Where, botwean tha banks of mesa,
Stand the atepplng-atonea to cross.

All, so swift the waters run—
One false step 'twas all undone;
Mttle heart begins to heat,
Waring for the little feet,
Boon her fear will all be lost.
When the stepping stones are crossed,
Three more yet on which to stand—
Two more—one more—then on land!
’Tis the little lassie’s plea—
Wait for me, wait, for me!
Ah, for you, my laughing lass,
When the years have come to pass,
May One still be near to guide,
While you cross Life’s river wide,
When no helping hand is near,
Noue, if you should call, to bear—
Think, however far away.
Mother still knows all you say;
E’en in heaven heeds your pica—
Wait for me, wait for me!

HY AN EX-CONFEDEUATE.
When Johnston was falling hack before
Sherman’s advance through Northern
Georgia, and before the conflicts at Lost
and Pine Mountains, I was continually
on the front xvith a band of scouts. We
penetrated the Yankee lines time after
time, but always to return to headquarters
with the same report. Sherman had one
of the grandest armies in the world, and
iie xvas in such strength that he eouhl
light Johnston in front and pass his
flanks at the same time.
One day, when scouting between Mari¬
etta and Etowah ltiver, the Federal cav¬
alry passed and cut off my retreat by the
highways, and for six or seven hours I
was obliged to secrete myself in a thicket.
It was in leaving this hiding place that
I came across a dog which was doubtless
owned in the near vicinity, but had been
frightened into the woods by the skir¬
mishing. He took to me kindly,and had
dogged my heels for half an hour when
he suddenly leaped aside and begun paw¬
ing- the ground at the foot of a large
beech. 1 halted for a moment and saw
that the earth was fresh ns if a grave had
been dug. It was but natural to con¬
clude that some one had been shot near
by and that his comrades had given him
burial.
Upon closely examining the tree I
found the fresh-eut-lines: “D. 8. G.”
They were not where one xvould have
looked for them, hut within three feet of
the ground. I had no doubt whatever
that a dead man rested there, and I
picked up a club and drove the dogaxvay
under the impression that he was hungry
and determined to get at the body. I
succeeded after a couple of days in get¬
ting back into the Confederate lines, and
the incident did not recur to me for long
years.
One summer’s day in 1870, xx’hile I was
going from Rome to Cartersville, I formed
the acquaintance of a stranger xvho gave
his name as Charles Gains, and xvho
claimed to lie a Virginian. He said he
xvas looking for improved land, and had
been advised to locate near Marietta.
This story was straight enough, except
that I did not believe he was a Virginian.
He hadn’t the look nor the dialect, and
xvhen I came to quiz him about certain
locations around Richmond he soon be¬
came confused.
I was then a detective in the employ of
several railroad lines, and it was only
natural for me to ask myself why this man
had lied to me. I took pains to let him
know that I was xvilling to answer all his
questions, and directly he began asking
about the section of country between
Marietta and the Etowah. He wanted
to know tho value of land; if much forest
had been cleared since the war; if there
had been any finds of treasure around
Marietta, and various other things. He
worked the answers out of me without
seeming to he more than generally inter¬
ested, and xvhile I xvas somehow suspic¬
ious of him, could not exactly determine
on what to place my finger. But he had
lied. Why? I kept asking myself this
question, hut could not answer it.
He had a ticket to Cartersville, and be¬
fore we reached that place I had made up
my mind to go with him to Marietta.
What decided me was this; He sat on
the outside of the seat and a passenger
going to the water-cooler knocked his
hat off. It rested for a moment in the
aisle, and I plainly read the name “Bos¬
ton” inside in gilt letters. The name of
the maker was above it, hut I could not
catch it. No hat sold in Richmond
would bear the name of Boston. Where
did he get it? By and by I made a care¬
ful examination of his boots. He never
bought them south of the Ohio. I de¬
cided the same in regard to his clothing.
He xx-as trying to deceive me. What ob¬
ject could he have in view?
When we reached Marietta both of us
xvent. to the same hotel. I thought he
began to fight shy of me and I took pains
to keep out of his way. During the
evening he asked several townspeople iu
regard to tho country north of Marietta,
and engaged of a Hvtiy man u saddlc-
liorne for the next day, J did a heap of

