They lay along the battery's side,
Below the smoking cannon
Brave hearts from Severn and from t'lyrie,
And from the bunks of Shannon.
. They sang of Leve and notot Fame:
Forgot was Britain's glory;
Each heart recalled a dilterent name,
F.dt all sang "Annie Laurie."
Voice after rules caught up tha sung.
Until its tender passion
Rose like an anthem, rich and strong
Their battle-eve confession.

Yet, as the song grew louder,
Something apon the soldier's cheek
Washed off the stains of powder.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunset's embers,
Wbile tbe Crimea Valley learned
How British lore remembers.
And once again the fires of hell
Haloed on the Russian quarters,
With f cream or shot and burst of shell.
And bellowing of mortars.
An Irish Nora's eyes are dim
For a singer, dumb and gory :
An English Mary mourns Tor him
Who sang of "Annie Laurie.'

"Wbst do I know about such mat
ters f " raid 'Siaire Potuletbwaite,
rumpiDcr up bis Saxon brown hair
into a crest on tbe very top of bis
head.
Tbe 'Squire was Etandiu? in tbe
middle of tbe eunoj sitting room,
a room aglow with wreaths of autumn
leaves and blossoming geraniums,
with a wood fire on tbe hearth,
which exhaled a fniot pine perfume
from tbe resinooa logs which were
crackling there, and tbe biggest tortoise-shell
cat in New Jesej asleep
in front of tbe biiza. And tbe
'Squire's wife was balancing herself
on tip-toe to eew a button on bis
shirt bosom a malicious button
which bad flown off without tbe
slightest previous notice, a very
Mepbistopheles in mother-of-pearl.
The 'Squire was tall and big, and
ea.ailr wheedled; tbe Squire's wife
was round and petite, and possessed
a good deal of feminioe diplomacy ;
and, as a matter cf course, Mrs. Pos
Uethwaite conquered.
"Ob, my dear, it is tbe simplest
thing in the world," the said.
"But it's not so perfcetly absurd 1'.'
persisted the ''Squire. "Tbe idea of
me going into one t-f those Broad
way places and asking for a
switch ?"
"It's done every day, my dear,"
said Mrs. Poetletbwaite, deftly break
ing the thread. "And rea'.Iy
my hair is getting s thin, what with
crimping and frizzing; and every
body wears a false braid, or curls,
or something, and I am positively
singular without one. And I
wouldn't mind waking until I go up
to town in January, if it wasn't for
Fannie Leslie's charade party.
Everbody will be there, and of
course you want me to look as well
as any one else, don't you, dear?"
The 'Squire could not gainsay this
leading proposition. He bad married
a pretty young country girl for love,
and during all tbe five years of their
wedded life tbe torch bad burned
clear upon tbe altar cf his beart.
"Of course I do," be said heartily.
"Then you'll bring me the switch,
won't ycu,?" coaxed Mrs. Postletb
waite. ' If it must be, I suppose it must
be," assented the 'Squire with a
grimace.
And when be drove off to the de
pot he carried in a pocket-case, next
to bis beart, a lock of his wife's flax
en hair lot aa a keepsake, bat as a
cample.
"Thirty-six inches long, at least,"
Mrs. I'ostlethwaite called after bim.
"And crimped a little at the top, if
it's not charged extra for."
'Squire Postletb waite didn't go
to tbe city every dy. As a general j
thing, bis peach farm in New Jersey
occupied ibe most of bis time and at
tention ; but when be did mingle
with tbe gay metropolitan world, be
resolved to enjoy himself to the ut
most. So be engaged a room at tbe
most expensive and aristocratic hotel
be could find, visited tbe Academy of
Deeign, where be didn't understand
tbe pictures at all, and went to tbe
theatre in tbe evening where he
cried over tho tragedy, and laughed
bis vest buttons off at a brisk little
comely that served as an afterpiece,
and was a little abas-red at tbe bal
let- And it is moet probable that be
wculd have forgotten bis wife's com
mission entirely if, in tbe process of
searching his pocket case for a note
wbitb be was to present for payment
at a city bank the next day, he bad
ac chanced to come across the tress
of sbining gold.
Hallo!" said the 'Squire, smiting
his knee with oce hand, "Here's
Polly's bair! And I niutt go and
buy that switch to-morrow, or there
will be tbe deuce and all to pay."
He went that afternoon to dine
with old Mr. Ponsonby at Delmoni
o's for the 'Squire bad all a child's
delight in gilding and lights. Old
Mr. Psnsonby rather discouraged tbe
switch business when, over tbeir
modest bottles of claret, the 'Squire
broached, his proposed errand the fol
lowing morning.
"I wouldn't," raid Mr. Ponsonby,
shaking bis head.
Wouldn't," echoed the 'Squire,
"Why not?'?
"It's running a great tik," said
Mr. ronsoubj, oracularly. "I'm told
tbe yellow fever and small pox, and
all that sort of thing, are disseminat
ed to an alarming extent throngb the
medium of false bair."
'Squire Poatletbwalte opened wide
his eve and mouth.
"Tbey cut off tbe bair of hospital
cases, and sell it to
Tuu see," added Mr.
pay expenses,
Ponsonbr low-
ering bid VCiic.
"So ?" interrogated the 'Squire.
"Fact," ocdded the old gentleman.
"And tfBtles tbey import a deal of

