THERE, YET HERE.
Ia.it April nhe was with me, who, to-day,
Is somewhere in the far-off world of (tod.
Far off. saiil I ? She is not far away
When Heaven and earth are sundered by
sod.
Here is the siot where, in the rain-wet moss,
I found the first shy blossom oftlie spring ;
I ee, again, a sun-shaft strike across
The Mower's heart, and hear a robin sing.
And then I see her face, so fair, so sweet !
So full of tender thoughts, and oh, so true!
And with that April's joy my pulsea lieat
To-day, my darling, as I think of you,
" Xo flower so sweH as violets,"' you wil,
And took the blossom, smiling dreamily,
" Because they always lieur, alive or dead,
This message born of love: " I think of thee."'
Here on this knoll we sat awhile to see
The amber sunshine fade to rosy light ;
And heard the hum of some belated bee
In hiveward-farin), rollcn-Iadcn flight.
" The heart's a rover, like the bee," yon said,
"It bunts for sweets in every flower that
blows ; -
Some come too lata, and find the flower is
dead ;
For sonic the stubborn flower will not unclose
" And yield its treasure to thecluiu'rous boe,
Hold, saucy privateer of summer days ;
Hut my heart's flower liasyicldcd all to thee,"
You whispered, smiling softly, and the haze
Of twilight seemed to vanish from your fuce;
So sudden sunshine makes dnrk skim grow
bright,
And love's light, shining onward, filled the
place
With radiaiH lingering far into the night.
Aguiu in dreams your loving baud I hold :
Again ujsin my cheek I feel your breath.
O grave, dear grave, yet not one summer old,
tiive back the dead ! Be mercif'il, O Death !
In vain I plead. The grave's door shuts for
aye
On those who cro ita threshold. Still to
n if
It seems licr presence haunts the plat to
day.
I cannot comprehend the mystery.
Though over her the April violet blows,
She is beside me : I can touch her baud ;
I see her face if I one moment close
My eyes. Dear heart, you know, yuit under
stand !
Though I have lost you. you with me remain.
The grave's sod bides you, but I have you
yet.
I wait for Heaven to make the mystery plain
And only know you never will forget !
Ettrn E. Reifinrd, in Vurrtnt.
AUNT VERSUS UNCLE.
" Twelve o'clock, t liT said Uuncle Joe,
ustening meditatively to the strokes of
the big clock in the conic . "Midnight
yen, actually midnight, and William
not home yet. Well, it's amaiir.g how
young folks will keep it up when they're
a-courtin' ! I never was in the btwiness
mvat'lf, but I've always heard talk that
it was a pretty alworbin' sort o-' thing."
And he roue in a stiff, rheumatic sort of
way to throw a new logon the fire, which
had burned down to a maw of glowing
embers.
" It's a snowiuy J Uncle Joe, glanc
ing through the tiny panes of the north
window, already banked up on the out
side with ennine-wbite drifts. "Like
wise a-Llowin". More than that, it's cold
er than the North Pole, for the water jw.il
friz in the back kitchen before nine
o'clock, and the big cedar tree keeps
