Twenty Years Ago.
BY ilES. S. T. BERUY.
The springtime has come again , "Will,
As In the years of yore.
The maple'treesare leafing ont
Before the cottage door ;
And the glad birds have coraeagafn,
Singing thelrmerry glees.
Building their nests, rearing their young.
Up in our maple trees.
The silver brook is dancing, "Will,
Along Its pebbly war,
And on lis rocky islands now
The.llttle children play;
I've watched them atthelrsport this morn
The fashions come and go
ButTJlays are Just the same as ours .
Were twenty years ago.
The children have their play-house. Will,
Just where ours used to be ;
They have their broken bits of ware,
Their acorn enps for tea.
The boys split wood and build theflres,
Just as you did yen know.
When we kept house upon those rocks
Some twenty years ago.
The woodbine climbs the lattice, Will.
IVnd'hides the porch fromisight.
Ito you remember how It stood,
Not much beyond our height?
I marked the place where your head came.
You marked the place of mine
But yon and I have grown some, too,
Since that far-off springtime.
We have never met since then, Will,
As man I know you not ;
The black-eyed 6037 of those jjlad days
Has never been forgot.
While sitting in your mansion grand
With your pmud wife to-day,
I wonder if there comes a thought
Of "wee wire" Katie Gray.
MULI'S TATE.
"Thfere swims no goose so gray but soon or
late
Will And Eome honest gander for a mate."
And swinging her feet doleful
from her perch in the big apple tree,
MHl3r made a wr3 fuce, and then con
tinued her so!iloqu :
"I, MilHcent Middleton, aged nine
teen, big enough, old enough, and ug
ly enough" aud there the witch
laughed ; she knew she was not ugty
' to fall in love, and dying to do it
for the sensation, and, oh, dear! no
body to fall in love with ! Now, I
shall imagine this tree 103' lover. Oh

But, alas! as she turned to embrace
the monstrous limb, ay she supposed

in a moment more was on her wa3T to
the ground, "to be killed," fished
through her mind, and then blank.

sty Milly peeped ont under her lashes
to see who was holding her so softty

j 'Oh!"and snap went the lids to
I gether again, and Mill's prett3
j cheeks became a decided scarlet.
"Never mind, dear," said a sooth
ing though decidedly manly voice.
Now, that was too much. M1II3 sat
straight up then, but with a groan,
sank back. "That horrid ankle, how
it did hurt!"
Walk she could not, so as soon as
she gained courage to speak, she op
ened her e3'es and said :
"Oh, sir, I am so sorry to trouble
you. Did I fall and kill "mj-self ?'
Then, noticing a smile on the
I stranger's lip5, for a stranger it was.
though alas! for romance, a decided
ly horned one, she added :
"Oh, please do not laugh at me! T
live in that white house at the top of
theliili. Won't 3ou go for some one
to take me'home ?"
"I beg.your pardon. Miss, I do not
like to leave 'ou alone. If you will
allow me, I will take j'ou home my
self." And suiting the action to the words

1 started for the house, and almost be
fore MHI3 had time to speak again,
he had reached it, and walking in at
the open door, laid her on the sofa in
the hall, touched his hat, and was
gone.
Then Milly laughed laughed until
she cried notwithstanding the terible
pain in her ankle, until the stern face
of her aunt appeared over her, de
manding an explanation. She then
sat up to give it, and with a groan
pointed to her foot.
"I fell aud hurt myself, and that
man picked me up and brought me
home. Oh, my ankle!
Then Btern Aunt Barbara softened
a little, and beut to explore.
The poor little foot was badly swol

in the cool, comfortable sitting-room,
sbeagain demanded ;
"MilHcent, an explanation!"
Again Milly laughed, but seeing
the thunder gathering, and knowing
what the clap would be, she meekh
straightened her face and eaid :
"I was in the apple tree, Aunt
.Barb, and fell ont, and Iguess I faint

man had picked me up, that is all,"
(with a mental reservation in regard
to the "Never mind, dear') p.nd then
she laughed again.