thinking that night over the strnngcr’9
ease, but when morning came I was none
the wiser for it. His horse was brought
around after breakfast amf he rode off. I
was tempted to get another uml follow
him, but by what right? What had ho
done or what was he going to do? I
went up to my room on an errand, not yet
decided whether to go or stay, and in tho
hallway my foot struck a memorandum
book. I carried it into my room, and tho
first, thing my eye caught was the name
inside the cover, ‘‘George Paige.” It was
a well-worn book, and nearly full of en¬
tries. Most of them seemed to relate to
trips between Boston and Providence,
but near the back end I found one read¬
ing:
“About ten miigs north of Marietta,
Ga.; turn to right where highway bends
to left; go into wood* about ten rods;
look for twin beech tree, with initials ‘D.
8. G.’ cut low down.”
My heart gave a jump. That was the
spot where the Yankee cavalry run me
into hiding, and these were the initials I
had seen on the tree! Hud this stranger
come dowu to unearth a skeleton? I was
wondering over the matter when I heard
the clatter of hoofs and knew that he had
returned, lie had discovered the losa of
his book. Now, then, I did what you
may call a mean trick. I pocketed the
book, got downstairs without being seen,
and went to the nearest Justice and de¬
manded a warrant for the arrest of George
Paige for robbery. Before he had ceased
looking for his lost memorandum a con¬
stable made him prisoner. Meanwhile I
had engaged a horse and wagon, bor¬
rowed an empty tea-chest and a spade,
and, as Paige went t.o jail, I drove out of
town. I wanted to unearth that skeleton
myself.
It was six years since I had L$ft it, but
I had but little difficulty in finding the
grnve, although the beech tree had been
cut down. Indeed, I walked almost
straight to it, and, though the initials
were indistinct, they were there as wit¬
nesses, In half an hour I had unearthed
the “corpse.” lie, or it, consisted of a
rotten coffee-sack wrapped around a
moldy blue blouse, and inside the blouse
were three gold watches, $430 in gold,
$1,203 in greenbacks, half a dozen gold
rings, a line diamond pin, two gold
bracelets, a gold-lined cup, a full set of
cameo jewelry, a solid silver back comb,
and about four pounds of silver spoons
and forks, the whole find being worth tu
me nearly $8,000.
The stuff had been deposited there by
two or three or ]ierlirt)>s half a dozen fora¬
gers, and much of it had been stolen
front the dead on the battle fields.
When the treasure had been secured I
drove on to Cartersville, and from thence
sent the horse back and telegraphed to
Paige my regrets at his situation, as I
had discovered my mistake in accusing
him. He was held a day or two and
discharged. Ife rode out to the spot,
found the treasure gone, and left the
State without a word as to what his real
errand had been .—Detroit Free Press.
Genius of the Mexican People.
The Mexican government, poor as you
call it, nevertheless supports 10,000 pub¬
lic schools, where you can see the poor
Indian hoy with his slate ami primer, as
well as the young man or young woman,
solving problems in mathematics, chem¬
istry, etc., with facilities equal to many
colleges in the United Btates.
If you pass through the Academy of
San Carlos you will see pictures executed
by native Mexican artists in the highest
style of art, comparing most favorably
with any production of the academies
of design of Paris, Rome, Munich, or
elsewhere.
Go with me, if you please, to a narrow
lane in the small hut picturesque city of
Cuernavaca, and there in a small room,
working with iinpliments of his own
make, you will observe a native, xvhom
you would perhaps class among the peons,
carving a crucifix in xx-ood, so highly ar¬
tistic, with the expression of suffering on
our saviour’s face so realistic that any
foreign sculptor of the highest renoxvn
would he proud to call it a creation of
his own.
Again, visit with me the village of
Amatlan de los Reyes, near Cordoba, and
observe the exquisitely embroidered hui-
pilla of some native woman, surpassing
in many respects the designs of the ait
needlework societies of Nexv York or
Boston—not to mention the fine filagree
work, figures in clay and wax, as exe¬
cuted by the natives in or near the city
of Mexico, the art of pottery of Guada¬
lajara, the gourds, calabashes, and
wooden trays highly embellished by na¬
tive artists whose sense or acceptation of
art is not acquired by tedious study at
some academy of design, but is inborn
and spontaneously expressed in such
creations.
Only yesterday, in my walks about
town, I entered the National Monte de
Piedad, xvhere I heard the sweetest and
most melodious strains from agrand piano
of American make, and beheld, to my
astonishment, that the artist was a na¬
tive, a cargador, or public porter, clad
in cheap sombrero, blouse, xxhite cotton
trousers, and sandals, with his brass plot;
and rope across his shqyhlers, ready to
carry this very instrument on his back tc
