MARK TWAIN'S PANORAMA STORY.
There was a fellow traveling around in that
country, said Mr. Nickerson, with a moral religious
show?a sort of scriptural panorama?
and he hired a wooden-headed old slab to
play the piano for him. After the first night's
performance, the showman says:
"My friend, you seem to know pretty much
all the tunes there are, and you worry along
I first rate. But then, don't you notice that
sometimes last night the piece you happened
to be playing was a little rough on the proprieties,
so to speak?didn't seem to jibe with
the general gait of the picture that was passing
at the time, as it were?was a little foreign
to the subject, you know?as if you didn't
either trump or follow suit,you understand ?"
"Well, no," the fellow said; "he hadn't noticed,
but it might be; he had played along
just as it came handy."
* So they put it up that the simple old dummy
was to keep his eye on the panorama after
that, and as soon as a stunning picture
was reeled out, he was to fit it to a dot with a
piece of music that would help the audience |
to get the idea of the subject, and warm them
up like a camp-meeting revivah That sort
of thing would corral their sympathies, the
showman said.
There was a big audience that night?raost
ly middle-aged and old people who belonged
to the churcn, and took a strong interest in
Bible matters, and the balance were pretty

come out strong on panoramas, you know, because
it gives them a chance to taste one another's
mug in the dark.
Well, the showman began to swell hin^self,
up for his lecture, aud the old-mud dobberj
tackled the piano ant run his fingers up and
down once or twice to see that she was all
right, and the felloWs behind the curtain commenced
to grind out the panorama. The
showman balanced his weight on his right
foot, and propped his hands over his lips, and
flung his eyes over his shoulder at the scenery,
and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the painting now
before you illustrates the beautiful and touching
parable of the Prodigal Son. Observe
the nappy expression just breaking over the
features of the poor, suffering youth?so, worn
and weary with his long march ; note also the
ecstasy beaming from the uplifted countenance
of the aged father, and the joy that
sparkles in the eyes of the excited group of
youths and maidens, and seems ready to buret
in the welcoming chorus from their lips. The
lesson, my friends is as solemn and instructive
as the story is tender and beautiful."
The mud-dobber was all ready, and when
the second speech was finished, struck up:
"Oh, we'll all get blind drnnk,
When Johnny comes inarching home!"
Some of the people giggled, and couldn't
say a word. He looked at the pianist sharp,
but he was all lovely and serene?he didn't
know there was anything out of gear.
The panorama moved on, and the showman
drummed up his grit and started in fresh :
"Ladies and gentlemen, the fine picture
now unfolding itself to your gaze exhibits one
of the most notable events in Bible history?
our Saviour and his disciples upon the Sea of
Galilee. How grand, how awe-inspiring are
the reflections which the subject invokes!
What sublimity of faith is revealed to us in
this lesson from the sacred writings? The
Saviour rebukes the angry waves, and walks
securely upon the bosom of the deep!"
All around the house they were whispering:
"Oh, how lovely, how beautiful!" and the or
chestra let tumseit out again:
"Ob, life on the ocean wave,
And a home on the rolling deep !"
There was a good deal of honest snickering
turned on this time, and considerable groaning,
and one or two old deacons got up and
went out The showman grated his teeth and
cursed the piano man to himself, but the fellow
sat there like a knot on a log, and seemed
to think he was doing first rate. .
After things got quiet, the showman thougm
he would make one more stagger at it anyhow,
though his confidence was beginning to
get mighty shaky. The supes started the
panorama to grinding along again, and he
says:
"Ladies and gentlemen, this exquisite painting
illustrates uie raising of Lazarus from the
dead by our Saviour. The subject has been
handled with rare ability by the artist, and.
such touching sweetness and tenderness of expression
has he thrown into it, that I have
known peculiarly sensitive persons to be even
affected to tears by looking at it: Observe
the half confused, half inquiring look upon
the countenance of the awakened Lazarus.
Observe, also, the attitude and expression of
the Saviour, who takes him gently by the
sleeve of his shroud with one hand, while he
points with the other toward tfrt distant
city."
Before anybody could get off an opinion in
the case, the innocent old ass at the piano
, struck up:
"Come, rise up, William Ri-i-i-ley,
And go along with me!" |
It was rough on the audience, you bet All
the solemn old flats got up in a huff to go,
and everybody else laughed till the windows
rattled.
The showman went down and grabbed the
orchestra and shook him up, and says:
"That lets you out, you know, you chowder-headed
old clam! Go to the door-keeper
and get your money, and cut your stick?
vamose the ranche! Ladies and gentlemen,
circumstances over which I have no control,
compel me prematurely to dismiss."
tap" A good anecdote is told of the famous
French surgeon Nelaton. Going through one
of the streets of Paris one day, he came upon
a crowd standing in front of a drug store.
There a man lay stretched out who had been
terribly wounded by a sharp buggy shaft.
His belly had been ripped, and a large part"
of his intestines protruaea. xim me cuuxu ue
saved only by a very difficult and dangerous
operation, but Nelaton was equal to the occasion,
and soon his patient, quite a wealthy
man, was sent home out of danger. For
three weeks Nelaton heard nothing more of
him, but then he made his appearqnce and
asked his preserver how much he owed him.
"Hundred and fifty francs," replied the surgeon.
"That is much," said the man, "but
give me a specified bill; here is^your money."
Nealton sat down and wrote as follows: "For
re-adjusting a yard and a half of the intestinal
canal, at a hundred francs per yard, onehundred
and fifty francs."
Some years ago, there lived in an Eastern
town, an old man who had propensity for
"hooking" small and portable articles that
came in his way. As he was poor and past
labor, and well known about the town, no further
notice was taken of his speculations than
to keep a sharp look-out when he was around.
A deafer had a quantity of dry fish landed on
the wharf at an iiour too late to get mem m w
his store, and, as he was about covering them
I with an old sail-cloth, he espied old B., apparently
reconnoitering. Selecting a couple
of the fish, he said: '!Here B., I must leave
these fish out here to-night, and I will give
you these two if you promise me that you will
not steal any." "That, is a fair offer, Mr. A.,
but?well?I don't know," with a glance at
the offered fish and then at the pile, "I think
I can do belter
A Venerable Old Age?The following,
from one who was thar, is vouched for by
him?that is, that the old lady made the reply
given here, not that she was quite as old
as she claimed: When the Fifteenth Pennsylvania
Cavalry entered the town of Dawson,
Georgia, in the spring of I860, among those
who welcomed them was a negro woman
whose appearance denoted extreme old age.
Impelled by curiosity, one of the "boys" rode
up ta her and asked, "How old are you,
auntie ?" " Well, chile," she replied, "I don't

