A LITTLE - GRAVE.
nrys only a little grave," they said;
"Only a little child that's dead."
And no they cardessly turned away
From the mound the spade had made that day.
But they did not know 110 W DEEP a SHADE
That little grave in oun noun had made.
I know the coffin was narrow and small;.
Ono yard would have served for an ample pall;
.And one man In hip arms could have borne away
The renowned and Its freight of clay.
But taziois that dirlinghopes were hid
Beneath that little coffin lid.
I kitciw THAT MOTHER stood THAT DAT -
With folded hands, by that form of clay;
I know that burning tears were hid
" 'Neatti the drooping lash and aching lid;"
And I know her lip and cheek and brow
Wore almost as white as her baby's now.
I know that somethings-wero hid away— -
The crimson frock and wrappings gay;
The little sock, and half•worn shoo,
The cap, with Its . plumes and tamale blue;
And an EnFTY coin with its COValia SPRZAD:
As white as the face of the sinless dead.
PINK AND BLUE
Everybody knows that. a departing guest,
has the most to say. The touch of the door
knob sends to his lips a thousand things
which must be told; Is it strange, then, that
old people, knowing they have '•made' out
their visit,". and feeling themselves , brimful
of wi , dom and experience, should wish to
speak from the fullness of their hearts to these
whom they must so shortly leave?
Nobody thinks it strange The world ex
pects it,.and, as a general thing. bears it pa
tiently. Knowing how universal is this spirit
of forbearance, I should, perhaps, have for
ever hold my peace, lest I might abuse good
nature, had it not been for some
whiok will be related a little further on.
My litatrplace of business (I am the gold
smith of our village) has long been the daily
resort of several of my, particular cronies.
They are men of good minds,—some of them
quite literary ; for we count, as belonging to
our set, the lawyer, the schoolmaster, the
.doctor, men of business, Men of no bus - ideas,
and sometimes even the minister. As tnapho
supposed, ouediseussions take a wide gauge :
I can give no better notion of how wide than
to say that we discuss everythtng in the pa
pers, Yesterday there was a snow storm, but
the meeting was held just the same. It was
in the afternoon. The schoolmaster -o=o in
late with a new magazine, from which he read
now and then, for the - general edification.
"Ali!" said he "if this be true, 'we Mil all
write'for the papers."
"Bow's that I" we asked..
"Why, it says here that, if the true expni
once of any human heart were written, it
wont be worth more than the best tale ever
invented."
It was a terribly stormy day. The . tinoW
came whirling against the two windows of my
shop, clinging- to the outside, malting it twi
light within. I had given up work ; for my
eyes are not what they were, and I have to
favor them. Nobody spoke for awhile ; all
had been' set to thinking. Those few words
bad sent us all back, back, thirty, fotty, fifty
yenta, to call; up the past. We were gazing

There was a dead silence The past was being
questioned. Would it reply ?
At last some one•said,—
"Try it."
"But," said another, "it would fill a whole

