Folks say we ain't no good Tramps have got to live, I reckon, t Though people don't think we should.

Well, it's the same old story Common enough, you say; But he was a soft-tongued devil, And he got her to run away.

"IN TUE MORNING." -0 A TRUE INCIDENT OF THE WAR, -0 -Do you see that young lady in ( white talking with Clark ?' The speaker was a tall, dis- a tinguished looking man of 35 in the uniform of a cavalry colonel in the Confederate service. The time was a summer night in 1863; t the place, the hotel parlor in ar small village in Middle Tennessee. The occasion was a 'hop' given inr honor of the presence of a de tachment of 'Forrest,'s Cavalry,' the daring riders whose names are 4 household words in Southern homes, from the mountains of j Tennessee to the valleys of thei Mississippi. The young lady re-. ferred to was a pretty, graceful girl with dark gray eyes, waving hair of reddish gold, and the ex quisite complexion that accom patnies it. 'Who is she ?' asked the Col onel's companion. 'That is Picton's sweetheart, Miss Garnett.' 'Not the same that Raved his life after Shilohb?' said Capt. Bar lay. 'The same,' rejoined Col. Terry. 'She is a little creatune to do such a thing, but she did. You see she was in the neighborhood at the time of the battle, and somebody told her that Picton was killed. She went over the field and found him, badly wounded through the longs, but still alive. She sent a boy that she had brought with her to hunt up a surgeon, and she stayed by Pieton. The boy found Dr. Cowan, and when they got back Miss Garnett had raised Picton up, with his head on her breast, so that he could breathe more easily. Dr. Cowan exam ined the wound without moving him, and told her that he was afraid it was hopeless, for the least motiotn, even laying him down again. might produce a fatal hemorrhage. If. he coLd be kept perfectly quiet until morning and the bleeding checked during the night he might have 'a bare chance of pulling through.' 'Well,' said the brave little woman, 'be shall be kept quiet, for I will stay just here and not let him move.' And, by George, she did; she never stirred all night, and in the morn in ycarried him to the near st house and she nursed him nn il he was out of danger.' 'That's a sweetheart worth hav ng,' said Capt. Barclay, with a ,lance of admiration at the sub ta of their conversation. Half an hour later, Col.. Terry vas at Miss Garnett's side, receiv ng a warm greeting that told hat the two were fast friends. 'Tell me of all my friends in the id batallion,' sbe said presently. 'low many ?' he asked quiz ingly ; 'more than one?' 'J mean what I say,' she an wered, with a merry laugh and a uick, bright blush ; 'I have kcard from 'one' of them very re ently.' 'Does Charley know you are ere ?' asked the Colonel. 'No; it is not a week since I oft Memphis. Will they join yon kere ?' 'They ?' he replied inquiringly. 'The rest of the command, I neaun,' she replied, blushing again. 'A portion of it may, but for bat part you are particularly nterested in I cannot say. You :now they are with the old Gen ral, and their movements can't e counted on with any great cer ainty.' 'They - are the -comets of the ervice,' said Miss Garnaett. 'Quite s erratic, at all events.' 'May I have the pleasure of this ance ?' said the Colonel as the and struck up a quadrille. 'I now it is usecless to ask you for waltz.' The dance over, he led her to a hair, and, after a moment's gay adinage, was about to resign his lace in favor of the other claim ,nts for her smiles, when he saw sudden ghastly pallor over pread her features. 'Miss Alice, you are ill I' he ex laimed anxiously. 'Let me get ou some water.' It was scarcely a moment be :ro his return, but even then he 7as shocked at her white, drawn Ace. 'Call my sister!' she said to nothergentloman with her, while o!. Terry had gone for the water, nd both had reaehed her at the ame time. 'Lucy take me home,' she wbis ered,- 'I am dying.' 'Oh, no dling,' said her sister, enderly, .'you will be well in the norning.' As quick as possible the car iage was called and the sick girl >laced in it. When they were just starting 301. Terry wished them goodi iight, expressing his hope that' iss Alice would have recovered >y morning. She put out her iand, and exerting her strength, aid distinctly : 'Yes, I shall be well in the n~oning. Tell Chaley-' her roice failed, and lifting her slim vhite hand, loosened t,be flowers he wore at her breast and put ~hm into the Colonel's hands. Give these to him-yes in the norning.' Her voice died away o a faint whisper, anid her head ell on her sister's shoulder. The ady who acted as their chaperon astened to apply restoratives, ad the carriage rolled swiftly away. The next morning when Col. 