Trouble and the King.
The grst work Hans Stein (lid in
the spring was to dig his beari-bed.
Ile was so very fond of pork and
beeps: that he liked to know the bed
was ready long before it was time for
Planting the seed. His little son
Karl played about him,, and when he
was tired of playing„ oat on an old
.
stump near by, and sang to himself.
When Hans bad finished dig g ing,
he wanted his hoe, so he turned to
the stunip, against'which he had Tut
t, but Karl had taken it off, and
with ►t was digging up the ground
near the house. -;
, When his father called him, he
brought the hoe back, but took the
rake instead, and:wandered out of
sight. go when Hans wanted the
rake, it was also gone, and'; he be-
came very angry, and pitching the
hoe on the ground, started to look
for Karl.
"Don't you do that again

"Do what?" said Hans, licOking
around.
Why, pitch your awkward tools

must think there is no. else in the
world

"It's well yciu didn't I'l said the
fairy. ":It would =hlv6 -been bad fur
you if you had. But you have knock
e,tl the roof of my house in."
Mans took off -his hat and scratch.
ed his head This was a pretty look
out. Offending a farm-fairy in the
4 _ l very beginning of spring!
" Well, now," said he slowly, " I
don't knoW what to do about it. I—."
"Suppose you mend it," said the
fairy, sharply, and then disappeared.
"If I knew where it was I Would,"
said Hans, and he began
,looking
about.
, It then occurred .to hiin that
the ho.us must lie Under the hoe so
he picked it up and began looking
closely 'for it.
He had twice before seen a fairy,
but had not the slightest idea what a
fairy's house looked like.
Presently he saw that the iron part
of the hoe 'had been broken into the
.earth, and he began to look closely
at . that point. Ile then carefully lift
ed a clod of the loosened earth, faun
a hole underneath, looked in; and
saw the fairy's house.
It was small, square and beautiful
ly neat. The door was strewn with
pine leaves, and in the corner was a
dear little bed made of soft, young,
green. buds, and covered with a blan
ket made of bird's feathers.
Hans took off all of the roof, and
was very careful not to let any dirt
fall on the - floor. He then measured
the hole, and cut a- green clover sod
just the right size, and fitted it in,
with the green part down.
He theß went back to. his work,
and tried to use his hoe instead of the
rake, but he could not make it do
very well, so he became mad at Karl
again. _ -
That, was very well done," said
the fairy; appearing on the stutp..
" It Was quite a good idea to pui the
sod' in upside down. It looks *ell,
and the worms will now be more apt
to go up than down. I hate worms.
ii hat do you want for pay ?"
"I want," said flans crossly, "that
what I put on that stump shall stay
there." . .
-" Very well," said the fairy, jump
ing off in great haste; "but why, do
you ask for such a ridiculous thing
as that? You might have had a bag
of 'gold, or been, a king, or something
like that."
"go I might !" cried Hans. " But
I take that wish back. be a king.
"No yo,u won't," replied the fairy,
"it's too late- now. You have had
your wish."
The harve4 that year was very
good, and the people that year look
ed forward to a better winter than
usual, and' Hans said to his wie, Lis
butt', as one evening he lighted his
pipe, after slipper, that when the
corn was sold he would buy another
pig.
DITER a DsVOE.
Lisbeth nooded her head, for she,
too, likid pork and beans, and Hans
then opened the door to look at the
sky.
coming up the path was a tall,
thin, unpleasant-looking man. lie
wore a shabby old giiy cloak, and
he carried a black-box, bound with
brass, and marked "Pandora." When•
be came near - to Hans he stood still,
but said not a word.
" Geed evening" said Hans.
The:;-man nodded but he did not
speak.
" What do you want ?" asked
Hans.
"To come in," replied the man.
"Oh, you do!" Hans said;

" That is a good dish," said she.
" Why don't you have some now ?"
"I can't," said Hans. "-That would
never do. Kings don't eat pork and
beans!"
" A few days after this Discontent
came to the, king just before dinner.
Instead of her fan she had her bon
net in her hand.
" I have to go to my house," she
said_; " but I will be back soon. I
have something lovely there. I
wouldn't miss it for anything."
" What's that ?" said Hans.
" Pork and beans !" said she.
" Don't you want some ?"
"Of course I do," replied Hans,
eagerly_; "but you couldn't bring me
any. The guards - wouldn't let yon

" I suppose not she replied ; " but
I tell you what you could do. You

But he had not noticed that,las
they walked, Discontent took him
out of , his kingdom, and that her
house was far beyond his boundary

He was too busy thinking of pork
and beans to notice anything.