to
be seen, she fell back and went
Bleep for diversion.
Now I 9hall tell you all about her.
Milly was pretty, very pretty,; not
a beautiful, stately creature, but a
pretty little witch, with curly brown
hair, laughing brown eyes, pink
cheeks and rcey lips, an undecided
nose, a dainty foot and dimpled hand,
a merry nature, a foolish little heart
that was goodness itself, and a will
ful, winning way. And Milly was an
orphau. Her parents having died,
she was left an Independent little
sprig to be grafted into the hard hearts
of her coss uncle and strong-minded
aunt ; but so tb.0raugb.l3 was she
grafted, so thrivingly did Bhe grow,
that in her corner of the hearts the
ice melted and sunshine came in.
The cross uncle would smile and the
stern aunts frown fade when she was
near. She did as she pleased and
pleased all; a romantic little piece,
whose piece of romance was to crime
Milly woke up, and after tea, was
moved out on the wide, breezy veran
da, and while sitting idly turning the
leaves of a book and wondering why
she could not have a handsome hero
like the beauty therein, she was startl
ed 03' the latch of the gate. and. look-
ing up, beheld "tnat man
1"
walking
coolly toward her.
Milly smiled and murmured "Oh
dear !" to herself, then stretched out
ber dimpled hand, and had just said,
"Good evening, please let me thank
3ou," when she beheld Aunt Barba
ra's stern face in the door, and Milly
was frightened.
No need ; he walked over to Aunt
Barbara and said :
"Pardon me, madam, I called to in
quire for your M
"My niece." said Aunt Barbara.
"Whom I found in the orchard this
morning. I trust she is not serioush
hurt," and after presenting his card,
with a polite "Allow me," to Aunt
Barbara, he turned to MHI3'.
Aunt Barbara's face softened visibly-
after reading the name, and turn
ing immediately to Milly. she said :
"MilHcent. this is Dr. Vanbourg,
from New York ; thank him for his
trouble ana kindness."
"As if I were an infant," thought
Milly, and was silent.
Then Aunt Barbara, finding Milly
disposed to be grum, settled herseif to
talk to the gentleman, and Alilly
watched.
OTi"! wnalblue ej-es Tie tiaVfutrd-rytael
such big ones, too ! I am afraid of
them," said Mill3' to herself. "I won
der how big his wife is, for he must
be married, he is forty or fifty, I
guess," thinks Milly.
Then the big blue e3es are turned
on her and the deep voice says :
"Are you fond of jreading, Miss
Middleton? . I have some of the lat
est novels with me, to which 3ou are
welcome to while awav 3-our invalid
hours," then adds: "I have also a
cop3'ofPope. Should 3011 like it?"
' PoorMill3! Again her face burn
ed. "There swims no goose,' flashed in
to ner mind. He must "have heard
her! 'The horrid old gander!' Then
aloud : 'Thanks, I have all th& read
iug I con manage.'
Then she contemplated, the sunset.
The blue eyes smiled and turned to
Aunt Barbara.
Evening after evening passed and
still Milly was propped up with 'that
everlasting ankle,' and ever3 evening
the blue eyes of "Dr. Vanbourg smiled
on her while he conversed with AuDt
Barbara. Milly fumed inwardly, but
nevertheless liked to watch tne 'great
ugb gander,' as she st3'led him. But
when he spoke to her, she only ans
wered politely, then contemplated the
sunset.
'lam uot a baby, and will not be
treated as one,' she soliloquized
(M1II3' was fond of soliloquiziug.)
At last, one evening, when Milly's
ankle was'nearly well, Aunt Barbara
was called away, t.nd she waB left
alone with Dr. Vanbourg. Of course
she must be polite and entertain him,
so she said sweety :
'Dr. Vanbourg, won't you tell me
what your wife is like ?'
The doctor looked astonished, and
Milly blushed and felt very foolish,
but the doctor was equal to the occa
sion. He rose from bis chair and went
toward her.
'Milly,' he said, I have no wife,
but I want one ver3 badl3'. Will you
come, dear?' and he reached out his
great arms.
'Poor little Milly !' 'The great big
ugly gander!' she said to herself;
then turned to him with
e3Tes :
flashing
'I won't be made fun of! I hate
3'ou ! Go away!' 'and before either
could speak, but not before Bhe saw
the pained, sorrowful look in the big
blue e3es, Aunt Barb appeared, ad
all became serene.
In a few moments the doctor rose
to say good night. He went to Milly,
and taking her hand before she could
refuet it, said bo low that even Aunt
rfisrb's sharp ears could not bear :
The next morning Milly heard that
Dr. Vanbourg had left for New York.
Did shelaugh then? I am sorry to
say Milly oried, all to herself, though,
in her cosy little white-curtained
room.
After that life at the while farm-
Ihouse was the same as usual, until!
" T . , , " ,-T
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1877.
one after-noon, sitting in the great
kitchen, Milly was watching Aunt
Barbara make -pies not a romantic
employment, but the result was al
ways good and right in -the midst of
it a letter was brought in, post-marked
New York.
Milly's heart gave a jump, and wo
man like, she was dying with curiosi
ty in a moment.
Aunt Barbara eyed the letter, shrug
ged her shoulders, and -laid it aside.
.Milly peeped.
'Could it be from Dr. Vanbourg?"
.Tbeu her face burned, and she
pinched herself under the table.
'No; it's a lady's writing, evident
Then she thought of her Aunt .Lau
ra her fashionable aunt who lived in-,
New York.
'What does she want?' she asked
herself.
By this time the pies were in the
oven,.and Aunt Barbara, after wash
ing her hands and hunting for the
sensors, cut open the letter and read
it deliberately. Then she looked at
Milly, and, smiling grimry handed it
to her. Milly devoured it.
'Dear sister." it ran, 'Milly i3 now a
young lady grown, and" I think it
time Bhe saw something of the world
Cap you not lend her to me for the
coming winter? My daughters, as
3'ou know, are all married, and I am
alone. Let her come tne first of next
month ; that will give her time to
complete her winter outfit before the
season fairly opens. Do not refuse
me.
Then followed some famih news
that Milly did not stop to read, but
jumping up, threw her arms arodnd
Aunt Barbara's npek, and begged,
'Oh, please let me go !' until the stern
lips smiled and ber aunt consented.
Then for the next few weeks she
was In a dream. The 'gander' disap
peared from her thoughts, and even'
word she spoke was of the coming
winter.
October at last flew past, and one
bleak day in November Milly, fresh
and rosy. In a natty little traveling