'erry called to inquire after the nvalid he had no need to ask, for rom the door there floated the rournful insignia of death. Shock 3d beyond expression, that hardy soldier turned away, unable then I. even offer his services if they were needed. He went again af er awhile and saw Mrs. Cam ron, the hostess of the sisters luring their visit. From her he learned the brief details of Alice's Ueath. Tier attack had been a sudden spasm of the heart, and she had never rallied. She had not spoken but once, and they caught her lover's name, and a repetition of the words, 'in the morning.' 'Poor Charley, who will tell him,' groaned the Colonel, when the lady's voice ceased. 'You are his best friend,' she answered. 'I think no one else could do it so gently.' 'I can't,' he replied, shaking his head. 'I would rather face a bat. tery. Why. von don't know, you can't tinkr ' his very life seems bound up in her; and now They buried her next morning; six of Picton's friends carried his dead love to ber gravo and then came sadly back. each questioning who would bear the tidings to the gallant sabreur far away with the old brigade. That night the order came to join the main command, and by daylight the troops were miles away. As they reached the vi cinity of the appointed rendezvous a desultory firing warned them of an approching conflict. Present ly they formed themselves in the midst of a portion of the com mand, drawn up in a piece of woods overlooking a sloping field, which on the opposite side rose to a sharp eminence, on the brow of which was posted a Federal bat tery. Farther to the right the firing had become sharper, and soon the roll of musketry swept all along the line. 'I say, Barclay,' called Col. Ter ry, as the officer passed him, 'have you seen Picton yet?' And as Barclay shook his haead, added, 'Tell the boys not to let him know yet. Wait till this is over.' 'All right; I'll tell them,' an swered Barclay, as he rode away. :The old General will be want ing that battery the first thing they know,' said one of the men, as a shell exploded over their heads. 'They had better keep it quiet.' 'Thar, what did I tell you?' he added, biting off a buge piece of 'long green ;' 'thar go the Missis sippi boys now.' As he spoke a tawny column moved out of the woods and swept gallantly across the field. But as they reached the center a mur derous round of grape and canister tore through the ranks and the column broke in .-onfusion. Three times their leader rallied them to the charge, and three times they were shattered by the galling fire 'Tell you what, boys,' called out the private who had before spok en. 'Thar's fun comi' now! That's Gang's bugle. The 'old regiment want some of the pie!' He stooped and felt his saddle girth as he spoke, then straight ened himself and waited for the command, for he was 'one of the boys.' The next moment there was a ringing cheer from the ranks as Gen. Forrest rode up. 'Boys,' he exclaimed, pointing with his sword, 'I want that bat tery captured. One regiment has tried, and couldn't take it. Now I want you boys to do better than that. I1 am going to lead you and I want you all to follow me.' Another cheer was the answer, as the men fell into ranks. 'Charge!' and down the slope rode the gallant 'old regiment,' never faltering as the grape shot swept through serried ranks clos ing each gap as it was made by the deadly fire ; on, on, following the lead of the tall figure at the head of the column, till tbey rode right over the death-dealing guns, 'sab'ring the gunners there,' and the woods gave back the ringing eches of the famous 'rebel yell' as the victory was won. WonI Yes, but at a fear ful cost. That fatal slope was drenched with the blood of the Southland's bravest sons. After the charge Col. Terry found himself face to face with Charley Picton. 'My God, howe can I tell him ?' muttered the Col onel to himself as the gallant young fellow rode toward him, holding out his hand.. 'It takes the 'old regiment' to do up things in tyles!' he said, grasping the Colonel's hand. 'Say, Terry, did you see Miss Alice Coleman bas just got back from Memphis. and told me she had goue on a visit to some friends in C-. But as he spoke he suddenly put his hand to his side. 'I am~ shot,' he gasped, faintly. It wva! true. A stray ballet had struck him in the side, and Col. Terry caught him as he reeled in his sad dIe and rode with him to the field hospital. When the surgeon examined the wound he shook his head douhtf'nlly. 