BEFORE TJIE CURFEW.
1829-1883.
Hot bed -time yet I The night winds blow,
" The stars are oat full well we know
The nurse Is on the stair.
With band of ioe and check of snow.
And frozen lips that whisper low,
" Come, children, it is time to go
My peaceful coacu to share"
Ko yean a wake fill heart can tire ;
Not bed-time -et! Come, stir the flre
And warm your dear old hands;
Kind mother earth we love oo well
Uaa pleasant stories yet to tell
Before we hear the curfew bell;
Still glow the burning brands.
Hot bed-tsoio yet ! Wo long to know
What wonders time has yet to show.
What unborn years shall bring;
What ship the Arctic pole shall reach.
What lessons Science waits to teach.
What sermons there are left to preach,
What poems vet to sing.
Whrt next? we ask; and is it true
The sunshine falls on nothing new.
As Israel's King declared?
Was ocean ploughed with harnessed fire?
Were nations coupled with a wire?
JMd Tarshisu telegraph to Tyre?
How Hiram would have stared!
And what if Sheba's curious Queen,
Who came to see and to be seen
WorsoinetbJBffnewto seek.
And swooned, as ladies sometimes do,
At stents that thiilled her through and
through.
Had heard, as she was coming to,
A locomotive's shriek.
And seen a rushing railway trala
A Abe looked out along the plaia
icm David's lofty tower
A tailo of smoke that blots the sky
And blinds the eagle as they fly
Behind the ears that thuuder by
A score of leagues an hour!
Beo to mytmt htx respond
Thlii littto slumbering-nre-tipped wand
One touch it busts in darnel
Steal me a portrait from the sun
One look and lo! the picture donel
Are these old tricks. Kin? Solomon,
We lying moderns claim?
Could you have spectroscoped a star?
If both those mothers at jour bar,
-The cruel and the mild.
The young and tender, old and tough.
Had said, " Divide you're right, tntmgb
rough,"
Did old Judca know enough
To etherize the child?
These births of time our eyes have seen,
With but a few brief years between;
What wonder If the text.
For other ages doubtless true.
Pot coining years will never do
Whereof we all should like a few
If but to see what next.
If suoh things have been, such may be;
Who ould not like to live and see
If Heaven may so ordain
What waits undreamed of, yet in store.
The waves that roll forevcrmoro
Ob life's Ion" beach muv east ashore
Prom out the inist-cla'd main?
Will earth to pagan dreams return
To find irom misery's painted urn
That all save Hope has flown
Of Iiook and Church and Priest bereft.
The Book of Ages vainly clett,
Life's compass gone, its anchor left,
Left lost in depths unknown?
Shall Faith the trodden path pursue
The crux anaata wearers knew
Who sleep with folded hands,
Where, like a naked, lidless eye.
The staring 'Ile rolls wondering by
Those mountain slopes that climb the sky
Abovo the drifting sands?
Or shall a nobler Kalth return,
lis fanes n purer Gospel learn.
With holler anthems ring.
And teach us that our transient creeds
Were bat the perishable Reeds
M harvests sown for l&rser needs
That ripening years shall bring?
Veil, let the present do its best.
We trurtt our Maker for the rest,
Am on our way we plod ;
Oar soals, full dressed in fleshly suits,
Love air and sunshine, flowers and fruits.
The dairies better than their roots
Beneath the grassy sod.
Mot bedrtime yet' the full blown flower
Of all the year this evening hour
With lricndiihip's tlame is bright ;
Ltfc 5till i sweet, the heavens aie fair.
Though fields are brown and woods are
bare,
Aad many a joy is left to share
Before we say Good-night!
Aad when, our cheerful evening past,
T1m nurse, long waiting, comes at last,

In wearied nature's sweet repo-e,
At peace with ail her wttking foes.
Our lips shall murmur, ere they close,
Good ni!ht! and not Good-bye!
Olwer Wendell Holmes, in Atlantic Monthly.
H0Y7 SHE CAME TO MARRY A
YANKEE.
Talking with a frend of
.1 was visiting, about the
mine,
whom
civil war, I
'said to her:
, . I have often wondered how a woman
of such strong Sonthern principles as
yours ever came to marry a Federal
oMier."
