"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.

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.

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.

"Do you not Cnd in Tennessee many

asked a friend who had just returned
from a visit among the hills.
I "Yes, for Christum names or rut her

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.'

ho approached, said: 'Six, git down

'won't you git down?' As I was in much

yelled. 'Come here. Seven, an' take tho

"I was conducted into the house, and
in that cordial manner tho peculiar so

a lot of clothes which she hud hung in

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

tow heads.
" 'You have quite a family,' I Kiid
to Mr. Beasley.
" 'Uutlier, but wo live in er big

" '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