creakin' as it never does except w hen
the thermometer runs down pretty nigh
to zero. I don't know w hat would lure
me to go out on a night like this but
Will makes nothing of train pin four miles
to Pratt's Corner's to see the girl that he's
goin' to marry next week. Well, well
young folks will be young folks, I s'pose,
and there's no makin' nothin' else outen,
'em ! I'm glad I kept the coffee pot hot.
He won't be none the worse for a drink
o' good, warm coffee and the potatoes
are roatited to a T."
iso speaking, Uncle Joe uncovered the
ashy nest wherein reposed three or four
uioriHtrous "early trine " potatoes in wrin
kled jackets, and nodded his head toward
a cold ham bone on the table, w here a
plate and knife and fork were laid, as if
ready for some expected guest.
And presently the guest arrived Will
Harrow himself, his head and shoulders
powdered with snow, his nose blue with
cold, his eyes sparkling like a first-class
pair ot well-watched diamonds. .
" I'm !- rry to keep you up so late, Un
cle Joe," he said, cheerily. "Why on
earth didn't you go to lied?"
" Well, I eouldnt somehow reconcile
myself to the idea of lea v in' things," said
Uncle Joe. " Here's some coffee, Will.
And some roasted jsitatoes that can't be
l-at ! Sit down and eat a bit'
" You are always so thoughtful of uie,
Uncle Joe," said Will Harrow, rlinginofl
his snow-sprinkled coat.
" You're all I've got to be thoughful
of," said the old man, stroking his chin.
" I've sort o' had you on my mind, Will,
ever since you was a baby. And I tell
you, it comes powerfully hard on me to
give you up to a wife now !"
" You are jealous, eh V said Will, with
a laugh.
" A little bit, William," nodded Uncle
Joe, scattering salt in the mealy heart of
his potato. "I ain't a-denyin' of it It's
human nature to get married, I know
but for all that I feel as if I was givin'
away my boy to some one else!"
"You and she will get .along splendid,
ly," said Will, " I ant very sure of
that!"
"Like enough," observed Uncle Joe,
" like enough. I hain't never heard noth
ing but good of Fanny Wallis ! And she's
got a face like a posy !"
" But that isn't the worst of it, Uncle
Joe," said Will Harrow, with rather a
eonsrience-stricken look at the nigged old
face that confronted him on Uie other side
of the table, "Fanny's Aunt is to live
with us!"
" Eh r said Uncle Joe, dropping his
knife and fork, " Fanny's aunt! Herer
" I don't know where else she is to
live," said Will. " A home has got to be
made for her somewhere."
"Is she a widder?" demanded Uncle
Joe, in a sepulchral whisper.
"No, a single lady."
" Phew !" whistled Uncle Joe. " An
old maid ! As full of cantankerousness,
no doubt, as an egg is of meat Where on
earth do ye s'pose there's room enough
for her in this house T
"Well," suggested Will, "there's the
little end room in the wing, looking out
on Cassadee river. There's a fire place
in it, and a good sized closet for her
gowns and tilings, and "
"William!" said Uncle Joe, rising to
Son