'I know a doctor worth twenty doctors,' whispered Picton with a smile. -Terry, can'tyou fetch her to me ?' Through the night the Colonel stayed with him. Once be awak. ed and repeated the question he had asked just before he was shot. '1 saw her, yes.' the Colonel an swered buskily. 'She sent you sone flowers.' The blue eyes lighted up with a tender glow, and Picton held out his hand. Silently Col. Terry took from his breast pocket the withered flowers, a spray of ivy and a half opened white rose and laid them in the outstretched hand. The wounded man slept. But in a couple of hours he woke, much worse, and the surgeon in his rounds told the bronzed watch. er that the end was very near. 'Terrv!' and the Colonel bent his head to catch the faint accent. 'I'm dying. I wouldn't mind only-poor Alice! Tell her, gent ly please-sb e loves me, you know -and I, ob Terry I it is bard to leave her. My poor darling.' For a moment the Colonell could not answer. Then, chok ing back, a sob, he said, slowly and distinctly. 'Charley, Alice is waiting for you. You are not leaving her, but are going to her.' A bewildered troubled look came into the wistful blue eyes. 'Don't you understand me, Char ley ? She is dead. We buried her there in C-. I couldn't tell you before, dear boy. But now you will be with her before you have time to grieve after her. She died with your name on her lips, murmuring of meeting you in the morning, He understood now, and a smile of relief flitted across his pale lips. 'Dear girl,' he murmured, 'I am so glad she will not bave this grief to bear.' Then be slept again and the hours passed on until the eastern sky brightened with solemn dawn light. 'Terry!' The word was but the faintest whisper, but the watcher instantly bent bis head to listen. 'It is morning,' came the faint, gasping accents, and again the white lids drooped over the blue eyes. Five-ten minutes passed. Then Col. Terry lifted the dead hands and crossed them over the pulseless breast, reverently cov ered the still, white face and turn ed away. His two friends had met once more-'in the morning' of a fade less day.- Courier-Journal. iseulauefus. FOR THE HERALD. New York Fashions. Out Door Garmens-Street Costumes-Even ing Dresses-Patti's Toilettea-Holidaly Fancy Work. It matters little if your costume be at fault, provided you have a fur lined cloak, since faults are covered by an expanse that reaches within two or three inches of the lower edge. That expanse too is graceful in contour; enveloping the person without bulki ness; convenient because of the large sleeves, rendering it easy to put on; comfortable because warm. Equipped in one of these cloaks, you defy not cnly the outer air but the utmost acumen of the feminine gaze. for even gaze must rest contented by,the rich attractions of Sicilienne, brocade or satin. Of course there are minor differenees among these clnaks :Some being handsomer than others, but none are more attractive in shape than the Grovsenor pelisse which has plaitings set in the lower part of the back seams and graduated plaitings that form the sleeves. Then come the family of redingotes and equal to Scotchmnan's clan they are. Made of the various mixed cloths they have a tribe-like resem blance, but vary in lesser points, since some are dark, others light etc., etc. They too envelope the figure but it is in a more business like way. Last, but not least, arc jackets of mixed cloth while near akin are basques-the latter most generally of rich mai ash as plnsh or vplet. STREET COSTUMES. The Granville is a jaunty model for a street jacket : double breasted, tight Etting, and with the Melissa over ikirt forms are excellent outfit. The Dverskirt which would combine with almost any corsage or walking skirt, is arranged with a shawl pointed %pron draped in plaits at the left side and in shirrings on -the right. An )tLer stylish street costume is the bsotta, made with narrow plaited ruffles around the lower edge, gathered aounces above, plain in front and kilt plaited at the sides and back. A full drapering hangs at the back and a draped apron in front. The basque is double breasted and tight fitting. Of course for street wear, an addition f furs will soon be made. Large apes, seal sacques and seal dolmans are 1ll fashionable, to say nothing of fur lined circulars and the fur lined ,loaks mentioned above. The most decided novelty however: as I observe by Lord & Tayor's Catalogue, is a euirass of seal or beaver far without sleeves, while equally new is a plaited hunter's jacket of seal or beaver with