So tbe door opened and Little Nan, song and dance artiste, appear ed on the threshold. .5 r ! ;: . Her thick red bair was twisted in a tight knot on the top of her head, a row of curl papers fringed her -bra-head, little dabs of powder were left on her cheeks, her calico Mother Hubbard was laded and there was a long rent in the Bkirt She- came timidly into theToom and laid a large white envfclbpe"dowaotf the table. . . . "It's fur you,n she said, quickly turning away. "I heard you tellin' Mrs. Spratt twas your birthday." Then the door closed upon little Nan. , .' ; Miss Morrin laid down Emerson and took up the attractive white en velope. It contained a birthday card. . a very pretty card. On one side were a landscape and a solitary j bud on the brancn of a tree, and on the other were printed the following verses: . - . : , ' - . , -; ... , There's gloom withouW bnt there's cheer - within, ' : . - . - - Rolicking shoot and rattling din. i ' ; .; .

"A lonely, scafr'd" old bird like me !" repeated Miss Morrin to' her self. "Yes I am getting to be an old bird. I am to-day and James is 2$. We are both growing old and are. no nearer being married than we were ten years ago. . twenty-fife is rather late in life to enter upon a long engagement , . But I would rather wait on James than marry a millionaire. Dear James 1 He thinks it is bis duty to stay in Maine and preach to those, poor, uneducated people when he might be pastor of a rich church . with a salary large enough to support us aiL Of course it is his hret duty to care for bis mother andeister. Unfortunately I am poor too. 1 wish 1 . had a few hundred dollars to buy a claim or grub stake of some poor prospector. if I was a man 1 wuuld take a pick and go upon the mourjladttanddia; but deing a woman all I can do is to wait. I wonder what made that child give me this card. I never spoke to her until this - morning. They say she dances at the theatre," and with a shudder at tbe thought Miss Morrin went on reading Emer son. ' , '' -' -" ' ' Down stairs in tbe office of the office of the Grand Hotel old Billy was smoking his pipe. He wore long boots that came to his . knees, corduroy pants, and a flannel shirt. His broad brimmed felt hat was tip ped over his eyes. ' He had tilted his armchair against tbe wall and thru?t his hands into his pockets. . 4 a a-, it a 1 - "it s ner Dirtnaay ana i gave ner a card, Litue jan was say mg, 'She said cood" mornlriictir l met her on the 'stairs' Hain't Erie1 sweet.

"By ginger exclaimed old Bil1yv "You've went and done it this time." Then he chuckled. "Didn't you know she was an old maid a regu lar. Yankee echoolma'am ? ' V hy didn't you pick out a nice piece 'bout young love and forget-me-dont's, and all that kind o' things." " ' , ' "It was" a mighty pretty card and dirt cheap," answered little Nan dis consolately. "She wouldn't think I was pokinjun at herjwould she ?" looking-119 anxipusJy, . ... , "Reckon not,'' said old Billy, "you wouldn't find it out if she did. - She is an up and down lady. This ere camp no place for her. There hain't another one of - ner kind to keep her company. Ought to send fur her sisterr cousin,or sometbin'. Don't tee what brung her way out here to keep school.", . Little Nan gaxed in the fire with her large blue eyes. - ..rj . "She hain't like us,", she-, said slowly.: "tone hain't a bit like us." i The school children ; were trouble soote the next day. j Miss Morrin tried ooaxing, then scolding, and fin ally was strongly tempted, to .resort to cxirpenhl- ptmsihuat But she was slight and frail, and thei-wre-j some large beys m the school. Uq her way home at noon she decided she was still far from being fit ' for a minister wife.' There were tetters from Maine on her table. Old Mrs. Jones had died af last she was 93 cd tilers bad been a church so ciable. ' Sister Mary bad saved enough erg money to bay herself a black CaUrLraere dress.

