CABLING,
walked through a fragrant moon lit
We
f,ve’ and I, in the svreet jane
‘ weather, that watched
The eyes of the flowers
day their dewy lids together
q a d folded
The no j 8e of the day, and its toil and
its strife,
The calm of the night had caused to
cease ; 1
All the wortd seemed living its dreaming
life,
^ad over my soul stole its perfect
peace.
v. v love bent down his stately head,
And whispered too low for the flowers
to hear;
ffiras but one word, yet my cheeks grew
red,
And mv heart’s quick throbs I
almost hear—
’Twas the one word “ Darling,” yet by
it I knew
The best of life that a woman knows,
The silence echoed it thro’and through,
From the stais in the 6 ky e’en down
to the rose.
flhen June again its blossoms shed
My love and I by the alter stood,
When the words that made us one had
been said,
My love spoke low but I understood
And'withe that “ Darling ’ a vision blest,
Of the coming years stretched long
and fair,
|tfy heart had found love’s perfect rest
For peace hal taken Its dwelling there.
But when another Jane time came,
I cannot tel> if the world were fair,
For love and I, and one whose name
E'en brought a chill to the summer air
Walked slowly down to a darkling tide,
Where ‘ Darling ” I heard with my
lore’s last breath
And them I knew our ways m-st f divide ,. .,

with death. , ,
And when on.hie runic bps my xtsses
fell,

And I thins that surety his soul must
ha' e h ard
g„ I calmly wait through the Junes that
are
For a brighter June that is to b“,
When into his home that lies afar,
With ‘ Darling” my love shall welcome
me.—Chicago Inb r-Ocean.
HOW TO BECOME A LAWYER.
A day or two ago when a young man
entered a Detroit lawyer’s office to study
law, the practicioner sat down beside
him and said:
How, see here, If you don’t pan out
well I won’t keep you here thirty days.
Du you want to make a good lawyer ?
Yes, sir.
Well, now listers. Be polite to old peo¬
ple, be ‘ause they have the cash Be
good to the boys because they are grow¬
ing up to a cash basis. Work it with ie
porters and get puffs. Go to church for
the sake of example. Don’t fool aw y
any time on poetiy and don’t even
at a girl until you can plead a case.
yon can follow these instructions you
will succeed. If you cannot go and learn
to be a doctor and kill your best friends.

the wives and mothers and sisieis
and daughters of an army were more
enthusiastic and self sacrificing. To
the men of the south the war was
the solution ot a political problem.
To the women it seemed an attempt
of tho north to conquer and desolate
the country. They firmly and earn¬
estly believed that the south had long
been oppressed, and that the war
was at further abridge r ghts and
liberties. Believing thus it may be
safely asserted that nineteen out of
every tiventy women in the south
were Trojans in their courage,
Soart.an in their fortitude and
Roma.is in their faith and self-sac¬
rifice. Husbands and fathers and
brothers were made ready tor war and
govern a woman's blessing, and even
had tho Confederate con-cription act
been .less stringent the able-bodied
men who shirked rnilit ry service

and there was searely a battle on
Virginia soil with which women had
not something to do as the bearers of
information. Once enlisted in the
cause they did not know what despair
was. The^ sent their bedding to
lhe hospitals, their provisions to the
a ™y, and their jewelry to a buyer
of eotifedrate arms in Europe. When
the confederate government could
rot furnish rations the confederate
women did.
