    FOR THE LAST TIME.
For the Inst time we stand together her®
And look across to where the lines of light
Along the harbor to the city's height
Flash out with radiance clear.
I cannot help but think how many a night
Your eyes have watched those red lights
drawing near,
When they were all by which you had to
steer,
Yet ever sped the little craft aright.
Swift as a bird 1t flew from pier to pier,
And still I know'twill wing its watery flight,
And still will happy hearts and faces bright
Crowd all its length, as in the bygone year.
Only ono face will vanish from our sight.
Only the presence that made all so dear.
Forever from our lives will disappear;
I only know that here you stand tonight
For the last time!
And all the world grows drear.
A sudden, blinding mist shuts from my sight
The distant splendor, blazing red and white.
1 will not lift my eyes to yours for fear
That you, too late, should read my soul aright.
I may not touch your hand in parting here,
Yet can no darker cloud o'er life appear
Than when I answer to your calm "Good night"
For the last time!
—lda I. Gould in New York Sun.
lIEVENGED.
It was about half an hour after sunset,
hut an orange light still, burned above
the lonely southern valley. The trem
bling evening star was hanging over the
green silences of the fragrant Tennessee
woods. Vapor wreathed phantoms from
the river course and from the dense
thickets that skirted the camp ground
came ever, and anon the mournful sound
of wliippoorwills, sounding faint and
low, like the remembered echoes of a
dream. Yet Wallace Keeno would have
given well nigh all he was. worth to ex
change its luxuriant verdure, one mo
ment only, for the pine clad heights and
salt winds of Maine, with russet winged
robins chirping their familiar madrigals
in the apple orchards below.
"Two years ago I left home," mur
mured Wallace Keeno as he gazed
thoughtfully out where the purple sky
seemed to touch the waving woods. ' 'Two
years since young Hamey told me he
never would give Marion to 'a common
mechanic,' yet the wound rankles sharply
still."
"Captain"
"Is that you, Spicer? What now?"
Captain Keene turned his face toward
the opening of the tent, where Private
Spicer's head was just visible.
"Why, sir, our fellows have just
brought in that lot o' men that was hurt
in that scrimmage across the river this
mornihg, and some on .'em is wounded
bad."
"I will be there directly, Spicer."
There was a little crowd of men gath
ered on the river shore in the warm
glow of the spring, but they silently
parted right and left for Captain
Keene's tall figure to pass through their
midst.
Six or seven dusty, bleeding men were
sitting and lying around in various pos
tures, their ghastly brows made still
paler by the faint, uncertain glimmer of
the young moon. Keene glanced quick
ly around, taking in the whole scene in
that ono brief survey.
He stopped short as his eye fell on a
new face, half shadowed by the green
sweep of drooping alders—a pale, blood
streaked face with a gaping cut on the
forehead.
"This is not one of our men!" he ex
claimed sharply. "How came he here?"
"No, sir," explained Spicer, stepping
forward. "I think he belonged to the
Eighth. I'm sure I don't know how ho
ever got mixed up with our fellows, but
there he was, anil I thought we'd better'
not wait for their ambulance, but bring
him straight here."
"Right," briefly pronounced Keeno,
stooping over the insensible figure. "Let
them carry him to my tent, Spicer."
"I beg your pardon, captain—to your
tent''"
"Didn't you hear what I said?" sharply
interrogated the superior officer. "Bruce,
• make the others comfortable in Lieuten
ant Orilway's quarters. There will be
4 plepty of room for thom there."
"Well, I'm beat!" ejaculated Spicer
five or ten minutes afterward as he
came out of the captain's tent scratching
his shock of coarse red curls.
Meanwhile the dim light of a lamp
swinging from the center of the little
tent shone full on the singular group
within its circling folds—the wounded
private lying like a corpse, still and pule,
on the narrow iron bedstead, the young
officer leaning over him and supporting
his head—and the brisk, gray eyed little
surgeon keenly surveying both as ho un
folded his case of phials and powders.
"He is not dead, doctor?"
"No; but he would have been in an
other half hour. Your prompt reme
dies have saved his life, Captain Keene."
"Thank God! oh, thank God!"
The surgeon looked ut Keene in amaze
ment.
"Ho doesn't belong to your regiment.
Why are you so interested in the case?"
"Because, doctor," said Ke.no, with a
strange, bright smile, "when I saw him
lying under the alders, dead, as I thought,
I rejoiced in my secret heart. At first—
ionly at first. " The next moment I re
membered that I was a man and a Chris
tian. For years I have carried the sjjirit
of Cain in my breast toward that man;
now it is washed out in his blood."
It was high noon of the next day before
the wounded man started from a fevered
doze into the faint dawn of consciousness.