Am she left the room old Billy put hie band on Miss Horn, s arm. Jf or A moment he was quite himself. - "Please git me a pencil and' bit of paper, Quick l he said eagerly. ' Silently Miss Morrin rose and crossedthe hall to her room. When she returned she handed a sheet of tinted note paper and a long Faber pencil to the sick man, , : With au effort old Billy raised his head and Miss Morrin piled up the dirty pillows behind him. He wrote a few lines feebly ; then the pencil dropped from his hand. He thrust the bit of DADer under the vile ot pillows and drew the patchwork quite well around his shoulders. Still he shivered slightly. "I'm so cold ; knd tired,1! he murmured. Then a swet peace seemed to steal over his face. - His-eyes closed and he fell gently asleep. But he never woke again in this world. The day of tbe funeral Little Nan came to Miss Morrin a room with a basket of bright ilowers on her arm. Will you please help me to fax the flowers 2" she asked while, the tears came to her eyes. "I want, to make a wreath tor old Billy. "Sit down," said Miss Morrin, kindly, and drew a rocking chair to ward the fire. Then she turned to her trunk, and, after some search, came back to her visitor with a roll of fine wire in her hand. Tenderly she lifted the flowers. ' There were redrhS8, und pchk sahd scArlet ger aniums, and a few sprigs of green. ; "Old Billy liked bright flowers," said little Nan. --"He used to throw 'em at me often." .'; t n "What do you do at the theatre ?" asked Miss Morrin hesitatingly. ""I'm a song and dance artiste,'' answered Nan proudly. . "I. sing songs and dance." J - "Do do ladies attend ?" '"No, ma'am; only men." . ' Mi?s Morris shuddered. "And vou like to sing and dance before them ?" she said severely. "Not much ma'am ; I git awfully tired sometimes." - "Then, my child why not earn your living" some other way? It would be better to scrub floors all day long." . - ' But they wouldn't pay me noth ing." "What matter?' began Miss Mor rin virtuously. "But I send my money home, pretty near every dollar," said little Nan."- "There's six of 'em besides me. My mother's dead.- Father didn't git but half wages now. I've earn ed a heap the last two years, since I've been dancing. I'm tbe oldest one, I'm IS. There's two dead be tween me and Willie. He's 12. Jennie, she's 10 and the bady's 2. Jennie has an easier time than I faking care of em. They're up and out of the way now." - The wreath was finished . before the lady spoke again. - Wbo taught you to dance?" she said suddenly. : A rnan my tatner Knew, lienaa Iq rTioAfrat I tm a ot.r.lin' anoaea. ment at the Central. - Old Billy was awfully good to me. I never saw him before I came here,but he kind er took to me. He was ' poor, too. He had a claim up the mountain, but I guess he never struck it. He never' sold much ore, anyhow. Hain't that a beautiful wreath ? Bil ly would think it was stunnin'. - He alwayyliktd everything bright" " ' When the funefal was ' over and they had nil returned to the Grand Hotel, little Nan threw herself on her bed and cried piteously. The lady heard her sobbing, and, enter ing her room, tried to ' comfort her. Presently Nan sat up. : "I must dress.' It must be late," she said wearily. Her long hair fell around rrer, awl silently-Miss Clara Morrfotook a brush and began to smooth its bright strands. Then Nan put on her shawl and hood. "I'll git em to let me ting 'Under the Daisies,'" she said," suddenly. "Old Billy always liked it' He us ed to clap until I'd come out and sing it far him. Maybe hell hear it to-night" ' : ; " "Maybe he wily answered Miss Clara Norrin with tears in her eyes. "I'm sure he wilL" ' 1 ' Spring came. ! The snow that had lain for months on the mountains began to melt slowly and, prospec tors talked of grub stakes. Old Bil ly's claims had not . been disturbed since he died. None supposed them of any value. It was known that he was witawwi wif aw eMiiidren. One day tlweuaaWinAid of the Grand found a sheet of tinted paper behind the bed in the roera that had once been old Billy aV She was a rnr ca relet rirl and th naner bad 'at the few lines on the paper ud rir, .w-'jJ- yji--wfr'1'). ? -K-.J.t-..'.i T.

