When Fortune smile In sweetest mlrlc
and Furor tna us on the hack,
When Fnme't steep hill Deems easy work,
And pleasure decorate tlie track
Along our rose-strewn youtliftil routo
Life plays uion cheerful lute
When we are young.
When care hss In lit the wesry frsma
And Trouble marked the wrinkled hrnw,
When wr mint live, tho' halt and Imne.
We sad'y think of then and now.
When f ritnds arc scarce and dollars few
Ijlfeiliuwi a very different view
When we are old.
When dmth shall enter at our door
And grimly serve his sinninous hold,
W hen wc shall miller ain no more
And Mother Dirlli our form shall fold.
Ah! thi n will he our battle won
And brighter life but ilt begun
When we are dead.

LOVE AND PRIDE.
Cecil mid I wero Hitting In llio bljr
rliulr tiy tho lire In tho win in, dimly
lighted library. Just after ilin n:f lio
liiul brought mo lii'i'O to loll 1 1 i til it
story. Cecil was n spoiled cliilil. Wo
nil rcoojjniz nl Hint fact, but ns wo I mil
compiled to spoil lilui wo could not
blame him for Insisting upon tlio
privilege wo had so itnwisoly ac
corded. Thus it emtio about Unit I
was spending my evening hero wliilo
tho others amused themselves in tliu
distant i irlor.
, "What slmll It bo?" I askod, pre
pared to thrill my hiiiiiII hearer
with sumo wondrous liilo.
"Anything," lio said, drawing my
Arm about him. "You know ao many,
Dorothy."
''Anything," was vory vague, but
after hard thinking aoino impulsu
ipromptcd me to toil him tho story of
Xaldur, ldiUIiir tho (rod. I was not
sure Hint ho would like it, but ho did.
Tho littlo fuco grow flushed and
earnest; lio leaned forward, Ills eyes
eagor and shilling us I lo'd of tho great
deeds of the god and everyone's lovo
for liiin. And when I uumo to Loki,
describing his tieucliory and cunning,
tho scorn ami nngor on Cecil's fuco al
most uiude mo lutigh. 1 liiiislicd with
tlio grand futiitttl slil p sailing out over
tho waters whilo tho warriors
mourned on tlio shore and ho sank
lack with a deep sigh.
'Don't you liko my story?" I askod,
as ho did not speak.
"Oil, yes, it is tlio best of litem
lit" Suddenly, after ttiioihor silcnco.
Dorothy, no tlicro any such men
now?''
4'So. dear, but tlicro are good onos
till," I answered drcuinily, thinking
of somo lives I know, not godlike, but
so truly noblo in tho fuco of bitter
circumstances.
. IIo was very quiet aflor that, nost
litis cozily in my arms witli his eyes
on tlio tire, the littlo head full of
thought.
"1) jiothy," ho said at last, "isn't
Dr. Harcourt noblo and bravo?"
I fch the color flush to my face.
"1 don't know, Cecil ; 1 thought so
once, but lutcly ho lias not uctod very
bravely. "
"Why not, Dorothy?'
'Oh, 1 can't toll exactly lio Is
fighting a chimera and is allowing it
to master him."
I spoke dreamily aud to myself
rather than to tho child. At that
tnomout, be f oio ho could -ok any
tnoro questions, tho door boil rang.
I hoard my (18101' Helen's voice, thou
the closing of tho parlor door and at'
was still again; but a momout lator
the 10 camo a tap at the library door
and Dr. Harcourt opened it and came
lu. Tho light was too dim for him to
Boo us till 1 laughed aud said:
. "(food evening."
' "What uro you doing hero lit the
dark?" ho asked, coming over to the
fire, "lias she beeu tolling you ghost
stories Cecil?"
"No," scornfully, "I don't like
ghost stories; Dorothy never tells
thorn."
"I have beon leading him 'through
old mythologies gravely sweet,'" I ox
1 plalnod as Dr. Harcourt sat dowu op
posite us.
"Dreaming, as usual," lie laughed.
