-I*l2-—!-—- .... ! 1e Jane our soldiers cvnehome. — I They had been expected for several days I aod great preparations had bean going i co araong the women tor their reception. ■ A table was erected io the old Beech Woods, and there the wive, mothers, sis- ] ters, and sweethearts of the returning soldiers were gathered to greet them with ■ a bounteous feast of homely but hearty i fara. Ido not purpose a description of the happy scene, when the soldiersl marchea in through the bars, tn careless order, with tattered flag flying, and tbe band playing a merry air. As they seared the woods, tbe boys broke from tbe ranks in confusion and rushed forward pell-mell. There were embracing sad tears of joy. Mary Ostrander looked on the scene but for one moment; then she turned to tbe table and busied herself in arranging what was already in perfect order. The soldiers gathered about the board, and dough nuta and cheese vanquished before them, as did caldrons of steaming coffee, the soldiers own beverage. Wbat happiness there was in those honest brown faces! 1 watched Mary with feverish anxiety in that hour. There was that in her face to day that bade me hope. Once 1 fancied 1 saw her lip quivsr; it was when a wagon drove into the woods, Irom which there crept down the ghastly, emaciated form of Mark only survivor of the band of prisoners that had entered Libby prison after the battle of the Wilderness. Mark looked about him with an inquiring glance; he waa searching for Sarah Buswell, who was at his side that moment, and embraced the wreck of her lover with a passion of tears but dried them bravely in au instant after to minister to Mark’s comfort.

I went up to him after be was placed in the big arm chair that had been prepared fur him, and took bis hand “Heres the old schoolmaster," said Mark, with a faint smile. “Johnny’s dead, I bear. Where’s Mary OsUandeiV’ She was al the table. "Bring ber." Mary obeyed the summons, and Mark took ber hand in hia. ,'You're wonderfully changed, Mary," said Mark. “I never should have known you. You miss Johnny, I know. Here! he gave me this ring for you." He drew the ring from one of his etnao ated finger-i and placed it on Mary's who shut her hand to keep it there, and then looked steadily at it for an instance. The fountain opened. From beneath the tight-shut lids of her beautiful eye* two great teara stole, and rolled slowly down ber cheeks. She was saved. Thia ends the story of that one of my schoolara. Mark Lowenstein is recovering, and it is believed be will soon be well. Mrs. Ostander is dead, and you may see Mrs. Curtis and her adopted daughter Mary now any evening in their common home.—Two lonely, lonely women; but every heart in Dale Manor is tender to them, and holds them kin. A Message from Over the River. John H. Newman, stricken with apoplexy the other day, and for several hours quite on the verge of the unknown beyond the river, is again on his pins Interrogated by a leading democrat today, as to what he saw and beard in the other world, he remarked in reply. “1 saw the devil and be asked if I knew you. Told him 'yes.' (couldn’t deny it, you see) and curling up on the end of bis tail he said, ‘tell him if he ever votes the democratic ticket again I’ll forclue an old mortgage on him instanter.” — La fayette Courier. There is an air'of probability about the above story. The radicals doing the devil’s work on earth it is quite natural the devil should electioneer for them But we advise the “leading democrat" to pay no attention to the devil's threats, but to do hia duty, regardless of congequende. We do not believe the horned and hoofed colleague of Thad Stevens holds any mortgage.— lnd. Herald.

Pork. —An English paper says the trichniae cannot live at the temperstare of boiling water, so that thorough cooking, bj boiling, of infected p. k. is all that it required to render it hai.nlese This rtminds the Hartford Prest os the old lady's advice, ••always eat your chestnuts biled, my son. Biltd worms don't never hart nobody." An old “pine tree shilling’* of Massachusetts coinage, of the very old and rare date, 1652, was picked up a day or two ago by Orin Loomis, of West Springfield an old man of seventy-five, while walk ing in his own fields. The letters upon the coin, the figure of the old tree, date and all, have been distinctly preserved Major James F. Milligan, the well known chief of the signal corps of General Lee’s army of northern Virginia, has been offered a similar position in the Imperial army of Austria; by the Emperor Francis Joseph. General Wigfall, ex confederate senator from Texas, is in London, and is about starting out to lecture on the ne gro, beginning in the jungles of Africa and concluded with a review of his present position in America. In a speech which he recently delivered at Mineapolia, Minnesota, General T. W. Sherman said: "1 have studied politicals, and have learned by imitating them, to talk a few minutes without j laying anything at all.” (great laughter and cheers )
