ANONYMOUS.
All day long tho storm oi battle through the
surtiru valley sweut:
All nlflit long Uio stars In beaven o'er the slain
sad vlRlls kept
O the ghastly upturned faces gleaming whltely
tlirnugh the nlghtt
0 the heaps ol nianKled coises In that dim sepul
chral light.
Ono by one the pale stars faded, and at length
the morning broke;
But not one of nil the sleepers on that field of
dentil awoke.
Slowly passed tho golden hours of that long
bright summer dny.
And upon that field ot carnage still the dead uti.
burled lay.
Lay there stark and cold, byt pleading with n
dumb, unceasing prnyei,
For a Utile dust to hide them from tho staring
sun and air.
But the fucinau held possession of that hnrd-nnn
battle-plain,
In unholy wrath denying even burial to our
slain.
Onco again the night dropped round them,
night so holy and so calm
That the moonbeams liuihcd the spirit, llko tlic
sound ol prayer or psalm.
On n couch of trampled grasses, Just apart from
all the icst,
Lay a fair young boy, with small hands meekly
folded on his bi cast,
Death had touched him very gently, and he lay
as If In sleep;
Kvcn his mother scarco had shuddered at that
slumber calm and deep. i
roriismllcof wondrous sweetness lent a radi
ance to the face.
Ami the hand ol cunning sculptor could haye
added naught bt grace.
To the marble limbs so perfect In their passion
less repose,
Bobbed of all save matchless purity by hard. nn
pitying foes.
And the broken drum beside him all bis llfc.s
short Mory told;
How hp did his uuty bravely till tho death-tide
o'erhlm rolled.
Midnight came ith ebon garments and a diadem
of stars,
While right upward In tho zenith hung the fiery
planet Mars.
Hail;: a sound of stealthy footsteps and ot voices
whispering low,
Was It nothing but the young leaves, or the
brooklet's murmuring flow?
Clinging closely to each other, striving never to
look round
As they passed with silent shudder the pale
corses on the gi ound, -
Came two llltle maidens, slstcrs-wlth a light
und hasty tread,
Anda look ujion their faces, half of sorrow, half
of dread.
And they did not pause nor falter till, with
throbbing hearts, they stood
Where the drummer-boy was Ijlng In that par
tial solitude.
Tbey had brought some simple garments from
their wardrobe a scanty utorc.
And two heavy Iron shovels lu their slender
hands they bore.
Then they quickly knelt beside him, crushing
back the pitying tears,
Tor they had no time for weeping, nor for any
girlish tears.
And they robed the ley body, while no glow of
maiden shame
Changed the pallor of their foreheads to a flush
of lambent Came.
For their saintly hearts yearned o'er It In that
hour of sorest need,
And they felt that death was holy, and It sanctl.
fled the deed.
But they smiled nnd kissed each other w bn their
new strange task was o'er,
And tho form that lay before tlicm its uuwontcd
garments wore.
Then with slow and weary labor & small grave
they hollowed out,
And they lined It with the withered grass and
leaves that lay about.
But the day was sbwly breaking ere their holy
work was done,
And In crimson pomp the morning again herald
ed the sun.
And then those Utile maldens-thcy were chil
dren of our foes
laid the body of our drummer-boy to undis
turbed rcposo.
A Bit of Gossip.
BT JiltS. V. 11UI1KE COLLINS.
Sitting alone nt the open window In the
soft. Kray twlliglit, JJctli Allison watched
the etars come peeping shyly forth, tier face
palo and thoughtful, lier large brown eyes
full of sadness.
Just outslilo the window, In the fragrant,
dewy ganlen.two jnttng men were strolling
leisurely up and down, smoking anil chat
ting Hal Weston anil Leonard (irey.
"I say, ten," Hal Weston began, after a
brief silence, "have yon heard the news?
No? Well, 1 am surprised. DMn't know
that the Irrepressible Lawrence Leigh has
gone down at last before the barbed arrows
of the little blluil god? 'Tls true 'tis pity,
and a pity 'tis 'tis true. Tes, mos ash,
I heard It straight he's done for! En
gagedIrrevocably engaged to Hiss Ger
trude Lyell."
"Yes?"
Leonard Grey's tono was provoklngly
nonchalant.
"Well, and why shouldn't Lawrence
Leigh engage himself to Miss Lyell If he
want to, provided the lady herself It will
Ing?" Hi'.'s Clark y ItsdigsEritlT.
Lnr Dnin
ru ra
" by? Because, In honor, ho has no
right to ask Miss Lyell to marry him, after
the very pronounced attentions that ho has
shown all summer to Miss Allison, that
pale little music teacher. 1 lell you.Leon
ard, It's a shame for a man of the world
like Leigh to tilde with a woman's heart
when the victim Is such a sweet, true, little
woman as Miss Ucth Allison. If I were
her brother now, or had any possible right
I would certainly call Lawrence Leigh to
account."
"Out, Hal, I don't understand It. It Is
totally unlike Lawrence to do an act of dis
honor. What can he mean?"
