Whatever yon hare to say, my friend,
Whether witty, or grave, or gey,
Condense as much as ever you can,
And say in the readiest way -,
And whether you write on rural alfilrs,
Or particularly things in the town,
Just a word of liiendly advice
Boll it down.
For If yon go splattering over a page
When a couple of lines would do.
Your butter la spread so much, yiu see.
That the bread looks plainly through.
So when yon have a story to tell.
And would like a little renown.
To make quite sure ot your wish, my friend,
Boil It down.
When wriUn; an article for the pros:,
Whether prose or verse, just try.
To utter your thoughts In the fewest words,
And let It be crisp and dry ;
And when it Is finished, and yon suppose
It is done exactly brown.
Just look it over again, and then
Uoil it down.
Fit editors do not like to print
An article latily lung.
And the general reader docs not care
For a oouple oi yards of song.
$o gather your wits in the smallest space
If you would win ihe author's crown
And every liiue you write, my frieud
lioU it down.

We are ail children of deetioy. Ou
a certain nigtii I stood iu front of a
tCeatre door, and hesitated for Suaie

leiue D'Albret. Alihourti the pinv

att'lience; one, an old eoltlier. etiff
and stately, with a gray aiuntacbe ,
the other, a yoontr girl, whose red

full j rentilved. I-eaviDg my place, I
weat wfcere tbev must ntceaeianlj

icauiug on the old soldier's arm. Tue

am do; & tbief, though, so fur,
appearauces art) against me. Toe
uex' dij I bu an advertisement ia
the paper relutiag to tbe lo, and the
finder wan promised a handsome re
gard ua applviug at .No 0 Montrose
Place.
I intended to be handsomely re
wart'ed 1 hastened to the touso
A French maid camu to the door, and
soon after tatting in ray card nhe
threw open the gining-room door, aad
addrts-ed tbe General:
"Moi sieur arrives concerning the
bracelet of Mademoiselle D'Aloret."
Madeleiue bat before the Cre em
broidering a wonderful piece of lace,
and tbe general wad near by with a
uewi-puper in his hand.
She looked up with a heightened
color and expec.ant face, and made
aa old fabbioned courtesy.
Tbe BtiETold general, rising, said :
Mademoiselle D'Albret is the more
nxijus to regain her bracelet, as it
tvas mu heirloom r'
Tbat is," faid ber musical voice,
"it was left me by my mother, who
u.-ed to wear it."
Ada matter ot form, I ob'.aine I a
description of the article, certainly
unique iu beauty and iu rarity.
Tbe general remarked, begging my
pardon at tbe same time, tDai be bad
brld the impression thai tbe finder
mast be an adroit thief, as Madeleine
did net re morn ber tbe bracelet blip
ping over ber band.
4,Sir," 1 said, "although I am the
lucky finder, 1 am mill placed in tbe
unpleasant predicament of being your
'adroit tbie!.' But 1 am fortunate in
tbat tbe accident has afforded ue the
ccaeion of meeting with General
D'Albert, of wbote valor I bavefceard
so much."
I then mentioced to him some sc
quaintances and friends who knew
both of os. I passed the bracelet in
to his bonds. My notice ot bis valor
gratified him, aud he insifed oa ay
nmaiiiiog to take a gla
of wite
with him. lie further said I must do
item the honor of calling sgain, and
te vrculd be proud to wait upon me at
my house
lie did wait upon me and I called
upon him, bat too ckeo without see
ing Madeleine.
Sometimes tbe pretty girl would
peep in an 1 vanish Tbe time pass
wd. I grew more intimate at the
bouse ; the lees shy. One day while
silting witb the general, I took tbe
opportunity of scanning tbe exquisite
ltce work, and, as I moved my hand
iih seeming carelessness, of setting
balf a dizen fetitcbes backward tbe
old geceral checked me by the re
mark :
"Yon will do a mischief!"
A day or two after, I called and
tO general being detained, Made
onjieelle D Albret herself received me
with a greeting peculiar to national
toctuality. She men resumed her
work in silence Presently I saw a
oscfry smile light ber countenance,
mod sbe said to me, light-heartedly:
"Why did yon make such mischief
ia'my work? Why enarl my thread,
pucker my net and spoil my rose ?"
"Perhaps because tbat, instead of
making jour escape tbis morning,
yoa might be obliged to stay and ask
n wby, Mademoiselle Madeleine,"
was my bol i answer.
A look of gravity Fettled opon ber
countenance.
"I must tell yoo, monsiear, that
yoa are not to toucb my work " Tben
alter a little silence, ia which ooe
biusb bad chased anotb-r across her
cbeek, she went ou in lower tone:
monsieur I sell it."
1 don't say tbe avowal did not give
me a shock. All to do now was not
to let ber see niy surprise.
"And re'.-eive fabulous stiros for it,
1 dare say, mademoiselle,'' was my
careless remark. "I have aliuleo us
ia at borne who sells fcer water color
drawiugs."
"Is jour small cousin, oioDsieur,