give additional emphasis to his remark,
"Don't!"
I " Don't wliat, Uncle Joe ?"
"Don't let the creetur in! She'll be
worse than any mother-in-law !" solemn
ly pronounced Uncle Joe!
"Jest make a stand at the very begin.
ning, and tell Fanny you ain't going to
marry the whole family ! take my ad
vice now, my boy, or you'll regret it all
your life r
Toor Will moved very uneasily in his
chair.
" I can't do that, Uncle Joe," said he.
" I've promised Fan. She makes such a
point of it, don't you see? And Miss Ked
gitt is really a very nice person ! You'll
say that, I'm sure, when "
But Uncle Joe remained to hear no
more. He took up a candle and stalked
off to bed without even slaying to cover
the fire a thing which had not happen
ed in all the three-and-twenty years
in which he had lived in the farm
house.
Poor Will! How was Uncle Joe to know
how manfully he, Will, had fought the
battles of his ancient retainer that very
night ? For Fanny Wallis, dearly as she
loved the young man to whom she was
so soon to be married, had stoutly coni-
batted the idea of Uncle Joe.
" Why don't he go away and get a home
of hisown?" pouted Fanny. " What bus-int-Hs
has he interfering and bothering
with oar concerns?"
. " Bat, my own darling," protested Will,
he has lieen a father to me."
But you don't want a father now that
you're going to have a wife," urged Fan
ny. " We shall be so snug and comforta
ble then, with Aunt Kexlgitt to help us."
He has always managed the farm
while I attended to my trade," pleaded
Will, feeling as if the solid earth were
giving way under his feet
But Aunt Kedgitt is the best econo
mist in the world, persisted Fanny, "and
I can't get along without Aunt Kedgitt.
And she can't bear having men about
the place."
Will groaned a deep and hollow groan.
What was he to do? And when he reach
ed his home, there w as Uncle Joe to be
buttled with good, kind Uncle Joe, who
had always been so near and dear to
him.
The next day Uncle Joe's face at the
breakfast bible was more deeply lined
than ever.
"Well," said he, "is this at settled
thing? Ain't there no escapin' that can
tankerous old maid?"
" I don't see any way out of it, Uncle
Joe," sighed the bridegroom-expectant.
" That settles it," said Uncle Joe, pour
ing his coffee down his throat in scalding
draughts. " I'll pack up my traps and go
out to Michigan, where sister Ann Eliza
lives."
" And leave me, Uncle Joe?"
The old man shook his head.
"You'll have a wife and an aunt-in-
law," said he. " I calculate that'senough
for you."
And to this derision he steadfastly
clung.
Meanwhile, at Fanny Wallis' boarding
place, Aunt Kedgitt was also la ving dow n
the law.
"I can't stand no shiftless old folks
loafing about the place," said she. " I've
seen enough of 'em at your Grandfather
Wallis', where they had three of them
all the same as an . old peoples' ref-
uge.
" But, dear Aunt Kedgitt," almost wept
Fanny, " how can I ever get along w ith
out you T
Oh, IU stay, then, until you get back
from your wedding trip," said Miss Kedg
itt, resignedly. " I guess 1 can get along
with him as long as that!"
The grim air with which the two op-
K.dte relatives regarded each other across
the table whereon was spread the wed
ding breakfast was something fearful to
behold. Fanny felt it in the midst of
her happiness and Will Harrow groan
ed in spirit.
" Why can't that old man take himself
somewhere else?" thought Fanny.
" What possessed that old woman to
come and take possession of my house?"
muse 1 Will.
It poisoned all their first happiness,
that dreadful recollection of Mr. Parish
and Miss Kedgitt waging single combat
in the old house at home, while they
were absent.
" Aunt Kedgitt will ne-er consent to
be second in authority to an old fossil
like that," thought Fanny. :
" Uncle Joe won't stand any of the wo
man's nonsense." said Will, gloomily, to
himself. "I only hope there'll be no
bloodshed in our absence." '
And each looked a little fearful at the
other on that bright February afternoon
when the cutter sleigh brought them
back from the depot
A cheerful fire burned in the sitting
room the table vii' spread with dainty
fare. Aunt Kedgitt camespiling forward
in her best black silk gown, with fresh li
lac ribbons in her cap. Uncle Joe, With
new ly blacked boob and astifly-starched
"store-shirt" on, stood in the background
as radiant as the pioture of the rising
sun on the face of the clock behind
him.
"We are back all safe, Aunt Kedgitt,"
said Mrs. Harrow, a little hysterically.
" Waal, Fanny, me and your aunt ain't
sorry," interposed Mr. Parish, by way of
answ er. " You've had your turn weddin'
trippin', and now we want ours! Don't
we, Eliza r
" What!" cried Fanny, while Will
dropped the biggest traveling bag in his
amazement.
"We were married last Wednesday
that's all !" said uncle Joe. " Wasn't we,
Eliza. ' " '
" Don't be foolish, Joe," said his bride,
with a girlish giggle.
" There never was such a woman as Eli
za," said Mr. Parish, proudly.
"Nor such a man as Joseph," said
Mrs. Parish, with an air of deep con
viction. The middle aged couple started on their
honeymoon trip the next day and Will
and Fanny had no more trouble on the
score of their relations.
" But w asn't it strange," said Fanny to
Will
"Nothing is strange where Cupid is
concerned, my. dear," said Will to his
wife. . ..-

PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 1887.
A Fault Finder.
All husbands find fault with their
meals. I know this to be true, because
Mr. Bowser says so. I think it nothing
strange when Mr. Bowser sits down to
his dinuer and begins: .
' Humph ! some old corned beef!'
' Yes, my dear ; it's the same corned
beef you ordered as you went down this
morning.'
tn, u is! i dttin t know, but it was
some ordered a year ago 1 What do you
call these things ? "
" Potatoes, of course."-
" Potatoes, eh ! I'll try and remember
that name. And what's this?"
" Cabbage, my love."
" ! I didn't know but it is was wood-
pulp, my love! Was this bread made
since the war?"
"Certainly. It is only two days old.
"Humph! Buying some poor coffee
again, I see! Look at that! That stuff
looks as if it was dipped out of a mud
hole."
" But you ordered this very coffee your
self only night before last,"
He growls and eats, and eats and growls,
and I've got used to it It is only now
and then he proceetls to violence. The
other day he expressed his fondness fur
pumpkin pie, and I ordered the cook to
make two or three. We had one brought
on at supper, and as soon as Mr. Bow
ser saw it he sternly inquired :
" What do you call that performance
there? When was it born, and where is
it going to? "
"Mr, Bowser, vou said you wanted
some pumpkin pie."
"Yes."
vt en, nere it is, ana as goou a
one as you ever ate ; 1 made, it myself
from mother's favorite reoeipe."
Mrs. liowser, do you call that a pump
kin pie?"
"I do, sir."
" Then I want to be branded a fool !
What do you take me for, anyway?
Don't you suppose I was eating pumj
kin pies before you were born ? "

