LOVE KNOWS NO COLOR LINE.
The following stirring poem, writ
ten by Will Henry Thompson, of Se
attle, father of Chester H. Thompson,
the youthful murderer of Judge Em
ory, was first published In the Cen
tury Magazine in July, 1S87, nnd has
hetn reprinted many times since:
A cloud possessed the hollow field,
The salhcrlng battle's smoky shield.
Athwart the gloom the lightning
flashed,
And through the clouds some horse
men dashed
As from the heights the thunder
pealed.
Then nt the brief command of Lee
Moved out that matchless Infantry.
With Pickett leading grandly down.
To rush against the roaring crown
Of those dread heights of destiny.
Far heard above the angry guns
A cry across the tumult runs
The voice that rang through Shlloh's
woods
And Chlcnmauga's solitudes,
The fierce South cheering on her sons!
Ah. how the withering tempest bjew
Against the front of Pettlgrew!
A Khamsin wind that scorched and
singed
Like that Infernal flame that fringed
The British squares nt Waterloo!
A thousand fell where Kempler led;
A thousand died where Qarnett bled;
In blinding flame nnd strangling
smoke
The remnant through the batteries
broke
And crossed the works with Armls-
tead.
"Once more In Glory's van with me!
Virginia cried to Tennessee;
"V two together, come what may.
Shall stand upon these works today!"
(The reddest day In history.)
But who shall break the guards that
wait
Before the awful face of Fate?
The attereil standards of the South
Were shriveled nt the cannon's mouth,
And all her hopes were desolate.
In vain the Tennesseean set
His breast against the bayonet;
In vain Virginia charged and raged.
A tigress In her wrath, uncaged.
Till all the hill was red and wet!
Above the bayonets, mixed and
crossed.
Men say a gray, gigantic ghost
Receding through the battle-cloud
And heard above the Tempest loud
The death-cry of a nation lost!
The brave went down! Without dis
grace
They leaped to Ruin's red embrace.
They only heard Fame's thunder
wake.
An saw the dazzling sun-burst break
In smiles on Glory's bloody face!
Thev fell, who lifted up a hand
And bade the mm In heaven to stand
They smote and fell, who set the bars
Against the progress of the stars
And stayed the march of Motherland
They stood, who saw the future come
On through the fight's delirium!
They smote and stood, who held the
hope
Of nations on that slippery slope.

THE SKELETON AT THE FEAST.
We summoned not the Silent Guest
And no man spake his name;
By Hps unseen our cup was pressed,
And 'mid the merry song and Jest,
The Uninvited came.
Wise were they In the days of old,
Who gave the Stranger place;
And when the Joyous catch was troll
ed,
And toasts were quaffed and tales
were told,
They looked him In the face.
God save us from the skeleton
Who sltteth at the feast!
God rest the manly spirit gone,
Who sat beside the silent one,
And dreaded him the least.

Mrs. John Underwood, of New

husband in the Black Hills, avers that
she owes her life to songs, which
saved her from a mountain Hon which
attacked her last week. The animal
leaped on the woman, knocked her
down and stood with his forefeet on
her breast. Mrs. Underwood scream
ed, but suddenly remembered that fe
rocious beasts sometimes are tamed by
music, and began to sing. As long as
she sang the animal stood harmless,
but as soon as she ceased It growled
and appeared as If about to kill her.
All night long she kept up her song
and Wednesday morning, when she
was almost overcome by exhaustion,
she wns found by her husband with
the Hon standing over her. Mr. Un
