Two armies covered hill and plain, Where Rappahannock's waters Ran deeply crlinsOrsed with the stain Of battle's recent slaughters. The summer clouds lay pitched like tents In meads of heavenly azure: And each dread gun of the elements, Slept in its bid embrasure. The breeze to softly blew it made No forest leaf to quiver, And the smoke of the random cannonade, Rolled slowly from the river. And now where circling bills looked down, With cannon grimly phoned, O'er listless camp and silent town The golden sunset slanted ; When on the fervid air there came A strain, not, ric4, now tender, The music seemed itself a flame With day's departing splendor. A Fodetal hand, which eve and morn Played measures brave and nimble, Had just struck up with flute and horn And lively clash of cymbal.

The laughing ripple shoreward flew 'TO kiss the shining pebbles— Loud shrieked the crowded Boys In Blue, Detianee to the Rebels. And yet once more the tingle rang Above the strtriny riot ; No shout upon the evening rang— There reigned holy quiet.

Zhc ffitorg A KISS IN THE DARK "Will you be at home to-night, An nie r The person who as ed this q nes tion, a tall, mus.cular.good-looking young farmer, was leaning upon Squire Itoore's front gate talking to the Squire's pretty daughter, who stood inside of it. As the simple words passed his lips he reidened suddenly to the very roots of his fair hair as if he had just been guilty of some great impropriety. lie was bashful—extremely bashful was Datiid Winthrop—at least in the presence of young ladies, most of all in the pres ence of the girl he loved. No voting mat. in all Wilkes county owned a bet ter kept farm, or talked with more confidence among his cronies of stock and crops and such like. But the sight of a pretty foot or face coming his way affected him queer ly. On such occasions he never knew what to do with his hands and eyes and 's*med always to feel like screwing him self into the nearest mouse hole until the danger—that is to say, the young lady was past This state or things being considered, I no one ever understood how he contrived' to muster lip courage enough to enlighten I Annie Moore on the subject of Lis prel erence fur herself. The matter probably ; remains to this day as much a mystery to him as it is to others. liiseltrinie, however, had a fair share of tact and womanly cleverness stowed' safely away somewhere in the recesses of her pretty little head, although it was carried jauntily upon the inexperienced and rounded shoulders of fresh eighteen. She did not need to be reminded that David was worth, in a worldly way, much more than any of her other suitors, and that ho was good-looking, good-hearted and intelligent enough to satisfy any but an over fastidious person of her class. lie was unexceptionable, in short, bar ring his unconquerable and excessive bashfulness, which indeed, was a never failing source of merriment to the young people of their little circle. So when Ibvid in his awkward, blun dering; half frightened manner began shy ly to exhibit his preference for her in curious little ways, such as waiting on her to and from singing school, constituting himself her escort when she went Sun day!, on horseback to the lonely little Char& In the woods, and singling her out as the recipient of whatever attentions he' nould find the nerve to pay, at the fre• quent'cluilting 'parties in the neighbor hood, Annie did not frighten him out of his budding passion by any show, either by an pprise or marked preference, but took it alt in"the easiest, plmintest; Most Un conscious manner possible. The girls tittered and nudged each other's elbows, and tho'yonng wren cracked furtive_jokes at the expense of her timid suitor, but she stool up for him like- Areal .kind-heart- CA, truivendent , Western lass, as SLII :WV/ and tikg 4D'Ocoaragelliai out of. busby. MONTROSE, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 1873. ness as far as she consistently could., She never seemed to notice any of his unfortunate blunders, and very likely helped him along considerable when his feelings reached the culminating point, one moon-lighted August evening, as they were walking home together from a corn husking. That had been just one week ago. An nie had said ' yea," and had agreed 'ln take the responsibility of bringing father and mother "around" on the subject. David had not been to the house since. Proba bly he felt very much like ridog who fears' to Venture upon the premises of a person whose sheepfold he has just plundered. Thus it happened that as yet the "old folks" knew nothing of their momen tous secret, which they kept between themselveS, fearing to divulge. And now Annie, who wished to put off the ordeal of avowal as long as possible—at ally rate to gain time for one more confidential talk with David on the subject—said has tily in reply to that stammered query of his with which we have prefaced this nar ,ration. "Mother is going over to Aunt Ruth's with father to spend the evening, and she wants me to go, too, but I guess I won't. I've been working on father's new shirts all day, besides doing the dairy werk yes terday, and I'm shout tired out." Than shk added before lie could reply : "Don't come until 8 o'clock, I shall be about through putting things to rights by that time."