Don't they? Mrs. Bowser, you can

In two days I had a letter from his
mother, atlirming that were Was no up

my own mother over in the flesh as a fur
ther witness, but did Mr. Bowser do
but loudly exclaim :
" Bosh : You old women have forgot

about pudding and milk, you are. Of

He cost me a good girl last week by
one of his whims. I happened to won

put her bread to raise, when he prompt

Mrs. Bowser, do you know why the
bread raises ? "
Because of the yeast."
"But why does the yeast expand the
dough?"
" Because it does."
" Exactly. You also live because you
do, and that is all you know about it!
You ought to be ashamed of your ignor
ance of natural philosophy. Ill see if
the girl knows any better."
He went out and inquired :
"Jane, have you put the bread to
raise?"
"Yes, sir."
" Do you expect it to raise ? "
" Of course."
" Why don't you expect it to fall ?"
" Are you running this kitchen ?" she
sharply demanded.
Virtually, yes. My object is to see
how well you are posted on, natural phil
osophy. Why does the bread raise in
stead of fall ? "
" Because it's a AxjI, anil I'm another

And leave she did, and all the conso

" It's a good thing she left She might
have mixed something together which
would have caused our deaths. Come
now, hurry up the dinner."
Mr. Bowser has improved some in the

" Swamp, why, of course. It's the rich

" But how am I to get rid of the wa

" Yes, but then it will be on some

"That's all right; let him pump it off

you should never be bothered by what

Sheridan's Courtship.
Not long since at a dinner, given in
New York. General Sheridan related
an incidenfthat befell him while calling
on the young lady who is the present
Mrs. Sheridan.
' During the war General Sheridan was
too much occupied defending hiscountry
to fall in love. When the malady finally
overtook hirn in Chicago, after the war,
Sheridan hail jiassed what is generally
called the romantic stage and was settling
down into a well seasonud old bachelor
hood. Old bachelors make the most en
thusiastic of lovers, aud the General ad
mitted that he was no exeptiou to the
rule.
" It was a warm summer evening,"
Sherdian began, " and upon my arrival
at the house the young lady and myself
retired to the back parlor. The front
parlor opened into the hall, amd as the
night was warm, you know, we did not
think it necessary to light the gas in the
back room. Now this young lady's fath
er had a great fear of burglars. He had
burglar alarms all over the house, and
had recently put a new alarm on the
front door. AfUr a time the old gentle
man came down stairs, set his alarm on
the door, and seeing the dirolight in
the front parlor, supposed that I hail gone
and turned out the light in the hall. We
were busily engaged in talking you know,
and somehow did not hear him. Finally
when I got up to, leave the youug lady
accompanied me to tne door, w e were
surprised to find the light turned out,
and in fumbling around for the doorknob
I set off the burglar-alarm. It seemed
to me that I never knew a burglar-alarm
to work so well before. It sounded like
the explosion of a keg of dynamite. A
moment later the father of the young
lady apjeared at the head of the stairs
in his night-dress, holding a light in one
hand and a large pistol in the other. At
this apparition the young lady deserted
me and fled into the darkness. My
position was positively dangerous. I
suppose I had been in dangerous places
liefore without thinking of it but I con
fess lor the moment I trembled all over
with fear, and scarcely mustered np
voice enough to say " Don't shoot ; it's
me."
Fortunately he recognized my voice
and came down and let nie out.
"Now, you know, gentlemen," he con
cluded, " if the young lady had Htxil by