"Where am I?" he faltered, looking
wildly around him, with an ineffectual
effort to raise his dizzy head from the
pillow. '
"Now, be easy," said Private Spicer,
who was cleaning liis gun by the bedsido.
"You're all right, my boy. Where are
you? Why in the captain's tent, to be
sure, and that's pretty good quarters for
the rank and file, I should think."
"The captain's tent? How came I here?"
"That's just what I can't tell you—
you'll have to ask himself, I guess. You
ain't any relation to Captain Keene, be
you?"
"Keene —Keene!" repeated the man.
"Because," pursued Spicer, "If you'd
been his own brother born, ho couldn't
have taken better care of yon. His cous
in, maybe?" •
"No! God forgive me, no!" faltered
the wounded man with a low, bitter
groan.
"Hero ho is now," said Spicer, tho fa
miliar accents of his voice falling to a
more respectfully modulated tone as he
rose and saluted his officer. "He's all
right, captain—as clear headed as a bell!"
"Very well, Spicer; you can go."
The private obeyed with alacrity.
When they were alone together in the
tent, Wallace Keene came to the low bed
side.
"So you're all right, Mr. Harney?" he
asked kindly.
"Captain Keene," murmured Harney,
shrinking from the soothing tone as if it
had been a dagger's point, "I have no
right to expect this treatment at your
hands."
"Oh, never mind," said tho young man
lightly. "What can Ido to make you
more comfortable?"
Harney was silent, but his eyes were
full of the tears he fain would drive back
—tears of remorseful shame—and he
turned his flushed face away lest the
man he had once so grossly insulted
should see them fall.
The next day he again alluded to the
homo subject.
"Captain Keene, you asked mo yester
day what you could do for me?"
"Yes."
"I want you to obtain leave for May
to come and nurse me when I am trans
ferred to hospital."
Captain Keene turned toward the sick
man a face white and hard as marble
and said in a strangely altered voice:
"Do you mean your sister?"
"My sister—yes."
"Of course, if you wish it, I can ob
tain permission, Harney. But"
"Well?"
Keene's cheek colored, and he bit his lip.
"I should not suppose she would bo
willing to leave her husband for the very
uncertain comforts of hospital life."
Harnoy smiled, looking into his com
panion's face with keen, searching eyes.
"May is not married, Captain Keene.
She has no such appendage as a hus
band!"
"Not marriod!"
"I know what you thought. She was
engaged and almost married. We had
nearly induced her to become Lisle Spen
cer's wife, but she refused on the very
eve of the wedding day."
Keene had risen and was pacing up and
down the narrow limits of the tent with
feverish haste.
"Because," went on Harney, "she loved
a certain young volunteer who left S
about two years ago too well ever to be
come any other man's wife."
"Harney—you do not mean to say"
"I do, though, old fellow, and, what is
more, I mean to say that since I've been
lying in this tent my eyes have been pret
ty thoroughly opened to my own absurd
folly and impertinence."
Captain Keeno wrung his companion's
hand and hurried away, to mistake tho
bootjack for the inkstand and to commit
several other no less inexcusable absurdi
ties.
"I see you'll get nothing written to
day," sighed Harney as he lay watching
Wallace Keene tear up sheet after sheet
of condemned note paper.
"I shall, though," smiled Wallace.
"Only I can't tell exactly which end of
my letter to begin at."
Captain Keene did write—and if he in
serted a little foreign matter into the
epistle it didn't matter, for Harney, con
siderate follow, never asked to see it.
Marion came, and when her brother
was promoted into the convalescent
ward, and she went home again, it was
only to lose herself in bowers of orange
blossoms, forests of white satin ribbon
and acres of j>early, shimmering silk,
shot with frosty gleams of silvery bro
cade, for the course of true love, after
all its turn and intricacies, had at length
found its way into tho Bunshine and was
running smoothly over sands of gold.—
A. R. in New York News.
Simultaneous Games of Chess.
The perfection to which chess may be
carried almost implies its imperfection as
an amusement. Chess giants like Mr.
Blackburn and tho lute Henry Zukertort
act as warnings rather than ideals to or
dinary people in search of amusement.
The latter gentleman once undertook to
carry oil 18 ganiek simultaneously with
out looking at tho boards. The perform
ance did not end very satisfactorily, for
after more than two days' play tho men
tal acrobat surrendered tho contest. But
the fact of having carried it so far im
plied a bewildering feat of cerebration,
for if the first four moves on either side
in a single game admit of 72,000 varia
tions the first four in 18 games make the
appalling total of 1,200,000 possible com
binations.
Mr. Blackburn is unrivaled as a blind
fold player, and he has actually succeed
ed in winning the majority of 12 simul
taneous games without the assistunco of
sight. The possible variations in the first
four moves of these number 864,000.