She laughed, and, glancing toward a
moUeriy-looking black woman who sat
near the fire, nursing a rosy baby, re
plied: f f .
"You ''had better ask mammy. I
think she is responsible for that piece of
work."
- Deed if I is," said mammy, "I'se
not aehamedjOf it, kase it's 'boutde bes'
orklI ebberdon'. You better tell her
-'boot it, honey."
"There is not much to tell," said my
friend. "You already inow that all of
my relatives are Southern people, and
tb&ttwo of my uncles were killed in
.tattle, one aMalvern Hill, and the
other at GettystWg. We that is, my
rrandparenta and myself, with a married
daughter -whose husband was in the
army, and her two small children were
the onlywhites left on the plantation.
I had always lived with my grandpa
rents, as my own parents had died
while I was yet'an infant. Now I was
seventeen. ;, and, as I had passed all of
my life, except one winter in" New Or
leans and a couple summers at a Vir
ginia watering-place, "on the plantation,
with few companions, my governess
being a Southern lady, I knew little
about the world, and less about our own
Northorn States than any other part of
it. Of course I hated the Yankees, and
cast all the blame for the unhappy state
of affairs upon them.
, fI will not go into the particulars of
our troubles. We shared them in com
mon with all our friends, and rather
gloried in them, as proof of our devotion
to the cause. But I tell you, by the
time the winter 'sixty-four and 'five ar
rived we were having pretty hard times.
Everything we could 6pare, in the shape
ef bedding, clothing, carpets and cook
ing utensils had gone to the army or hos
pitals, and the necessaries' we had re
tained were wearing out, with no way
that we could see of replacing them. I
hould have suffered for clothing had it
not been that my dead mother's ward
robe had been sacredly kept forme, and
I found it fitted me without little altera
tion. TJut I was not going" to tell you of
our trials, only of how I happened to
find my Federal soldier.
Well, it was one evening during this
winter of which I speak that mammy,
who with her husband, Ben, had been
sleeping at the house for a long time,
took a notion that she would go, for the
sight, to her old cabin at the quarters.
Nearly all of our slaves had left us, and
the few who remained, with the excep
tion of Bee, mammy and Liza grand
mother's maid were old and almost
worthless, so far as work was con
cerned, so the quarters were almost de
serted. I did not want mammy to go, but,
as she seemed determined, I ceased op
position, and after she left the house, I
hut it up for the night, aad went to my
own room, upstairs. Before I was
ready for bed, Liza came up forme, say
ing mammy was at the dining-room
door, wanting me. I ran down, and,
opening it, found her standing there,
videnfly very much frightened'and ex
cited. Ot what is it, mammy?' I cried.
For in those days the least thing out
rf the ordinary was cause of alarm ; and
though our plantation, lying as it did in
u secluded part of the country, was sel
dom visited bv either of the armies, still
W had. not been entirely exempt frota
unwelcome visitors, and my first thought
was of Yankees coming.
Don't be scared, honey,' said
mammy. ' It am only Aunt Hulda got
a bad spell, an' I wants a drop of wine
an' a little bread an' milk for her.'
" Why, mammy!' I cried, when she
interrupted me.
" O chile, don' you be axin' ques
tions. Jes' git yer ole mammy what
she ax for, an' done you go for tell auy
body. Can't you trus' me, chile?'
There were tears welling down her
cheeks, and her voice was trembling, so
without another word I -gave her what
she wanted not omiting a small portion
of our precious stock of wine, which was
scanty, indeed.
" Returning to my room, I could not
sleep, for thinking of mammy's conduct.
I knew ' Huldy's spell' was only used to
cover up some other need. But what
could it be? A runaway slave she
would not have asked wine for; a South
ern soldier in distress she would have
brought to the house. Could it be one
of the enemy? A troop of horsemen
had passed through the country, some
miles north of us, two or three days be
fore, in pursuit of a band of our own
men. Could it be one of them? I
dropped asleep without coming to any
conclusion, and woke in the morning to
find mammy bustling about the kitchen
as usual.