suit, arrived in the crowded, bustling
cit3 of New York.
A busy-looking gentleman met her
at the depot, who, after giving her a
cordial greeting, said he was 'Uncle
Charles.' aud told her she must not
let her little head whirl or her heart
be stolen 113 thegiddines3 of New
York. Then hustling her into a car-
Tie gTacitrrcr - otircurtuc -
coachman and left her.
Milly wa3 in bliss, and onlj" when
she had been welcomed by her aunt,
and had reached the delicious little
room assigned to her, did she stop to
think where she was, aud then realiz
ing it all, she threw off her wraps and
whirled round and round before the
long dress! ng-gla33 in the merriest
and most innocent of can-can3. Mil
l3''s time flew she never knew where,
and after a few weeks of shopping and
all the delights attending the rounds
of dress-makers, hat-makers, boot
makers, and even other kind of mak
ers, she was raised to the seventh
heaven by being informed b3 her aunt
that invitations had been issued for
her'coming out partyV as Milh in
sisted upon calling it. Then a few
days more and Milly stood in the long
brilliantly-lighted parlors bowing to
herself in the many nlirrora around
her. -
Let me describe her as, turning like
a doll on a pedestal, she awaits ber
admiring aunt's inspection. She is
dressed in a long clinging dress of
pink silk, her plump shoulders aud
rounded arras vieing in whiteness
with the pearls that clasped them.
Her prettycurls twisted in a loose coil
and the ends allowed to caress the
white neck, and little rings to dance
above the smooth brow. Her e3es
sparkling, her mouth smiling, dim
ples pla3'ing hide-and-seek in herrosj"
cheeks. Altogether a perfect picture
of bewildering, beautiful girlhood.
'Milly, sweet, you are charming!'
exclaimed ber aunt.
Then Miss Milly, regardless of state
ly puffs and rare old point, clasped
her round the neck.
'You dearest of all darling aunties,
it is all your fault!'
Then straightened herself Instant
ly as the first guests were announced.
That night Milly was in fairy-land,
herself the queen. Admirers crowd
ed around the little beauty till her
head was in the whirl against which
heruncle cautioned her.
Late in the evening she was stand
ing surrounded by a merr3- crowd.
fherself the gayest of the gay, when she
glanced toward the open door through
which some one was just being an
nounced, and whom did she Bee?
'That great ugly gander! Her com
panions saw momentary flash in her
eye and a quick blush suffused her
cheek, but attributed It to some sly
compliment, and all went on as be
fore. Milly thought: 'I hope he won't
come near me! It will be very im
polite if he does not! But I will
teach him a lesson if he does !'
Notwithstanding her conjectures,
Dr. Vanbourg did not come to her,
only bowed pleasantly, gravely, and
Milly thinks, qneerly, as he passed
her. But, ah ! Milly did not know
that the blue eyes watohed her every
move and gesture!
After the last gneat had departed,
Milly went to her room, and sitting
down beor the looking-glass, she so
liloquized :
'He need not think I am a baby, to
be made fun of and laughed at. lam
jnst as good as he is, and a-a-a good
dearbetter-lookicg.
Then she blushed and hid her face
in her hands as she thought of what
handsome Charley Landseer said to
oer mat evening men Bne looKeu up
and continned:
I just hate him that's what I do
and he shall see it, too.'
And then she saw the tears coming,
and she hurried hor preparations and
got into bed to dream tnat Charley
Landseer was talking to her, with an
ugly false lace on, with big blue eyes
that laughed at her and made her
cry.
Milly's winter was a grand success.
J Hearts and fortunes were laid at her
feet, but Milly's heart was still a puz
zle to herself and others. 'She didrtry
ito CaItin love with.all her might, but
somehow she could not fall.'
Dr. Vanbourg she saw but seldom,
and then always at a distance, and
only long enongh to see the smile In
the blue-eyes, and to scowl and bow
coldly in return, and then go home
and vow she 'hated him,' she hoped
she 'never would see him again,' and
then would cry to think of it.
Reader, do you wonder why Milly
could not fall in love?
And so the winter passed, and Mll-
ly went home, with a queer feeling rf
regret and relief, and life at the farm
house went on the same as usual.
No not exactly the same. For
Milly had changed. What was It?
She laughed and chatted as much as
ever, but she did not sing her fresh
little songs or climb her much-loved
trees so much as formerly, and a cute
little air of dignit3 was creeping over
her. Aunt Barbara noticed it, but
'was glad Millicent was settling down
as shedid at twenty.'
But Milly in realit3 was not quite
happy. She did not know exactly
why, though she did try to find out.
Once in awhile she thought of Dr.
Vanbourg, and when she did her
cheeks would burn and she would
get so mad.
'The big ugly thing!' she would
think and then 'there swims no
goose' .would flash into her miud.
Then she would drop the corners of
her pretty mouth, and dolefully think
that her gander must have been cook
ed for the last New Year's dinner.
But how she did wisu she had never
oeen that horrid old doctor, and had
said yes instead of no to handsome
Charle3 Landseer. And so she
thought, and thought, and thought,
until summer again loaded the mons-
'ttburcr - tn,l forrd'TThyBTTpleT;
and shed its warm glow into the heart
of our merry, changeable little hero
ine. But Milly wa not merry one day,
she was sad, and went into the orch
ard to be cheered. She reached the
old apple-tree, stopped, and without
more ado swung herself up Into it and
tried to soliloquize. But she could
not do it. she could not help thinking
of that 'big ugly gander of a doctor."
Then, strange to say, Milly leaned
her head against the monstrous limb,
and cried. Soon she stopped, and sat
quietly swinging her feet, her face
buried among the branches.
Sudden lv she heard a footstep, and
looking down, she saw Dr. Vanbourg
direct under her, his arms open.
'Milly. dear,' he said, I have come
back ; will you come now?'
It was all clear to her then, and with
an acute little cry of rapture she slided
down into bis arms.
What followed we dare not write,
but when the monstrous farm bell
rang for tea he started up, and raising
her drooping, blushing face to his,
said :
'There swims no goose so gray but soon or
late
Will And some honest gander for a mate.' "
"Milly, dear, it is fate."
And then they went to supper.

