T\e ctrnp was shaped like a bow, and the river Si nor formed its string; and around it was a deep ditch, and beyond the ditch a wail of clay. Moreover, within the samp and nearer to the shore there was a second ditch and wal'. ind behind it were the beaks of the snips and the host of Aquainusha, even of his own dear people the Act a; .ns. There were the o.d b.azons, and the spears that had fought below T oy towns. Taere were the two loons of Mycene, the Centaur of the son of Poiyj m .as, sou of Pirhhons; there were the Swan o: Lie- ei'se non and the Bull of the Kings of Crete, the Rose of Rhodes, the Serpent of Athers and many another knightly bearing of old friends and kindred dear.

This faint, calling to those barbarizes wuo a war aud ( y ju a^ain. behind the wail to surrender to th6 host ' or Puzraoh, out thus, being entrenched by the river S.hor, they would in nowise do. For they were aiad because of their ahicgitored thousa-ds, and, moreover, they zntw mat it is better to die than to live as slaves. Tula they saw aicO, that taeir host was still as strong as the host oi Pharaoh, which was without the wall, and weary with the heat and stress of battle and the toll of marching through the desert sands. Now, tne captains of toe host of Pnuraoh came to trie Wander er pray leg him trial ne would do no more battle on that day. b- cause the men wtre weary, and the horses neighed for food and wale:. But he answered their: ‘T swore to Pnaraoh that I would utterly smite the people of the Niuebows and diive them down to death, sotha;thcCoa.teofKhem may be free of them.

Now; the mere rsrif s of Pharaoh forced a passage on the rigor, and hither went ly attachment increased also. There was no one, except my mother, of whom I thought so much as I did of my brother. My father was a strange, cynical man, and a distant, dreaded parent. He was very rigid in discipline, and often, 1 fear, cruel to those over whom he exercised authority. My mother, on the other hand, .was vary kind and loving to her children, exercisiDg her authority gently but firmly, and always encouraging us with a smile or kind werd in the per formunce of our duties. Our father rarely spoke to ub except to scold us, and cons< q rently we became estranged from him as much as we were drawn to our mother. When I was abont ten years o!d, oae morning at the breakfast table I found my mother in tears, holding a piece of paper in her band on which was scrawled: “Dear Mother: I have 1< f: home, never to return, or, at least, until I can stay at borne in peace.

My father made no effort to h id my brother's whereabouts, passing the mat ter over » great deal more lightly than if it had tten one of the servants who had run away. We learned through tne servants tnat on the day previous to my brother's ae parture my father had treated him very cruelly while ou the plantation. So my brother’s determination to escape grew out. o: that treatment. For months and months I grieved after one who a I had learned to love with ail the warmth of my young heart.

Tne war, with all its attendant evils, rushed upon us, and 1, by this timegrown up, felt it my duty to volunteer in defense of n.y country. Being a Southerner, I was entnusen with all the hot blood of the S-utb, and euiisted in her defense. For something over two years I was subjected to tne vicissitudes of regular warfare 1 had seen all the pleasures and all tee miseries that camp life afford, had passed through the thickest of the battle without receiving a scratch. But no w 1 long-d for a change. I bad grown tired of t. e routine of soldier-life and wished for sopretbirg .-’Ore exciting. I therefore determined to visit the Federal camp as a spy.

On glancinging at the superscription, Captain Jones' color changed. Looking np, he said: “I thought you said your name was Thompson?” * Oh, I thought that name would do to be shot under,” returned I, carelessly. ‘‘My real name, Captain, t£ Wa'k-r, Henry Walker.” For some moments the Captain seemed deeply moved, and neither of ub spake. At last ne arose and said: “I snail be back at cine o'clock.

Now, it will b j necesiary for yon to obey orders, as you va.ue your life.'' For half an hour tne Captain remained with me, and at the end of that time the plan for my escape was all arranged.

MY DOG MARS, For the Scssv South: AST SUMMER A PARTY of young men from t prominent Missouri town went on an extended hunt in the wilds of Arkansas, nnd ss a matter of cc u rse landed in Porcupine Hoi low. Tne young men were full of sport, and when they came across one of the native “grays" they were very csreful to see all the fun possible at his expense; bat when they landed in Porcupine Hollow tl ey were almost exhausted over their tramp of twenty miles from the railroad station, and were as hungry as a sot of wolves. Then was a store and postoffiie com bined, a blacksmith shop, s saw mill and ‘ corn-cracker,” a hotel and eight cablnB stack on the side of the mour.tain, up the valley. ^ The hotel waa a story and a half log house, covered with roush clap-boards, and the store wm a 11x16 log hnt covered ! „ £ War-Time, Well- with plank and had a etiok-and-mnd Sagacity ol “ " ; n ,, —- chimney and dirt fl >or, wnlle the mill was merely a shed made of brush and ref use lumber, while the blacksmith shop was under the shade of a great elm tree which afforded ample pioteotion from the scorching rays of the summer sun. A half dozen men were seated on a log in front of the store when the party of hunters arrived. Etch of these opened his mouth and vacantly stared at the men as if he had nearer seen a human tid ing before in all their days; but not a ward did they atter.