"I wonder if you will ever come down
to practical life, Dorothy ? "
Cocil lost bis support then, for I
drew myself upright; it was not
pieasaut to bo called a dreamer, ospe
oially when I fancied mysolf growing
so sternly practical.
"Have 1 made another blunder P'1
smiling at my angry face. "You must
pardon niy prosaio view of things.''
Then, his tone changing suddenly,
"Helen tells mo you have beeu out to
day."
"Yes."
But bore Cocil Interrupted; slipping
down from my side be went over to
the doctor's chair and climbed on bis
knee.
Something sent my thoughts back
' tbs time, three vaars sxro. whoa I
Imi I had an art craze, and this
friend Imil patiently shown mo a'.l tho
treasures accessible, to the public In tiic
city.
We did not live In the grand housa
then, but In n sinnll one on an old
fishionod street. Thoro wore live of
its llriindous, .luck, Nun, Helen, Cecil
and I, Dorothy, n lurgo family to sup
port on the very modest Inciimn mother
derived from (hit properly pupa loft
her. .luck hint been i xpectod to fol
low pupa's footsteps and study for tho
ministry, but tiic llfo was not suited
to his pttsliiti, energetic nature. Poor
.lurk! lie had a hard alrujrglo to
bring iniiiiimu around to his way
of thinking, but hy-iind-by she was
forced to yield ami allow him to aban
don the idea uf a professional c.iieer
altogether.
IIo had a great achemo for making
his fortune in the West, but It re
quired capital, and wo had very little
of that. Nevertheless, .lack would
not give up; the idea was a good one,
and sooner or Inter ho could m ike it
work, ha declared.
Tho two other girls, N.m and Helen,
had their own congenial tastes and
pursuit, and 1 Dorothy had my
acpurnto life. 1 read and sltidiod,
dreamed mid planned, as every girl
will do, laughed nt generally practical
lack and tho girls, but always helped
and rncom'uged by .luck's friend,
I'liilip Hun: mi l.
It was strnugo that such a strong
friendship should have grown hottveoii
us two, for i'liilip was .much older
than I, practical, sensililo man, mid I
was only Dorothy, tho dreamer, as
they called lite, a queer mixture of
sense and nonsense, childish Impul
siveness and girlish fancies. Yet ho
always sympathized with mo, always
drow mo on to tell hlin all my fancies.
IIo was Dorothy's friond truly in
those days I cforo tho chango which
altered nil our lives.
Mamma's uncle, an old man who
tinted my father beciiuso he was a
clergyman, "a creature of ideals, with
no practical ability," us ho character
ized him, mid who, slnco pupa's death,
hud paid vory littlo attention to us,
died and left his entire fortune to me
to me, Dorothy Ilrundon.
Why not to Jack, who uocdod it so
much? Why imposo such a crushing
re-ponsihility upon me? It wit
Hlraugn to tiud myself risen from in
signiliciiiil 1) irotliy to a person of sub
stance, and I confess that at first I
felt miserably nervous unit frlghtotiod,
Instead of pleased at thu prospect of
my good fortune. It was useless to
attempt to shift liny of tho weight of
responsibility to Jack's shoulders, for
beyond a tnodorula sum to enable him
to devoiop his cliorlshed schemes ho
would have nothing to do Willi my
money.
Hut i it tt in i si it and tho girls wero ra
diantly happy. Thoy didn't feel their
dignify impaired, as Jack did, because
tho money happened to bo left to inn,
uhd when mamma saw my perplexity
sho wisely undertook to liolp hor bur
donod diiiiglncr.
But another tiling troubled mo
grcutl. Philip was so changed. Tho
Ural time ho culled aflor the fuuorul I
wus alone in tho parlor and ran to
lit in at once, expecting bolp and sym
pnthy as usual, but tlio moment I mot
his cyos full knowledge of tlio uhango
in him aud its cattso flushed upon mo.