"I add to the wealth of my father,"
taid Madeleine, proudly. "We are
poor. Yoar small cooain lives at
home with you, you said ? She most
paint well, monsieur." '
"On, yes," I replied, finely. I
Have a portfolio of ber sketches,
which it would please me to show
yon." i
"Thanka, monsieur. : 1 da not csre
for such things." i
Wbat had put her eat ? Was it
the "email cousin?" 'I sapooee I
ought to have said that the mother,
an invalid, was with me, too; and
that both were soon going, through
the cousin's marriage, to another
home.
"I beg yoar pardon." the said. I
would uot seem ungracious. If you
will bring tbe sketches, my father
and I will be pleased to see them "

perpetually floated down, now and

on bis arm: a magnificent flower

wra biul little spirit, tbougb, tn: 11

Ea you verv sure that I seated my
small cousin quickly, and Dad Made
leine on my arm. We bad a divine.
waliz I felt her breath, her heart;
we swayed to the same music ; we
were in another world, and I am sure
I did not waut to Come back to this
one.
Suddenly, with an iaperioas move
ment, she stood still.
"Tnauks, monsieur! I will trouble
yoa no more "
Before I Lad time to recover my
bewildered vexation, Macelciue and
ber father were both gone.
When I next saw her, it was at
her own bouse. .Sue Uirely raised
ber eyes at ray entrance ; she did not
peak; sbe sat there drawing ber
needle in and out, a pattern of proprie
ty.
A score of these little scenes occur

One afternoon, at the conclasica of
a b: .ef conversation, the general wts
summoned to the door below. I
stood, looking from the window, whea
) all atooce beard Madeleine Binging
lofcerself, as if there were not anoth
er sool in the room.
It was an air from the opera we
bad beard together. I turned, and
approaching her embroidery frame,
said :
"Tell me, mademoiselle, what is it
I have done to offend you?"
Sbe looked up for a moment, in
tending to be dignified But soon
her lips purged up and quivered,
and tben came an odd peal of laugh
ter. "Tbe small cousin marries next
month," I whispered. ,
At last I determined to pat my
fate to the test. Oue day tbe areneral
bad gone out, and I came in. Sbe
greeted me witb an inclination of tbe
bead, a simple sentence, and then si
lence. 1 stood cp before her, and broke
forth :
"How long do you imagine I shall
pat up with tbis, Madeleine? Do you
suppose I csn live under a sky so va
riable ; tbis hour J uue the next Jan

She grew as white as she bad been
roy ; ber bead fell forward over the
embroidery frame ; I daubed i; aside
to take ber in my arms. She sobbed
out :
Foririve me 1 Oj, monsieur, for
give me ! I bad thought for so long
that it was Ale mall cousin.''
"But I told voo it was not. She
ratsrrits the busband of ber choice."

