Steady, boys, steady ! Keep your arms ready, God only knows whom we may meet here. Don't let me be taken ; I'd rather awaken, To-morrow, in no matter where, Than lie in that foul prison-hole over there. Step slowly I Speak lowly ! These rocks may have life. Lay me down in this hollow; We are out of the strife. By heavens! the foeman may track me in blood, For this hole in my breast is outpouring a Hood. No ! no surgeon for me ; he can give me no aid ; The Surgeon I want is pickax and spade. What, Morris, a tear? Why shame on ye man ! I thought you a hero; but since yon began To whimper a cry like a girl in her teens, By George! I don't know what it means ! Well ! well ! I am rough ; 'tis a very rough school, This life ofa trooper butyetl'm no fool ! I know a brave man, and a friend from a foe ; And, boys, that you love me I certainly know ; But wasn't it grand. When they came down the hill over sloughing and sand 1 But we stood did we not like immoveable rock, Unheeding their balls and repelling their shock " Did you mind the loud cry Wheu as turning to fly, Our men sprang upon them, determined to die ? Oh, wasn't it grand? God help the poor wretches that fell in that light ; No time was there given for praver or for tli-ht; They fell by the score, in the crash, hand to hand. j And they mingled their blood with the sloughing and sand. Huzza ! Great heavens ! this bullet hole gapes like a grave ; A curse on the aim of the traitorous knave ! Is there never a one of ye kuotvs how to Trav' ' . ,. Or sueak for a man as bis life ebbs away? Prav I "Pray ! Our father! our Father I why don't ye proceed ? Can't you see I am dving? Great God, how I bleed ! Ebbing away ! Ebbing away ! The light of the day Is turning to gray. Prav I "Prav f Our Father iu Heaven boys, tell me the rest, While 1 staunch the hot blood from this hole hi niy breast. There's something about a forgiveness of fin. Put that in ! put that i n ! and then 1 11 follow your words aud bay an auien. Here, Morris, old fellow, get hold of my hand ; And, Wihon, my comrade Oh, wasn't it grand When they came down the hill like a thunder charged cloud ! Where s Wilson, my comrade ? here, stoop down your head; Can't you say a short prayer for the dying and dead 'I " Christ God, who died for sinners all, Hear Ihou this suppliant wanderer's cry; Let not e'en this poor sparrow fall Unheeded by Thy gracious eye. Throw wide thy gates to let him in, And take lain pleading, to Thine arms; Forgive oh Lord! his life-long sin, And quiet ali his fierce alarms." God bless you, my comrade, for singing that hymn ; It is light to my path when my eye has grown dim. I am dying bend down till I touch you once more Don't forget nic, old fellow God prosper this war ! Contusion to enemies ! keep hold of my hand And float our dear flag o'er a prosperous land! J. W.

" mm KITTY IX THE TREE. BY MARION UENNINQ. " Why won't you tell me, Kitty?" "What a bother you are, Bert! Dont you see I'm buxy?" and her hands pulled industriously at tho weeds in the flower path. " But Kittj-, I have asked you forty times, and you will never toll me yes or no." "Then stop asking, you old goose." "I won't stop asking, "Kitty, for I believe " " Well, what do you believe ?" " That you love me there!" Kitty Landon tossed her pretty head saucily. Even if she had never told him so and what right had ho to know ? She liked him better than any one else; so she only opened wide her big blue eyes in seem ing astonishment, saying: "Indeed, Bert, you surprise me IIow "cam you to catch 6uch an absurd idea?" " But Kitty, honestly now won't -ou be my wife some day ?" Kitt''s cheeks burned scarlet, but she turned away her head and walk ed up tho path without even deigning Master Bert a word, and he tur ned away to the long, waving fields 01 grain where he had been at work since morninir, muttering: " She does like me, I know it ; and 1 won t give her up, and she shall answer me before three days see if she don t! and ho nodded compla cently at the threat cradle winch had laid low the lonp- even rvo so swill- Kitty tripped past the field ten minutes alter, swinging her shiny tin pail, on her way to the berry patch 111 the meadow. " I niess Bert knows now I don't love him very much," she said, ben ding down where the berries looked like little drops of blood inthe grass " I don't care ; ho needn't think he knows evervthiner. How nice the berries arc! 1 am shure I shall get a pailful. Hark ! what was that? Oh. mv! for Heaven's sake what shall I do?" Kitty's face was turning pale, her liernes were spil cd and she was looking across the meadow with fear depicted 011 her face. Yonder the fence was down between the pastures, and TJ.'scle Jerry's big black bull was coming under a full spread ot canvas, frightfuli-. roaring and bellowing Kitty was a coward, and the bull was cross she knew. What would become ot her ? She could never reach tho fence before he would be near enough to toss her over on his iio:-n.s. Ah, there was a way! and Kitty's face brightened in a moment. She had road of heroes climbing trees to escape ferocious beasts. ."Thunder" tho name given to the animal in compliment to roaring ability was a ferocious beast, and if Kitty could'nt be a hero bhe could be a heroine.Within reach was one limb of tho old tree near which she wasstanding; and as Thunder's