It la bad tnannera to afflict the public
with your troubles, bat nevertheless I
am sick, sure enough sick—been in bed
two days, off and on—up and down—
grunting around with my month open,
for I can’t breath any other way. Got
the big head, and my eyes and nose are
weeping, and there is neuralgia In my
face, and my teeth that have been ont
for ten years are aching. Got wet the
other day and didn't change my clothes
because Mrs. Arp wasn’t here to make
me. She has been gone for nearly two
weeks nursing some of the sick children
at Rome and we are running the
machine. I used to could get wet and
then dry myself by the fire but I can’t
now. I’ve caught cold all over. There's
a pain In my breast or my diagram or
diaphram or epigram or whatever they
call it, and these children have got my
aged bos cm plastered all over with tur
pentine and Uinnel. They found some
capsules in a box and made me take
them because it was medirice and was
in mamma’s drawer. I’ve no idea what
it was, but I can’t be worsted. I took
them heroically and said let’em rip. I
got to thinking about wills and codicils
and what, would become of the family
and who won d wake up the children In
the morr.ii g and get them off’ 10 school.
Wno wcu a keep un the supplies? Who
world no this and du that, and I dropped
off to sleep and dreamed that I was dead,
and that gentle hands hid hurritd mo
into on elevator that reached from earth
to heaven, and »t was crowded with dis
smbodttd sp'rtis whom I did not know.
Toey hid via ble firms and 'acts, but
iaelr msteriil bffiLs were gone and
they p-si-ed tbrougc each other without
impediment.. Ana these are spirits o'
the dead I thought, ana I wonoered if I
too was a spirit. 1 to, ked at my bands
and they se mao to Lie there; 1 tried to
cla-p them and found them <in*y shad
ows— pictures of hands. I touched
my cuetk aud it was not there.
Timid y I touched the form of
one beside me and there was
nothing to touch. An angelst.jod by the
golaen cord tuat seemed iO run the ele
vator, and I said:
“YVoeco are you gning?’’
-‘To the city of Jerusalem,” said he,
-‘the holy city. Tills elevator reaches to
the lowest gats.”
“To H >aveu?" said I.
“Ycb,” be replied, “lo the lowest
Hsaven. Only the saints go higher.
There is another el-vat >r for tnem ”
“Tia.uk trie g-ot L ,rd lor his mercy,’’
thought I ana I fait ca in and serene
beyond all expre-si >n. By the time we
werd up am mg the -tars and I was about
to inquire how moc * farther w< had to

* THE cm.
They mined God’s fair footstool of earth,
as ants to men to Him were they.
They B oiled and hurried back and forth
And burned their bricks of moulded clay.
Then e’en In nature’s loveliest fields,
ny green wood, sunny stream and sward,
1 hey crossed the guileless paths are yields,
And built up walls before the Lord.
By chance I strayed their streets smong.
And met with strlvi g throngs of men;
1 lie strange air b ire some mystic wrong—
A set look marred all faces; then,
I paused perforce to ponder—slow
The smote of ancient Pagan fires
i heir subtile odors seamed to blow,
To mock the cit, fames and spires.
At length along I stemmed the throng—
A babel clamor came to me;
I found the tokens which belong
To idols and idola ry.
Cl'nk! clink! In marts and offices,
Gljna! cliukl the coins their dropping told
Idolaters were heaping these
Their ofl’erin s to their Idol, goldl
Mad worshippers! Was there not one
lo see beyond liis stripe of ssy
a no full arch grow s. and fields of sun.
Ills mother’s homestead Bioping nigh?
Alas! -c’ink, clink!—t.o her, or him
Without the Idol offering,
Though high her mind, thu’ bright his aim,
The rich gave scoru and taunting sting.
I saw pass down the peopled way
A mai.ien poor, but fair indeed.
Wealth leered ami smiled, • ud said, ‘ heyday
My pretty onel" Then conned her need.
Another came with wanton pace
And glance—unon her garment 'g fold.
And 'round her low neck's uak-d grace
The show ol shame—her symbol gold.
I saw the fevered haste, the pride;
The sin of tnose idolaters:
It rau the mans aud streets—and wide
The good, toe gifted felt the curse.
Aside they echoed with the Press
“Higo honor to the brotherhood
Of Toll!" They passed it, nevertheless,
Indifferent, with aversion rude.
A painter gave bis canvas gleams
Aud Hues of Heaven and Paradise;
A poet sang and, from nis themes,
The world and life took better guise:
But ‘Down upon them!” bitterly
The Idolaters sent up theory;
•'These poor! who feign to know, and see
Refinements that we caunot buy."
Yet more and more I beard and found,
And darker woes I understood;
The city air rose sad with sound
As o'er a laud a swelling flood.
The griefs of half-paid toil; the yells
Of victims stabbed for gain; the wild,
Hoarse shouts of robbers shut In cells;
Tne sufferings ofa friendless child;
The noiseof dreary bidden stums;
Wild sounds of dance from virtue hid;
The brawl of utirs for shares aud sums
Above a father's colli u tid
Then out I passed, and on beyond,
Where fair, unmocke’d,God’sg.oryshows,
From sky to ground, from bound to bound,
And bio vu on every breath t 'at blows.

