Never a man who did not feel that , he
was fighting for the life of , the Confed

How the forest shook and trembled as
the great ,gan8 sent their deadly missiles
crashing tHrongh'tlie foliage! - How the
thickets blazed op in flames, the severed
lambs crashed dowct, tb sunny glades
tamed dark as nigh.t with 'the powder'

atn umbered the bushes. The wounded
wailed and cried, as I never heard them
Before or .after," There was something
o somber go grewspme so unearthly
in fighting' a' foe' 'unseen in' the'semi'
darknees that the shouting and cursing
Bsually heard in the lines gave place, to
silence and pale faces,
' Darkness' had' come at last, and the
roar of battle bad died away to a low
jrrowl. Grant had failed to drive Lee.
We knew that from flank to flank. If
fce' could' not 'force a passage' through
those gray lines he could flank .them.
Before the sun went down we knew that
e would do it It was not yet night
when the movement began, but my divi
sion would be one of the last to move,
-and we must hold our ground and pre
vent the. Confederates from discovering
what: was. .taking place. - It was.atcup-
oos coincidence-, of war that Liee was
also moving by the flank, both armies
marching in parallel lines from a battle
field which had yielded "neither victory
mor defeat to either side.
f Post J$6. ? was - under a large tree on
. -the edge of a thicket. To the south there
was a strip of open gronnd, then a
thicket, then an old fieldvin which stood
a log cabin. It was a Jonely place, well
way from the camps, the dead and the
dying, but I was glad to be alone. All
along the hues there was a growling of
QUHketry; but this was but a bluff a
Bit of acting to cover the real design. . 1
bad been nearly an hour oh the post
without anything happening to alarm
soe, when I heard - a person moving in
the thicket across the open strip". .. ...
Was it a person? Riderless horses had
galloped about that day almost without
umber; this might be one. which had
found shelter in tbjat thicket, ;
Rustle! Bustle! Stepl'Stepf
It was a cautions movement Who
ever it was hoped to reach' me without
' discovery, but there were, dead leaves
underfoot. and the thicket was dense. A.
hare' could1 noi'have moved without be
traying its presence ,
Rustle! Rustle?
Kneeling down' so as to Bee under the
darkness, as it were, I suddenly made
ut a black object against the dark back
ground. It is neither horse nor mule,; it
is a human being. A scout from the en-
-emys picket ' post, "only a quarter of

"Who comes here?"..
There is a silence 'of fifteen' seconds.

Economical Sewing;.
Another sewing machine agent reports
another woman who -manages to get her
spring dressmaking done very economi
cally. . AH the agents have a custom of
leaving machines' for a week on trial.
Twice a year this woman up town has a
machine left at her house "on trial," al
ternating impartially between the sev
eral makes. During the trial week she
does as much of her . sewing as she Can
conveniently, and when the agent, calls
she Invariably ;teli him-the. machine

going on some years, and it is supposed
that the woman. -gets a keen: enjoyment

'-"For lying about the camp, canoeing,

leather and sometimes canvas shoes
might be u'sod,-but ; for all heavy work
there is nothing like a solid boot, roomy,

If yon propose to camp at some place
