"EVEN THIS WILL PASS AWAY." Of nil the proverbs quaint nnd sweet. That burdened souls so often ftreet, As some wise voice from ancient clay, There sure Is none In whose belief The worn heart finds such sweet relief, As "Even this will pass away!" When weary hands from early dawn 'Till lengthening eve must labor on, And know not surcease day by day; How gladly comes the sweet'refraiu, That echoes o'er and o'er again, "This, even this, will pass away." When burdens that are hard to lear Would sink the soul 'neath black desialr, And whitening lips refuse to pray; Faith's lovely face e'en then will glow, And sweet her voice that whlsers low, "Hut even this will pass away." When earth to earth and dust to dust Is read above our heart's best trust, And we In anguish turn away; The bitter cup less bitter seems. When through Its dregs the blight truth gleams. That e en this will pass nway. Yea, even this ! With hearts bowed down We stand beside the new made mound, And long to greet the coming day, When weary feet have found a rest; When liaud.s are folded o'er the breast; And all life's woes have passed away. llnrgaret Mellae Lackey in New Orleans Hca- yuue. A WAIL TRAGEDY. If you lmvo never been In the valley of the Tennessee I mean that part of the famous valley that stretches southwest- ward from the great Sand mountain to the Picturesque table lands of Monte Sano. you have missed a scene the fairest of all In that country of fair scenes. 1 will not attempt to describe it. I cannot do it justice. No one can. It is the paradise of north Alabama, and in the heart of that far southern district devastated by war, nnd yet thanks to its protecting bul wark of mountains, its pleasant homes and well tilled lands escaped almost uu bcathed. Not many miles to the north is Lookout mountain and the battiellelds of Mission Kidge and Chlckainauga. Further to tho south and west, and on the same great trunk lino that passes within the shadow of the heights on which Hooker fought his "battle in the clouds," is that already fa mous young city of phenomenal growth, Decatur, and beyond that, t lie new Shef lield and war scarred Corinth. Hut while this corner of the great val ley saw little of either blue coats or gray except, perhaps, an occasional foraging party that vhauce led away from the rail road and into the garden land between the big hills the valley gave its best blood for the cause of tho Confederacy, and sons and brothers left the cotton un picked in the Held to join Urnu'g and his gathering hosts across the border lino of Tennessee, or to follow the fortunes of Morgan or Stuart on their cavalry raids to the north. Hack from the Tennessee, in a cove pro tected from the northers by tho broad back of Monte Sano, a hardy mountain farmer had built a house of uncut stone a poor place at best, but a home for the Kike of what was in it. It was not a typical southern home, for the good wife and m'other was housekeeper, dairymaid and gardener all in one, while tile two strapping boys, with their father, did tho work which on other plantations fell to the task of the nemo slaves. At tho nearest, store, at Maysville, old John Kogers was, with indiscriminate courtesy, dubbed 'colonel." Why, he never knew. Perhaps- no one else did. Even before the war military titles were popu lar in Dixie. Xow they are all colonels. St few privates escaped the war. Among the negroes "Col." John was looked upon with some disdain. A man who "worked" his farm without a single black "boy" was not likely to win the re upect of "the quarters" at the big plan tations on the river. Farmers who worked were "poo-ah white trash" in those days of easy indolence. Hut "Col." John thrived for all that, and never a home in all the broad valley was happier than in the little covo under the bhadw of Monto Sano. News travels slow in the country. In those days few newspapers found their way into the Tennessee valley of Ala bama, and tho first shock of war at Fort Sumter was too far away to alTect the tranquility of the people by the great river. Then came the frantic call for troops by the government at Montgomery, and tho great valley was at last awakened to tho horrors of war. A recruiting olllco was opened at Huntsville, ten miles away, on the other side of Monte Sano, and hus bands, and fathers, and sons left their homes and people and went away to tho war. The valley of the Tennessee was desolate. The negroes went flocking northward in search of the army of eman cipation, and the cotton was left in tho balls to spoil. There came n time when even food was scarce, and beef was worth its weight in the strange new scrip the Confederate government had issued. 