THE OAT CROP.
Editors Southern Cultivator:?As a subscriber
for several years to your valuable journal,
I have derived both pleasure and profit in
closely scanning its instructive pages. But,
as this is a one-sided game, and a violation of .
the law of healthy action, I propose throwing
out a few hints upon the subject of oat culture, :
which may be of some service to others.
Four years ago, I commenced planting oats !
in my cotton field at its last plowing, covering
very shallow with a broad, fik sweep, and ,
running two forrowB in the row. My nrstex- ,
periment was made on. a fourteen acre field,
well nigh exhausted, as evinced from the fact
that I only picked 35 cwt of seed cotton from '
the entire area, or 250 pounds per acre. From 1
the oats, sown as indicated, about the middle ;
of August, I reaped about twenty bushels per .
acre. To save the trouble of detail, I will ,
nimnlv state that the expense of culture be- ,
7? ? ?j ?
ing deducted from the gross proceeds of the
respective crops, one acre of oats was worth :
a little over three of cotton. No fertilizer of 1
any kind was used.
I have sown in July, August, September,
October and March, in the same field, on land ;
of the same quality, for the purpose of determining
the period most propitious to plant
this valuable oereal.
This experiment shows that oats, planted .
from the 25th of July to the 18th of August, ]
make much the heaviest yields. These dates,
then, I would suggest for this latitude, as the
oat limits. My profits from this source are
heavier than from any other crop. I will
now, somewhat in detail, give the result of
my operations in this department for '69 and >
70. v.
In August of last year I planted twentyfive
acres of very thin land in oats, putting .
in a bushel and a peck to the acre. The
ground, at the time, was dry. and the weather '
very hot and so continued for perhaps, two j
months, rendering it almost painfully certain 1
that my efforts at this time, to raise an oat i
crop in this way, would prove abortive. The i
rains, however, at last set in, and soon a vig- j
orous stand covered the ground and remained .
uninjured during the cola of winter. About 1
the first of January, when they were some 1
five or six inches high, I turned my mules J
and cows in upon them, and kept them there, i
more or less, when the ground was not too ]
wet, until the 1st of March. At that time, ,
we knocked down the cotton stalks, which
had been still standing, cleared the field of in!
trudere and left the growing crop to work out
its own destinv. The oats grew up rapidly,
matured well, and were reaped by the tenth ;
of June. Storm and rain, however, I may
observe, laid them and tangled them to such ,
an extent, a3 to make it impossible to save
them fully. From the 25 acres we have obtained
withal 513 bushels of shelled oats,
making an average of 204 bushels per acre, i
The following will show the net profits per
acre.
20} bnshels oats at)l per bushel $20 50
300 lbs straw pen acre at $1 per cwt 3 00
100 lbs chaff. 1 00
Gross proceeds in money per acre $24 '50
Expenses of plowing, nothing.
li bushels seed per acre $1 25
Knocking down cotton stalks 0 25
Cutting, and tying and shocking 1 00
Hauling to barn 0 25
One-tenth of 20} bushels for thrashing 2 05
Labor of sowing 0 10
$4 90
Net proceeds from one acre $19 50.
In estimating the profits, we must not overlook
the amount of forage saved by pasturing
stock during the winter months on the young
oats?the saving of the land from washing by
the matted roots of growing crop, and the accumulation
of the vegetable mold from stubble,
weeds and grass, which being turned under,
before frost, enriches poor land twentyfive
per cent, keeps the ground loose on top
and renders subsoiling advantageous. But
my article is growing too long. I will say,
however, that every farmer should sow oats
j extensively. Then his cotton profits will be
his own, not go to corn producers tat' the
West I raised 50 bushels of oats per acre
last year, and now am satisfied that, with
proper attention to the fertility of the soil, I
can raise 100. Since March to date, my
mules have fed on oats alone. They work
hard, sweat almost none and are fat and sleek.