"It's plain enough to me, Intervened Hal
Weston, sardonically. "You know Miss
Lyell Is rich. She Is the only child of
Lyell, the hanker, and will have a cool
million. Lawrence Is. not poor, but be al
ways had an eye to the main chance. 1
think the story It plain enuugh 'he who
runs may read' only . mr ympatlir, go
witn miss Allison, and' from the bottom of
my heart I pity her."
As the two young men sauntered away,
Deth Allison pale to the very lips arose,
and trembling like a leaf, made her escape
from, the -room up-stalrt to her own apart'
ment.
Her hands were tightly clinched togeth
er; In the depths of her dark eyes a look of
heart-break; under her breath the was
pontine brokenly
'Oh, Lawrencel Lawrence! How can 1
believe It? It does not teem possible. Yet'
tho ttory must lie true, or Mr. Weston
would not hare told his friend. Had 1
overhead a conversation between two wo
men, 1 might have looked upon It as mere
Ule talk; but men never Indulge In gossip,
and I am forced to believe. If Mr. Wes
ton had not pitied me," tho went on, tear
ing up and down her room like a wild
creature, "If lie had not dared to pity me,I
might go to him and request a full explan
ation. Uut I cannot. And I shall not let
Lawrence Leigh exult over his conquest. 1
nave humiliated myself enough already, I
will do so no more. Hereafter I will treat
him with the coldness that he deserves I"
She was poor, but not friendless by any
means. Only a intislc-teachcr In Mrs.
Winslowe's handsomo countrv house; but
Mrs. Winslowe possessed no false pride,
and treated Beth as an equal. He house
was filled with guests that sninmer,and she
had found pretty Miss Allison exceedingly
uefiil as well as ornutntntal.
Coining down stairs an hour later, all In
white and corn color, with crimson popples
In her corsage and In her dark hair, Ucth
was met at tho entrance to the drawing
room by a now arrival a tall, elegant man
of middle age. One glance and the girl's
hand was extended in cordial welcome.
"Why, Mr. Warbitrton, when did yon
anive?" she cried In real delight, for he
w is an old friend of her dead father's, and
had known Ucth all her life.
II n 'drew her lutul thionsh his arm, and
HI her out upon tho moonlit porch for if
loftnnd.p'eai-anl chat. And all llie'tlm'e
llei'li wasawate of I.awrenco Leigh's pres
ence in thu itionil handsome, darkneyed
Lawrence Leigh, who had been so devoted
to her all summer, and who had almost'
told her that he loved her; that dangerous,
tacit taking for granted which has broken a
woman's heart before now. .
"Hut he shall not bicnk nilnnl" muttered
Helh, defiantly, as she remembered.
Alas! when did she ever forget?
The evening passed away, and Beth
marked with silent suffering how Lawrence
Leigh scarcely left Miss Lyell's side for a
moment.
True, he had finally ventured Into Beth's
vicinity, and once ho had asked her for a
dance, but shn was engaged to Mr. War
burton, and told Lawrence so very coolly;
after which he troubled her no more.
That was the most unpleasant evening of
Beth Allison's whole life; but for pride's
sake she kept up, determined that Hal
Weton and Leonard Grey should not sus
pect her suffering. And she succeeded so
well that nal observed carelessly to his
friend that he believed they had overestim
ated the situation, or else Miss Allison was
a flirt and did not need their sympathy.
Day followed day In like manner. Mr.
Warburton took possession of Beth; and
Lawrence, after a few Ineffectual attempts
at an understanding with bis perverse lady
love, gayc up at last In despair.
But as the lime passed, and tho pain In
Beth's heart grew deeper aud harder to
bear, her physical strength waned visibly,
and It became evident to all that her health
was falling.
At last she resolved to go away. That
very day she found Gertrude Lyell In the
garden, reading a letter.
The fair blonde face was flushed and
lender; there eras a light In her soft blue
eyes which Beth bad never teen there be
fore. When the letter was perused, the beauti
ful reader pressed, Jt to tier Hps. Then
glancing up suddenly she taw standing be
fore her. palo and silent, BctH Allison.
Miss Lyell la-igbed a little constralpcdly.
"I must look like a simpleton ,to you,
Mis Allison," the cried llghtlv, "But
tinder Uta circumstances, I think I am ex
disable. My letter Is from Mr. Leigh!"
she added, with a conscious blush.
Some Impulse prompted Beth. She llft
e.! bcr truthful eyes to the beautiful face
before her.
Tardon me, Miss Lyell," she began
rapidly, "but are yon engaged to to "
Miss Lyell laughed.
"Why, of course! Has not Lawrence told
you?"
"He has never told me," returned Beth,
with dignity, walking away as soon as the
words were uttered.
She found Mr. Warburton awaiting her
In the house, and straightway Mr. War
burton astonished Beth Allison with an
offer of tnarr ,e.
lie was very wealthy.and better than all,
he was good; but Beth, who had never
thought of him, tave as her father'a old
friend, could only gaie Into hit kindly face
with wide open, bewildered eyes.
