[At the annual meeting of the Rhode Is- I land Press Association Mr. E. P. Tobey, of the Providence Journal, read the following poem, in which he happily illustrates the influence of the weekly journal.] The editor sat in his chair alone A busier person there never was known When in came a farmer, a jolly old soul, Whose name for long years had been borne C on the roll t Of paying subscribers. He had come into town To bring his good wife and some farm pro- I duce down, C And having a moment or two he could t spare Had run in as usual, to bring in a share C Of his own inward sunshine, to lighten the t gloom C Of the man of the press and his dull cheer less room. The editor's smile, as be lifted his eyes And saw who was there, was of joyful sur- p prise; And he greeted his friend with a deal of glad zest, i For a good chat witi him was like taking a rest. f ! * # w ! #S When at length, the old farmer got ready to leave, He said, with a sly little laugh in his sleeve, C "My dear friend, there is one thing Ijust C want to say Now, please don't get vexed, for you know it's my way But what makes you put in each paper you a print So much that is worthless-do you take the hint? Well-petty mifortunes-and little mis- d deeds- n And lots of small matters that nobody reads." The editor looked at him square in the face, a At first with a frown, then a smile took its i place, a "My dear friend," he replied, "I'm sur' prised you don't know e Every line in the paper is read-but it's so; e And now, if you wish, I will make my words c good, And prove what I say, as every man should I'll put in the very next paper a line Or two about you-in coarse print or fine S Whichever you choose, and just where you t) may say, And' if von don't find on the very next day o Thu t your neighbors all read it, i promise to t give it Free -subscriptions to you, just as long as you live." "Agreed," said the farmer, "you shall sing a new song; T Put it right in the middle of one of those d long Fine-type advertisements-I never yet knew Any person of sense to read one of those through; d If I hear from it twice, I will bring down to you The best load of garden sauce I ever grew." W Then the "gpod days" were passed, and the I farmer went out, And the editor laughed to himself without doubt, As he thought of his wager and how it a would end, -a And the nice little joke he would have on his friend; Then he wote just two lines, and he or- e dered them set hi In the smallest of type-thinking, "I'll win that bet." And he placed them himself, to be sure and ~ not fail, C In the midst of a close agate real estate sale. For, to better succeed in his little designs, He'd selected a place where to put these two lines 0 And have them connected with what fol- b lowed and 'make A sentence complete in itself', without break. These the lines that he wrote: "Our old F friend, good James True, Who is one of the best men the world ever e knew, Of the well-known Hope Farm"-that was C all that he said C About James, but the line next below these ii two read ."Will be sold very cheap"-then went on to unfold 1 The beauties and bound, of the estate to be b sold, The paper was printed. The next day but one, The farmer came in, with his eyes full of fun; "You have won," he began, "Just as sure as you're born; Why, before I'd got breakfast ate yesterday 1 morn, S Two or three of my neighbors called, pur pose to see What that meant in the paper they saw about me. (1 hadn't.seen it yet.) Then during the daysg Every neighbor that met me had something to say About my being sold. I was sold very cheap, And you did it well, too; it was too good to, t keep So I've told the whole story, and come with all speed To bring you the garden sauce, as I agreed.'' The editor looked from his window and saw His friend had brought in all his horse could drawn All for him; he declined to accept It, but i found . 'F That his friend would not listen, and was off with a bound, Saying, cheerily, as he went out-"MIn your 1 next 's i Just say Jim True's preaching, and this is his text;F There Is naught in the paper-fruit, flowers, F or weeds Not a line in-the paper that nobody reads." a A carload of coal from Pocahon- a tas, the first ever received direct e from the Virginia mines, has been t consigned at Norfolk. t From the Detroit Free Press. TEALING OUT OF WYAGE LER1 -0 Elow Confederates Lived in a Hell-Creeping and Crouebing and Crawling to the Prey-Va. eating a Hot Boarding House Between two Suns. --o Early in September, 1863, it be ame plain to the Confederates that hey could not hold Forts Wagener ,nd Gregg many days longer. The ron-clads had pounded them from ne side and Gilmore's troops from he other, and that the greater part f Morris Island would soon be in ne hands of the Federals was a onclusion which must be met and repared for. And now here was the grimness f war. The sand forts had been :veled to the surface three or four imes over, and yet repairs had een made and the garrison rein >rced. They had the iron-clads n the one hand and the Federal ifantry on the other, and it had Dme to that pass that a finger Duld not be lifted abdbe the para et without finding a sharp-shooter atching for it. Gilmore had bout thirty guns in a semi-circle efore Wagener,- and not satisfied ith raining tons of shot and shell aily upon the work, he began a ew movement. Here was the terrror of war-sap nd mine. Foot by foot, inch by ich, the Federals had crept as near s was possible, rolling their sand arthworks before them almost as asily as one could roll bales of Dtton. Within pistol shot of the arapet they halted. War had now ecome cold-blooded murder. A ,rip of sand not 400 feet wide, was ie neutral ground, and the Tiger f War raved back and forth over is in search of blood. He found -blood by the gallon by the bar f-blood flowing out upon the 'bite sands until the tracks of the 'iger could be plainly seen in the ampness. BLOCKING THE PATH. The iron-clads could neither re ace Fort Sumter nor pass in, and e attempt to reach Charleston by ay of Seccssionville had failed. the