greIn corn fodder for cows.
Occasionally the farming community is astonished
with a statement upon high authority,
says the Country Gentleman, which seems
to contravene all the experience of the community.
Of this kind is the opinion persistently
repeated in public addresses, that corn
fodder is the meanest thing that can be offered
to milch cows, uttered by a gentleman hold
? fVirk orvvinulfiii?o1 ti7Arl/1
ILIg a UlgU JJUCitlV/u Ul biio ogitvuxvuim nvxxui
Now, if this gentleman should live a hundred
years, and make ,two speeches every day, as
he probably might, he would not do good
enough to counterbalance the evil which his
opinion about corn fodder would do, if it was
generally accepted as correct Fortunately,
however, only about one person in a thousand
agrees with it?not so large a proportion as
we have in the community of insane or idiots.
In Concord we furnish about two thousand
gallons of milk a day for Boston, of quality
equal to the best; and our farmers, almost
without exception, rely upon green corn for
their cows in August and September. My
next neighbor says he could not keep half his
number without it I kept eight <k>ws1n the
yard nearly a month last year, in August and
September, and fed them almost wholly on
green corn fodder, giving them a little dry
hay and no grain, and they gave more milk
than s.nen at pasture, and made excellent butter.
We reckon sweet corn best, but usually
sow the Southern corn, because the seed of
the sweet corn is too expensive. I have nearly
two acres sown this year, part of winch I
hope to dry and save for winter use. Ifjbere
is anything settled in my neighborhood, St is
that corn fodder is valuable for milch cows.
My own experience of twenty years corresponds
with the general opinion. "Error of
opinion," says Jefferson, "may safely be ^derated
while reason is left free to combat?it
and the wise men of the East, who denounce
^cotfn fodder and swamp mud as useless, create
,but a small ripple onvthe great ocean of pub- j
lie opinion. * '
When to Prune Apple Trees.?A correspondent
of the Times, Watertown, N. Y.,
gives his experience in pruning apple trees as
follows: t.
"It has long beeg jt practice among farmers
to commence* pruning apple trees in
February?mainly, I suppose, because there
is leisure time. There are reasons why this