belting in at the waist. These last are intended for youthful belles only. EVENING DRESSES. The largest figures on upholstering goods are no larger than those on evening fabrics while for combination we have material where one mam moth stripe terminates only to be succeeded by another. Manifestly these huge floral patterns must be allowed some natural sway and so we find them disposed in the lengthened sweep of court trains or the plain surface of a front breadtb while sand wiched in the interval between are the broad striped fabrics. More mod est evening costumes are of plain satin combined with gauze, grenadine or cashmere, and these are usually short. Sleeves are often virtually ignored, yet elbow sleeves are seen, while the changes are rung on square and heart shaped necks since the-gen uine low neck is conspicuously absent from evening asseablies. Most of ADELINA PATTI'S COSTUMES have ebow sleeves. A white satin and gauze toilette is throughout an in,tricate mass of plaitings and shir rings, made with court train, ali in one, heart shaped neek and elbow sleeves ; gloves a pale tan color, long and wrinkled, with diamond earrings and pin. A second toilette is of creamy white satin richly embroidered on the front breadth with flowers in natural colors ; court train ; bodice pointed back and front ; elbow sleeves ; square neck with garland of leaves en circling and terminated by large bou quet on left shoulder ; long loose tan colored gloves, with narrow dia mond bracelets and earrings. A blue and white satin toilette is made baby waist, shirred on front and sides with court train and trimmings of crystal passementreries. Elbow sleeves, long loose tan colored gloves, various nar row bracelets and pearl earrings. HOLIDAY PRESENTS. Ladies here arc already busy in prepnring their Christmas presents. Stamped designs on linen are very fash ionable for tidies, table covers etc., and for outlining. The Florence etch ing silk is used because it does not split or fray, is soft even and every way desirable. Quite an impetus too has of late been given to knitting where favorite articles are silken laces for baby blankets and skirts as well also as mittens, wristers, socks, stock. ings and long purses. The latter are are a return as we know to old ideas, but all are really because nothing is so fashionable now as something 'antique. Made of the Florence knit ting silk, many of these handiworks are beautiful. LUCY CARTER. A Jersey City husband who re mained out until midnight and for got the story be had cooked up to tell his wife fainted away in the hail s she met him.-Detroit Free Press. He had been telling her stories of himself, and had done a great amount of bragging. When he had firiished she kissed him and murmured, 'Thiu is a kiss for a blow.'-Puck. Talk 'about unkissed kisses' and 'unthunk thoughts.' It is the u voted vot's that make half the mis chief in poli&ics. An election, like a circus, is gen erall carried on under a canvass. 'If you won't be saucy to me, I won't be saucy to you,' saud little FAnny when her motheieproved her for sauciness. Fanny's mother, perhaps, had never thought that a parent could be guilty of sauciness, but I often think of the child's remark when children speak disrespectfully to their parents. I can usually see that they have brought it upon themselves-that more patience and gentleness on the pirent's part would have prevented the hasty reply. Parents certainly should treat their children with respect. Bot as though the children were their superiors, but as though they had rights which all were bound to respect, and feelings which the parents should regard, and tastes and preferences worthy of reas onable consideration. - Children so treated will not be teinpted to serious impudence. I do not say that they will never speak words that sound saucy.* The only way to prevent that, is to bring-thein up in a state of constant fear, so that they never speak -at all ex cept in well-considered 4ords. If children feel free and easy and confidential with their parents, they wfllbe apt to addres'thein sometimes very much s they do -their playmates of their own age, and sometimes this will seem disre spectful when no disrespecti ien tended. Of course we should try to teseh them good maiers, and this includes gentle and respiect ful behavior, but if we send them to school or allow them to play with . their little neighbors, they wil probably pick up --expres. sions that wo cannot-admire, and use them in- the faily.- Few chil dren of natural independence or spontaneity have never said 'I won't' to their parents.