peopie are in no wise: noiea ior clean
liness or health." ,
"ever heard of Inch a tb.inz in
my lire," asseverate! 'Squire Poa
tleth waite. A
"And the only waj to be sure of it
is to cut the hair from the human
head yourself," asserted Mr. Poason
by, peeling a banana
"But I don't see how that can be
done," hesitated tba Jersey peach
farmer.' "
"1 don't either," said Mr. Ponson
by, "and that'd tbe reason I advise
you to drop the wbota thicg."
'Squire Postleth waite shock his
head mildly. It was all very well
for Mr. Ponsonby to' be thus lavish
with bis counsel, but Mr. Ponsonby
didn't know how it wis himhelf. He
wasn't a married ttan. His wife
hadn't charged bim with a particular
commission, and wasnt expectantly
waiting for bim at holfae.
"Liet Mrs. rostlethwaite be satis
fied with her own hair;" urged Mr.
Ponsonby, nibbling atCan olive.
Women are never satisfied." said
the 'Squire, gloomily .'J
Then let ber leari .tbe letson of
contentment!"
"Women never Iesrn," said the
I5nnt a, -
But he recalled bis friend's good ad
vice tbe next day, wbt-a he walked
into M. Dupigoac's Pentennial Hair
Emporium.
M. Pupignac rubbed his bands as
be burned behind tbe nlate-elass
counter, and begged blindly to know
in what be could bfcve the happi
ness to serve monsieur."
I want a switcb.l said 'Squire
I'ostlethwaite, a little tmeasy under
the bright-eyed regards of M. Dupig-
nac's ten "sales ladies." who were
dressed rather more splendidly than
his Polly, even in he j church-going
attire, and wore glittering jewelry,
which our honest 'Squfre believed to
be real and of great trice "and it
must be of this color," tlolding up the
sample, "and one yard long."
M. Dupignac critically surveved
the lock, with his bead, first on one
side and then on tbe otcer.
It is a color truly ravishing,"
said be. But nevertheless I flatter
myself that I can match it."
nd he briskly opened a drawer
full of long switches, deatly packed
a narrow paste board! boxes, and
odorous of camphor, and whisked oct
a mass of pale rippling gold, which
be held up to the sunlight with Pol
ly's lock laid against it.'
"Nature itself I" cried M. I'upig-
nac, tbeatricaliy.
"No yoo dod't !' safaS Ae' 'Souire,