And about 3 o'clock in the'after
noon the shock came. The left of
the Federal line was held by the 3d
Corps, which through a misappre
hension of his orders by its com
mander had been projected in front
of general line, so that there was
formed on this flank a salient angle,
its right side extending from the
general line out to a peach orchard
called "Sherry's," and its let side
reaching back toward Cemetery ridge
near Little Round Top. On this left
side of the angle made by the 3d
Corps the- attack fell.. The greater
development the 'Confederate line
enable it not only to cover the whole
of this left front of the 3d Corps but
also to thrust its right . flank into the
ravine between the two Round Tops.
These knobs once in their possession,
the Confederates would hold the key
4o the entire position.of the Federate
and be enablud to take the latter in
reverse. The Round Tops therefore
became points of supreme import
ance. Owing in part to the misplace.
ment of the 3d Corps and in part to
a seeming misapprehension of their
relation to the general position, these
knobs were up to this moment wholly
unoccupied by n Federal force. For
tunately, the sth Corps, of which it'
will be remembered the Reserves'
formed part, were now near enough
at hand to make possible, by rapid
and energetic movement, the oppos
ing of a brigade or two to.the almost
consummated attempt of the Confed
erates upon Little Round Top. These
checked the onset of the Confeder
ates; and being reinforced, repulsed
for the_time their determined assault.
But.the Federal success was tempo--
rAry. — With fresh accessions of
Strength. the enemy pressed forward,
sweeping from before them every
vestige of resistance to their seizure
of the coveted "coigne of vantage."
The sun was rapidly declining, and
it Seemed .as if its rays falling on
Little-Round Top would be reflected
from the bayonets of victorious Con
federates.