fifteen Tears After Appomattox.
To day is the fifteenth anniversary
of the ciosicir scene ia tne great ura
ma of the Rebellion. I a the latter
part of 18G the war had narrowed
itself down to the siege of Petersburg,
which Grant was conducting witb
consummate skill.
Lee's attempt to create a diversion
by invading Maryland and attacking
Washington tailed of success, Sheri
dan ultimately driving back the des
perate Rebel horde up the Valley of
tte Shenandoah. Sherman, in the
meanwhile, was gallan ily "marching
through Georgia," aod everywhere
tbrouirDout the South victory was
perching upon the baoners of tbe Un
ion hosts. Tbe siejje of Petersburg
ended with the battle of Five Forks,
in the beginning of April, ISOo, after
which detea; llichmond was evacuat
ed and Grant's hot chase of Lee ba
gua. Ou the of April, Lee, op
pressed by repeattd te verses aud
bopeless of victory, acceded to the
terms of capitulation offered by Gen
Gram and surrendered bis army to
that victorious chiettaio, thus prac
tically puttioff an end to hostilities.
The surrender of Johnston to Sher
man quickly followed ; soon Mobile
fell : directly afterward General Tay
lor delivered over his raggtd Texan
army aad the Secession monbter
was dead
Lee's surrender took place at Ap
pomattox Uonrt House, ctaerwise
known as Clover Hill, in Virginia
Tbe two great leaders met in a mod
est brick house ia the little Southern
town. Grant had come a distance of
thirty miles on horseback in the early
mo'nijg, and bis soiled campaign
clothe hung locsely oa his tired
frame. lie was ia undress oniform,
and did cot even wear a sword Lea
carried himself with dignity ia a fresh
suit of Confederate gray, wore all the
insignia of his exalted rank, aud at
his side trailed tbe splendid aress
word cf which he was so proud
The contrast between tbe two great
chieftains was marked in stilt aaoih
er way. Grant was modest, syoip-
tbetie and kind. Though undeniably
the master of the situation, be yec
bore himself with such simple and
natural unobtrnsivecess that bis proud
foe waa almost mada to feel that he
himself bad named the term? of bis
humiliauoa and secured for bis ua
happy followers the generous treat
ment they received. Lee, oa tbe
contrary, though exceedingly polite,
was haughty and reserved, as if he
would exa.-t homage even from his
conqueror. Grant, ia the moment oi
his greatest triumph, sunk ihe soldier
ia the maa ; while Lee seemingly re
membered only that he was a mighty
bat unfortunate chief-.atn, and deport
ed himsvif with the coldest aud strict
est mili'ary decorum throughout the
hlforic scene. '-
Fift'.en eventful years have come
and gone since the brave Boys in
Blue huzzaed as tbe great structure
of tbe Confederacy crumbled to raias,
and since, their mission accoraplisbed
and their decimated ranks disbanded,
they turned their glad faces home
ward, happy ia the prospect of soou
resuming the even tenor of a peaceful
life. A generation has paa-ed away
since tbe Rebels opened their mad
fire cn Fort Sumter, the boom of
whose fratricidal cannon startled the
world and reverberated ia tbaader
tones throughout the Soutb for four
long years Tbe ages of most of the
recruits who answered Lincoln's first
call for troops ranged from six'.een to
twenty-four. They maiured unnatu
rally during the eout-tryiDg scenes
which followed, and thousauds of
soldier-boys who should be ia the;r
prime to-day bave seemingly passed
tbe lime mark which separates youth
from middle life, while many have
began tbe physical descent wbicn
shocli be traveltdoniy by those
whose sua is setting and who in
years are rapidly approaching tbe al
lotted span. Grizzly beards are tbe
rale among the veterans who come
together at tbe annajl reaaioa?, aud
tbe master-roll is fast decreasing No
better illustration of tbe tl:gbiof time
can be given than a reference to tee
expansion of new-bora babs into
stalwart mon during tbe years which
have eicspsed siace the war began
A new generation has come opon ibe
s. age of life, and ere long tbe active
participators ia the civil conflict w:ii
be regarded as relics, to be show n c!I
and admired on such anniversary oc
casions as the one which was ia many
places duly celebrated to-day.
Tbe years have indeed chased one
another swiftly iotoeteroity, but the
bave not borne tbe fruits which j
should have ripened since Secession
was overthrown.
Of late the question ta many
times been asked, "Was ihe war a
failure?" and if the query be under
stood to itclude these other interrog
atiocB were the Rebels coerced iato
submiseio to the General Govern
ment? Were the grest principles se
cured to posterity for tbe establish
ment t f whkh the flower of ooryoath
fought, bled ar.d died, and millions of
treasure were spent ? then a posi
tive affirmative answer may be given
fo' recent events have cleariv proven
that though tbe South may have been
cocq'iered it was not subdued.
A few figures, extracted from aa
o a report ot the rrovost-Marsbal-General,
will serve to show at what
fearful cost in live9 tbe questionable
victory was secured.
On the 1st. cf May, 1S05, tbe
strength ot tbe national army was
1.000 516. At this ti:ne the number
of men enrolled for military duty, but
not called out, was I,2o4,0o3 Tbe
whole number of men eaded for by
Government was 2,759 043; the whole
number furnished, 2 CC6.999. inclu
sive of re-enlistmeotsi equivalent to
2 135 000 for three yeara.
The soldier-boys went furth from
nearly every borne in the land, leav
ing behind tbem friends and kiadred,
wives and sweethearts Tbe war
progressed, and thousands of homes
were desolated ; and of tbe brave,
strong, manly roeo wbo engaged in
the conflict, 280.733 offered up their
lives as a sacrifice on the altar of the
Unioa cause, and, inclad those
who were starved or died from dis