'Comment?" demani
oped
M. Pu-

"Put up

'Monsieur would wish it a shade
lighter?!' queried the Frenchman.
"Or, perhaps, darker? Vraiment, it a
mere matter of taste."
"Monsieur don't want any of that
sbeared-ofT trash," said tbe 'Squire,
laconically.
M. Dupignac drew himself op
with Napoleonic dignitv. Monsieur
will, perhaps, allow me to insure
him' said he, "that there is no bet
ter stock than mine upon tbe con-ti-
nent."
"I'm not quite so green as to swal
low everything I bear, if I do " come
from tbe country," said tbe 'Squire
comDosedly, "Shut op the drawer, I
say. None of your second-handed
scarlet fever and small-pox for me
None of your dead people's clippings
out of tbe hospitals."
"But, Monsieur " gesticulated
the Frenchman.
"I tell you," roared 'Squire Pos
tletb waite," waxing noisy as he be
came more in earnest, "I wou't buy a
single solitary spear of hair unless I
know where it comes trom. I'll see
it cut myself, or I'll let it severely
alone "
M. Dupignac'e monuntary express
ion cf dismay and perplexity gave
away to an instantaneous illumina
tion of all tbe facial muscles.
"Br all means, by all means, if
Monsieur wishes it," cried he, fitting
tbe five fingers of one hand against
tbe Gve fingers of the other. "Mon
sieur shall be satisfied. I court pub
licity. I Laure!'' to one of the
extravagantly dressed shop girls
"Where, then, is tbe poor girl that
was here this morning wishing to
sell her hair tbe girl with lea cbev
eux d'or, the bead of real gold that
takes its burnish in tbe sunshine?
Does Bhe still wait, Laure?"
Mademoiselle Laure was not quite
certain as to that, but she had the
young person's address. Tbe young
person should be immediately sent
for.
"Let her be summoned at once,"
said M. Dupigutic with a wave of the
band, as if be was a monarch issuing
a royal mandate. "And," with a
secondary sweep of his arm toward
a velvet upholstered chair "if Mon
sieur will honor us by waiting but
a few second?, bis undeserved doubts
shall be set at rest."
"Seeing is believiog," said 'Squire
Postletbwaite, cavalierly. And he
sat down, softly whistling- "Bonnie
Dundee," and staring steadfastly out
of tbe window.
In about fifteen minutes there was
a little bustle of arrival in the next
room. M. Dupignac lifted a Not
tingham lace curtain which shielded
tbe glazed epper half of tbe door of
communication, and placing his fin
ger on bis lip with a truly French
gesture, pointed to a lovely blue
eyed girl, dres-ed in faded and shab
by garments, but with magnificent
pale yellow bair floating like a glorj
down over her shoulders.
"By Jove 1" ejaculated tbe 'Squire,
"that's a splendid head of hair I"
M. Dupignac shrugged his shoul
ders. "She offered to sell it to oa
this morning," said be j "but we
bad not then an opportunity to dis
pose of it. It ia to succor her needy
mother, poor lamb ! They are poor
but respectable."
"You know tbem, then?" ques
tioned tbe 'Squire.
"I know tbem well. Ah !" added
M. Dupignac, sentiment illy, "bow
one has pity for tbe pjor !"