'Col." John fared worse than many, although for months after the boys of tho lower valley had gone away into Tennes see, his sons yielded to the wish of the old folks and stayed at home. The time came, however, when honor compelled them to go, and they went; but the eyes of the aged mother were wet with tears, and tho face of the white haired "Col." John was strangely old, when they bade their boys good-by. There aro brave hearts here at homo v i.o remember those sad farewells, when in boys in blue went far away to fight and dio on these .southern battiellelds. There wore the same sad partings in many a southern home, and the war left hun dreds of decimated families in that fair valley. Months passed and then years. Oc casionally letters from the absent soldier boys came to the old folks in the cove, but they wore few and very far between. They had gone north and enlisted in tho Army of Virginia. They had been at Hull Hun aud had been on the peninsula in the checkerboard operations of MfClellan'a camiMiigu. The latest letter, scribbled in pencil aud written in lmiu, and read in that little home with aching yet thankful hearts, told of good health and Confeder ate success. Sido by side the brothers had fought, as yet unhurt. Now thoy were to go with Leo into tho laud of promise the rich, corn growing valleys of Pennsyl vania. Gettysburg camo, and tho Army of Vir ginia, rudely awakened lYoru its victorious security, was burled back ucmaa Mary laud and Into Virginia aifulu by the mili tary geuius of Meade. In the carnage of tho Am day the older brother wan klllwl.

Uutlt l ult) hurg was slow in reaching the little home by Monte Sano, but when it did come it brokt' the spirit of "Col." John nnd turned still whiter tho head of the sweet faced mother; for it was said that In the battle both boys had fallen under the shower of Federal bnlls. It was not long before there was a "burying" from the house in the cove, nnd the body of "Col." John was laid to rest among the pines he loved so well. And the mother? She too would gladly have died, but nature was too strong. The time enme, moreover, when she was glad that death had spared her, for there came to her from far away Fort Delaware a letter from her surviving boy, telling of the older brother's death and the younger one's imprisonment. She read the letter many times, nnd as tho tears rolled down her sunken cheeks, she fell on her knees nnd thanked God that one son at least had been spared to her. A sudden reso lution possessed her. She would leave the little home in the cove and go away to tho north. She would go to Fort Dela ware, and they would not refuse to let a mother see her son even a "Confederate" mother. Once she had looked upon his face again she would have courage to wait for his release. Traveling was slow. Weeks passed bo fore she was enabled to get through the opposing lines and into Washington. At last, dying from want, sorrow ami fatigue, she stood in the commandant's room at Fort Delaware with written permission to see and speak with the boy she loved so well. They tell sad stories of Fort Delaware in the south. They call it the Libbv ( prison of the north I don't like to be- lievo it. Neither do you. They sav that after a certain engagement the northern generals accused the Confederates of out rageous cruelty, .and in retaliation a scoro or more prisoners were taken from tho fort and ignominiously hanged. Perhaps they are mistaken, and that there were better grounds for hanging than that. By some means a rumor had gained credence in tho prisoner's barracks that something of the kind was to take place, while the impression prevailed that special vengeance was to be meted out to the sol diers of Alabama, because of alleged out rages committed by regiments from that state. Young Hogers was not a coward, but he had no desire to meet so unsol dierly a death. With that inventive genius which develops so rapidly among those held in confinement, tho prisoners in Hogers' "gang" dugout the stonework and earth under one of the banks, and thus secured, not only a comparatively safe hiding place for pilfered provisions', but also for one or more of their number when occasion demanded that they should Keep under cover for a time. The rumor that retaliatory measures were in order struck