cient action in the tree to harden the surface
where a limb has been taken off, before the
sap ascends in the spring. When this action
does take place, the sap flows out and spreads
over the surrounding bark, and by some
chemical action which takes place, it is
changed to a poisonous fluid, which greatly
injures the tree. T^m your fruit trees in
August, and I will guarantee you will have
no Black-hearted trees."
?
A New Milker.?A milker has been invented
and tested which bids fair to supersede
hand milking. The theory on which it is constructed
is that the milk collects in an enlargement
of the teat a short distance above the
orifice. The cow holds her milk by contracting
the lower part of the teat, so that if a
tube is inserted reaching the reservior, the
cow loses the power of holding her milk,
which accordingly flows easily through the
tube, and is discharged into the pail. The
tube must be small and smooth, (ivory is the
material employed in the model,) and the milk
enters through a small opening in the side
near the end. One of these tubes in each teat,
and the cow at once runs dry. The report of
the trial stated that the cow manifested no
uneasiness, but stood, without lifting a foot
until her milk was gone.

CHOICE IN A PROFESSION.
Every young man, before commencing the
business of life, should carefully and prayerfully
choose an avocation. Usefulness during
life depends very much upon this.?
Many young men commence life evidently before
they are ready for the task. They enter
upon the duties of some avocation which they
think will lead them to honor and fame and
wealth; but which, to their utter dismay and
ruin, terminates with the fame and wealth of
the vagabond. Most young men commence
life with erroneous views and mistaken ideas
respecting men and things. Their ideas are
very like the incoherent dreams of a sick man.
Their secular and spiritual affairs are so inti
* t .1 . ?i v f ii_ . 1
mately blended tnat tne rum 01 ine secwur
often shipwrecks the spiritual. It is difficult
for a young man to prosecute his earthly calling
or avocation for years, without a reasonable
amount of success, and not jeopardize
his immortal soul. For a few years a young
man may play the prodigal and not feel the
pressure; but the cares of life will come upon
him like an armed man, and the shock will
be too much for him to bear.
God, in his providence, so arranges things
that it is not absolutely necessary that we always
row against the current Such is human
nature that no man can baar to; be continually
struggling ag&iust the stream. No man
is in the way of his duty when be cannot by
the sweat of his face procure bread for himself
and household. He has chosen an occupation,
the duties of which he is incapable of
discharging, or he has commenced discharging
its duties before he learned their nature. In
both cases failure in his secular plans is the
Inevitable result, and spiritually, the man is
in nine cases out of ten, ruined. His disposition
is soured, and in bitter disappointment he
reviles tbe world for mistreating him. Sometimes
the want of success is attended with the
most desperate results. Many men resort to
the intoxicating cup to drown their sorrow
and dispel the agony which attends thwarted
plans and frustrated schemes. The decent
boy makes a very indecent man ; the boy of
nromise turns out to be a street drunkard.
All these things are not to be traced back to
the ill choice of an occupation'; but a bad
choice of a profession has very much to do
with it. There are three things that can
scarcely fail to ruin the most promising young
man. These are bad companions, a wife
without the fear of God, and an occupation
for which he is not naturally capacitated.
If it be asked what occupation is the best,
the answer must be general. The trade or
profession that would suit one man would
not suit another. Any trade or occupation
is honorable, provided the pursuit of it doea
the community in which we dwell no injury,
and does not conflict with the laws of God.
But whilst this is true, there are some occupations
that are attended with more and
greater, temptations than others. There are
some occupations which are so full of enticements
to sin that it would be impossible for
men of some temperaments to engage in them
without jeopardizing thp best interests of their
souls for time and eternity. To men differently
constituted, these vocations would not
be perilous. Some men are so sure footed
that they can walk over the most difficult
places and never stumble; but other men are
liable stumble over and every impediment.
The former may safely go where ftie
latter cannot go at all.
Most young men make a grave error in the
outset. They are impatient to get ?jph and
arrive at that point in human existence "where
there is all pleasures and no cares. This is a
grave blunder. The highest authority, on
earth says "He that hasteth to be rich hath
an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty

Sllttll t'UliiC UjJUU iliUii \jruo\s* twvivu u<uvavwvs
the fact that "He that maketh haste to be
rich shall not be innocent." It is possible
for an individual to amass a fortune in a fevs
years; but it is at the peril of his immortal
soul. To be useful is more to be desired thai
to be rich. A useful man cannot be miserable
; a rich man can scarcely avoid being
wretched in this world, and the blessed Sa
viour teaches us that it is easier for a came]
to go through the eye of a needle than for s
rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven
Human greatness does not consist in riches
A man may fill his coffers with gold, and at
the same time impoverish his soul. There if
another thing that every young man in select
ing a calling for life should keep constantly
in view. It is" this: Riches and honor ar<
not inseprrably connected; but every honest
man will receive the approbation of all gooc

The Voice of Conscience.?Have yoi
ever heard of the great clock of St. Paul's ii
London ? At midday, in the roar of business
when carriages, and carts, and wagons, anc
omnibuses, go rolling through the streets, hov
many never hear the great clock strike unlea
they live very near it! But when the worl
of the day is over, and the roar of businea
has passed away?when men are gone to sleep
and silence reigns in London?then at twelve
at one, at two, at three, at four, the sound o
that clock may be beard for miles around
Twelve I one! two! three! four! How thai
clock is heard by many a sleepless man!
That clock is just like the conscience o:
the impenitent man. While he has healtl
and strength, and goes on in the whirl of bus
iness, he will not hear his conscience. He
drowns and silences its voice by plunging intc
the world. He will not allow the inner mac
to speak to him.
But the day will come when conscience
will be heard, whether he likes it or not. The
day will come when its voice will sound ir
his ears, and pierce him like a sword. The
time will come when we must retire from the
World, and lie down on the sick-bed, and look
death in the face. And then the clock of
conscience, thas solemn clock, will sound in
his heart, and, if he has not repented, will
bring wretchedness and misery to his soul.
Oh, no, write it down in the tablets of your
heart?without repentance, no peace. "There
is no peace, saith my God, to thfrwwked."
Reader, have you repented? If not, will
you repent to-day ? "To-day, if ye will hear
His voice, harden not your hearts 1"
THE POWEB OF THE CBO&S.
A missionary who had penetrated as far as
Thibet, in order to preach the gospel in that
distant land, relates that in one of the principal
towns of that vast heathen kingdom, he
made the acquaintance of a young physician,
- celebrated throughout the country for the purity
of his morals, for his kindness toward the
poor, and for his attention to all the ordinances
of his religion.
This man was ignorant of the name and
even the existence of Christianity. The missionary
instructed him, gradually destroying
his prejudices, and, by degrees, preparing his
soul to receive Divine light. One day the
doctor came to visit the missionary in the
humble lodging which he occupied at Lassa,
and on the walls of which he had hung a
large picture which he had brought from
France, representing Jesus crucified. .It was
the only ornament of his humble dwelling.
During the conversation, the missionary
perceived that this picture;excited the curiosity
of the Thibetian doctoir, and.he took the
opportunity of explaining to him more fullv
than he had done before the adorable mysteries
of the Divine Incarnation and Redemption.
He told him how
ance pf his infinite

form; how He had become incarrjvte and
humbled Himself even to us, withoutj at the
same time, losing anything of His perfect holiness
; how Jesus not only thus became our
' King, our Example, and our Brother; but
also, in His great love, even took jupon Him
the punishment of .our sins and became our
Redeemer. Thus he explained to him the
1 picture of the blood-stained Cross, upbn which
i the expiatory sacrifice of the Divine Saviour
was offered on Calvary.
, When he had finished, he perceived how
large tears rolled down from the eyes of his
hearer, who looked fixedly at the sacred picture,
without, as it seemed, being able to take
his eves off it. Resnectinir this religious emo

ries he had just been endeavoring to explain,

His grace, this good and simple soul, who
seemed naturally so well adapted to- know,
1 serve, and love Him.
The silent contemplation of the yodng doc*
tor lasted for more than half an hour, and
the sentiments which agitated his soul were
. so profound, that he could scarcely utter a
few words before taking leave of the good

crucified, had penetrated- his soul, and he
earned away with him the light of life, which
, soon led to his receiving the sacrament of holy