" The first chance I had of speaking
to her alone, I asked how her patient
was? Instantly her face turned gray,
and her eye dropped.
" Honey,' she said, solemnly, what
de good Book say 'bout yer en'my bein'
hungry, or bein' naked, or anything
else? Oh, chile, yer's not gwine to be
hard on yar ole mammy as missed ye
from de day she tuk ye from yer dead
mother's breas'. She was a good mistis,
she was. She teach me be good to
everybody. Oh, chile, yer looks like
her in de face, an' yer's wearin' her
dress; now jes' act like her. Done ax
your ole mammy no questions. Jes'
help her, an' min' dis yer, yer mammy
won't do nothin' 'till harm any our
folks.'
What could I do? I knew the woman
was faithful; what else kept her with
us? She knew she was free to go at any
time. So I promised secrecy, and sup
plied the wants of the unknown a3 well
as possible from our scanty larder.
"Things went on thus for about ten
days, when, one morning, mammy be
sought me. to go to her cabin a few
minutes. 'He' she always designated
the unknown in that manner was gwine
to leave, and she knew he was too weak
to start. Wouldn't I jes' speak one
word to keep him? 'Less I did, his
death, she argued, would be on our
heads.
Led more by .curiosity than human
ity, I fear, I followed mammy to the
quarters; and, going into the little
cabin, I found a tall, handsome gentle
man, in blue uniform, who rose at my
entrance, and, bowing gravely, offered
me a seat, with as much graceful polite
ness as if we were in an elegant drawing
room instead of a cabin in the quarters.
" I was too much embarrassed to
speak, but he opened the conversation
at once by saying that he found himself
at last able to waut, and wished to join
the army as soon as possible, but could
not think of leaving without expressing
his gratitude to me, as he knew, from
what his benefactor had told him, that
without mv assistance she could not have
taken care of him.
44 Of course I told him I was glad to
find him recovering, but urged him not
to depart too soon, as he might break
down before he reached his friends.
"In reply, he said he felt pretty
strong, and then proceeded to tell me
how he got into such a predicament. It
seemed that lie did belong to the cavalry
regiment of which I spoke, and that, on
overtaking our men, there had been
quite a sharp tight, in which he had been
wounded, and had fallen from his horse,
and been left for dead, he supposed. On
recovering consciousness, he had found
himself faint and weak from loss of
blood, and alone in a forest. He had
wandered about two days, and at last
reached the edge of the wood, where
Ben, who was cutting fire-wood, found
him, and conveyed him to the cabin."
My friend paused, and mammy took
up the tale, saying:
' Yes, Miss Nellie, an' I teU you he's
'bout tuckered out. 'Spect if it hadn't
been for dat wine he die sure. He faint
way dead, when I fix his pore shoulder;
but, laws, he dat spunky arter dat he
nebber groan ; jes' set his teef hard.
He's ezyess feller to nuss I ebber seed ;
nebber grumble 'bout nothin'."
"WeU," resumed Mrs. G , "I
could not persuade him to remain longer
than until the next night, so I left him,
promising to prepare a few provisions,
and come to the cabin again to say
good-by.
' As I returned to the house the rain
began to fall heavily, and I thought
how much better it was for the wounded
man in mammy's cabin than out-of-doors.
Just then, hearing the noise of
horses' feet, I looked toward the road
in front of the house, and saw a band of
horsemen approaching. I hurried in
doors and told grandfather, but he was
already going out to meet them. They
were Confederates, and meant to camp
with us. They were without tents, so,
of course, the officers quartered them
selves in the house, while the men were
put in the stables and empty negro
quarters. All was bustle and confusion.
My heart lay like lead in my breast.
Not only did I fear for the Federal offi
cer (for by his uniform I knew he was
an officer), but what would grandfather
think of my harboring an enemy?
True, I did not beUeve my grandfather
would have turned a wounded man from
the door, even a Yankee ; but he surely
would deliver him up to the authorities
after he recovered.
44 1 could not get a word with mam
my. Apparently serene and calm, she
went about preparing food, arraying the
table, waiting on every one. Only once
in passing me she whispered:
You's too white, honey. Done ye
be feared; it's all right.'