I was rather sorry the lot fell upon me. for

in earnest, therefore, than it I had been In the
habit of running after the girls. After I be•
gan to like her, I w - atched every motion,—at
church, at evening meetings, at singing.
Fohool, and a glance from her -eye seemed to
fall right upon my heart. She had been very
friendly end sociable with me, always thank
ed me very prettily for what little trifles I
gave her, and never refused my- company
home. She would put her hand within my
arm without a moment's hesitation, chatting
all the while, never seeming in the least to
suspect the-shiver of joy which shot through
mp whole frame from the little hand upon my
ooat.slcove.
Iliad long been pondering in my mind, in
my walks by day and my lyings down at
night, what should be the next step, what
overt aot I might commit; for something told
me it was not yet time to say anything.
What could have been more fortunate for
my wishes, then, than the project set on foot
by the young people, of a grand sleighing
party on New Year's evening? They were
mostly younger than myself, especially the
girls. Eleanor was but seventeen, I was
twenty•thtec. But I determined to join this
party, and it was to invite Eleanor that I ar
rayed myself and set forth, as above mention
ed. It was a bold step for a bashful man,—
I mean now the invitiu - part.
I had thotight over; coming along, justmliat
'•ords I should use ; but, as I mounted the
banit ) ,l felt the words, ideas, and all, Slip
ping out at the ends of my fingers. If it•had
been a thinkly settled place. I should not have
thought so much about being watched: but,
as there was only one house in eight, I was
sure that not a motion was lost, that my pro•
ceedinge would be duly reported, and discuss
ed by the whole village. All these considers.
tions rendered my situation upon the stone
stop at-the front door very- peculiar.. .
I knew the family were in the book part of
the house, for the shutters of the front room
were tightly closed, as. indeed, they. always
wore, except on grand occasions. Neverthe
less, knocking at the front door seemed the
right thing to do, and I did it. With a terri
ble choking in my throat, and wondering all
the while who would come to open, I (ECU.
I knocked three times. Nobody came. Ped
dlers, I had observed in like cases, opened the
.outside door and, knocked at the inner. I
tried this with no better result. I then yen-'
tured to open the inner door softly, and with
feelings of awe I stood alone in the spare I
room. -
By the light which streamed in through the
oles in the topsof the shuttere I distinidish
ed the green painted chairs backed up sliffly
against the wall, the striped homespun car
pet, andirons crossed in the fireplace, with
shovel and tongs to match, the big Bibl.e on
the table under the glass, a waxwork on the
high mahogany desk in the corner, and a: few
shells and other ordat.nw, upon the mantel
The terrible order and gloom oppressed me.
I felt that it was, no slight thing to venture
thus unbidden into the spare room,—the - rbom
set apart from common uses, and opened only
on great occasions—evening meetings,. wed
dings, or funerals. But, iu the midst of all
my tribulation, one other thought-would come
--I don't exactly like to tell it, but then I be
lieve I promised to keep nothing back—well,
then, if I must, —I thought that this spare
room was the place wlkere Eleanor 'would make
up the, fire, when — when woe far enough
a° o 4 0 mute- reriliWY-oVerr Sunday. night._
With, that thought niY
,conrage, revived._ I
heard faint voices iii the next room, the,pound
ing of a flatiron, and a frequertOitep across
the floor. - I gait° a loud rap. The dbor open
ed, and Eleanor 'herself . appeared. She had
on a spotted calico gown, with a string of gold
beads around her neck. She held-in her hand
a piece of fan coral. I 'felt myself turning all
colors, stammered, hesitated, and believed in
my heart that she would- think-m& a 'fool.
Very likely She 'did, for I-really suppose that
she never, .thought That I meant
anything. -
Shp ` contrived, li:;':rever, , to pick out my
meanhefronr the 'Atha uf the odd words and
parts of sentences offered her, and replied
that Shis*ald let rue know that evAning. As
She .did not invite me to the hitch be only
thing left for,me to do was to say lgoodsafter
tioon and - depart. I don't know which were
the queerest, —my feelings in going' up or in
coming down the bank.
' When fairly in the road, happening to
glance back at the house, I saw that ono half

do.-' As an eiCaSe, I' took With me my books;
papers, 'and all the .metv.priblications which
reaohed.me. I alwayelhought they appeared
. yery,glad to see - me. ./
Being strangers in the place,. they saw but
'little company, and it seemed to be nothing
more than my clutY to call in riew sod. Chan in
a .neighboring; way. I talked quite easily: for
among books - J. felt at home..., Thertalked eat ,
silt', too; for they (I say , it in no ill:nat:tiriid
Way) were women.' They began to consider
my frequent calling as• a Mutter of course, and
tilways.smiled upon me when I entered. I
felt that, they congratulated themselves upon
finding me out. They. had, penetrated the ice,
and found open sea beyond. I - speak of it in
this way, beeausa'l afterwards hoard Ellen
joking her Sister about discovering the North
west passage to my heart.
This was in the fall of the year, when the
evenings were get ling quite long. , .They were
fond of reading but had not much time for it..
I was fond of reading, and had many long
evenings at- mydispostit. , It followed, there
fore, that, l-read aloud while they-worked.—
With the "Pink *and Bine"- just opposite, I
read evening after evening.. _At first I used
to look up frequently, to see bow such and
such a passage would strike "her ; but one
evening Ellen asked me, in a laughing, half
saucy sort of way, why I didn't look at her
sometimes to see how she liked things. This
made me color up ; and Jane colored up, too.
After that I kept my eyes ou my book ; but I
hiways knew When she stopped her work and
raised.her headAtt. the interesting parts,.and
always hoped she,didn't see the red flushes
spreading over my face, and always wished,
too, that she would look another way,—for,
somehow, my , voice would not go tan smooth
ly.
Those red flushes were to myself most mys
terious: Northeleas,- they continued, and
even appeared to be on the increase. At first
Ifelt.them .only .while_re.ading ;-then,_. upon.
entering the room; and at last they began'to
come before I got across the field. Still I felt
no real uneasiness, but, on the contrary, was
glad I could be of so much use to the Unity.
Never bofore.was the want of men•folks felt
so little by a family of women folks. I did
errands, split kindling, dug "tracks,"-(i.e.,
patlut - in - tho - stiow,) and glued broken furni
ture, .
I always thought of Jane, as "Pink and
Blue." Sometimes 'thought that she would
a little rather [ wouldn't come so often.. I
thought she didn't look up at me so pleasantly
as she used to at first, and seemed a little
stiff; but, as I had a majority in my favor, I
alwaya had - one good look at her when I said
good night . ; but it made the red come, so that
I had to out lieforeShe saw.. It seemed
to - trietllittlieebbeeklythtlittlooked.pinker than.
over, and the , two colors., -pink and blue,
seemed to..mingle and float before my eyes all
the way home. -" Pink and Blue," "pink and
blue." How those two little words kept run
ning in my head, and I began to fear ' in my
heart tool—for Do Sooner would I close my
eyes at night than those delicate-pink, cheekS
and blue eyes would appear before me. They
haunted my dreams,' and were all ready to
greet, me at, waking.
I was completely puzzled. It reminded me
of old times. Seemed just like being in love
again. Could it, be possible that I was liable
to a second attnoV, ?
' [To CONTINUED.]
It takes a great man to know the impor
tance of little things - . The attention bestowed
by Napoleon on the smallest details of milita
ry organization, has always seemed to us au
evidence of his talent scarcely inferhYr to Aus
terlitz or Marengo. No teneral know bettor
than Nopolenn that the efficiency of a'soldier
depends, ,first of all, upon his, being in perfect
health and splendid condition.' "He tried to
bring up all his•troops to the condition-of pu
gilists Whon,they.fight for the• championship.
To this dild several things aro essential,' the
chief of which 'are,' regular and wholesome
food, 'regular sleep, dry and warm feet, and,
no powerful stimulants, Napoleon always
insisted upon every , soldier having two pairs
of good shoes, and 'a good blanket. Every-'
thing else coUld be extemporized or dispensed,
with, but thesethe shoes for the march, and
the blanket for the bivouac—could neither be
extemporized or cht - 5 - Fiensed Wh - on the
odonsion occurred, Napoleon'dematided of his
troops the most, tremendous axertimiisi but
the admirable health resulting from-his sys 7
fern enabled the