' T r
Breaking, now'here, now there, soon
the Confederate lines resolved them
selves Into tt,i dalordered and fleeing
mass of Noveg. Thep as they
dashed down - the slope inlitirsuit the
Reserves rtilstd a cheer so mighty
that even the, townspeople of Gettys
burg, two miles away, beard-and
recognized it, and. welcomed it as the
only hopeful sign that the fight had
so far give forth. The Reserves
pushed their_ pursuit of the flying foe
across the plain, over the stone ball
that bounded it and 'across the wheat
field beyond until the woods received
and sheltered their discomfitted ene
my. Behind the stone wall, to which
they bad returned from the pursuit,
they found a resting-place for the
night. The reveille that roused the
slumbrous warriors on the morning
of the 3d was the crack of rebel rifles
and the "zip" of minie balls. The
sharpshooters of the enemy, posted
in trees, , waited only for sufficient
light . .to enable them to descry the
recumbent forms Of the Reserves
scattered over the plain to renew
hostilities. What a moment before
had been
~ a scene of repose became
instantaneously one, of lively move
went. The rudely-awakened sleep
ers, hastily .gathering their arms,
blankets and accoutrements, went
scurrying forward to the'cover of the
wall. Over on the right of the Fed
eral lines heavy work was being done
by the gallant 12th Corps in driving
be rebels back from the advanced
!odgment they had gained .the day
before; but on our flank such battle
as was raging was mainly 'between
the picketh of the two armies. Altho'
the Reserves were partialliprotected
by the stony rampart behind which
they lay, there was a constant drop=
ping of bullets against and inside of
the wall, and the unwary exposure
of a head or an arm was apt to result
in death or wounds.
i THE HUCKTAILS.
The irrepressible. .Bucktails, the
wild. 'mountaineers of Pennsylvania,
c hose life-long experience with •the
tine bad made them peerleas as sharp
shooters, could with difficulty brook
the restraint that held ! t hem passive
under-a state of things which ap
pealed so strongly to tlitlir amour
propre. They. already
. had . their due
contingent op . - the picket line, but
they all itched to be there.' Squads
of them would come to the brigade
commander and beg him to let them
"go gunning for a reb." The per
mission obtained, they would skip
over the stone wall as lightly as the
red deer of their native wilds, and,
with the mingled Caption and coa
age of veteran hunters, would pass
outside- the line or 'pickets, creep
close to the opposing line, and watch
their opportunity to'..bring down their
game. Two of them caught a rebel .
snugly bestowed among the - -upper
branches of a tree, whence he had . for
hours been picking off our men, whose
rampart eyrie overlooked ; seeing
that be was discovered,i he dropped
his rifle and.exclaimed, "Don't shoot;
I'll come down!" ".We . know .. you
will come down," replied the Buck
tails, with an irony that was lust to
its object by ,reason of the fatal rifle
crack that went with it. Incidents.
like these, importait enough to indi
viduals, but of small account as af
fecting the general result, marked
the earlier hours of that 3d of July,
1863, whieh was to be made memor
able liy the occurrence a little later
of one of the most terrible artillery
duels which ever shook the earth
with its thunders.. I shall not at
tempt to describe it. The imao,ina
tion. which can conceive of hell's
demons suddenly set free and cours
ing through the air with howls and
screams and, piercing yells, may
somewhat nearly realize the nerve
trying discord produced by the storm
of deadly missiles•that broke over the
field ofGettysburg a little after noon.
This tremendous cannonading was
the prelude to the last desperate ef-
fort of the Confederates to wrest, vic
tory Aom the jaws of defeat. The
atteNitr, though gallantly made,
failed, and the shattered columns of
Lee's veterans were hurled bau l k to
advance no more on Pennsylvania
soil against its brave defenders...i-The
great battle of Gettysburg was sub
stanfially over. It tittiri-gly reinainCd,
however, for the Reserves to give
emphasis to the parting, and so •
' 4. lox the drama with the day."
At a late hour of the afternoon
hey dressed their linos as if for pa-
rade, under a hail of grape from the
rebel guns, and springing over the
stone wall, advanced toward the
wooded crest r'
. whioh formed the . lai
of their sullen foe ; nearing it they
rushed forward With battle-cry and
bayonets fixed, carrying havoc and
dismay into - the , very mid4t of the
demoralized rebel host. By well
conceived and rapidly-executed ma
nouvers- the gallant commander of
the Reserves.,presented front to each
new force of the enemy that approach
ed him, come from what direction it
might, and succeeded not only in re
pulsing all attempts at resistance,
but in capturing a large number of
prisoners , and arms.
So ended the borne-coming Of the

The Buoyancy of Water.
Another terrible steamboat slaugh

knowledge of the specific gravity of
the human body, would have saved
much of this frightful loss of life.
There was loose wood enough about
the boat to have floated ten times
.the number of paisengers on the ill
fated vessel, if it had been used with
judgment. The human body weighs
about a pound in the water, and a
single - . chair will carry two grown
persons. That is, it , would keep their
Beads above water, which is all that
is necessary when it is a question of
life or death. The burning vessel
was close to the shore; the water was
calm, and warm, and all of these
passengers might easily have 'limped
overboard and paddled laughing
ashore, if they had only possessed
and used the -simple_ knowledge that