So oa hex way to rehearsal Xan stepped into Mr. Nickleson's office and Landed him the little sheet of uink linked Daier. ton but a moment to Uiscoer that he held . out Billy's last will and tear tament in his hand. "Did you read it?" he asked glanc ing keenly at little Nan. j ."I didnl have time to spell it out, ans wered IS an. "There s noth ing "bout me in it, is there ?" ' "He's left his claims to you," said the lawyer. "They . may not be worth much, but they are yours.- Ill find out about them and let you know." "Don. hurry yourself," called out Nan as she shut the door. "Dear old Billy I" she thought "He did all he could for me when he was livin' and then he went and left me them holes in the ground. Bet your life thev hain't worth a cent He ! never sold no ore from 'em. A week later when little Nan call ed again at Mr. Nicklesoa's office tbe lawyer made her his very best bow. "Take a chair," he said nervously. Then he cleared his throat "Nan Maloney," he began. "I have some I my say, " He darted into the adjoining room And returned with a glass of water. . "Drink this and then I have some thing to tell you." . "I have discovered," went on the lawyer "that ole Billy's claims are quite valuable; in fact he must have made a bie strike some time ago, but for some reason of his own he took out very little ore. Still be uncovered a very fine body of min eral. I have just had a good offer for it" How much ?" asked Nan short ly.

Statistics of the Union Soldiers Who Died During the Civil war. Twenty years"Bave" passed si nee the close of the civil war and now, at last, a careful official record of tbe number of deaths that occurred in i the Union army has been made. A little more than twelve months ago, on the. 2d of Jane, 1S4, General Drum directed Mr. J. W. Kirkley, an experienced statistician of the Adjutant General's office, to begin the compilation of this record, with the aid of ten clerks. A minute and exhaustive exploration of all attain able official documents has now produced a table of statistics which far surpasses in completeness any thing on the subject hitherto exist ing. . To state the grand result at the outset, the table show's a total of t. 853 deaths of commiseioned officers and 349,913 deaths of enlisted men,!:"rr""V:jTr:;i:":; Z making an aggregate of 359.406 death aiooDsr the Union forces. The period included in the record is, for I the regular troops, the interval be itween April 15, 1361, and August 1. 1 1665; tor a Dortion of the volunteers it is prolonged beyond the latter date until the muster out of each or ganization. It will be remembered that the troubles in Mexico and other causes occasioned the reten tion cjf seme volunteers in the ser vice after the downfall of the Con federacy. Indeed, as Mr. Kirkley notes, the last white volunteer or ganization was disbanded November IS, 1SC7, and the last colored regi ment December 20. 1SC7, while tee last officer of the volunteer general staff was not mustered out until July 1, 1SG0. . Yet careful as the examination of the records has been, one lack rend ers it still far from com plete. The death registers of some of the largest prisons at the South used tor the confinement of Union soldiers are missing. For the prison? nt Ameri cas, Atlanta, Augusta, Charleston, Lynchburg, Macon,Marietta, Mobile, Montgomery, Savannah, Shreven port and Tyler the registers have not been secured at all, and the im portance of these prisons is well known. Only partial records were had from the prisons at Catawba, Columbia, Florence, S. C. Miller and Salisbury. There have been ways it is true, of partly working up these deficiencies ; but on the other hand as quartermaster General Meigs, cited by Mr. Kirkly, has shown, in many Southern prisons three or four" corpses of Union prisoners w ere sometimes buried in the same trench and the number of graves only imperfectlv indicates the num ber of dad Even in this most im perfect record the number of Union soldiers known to have died in cap tivity was close upon thirty thous and in exact figures, 20,409. The late investigation, we may add, has increased by about one-sixth the recorJs of deaths among Uuion pris oners. Taking Mr. Kirkley 's tables, we derive from them the following gen eral results; Officers. Mea Axgragat. Killed or died of woonds sjoi 103.6TS Diadwtdliwia-y ... -,rS 20.T..1 KrowoeJ ..... 1 ' .

The official e,M U,tf M tables, as published from a manuscript copy in the Army and Nary Journal, further distribute all these classes of deaths among the Union troops by states, it being explained that tne phrase "other known causes" include deaths resulting from quarrels not amounting to murder, from being shot by sentries or by the provost guard and miscellaneous causes. Ibis aggresrate ot nearly juajjjw de,tb3 of Union soldiers must be supplemented by a like record of Confederate soldiers, in order to find the real number of victims to tbe war in both armies. Then the aval deaths must also be ascer tained and added. Manv a soldier and Bailor met a fate more dreaded than death in being crippied for life or made the prey of lingering dis ease contracted in the service. A Midnight Call.