me there would have been no danger,
but she kidn't you know, and my posi
tion was rather aw kward before I was re-'
cognized. One might die on the field of
battle without regret, but I should hate
to be shot as a midnight marauder. I only
tell the story because it actual v took
place as I have said, and to show thut
there are times when w e may all lose our
courage."
Horses Shod with Gold.
In the year 1855 a storekeeper named
Donald Cameron, carrying on bibvincss
in what was known as the Woodshed,
Victoria, was elected first member of
Mirliament for the Ovens district and
te had the honor unique in the history
ofthecolony of being driven in triumph
from the Woodshed into Beech worth in
a gig tandem team, the leading horse of
which was shod with gold. Just before
the election an eccentric individual.
known as Tinker Brown, who had made
a lot of money ou the diggings, suddenly
purchased a circus, with tents, horses
and wagons complete, and coming into
Beechworth with the company, he offer
ed to drive the newly elected member
anil supply golden horseshoes for the oc
casion. The woods! ted bosses, who
were greatly elated over the result of the
election, warmly took np Brown's idea,
and they resolved, in addition, to present
their member with a diamond scarf pin.
The horseshoes were made by a working
jeweler named Tofield and weighed
nine ounces each. The team was driven
from Woodshed to ISeechworth and back
as far as La Serena Hill. On removing
the shoes, of the leader, a piebald circus
horse, they were found to have lost a
total of one and three-auarter ounces.
Before Tinker Brown died he willed
them to a married daughter keeping a
public house at Wagga Wagga. They
were in existence until about four years
ago, when the owner had them melted
and turned into sovereigns.
One Honest Man.
Among those in the east rooom was
Dr. Weiting, of Syracuse, X. Y. Ir.
Weiting owns the opera-house wherein
Cleveland was nominated for Governor.
The President shook the little doirtor's
hand quite cordially. There is a good
story told of Dr. Weiting. Some years
ago he was lecturing in New York, and
after he had lectured he was approached
by a young man who was an entire
stranger to him. The doctor was there
fore greatly surprised to hear him make
an extraordinary request. He had been
in the audience and heard the lecture,
and was captivated by the doctor's elo-
mence, and he made bold to speak to
uui. Ihe young man said he desired to
go to California and wanted money.
"Give me one thousand dollars" sidd
he to Dr. Weiting, "and I'll send you
one-half of every dollar I make in Cali
fornia."
The doctor was so surprised at the re
quest that he did not say any thing for
sometime, and finally asked the young
man who he was. The doctor learned his
name, and then asked him why he did
not go to his relativesfor money. The
young man replied that he had no rela
tives. After a few days' thinking over the
matter the doctor concluded to give the
money to the young man, and he did so.
A year or so afterward Dr. Weiting re
ceived $5,000 from California. It was
marked : " One-half the money I have
made." Dr. Weiting then wrote to the
young man that be considered that he
bad complied with his promise, and re
leased him ; but the young man replied
he did not consider himself released, and
would carry out bis bargain. Money
continued to come from California, nntil
Dr. Weiting had received 140,000. Then
it stopped, and he could not find the
young tnah, and the doctor came to the
conclusion that he was dead. The doctor
took the $40,000 and invested it in a
block of buildings. He had hardly
made the purchase before the entire
block burned down, and he lost all the
money made for , him by the honest
young man in California. Washington

