Of the whole number of interments
indicated aboVe there are about 6i,90
known and 1,500 unknown civilians, and
6,100 known, il,2ti0 unknowin Conteder
ates. Of these latter the greater por
tion are buried at Woodlawn (Xemetery,

e13e'y, near Balem, N. J. The inten
ments at Mexico City are mainly of
those who were killed or died in that
vicinity during the Mexicain war, and
include also such citzen1 of the United
States as may haie died n .Mexioo, and
who under treaty provison have the
right of burial theremn.* From the fpre
going it will appear that after making
all proper deductions for civilians and
Confederates there are gathered in the
various places mentioned the remains of
nearly 840,000 men, who at one time
wore the blu, durmng the late war and
who ylded up their liVes in defense of

RETRIBUTION,
He was a pretty little fellow of per
haps 5 years, and he I oked through the
window of the resta nt with hungry,
longing eyes at the big cakes and rows
of temptmg pies; at laat flattenkng his
little nose against the glass as if to be '
nearer the beautiful viands was more
satisfying. There was something in his C
appearance which was so different from '
the ordinary little street boy that 1 first '
stopped and looked, then addressed
him with :
" Are you hungry, little boy?"
He then turned quickly, gave a little '
nod, and said laconically:
"Awful I"
" Well, suppose we go in there and
get something to eat ?" .0
The child's face brightened; then he 1
hesitated and said, dubiously:
"Maybe mamma wouldn't like me
to."i
"Where is your mamma? How came
you here alone ?"
"She's home, sick. I've runned
away;" and he looked up in my face
with big, brown eyes in which there was
a sparkle of mischief.
" Run away, have you? I am afraid
that is very naughty; won't your mam
ma be anxious ?"
" Oh she's sick, she's awful sick I And
I ain't had anything to eat to-day "
"Have you any brothers and sisters?"
The little face sobered at once as he
said :
" No, pnlv Eloise, and she's gone
away, and papa's gone away, and maa
ma says maybe ehe's going away, and
she don't know what'll come of me." r
"Who is Eloiseo? Your sister?"
" 1Yes'm."t
"Where has she gone? Won't she
come back ?"
"No, she ain't never coming back -
they put her in a jittle blacke box and
took her to heaven, and mamma cried* ;
she said she wouldn't never come back
again, and, I haven't anybody to play1
with now."
"Eloise !" The name had struck a
chord in my heart which awakened
painful memories, and while the little T
fellow was talking my mind had sitrayed '
back to years ago, and a vision of a C
beautiful false friend rose before myt
eyes. Suddenly I asked the child his 1
name..
" Edwin Alexander Anderson." t
For an instant I felt faint and sick,
happy wife' and mother though I now
am. . That name brought back to me a
time of wretchedness never to be forgot- 2
ten, and I almost felt like turning away fa
and leaving the child--M. child-to his
fate. But, thank Heaven I the impulse 3
was only for a moment ; I knew now
why those brown eyes thrilled me so;
but with the impulse to turn away camei
a whisper from my good angel : " Do e'
good to those who despitefully use you" '
And, seeing the little fellow still looked I
longingly at the cakes, I took him in,
gave him some- buns and a glass of milk, I
and a bag of cookies to take home; but
he could not go alone probably, if, a~ <
he said, he had run away; so I ask~ed s
him where he lived, and if he knew the s
wa~y hne.
" We lives now in No. 10 Pine street, t