Orator. , Demosthenes was not born an or ator. Ha struggled hard and fail ed many timet, he was homely, and he Btammered in his speech, but before he died they came nun dreds of miles to him to get him to open their county fairs and jerk the bird of freedom baldheaded oa the Fourth of Jalv. Demosthenes had a short breath, A hesitating speech, and hU man ners were very n--raceful. ' To rem edy his staa; u.iing he filled his mouth full of pebbles and howled his sentiment at the angry sea. Plutarch says that Demosthenes made a aismal failure of his first speech. This , did not discourage him. He finally became tbe slickest orator in that country, and it wns no uncommon thing lor him to till the r irst Church of Athens fulL I must now leave Demosthenes i : 4i i, r r. , a auta a a v ia r . a' a . aawu aw " aa.- - v man who wanted liberty or death. He preferred liberty, though. If he couldn't have liberty he wanted to die, but he was in no great rush about it When the tyrant asked him what kind of death he wanted, he said he would rather die of ex treme old age. He was willing to wait, he said. He didn't want to go unprepared, and it would take him eighty or ninety years to pre pare, bo that when . he was ushured into another world he wouldn't be ashamed of him?elf. When he started in he was gentle, mild, and qniet in his manner, but later on, carrying his audience with him, he became enthusiastic He thundered, he roared, he whooped, he howled, he sawed the air, he split the horizon with his clarion notes, tipped over the table, kicked the lamps out of the chandeliers, and smashsed the big bass viol over the chitf tiddler's head. Oh, Demosthenes was business when he got started. It will be a long time before we see another off hand speaker like Demosthenes, and I, for one, have pever been the same man since i learned of nis death. One hundred and ten years ago Patrick Henry said : "Sir, our chains are forged. Their clanking maybe heard on the plain of Boston. The war is inevitable, and let it come. I iepeat it sir. let it come!'' In the spring of lGO I used al most the same lanzuage. So did Horace Greelr. There were tour or j five of us who got our heads together 1 and decided that the war was inev- j itable, and consented to let it come j Then it came. Whenever there! is a large inevitable conflict floating' around waiting for permission to come, it devolves on the great states men and bald-headed literati of the nation to avoid all delay. It is the duty of the great orator to howl for war, and then hold some other man's coat while be fights. RiH Nye, ia the Aryii'tut. A Daring Act. The daring experiment of Paul Buy ton in Yew York harbor, in at tachinga bogus torpedo to the bow of the English warship Garnet re calls an event in the long ago, when General Jackson was President The old frigate Constitution, which has now been afloat for nearly a century, was at that time lying off the Brook lyn Navy-yard and used as a receiv ing ship. Familiarly known as "old Ironsides," the craft hd always i been a venerated object on- account of her having lowered the pride of "Old England in her wooden walls by capturing the Cyane and Levant in the war of 1S12, when under Com modore Stewart The Democratic and Whig politicians were waging a fierce bat tie for supremacy, and when the Navy Department had a rblock of wood carved to represent General Jackson placed on the prow of the old frigate as a figure head, there was A howl from the disgusted Whigs at the idea . of placing "Old Hickory" before the Constitution. One dark, rainy night an ardent Whig made his way, unseen and un heard to tiie offending figure head, and with a saw severed the head from the body. An accomplice waiting in a boat below, carried away the executioner aa well as the decapitated head, and it was broad daylight before the mutilation was discovered by the horrified officers of the frigate. Many years elapsed before tbe perpetrator of this daring act was discovered, and he went un whipped of justice. His name is Samuel W. Dewey, and he is living in Chicago.