Federals could gain posses on of Morris Island, Charleston ould be under the fire of common etillery and Fort Sumtor could be btackcd from a new side. Gilmore had secured the lower aid of the island and intrenched is position, but he could advance o further until Wagener and Gregg ere overcome. Wagener had re Aived the most terrific pounding *om the iron-clads-a fire so fierce aid continuous that army and navy t[ficers asserted that all human life ehind the sand piles had been iped out, and yet the echoes of the Lst gu had scarcely died away hen a thousand Confederates merged from the bomb-proofs and olly began making repairs. A Alumn of 3,000 Federals had flung self at the fort. fought with des eration, and retired shattered and roken. A sccond column, stronger y a thousand, had rushed over the itch-up the slopes-over the 'ails of sand-fought hand to hand ith the ferocity of tigers, and !hen the broken ranks were re >rmed within the Federal lines six iudred men were not there to an w'er to their names. Battery Gregg had been pounded t for weary days-its garrison torn pieces by the monster shells, its uns dismounted and its walls torn ut or leveled fiat-but there they !ere, sullen, defiant, and saying to 1e Federal Lion: "We are in your path and pre ared for you !" The English, and the French and ae Germans have their histories of iat great four years' struggle in unerica, and their historians have raised pluck wherever it cropped ut. An American who attempts will be called a patriot for prais ig the one side and a "rebel" for raising the other. There was luck at Wagener and Gregg and umter and Charleston-such pluck nd determination; such uncom lamning sacrifices for the cause*, cch a steadfast purpose to defend very brick and beam and plank to ~e last, as neither Greek nor Spnr ha eve exhibited. FOOT BY FOOT. V When it was finally realized that neither the missiles from the fleet nor the bayonets of the infantry on shore could reduce the forts of sand a it was determined to blow Wagener out of the path of the advance. I Wagener out of the way, Gregg would be evacuated. Beginning about the 15th of July, t the Federal forces may be said to have advanced foot by foot. During the night the sappers would ad vance underground, burrowing their n way with pick and shovel, and next s morning the Confederates would n look out upon a new Federal posi- P tion. Wagener was being fought with its own weapon-sand. Its cl sand walls had saved it-other sand P walls were to overwhelm it. Gil- c' more was the Spectre of War. SI His shadow was reaching further it and further up Morris Island, and tc that shadow never moved back- P wards. Where it rested it burned 'o1 into the sand and left a horrible n trace. There was scarcely a day F that the Spectre did not seek to b devour more ground-never a night S that the men who followed it or op- a posed it did not scream out as bul lets tore their flesh. STRIKING AT FATE. In the last days of July the sight - of the gaunt and blood-stained ti Spectre roused the Confederates to 0 fury, and it was planned to throw B enough Infantry upon Morris Island G to make a quick dash at the Fed- O' erals and overwhelm them. The it regiments to make this move had been named, when it was discov ered that lack of transportgtion would prevent, hi Twenty-four hours later it was o realized that the knell of fate was fT about to ring out its warning over a Morris Island. Gilmore the Spectre b was as inflexible as death and as o unyielding as a coffin. A snail a might have progressed faster, but n it was progression just the same. u Each morning saw his tracks of g blood a little nearer-each night p there were burials in the sand hills w behind Wagener. The fort was o1 holding ot-the guns were roaring it defiance at fate, but fate ever con- n quers. i THE LAST SITUATION. Si In the first week of September Gilmore's trenches ended within a stone's throw of Wagener, and were covered from its guns. From here he n could drive mines into its very w bomb proofs, or he could assemble w a sufficient force to make the et chances of a sudden rush almost gi certain. The guns from land and al sea had an enfilading fire, the mor- b< tars had the exact range, and it had ci come to pass at last that Death w groped in every nook and corner ft and bombproof in search of vic- h~ tims. -p4 MAKING READY. Fort Wagener would not surren der, but it must be evacuated. Ev erything was planned in the coolest manner. Only the sandy site, rent and torn by ezplosion3s, was to be left for the Spectre to gloat over. l One of the preliminary steps was to excavate trenches and rifle pits in rear of Wagener. These, filled with the rear guard of the garrison, would check pursuit long enough to enable everybody to escape. Such amnitions of war as could be removed to Gregg and beyond ~ were taken away. At dark on the night of the 6th the evacuation began. The greaterd part of the garrison was withdrawna to the rifle pits, two or three light i guns dragged away with them, and presently the fort which had been u tenanted so long and had withstood so much was without sentinels to challenge or artillerists to fire. GHOSTLY SHADOWS. ix There was a suspicion in the Fed- a1 eral mind that some movement was ol taking place among the Confede. al rates, but whether it was an in crease of garrison or an evacuation n< no one could determine. To be a prepared for any emergency, a g strong calcium light was thrown b] upon the fort from one of the iron F clads. From the vessel it seemed fs as if one could have seen a cat it walking along the parapets, but the el light was deceiving. It was a c1 ghostly glare which betrayed those w who watched instead of those who ta Federal history called it a great I victory, and the masses shouted f glory without counting the cost or k consulting the facts. To-day the sea is pouring across the sand bar in three or four different channeli, r and in a few months more may see white-capped waves rolling over the spot where whole pages of a nation's history were with bayonets dipped in blood.