I find in my notes a description of
Gen. Grant written behind Vicksburg,

this remote date : "Almost at any time

is not so great while he thus moves along

the opinion will hardly lie verified by the

of giving her pupils word lessons ; that is,
she describes some) familiar object, going
more and more into particulars, till some
one of the children makes a sign that he
knows what it is. On this occasion she
began to describe an animal which had
two legs and two wings, was covered with
feathers, lived most of the time in trees,
and so on ; when finally one little fellow
put up his hand.
"Well, what is it, Johnny?" she
asked.
"I think it's a cow," Johnny answered.

Divorce and Marriage.
My marriage was a very romantic
one," said a Chicago gentleman at the
Palace Hotel, San Francisco, who is on
his bridal tour.
The lady's former husband was an in
timate friend ofminj. He is a good fe!
low, but he didn't use her well.
Although a gentleman in most respects,
he was so unfortunate as to have the
drinking habit, and occasionally, while
in liquor, he raised the deuce in the do
mestic circle.
Both he and the lady were accustomed
to come to me for ail vice after these af
fairs. " Get a divorce," said I- at last
" Agreed," says they, and shook hands
on it
Then they separated, pending the re
sult of the legal proceedings.
I visited the lady in her retirement
several times.
" Frank," said the husband to nie,
" don't you think you had better not call
on Li.zie while this divorce business is
in progress?"
" Why, Bob," says I, " what the mis
chief have you to do with the mutter ?
" I don't like it," says he.
" But," says I, " the idea never occur
red to me liefore, but now that you sug
gest it, I don't know but what I will. J
you think she'll favor the idea her
self?." " I'm blessed," continued the Chicago
man, " if the fellow didn't begin to' fight
the divorce from that minute."
" We downed him, of course, but lie's
still cool, and even refused to attend the
wedding.
"However, when we get home my wife
will manage to smooth him down ; she
knows his ways, you understand.
There's nothing so painful to me as a
break in an old friendship, and we both
really like Bob wcry well, in spite of his
faults.
Laughing in Battle.
General Pleasanton said that even in
action, at the most critical point, he could
always see something that made him
laugh. It was at the battle of Brandy
Station, where the Gtneral distinguished
himself as a cavalry leader, that one of
these instances occurred. In the heat of
the engagement a cavalryman's horse
w as shot from nnder him. A shell had
taken off the horse's hind legs clean, and
the cavalryman and horse rolled together
in the dust.
" That soldier " said the General, " was
the coolest man I ever saw. He got np
and shook himself and commenced to
take off his saddle and bridle, and care
fully piled them, with his other traps, in
a little heap. Although the shot were
screaming past him, and the air was full
of bullets and shell, he acted with as
much deliberation as if he were getting
ready for breakfast That was what at
tracted my attention. I watched that
fellow, thinking that that was the kind of
a man I wanted in my escort, At that
moment another shell took off his horse's
head, and he looked at hint a moment,
and then put LU foot upon the horse's
hotly, about the only thing that was left
about the animal, and shook his fist at
the rebel battery over on the hill. It was
the most comical sight to me I ever saw,
and I burst out laughing. I couldn't
help it, although we were in a pretty
tight place. The next morning I sent
over to the regiment to which the soldier
belonged and asked the name of the man
whose horse had leea killed in the sin
gular manner stated. My orderly return
ed, saying that be couldn't find him.
When I insjiected the regiment, or what
was left of it, that day, I rode down the
line and looked at every man to see if I
could pick him ont myself. Don't you
know that I could never find out that
fellow ? You see, he had probably stolen
a horse from the quartermaster's depart
ment and had remounted himself, and
was afraid to cpme forward for fear of
court-martial. He was a brave fellow,
and I would have been glad to have made
him a sergeant You see there were a
great many horses killed, and one man
could not be singled out very easily. It
was a curious thing that alter leaving a
lot of dead animals on the battle field,
next day would see nearly every man
mounted, anil in good condition. You
see, they would steal the horses from the
quartermaster's department, "r else
where." What Women Didn't Know.
I thought women knew everything
about everything. But they don't I
don't like to tell this story ; it is a kind
of a giveaway. There were three or four
ladies enjoying that afternoon time when
ail the gossip is manufactured and made
up in packages to lie delivered around
town. They were having a charming
time when the China boy walked into
their midst, holding in his hand a box of
paste of some kind. lie handed it to the
lady of the house with the laconic re
mark :
" Man dow n there sell 'em."
They all grabbed for the box.
" What is it? said one.
" I don't know," said the other,
it's paste."
" I don't know," said the hostess.
"but
"It's
that new complexion paste we were read
ing atiout I km't you remember? That
thing that Mrs. Langtry wrote a recom
mendation for. It must be that
" It must be good. Let's try it"
So one of thein took a good big dab of
it and put it on her cheek, and another
put some on her chin, and another on
her forehead. Then they all begun to
squirm. The first one's check was all
drawn up, and she could only speak out
of the side of her mouth ; the third one's
eyelids were pulled up so that she could
not shut them.
" Well, I never ! We don't want any of
that, anyway. John, take it away ; take
it away, .quick. Tell the man we don't
want it"
The Chinaman departed and found the
peddler sitting on the front steps. The
peddler rose np.
" Well," he said, " Im glad you've come
back. I thought you were cleaning all
the silverware in the bouse with it"