Another knowledge camo as quickly
knowledge thut guvo ma cxqulsito
pleasure and quick, keen pain, that
lied my touguo and made mo for tho
first time In my Ufa shy and cou
strained with him. All at onus
know tho true moaning of our friend
ship. Ha wus not my friond but my
lover, uud now this wretoliod 1110110
was to come between us. WI1011 I was
poor he had meant to win 1110; now
thut I was rich ho would not take ad
vantage of my girlish liking, but
would leave me free.
And what could I do? Nothing;
only wait in silonoo wliilo every day
we drifted further away.
1 grow iiorvous and irritable with
tlio long strain; it told upon my
health, too, uud just before Christmas
a severe cold, combining with the
nervous anxiety of the last' fow
mouths, made mu really ill. For a
day or two 1 drugged myself about
refusing my mother's entroatles to seo
the doctor; ull tho time I hoped he
would come without boing summoned.
One afternoon I was lying on a
couch in the library, wrappod in
shawls, with my aching head buried
In tho pillow, when someone opotiod
the door and camo in. All the color
loft my face In the Intonse joy of see
ing hint. I know how my eyes wore
shining and the revelation my face
was making knew this because I saw
the rcflsotlou of it in his. I saw hU
momentary struggle with himself,
with his prldo, and thon my conquest.
"Poor Dorothy I" he suid aeutlv.
"Poor little girlt We sun not hare
you III."
Wc were Just tho old friends again
sf'er this, with perhaps a shade of
(IHlerenee, but of that I wotltd not
think. The happiness of tho present
was enough for 1110 ; the future could
wall. Tills afternoon I fait so strong
Hint i had venlurod to go out for the
first time sinco tny Illness.
Wrapped in thought I hud been
quite oblivious of the other two on
the oilier side of tlio fire, but now
witli a guilty start I romemlierod
'hilip. 1 woiulnrod if he lind noticed
my slrango silence. Kvidcnlly not,
for he and Cecil seemed engrossed In
uch other.
"And so Dorothy does not think me
, brave mail?' Philip was saying.
"And why?"
My heart gavo a quick throb of dis
may and shanio. I started forward to
check tint child's litis wor; but It was
too Into.
"Sho says you aro lighting a ehl
morn," said Cecil. "What is a chi- i
ineru, Dr. Iluieourl?''
"It is something that runs away
with tho happiness of silly people,'
said I'liilip, after a short pause; and
then tlicro was a long, long silence.
At last I stolo a glaneo at Philip.
Cecil wus fast ailaep, ills bond on tlio
doctor's shoulder, his yellow curls
shining liko gold in the firelight. Hut
ho was not looking at tho child; his
cyos wore fixed 011 my face with a look
that thrilled me; It wus so dideient
from any I had cvor rocoivod front
hi 111 before, triumphant and lender,
strong and masterful.
Avoiding his eyes I hurriedly took
the child from his arms. My hands
were trembling, but I carried him to a
sofa. This certainly of Philip's love
had completely uunorved 1110 and
I could not encounter his glance again.
"Dorothy!" lio came over to the
sofa mid stood before me, but I did
not lift my eyes. "Dorothy?'' ho
said again, uud this time ho moved a
step nearer.
Willi a half sob of gladncsi I
strotclicd out my hands blindly and he
drew mo into his arms.
'My darling!" lio answered, thank
fully. "My wifo!" Wavorly Maga

The tierniiin Canary Industry.
According 10 a report of I'uited
Stales Consular Clork Murphy of Ber
lin, about two-thirds of tho 100,000
canary birds exported annually from
tier in any Jo tho United Statos aro Im
ported by a (iermuti resident of New
York, whoso (ionium home is at Ash.
fold, in tho province of Hanover,
whither tho birds are brought from
all pints of Germany. At ltrumlage,
in the Ilurz, tills man has a fuctory
which is capable of turning out cvory
day tlio material for 1000 bird cages.
This material is given out to tlio peas.
nuts, who mako tho cagos ut home.
From Ashfeld tho birds are shipped to
New York, via lirotnou, nceompiiniod
by ul'ondunts. Kadi attendant has
under his euro about 0110 thousand
birds, each tu Its own woodeu cugc.