"I'll boy it," promptly interrupted
'Squire Postleth waite. "There's no
danger of any scarlet ferer or Bmall-j
pox there. She's as fjreeb. as a roes
JUNE 19, 1S78
; and as dear as a p'nk. What will it
C03t?"
"Look at the thickness ! look at
the length of that chevelure !" cried
this ecstatic Frenchman. "It ia
cheap positively dirt cheap at fif
ty dollars. But to secure Monsieur's
custom "
"I'll take it," raid the 'Squire,
with alacrity.
M. Dupignac motioned to Made
moiselle Laure. Mademoiselle Laure
tapped a tiny silver call-bell, and a
white-aproned man in tbe next room,
who looked like a barber in disguise,
went ruthleisly to work shearing
away tbe long yellow locks. As one
by oue he dropped them into a flat
willow basket at bia Bide, tbe girl
put her pocket-handkerchief to her
eyes and visibly sobbed.
"Poor girl! poor child!" said
'Squire Pcsilethwaite, feeling an on
comfortable sensation of tightness in
the region of his heart. "It's a
shame but then, if she's compelled
to part with it, I may as well buy it
aa any one else. Here, you, Mon
sieur, just give her thia ten-dollar
bill over and above the bargain. I
can't endure to see a pretty girl cry
never could." Which, if the read
er pauses to reflect, made Mrs. Poa-
tlethwaite'a switch come verv dear.
However, the 'Squire trudged off,
with tbe yellow treasure neatly pack
ed in one of the long pasteboard box-
ea. ior be sat ana waited for it to
be woven into a stem, sooner than be
n any wise deceived bv an article
that wai not the genuine one.
"At all events," chuckled the
'Squire to himself, "I've out-gener-aled
tbe New Yorkers thia time. I've
proved to 'em that I'm not to be put
off with the trimming cf their hospit
als, nor any of tbeir trashy imported
stuff, brimful of ship fever and infec
tion. To be sure it baa cost a good
deal, but I don't believe Polly will
grudge the price when bhe hears all
about it.''
This was Squire Postlethwaite's
last day in tbe great metropolis, and
toward afternoon he completed his
various errands to bis entire satis
faction, and started off down Cort
land street on a brisk walk to take
tbe 4 o'clock train, whicb would land
bim within a few miles of his beloved
peacb farm, wben, ail of a sudden,
emerging from a narrow side street,
whom should he meet but the golden
baired damsel who cried so meltingly
at having her treasea cut away that
self-same morning in the Centennial
Hair Kmporium ! And at the same
moment, with a little bob of courtesy,
tbe golden-haired damsel proved to
bim that tbe recognition waa mutual.
"It ia !'' cried tbe 'Squire, dropping
two or three bundles in bis bewilder
ment. No, it isn't! Yes, it ia.
For tbe face and eyea and pretty
little childish dimples on cheeks and
cbin were tbe vatiie ; bat, lo and be
hold! a luxuriant braid of aureate
hair was coiled around and around
tbe bead under the natty liule felt
hay with its bluebird's wing.
"I'm much obliged fortbe$10, sir,"
said the little girl. "Gentlemen isn't
generally so liberal."
'Ob, dear, sir, it wasn t my hair

