HOW JOE LOST HIS ARM.
Ob the TomMgbee river so bright, I was born.
la a hut made of husks of the bright yellow corn.
jasn xwastaere mat 1 met my Julia, so true.
And I rowed her about in my gumtree canoe,
Bhudng, row away, row o'er the waters se blue,
like a feather we'll float in my gumtree canoe.
The clerk of the Pretty Jane had a
mellow voice, and blended sweetly with
it was little Jennie's cnitih treble. '
He sat upon the deck of the little
steamboat gazing around on the bright
waters of the Tombigbee as the son
danced on them, gazing intently, and
willing absently to himself.
He was a man of aboat thirty, and his
Tight coat sleeve was empty and pinned
upon his heart.
Little Jennie leaned trpon his knee,
staring him intently in the face in a way
that children have. She pushed her
feroad brimmed hat back from her eyes
o that she might stare the better. The
kat was a qaeerly Bhaped palmetto
atrncture, for this was in '63. and clothes
were at a premium. She was the child
of one of the passengers, and between
"her and the clerk quite a friendship had
prong up.
"And did yon sure enough meet your
Julia here on the Tombigbee?" asked the
child, stroking the empty sleeve with a
pitying touch.
"Yes," said the clerk, roused from his
Terrene and smiling down on the eager lit
tle face; "I have often taken her rowing
n the Tombigbee before the war, when
I had my other arm."
"How nicer said Jennie. "How nice!
Aad in a gumtree canoe?"
"Well, I wasn't particular as to the
lind of canoe, so it was a canoe," said
Jbe, smiling.
"And your Julia ain't named Julia,
but Mary Jane, after all," said the child.
"Yes," said he, "but she's just as
weet as if her name was Julia, though
'twouldnt fit in the song so welL"
"No, you couldn't say, 'I rowed my
Vary Jane so true.' Twould make the
ong too long legged."
"Trne," said he, laughing, "but that
-stakes no . difference. I think of her
while I sing it, so that it seems as if it
Was her name."
"Well, Mr. Perkins," said Jennie, 'tell
ate why ha vent you married your Julia,
f you've been rowing her around in
your gumtree canoe these ever so many
years?"
"You see," said the mate smiling, "my
Julia couldn't make np her mind that
he loved me till the war broke oat and
I volunteered; then she said directly
he'd marry me, but twas too late then;
had to go off to fight."
"You had both of your arms then!" in
terrupted Jennie: "you was born with
em?"
"Of course, child. Did you ever hear
at any one born with one arm? Nature
don't ever make no such cobbled, lop
sided work as that."
"Well, if you had both of your arms
then, I don't see why she wouldn't have
you."
"Bless you, child, everybody had
"plenty of arms then; that was' no in
ducement to take a fellow. But, as I
was saying, when she found I was going
off to the war and might get killed, then
-ahe found that she loved me." .:-.''
"She'd rather marry you than that
you should get killed," said - Jennie.
"Yes, I think she ought, after you rowed
her around in the canoe."
"You are right," said Perkins, laugh
ing; "but twas too late to marry her
then. We agreed that if ever I got back
afely, when the war was over, we'd
marry."
"Tell me now, how you came to lose
your arm," said Jennie.
"Twas in one of the great battles
ronnd Richmond that year. I had been
in many fights before, but this was
about the hottest The enemy were
bound to get the hill on which we stood,
and we were holding on desperately.
But at last the boys began to waver and
give way. Then our colonel came out
to the front, and the rest of our officers
followed him, and they ran up and down
'the lines cheering np the men.
'Steady, my boys, said the old colo
nel; 'keep pouring it into them. Steady!
Se-enforcements will soon be here!