As each bird must ho fed and cared
for regularly, tho altondunts aro kept
busily employed. O110 of these at
tendants has already crossod tho ocean
more than one hundred times In
chargo of birds. There aro thirty of
such employes. The New York houso
disposes of those birds tho fliiOBt
among them being tlio Andreasberger
Harzcunary in New Orleans, Chariot
ton, San Francisco and othor Ameri
can cltios, as well as in Canada.
Moreover, buyors are sont throughout
tho United Stains to obtain American
birds a id animals, and ulso to Moxico
and Cuba fqr parrots. Those uro
brought to Germany by tho canary at
tendants upon their return. In this
man nor this same porsou annually im
ports into Germany from the United
States about 6000 Virginia cardinal
birds (redblrds), 3000 nonpareils,
2000 indigo birds and 600 mocking
bird.
Sumouns Love to King.
The love of song Is fouud every
where prevalent among the Samoans.
With these merry aud pleasure-loving
people song, according to Hobort
Lints Stevenson, Is almost ceasoless.
"The boatman sings at his our, the
fuully at evening worship, the girls
at night In tho guest houso; some
liuios the work man at his toll. No
occasion is too small for the poets aud
musicians; a death, a visit, the day's
news, the day's pleasantry will be set
to rhyme and harmony. Even the
half-grown girls train choruses of
cliildioii for festal cerebrations."

SOLDIERS' - COLUMN
KENESAW MOUNTAIN.
An Iawi Man Who Wants ta Know
Who Commands on His Part of tha
Line.
I desire to re
late a few Inci
dents that camo
liniler tny obser
vation In the but
tle of Kciicauw
Mountain, June
27, I SIM. I have
read several ac
counts as to the
time the battle
"opened, somo
- placing it as late
is as tl a. 111., others
1Niin hour earlier,
My recollection is
that on tho part
of the line where
- - I was (nenrlv
to
the extreme right) the order to ad
vance was given but little lifter sun
rise. The regiment to which I belouir
rd (4th lows. First Itrigudc, First
Division, Fifteenth Corps) was ordered
to tnke position in our outer line of
skirmish -pits just nt break of day,
which we did, ami at the same time
received orders to advance on the
enemy's works nt the sound of the
bugle. Now, it seemed to me to be n
very short time from the time wo occu
pied the skirmish-pits until the bugle
sounded forward. I think the time
could not have been Inter than 7 o'clock
a. 111. We were stationed in an open
Held, facing nearly duo cast, and pro
bably HOD ya'di from the r ibel works.
Hetwccn ours mid the rebel works, and
about two-thirds of the distance to
them (the rebel works), was a small
r mm with some timber and a good
de il ofunderbrush. The enemy's works
(llrst line) was just nt the cdiro oftho
timber 0:1 tie east side of tho
creek. Their miln line wns on the
crest of the hill some distance bnck.
From our line to the creek was moderately-sloping
ground. (This position
was to the right of the mountain.)
When tho bugle soundod we started
on tho run to reach the covor of the
timber. As soon as wc left our works
the rebels opened tire on us with cm
11011 and musketry, our cannon mean
time firing over our heads. Wo readi
ed the timber with but small loss, and
up to this time we hud not fired a shot.
Upon reaching the timber wo began
tiring and continued advancing unit
drove tho rebels from their two ad
vance lines of rifle-pits, and sent them
flying up the hill to their main line;
but our success wns of short duration,
for wo hud just got comfortably settled
'n our new quarters waiting for more
help when I chanced to look to my
right a short distnnce, and saw a col
umn of Johnnies eight deep marching
right up the lines of works wo were
in, driving all before them.
The writer also begun to look up a
line of retreat. To m y left and rear,
some little distance, I stw a largo oak
tree, but did not seo s deep gully
which lay between mo and the tree,
and into which I went head first, and
my musket muzzle down in the mud.