the soldiers who stiil lire bear the

the seeds of a disease which is slow

dead come bark to earth to-day, with
what righteous indignation would
they regard tbe influence over tbe
Republic cf the old Reb 1 spirit, and
the deferential attitu ie toward their
insolent leaders, cf a great political
party !
Tbe party which carried on the
war has not been foriretful either cf
the principles which it endeavored to
establish or of the brave men who
fought in battles. While remaining
steadfast to its primal doctrines, and
fighting unceasingly for univeral lib
erty and National supremacy, it bas
yet found lime to cre for ice coun

An old Boston merchant rtceLtly
remarked :
"I've stood here oa State street for
forty years, and I bave seen men
accumulate fortunes by speculation,
and I've 82ea these fortunes disappear.
1 bave seen men go up ia worldly
wealth, and go down, and I've al
ways noticed tbat those persons who
were content with Blow gains and 6
per cent, interest came out ahead in
tbe long run."
Tbe result of the old merchant's
observations is abundantly confirmed!
by tbe history of tile trade and finance
of every commercial city cf the world.
Strict adherence to honorable and
legitimate methods of business
sometimes slow, but always sure is
the secret of the solidity attained by
almost every maa of wealth wbo ban

Kalis ! Order.
General Haggles' plan for makia
rain to order by exploding dynamite
ia balloons recalls the scheme propos
ed by Professor Espy, some years
ago, for producing rainovertbe whole
country at occe. It is a well-known
fact that la ge conflagrations tend to
i-auio rain by sending warm, moist
air into the uppe regions of the at
mosphere, where the vapor condenses
and descends again in showers. As
rain storms in the United States have
a general motion to the eastward.
Professor Espyjjsuggested that once a
week, ia the summer time, a line of
fires extending 500 to 0t miles in
a norib and soutb direction, should
b stnrteii in thn fur H'Ht Thtit he)
calculated, would produce a belt of
ram that would sweepsidewaysacross
the coantry, lasting only two or three
hours in aoy place, aud final! y passing
tbe Ailautio seaboard lo carry grare
ful showers and welcome breezes to
becalmed and sua warpnd vessels

with these schemes Lr improvement
i?, that tbo rain bureau would never
be able to satisfy ail the people to be
rained on Oue farmer might want
a shower to revive bis parching crops,
soother would wish fair weetber ia

are unruly, and a good smart shower,
Ur?ed f r the benefit of New Jer
sey agriculture, might easily escape
across the North River and pounce
uoon the unsuspecting sbopoers and

whole, it would seem to be wiser to
let nature continue to regulate tbe
rata rather tbaa turn that duty over
to General Raggles of Virginia or
