'7 ; Two armies covem! hill add plain Where Rappahannock's waters Ban deeply crimsoned with the stain Of battle's recent slaughters. The Summer clouds lay pitched like tents" I In mead ?f heavenly azwei And each dread gun of the elements Slept In its'hid embrasure. The breeze so softly blew It made STo 4rest leaf to quiver, 'And .the, .smoke of the random can nonade Rolled jlowly from the river, i And ndw where circling hills looked dowu , With ciuiuon.griuilv planted, O'er listless 'camp'-and silent town ., The golden smiseli slajitenV When on the fervid air ttter earoe . AstriUn, now rich, uowjiender, The music seemed itselt aflame With laj' departing spiendor- A Federal bandy Which eve nd morn Played pleasures brave ami nimble, Had just struck up with flute and horn ' And lively elasBof oymbut. i I Down flocked the soldiers to the bank Till margined by its pebbles, One wooded slwre was blue with ' "Yanks," : !" ' "' And oae Was gray with "Bebel." ffheft all was still ; and then the; band" WUh movements light and triply, Hade stream and forest,, hill and strand, Kevrberabe with "Dixie." ... The cohscious stream, with burnished '.: glow '. I 111 Went proudly o'er it PWes, , But thrilled throughout iu oVepeat flow Witta yelling of the- rebels. Again a patfse, and then again i The trumpet pealed soporous, And Yaukee Doodle was the strain ; 'To Which the shore gave chorUs. tffifc laughing rfppte shoreward new, To kiss 6 le shiuing pebbles Loud shrieked the crowding Boys in' Blue . Defiance to t he Kebejs- And yet once more the bugle song Above the stormy rlbt ; No sh6ut upon the evening rang There reigned a holy quiet. The sad, lone stream its noiseless tread Spread o'er the- glistening pebbles ; AM silent now tlie Yankees stood, All silent stood the Rebels : For each responsive sou) had heard That'-plalntivfc ritites appealing. So deeply "Home, Sweet Home1' had , stirred The hidden founts ofeeliug. Of blue or gray, the soldier sees I As by the wandof fairy, ,The pottage 'neath the live-oak trees, The cottage by the prairie. Or cold or warm his imtivq skies Bend in their beauty o'er him ; Seiiding tlie tear-mist ill his eyea The dear ories stand before -Mm. !As ldes,the h is after rain , , ., .

A (lcMfta newspaper says: The hoistigg into the air and lowering ele j)hantt1nto the hold of a vessel is dot only an uiuisual sight to most men, but also a strange experience to most telephaiits. ' They were lashed with strong ropes, slung as far as practica ble in slings, hoisted up with Cranes With three foot tackle, and lowered in to the steamer's hold like a bale of cotton. When in the hold, they were placed In pen. butW of strong teak umber bau)kft, bolted to the ship's side to keep them from breaking loose. The fear the animals suffered was the only paiu , they underwent, ami by watchiug theeyes.of the peor beasts their terror Watfvery manifest. Tears trickled down their mild countenances, and they roared, with dread more es pecially whn being lowered mto the hold, the' bottom or which was sanded tor them to stand on.
