TUB BOY IX GRAY.
Fredrloksburg had had her fray,
Ana tlm artntoa stood at bay;
Back of wall and top of hill,
Union weu ami uiou lu gray
Wlloworvd at tacu othur till.
la tht pac betwtea th two
v Many a napless boy In blue
Lay face upward to the tale;
Many another. Just aa true,
Filled ttn air with frantic crlea.
"Lova of God!" with pity atlrred,
Cried a rebel tad who hoard;
This la more than I eau hoar!
General, only any tlm word.
They ahall have tome water tlhro."
"What's the use?" hla general,
Frowning asked. "A Yankee Imll
lrops you doad, or worm, half way,
Oiiee you go beyond the wall."
"Maybe!" aald the boy lu gray,
"Still I'll risk It, If you ploao.w
Ami the senior, 111 at who,
Nodded, growling under breath,
"For hi mortal eueiulea
I have sent the lad to death."
Theu a hotter lire began
A a across the Hold he ran:
Yankee shooter marked a prey;
But bcauto each wounded man
lleedk knelt the boy lu gray,
Tan-hod Up hailed lilm aa he came;
Throats with fever all aflame,
While the bulla were spinning by,
Drained tlie cup he offered them.
Blessed him with their dying cry.
Suddenly, through the ralu of those
Faltering shirts, a Rhout uiirosc;
I)lu of voices filled his ears;
Firing ceased, and eager fooa
Made the welkin ring with cheers.
Foe they were, of bitter Deed,
Still to every uohlo deed
Hearts of men, thank God, must
thrill;
And we thrill, too, as we read
Of those cheers ou Ma rye's 1 1 lit.
Hays of battle long since done.
Iays of oac and blessing won;
Better Is It to forget
Cruel work of sword and gun:
Hut some deeds are treasures yet.
While a grateful ttatlou showers
O raves of heroes with her flowers,
Here's a wreath for one today:
North or South, we claim him ours:
Honor to the Hoy in Gray!
TUB GOING MAX.
Farewell, valu worUI, he's going home.
He bears the baby ory
He's going home uo jiwre to roam,
To croon a lullaby.
"Kerwack. kerwack,"
The baby squalls;
"Oome hack,"
Responsive echo calls. ,
Its little heart is like to break.
Since mother weut away.
Before the populace to apeak
On topics of the day.
The crowds applaud
And cull Iter buck
She doth not Iiear
Ker.yack, kerwack."
Tlie team roll down Its iwlltd cheek
Till dawn lieglnn to creep;
It sucks Its lists till faint and weak.
It sobs IUtf to sleep.
"Kerwack, kerwack,"
It cries In r iln:
"Oome lan-k, eume lsiok,'
lu amnts pktiu.
Wlien woman's rights are others
wrongs.
Beware tlie baneful snare;
Tbe Inane In wls-re be wife belongs,
It needs her loving cure.
"Korwuck. kerwack."
No ksiger mam,
"Oome Utck. come back,"
To child and home.
Tia sad, but true, the time la past
When woman's cblefeat Joy
Was nourished by a husband's love
Aim! centered lu iher loy.
' Kerwack. kerwack,"
Will cry lu vain,
She will not hear
The pb'iiUve strain.
Ah. grivoiis state; ah, fatal sgi',
With .many evils fmv'it.
When chilis aud nodal life engage
A woman's every thought
"Kerwack, kerwack,"
On every band,
This cry is heard
Throughout the land.
THE NEW WOMAN.
O, the Twentieth Century (ilrl!
What a womlerful thing she will be
She'll evolve from a mystical whirl
A woman unfettered and free:
' No corset to crampon her wnlRt,
No crimps to encumber her brnln;
Unafraid, bifurcate, unlaced,
Like a goddess of old she will reign
She'll wear bloomers, a matter of
course;
She will vote, not a question of
doubt;
She will ride like a man on a horse;
At the club late at night she'll stay
out:
If she chances to love, she'll propose
lo blush will be unite out of date:
She'll discuss politice with her beaux
Ana outwalk her masculine mute!
She'll he tip In the science of things;
She will smoke cigarettes; she will
swear,
If the servant a dunning note brings,
Or the steak Isn't served up with
care.
No longer she'll powder her nose
Or cultivate even a curl,
Nor bother with fashion or clothes,
This Twentieth Century (llrl.
Her voice will Is? heard In the land;
She'll dabble In matters of state;
In council her word will command.
And her whisper the laws regulate,
She will stand 'neuth her banner un
furled.
Inscribed with her principles new:
But the question Is what In the world
j be New Century baby will do?

"It was In a fashionable boarding

she was to depart tlie following Sat

make It a milnt to tlud bliu.
of course the young woiio-m thought
this would end the whole matter, for
they were becoming tired of the Juke,
But wlmt was their amar.emeul when
another letter was received by
Blamiie, In which the smitten youim
man said he would Mlow her to Ku

The news, lustivul of Invoking syiu

while lu Ijomton the fourth bad a
friend whom she would let Into the

at once, four of them to go abroad and

being sent to 'the prude." telling htm
where Blanche v,ts to stop In liiid ii
and how lout;; how she would go to

and the s-ime date concerning Ham
burg and (leueva.
All the kIi-Is were on bund to see
"the prude" dsirt, otsl he was very
h:ipy over wlsit he thought was the
fecret Uskid up In his breast.
From ' letters received from tb
friends abrond he spiswred at the nit
drovs given In Iondon, only to be luld
that MIks Wllloughhy had lsn there
unit had looked anxiously each day fur

dejiH-ted nt his non-arrival, she had
departed for Iwis earlier than she

young man call for her he Hhould Is'

In this way he was sent to Mie four
ci tiles ijtamcd, and then, linslug all track
of his phantom sweetheart, lie trav
elled around on his own accord, hop
ing to And her. Hut, of conn-so, he
didn't, and when, three months later,
he returned to this country and to his
boarding house he was a heartbroken
man. The jiext morning when he np
isnrcd at tbe breakfast ttible there
was a letter on his plate which made
Hi eyes twinkle with Joy. He took
It to -his room, mid this was what he
rend :
Tour Old Simpleton: It Is mil very

fruit, sprinkle with sugar again. Keep
this up until the simnr has nil drlnned