but I danno where 'tis."-1
I was not at all sure of the locality i
myself, so I'ailing ain omnibus I re
quested to be carried to my destination;
and then the awkwardness of meeting
his father flashed across me, till I recol
looted he had said "Papa's gone away."1
" Where has your papa gone?"
" He's gone to the dogs."
The answer was certainly startling,
and notwithstanding, or perhaps in con
sequence of my nervousne~s, I smiled,
and felt in my throat a mingled incli
nation to laugh and cry. Then I said
seriously.:
" What do yon mean ? Who told you
that ?"
" Oh, I heard a man tell the doctor so
when he came to see Eloise, and I fonnd
it in the big map-book mamma let me
have to 'muse me."
" Founa what ?"
"Isle of Dogs ; that's where he's gone.
I guess he ain t coming back." A little
pause, then in a low, frightened tone,
" he's awful cross ; he made mamma cry,
he did."
I felt guilty of learning famil' secrets,
so I turned away from that subjeet and
said :
" Is your mother very ill ?"
" Oh, she's 4@sadful sick! S he coughs
and congvhs, and spite up lots of red
spite ; it's awul!i"
Poor Eloise the bril~iant beauty, was
indeed dying f I looked down sit the lit
tle boy in his shabby clothes, and I re
nembered the elegance of his mother's
ttire when we were girls together ; I re
nembered, oh, so wel I But I was awak
med from my painful revery by my lt
le campamiou' exolaiming:
" Here we are I"
I paid the driver, and we got out and
nounted three flights of stairs in a shab
)y lodging-house. He opened a door,
md there, lying on a stretcher, wth a
lard mattress, was the wreck of the
)rilliant beauty I had not seen for ten
rears, and who, but for the child, I
ihould never have recognized. Not so
with her, however; as the door opened
mnd her child entered she held out her
iand, saying in a low, breathless voice:
"Eddy dear, where have you been?"
rhen she raised her eyes, and, seeing me
tanding in the , doorway, she turned
Leathly pale, and, throwing u her
iands, said, wildly : " Oh, , she
ias come, she has come ! Alice, Alice,
orgive me !I am dying now "
Foraive her ? Yes, with the grim
hadow of death hanging over her I
ould not do otherwise. I went to the
oedside and took her hand.
"I am glad to have found you,
Uloise ; all is forgiven."
I could say no more ; the poor, thin
ace. feverish eyes and shrunken form
made my heart ache. She raised her
elf up, and, clutching my hand, said:
" Listen, Alice, I am dying. I must
peak now; my punishment is from
leaven; he has left me. You are re
enged, and my little gil has one, and
ie "-pointing to the boy-" the image
s his father, will soon be alone, I
lone ! My father and mother and sisttr
xe all dead, and his father-I de not
.now if he is living or dead, but ho
hould not have my innocent boy to
uin. Oh, Alice, you look iho nsamile as
ver; will you take care of my boy ? "
For aninstantI reooiled; I take Edwin
Luderson's child to my house to live
rith my children? It seemed impos
ible; but those large, wistful eyes were
Lxed on me; I must' answer.
"I will find a home for him, Eloise."
"You will not take him yourself,
dlice? " And she raised herself up, and
xcitement lent strength to her voice.
'Alice, I heard of your marriage to a
ood man. Have you children?'
" I have a little girl 3 years old and a
aby."
" Then for God's sake take my boy
nd make him good; let him be your
hild, and, when he gets old enough to
nderstand, give him that desk," point
ig to one on a table at her side. " I
ave written out my history as a warn