WeU, the long afternoon wore away,
and night came. The soldiers were very
much exhausted, for they were on a
long march, and they soon prepared for
rest. As the rain fell in torrents, and
no enemy was known to be within fifty
miles, I suppose they felt more secure
than usual; at any rate, they stationed
but a few sentinels, and, long before
midnight, all about the place was quiet,
except the storm, which raged furiously.
I lay on a lounge in the room with my
grandparents. Liza and mamma slept on
the floor in the same room. I did not
know how it was with mammy, but, as or
myself, I slept little, dropping off once
or twice in a doze, to wake in a fever of
fright. How glad I was when daylight
came I can not describe, and yet I
dreaded it. What might not the day
bring forth? Breakfast was got ready,
and, just as the officers were sitting
down, a soldier eame in and announced
that one of the horses was missing, and
no trace of it could be found. My heart
iws mm my mroat. i was waiting on
the
table, and for a moment I errew
faint.
"I recovered myself, however, and
kept on as if I was not interested. The
officers, apparently, attached little im
portance to the information, and finished
eating before making much inquiry;
but then there was quite a commotion.
The missing horse was one of their best,
and had been taken, with all bis
accoutrements, from under the very
eyes of a sentinel. There was no tracking-him,
for the heavy rain, which was
rtUMalling, had washed out every trail.
It wastry mysterious ; and, alter muea
swearing aad wondering and ineffectual
searching, thettoep mounted aad left
s, tne soldier whote none n&a so un
eeremoniocaly departed riding behind a
comrade. v
" After they were gone grandfather
instituted an inquiry, but with no result,
other than to mystify himself. Mammy
told me afterward that Ben got the
horse with little trouble, as the sentinel
was sound asleep, sitting in the barn
door. Did not even move, Ben said, as
the horse passed him. That he led him
a piece down the road, and then Mars
Captain got on and rods off, slowly for
a while. 'But I 'spec,' said Beu, 'he
hurry some arter dat.'
" A day or two afterward, Beu, find
ing me alone in the kitchen, took from
his pocket and handed to me a small
package, saying:
" 'Miss Nellie, Mars Captain tole me
gin that to you, and tell you keep it fur
him, 'cos it was his mother's, an', if he
lib, he cum arter it when de war ober.'
" I opened the paper, and found this
ring," holding up her hand, on one
finger of whion she wore a plain gold
circle.
" You know that winter virtually
ended the war, and that with spring
came peace. My grandfather took to
his bed when he heard of the fall of
Richmond, and died, they said of fever;
but I have always believed his heart was
broken. He had lost one son in the
begiuniug o the struggle, and, with the
news of the defeat of our armies, came
the tidings of the death of another son
his eldest, the hope of hw old age. It
was more than the poor old man could
bear, and he only lived a few weeks.
My grandmother bore up bravely, and
tried in every way to cheer the rest.
Aunt Emily's husband came home, and
removed her and the children to New
Orleans, where he intended going into
business. Uncle Tom, grandmother's
only son, returned, a haggard, broken
looking man, totally unlike the hand
some, light-heartd youth who had rid
den so gayly away from the home, four
years before.
" During all this time we heard noth
ingmammy and I of the soldier who
had left us that stormy January night.
We often wondered what had become
of him. I felt doubtful whether ho ever
had reached his friends, in his feeble
condition. But mammy was more
hopeful. She insisted that 'he had lots
of pluck, an' a mighty good hoss.
on it, Ben picked a fine one,
Tend
honey.
Some o' dese fine days he be arter
rinrr '
dat
" In April came to us, as to aU the
world, the terrible news of Lincoln's
death. I never saw any one more
shocked than Uncle Tom. He declared
no greater calamity could have befallen
us, and seemed bewildered, and unable
to comprehend why it had been allowed
to happen.
44 4It seems to me,' he said to grand
mother, 'God does not take much notice
of us poor wretches now.'
"Dear old grandmother, as usual,
was our comforter. To her loving, rev
erent heart God was always good, and,
no matter how deep were the waves of
trouble through which she passed, His
hand ever guided her.
