But, even as t hey listened, the I character of the melody under j weut a complete transformation, and from the depths of sorrow aud despair it burst forth iu a glad, exultant strain- a wild, free Hood of music.

That was the end. Leyton and Mark Spencer pass ed on. The lit tie girl’s present mood seemed to them too sacred for intrusion: but lame Joe stup ed for the good nig lit kiss which the child was accustomed to lie stow upon him.

It was she who look him in liund, and pelted and talked with him until his companions began to no tice wid; wonder that lie was grow ing’ into a very different man; for sorrow had made the child sytupa thetic, and her strong intlueme over Joe was in a great measure due to this fuel. When John Cohen war killed by the fulling of a bowlder. Lila, liltle more than a bubo then, had become an adopted child of the camp. Later, when an accident shu l out forever (lie light from her beautiful eyes, she seemed suddenly to have grown nearer and dearer to each one and to lie come the object of especial care : yet. in spite of their kindness,there weie times when she grew sad and loftesomt. She used then to fly for consolation to het dear frierd, the little organ, and draw from its bosom a melodious re sponse to het mood. In strong contrast withtliegray and faded old woman who was her attendant, or the bruized, weather bea'en men about her, was this child of seven ytars. Like a rare, sweet Llossom she was growing up in that wild place with a halo of beauty and purity about her young life thateomman ded almost adoration from the few rough, yet kind hear* ed peo pie, Nature was kindly, too. The sun never kissed her "soft little cheeks too roughly, and its most schorchirg ray only added a hr ght er tint to the long, fair hair which hung in waves below her waist the pride and admiration of her friends. Y r etit was hard, even for a stranger, to look unmoved upon the great blue eyes, so pathe ic in their blindness, and know t bat Lita Cohen could never see again. I think Lita herself minded it most after Warren, the poet of the caiui). had bernt telling her of the rugged granduer of the conn try about them, and described the singulat beauty of the flowers which he brought her day after day, or when one of her big, bur ly friends laid in Iter hand tin pictures of the children the chit Jreu whom she had learned to love as brothers and sisteis. She had known about them all a long itce, ever since she could remem her, aud they often sent her friend ly messages and little presents which she used to sit, holding in her hands, a strange wistfulness in the big blue eyes, a great ache in tlie litile tender heart, at tho’t. that site must always feel Inti could never see. The little girl caret! a great ileal about all her frienfs; but lame •Toe was her prime favorite, pet baps because be was lame, He had grown lamer than ever of la e and was failing very fits*; yet no body had told Lita of it ; nobody could bear to break the, news to her. She used to sit at his side by the hour, listening to him or repeating the cbildishstories which Warren had read to her. One day whi e lie was sitting thus, patting his wrinkled heeks with her soft hands, she stopped slid denly, with a puzzled look in her face, a.» though a new thought had s ruck her. “The men say that the ttiiues of this district don't pay well enough and they will shortly break up ami go into a new country What will you and I do then,Uncle Joe?’ A tear trickled down the old man’s wan cheek. He, too, was thinking of u journey into a not h er country, aud it wrem bed his DKYOTI) TO NEWS, LITEHATUMb AND LOCAL AL I'AUCS heart strings to think of having Lita behiti d, but he wiped away the bright drops with the ragged sleeve of his coal, aud answered,: “You will go with them.

Unde Joe. w* at would yon do here without mi?” she asked, laughingly, as she clung Ughter to his Itaud. “Not ranch, to he sure, bllle one not much lie stroked her long, silken hair tenderly, wish ing that he might be able to tell het what no one else wanted (o ; but be had not the courage, and presently the little girl said : "It is getting chilly. Unde Joe: let's go in." but the old man went away and did not see her again until even ing'. lie bade her "good night. 1 ' and slowly followed the retrea-ing forms of the two gentlemen. Lev ton and Spencer, wondering wnv site looked so pale to night, and dung so lightly around his neck at parting. He felt a strange chill puss over him whenever he thought of the music, lmt, bv-aiid-by, he fell asleep and forgot it all. The ‘hreatened storm came ; such a tempest as ha 1 not swept the valley since its settlement,live years before. But flip sun shone out brightly the next morning, and there was one, at least, who hailed its advent with a sigh of relief; that one was Joe Minion. Crushed, bruised and sorely woun dtd, he dragged himself from a heap of debris and looked about him. No one was stirring. Near ly nil the others had chosen safer places than l.e aud were sleeping soundly, now that the wild strife wh en had taken place so lately between tha elements had ceased. How was it with little Lita * With an effort poor -foe sat up and looked. Where had stood a dwelling place last night was only a heap of ruins now. “Lita! Lit,ft!’’ called the old man piteously, hut there came no an swer. On his hands, with til It in re maining strength mustered into the effort, he crept to the spot. No child was there. Slowly, ev ery breath a pain almost uu-endu fable, lie drew himself to the top of a log to look. He saw her.and was not. long in gaining the spot. faking one limp baud in Ins mid clasping it tightly, he sank down at her side, though there was a smile upon his face ; the puin was all over. He had follow i d his little friend in her long, long journey, had gone into that other country, A little later the miners, awak • nttl by the faithful Nanuon, who had jns re n overed sufficiently to .rawl from the ruius, begun a search for the missing. Away beyond the scattered re mains ot the cabin they found them the two so strangely con Iras -lug: one so old and gray, the other like a gleam of light as she lay upon a bed of tangled grass aud shining baud, the pa lor of .tenth upon her fair, young face, aud the glory of tue sunshine iu her golden hair- What is wanted with munv young men, is imiepoudentisiu •get up and get.’ Ho w many young nett are wasting a vigoi ous in tuliood, it would be hard to tell.

Answer m was duly returned from the captain of the Guards i t inclosed a reso lntion of the common council of the city of Columbus, thank ing Mr. Godfrey for his offer to restore the gun, and defruy all expeir.e forpurchase and sending. A Sun reporter called upon Mr. Godfrey yes'erday, and from him learned the history of Ked Jacket. “I bought the howitzer," he said, “from captain George M. Wh’iesidein 1860. Captain While side was then commander of the Shamrock, und afterward com manded the Rebecca Everingliuu., recently burned on the Chatiu choochee river.

Red Jacket began tiring sa lutes 1861 at ttie inauguration of Jefferson Davis as president of the Southern confederacy Mon gomery, Ala. On that occasion it was handled by the Columbus Guards, who were stationed on Capitol Hill and tired it 100 times when the Guards weie ordered to front and became company U. of the Second Georgia regiment and joined Toomb’s brigade, Ited Jacket was left in care of' the cit izens es Columbus and did duty ia firing salutes for the Coufeder ate Victories. At die close of the war, when General Cunby penetra ted through Alabama to Columbus the Columbians who had not heard of General bee s surrender, plan ted lied Jacket on the bank of the Chattachoochee river and prepared to beat back the invader. They were soon convinced of this error, but to save there little howitzer they spiked it and tumbled it to l be bottom of the stream. Since Red Jacket has been in New York it has belehe 1 forth sa lutes for inauguration of each pres ident of the United States, begin iug General Grant, "except,” said Mr. Godfrey “the inauguration of Hayes. It fired 100 guns in the city Hall square on receipt of the news of President Tilden’s elec tion, and I trust the little gun will lire another salute for his elec tion this year.” The Columbus Guards will cele brale their fiftieth anniversary on April 28. On tint day the howi - ster will be resumed to them by J.
