For the number of men engag ed, the battle of Hartsviile, Tt nu., during the war between the states, .vas perhrps one of the most des perate struggles of the war. Two companies of Gen. Hannon s brig ade aud a portion of Gen. Floyd’s command were pitted against the command of Gen. John A- Logan, late a candidate for vicespre*ideu<. So far as numbers were concerned, the c miiict was an unequal one, the federalsfar outnumbering the confederates The “rebs" were victorious, taking more prisoners than there were men in their com* maud. Among other Kenrucky boys who took part in the battle were Mr H. C. Fayne, and his brother. Mr. Lewis D. Fayne, of Fayette county. When the fed erals were routed, Gen. "-.ogan was the last to leav i the field. He was hotly pursued and scores of shots were fired at bis retreating form, and when >lO saw that he would either be killed or captured he threw himself from his horse, and laying nimself on 'he ground, fire downward, possutried” dca h. The two Paynes were together, and seeing him fall, and recogmz, ing him as an officer of high rank, ‘hey hastily dismounted, took his sword and papers, and, remount • ing tfieii horses, joined again the pursuing party, iteturuing again frjrm the cha.,e. tlje Paynes looked for the fallen officer, and found [1 ,that ,he had eitbei Leeu removed Ifr gone away of his own accord. When the papers were examined it was found mat the officer who had so cleverly escaped was. no other than (Jen. .fohn a. Logan. The jrupsrjs autl the sword were turned over to rteu. Hanson. This is a true story, which in tlie great vohtme'tf war literature has never before fouud a place Tbe Payne brothers; are still iiv ing in this cotintw and are among our teost honored and respected citizens.—Lexiugton (Ky.) Press. AX ANSWERED PRAYER a •FHAifsmvixa sketch. The sun shone bright and clear on the first snow of the season. It was Thanksgiving morning,and the first bell for church had just stopped ringing. $ A/iss Gwendoline Darley took up her bust Met, a fid examined it closely. ‘ UerriTnly verty shably, uathing to be thankful for. she though'. Then she went to the glass and looked at herself pm on the bonr.et, smooihed out the strings, and remained staring before her, lost in thought, till roused by (ue second bell for service. “My gracious !’’ she cried, “I must have beeu dreaming !’’ and started for the church on a run. She was not going ihere for any special purposes of thanksgiving, bui because she sat g in the chsir For the same reason it was impor tant she should be iu time. Tiit. dream tvhicu had come to hei that..morning was one of tbe girst—of her girlhood. The first bloom of her youth of! some time ago; in fact, might he said l to have rs sudden!; left her as Robb tVicKeasiey her lrver They departed Together. Her troubles all began through a iriiie —some flowers, a note or two, aud a few other attentions from the wrong person. Miss Gwendoline's lover wa s proud and liasiy. Miss Gwendo line herself was rather fend cf standing on het dignity, and a iits tie bit obstinate When her lover asked for the notes and an ex plan a tion, Miss Gwendoline refused him botfi. This susdiciou he consider ed an insult. A few more hasty words and he was ordered to leave ner; which ho professed himself delig 1 ted to da. Poor Miss Gwendp ii.t icb her heart break wheD tim door closed behind him. She had her dignity to maintain, howevrr, so no one, not even her mother, kr.evv how she felt on the subjec . Midnight tears, if judiciously m inaged, will leave no tracr Al ter much,hesitation, sue wrose him a little note of apology, and Hinted (bai if he were to a-k again foY an explanation he might siblv go. i‘. But “he who hesi a tes is lost," aud Miss (Jwerdohno’s note reached its destination just tweutysfour hours after the per*, son it was intended for had sailed for England, How well she could remember ftp* day when she found he had gooe, It was on a coUl, rainy’after uoou in November, while careless ly looking over the paper that she came acu ss a hti pi oulward bound passeifglft,* Incf’ among! them was bis name. At first she could earce'y bedeve here eyes, aud wertt to W wiifilow that she migh make the most of the fading , light. Never for a moment had she suppesod he would leave the country. It was so, however, lov there was his name. Unheeded, the paper fell to the floor, and Miss Gwendoline, with a sigh, rested her head against the window. The rin came down with a monotonous drip, drip, as if it never meant to stop Two or three forlone little sparrows were huddled together under the ■ eaves of the opposite roof, and Miss Gwendoline noticed how the j rain-drops, as tin y cU sel 1 acb other down the gmvs. would biur aud hide them Rom her sight. The day wns in harmony with feelings, ami she never forgot it A\. mat time she felt as if there was noihing more to live f r. Mis -n - ... j Our Own Section — He Labor FW. Its A(lcai'Ctut< nt.