" One day, in the latter part of this
sad month, a visitor arrived. He came
on horseback, and I did not see him
until he had been in the house some
time. Then mammy came up-stairs,
where I sat sewing, all in a tremble of
excitement.
" 'Oh, Miss Nellie, honey,' she cried,
'my sojer done come back' He's down
stairs wid Mars Tom ; and, honey, I
don' un'stan' it, but M.irs Tom dat
glad to see him he mos' hug him.
Hurry, chilo! I 'snec he be wantin' dat
ring. You got it all safe, habn't you?'
" You see I did not, then, wear it,
not wishing to answer questions about
it. Well, to shorten my story, I may as
well tell you why Uncle Tom was glad
to see him. It seems, after the battle of
Gettysburg, Captain Graham had found
a dying Confederate on the field ; had
had him taken to the hospital and eared
for, and, when he died, had sent the
few little articles of property on his
person to his brother. That brother
was my uncle. The correspondence,
so begun, had been kept up,
neither knowing that the other
had been on our plantation, until a
few days previous the Captain had
learned that the name which mammy
had called 'Beecham' was spelled
Beauchamp. Thus enlightened, he said,
he set out for the place.
" Uncle Tom was surprised to see us
meet as acquaintances, and still more
surprised at our story.
" Ben, on being questioned, told now
he managed the escape. He said 'he
got Mars' Captain in Hulda's cabin, and
hid him. It rained so de sodjers didn't
rummage much, Mars' Tom, an' as for
dat sentry? an' de odders, too, for dat
matter, dey don' so beat out, and so on
suspectin', dey sleep like logs; mout
took dozen horses.'
" 'Did all the blacks help hide the
Captain, Ben?' asked Tom.
" 'Dey all did what dey could, Mars
Tom ; but none de white folks know but
Miss Nellie.'
" 'But I had no idea any one knew
except Ben, mammy and myself.'
" The Captain smiled.
" 'I think,' said he, 'most of the col
ored people knew I was here.'
" Tom interrupted him.
'"Excuse me, Captain,' he said,
there is the dinner-bell. Walk into tho
dining-room, please.'
" The subject was never resumed. I
thought it was unpleasant to grand
mother, in fact she intimated as much,
saying she never thought of being de
ceived by her own people.
"Captain Graham remained several
weeks with us ; and, when he departed
for his Northern home it was under
stood that he would return again shortly
for his rebel bride. During nis absence
I obtained grandmother's forgiveness
for having once deceived her; and,
when the Captain came for me, bring
ing his young sister with him, she re
ceived them very graciously, even smil
ing on Uncle Tom'3 very evident admi
ration of tbe Yankee girl, and not ob
jecting at all when he informed her that
he had traded his Southern niece for a
Northern wife. So, you see, we are all
happy, and mammy is, I think, the re
sponsible person. Don't you agree with
me?"
" Of course," said I. " She ought to
be proud of her work."
"An' so I is, honey," said the old
woman. " I'se a Southern darky, I is,
but I'se a Nordern sympathizer, an' dis
yer boy," holding up the crowinjr child,

A Remarkable Career.
Milton S. Lathami who died in New
York recently, had many remarkabls
successes in political and financial vent
ures; although he also met with many
reverses. He was born in Columbus,
Ohio, in 1827. After he was graduated
from Jefferson College, Philadelphia, in
1845, he went to Alabama, where he
studied law. In 1848 he crossed the
plains, and cast his fortunes with the
gold-hunters in California. He was
elected a Representative in the Thirty
seventh Congress in the following year,
and declined a re-election in 1854. Ap-
? Dinted Collector of the port of San
ranciseo by President Pierce in 1855,
he held that office for two years. He
was elected Governor of California in
189. This was followed three days
after his inauguration in January, 1860,
by an election to the United States Sen
ate, to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Senator Broderick. He was
said at that time to be the youngest
man who had ever been a member of
the Senate. He 1878 ne wont to New
York. He had been for some years the
President of the Mining Trust Company.
He beeame the President of the Mining
and Stock Exchange shortly after his
arrival in Saw York. Chicago Jowrmd.