consternation to many a brave heart, and when, for any reason, a Federal orderly came to the pris oners' barracks and called the name of a "Johnny Heb," there was a general feel ing of misgiving, and an effort made, when possible, to discover for what pur pose the prisoner was wanted before answering to his name So that when one day the barracks were excited to a fever point by tho calling of a dozen names or more, and the name of "Joo Hogers" rang with startling distinctness in the ears of that young Alabamian, he did not wait to be seen, but hurriedly crawled into tho "grub" hole, and held his breath for fear of discovery and tho consequences that would follow. Threo times the orderly called: "Joe Hogers! Joe Hogers! Joe Rogers!" rang through rlie long corridor. Then the prisoners crowded nround, and the orderly seemed to bo unaware that Hogers had failed to answer to his name. Ho went away, and on the records it was written that Joe Hogers had been transferred as even the olllcers thought to be hanged. A sad look came into tho face of tho commanding ollicer when the white haired woman gave him the slip of paper that to her meant so much. "Hogers is not hero now," ho said, finally. She looked at him, dazed by the intelli gence. "Not here?" "No; ho has been transferred ' "Where?" The ofllcer had a heart. "I I do not know," he said. He could not tell that sad eyed woman what he be lieved to bo the truth. But ho could not deceive her. "Ho is dead!" she cried, wildly, nnd tottering forward she clasped her hnnds across her breast and sank into a chair. "My poor boy!" she sobbed. "I loved you so, and yet I was too Intel" Tho parched lids closed over tho snd gray eyes: the tired head fell forward; tho nervous lingers relaxed their hold. "Come," said the ollicer, kindly; "you must go now. I cannot permit you to re main here." There was no answer. "I am waiting" ho began, and then ho paused abruptly. Something strange in her appearance startled him, and ho stooped down and peered into her face. As he did so tears came into his eyes. The sweet faced mother would never see the valley of the Tennessee agaiu. She was dead! News flies in jails as it flies elsewhere. In his hiding place that night young Hogers was told tho story of his mother's death. Strong man though ho was, tho shock was almost more than ho could bear, and he grieved bitterly at the thought that, even dead, ho might not look upon her face. But he was glad for ono thing. There were kind hearts among the boys in blue, and they took tho body of th dead mother across to New Castle, and there in the old church yard rever ently laid it to rest. Hogers managed to escape detection for tho few weeks remaining before the close of tho war. After the surrender he was liberated and returned to Alabama.

I found just this side of Hear Wallow a young fellow nnmed Longdistilled Peterson, and a little further on I fell in with a ' gentleman named Allwool Jones. Mr. I Allwool Jones was a circuit rider, he i informed me, nnd ho asked me to stop at a small log church and hear him i preach. I did so, and must say that 1 All wool's sermon was more than a yard i wide. Ono afternoon I stopped at a house and addressed a young fellow who Kit on the fence: ' 'Who lives here? " 'We do.' " 'Yes, but who are "we"?1 I " 'Pap, innr an' the rest ttv us.' ! "Just then a man came out, and as ho approached, said: 'Six, git down olTen that fence an' lie'p Four chop some wood.

My host's namo was Beasley and was kin to old Ham Bledsoe what lives in middle Tenncssy near Drake's creek summers.' Mrs. Beasley moved a lot of clothes which she hud hung in front of the lire, kicked a eat, spanked witli a shovel an enormous brindle dog, and told mo to feel easy, for she would get a snack to eat after a while. I had never seen so many children belonging to one family. Look which way 1 might I caught sight of dirty faces and tow heads. " 'You have quite a family,' I Kiid to Mr. Beasley. " 'Uutlier, but wo live in er big neighborhood, whar we've till got room.' " 'I should think that you would have found some trouble in selecting names for all your children.' " 'I didn't, though. I know that a great many folks havo had trouble in that way, an' I was determined to steer cl'ar uv it, so I 'dopted a rule; an' when tho fust chilo was born wo called him One. The next was named Two, the next Three, an' so on. W'y, it worked like a charm, and wo didn't have a bit uv trouble. I would advise ever'body to 'dopt tho rtilo.