( Of courdinavld was not too obtuse to understand that he was specially favored by this arrang,ement, and he so far forgot his bashfulness as to petition awkwardly for a parting kiss, which was at once re fused in the most inexorable manner por sible. "No, you shan't! There, now! Do take yourself off, will you' D've think I didn't s,e you fidgeting around - Em. Smith at Deacon Anderson's sociable lust night! I've not feigotten Mal, sir!" "Oh, now. Annie ! test one I" But further appeal was broke off by al tantalizing little laugh, and when.render ed desperate by this, he tried to revenge himself, at the very moment when he thought he was secure of the coveted bliss and stooped his head triumphantly over, his struggling prisoner, the rosy, laughing face vanished suddenly from under his arm and was off and away tip the garden path leading to the lions.' al most before he could realize what had . happened. For one moment David, who stood gazing ruefully after her, thought of pur suit and a re-capture. But before he had tune to put his plan into execution, his tormentress, after stopping to give one mocking farewell wave of her hand from the front porch, vanished inside of the halt door. So there was nothing to be done but to turn reluctantly from the gate and take the road homeward. If von could have looked into the fain- i ily sitting room at Squire Moore's shortly before eight o'clock on that same evening you would have had a cheery picture be ' fore you. The after supper clearing away was over,for the sitting room was also the I room where the daily meals of the flintily were eaten. The leaves of the old froth- i honed dinner table led been let down And ! the table itself covered with a bright oil- c'oth, set back against the wall. Tim,- ' crumbs had Then carefully brushed with a tut key win from the neat home-made! carp, t, and Annie's workstand was drawn ; up in front of the ample and blazing lire, of hickory logs which crackled cheerily in the old fashioned fire-place. A bountifully piled tray of red checked apples and a plate full of cracked ert.thiuts I were on it, in close proximity to Annie's I coquettish work basket, made of pine cones by her own deft little hands, and duintly lined with blue silk. On one side of the fire place sat Mrs. Moore, fat, fair. anti more than forty, at peace with all the world. She sat swaying I backwards and forwards at intervals m her low rocking chair, knitting as she rocked and refreshed herself now and then with a mouthful from a half-eaten apple which lay within easy reach, just upon the corner of the table ; or touch dig in a caressing manner with with the l tip of her toot a sleek, lazy-looking gray cat that lay purring and blinking on the hearth rug before ber. • Annie sat on the other side, of the table deftly drawing her needle,in and out of a long piece of white cambric, and with her head as busy as her hands with trving.to conceive some clever way of in cidentally mentioning the visit, which she' was.ncw momentarily expecting, to_her. motber, without exciting the suspicion of its being a pre-arrangkl affair. She would have given a good deal to have been able to say in an off-hand manner that she wouldn't wonder if Mr. Winthrop - were to drop in, as he was in the habit of calling occasionally on Saturday evening at about this time. But she tecollected with a twinge of conscience how hard she bad tried to persuade the old lady to accom pany her husband on the promised visit to Aunt Ruth's in spite of her forewarn ings of a coming spell of "neurnigy," which had intimidated her from ventur ing out into the damp night air; and al so how she had plead headache as an ex- 1 ense for not going herself. Bbe knew that her mother was quite sharp enough to draw her own infifrence from these two facts and the additional one of her being dressed with more than usual care to spend an evening home. "I shall no , dare to tell her now,", she said to herself. "She'd be sure to tink that I wanted to get her out of the 'way, so that I might have David all to myself." 80, like a wise littleyoss, she was , venture My word °hit, you Would not have wondered at our bashful young , farmer's desperate enthrallment if be could have seen Annie Moore as she sat sewing by the fire that frosty night in November. She had, just before enpper,l indulged in what a Western girl would Call "a fixing up." A neat-fitting dark ehints , dress, looking as fresh as when it had first came out of the village store, a dainty white linen collar end cuffs, and a coquettish frilled apron of white muslin and a blue neck ribbon tied in a cunning bow, - sierelliik - chief *Woof Annie's toil e.ttea.;,- dint silo:looked antt and prat as if hour, hod been donning satin, lace and jewels. Her rich, wavy, gold-brow hair was carried in shinning folds away from her warm red cheek and caught up in the meshes of a silken net at the back. Eight o'clock and past! Worthy Mrs. Moore was dozing over her knitting.