madness seemed to increase as he drew near she gave a little spring and grasped the stout limb. Never heeding tho great rents in her dress, torn in her hasty attempts to ascend, she climbed out of reach of tho bull, who no doubt wished he could climb a tree as well. Although safe, Kitty was yet alarmed; for Thunder, finding he had lost tho pleasure of carrying her riding on his horns, executed a sort of fandango about the tree to the tuno of his own elegant music. Kitty looked toward the rye field, and clasped her hands in delight; for Bert was coming with tho do; Bruno, who would speedily send her "bull-y performer" back to his rightful domains. After his dogship had executed his master's wishes in regard to the bellowing Thunder, Bert approached Kitty's perch with a grave face. His axe wa lying near, and without informing Kitty ofhis intentions he clipped ort' the limb which had enabled her to climb the tree. "Take me down, Bert," she said. "Why did you chop off that limb, when I could have got down alone, j with its help?" Bert turned round, and, with the most perfect sang froid, answered: "Miss Kitty, now you cant get down, unless I help you, and that I will do, if you promise to marry me just two weeks from to-day.- Oh. Kitty, please say yes." Kitty tunred away her bead, saying : " Bert, you ar teasing mo now and I have a mind to cry." "Oh no, Kitty, I don't want to tease you, or have you cry not for worlds. Only say yes." "I won't till I get ready," answer ed the little Miss, somewhat angriM'. I must go to my work said Bert, as he slowly marched off.- Kitty looked after him and thot' how Aunt Nannie would scold, if she learned t hat she had been in the berry meadow, with the pasture bars down. She also thought of the love Bert bore her, and and how she liked Bert; and of the big bull, who might come back any minute. "Bert! Bert !" He turned and came back. . "Will you-promise, Kitty?" 'b s'posol'll have to," sho pouted. mw "Of course answered Bert. "Then, you won't tell Aunt Nan nie 1 ve been here? "No, upon my word I won't." "Well, then, take me down." ' "Not till you promise ." "Oh Bert how can I ?" "By saying I will msirry you in two weeks.' " Kitty bent down her head and half whispered : , " Yon mean old tease, I'll marry you in two weeks from to-day." In a moment she was standing orf the ground, her face in the great hands of Bert, which held it up" while he kissed tho red berry-.stained lips. : . . "ou'll never be sorry," said he. "Sorry for what?" asked Kitty, blushing to the tips of her little pink ears. "Sorry for saying those words," he answered, releasing her face from between his hands. Kitty went home, and never regretted the promise thus forced from her. So she has said a hundred times, as we know tho honest young farmer made her a good husband. Regularly Sold. t Two gentlemen from New York, one of whom had been in California nearly a year and the - other just arrived, wcro accidently overheard in tho following conversation at tho Sutter House, Sacramento: The new comer was lamenting his condition, and especially two beautiful daughters who were just budding into womanhood when he asked the other if he had a family. "Yes, sir, I have a wife and six chddrcu in New York, and I never saw ono of them." After this the couple sat a few moments in silence, and then tho intcr-rogater again commenced : "Were you ever blind?" "No, sir." ' Another lapse of timo. "Did I understand you to say, sir, that you had a wife and six children living in New Yo -ic, and had never seen one of them V" "Yes sir,. I so stated it." Another long pause of silence. Tli5n the interrogator again inquired : "How can it be sir, that you never saw one of them V "W113- was the response, :one of them was born after 1 left." 'Ok! :th !" and a general laugh followed. 9 After th.it tho first New Yorker was especially distinguished as the man who had six children and nev er saw one of them. Tlic C'liicltcn-Orens. u Egypt has long been noted for the multitude of its chickens hatch ed by artificial heat. The eggs aro stowed away by thousands into great ovens, heated to a degree cor responding to the warmth of the parent hen, and in due time, though eggs are close things, the chickens 1 do come out. This business is still carried on quite extensively. Tho eggs are placed in largo ovens, upon mats of straw, tier upon tier. A building containing from twelve to twenty-four ovens is called a maa-mal, and receives at one time about one hundred and fifty thousand eggs. A number of years ago, an official report to the Government gave in lower Egypt alone one hundred and five of these establishments, using up annually over nineteen millions of eggs, of which about six millions are spoiled in hatching, and from the balance, about thirteen millions of chickens aro produced. What a privileged class of hens they have in this country ! More than a mil- ion and a half of them are saved tho trouble of hutching their own chick ens, and a vast amount 01 toilsome iabor in rearing their broods. They seem to walk about like little aris tocrats, for they have nothing to do but lay their eggs and cackle over them for joy." ;I!cv. D. A. .Randall. A Port Washington, Wisconsin, paper of last w eek says : Last Saturday was" the big day with us in the wheat trade, the receipts amounting to 0,829 bushels.