At last:
"Mr. Warbnrton," the stammered, "you
have surprised me more than I can tell!
Will you wait until to-nlgbt before I answer
you? I have a story to tell yon, but now I
am engaged with my pupils. To-night"
Mr. Warbnrton bowed.
"To-nlgbt, then, my dear Miss Allison.'
lie said, quietly. But somehow his klndlv
heart vu heavy with a foreknowledge of i
wbatblaantwer would be. '

wat turning over tho vexed problem
which has daunted so many women what
to do with her life her spoiled life.
Could the marry Mr. If'arburton, and
forget all about the man aha loved, who was
falso and faithless?
"I cannot!" tho moaned "Heaven help
me, I cannot give him up! Oh, Lawrence!
Lawrence V
She lifted ber head. Lawrence Leigh
ttood before her, pale and agitated, lie
stooped and took her hand before the could
prevent It.
"Beth! For Heaven's take explain!" he
cried. "You have inado me to unutterably
wretched for the past three weeks; bnt I
rould never get a chance to beg an explan
ation. Beth, why liave you avoided me to
that I have had no opportunity to tell you
how I love you?"
"Mr. Lelgh'l" Trembling with Indlgna
tlon, she aroso and faced him. "How dare
you! What would Miss Lyell say If the
heard you?"
He smiled.
"Gertrude? Oh, the tent me here, nad
It not been for her (kind, sympathetic little
thing!) I would not havo found this oppor

"Engaged to vour brother? Then that
explains all."

lowed. Perfect reconciliation between the
lovers reconciliation which, though It
brought pain to Mr. Warburton, ho was
able to rejoice at tn his unselfishness, for
their takes.
He gave the bride a handsome dow ry, for
the sake of her dead father, his formei
friend. And Beth Allium Leigh declares
that tho has changed her mind lu one re

THE WirCH'8 PATE.
A Crotl Prrjnllco of Old Times Mora Than
Eqnalsd Mow.
2ot many decadet ago In this country,
the people were excited over witchcraft
Persons inspected were thrown Into the
water; If not witches, they would drown If;
tney were wllches, they would iwirn ashore,
and would bo put to deathl In any event.
they wcredootLed!
Not many years ago if a perton were
taken tick with advanced disorder of the
kidneys, the physician would pronounce
the disease Brlgbt't disease, and when to
dic!arel, he regarded his retpomlt t'ltT at
an end, for medical authority admitted that
the disease was Incurable.
When the physician found a patient Hint
afflicted, be would say, "Oh.atllgbt attack
of the kidneys; will be all right In a llltle
while." He knew to the contrary. But If
he could keep hit patient on hit hands for
a row months, he knew be would derive n
great revenue from hit catc, and then when
tho disease had progressed to a certain stage,
lie would state the facta and retire, exoner
ated from all blame.
But the eirorof supposing the-disease
Incurable, bat swayed the public, mind,
long after the fact has ceased to bev But
public opinion hat been educated to the
true status of the case by those who have
discounted the Incurability theory, and the
public recognizes and tesclOet to the fact
that Warner't safe cure It a. specific for
this dlseatc. TJilt hat been thown with
thousands of testimonial.
Upon referring to them. In. our filet we
find that 5,000 reward will be given to any
one who crn prove that so far as themami
facturers know they are not genuine, and
that hundreds of thousands similar In
character could be published, If It were
necessary.
This condition of things Is vciy amusiny
lo the Journalist, who looks upon all side
of every question. Proof should be
ecceptud by all, but prejudice fights proof
fortnany years. It seems atrange that
when a proprietary medicine Is doing tbe
good that Warner't safo euro Is, that tho
physicians do notpubzicly Indorse It. Many
or them, we aro told, privately presctlbo It,
as It is soliLby dealers In every part of the
countiy.
A few years ago, as stated, when a man
had Brlght's disease, the doctor boldly
announced it, because be thought it relieved
him of responsibility.
To-dav when ptomlnent people are dying
(and hundreds of thousands of common
people die of the same disease), wc are told
that doctors disguise fact that it Is Brlght's
disease of the kidneys and say they die of
paralysis, of apoplexy, of pneumonia, of
consumption, of general debility, of rheum
atism, of heart disease, of blood poisoning,
or some other of tho names of the direct
effects of kidney disease. They are not the
real disease Itself.
We sometimes wonder If they avoid stat
ing the real cause of disease for fear they
will drive tho public Into patronage of the
only scientific proprietary specific for kid
ney diseases and the thousand and ono di
seases that originate In inactive kidneys.
We do not bellevo oyery advertisement
we read. Some people perhaps may regard
this article as an advertisement and will
not believe it, but wo are can lid enough to
say that wo believe the parties above men
tioned have stated their case and proved It,
and under such circumstances the public Is
unwise If It is longer Influenced by advctie
prejudice.