TU ART’S ride around Me
CleUan's army on the
Peninsula In June, 1862
accomplished much of Im
portance In a military
sense, and it undoubtedly
suggested to the dashing
cavalryman and to his
chiefs that long rides could
be made within the ene
my’s lines, resulting in the
destruction of valuable
stories, the severing of
communications, and the
gain of valuable informa
tion about the opposing force. The Pe
ninsula raid was made by two regiments
of about 1,200 men, and ended in a scare
for the Union camps, the temporary ob
strnction of the railroad supplying the
Union army, and tho wounding of some
Union soldiers and passengers by a vol
ley fired Into a moving train. It made
Gen. Stnart famous, and no doubt sug
gested to General Lee the nse'Yhat might
be made of each expedition in campaigns
favorable for Incarslons across the lines.
A tempting situation was noted some
months later, arur the battle of Autie-
tam. The armies of McClellan and Lee
lay on opposite sides of the Potomac
river, above Harper's Ferry. McClellan
was refitting and recruiting the Army or
tne Potomac, and, wltn a depot of sap
plies at Hagerstown, was dependent for
rapid communication with the north on
the railroad running thence from Harris
burg, Pa., by way of Cbambersburg. The
latter was from 30 to 40 miles inside of
McClellan’s lines. Oi tne 8;h of Goto
ber General Lee instructed Stnart to
take 1.200 or 1,500 mounted men and pro
ceed to tnat point, destroy the railway
bridge of the Can ococheague and other
wise damage the Union transportation,
makiDg any legal captures within his
power. Stnart s lected 1.800 men and a
battery of flying artillery. Hts subordi
nates were Wade Hampton, W. H. F.
Lee and W. E. Jones. When the troops
were In line, ready to move off in adense
darkness, the following erder was read
to them: •

do any good. Your fo ks took nine
blooded horses from my father's stable.”
For a feint Btuart moved rapidly to
ward Gettysburg, then turned Booth. At
Emmettsbdrg the Southern flag was
greeted with cheers, and the men had an
ovation. A U aion courier was captured
here with despatches snowing that the
Ualonforoes wen in strength at Fr id-
eiiok, and thus warned, Stnart made an
other detonr, avoiding that town. As ho
drew near the river and the line of Me
Clellan’s communications with Washing
ton, tno situation became critical. Be
fore daylight the same day, October 11,
Gen. Pleasanton gathered his scattered
command, and set it in motion on 8tn
art’s rones North, keeping aoonte. how
ever, well to the northeast. He soon
learned of the retrograde movement, and
faced his men about, aiming to reac i the
Monocaey ahead of Smart, whom he sue
pected would go toward PooleavUle.
In avoiding Frederick by the eaat Stu
art crossed the Monocaey above that
town, while Pleasanton, concentrating at
Frederick, crossed that stream just be
low, and poshed on toward the Pooles-
ville road by way of Barnesvllle. Stnart
was at this moment doging still, and
having heard that a Union force under
Gsn. Stoneman was guarding PooleavUle
he decided to cross over to tne Monoea ;y
again. His advance was preceded by 153
men ia Uaion uniform. Pleasanton’s
advance squadron met them on tbe
Barnesville road, exchanged friendly
signals and allowed tnem to draw near.
Then the Confederate leader, Irving, of
Lie’s brigade, ordered hie qnadron to
enarge. It was done coldly, and a cloud
of sharpshooters sprang from their hors
es and advanced on the supports wnich
8io jd behind the Union cavalry. In a
twinkling Stn art’s hone battery came to
the spot and opened, driving Pleasan
ton’s men back to the Monocaey.
Bapldly no « Stnart again changed his
coarse In Whites Ford, Dec ween Pooles-
vide and the Monocaey. Here he ran
npon 200 infantry posted on a ridge, fac
lug the other way and covering the foid.
A gun was placed in position, 70 riflemen
demonntea, and a swift dash across a
ravine and np the slope surprised and
scattered tbe picket, aud the cavalcade
rode on. Cannon were planted at the
Ford to cover the crossing in case of at-
tacx, ana In single file tue party moved
across, prec d.d by another cannon,
whlon was posted on her height beyond
the river. Meanwhile the Uoips at
PooleavUle under 8 lode man had been
aroused, and were on the march np tbe
river. They united with Pleasanton’s
cavalry only to see tbe Confederates
across the river, and to he greeted with a
saucy good by saints from the gallant
Pea, am, who commanded Stuart’s flying
cattery.
The raid was over. Stnart had not
lost a man, but brongnt back some
wounded. He bioagnt in 1,200 led horses,
the pick of the rich farming country
Lhrougn which he had ridden. Tue con
sternation in the North was very great,
and the authorities blamed one another
for the Humiliating result.

iEither is correct, the preference, If any, bein

"Half" father or mother would not sound well.
2. Moss grows dense upon every variety

Most literary and many news papers accep t

as aids to their circulation or reputation or are
likely to gr-atly entertain their readers.
Another class of writings o’ten paid for are

for the enjoyment of their worx. _ It wouTd