Thero are many families, the members of which are, without doubt, dear to each other. If sickness or sudden trouble, falls on one, all are afflicted, and make- haste to sympathize, help and comfort. ; But in their daily life and ordinary intercourse there is not only na ex-expression of affection, none of tho pleasant and fond behavior that has, perhaps, . little dignit' but which moro than makes up for that in- its Aweetness ; but there is an absoluto hardness of language and actions which is shocking to every sensitive and tender feeling. Between father and mother, and brother and sister, pass rough and hasty words ; yes, and angry, words,- fsr moro frequent than words of endearment.- To sec and hear them, o.he would think that , they hated, instead of loved each other. It does" Hot seem to have entered into their beads that it is their duty, as it should bo their best pleasure, to do and say all that they possibly can for each other's good and happiness. . "Every one for himself, and bad luck take the hindermost." The father orders and growls, tho mother frets, ctomplains, and scolds, the children snap, snarl, and whine, and so goes tho day. Alas ! for it, if this is a type of heriv-en ! as "the family" is said to' be at least, it is said to be tho nearest thing to heaven of anything on earth. But tho spirits of selfishness, of violence, render it more like tho other place yes, and this too often, even when all the members of the household aro members of tho Church. Where you see when you know it one family where love and gentleness reign, you see ten where they only make visits, and this among Christian families as well as others. Now, it is a sad and melancholy-thing to "sit solitary" in life, but give mo a cave in tho bowels ot the earth, give me a lodge in any waste, howling wilderness, where foot nor face ot irumau being ever came, rather than an abode with parents, friends or kindred," in which I must hear or utter language which causes pain, or where I must sco con duct which is not born of love. No wealth, no advantage of any kind, would induce me to live with people whose intercourse was of such a nature. The dearer they were to me, the less would I remain among them, if they did not do all they could to make each other happj. With mere strangers one might en-dure, even under such circumstances, to remain for a time; for what thej say or do has but limited effect upon one's feelings; but how members of the same family, children of the same parents, can remain together, year after year, when every day they hear quarrelling, it they do not join in it, and when hard words fly on all sides of them, thick as hail, and the very visitors in their house are rendered uncomfortable by them, is indeed a niysteiy. "Count life by virtues : these will last, When life's lame, foiled race is o'er ; And these, when earthly joys are past, Shall cheer us on a brighter shore." A Mixed Affair. A Dutchman thus describes an accident which be-fel him : Yonce, a long time ago.

A clergyman in the West, catechising the youth of his church, put tho question from a ea-tceh.isrw to a gi rl : " What is yoti'r consolation in fife and death ?' The girl smiled but did not answer.

Finally she said she would marry whichever of them could show the whitest hands. With a sneer at the blacksmith tho dandy held out his palms, white from idleness. The poor blacksmith hid his brawny hands in his pockets, then drawing them forth full of bright silver coins he sprea-d them over his dusky fin-fiers. Tho girl decided that his fingers were the whitest. Lillte Miffs. Some editor s.-vys that the destiiij' of the world often hangs on the smallest trifles.