The charge of Pickett's division in
the battle of Gettsburg has often been
described by war correspondents and
others who witnessed the memorable
conflict, but perhaps no one has more
correctly portrayed the situation than
General Longstreet, in the following
language :
"Pickett said to me : 'General.shall
I advance ?' My feelings had so over
come me, that I would not speak, for
fear of betraying my want of confi
dence, to him. I bowed nry affirma
tion, and turned to mount 013' horse.
Pickett immediatel3'said, 'I shall lead
my division forward.air. Ispurred 033
horsetothe wood, where Alexander
was stationed with artillery. When
I reached him, he told me of the dis
appearance of the seven guns which
were to have led the charge with
Pickett, and that bis ammunition was
so low that he could uot properly sup
port the charge. I at once ordered
him tostop Pickett, until the ammuni
tion was replenished. He informed
me that he had no ammunition with
which to replenish. I then saw there
wa3 no help for it, and that Pickett
must advance under his orders. He
swept past our artillery in splendid
st3Ie, and the men marched steadilj
and compactly down the slope. As
they started op the ridge, over one
hundred cannon from the breastwork
of the Federals, hurled a rain of canis
ter, grape and shell down upon them ;
still they pressed on, until half wa3'
up the slope, whenthecrest of the hill
was lit up with a solid sheet of flame,
as the masses of Infantry rose and fir
ed. When the smoke cleared awa3,
Pickett's division wa3 gone. Nearly
two-thirds of his men lay dead on the
field, and the survivors were sullenly
retreating, down the bill. Mortal
man could not have stood that fire.

