's pet.
When they caoio to' tho latoM shore
piggy was ottered a passage across to
Canada. Stio refused to stir from
American foil,
"That pig," said a witty soldier, ro.
f erring to an opinion then hold by some
tnat no minim man couiu oe coustuu-
uonniiy cuiupeiicu iu ivuvo ma uhiu
soil to invade a foreign country; "that
pig has constitutional scruples. She Is
a militia pig, and sho won't cross tho
boundary line."
When tho campaign closed.the' troops
recrossed to the American sido, where
they had loft their horses. As tbo lino
wai beiog formed, n fa miliar grunt was
heard. Thorn was piggy feady to re
sume tha march. On tho homeward
way the pig sutfi'ied greatly from the
cold weather. It crossed, however, llio
ntiln river. nn,l then 'irave out.