How Near a Soldier can Die
At the battle of Peach -Orchard,
when McClellan - was making his
change of base,. a Michigan country
man fell to the ground as if shot
stone dead, and was left lying in a
heap as the regiment changarposi-
tion.
struck the barrel of his gun, glanced
and struck a button off his coat, tore
the watch out of his vest pocket and
then.struck the man just over the
heart, and was stopped there by a.
songbook in a shirt pocket. He was
unconscious for three-quarters of an
hour, and,it,was full amonth before
the black and blue spot disappeared.
At Pittsburg Landing a member
or the Twelfth Michigan Infantry
stooped down to give a wounded
man a drink from his canteen. While
in this act a bullet aimed at his.
breast struck the canteen, turned
aside, passed through the body of a
wan, and buried itself in the leg o
a horse. The canteen was split open
and dropped to the groUnd in halves
At the second battle or Buil_ Run
as"a New York infantiryman was
passing his plug of tobacco to a com
rade, a bullet struck the plug and
glanced off, burying itself in a knap
sack. The tobacco was rolled up like
a ball' f shavings and carried a hun
dred yards, a way. Directly in line of
the ball was the head of a lieutenant;
and had - ndt the bullet been deflected,
he woula certainly have received
As it was, he had both eyes filled
with.tobacco dust,'and had to be led
to - the rear.
At Brandy Station one of Cutter's
troopers had his left stirrup strap
cut away by a grape-shot, which
passed between his leg and the horse,
blistering the -skin as if a red-hot
iron had been used.
-Ile dismounted to ascertain the
nature of his injury, and as he bent
over a bullet knocked his hat off and
killed his horse. In the same fight
was a trooper who had suffered sev
eral days with toothache. In a'hand
to-hand fight he received a pistol ball
in the right cheek. It knocked out
hie aching doable tooth and pa.ssed
out of the left-hand corner of his
mouth, taking part of an ,Upper t4dth
along. The joy or being rii of the
toothache was so great that the
trooper could not be made to go to
the rear to have his wound dressed
A n object, no matter how trifling,
will turn a bullet from its true course.
This was shown one day at the re
mount camp in Pleasant Valley.
They had a "bullpen " there, in
which aboit fire hundred bounty
jumpers and other hard cases were
under guard. Once in a while one
of these men would make a break for
liberty. Every sentinel in position
would open fire, and it did not nat
ter in the least itthe man ran toward
the crowded camp. On this occasion
a prisoner made for the-camp, and as
many as six shots were gred at him
without effect. One of the bullets
entered the tent of a captain in the
Twelfth Pennsylvania - cavalry. He
was lying down and the course of the
,bullet would have buried it in, his
chest. Fortunately for him, the can
dle by which he was reading sat on a
stand between him and where the
bullet entered. This was struck and
cut square in two, and the lighted
end dropped to the floor without be _
ing snuffed out. The ball was de
flected, and buried itself in the pil
low under the officer's head, passed
out of that and through his tent, mi
tered one. behind it, passed betwklen
two men and brought up against a
camp-kettle.—Detroit Free Press.

Burdette on the Blackberry.
The greatest enemy the blaekber,
ry has is boys. Five boys from town
can eat more green blackberries in a
day than would ripen in a week. For .
many ,years the great desideratum
has been a hardy berry that requld
resist the premature onslaught of
boys from town. It is a greatdesid-
eration still. The Schneider, a Varie.
ty that was invented - by an lowa
horticulturist, is the nearest ap
proach•to.lt. It is bred from a-per
fectly.green persimuibn crossed with
a dogwood tree, and still further pro
pagated with a hybrid of wormwood
bush and wild crabapple: It is not
a perfect'ilefence, but - there are. very
few boys who care to eat more than
a quart of them Nobody else, how
ever, can go past the:field where the
Schneder is growing, without
. .being
attacked by Asiatic cholera, and this
tends to weaken the partial: success
this hardy berry has achieved. Then
there is a bug—l do not know the'
name of it--that,crawls-over the ber
ries now and then. When ,you eat a
berry that has been glorified -by
visit from the bug, 'you lie down in
the briars and pray Heaven to- take
you home' in just about three sec
onds. And if-you live •yonrcan sake
up in the night, along in the middle
of next winter, and shudder as. you
taste orthat berry.
When your blackberries grow, too
'thickly, you will want to thin them
out. To this end' you must kill
some Of them. 'lbis Caif be done by
digging a well where the
. plant
stands; then turn the farm upside
down and let it dry- . out' thoroughly
for a couple of years, then turn it
over upside down, and start - a brick—
yard on the back of it.: This - will
kill otf some of the planta.....There
may be Borne' shorter and relieaper
method of killing blackberry vines
than this, but I have never heard of
it, and it isn't likely that there is
any.
It you want to devote about forty
acres aground to the cultivation of
blackberries, plant Shout • three heal
thy vines in some corner of the field,
about the middle. of April. Then
about the first of May the man whci
'owns the-farm -on the other side, of
the road will bring civil` action
against' you, and try to collect dam
agesfor destruction of his two fields
of wheat by
.a raid of blackberry .
vines.
It is not known just at what sea
son of the year blackberries - ripen.
The blackberry has never • been
. known to ripen: t if the hucksters
and boys should all die in June, it is
probable that the berries would ripen
some time in July of August.: .But
they have never had a chance to see
what they could do at ripening.—