side-walk, if you knew how to
plant them? Can you do anything
about the house that Con Regan can?
My dear boy, you see why Nora Mulli
gan will have none of you, she wants a
Higher type of true manhood. You ex
pect to nire men to ao ail the man s
work about the house, but j'ou want
your wife to do everything that any
woman can do. Believe me, mv dear
sou, nine-tenths of the girls who play
the piano andsingso charmingly, whom
you in your limited knowledge set down
as "mere butterflies of fashion,'' are
better fitted for wives than you are for
a husband. The girls know more about
these things than 3 ou do. If you want
to marry a first-class cook and experi
enced housekeeper, do j'our courting in
the intelligence office. But if you want
a wife, marry the girl you love, with
dimpled hantls and a face like the sun
light, and her love will teach her all
these things, my boy, long before you
have learned one half of your own les
son. Burlington Hawkeye.

Sometimes things get mixed, and
nicely, too, if not quite as neatly as was
done" by a printer of a Canadian news
paper who tagged part of a receipt for
tomato catsup on the opening paragraph
of an article on Catholicism in Africa,
with he following result: "The Roman
Catholics claim to be making material
advances in Africa, especially in i
Algeria, where they have a hundred and
eighty-live thousand adherents ana a
missionary society for Central Africa.
During the past three years they have at
tained a firm footing in the interior oi
the continent, and have sent forth
several missionaries into the equatorial
regions. They are accustomed to be
gin their work by buying heathen chil
dren and educating them. The easiest
and best way to prepare them is to first
wipe them with a clean towel; then
place them in dripping pans and
bake them till they are tender. Then
you will have no difficulty in rubbing
them through a sieve, and wLTksave
them by being obliged to cut them id
slices and cook for several hours."

HkmAtitk. Missouri, August 20, 13S0.
B. J, Kendall & Co., Gknts: I am so oerjoved 111 view of the result of an ap
plication of your Kendall's Spavin Cure that Tfeel that I ouirht for Umuanitle'
sake publish it to the world. About thirty-live ear ago while riding a yotiH
ugly horse, I was injnred in one of my testicles, and from that tiin to three weeks
ago a slow but constant enlargement has been the result, iriviinr me a aruat amount
of trouble, almost entirely preventing me from horseback ridinn. which was my
usual way of traveling. I saw a notice of your Kendall's Spavin "'ure, never once
thought of it for any thing except for horses, but after receiving! he medicine and
reading over what it was good for, feeliug terribly exercised about mv diilicultv, for
I had consulted many physicians and none gave me anv specitlc but'when it could
be endured no longer to remove it w ith the knife. T applied vour Kendall's Spa in
Cure as an experiment, and it was so painful in its application that 1 concluded
not to repeat it and thought no more about it until near a week, and lo and be'-.old
one-half the size was gone, with joy I could scarcely believe it, I immediately ap
plied it over again, and have made in all about J4 doen applications running over
a space of two weeks ami the terrible enlargement is almost gone, in view of which
I caunot express my feelings of delight. It has been a God send to me. inav he
send to others with like troubles, Joun Rick.
Pastor of Hematite Congregational Church.
P. S. You are at liberty to put this in anv shape vou may please. I am not
ashamed to have my name under, over or by the side of it.
KENDALL'S SPAVIN CtFRE!
Kendall's Spavin Cure is sure in its effects, mild in its action as' it does not
blister, yet it is penetrating and powerful to reach .my deep seited pun nr to re
move any bony growth or any other enlargement if used fur scleral il.iys, such as
spavins, splints, callous, sprains, swellim.'. any lameness .mil .ill enlargements of
the joints or limbs, or rheuma.ism in m.t:t anil tor any purpose for which u liniment
is used for man or beast. It is now know n to h the best liniment for mau ever used
acting mild yet certain in its effects. It is used in lull strength with perfect safety
at all seasons of the year.
Send address for Illustrated Circular, which we think gives positive proof, of its
virtues. Xo remedy has met with sm-h uui-u.illti 1 sueess to our knowledge, for
beast as well as mau. Price $1 per bottle, or six bottles for $5.