unless you get close. I wouldn't
have told on bim, neither," with a
little toss of tbe head, "if it hadn't
been for bia wanting to crib all tbe
extra f 10 for himself."
'Squire Postletbwaite drew a long
brea'.b. He began to be painfully
conscious that be bad not outgener
aled the city people so completely aa
be imagined, after all. Should he go
back? he asked himself, to M. Du
pignac's Centennial Hair Kmporium,
and punch tbe bead of that distin
guished foreigner? or should be re
port the whole matter at the police
headquarters : or perhaps best and
most sensible course of all should
he take tbe originally purposed 4
o'clock train, go back to the Jersey
peach farm, and keep Lis own counsel
forever and a day ?
'Squire Postletbwaite decided in
favor of tbe latter proposition. He
went borne with bis golden switch in
his box, gave it to Polly with a kiss,
and never told ber of his adventure.
And to thia day she doesn't know
how much it cost. "Where ignorance

The Tree Peddler.
An agricultural exchange "goes
for" the tree peddler in the following
terms : There is no greater humbug
Dracticed unon the credulity of the
people thai tbe offering of new fruUs
by tree agents and nurserymen, as
the laat thing that waa ever discov
ered or planted. Nineteen out of
every twenty of all these new fruits
are generally- worthless. Oae tu
8f rvman has an apple that ia superi
or to all other, another a pear tree
that co one can do without, free from
bligbt and an immense bearer and the'
fruit of the finest quality. Another
has a currant, a strawberry or a rasp
berry, all entirely indispensable to the
unsuspecting farmer. And still
ethers have grapes that ripea early,
are very large, delicious and just the
thing to supplant all others for all
pnrpoea. Oae has a cherry tree
that will take tbi place of t'.e Early
Richmond and tbe Eoglish Morelio.
All these will do well, acco-ding to
the opiniona of tbe several ownera of
tbe bumbtig, in ny ana an cnmaiea,
like the patent medicine warranted to
cure any and all diseases. One man,
whose almost exclusive Btoca oi ev
ergreens ia the European larch, re
commends its planting without limit.
Another has supplied bim abundant
ly witn the Utah hybrid cherry,
which is really not a cherry at all
but a verv inferior small plum that
evervbodv must have. Our com
mon wild pluma are transplanted
and nursed, and a larger stock is
propagated some significant name
given tbem, and they are then herald-
to the world aa indispensable, nigb
quality, large size, curculio proof,
and indeed possessed with more good
oualities than anv and all other
pluma combined. The result of all
tbia ia, the farmers pay out thousands
of dollara every year for stock that
ia not onlv worthless and known to
be worthless by the vendera, but im
portant time ia lost in waiting for
tbe results that are so boastingly
promised, and only, after several
years' waiting to find bow tbey have
been swindled.

One night a short time since an
immense flock of birda passed over
Sbarpsville, Mercercounty. In their
course they flew over the Douglas
furnaces, and commenced dropping
by tbe hundreds, until there waa a
perfect shower cf tbem. It ia sup
posed they became bewildered, and
dying too near tbe furnaces were
suffocated by tbe gas and smoke.
A great many of them were badly
burned, and the stench becoming so
great, that tbey were gathered up and
thrown into the furnaces. Tbe next
morning dead birda were found ly
ing all about the vicinity of the fur
Daces, and a number of persona col
lected them by the basketful, for the
purpose of having tbem stuffed, and
taxidermists were in demand. Tbe
singular part of tbe affair is tbat the
birda were of different species em
bracing bluebirds, redbirds, wood
cocks, yellowbirda, wild docks, and
a number of varieties many of tbem
having beautiful plumage. How
such a 'collection migraled together

The State Convention to whicb

Thia resolution was especially
cheered by tbe whole Convention,
and all were endorsed by tbe paper
which Dill managed.
These declarations tended, directly,
to the rebellious spirit among the
s!aveocracy,and to give "aid and com
fort to tbe enemy." - It waa epen the

New Orleans, June 1. A special

returning to hia home from Major
Barton's about ID p. m. he was fired
at by six ceiroea, who were lying
in tbe bushes wailing for htm. Five
of the negroea had double-barreled
gun?, and one a musket. Dr. Archer
waa on horseback, and riding on
tcp of the levee. Tbe assassina were
concealed behind two very large
cottonwood trees, standing within a
few feet cf tbe levee, and all of the
negroes fired as he was passing these
trers, Lis clothes being riddled with
bullet bolts. lie waa thrown from
bia horse, but fortunately net much
ipjured.
Tbe assassina took to their heels,
going in diferent directions, but it waa
ascertained who the pirtiea were,
and on TueMlar morning a large
number of citizens collected together
at Kaccouric. where tbe act waa com
mitted. A jury of twelre citizens,
most cf them old gray-headed men,
was chosen, who after a lengthy and
thorough examination, found the pris
oners, five in number, one having
made bia escape, guilty of shooting
at Dr. W. B. Archer with intent to
kill. MaDy witnesses were examin
ed, all colored, and two of the pris
oners were allowed to make their
statements, having requested permis
sion to do so. They said the inteu
ded to kill Dr. Archer on Sunday
night, and after making away with
him they were to kill Mr. O. Ley
enne, Mr. Wm. I'icuoet and Frauk