Hever let it be said that the line broke
where the Alabamians stood! -
"The whole air seemed black with
shot and shell. Apiece of one grazed
the colonel's cheek, and the blood kept
trickling down his face, but he didn't
seem to feel it The firing grew so hot
that the men seemed fairly mowed
down, and the line began to waver and
weak. Suddenly, clear on our right,
there arose a tremendous yelL It grew
louder and, loader, and ran down the
line toward us. Then, at last we saw a
courier galloping down the line. I
asever forget how he looked: '"His black
feorse was all white with foam and its
flanks were bloody from his spar. ' He
-rode bare headed down the line as if he
bore a charmed life, and he kept waving
Ins cap around his head and shouting
something to the men, and as they heard
liim the wavering line rallied and sent
trp deafening cheers. Then he galloped
by where we were and yelled:
"'Bally, men! rally! Stonewall Jack
son is in their rear, and giving .'em ant!
."Then we cheered, too, until we were
hoarse. The courier galloped on, and
presently our officer shouted: ..
'Forward men; charge!
"And away we went, down the hill
and across a field, right toward the
Yankee lines, yelling like Indians. -
"I held the colors in my hand, and I
ran a little ahead. I didn't seem to have
.any feet; I seemed to fly, and the men
followed me. Bight toward the biasing
line we ran. .
"All at once I saw the colonel, who
was riding by me, grasp the colors, for
they were falling. I looked and saw
that my hand, my whole arm was gone.
and I hadn't felt it! I grabbed the flag
m my left hand. .'-
" 'I can carry the colors yet, colonel,'
I said. 'I don't feel any pain.'
"I ran on some fifty steps, when the
blood began spouting from my shoul
der. - I dropped. Joe Ashe, one of the
color guards, snatched the flag, and they
all rushed on.
"I fell senseless. - I never knew an
other thing till weeks after, when I woke
up one day in Chimborazo hospital and
found some funny looking ladies in black
bonnets, that the boys called 'the sis
ters,' bending over me. If it hadn't been
for their good nursing, I should have
died."
Perkins ceased. He had been so car
ried away by the interest he felt in his
own narrative that he had gone quite
beyond his auditor.
"But tell me, Joe," Jennie eagerly
sated she bad been impatiently waiting
for an opportunity for some minutes
"tell me, did you ever find your arm
that you dropped?
"No; to be sure not. I never went to
look for it"
"You couldnt fasten it on again, then?"
"Of course not, child. I am not a
jointed doU." .
"What a pity you couldn't," said the
child. "What a pity! And how do you
manage to dress yourself and tie your
cravat and shoes?" she asked, for she had
been burning to make these inquiries
ever since she had seen the one armed
confederate.
" Twas awkward at first, but I learned
at last to do it with the help of my teeth."
"But how when you get old and lose
'em?" said Jennie, who was of an inves
tigating mind.
"Providence will raise me up some
other way," he said with a pathetic smile.
Til have my wife to wait on me."
'To be sure. I forgot; Miss Mary Jane
will. What did she say?"
"I got one of the sisters to write her
for me, and I set her free. I said I
wouldn't bind her to a poor cripple like
me."
"And she said no, sir-reel I 'spose,"
cried Jennie, full of fiery zeal for her
new friend.
"Something to that effect" said Joe,
smiling.
"She wrote me that she loved me more
with one arm than she ever had done
with two. And whenever I could get
home she was ready." Here Joe's eyes
filled and he gazed steadily in the water.
"Well, now, Joe," said Jennie, who
was suddenly struck with a bright idea,
"maybe if you would lose both arms
she'd love you betterer and betterer."
"I believe Tm satisfied with what she
feels now," said Joe, laughing.
"But why hain't you married?" con
tinued Jennie, pursuing her investiga
tions. "Because I first had to get well, and
then I had to get something to do. I
had been a mechanic, and I couldnt
work at my trade with my left hand.
So Capt Bamsey gave me a place en his
boat and I've been trying to learn how
to write, so that I can keep his books. I
think I'm doing pretty weU. See."
He drew from his pocket a little blank
book in which were scrawled divers
hieroglyphics, at which he gazed com
placently. "Why, yes," said Jennie approvingly.
