MUSIC IN camp.
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.
Down 'flocked the soldiers to tho banks
Till margined by its pebbles,
One wooded shore was blue with "Yanks,"
And one was Gray with "Rebels."
Thor, all M' r

With movements light and tricksy,
Blade stream and toont, hill and strand;
Reverberate with" Dixie."
The conscious streams, with burnished glow
Went proudly o'er its pebbles,
But thrilled throughout Its deepest now
With yelling or the Rebels.
Afnin a pause, and then Again
rite trumpet Dented sonorous,
And Yankee Doodle ,was the attain
To which the shore gave chorus.
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.
The sad, lonc streruh its noiseless tread
Spread o'er the glistening pebbles ;
All silent now the Yankees stood,
All silent stood the Rebels;
For.meh responsive snul had hear 1

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.

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

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

tittered and nudged each other's elbows,
and tho'yonng wren cracked furtive_jokes

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

; 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

l tip of her toot a sleek, lazy-looking gray
cat that lay purring and blinking on the

Annie sat on the other side, of the
table deftly drawing her needle,in and

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."

sewing by the fire that frosty night in

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

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&

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,

being responsible for the death of his
master in Scranton, Pa. The canine was

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. •