which would have
also, to be, observed, that this cousuminateten-,

it was.nife to rdo so. • " • '
There was. !nothing in- which Napoleon.,
-shoWed more_ forethought-and good sense than
iu his management of recruits. He knew that:
young 'fellows tieoustomed to - the' shop, the
Held or the desk, cannot change their. habits
to those of the soldier.. without great risk.- 7 t
Consequently; he, was as, (weft!' and tonder,in

• I figgered . conspicyusly in many thrilling
scenes in my tower from Montgomery to. my
bumsted, and on several oocasionf I thought
"the grate kornio paper" wouldn't never be
'enrictied no more with my Ihbridations. Ar
ter biddin adoo to Jefferson D. I started for
the depot: I saw a nigger sittin on a fence a
playin on a banjo. "My Afrikin Brother,"
sett I, cotin from a Tract I onct red, "you be
long 'to a very interesting ratio. Yotir mas
ters is goin' to war excloosively on your ac

'Yes, boss," he replied, "an' I wish 'em
honorable graves!" and ho went on playin'
the banjo, larfin' all over , and openin his moth
wide enuif to drive in an old fashioned two
wheeled ohaise.
The train of oars in which I was to trust
my wallerable life was the scaliest, riokytiest
Makin lot of consarns that I ever saw on
wheels afore.
" What time does this string of.second band
coffins leave ?" I inquired of the depot mas

I hadn't more'n fairly squatted afore a dark

very sharp at me, he axed me what was my

We got under way- at-larst,- an' proceeded
on our journey at about,the rate of speed
which is ginrally observed by properly con
ducted funeral prodassions. A bandsum yung
gal, with a red musketar bar on the back of
her head; and a sassy little black hat tipt
over her forrerd, sot in the seat with me. She
wore - a - little Sesesh flag pia',d onto her hat,

one cold' winter's morning I was.accosted.hy

the flattery, like a fool I. went to work, and

thought I, it is hard enough to turn a:grind;
stone this', cold day, but to be called a 'little'
rascal was too much.. It ; sunk deep in my
mind, and often have I thought of it since.
When I see a merchant over polite to his
customers, bogging them to taken, littlebrait4t

ibinks I, that man has an axe to grind.

Mr: brother came to her rescue wilh an instru+

Alabamians knocked under, and asked him for
God's sake not to shoot. But the regithent '
resolved not to bo vanquished, and as 'the
train of oar's moved ,off, passing some 800
yards from the flag, they fired about 2UO rifle
shots, the. large balls - falling round- amonrthe

it between 'her fingers; trying if the colors
were good, Then she paused awhile seetn—J

off a piece with a Pair or sciSsors she had'