Many of our older citizens will re member the Iraqusnt meQlroo that made ia the daily pretj X this cily about twenty years ago, of a lost Sl,tinote. As the subject elicited a goo J ti.al of aUtnliCil in Baltimore for CO years, a hL-tttfyof tiie ?3!Ti ran; not pro- enirWi-t-inp. About dutk on ths evening of the second day cf March, 1&&, a boy about 12 years of ag, eon of a re spectable lady named Rodgers,reid ing in the neighborhood, offered a bank note of tbe denomination of $1,0lO in payment for some grocer ies at the store of Mr. Josiah Cobb, who kept on Liberty street ueor Fayette, adjoining the Methodist Protestant Church. The clerk in the store asked the boy if he knew the amount of the note, and the latter replied that it was $10. The note was then turned over to Mr. Cobb, who asked the lad where he had ob tained it The boy replied that it belonzed to a colored woman,, who was then waiting for his return to his mother's millinery stoie, and that she wanted it changed mu to enable her to pay bis mother for a bonnet Mr. Cobb believing that there was some- tuieiake- or seme thing wrong about the note, retained the bill and told the boy to request his mother to come to the store and bring tho colored woman along with her. Mrs Rodger and the colored woman ta mulatto girl about 22 years of age) appeared in a short time. The colored woman displayed an utter ignorance of -the value of the note, and upon being further ques tioned as to how she come by it, told a number of contradictory sto nes, and finally left the store in high dudgeon. Mr, Cobb nor Mrs. llodgers never saw nor heard of her afterward. On the following day Mr. Cobb advertised in the daily Daoers "A note stonned." No one appeared; at the end of three months, he again advertised it giving the de nomination of the note. After the advertisement had continued for two months, the money was invested for the benefit af tbe owner. A suit was then entered by Mrs Rodgers against Mr. Cobb for the possession of the money under the belief that it being first offered her in payment of a debt involving a part thereof, she had a prior claim to whole amount The matter was finally compro mised bv the "parties agreeing that at the end of three years,-if no one came to claim the note, it should be handed over to the city autnonties, the latter agreeing to stand between them in all future suits that might arise should a claimant appear. In rebruary, l-Mi Mr. CDbo deposited the note in the city treasury with 30 40 interest i trust for the ben efit ot tne owner if he or she should ever be found. Efforts were made from time to time by various parties to get possession of the money, but without success. The note remained in possession of the City Register for 13 years; was claimed in 1855 by Mary Ridgely. au old colored woman about 7'J years of age. It was proven that she had no right to it, Mr. Cobb testifying positively that she was not the woman who had claimed it 17 yeara before. Wm S. Messery of Salem, Mara., put in a claim for the note on February 6, 1355, under, the , belief that it belonged to hita Lai he subsequently withdraw the claim. The matter was finally brought before the City Council, which body direeted the note to be deposited in the City treasury. In February,1366 several ladies having in view the or ganization of aa .asylum for the or phans of colored soldiers, And other helpless colored children, presented a petition to the City Council praying that the ?l,000-note with its accrual : interest, then amounting to near S3, l ), be appropriated for the . use of the new institution. The Institution thus contempla ted was not carried .into effect but . in its place the Union Asylum, for the support of the Federal soldiers from tbe State of Maryland, was es tablished, .and in October, 1566, the City Council appropriated to the use of this asylum the lost llW-note and the accrued interest, amounting to nearly 3,000. Thus the myster terious note was finally disposed of in the founding of a noble charity. Plant I'aed by Meat. It is stated that the number of plants used. by,jnjiv.AL the present time does not exceed 3,000. Of these about 2,400 are cultivated in Amer ica. The varieties used for food do not exceed 600. Of edible fruits and seeds there are 10O classed as vege tables, 100 as roots and bulbs, 50 varieties of grain, about 20 of which produce sugar and syrup. In addi tion to this, perhaps, 30 kinds will yie!doiland6 wine. The number of medicine supply plants is nearly double that of the fruit yielding, amounting to 1440-, about 350 of which are employed in the various branches of industry. Of the latter, 76 furnish dye stuff, 7 wax, 16 salt, and more than 40 supply food for cattle. There are no fewer than 250 kinds of poisonous plants cultiva ted, among which are only 6 of A narcotic sort the remainder being classed as deadly poisons. Goldea Gleam.