The Roughest New Hat 'Story
You Ever Read.
Probably the meanest trick tat
was ever played on a white man was
played.last week in this city, and tJe
fact that there is no Vigilance -Om
mittee. here is the, only reason the
perpetrators of 'the trick are alive.
A business man had purchased a new
stiff hat e and he went into a saloon
with half a-dozen .friends to fit the
hat on his head. They all took beer
and passed the hat around so all
could see it. One of the meanest men
that ever, held a e county office went
to the bar-tender and had athin slice
of Limburger cheese cut off, and
when the., party were looking at the
frescoed ceiling through the beer
glasses the Wicked person slipped the
cheese under the sweat leather of the
hat; and the man put it . 4n and walk
ed-out.
,The man who o 'd the hat is one
of out nervous p'e ple, who is always
complaining of being sick, and who
feels as though 'some (tread ful disease
was going to take possession of him
an carry him off. went back to
hisiPlace of business, took off his bat
and laid it on the'table,and proceed
ed to answer some letters . . He thon i ghi.
he detected a smell, and when his
partner asked him if he didn't feel
sick he said he believed be did.
A clerk Said it was evident that
somebody's feet needed washing. The
man, turned pale, and said he gUessed
he would go home. He met'4 man
on the sidewalk who said the air was
full, if miasma, and - in the street car
a man who sat next to him moved
away to the end of the ear. and asked
him if he had just„come from Waver
ly. The man with the bat said he
had not, when-the stranger said they
were having a great deal of smallpox
there, and he guessed he would get
out and walk,. and he pulled the bell
and jumped' off..
The cold perspiration broke out
on the forehead of the man with the
new hat, and he took it Off to wipe
his forehead, When the whole piece
of cheese seemed to turn - over and
breathe, synd the mail got the full
benefit of -it, and he came near faint
ing sway. - He got home, and his
wife met and asked him what-was the
matter. He said he believed mortifi
cation had set in,fand she took one
whiff as he took off his hat, and said
that she Would think it hid. "Where
did you get Int-Olt?" said she. ," Get
into it 17 , said- the Man I have not
got- into arrything, but some deadly
diseape bait . got bold of me, and I
shallnot live."' She got his clothes
oksnalted -his feet in mustard water,
'Md he - slept. ' -
The hat was lying on the centre
table, and the children.would come
in and get a smell of it arid look at. : •
each other with reproachful glances.
and go out and play., The Tian slept,
and dreamed that a smallpox flag '
was , hung in front of his house, and - -
that he was riding in a butcher's wag
on to the-pest house. " The woman
sent for a - doctor, and when the man
of pills arrived she told hiM all 'about
the case. The doctor picked up the
patient:B new hat, tried it on and got
a sniff. He -said the hat was picked
before, it was ripe. The doctor and
the wife held a post-mortem exami
nation-of the hat and found the slice
of Limburger. " Few and short were
the prayers they said."
Thep .woke the patient, and , to Ore ,
pare" his mind for the revelation - that
was about to be made the doctor
asked him if his worldly affairs were ..
arranged in a satisfactory condition. .
He gasped arid said they were. The .
doctor asked him-if he had made his
will. He said that he. hatinbt, but
he wanted a lawyer' sent for at once.
The doctor had asked him if -he felt -
as though he waa prepared to shuffle
oft. The man said he bad always
tried to lead a different life, and tried
to be done by the same as he would
do it himself; but that he might - have
made a •mistake some Ray, and that
he would - Mk - vs have a minister gat
for to take account of the stock.'
Then the doctor brought to the
bedside the hat, opened up the .

leather and showed the dying man
what 'it was that smelled so, telling
-him he was as, well is, nu man in the
'city. The man pinched himself to
Js r ee if he was alive, and jumped out
of bed and called- for, his revolver,
and the doctor_ couldn't keep up with
him on his way. down town. The
last We saw of the odorifertMs citizen
he was trying to bribe the .bartender
to tell him which one of those peli
cans it was that put that slice of