I pulled myself nut, also my gun, but
enbt the gun to one sido and picked
up another which some soldier had
lost, I gained the tree in safety and,
upon looking around for my friends,
tho enemy, I found they had In turn
been attacked and driven bnck; but
they returned to tlio charge and our
troops were compcllod to full back
again, which about ended the fighting
at th it point. There was still heavy
fighting to our left, as firing was quite
in avy at times. Heports hail been
reaching us for some time through tho
wounded and stragglers that our
troops wero being worsted in thoir
attack on tho mountain. I worked
my way back to the position wo occu
pied in tho morning in our main line.
Tlicro was one thing that I have not
been able to account for as far as our
part of tho lino was concerned, and
that is this: I did not seo un officer
above the rank of Captain during tho
battle, and do not know who hud
charge of that part of the lino. Each
soldier seemed to bo fighting on his
own hook. I should bo pleased to
hear from somo others who were on
that part of tho lino. W. H. Booth In
Nationnl Tribune.
..iiUuNlllON.
Two lastanoes Whin Soldiers Bsllevsd
Tbay Would b Klltad.
At tho risk of being classed with the
"unsophisticated," I desiro to say that
on the morning of Sept. 17, 102, at
the battlo of Antictam, as tho com
mand was about to move from the Held
where we had lain uudcr the firo of
rebel batteries all day of thu 10th, my
attention was called to Private Isaac
P. Hopkins, who bad been ailing for
scverul days' but who would not give
up. Ho was clearly unfit for duty, and
was ordered to remain behind. "No,"
he said; "I would rather die thau bo
called a coward; but I know very well
I am going to be killod to-day."
Ho was the only man ' t bis com
pany who diod on tho field that day,
though many were wounded, mortally
and otherwise.
Another case in point. My chum
was Aarou C. Jenkins, as cool and as
bravo a boy as was ever under Arc. We
shared each other's confidence, as well
as blankets and rations. On the morn
ing of May 3, 1803, at Chancellors
villo, the regiment was inline near the
Plank road, whore tho Eleventh Corps
had fallen buck the previous evening,
apparently waiting orders. Brigade
after brigade of our troops bad been
successively driven back through the
woods, whon I noticed Aaron out of
ranks sitting on a pile of old rails.
His attitude and demeanor betokened
deep thought Approaching him, and
with a familiar slap on the back, I ask-
I. ,n rm s.
i jkaw' in .
rd him if his girl had got married.
"No," he said quietly, ' but this Is my
last battle. I know I will be killed
to-day."
Ten minutes latter (Ion. Carroll led
us Into that woods; a volloy wus fired
and a charge was ordered, and within
!I0 minutes that woods was cleared of
Johnnies, breastworks and all, pun
ning out U03 prisoners. Aaron C. Jenk
ins was the only man o his company
who lost his life that day. There is no
ground for presuming that all or any
considerable proportion of soldiers
about to meet the enemy aro troubled
with n premonition of disaster, much
less men like tho two I have named,
who, their surviving comrades will tes
tify, wero absolutely without fear in
action, and always ready for duty.

lOqimiiliiilty or evenness of disposi
tion Is frequently assumed to lie 11
mere absence of strong feeling or ex
rltalillily, 11 nil to betoken somewhat
nf apathy, or, at least,, Indifference to
it.irring concerns of life to its hopes
and fears, Its longing and terrors, Its
ssplnitliiiis and enthusiasms. It Is
true there Is tin Innate Insensibility
that never gives ways to outbreaks of
any kind, kI m ply because It Is too
dull to lie 11 roused; but this differs us
widely from true equanimity ns the
silence of intense watchfulness. Thern
Is, too, 1111 artiflchil stoicism, which Is
limply the crushing out of nil natural
Joshes, the toning down of all vivac
ity the suppression of impulses, tho
rlc udciiing of emotion. True equanim
ity, so far from being any such
weak and puerile negation as this, la,
In fact, tho fruit of combined forces.
Karncst iloslros controlled by it strong
will, powerful passions curbed by
Intrepid resolution, iirdenteiithuslasiu

out of which nn equanimity worthy