"There's a 't with the cross mark, and
there is 'k with his broken back, and
that s an 'i.' I know him by his eye
brow. You see I can read a little." she
said proudly.
"So I see," said he, laughing and nut
ting ap his book. . "Now I must go.
The sun has set It is time for me to
see after things for the night"
He stroked Jennie s curlv head with
his left hand, and walked away, softly
singing in his mellow voice, "My Own

from eighteen inches to two feet, thus

THE MARSEILLAISE.
Haw Bongwt de Ust Came to Write the
National Bjwma of France.'
This idea of celebrating "The Marseil
laise" is a worthy one, for it has led
French troops to victory under republics
and under an empire, while during the
reign of Louis Philippe it was heard
often, thus showing that it belongs to all
classes. ' -- -. .-
' Let me tell of its origin, though some
of you may already have heard the story.
France was in danger, her people were
called to arms and they responded nobly.
In the house of the mayor of Strasburg
a friendly dinner was going on, at which
men swore to die for liberty against the
aiiieu songs or .Europe. ; Some one sooke
of those heroic songs that stimulate the
ardor of the soldier, and lamented be
cause France had not one such. Bouget
ae ijisie, an omcer or engineers, was at
the table; it was known he dabbled at
poetry and music, and the mayor asked
mm 10 compose a new march tor his fel
lows. He set about the work immedi
ately, r ;' I - - V.
The night was superb. He took down
his violin, played and sang. Air and
words came both at the same time; the
subject transported him. It was as if
the soul of La Patrie was passing into
his own, as if through his mouth liberty
was uttering her enthusiasm and her
generous anger. He wrote, he sang, he
improvised, but it was the soul of
France that dictated. In the morning
six verses were completed, and, vibrat
ing with patriotic excitement, he read
the "War Song of the Army of the
Rhine" its first title to his friends,
who became electrified by the manly ac
cents. The new hymn was sent to Luckner,
commander of the Army of the Rhine,
who distributed manuscripts '- of it
throughout Alsace, and it was executed
on the public square of Strasburg.
Thence it traveled over France and
south to Marseilles, which town told it
to her volunteers, and they sang it when
they entered Paris on that 10th of An
ust, 1792, when they took the Tuileries.
That was how it got the name that will
cling to it forever. It was played in the
army, and generals said it was worth
10,000 men. Copies of 'The Marseil
laise"' were ordered when requisitions
were made out for weapons.
The aristocratic captain was desolate
at having contributed the part which
"The Marseillaise" had taken in over
throwing the monarchy, for he never in
tended his hymn should be a republican
anthem. Later on, when proscribed as
a royalist be was fleeing' over the Alps
and heaid its strains. "What is that
hymn called?" he asked his guide. : The
peasant replied, "The Marseillaise," and
it was thus he first learned the name of
his own great composition. ' 'The Mar
seillaise" became the national hymn of
the First Republic, and it remained so un
der the First Empire. Napoleon had such
admiration for -the hymn that he pro
hibited its being performed except on
grand occasions, just as the "Te Deum"
is only sung when there has been a brill
iant victory. ' '
At St. Helena he said, "The imperial
guard always 'marched to the tune of
The Marseillaise.'" No ; wonder they
won battles. Forbidden under the res
toration;" the song came into favor again
with Louis Philippe. Because of hear
ing it sung at republican manifestations
the government of the Second Empire
prohibited its execution, but in 1870, the
day war was declared, an order was
issued authorizing its use, and the troops
went; out singing" "The Marseillaise. "
More than this, managers of ' places of
amusement were invited to- perform it
and when Mme. Marie Sasse sang ' it at
the Theatre Francaise women wept and
men were wild with excitement Her
wonderful voice sang the words in a
way that raised the morale of . the popu
lation and provoked them to patriotic
enthusiasm. Paris Cor. Chicago Herald,