ANDERSON VILLE.
Description of the Prison Site
as it Appears To-Day.
It will be remembered that the site of
the prison was a couple of side hills slop
ing gently down tow.ir I each other into
a bog or swamp, through which ran a
sluggish stream of watr cit'ht or ten feet
w ide and about six inche deey. When
this spot was chosen f-r a prison it was
quite heavily timbered with pine tree.
A space of about twenty acres in extent
was cleared off ami securely fenced in
with the timber thus obtained, the tim
ber being cut twenty five feet long, anil
buried five feet in the ground. The soil
was light and sandy. Only two tree
were left standing in the entire enclosure.
No place could have been more inhospit
able and cheerless. The swamp, in which
a man would sink to the waist, occupied
a considerable portion of the field, the
little stream wan brackish ami nnpalata
bie ; Uie absence of shade trees, which
might have lieen left, made the pen al
most a caldron under the burning south
ern sun.
To-day the place presents a some
what pleasanter aspect The side' bills
are now farmed, the swamp is not, and
will not be for years, until redeemed by
a more careful system of agriculture. Af
ter the prison was abandoned in April,
18fi5, the place grew np with second
grow th timber, but this has been almost
cleared away, and in its place in the
proper Beason axe found the products of
(jeorgut husliandry. The great, towering
stockade has almost entirely disappear
ed ; it is only here and there that a single
post or a little group of pouts m to be
seen. These have not rotted away but have
boen wisely split up into raiU to fence
off the farm land. Their purpose is not
now to keep in prisoners, but to keep out
intruders.
Still, though the heavy spiked timbers
have been removed, the three linen of
stockade can be distinctly traced ; they
are likely to be discernible for years to
come. The strong earthworks that the
Confederate soldiers threw up are still
there, hard and firm ; and the rifle pits
used by them are still traceable, though
2:1 year have elapsed since they were
dug.
The sluggish littlestream, the"Branch,"
as the prisoners called it, still takes its
way across what was the old enclosure,
about a third of the way from the south
ern boundary of the stockade. It is to
day much as it was in the Ws. Its banks
are lined now, as then, with rank, oozy
ground, still miasmal and disagreeable,
but of course, shorn of the fetid, excre
mental stench of war times. This was
the general sink of the prison, and its
stench could then be detected a mile
away.
Those familiar with the history of An-
dersonville will remember the little
spring, tTovidence Spring it was call
ed, because it was a godsend to the pris
oners, that broke forth on the 12th or
13th of August, ISi'A, between "dead
line " and the stockade, not far from the
north gate. Previous to this time the
prisoners got water from the " Branch,"
or general sink. When this spring broke
ont, however, Captain Wirz considerately
allowed them to 'sink a barrel and con
duct the water within the "dead line,"
and here the prisoners would stand in
line by the hundreds,awaitiug their turn
to get a drink of fresh water. It was the
one great blessing of the pen, and it has
never ceased to flow. Its waters bubble
forth to-day as fresh and sparkling as in
those times of suffering. The appearance
of the spring, of course, is changed.
Twenty years of ceaseless flowing has
worked it back a little higher np the hill,
since the old barrel that the prisoners
sunk soon disappeared after the prison
was abandoned. It is now some twenty
feet from the perceptible outline of the
stockade. For a time it was protected by
a large pine stump, but is now surround
ed by a neat wood curbing about two and
a half feet high, with a semi-circular open
ing on the lower side, through w hich the
water constantly flows.
Before the spring broke forth the pris
oners endeavored to find fresh water by
sinking wells in the hillsides, but to no
avail. Many such excavations were made,
some of them forty or fifty feet deep. Sev
eral of these are still to be seen, almost aa
perfect as when the prisoners dug them.
They are all dry, since whatever water
runs into them from the surface is rapid
ly absorbed by the sandy soil. They are
a constant source of danger, yet the care
less husbandry of the south does not fill
them np.
Of course the "dead line," a low fence
eighteen feet from the stockade, made by
nailing a fonr-inch strip of board on low
posts about twenty feet apart, has wholly
disappeared. Not the slightest trace is
left of it, since it was very lightly con
st meted.
Though more than twenty years have
passed, the burrow or dugouts of the
prisoners are still discernible. It is
strange what grotesque humor will crop
out in the midst of suffering. It seems
as though there is a la. by which hu
mor asserts itself as a protest against de
spair from the very depth ol a suffering
heart These dugouts mere kennel
were the boys' " browns tone front" The
hillsides, especially on the north slope,
are deeply corrugated. Great washonts
are to lie seen where the prisoners' bur
rows iiave caved in. It w ill take a long
time for the influences of weather and
shiftless farming to obliterate them.
Here and ther, also, is to be seen a nar
row, long depression in the ground lead
ing toward the stockade. These a re caus
ed by the falling in of the earth over the
prisoners' tunnels, which were excavated
with a view to escape, and escape some
.'oO of the men did. Periodically the
Confederates would drive a heavily load
ed wagon over the space between the
stockades and the "dead line," with a
view to breaking in the soil and discov
ering the tunnels. Besides this, they
probed the ground with sharp spikes for
the same purpose. These little lines of
indenture there are eloquent with the
hopes and efforts that too often were un
availing. Relics of prison life are constantly be
ing exhumed bits of pots and kettles,
knives, spoons, canteen covers, and the
like. These are mostly found on the
sandy slopes of the hills, since the soil of
the marsh has scarcely been disturbed.
Upon the whole, the place has the air of
a peaceful rural district One would
readily see that it had been the scene of
war operations. But there is nothing to
suggest the horrors of thirteen months of
prison experience except to one who can
rightly read and interpret the little signs
we have pointed out above. ilucayo