Performances such us these leave on the
mind the oppressive and somewhat hu
miliating impression of infinity. It is too
much of a good thing. One can scarcely
imagine how a brain called on to steer
through such vast and barren complexi
ties can have any faculties in reserve for
useful ratiocination.—Blackwood's Mag
azine.
Wall Street Fall of Schemes.
A feature of market reporting should
be the daily statement of the number of
men in the Btroet with schemes. They
are numerous now and are steadily on
the increase, as the railroad brokers and
money getters will testify. One of the
former was heard to remark the other
day, "If you were to stand at the corner
of Wall and Broad streets and break
with a club the head of every man that
came along, tho air would be so full of I
schemes that the sun would be dark
ened." —New York Tribune.

GEMS IN VERSE.
MisuiidfrNlood.
Two little sand heaps by the sea
As much alike as pea and pea.
Beside one heap a lit lie lad
With serin,is eyes, and all intent
Upon his wo; k, with patience had
Molded a mound, and as I went
Past him I wondered what it meant.
"A pie?" I asked. "A fort," said ho.
Beside the other pile of sand
There sat a tiny,gold haired maid.
She patted with her baby hand
Tho warm, white hillock, and I said,
'That is a noble fort you've made."
"No, 'tis a pie," she answered me.
We grown folks hardly understand
Tho happy fancies children liavo.
Busy amid the seaboach sand
That is washed white by many a wave—
Tho boy would be a patriot brave;
A housewife would his sister bo.
Old Dobbin.
I seo old Dobbin through the fence. llow weak
ho looks, and old!
His hair is falling off in spots: ho feels tho
damp and cold;
He hangs his head; his stop is slow; 'tis plain
enough to seo
His thirty years are more to him than fifty are
to me.
Ho shall not work another jot—not that ho
would complain;
But from this hour he ne'er shall know tho
touch of whip or rein.
Of all tho homes 011 the farm he's been tho
very best.
I should have thought of it before, but now ho
shall havo rest.
I call to my mind tho colt lio was, and how I
broke him in.
Whew! how ho kicked and pranced and
plunged; 'twas doubtful which would win.
But I was young as well as lie and would not
bo denied.
And since he's been as safe a nng as man would
wish to ride.
Then in my happy courting days he knew the
very night
That I would swing the stable door and greet
him with delight.
He knew the girl I loved was waiting far away
and fair.
Ho seemed to say, " 'Twill not be long before I
take you there!"
Then on my wedding day ho stood with others
at tho church.
No doubt ho thought for just that once 1 left
him in the lurch.
Ono face, one form, that day of days, was all
that I could see.
I did not think of Dobbin then, whate'er ho
thought of me.
And when tho years had brought their grief,
and I learned Joy's reverse,
Ho drew the little ones and me behind the
gloomy hearse.
I cannot say that ho divined how lonely was
my lot.
But slnco ho lias not been the samo; I know
that I have not!
And so through gladness and through grief old
Dobbin has been near.
No wonder that 110 looks so old when I have
grown so sero.
I know full well that fifty years Is youth to
many men.
Tis not the years, hut t hat my heart has reached
threescore and ten!
So while I live his failing life shall naught hut
comfort know.
Old Dobbin, as I 6aid at first, shall ne'er feel
rein or blow.
Tho best of oats, the sweetest hay, the field to
wander free.
Shall all he his—a poor return for all he's been
tome!
—William L. Kecse.
Just lie Glad.
O heart of mine, we shouldn't
Worry so!
What we've missed of calm wo couldn't
Havo you know.
What we've met of stormy pain,
And of sorrow's driving rain.
Wo can better meet again
If it blow.
We have erred in that dark hour
Wo have known,
When the tears fell with tho shower
All alone
Were not shine and shower blent
As the gracious Master meant?
Let us temper our content
With his own.
For, we know, not every morrow
Can ho sad;
So, forgettiug all the sorrow
Wo have had.
Let us fold away our fears
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years
Just bo glad.
—Jumes Wliitcomb Riley.
The Poet aiul Ills Lady.
"What shall 1 do for my love?
Crown lior with flowers?
Float like a zephyr above
And around her for hours?
"What shall I do for my dear?
Shall I be mute?
Or tune to her delicate car
The strings of my lute?
"What shall I do for my queen?
Set sail to my hark?
Bear her away from tho scene
O'er tho billows so dark?
"What shall I do for my sweet?
In armor ye lad
Lay down iny life at her feet.
And, dying, he glad?"
Her lover sung thusly; but she
Interrupted ids dreams
And whispered, "Just purchase forme
Some chocolate creams."