— shadow on the opposite wall bobbed her about in grotesque mimicry as she nod ded to and fro--now crushing the volu minous white satin bows on her spruce cap against the back of her chair—now almost fulling forward, while her fat bands at length dropped listlessly in her lap, and her ball of yarn rolled down upon the hesrth. Pussy espying it, was soon busy iu unwinding and converting it into all sorts of Gordian knot& All at once a double rap at the door— an audacioua double rap—which said "Let me in !" so loudly and. impatiently ; and in each a self assured manner, that Annie, rendered nervous' by suspense, started up with a little scream and set her foot on Diadunie Puss's tail, who in turn gave vent still loudly, to her amaze ment and displeasure. All these three combined or rather rapidly successive noises, aroused Mrs. Moore, and she started wildly into an erect posture,rnbbing her eyes, sotting her cap border and exclaiming: "Bless my soul, Annie! What was all that? Somebody at the door? What time, is it, anyhow, and who can it be ? Su late as this., too ?” `•lt is not very late, mother. Only a little after eight. and see who it is," said Annie, demurely at the same time taking the one candle from the ta ble. "No! Here, Annie, you wind up my ball and brush up the hearth while I go to the 000 r. . Drat that cat. For the old lady's teat were all this while struggling in the perplexing meshes of the ravelled yarn. In her hurry Mrs. Moore forgot to take the candle with her ; and as she stepped out into the small, unlighted front entry, she unwittingly closed behind her the dour of the room she had just left. Al most at the same moment she put her hand on the latch of the outer door, .and' opening, it, she suddenly found herself in the ardent embrace of a pair of stout arms. A whiskered face was brought in to close proximity with her own, and be fore she could fully realize her position she received a prolonged kiss—a hearty smack, given with a significart gusto which indicated that the unknown was taking his reienge for some past slight— paying souse okl score; for it said as plainly as words could have done!— "There, take that!" And all this felt upon her unoffentling, virtuous matron I lips! "Oh, murder! murder ! 'Taint Joshua neither!" For she had by this title divested her self of the impression that it Was her eel ally sober spouse retnnted home in a strangely exalted eonditit n, thus to in- dulgo in such unwonted d•moustrations or eoniogal affection. '• Git out! git out I jai•! murder!lire! thieves!Annie! An na.: do come here! here's a man kissin' me like maul" But the intruder had by this time dis covered his mistake, and it did not need the indignant pummelling and pounding of the old lady's resnectable fists to make him relinguish his hold and race off as if pursued by some avenging fury. Annie, nearly choked with smothered laughter, in spite of trepidation, now came to the rescue. "Mr, I was never so took aback in all my horn days. The mean scamp! Who could it have been ? Annie, have you any idea?" But that dutiful daughter was to all np pearances as innocent and ignorant as an infantile dove. She tried to Booth the in dignant matron by representing . that it might have been (?) one of the neighbors, who, under the potent influence of a wee drop too much, had mistaken the house and—the housewife! She " searched the en ley for the missing spectacles, arranged the rumpled cap ribbons', wound up the tangled yarn, stirred the fire—all in the most aimiable manner possible—and at last had the satisfaction of seeing her mother subside into her rocking chair and i 1 her usual tranquility of spirit. But Mrs. Moore was fully awake now. She had gotten a new idea into her bead; and instead of setting herself for another nap, she pursued her train of thought and her knitting, both together with wonderful rapidity. At length,stop ping and loeking keenly at Annie over her spectacles, she stud : • "It may be a queer notion of mine, Annie,but I've a fancy that that man was David Winthrop." Oh I but if Annie's face didn't catch fire then I Yon might have lit any utun • ber or candles by it. These suspicions symptoms did not es cape the eye or the killful inquisitive, who calmly continued: "Tears so to me ; cause them big whir- . kers put me in mind of his'n ; and then the awkward way ho gripped me with his big paws I" o answer. But Annie was wonderfal ly busy. She -bent over her work and drew her needle through so quickly that the thread snapped, and then the didn't have time to talk, shC was so taken up with trying to coax the thread through the eve again ! Infleiible Mrs. Moore went on: "I don't believe that kiss was intended for me after all. .Do you, Annie? Well, of course, we know.lt,wasri't:::.lhit then, I do wonder WhiVit. was intended for?— And I wonder if you don't know more about it than you seem'fit to tell ?" • "Me, mother?" _"Yes;'ree motheri'yon was mighty anx iGnS to get me au' Pap off to Aunt Ruth's to-night ; but I noticed you was slicked, extraordinary for all you wern't going." • Here Annie lost her needle and went down on the floor to hunt it. "Xow,,Annie" her mother went on,"l'm gettin' old, I know that, bat I haven't quite lost my eyesight yet, nor my hearin' neither. I've surntised a little somethin' about these goin'a on betteen you an' David afore, now. What are you playo' p9ssum lur? Out with it,. I say. T'aint fairto beitryin',to come it over your old jnothet," . . • • Thus adjured,. our small feminine Meehiaval made a clean breast of it, much relived to find that:mother "hadn't nothin' agin him," sod 'would give father a talk in' to about it an' bring him around.' "But, Anna," said Mrs. Moor, dryly, in conclusion, "I want you to tell David I'd rather he'd eat make such a mistake again. I don't like the feel of his big whiskers about my face, and. moreover, I don't approve of pmmiskus I" David never heard the last of that kiss is the dark. Old Squire Moore, of course, heard of it, and used to take great delight in slyly alluding to the eircumstams.