Grenadines are extremely handsome, being heaily' covered withrich brocadeddsigis; Summer silks are in stylish ging ham patterns or in small and more familiar checks, and distingnished costumes will be made of plain wools united with figured wools, which show geometrical blocks.and circles. Transparent cottons are bestreen with silken figures in con trasting colors; fine cottons are in small checks combined with embro idery or plain material to match, and with both we find embroidery quite a feature. Much of this embroidery is in applique, and it is safe to pre dict something of an embroidered Summer. Cashmeres are heavily imported this season, and satins are again seen; yet are scarcely so safe a choice as gros grain silks, among which the cashemire Marguerite is especially worthy. of not ee, eince it does not turn gray, and beliig made in Geno of thesoft Italian silk, is not liable to crack. Now, when the natural query arises as to how these goods should be made up, I can not do better than refer you to Lord & Taylor's catalogue, sent free on application, which gives fine illustrations not only in this but in all departments of dress, while in connection with each is a carefully prepared fashion article. MILLINERY. The perpetual flatness and close ness of Winter capotes will be re lieved by bonnets on the capote order, but larger, higher, and often showing either a gafland of flowers about the face, or those fillings which will be a feature in new milli nery. Already, even in velvet, we see a few of them, and ay prophet may prophesy a successful Sum mer's campaign. Becall, if you can, an antique cap, such as your grand-mother or great-grandmother might have. worn. These bonnets befrilled are almost exact repro ductions, a band or double band of ribbon passing around and apparent ly binding the whole thing together. Straws will be befrilled with lace, or we shall have entire bonnets of lace and other light materials. Nor must the new "cockscomb bows" be forgotten, for they are a verita ble novelty. Made of narrow satin ribbon, with ends sawed in imita tion of a rooster's comb and set on top of the bonnet, where with roo ster-like effect they will flourish. Poke bonnets will be quite as fash ionable as the larger capotes just mentioned, and for them.likewise the cockscomb bow, or a bunch of flowers just in front, will be popu lar. Velvet ribbon is stylish, but will not be light enough for these peculiar bows, which are composed of satin ribbon from an inch to two inches in width. Immense numbers of straws colored to match costumes are imported, but there are gilt, silver or bronze straws, interlaced with gilt or silver, or more quiet styles, such as Milan braids, English split straws or chips. Hats are both narrow and broad brimmed, trimmed, in any way to suit the fancy, ad oftener trimmed with flowers than feathers.

While the ghostly glare of th< ilcium light fell upon the ram irts, and while the Tiger of Wai Duched in the sand only a few eps away, listening, peering, glar g, 740 men flitted across the sand Battery Gregg without the whis. %r of an alarm. For every pound sand used in constructing Wage ar and repairing it two pounds of ederal iron had been hurled to itter it down, but on this night it ood there as proud and strong id defiant as ever: LEAVING THE ISLAND. Before 10 o'clock the garrison of ragener was rowing away from :orris Island. The men had taker teir muskets, but little eis^. Not ze of the cannon had been saved efore midnight the garrison o regg had left, and there remained ily the party charged with blow g up both works. WHAT WAS TO BE DONE. The intention of the Confederates as to leave nothing but two grea >les in the sand to mark the sites the forts. The orders transacted om headquarters were very plain d 'complete. The guns were tc spiked, the trunnious knocked f and the cartridges broken. Al nmunition was to be placed in the ain magazine, and - time fuses ied for the explosions. The big ins were to be jammed full of )wder, sand shot and arranged ith time-fuses to burt about time the grand explosion. Gregg be g five minutes walk from Wage. r, was to have a ten minutes fuse place of a fifteen, and the pro amme was to have the two explo one occur in the same second. WHAT WAS DONE.