Working hard from morning t>> night is not calculated A) keep eke young and pretty. Day after day for three weary years—years that seemed to have a thousand days, instead of only three hundred and sixty five—Miss Gwendoline trudged from house to house giving music lessons Day by day she saw her beauty fading before poverty and hard-* ship; Once, after her father’s death, sho» had written again to Robert McKensie, telling him alj he had ever wished te Ijouw She was much chaugofl' by her troubles, or would never have done a thing like that. The pride was forgotten, aifd n gnat long ing siezed her for some one to lean on, some!one' to take cate of aud comfort her. Yet another trouole came lo Miss Gwendoline, and then fiyfiTj tine, having done its worst, left her to what peace she could find ) 7'ired aud cold, one evening, she returned from her usual round of lessous to find the fire ou( in the' sitting-room, and tbe lights unlit. She parsed ac ihe door till she grew accoustomed to the dark ness. and ihen began to feel ber way across live room. After a few steps she slum Died. Her mother was lying ©u the floor at her feet - Without a word, she raised her tih the lignt ofa street-lamp outs side shone on the white upturned face. TVever afterwards, in trying to remember could she tell how long she kflel t there. A slow process ion of years went passing by‘ Y ars tbal had gone, there were more to come—time as regarded the future nad no existence. Through all her /rouble Miss Gwend.line had never shed a tear They say a silent tear is the hard e.,t. Batons duy, when looking / in the glavs, she found that her hair was turning q'fite grey. The* Miss Gwendoline bowed ho r head and wept. I vas a trifle, but it was also the last straw —the drop that, made the cup run over. For five years now she had been singing in the choir of St. Mark’s a d this was the first limeAhiit any thoughts of the pas liad %ver interfered with her duties. She reached the church just in time for the opening chant, and the leader gave her an angry look of relitf ns she took her seat. Whatever had come ovir her Miss Gwendoline couldn’t imagine The voices of tbe congregation sonneted miles away, and the only sertence of /he sermon that re ch ed her was tbe text, “Ask and it shall be g ven you.” “A k and it shall be given you.” kept ringing in her year-. A great; irresistible longing seized her for the love of her youth, and Miss Gwendoline's whole soul went foiih iD a voice ltss prayer that the happiness of the long dead past might be given back to her. Miss Gwendoline’s sold came during the offerin'*. As she rose il seemed to her that her prayei was answered, and she sang as she had never sang before - . “Praise to God. immortal praise’ For the love that Crowns our days’- During tbe service a man had listlessly entered the church and seated himself in ai oh mu re corn er. He glanced around at the con - gregation, then folded his arms, dropped his head upon his breast, and became lost in thought. At the first words he taised h’s head and looked eagerly abont < then he leaned forward and listen ed breathlessly till the end of the hymn. As soon as it was over he left the church aud weut around to the siue entrance where the choir came out.

The spring is in a valley of the wildest beauty. It is cir cular in form and perhaps 100 feet, iu circumference. The water t'a c eat and two feet die]). The tern perature during the fall is of blood warmth and during the remainder of the year icy cold. The beauti ful spritg eDtices the tired travel er or the mountain tramp to bathe in its wat rs. But the pleasant temptation conceals a deadly snare- Many luve bathed but it was ba/b of death. The bottom which, through the pellncid waters, seems to be composed ol a white sand al most marble-like in purity and polish, is in reality a sucking quag mire, and one* within i's clinging grasp there is no such thing as aid or e-cape. Mol without number luve pol ished in this fatal trip, tome with agrmized friends standing not metro t«, an a score of feet away and utterly powerless, While tlio spring is remote from any high road, or even any general trail, all around it is a noted buD/ing re gion. Oceasionly an unfortunate stranger finds himself oo the mar gin of this fatal spring, and yield* iug to its seduc ions plunges in i and is seen no mote His fate is a mystery, and is very probably . laid to the account of the savage I mountain /ion or the ferocious I silver tip bear.

Their fears were well founded, for ota following the trail over the brow of the slope, ahd at a point where 1/ pitched directly into tho deep’ A canyon, they found the huge ball 1 resting on the eof/ boughs of a recently fallen tree. A faint voice was heard calling “mama.’’ The pareu/s found the little feltoW al“ most completely enveloped in thi»' 1 snowball, with only a brettbia$ >f> 1 bole left to mark *he spot whore he was entombed.