- when all the parties concerned happened to be present. He would shake his bar 1y sides with laughter at David's discom fiture and his wife's tart replies 4 while Annie would Bide with her father and poke sly fun at her sweetheart, and then both of them would langh again at the other until the tears ran down their cheeks. ' "Never mind," David," Mrs. Moore would say consolingly to the abashed lov er, "let them laugh.' He'd have been only too glad to have been in your• place thirty years ago. He had hard work to get b kiss from me then. I hope the oc currence will be a lesson to you an' An nie agin the un-polic' of underhand do- Ws of all sorts, seem as'how they're lia ble to end, in sich cases, in kissin' the wrong one iu the dark. Irish Ladles: —O--- Happening, to be in Qneenstown, Ire• land, one evening in July last, I was in. vited to attend a grand ball. I had been doing some of the interior districts of Ireland, and was so tired 'that at first I was rather inclined to excuse myself.— But before deciding, I asked a question or too: "Is it a big thing ?" "Never saw anything so grand in town!" "What class ~f women ?" "The first class; the very best from Queenstown, Cork—in tact, the most beautiful women in the world." I knew how the common women of Ireland looked. I had seen hundreds of them about Killarney selling "mountain dew and goat's milk,' and in fact for some time had seen nothing else. But I had seen the common class only—the servants,' peddlers and peasants. I had not seen the aristocracy. I made up my mind to go. The number of ladies was about one hundred and fifty. Their dress was like that of American ladies on similar occa sions, only a trifle more so—sleeves a lit tle shorter, corsage a little lower. The ladies were remarkably self possessed, quiet and graceful, and I think on the whole averaged prettier than I have ever seen for the number on such an occasion. Some of our naval officers were present in their stunning nniforms.and were hon ored with marked attention and the sweetest smiles. I have written all this regmarole in or der to say something about the physical development of these Irish ladies. The Irish girls we have seen in Ameri ca have full chests, large, fine arms, and lare altogether plump and vital. When au American lady has shown me her arms— candle-dips. No. B—and has asked, "How can I get such arms as Bridget's?" and. I have said "Work—work as she does, and you will ii are her arms," the lady has gen ' erally said, "0, that is not work, that comes from climate. I tell you if I had been brought up in Bridget's climate, I should have had her fine bust, but this terrible dry American air lakes all the juices out of us." My cariosity was on tip:toe to see how Irish ladies, brought up 3n their moist, even climate, but without work, would look. I have said there was one hundred and fifty ladies present. They were certainly very prettily dressed, but now, taking the witness-stand, I testify 00 I have never in America seen one hundred and fifty young women together with arms so small and chests se flat and thin. They belong to the idle class, and all the world over women of the idle class have spindle arms and thin chests, unless they become merely fat, which, with their weak muscles, is a sad embarrass ment. Elegance, education, lank, aspiration, ambition, prayer—these will not prodhce n strong, full, muscular body. They are not the appointed means. - Exercise! ex ercise I work I work ! this produces strong muscles, full chests and physical beauty. Work is the appointed means.—Die Lew is, in , To-day. A TOO-FAITHFUL dog come very neat being responsible for the death of his master in Scranton, Pa. The canine was following his owner, Mr. John Snyder, a gentleman of seventy years,when the latter was overcome by the intense cold, and fell in the snow on the street. The old-gen tleman's predicament was discovered by a watchmen, but all efforts of the. latter to afford relief were frustrated by the dog, who would not allow him to approacb.the prostrate form. Finally a partyof laborea came along, the trusty dog was driven off with clubs, and , the old man rescued just in time to save his life, although very Wi ly frost-bitten. THE manner of cultivating the cucum ber in Japan is somewhat novel, and in, some respects superior to our trade. In stead of sowing the seed in -hills, it is 'sown in double rows, as peas are frequently done, only at a greater "distance apart, both between the rows and the plaiits, say three feet between the •first. The vines are supported by placing brushwood along each row, forming an arch, over which' they may grow. The advantages this . method presents are, that the fruit is al ways clean and straight, of a uniform col , or on all sides, and mn be gathered with out incurring the danger of injury, to the vines by tramping ou them. • THE economy of rapid and comfortable transit for beef cattle was recently shown at a meeting held in IStuncheBter,Eagland.