Our p’cket iir,e was within a mile and a half or that o! the enemy. Tne night was moonKss an,! uncommonly dark, and thick, heavy e.ouns iii.cd ide vault overhead. Our own line was pissed at the post of a friend who knew my bnsineHn. and I was not iong in reaching the F.derar picket line. Before doing so, however, I donned my ci. z n suit and, using a heavy walking sties, feigned a limp ia my walk. Thus 1 boldly approached the guard. I was promptly ha.ted and my business de manat d. i told that I was a peddier; was several days out aud that while X had been abroad the F Ceral army had encamped between me and my home, which was only a short distance inside theiints. Taking hold of my satchel, the guard demanded the key. How my heart in at at tbit! I knew if be found my Confederate uniform my doom was sealed. Luckily i had placed my stock of mer chandise on top, and the outpost, bemg satisfied with a sopeiiiciai examination, to my iufi jits reifof returned my satchel to me and ordered me to pass, warning me, however, to get in next time before r.i^ht. Tnis I promised to do and hasten ed on. 1 now felt that 1 had better bury my Confcdera.e uniform, as my efleets would prob^biy be more thoroughly searched oefore 1 got away, and it might get me into trouble. The soldiers were al! astir, for it was yet earl; ; so I walked boldly into camp, feigning to be badty crippled, and ottered n y wares for sale. No one seemed to suspect mo, and after trading my goods for tobacco, and conversing with the soldiers until a late hour, I left for my own command. 1 had con reeled my soldier clothes be side a tali tree that I might And with eas.; but when I looked about me to lo cate it, I saw so many tall trees that I knew not which was the right one. For a time 1 was stealthily groping my way from one to another whose broad branches were barely discernible ageinst the murky vault above. I at last, how ever, secured iny uniform. I tad little trouble in passing the guards, and reach d my own command in Eafety, well pieased with my fi.-st venture as a spy. For some time I kept up this perilous business, growing bolder and bolder as the dangers weighed lass heavily upon my mind. In fact, 1 had no thought of the hazard connected with the ven ture, eo complete y was I wrapped up in my success thus far, and, besides, X was receiving for my services ample re muneration. But there came a time when 1 was less fortunate. It happened one night that I met the same guard whom I had passed before. His sus picions were aroused on hearing for the second time my story of being belated, and, worse still, on examining my satchel be found a letter I had received from an officer in reference to the very business then in hand. This letter I had forgot ten to destroy. By the bright light of a full moon the large round hand of the officer could easily be read At the point of the bayonet he marched me to the sergeant of the guard, I still keeping np my feint of being crippied. I was put under guard until tne next day, and then came the trial. The fatal letter condemned me, and 1 waa sentenced to be shot as a spy at the expiration of three days. 1 now realized the peculiar feeling one has on knowing the day and hoar he is to die. I had thought I could meet death with a great deal more firmness and com posure than I now felt would be the case on this occasion. I thought, too, or my mother, doating oa her son as a brave soldier, and how she would sorrow to think that her only boy should be shot asaspy! Short aa was my time, I had made no preparation for death. I wished to take a serious view of tko situation, to make peace with God and to meet death In a proper way; bat I could not collect my wandering thoughts, was sleepy, from not having slept the night before, and I fell into n profound slumber.

Tne biography of my dog “Mars” has never been written; but it sbouid oe, be cause he was nearly human in his intelli gence and possessed many traits that en titled him to remembrance long after death. “Mars” was bull aid setter, a cross which endowed him with beautiful black, j white and tan spots, and dimensions ! much greater than those of the ordinary | setter. He was born during the war, and j was originally cdltd Manassas after the battle of that name. It was in couse quence of this fact, I think, tnat his bull is a tendencies predom nated and oe 0s came irritable and a little treacherous towards those who presumed on h’s Co c'.llty to pat his h- ai or ; u'l his tail.

The family ia which Mars was raised consisted of four p rsons and seven cats, whose names were all ; known toMara. Oi this there was not the slightest d)ub;, for he was tested re peatedly and never eircd. If we said, Mars, go and kiss W-Uebaek. Jerry, Feu tarch, etc., he would at once select the designated cat and kiss it. Jerry always had a chair at the table jest beside my own, and I nave many times called Mars and, placing a plec j of meat ou his nose, sale: “Now, Mars, this is for Jerry.” He would permit Jerry to reach out his paw. and taxe the meat from his nose, and this without moving a muscle.

Now I am about to relate something which may stem incredible, but it is absolutely trne, undoubtedly, and proves the dog's understanding of th6 Snglish language. During the war, Mars, or Manassas, as he was then called—was permitted to stay iu the house that he might not be poisoned or killed. For sometime my grandfather had let him out at night, in ie ponse to his whines at his bedside. 1 had retired one night, when my grand father, who was fuz ing too unwell to get up to let the dog out, brought him early to my bedside ana said: “Now, Mars, if you want to go out to night, come to Marse Hjnry.” 1 laughed and turned over, pretty con fident of an unbroken re3t.

Here is a World’s fair suggestion which comes from a correspondent of The Chicago Tribune residing at Edin burgh, Scotland. He says: I think a separate unique building should be de* voted entirely to a display of the models of all the famous buildings and bridges of th* world—the Toj of Agra, British India; St Peter’s, Rome; House of Parliament; the Winter Palace, St. Pe tersburg; St. Sophia's Moeque, Constantinople; Oftlieeum, Rome, etc., and such bridges as the Joth bridge, London bridge, the Rialto, the iMdge of Sighs, Venice; the Bridge of the Holy jMnlty, Florence, and Trojan's bridge over the Danube. How few there are who will ever bavt •bechance of seeing all, or even a few, of these architectural triumphs scattered over the globe, ■ut there is a splendid opportunity of placing them In miniature before the eyes of every visitor to the Chicago World's fair.