We now learned we were about
three miles from Dover Mills and ten
miles below Columbia Mills. Our
guide, the negro spokenof in the fir3t
part of this expedition, misled us
during the night, and, to obviate the
I delay of retracing nnr steps, Col.
Dahlgran, on the representations of
the guide that an excellent ford was
to be found at Dover Mills, concluded
to cross at that point. After two hours
halt -we again moved oq and soon
reached Dover Mills, but only to meetl
disappointment. The negro-had de
ceived us; no ford existed at this
point, nor was there any means of
crossing the river
He then stated
that the ford was three mile3 below,
This was most obviously false, as theJ
river was evidently navigable to and
above this place, as we saw scows and
a sloop going down the river, nnd It
would seem Impossible that he should
not know that no ford existed in the
neighborhood, where he had seen ves

HnnUn-Giraffes
Giraffes, if not hard pressed, do not
go at any very.great pace, so that be
fore long wa were withinlflO j-ards
of them. Even in the ardor of the
ohase it struck me as a glorious sight
tosse these huge beasts dashing along,
in front, clattering over the stones or
bursting a passage through opposite
bushes, their long and graceful necks
stretohed forward, sometimes bent al
most to the ground to avoufhorizontai
branches, and their busby black tails
twisted up. And how easily, and
with how little exertitfb, they seemed
to get over the ground wftrthat long,
sweeping stride of theirs. Yet they
were guing at a great fate, for I felt
tha't my old nag wa's "doing his best,
and I could not now less'pn the dis
tance between us by an Inch. I now
saw that D. was about to make a push.
and as the horse he wa32xuling was
pretty fast I knew that?he would
pre33"thenfTnTo a much quiuker pace
and leave me behind altogether; so.
f reining in atonce, T jumped off, aud
taking as stead3' an aim a3my arm,
tired with flogging, would allow, fir
ed at a largo dark -colored -cow that
looked, to me, in good condition. The
bullet clapped loudly, and I saw her
stagger, but, recovering immediately,
she went on, though slightly in the
rear of the troop. At this moment
my friend jumped off close behind
them, and gave another cow a shot
J Iw3nowa long way behind, but my
a crash. She was not 3Tet dead, how
ever, for as I approached, she reared
her loft3 head once more, and gazed
reproach fully a me with her large,
soft, dark eyes. A pang of remorse
I went through me, and for an instant
1 1 wished the shots un fired that laid
j low this beautiful and Inoffensive
'creature. Bat now the cries of my
Kafirs and Massaras, following like
famished wolves on the blood spoor,
broke upon my ear, so stiffliug the
still, small voice, I again raised my ri
fle and put an end to the miseries
of my victim, w"hose head, pierced
with a two-ounce ball, fell with a
thud upon the ground, never to ba
raised again. Leaving some of the
boys to out up the meat, T rode on
with ths rest to look up my friend,
whom I found beside another pros
trate giraffe, which he had killed a
little further on. As the one I had
shot was the fatter of the two, wo left
the Kafir's here and wet back for
mine. It wa3 now late ; so, hastily
it may bo that hunger, the's-attee with
which I have always eaten in, has
something to do with this opinion.