alue are there ; T haye nothing left of

ad squandered the money. I believe
te went to Europe and is living some
vhere in Italy with another of his dupes ;
ay boy is portionless. Will you, oh,

dim?"
" I will."
I could say no more and the excite

There was a quiet funeral, and Eloise

And this is the story of our two lives.
ears before, Eloise Grayson and I,
dice Browne, were together at Madame
.'s boarding-school for young ladies.
ier father was called wealthy, and she
nd a sister several years her senior
r'ere all Viat were left of a large family.
Bloise was very beautiful, and, when at
chool she had admirers who would meet
is and bow in our daily walks.
After we left school I made her a visit
fa few days and invited her to come
nd see mne in our quiet country home
whaen she liked. She had, however, too
:ay a life and too many admiirers to care
o accept my inrvitation then. Mean
rhile I settled down at home and helped
cry mother sew and learned to keep
Louse, and also learned something else
-to love with all my heart a handsome,
lashing young man who had come to
>ur quiet village to stay for a few days,
thad lengthened out those days into
veeks. Edwin Anderson almost lived
at my father's house, and, at last, 'with
ny father's full consent, we were en
;aged.
Of course in the fullness of my joy I
rrote to all my friends, and Eloise
mong thre others. Not long after, she
vrote to say she was coming to make me
hat long-promised visit. Well, she
lame, and at her very first meeting with
B~dwin sihe completely monopolized his
ittention ; she came to my room that
night and declared herself charmed with
a-" a perfe :t Adonis." She envied
mre, called me a sly pass for catching
moch a handsome man in that out-of tho
way p lace ; then kissed me good-night
and left me with a strange chill at my
beart. 1 do not know how it was, but
she was always with us ; we never
seemed to be alone, and she engrossed
him completely; sometimes she would
laugh and say so carelessly:
" Oh Ally, you must not mind ; but
your E~wmn s voice just chords splendid
Jv with mine ; you will lend him to me,
won't you? "
5o they sang together and I listened.
I, too, could sing, but my voice was
nothing to hers. She was veyfond of
riding, and we had but one ha' horse
and she had forgotten to bring ber
habit ; so nearly every mornng she
would borrow mine and the two woaM
go off for a ride andot return untildhb
nor-time.
My father began to look coldly at her,
and my mother often .sighed as she saw
them together. I was too proud to show
what I felt, but I looked my door at
night now; I could not bear to hear
Eloise rhapsodize about my lover, whom
I never saw now except in her society.
She stopped for six weeks-six weary
weeks to me. Then one day after a
longer ride than usual with win, she
announced that she must go home at
once. Her talk and manner were fligh
all day, and until late at night we he
her moving about her room packing her
trunk---such elegant clothes as she had,
putting my quiet musline and cambries
Im the shade, Next morning she bade
us good-by and went away, my father
remarking aftepr she had gone:
" Well, I don't want to be inhospitable,
but 1 hope that girl won't come here
again very soon.
All day I waited and watched for
Edwin. Now, I thought, I will have
him to myself once more; but he did not
come. The next day passed, and still
he did riot come. On the third day of
weary waiting I took up the newspaper
after my father had got through with it
and looked carelessly and absently at
the advertisements,Nhe local items, and
then my eye wandered -to the marriage
list. There I saw the marriage of Alex
ander Anderson to Eloise Grayson. I did
not faint nor scream. I only felt numb
for a while, then I quietly handed the
paper to my mother, pointng to that
place, and as quietly left the room and
went up-stairs to my, own chamber,
where I sat by the window, looking out
on the moonlit garden, and tried to un
deristand. My mother soon follbwed
me. and then passed the most miserable
hours of my exist(nce ; my first love and
faith and joy all shattered. Of course I
felt as if I must die; but I was proud ; I
would not be pitied by the neighbors;
and so I threw off the awful pain when
I was with others. Youth is very buoy
ant; I had good health, a good home
and good parents ; and soon two bright,
teasing cousins were invited to make us
a visit; so in time I crushed this love,
which was sin now, from my young
heart.
Five years afterward I met and learned
to Jove with a quieter, deeper affection,
born of respect, my good husband, Hen
ry Hlalford, an elderly lawyer, who came
to see my father about a lawsuit, and
having come once came again and again,
until at last lie came to carry me to a
bautiful house in the city as its mistress
and his honored wife. We have two
dear little children, and I am very hap
py, and very proud of ray " elderly"
husband.
We call our new son Alexander Hal
ford, dropping the old name forever;
and I pray that he may be as good and
honorable a man as his adopted father
1s.
Longilngs.
Thou gh we seem grieved at the short
ness of life in general, we are wishing
every period of it at an end. The minor
longs to be of age, then to be a man of
business, then to make up an estate, then
to retire. Thus, although the whole life
is allowed by every one to be short, the
several divisions of it appear long and
tedious. We are for iengthening our
span in general, but would fain contract
the parts cf which it is composed. The
usurer would be very well satisfied to
have all the time annmhilated that lies be
tween the present moment and the next
quarter day. The politician would be
con tented to lose three years of his life,
could he place things in the posture,
which he fancies they will stand in, after
such- a revolution of time. The lover
would be glad to strike out of his exis
tence atll the moments that are to pass
before the next meeting.
Thus as fast as our time runs we
should bie very glad in most parts oI our
lives, that it ran much faster than it
does. Several hours of the day hang
upon our handls; nay, we wish away
whole years; and travel through time as
though a country filled with many wild
aind empty wastes, which we would fain
hurry over, that we may arrive at these
severail little settlements or imaginary
points of rest.
An Occasion for Boycotting.
In reply to a correspondent who in
dignantly asks if nothing can be done to
stop the vandals who are transforming
the face of the country into one vast ad
vertisin)g. medium, the 8pringfield Re
pubicoan observes that one obstacle in
the way of preventing such outrages is
the melancholy fact that farmers and
landed proprietors " don't care, or if
they do, it is only $1 or 62 worth. 'i'he
disapproval of the advetiin fiend is
chiefly felt by persons who don't own
any fences or sheds or rocks-who.have
nothingj but a sensitive taste and a pow
erless indignation. These unfortunate
people can't do anything except swear
never to b~uy a p article of the soaps or
dentifrices or elixirs or supeders or
other contrivances so insolentl adver
tised, and never to deal with teadver
tisers. We should like to see a league
tormed, bound by that solemn obhgca
t on-it is a perfectly proper occasfon
for boycotting." __
