It will lie retneti hered that tho GJecly eipedltiou set out in hUdsUmmer neafly

nas iniirifdiately sent for their relief, which was compelled to return wituotil nc
cnmplishing its purpose, or even being able to obtain any reliable lmformntion in
regard to the fate nnd whereabouts of the-' missing party.

Tho hoys in blue are turning Rray,
Tliln grows our ranks and Ihiilher;
We played death's game full many a day,
Hut death to-day is Winner.
Mid whistling tliot and screaming' sliellj
When plnlitest heart9 must quiver,
Facing the battery's belching hell,
Some Crossed death's silent river,
Some mangled) moaned with tortuted
breath,
Till death iff mercy ireed them:
In prison-pen9 some slnK-ed to death)
With only foes to heed them.
And some "Cod's Country" gained at iast,
Died 'mid tbedoir homo faces;
Of limbs lorn off by war's fierce blast)
Their critply sleeves arts traces.
We list no more the shrieking shell,
No mure the bullets rattle;
But comrades la 1 1 while tolls the hell,
Asonre Ibey let I lu battle.
Then rlnsn tho ranks as yfftrs mil tin,
As life's dim sun grows bolder;
Face death to come as death Ihat'sgone;

No battle-flag is gleaming,

O'er Heaven's yault is streaming".

Though faint on eartlt niir volets grow.

Henry Harrington Seemed to be worthy

It cost Henry ftiauy n jjang to give up

firm; nnd, maddened by disappointment

trouble by plunging iulo every kind ol
gayely nnd dissipation, nnd within a
year he was married to one f s gay and
careless a. hlnijelf.
One only, a deu nnd tried friend.
knew the depth of Caroline's heart trial.
She was fio tSet-k aud quiet that boOe of
ber acquaintances suspected the deep
undercurrent nf feeling which was bid
beneath that calm exterior. She never
complained, never eveu wore a look of
sadness, give when ehe grieved for oth
ers' woe.
To ber frleud She said; 'If butaan
love itexe all that God had girun us on
earth, then Indeed I might die of a brok
en heart; but life bas high and holy
duties, aud in the strength which God
giveth I mil conquer selfish Borrow, and

If her love bad been n happy one.
doubtless her story might have been told
in tho few words which will suffice for
many a life history:
"Born and wedded,

Bat she found with pleasure that tier
productions wete eagerly sought and
well paid for. For, though her simple
tastes required nothing riiofa of this
world's goods than she already enjdyed,
yet she had often wished for larger
means to do good. These means were
now in her hands, nnd as no one knew
thdt she was receiving anything, she was
able lo keep her charities ptivale. The

They called cn Ihe tViilow Saunders,

returned to the home of his youth fo

with two small children) be felt that be

bad riiarked him for its victim. Soon
uftft his return be sent for Caroline.
Her friend was with her when a ndte,
(raced by the sick mau's trembling hand
was given to her. They went together
to see him) he was on hia dealjj'-bed.
Caroline showed1 fio ontward emotion,
bat the struggle which tfco sight or her
first and only love causod iu her heart
was known only to dod.
''Caroline," the sick ranu said, "I have
sent for you to entfeatyou! to tako my
children tvhen i am gone, and teach
them tha holy faith which bas been the
guiding star of your life; aud which I
now fctl that I need, but, alasl it is too
lale for me; but my children! O, mty
they never know the horrors of au un
believer's death-bed!1'
"It is not too late," returned Caroline;
"it is uever too lata for the cry of the
penitent to reach the ear of mtfey."
They conv.'rsed long, and she had the
happiness of seeing hltn who had lived
in doubt dlo at last believing. His cMl
tlren bate since been Ler constant care;
and ns she sees them growing np Intel,

MR. JAM'S
Mr. Alvin Jogsou, altborgh an honor
able gentleman iu every other respect,
had a very long nose. To he sure, that
was no fafllt of bis. bnt it detracted vefy
much from bis persons! appearance,
staudlng. as it did, full three inches in'
its stocking feet, aud right In the center
of bis face. Of course, the nose belong.
ed to him, aud If a man vtaula to carry
au overgrown nose on bis face it Is no;
body's liiislrj. sr; but people will talk,
you know, nnd many Were tho remarls
that were pointed nt the elongated pro
boscis of air. Jngson. True, they didn't
ay anytbiug about it iff (be g'tnlletuau's
preeOuce, bet among thtmselves thty
wondered how one mall hin.i could
hold all that uoso lu proper pi sillm.
Snull boys regarded Ibeutigiiuly prow

vicinity for hoars t waiting au oppoituo

lie suffered many disnppolntmeuls bo
Cause ot tbo length of his nose', some of
them most bitter. For Instance, he was
going borne from tho city one evening
with &. party of friends in tf wagon, A
five-gallon keg cf whisky was also in the
wagon, and it was not long before a mo
tion to take a drink Cam 3 nj.' before tf e
house. Now, If thero was one thing
Mr. J.it;soo: liked better thau another it
was whisky. He Co lid drink as much
as nny man iu tho country, aud when
tho motion to imbibe was mnde if was
ably seconded by him. So the keg was
passed. Each man, as the keg camo to
him, to)k it un and drank from tho
bung-hole, no blip being' nt hand.
When tho keg reached Mr, Jagson ho
took it tenderly by each end nnd raised
it tenderly to his nose. Here was a
bitter disappointment, indeed; He was
thirsty; tti3 whlSkJ was before his face)
it was free; but not a drop of it could be
get.
"Drink hearty, Jagson," said his
friends, while ho essayed to get bis
mouth to that bilng hole; id near and
yet So far. At tho next house a cup was
borrowed for Mr. J.tjyon's use;
Mr. Jagson was a bachelor, not from
choice, but by for6e of circuriislnnce.
lie once courted a pretty maiden with ns
much fcf'dof and with ns fair chant's of
success as any young man in the conn
iry, Sylvia Gill was lo bim the fairest
of tbo fair, and to her he paid court. At
first she disliked his ph3eut'tf because of
his repulsive-looking facial adornment,
btit as she came to know bim better she
overlooked the nose in considefatiori of
bis many oilier graces of form and mind.
In fact, as time passed on she felt that
she loved him, nose and all.

Then lowering 1,1s voice to an awful
whisper, he continued, looking cautious

"Therfl aro l'ols of mtniber's in' the