HOW SAINTS MAY HELP THE DEyiL.
There was a young minister once preaching
very earnestly in a certain chapel, and he had
to walk some four or five miles to his home,
along a country road, after service. A young
man, who had been deeply impressed under
th^ermon, requested the privilege of walking^with
the minister, with anjfirnest hope
' his feelings to hira sorS^o^l
of guidance or comfort. Instead of that the
young minister, all the way along, told the
most singular tales to those who were with
him, causing loud roars of laughter. He
stopped at a certain house, and this young
man with him, and the whole evening was
spent in frivolity and foolish' talking. Some
years after, when the minister had grown old,
he was sent to the bed-side of a dying man.
He hastened thither with a heart desirous to
do good. He was requested to sit down at
the bed-side, and the dying man, looking at
* * i.l. ?1? ! J
' him ana regarding mm most cioseiy, sam w
' him : "Do you remember ^preaching in sueh
1 and such a village, and on such occasion ?"
i "I do," said the minister. "I was one of your
. hearers," said the man, "and was deeply im,
pressed by the-sermon." "Thank God for
1 that 1" said the minister. "Stop!" said the
man, "don't thank God until you have heard
I the whole story; you will have reason to alter
i your tone before I have done," The minister
. changed countenance, but he little guessed
what would be the full extent of that man's
t testimony. Said he: "Sir, do you remember
after you had finished that earnest sermon,
5 that I, with some others, walked home with
* you ? I was sincerely desirous of being led
r m the right path that night, but I heard you
5 speak in such a strain of levity, and with sc
t much coarseness, too, that I went outside the
[ house, while you were sitting down to your
} evening meal; I stamped my foot upon the
ground; I said that you were a liar; that
5 Christianity was a falsehood; that if you
could pretend to be so'earnest in the-pulpit,
, and then come down and talk like that, the
. whole thing must be a sham; and I have been
, an.infidel," said he, "a confirmed infidel, from
I that day to this. But I am not an infidel at
this moment; I know better. I am dying
' and about to be damned, and at the bar oi

j Fifteen Great Mistakes?It is a greal
i mistake to set up our own standard of righi
3 and wrong, and judge people accordingly. Ii
e is a great mistake to measure the enjoyment*
of others by our own; to expect uniformity o:
^ opinion in this world; to look for judgment anc
" experience in youth to endeavor to mould all
i dispositions alike; not to yield in immaterial
trifles to look for perfection in our own ac
tions; to worry ourselves and others wit!
l what cannot be remedied; not to alleviate all
l that needs alleviation as far as lies in oui
, power; not to make allowances for the iofirmi
1 ties of others; to consider everything impossi
r ble which We cannot perform; to believe onlj
9 what our finite minds can grasp; to expect tc
i be able to understand everything. The gffeat
9 est of all mistakes is, to live only for time
, when any moment may launch us into eter,
nity.

! The Death of Children.?Till we see
t our children in suffering, we never fully un
derstand the divine comparison, so fhll of cor

mentary to us, as if written on ou" hearts with

ranees. And when little childrefc~we taken
away from us, how precious are the Saviour's
5 words, "Of such is the kingdom of heaven."

i smile of pitying love: "Suffer your little ones
i to come unto me and forbid them not."?

THE GHOST OF THE GUARD.
In 1863, Hilton Head Island, in South Carolina,
was the headquarters of a Federal corps.
It was garrisoned by ten thousand choice
troops from seven different States?Port Royal
harbor was black with masts, and a hundred
ships carried the American flag. Hilton
Head proper was strongly fortified. It contained
vast stores of provisions and untold
quantities of ammunition and implements of
war. The Confederates looked on with eager
eyes, naturally desiring its possession, and
therefore sent swarms of spies and pretended
deserters to observe its strength and take notes
of its weak points. The land bordering on
the sea was defended by the iron clads and
some line-of-battle ships, and that portion bordering
on Broad River was held by a single
picket line of infantry and cavalry.
One dark and stormy night a picket on a
solitary post was suddenly approached by
what he thought was a human form. The
intruder was apparently a powerful and well
built man, ana wore a blue overcoat He
evidently did not observe the picket at first,
but kept advancing until the loud command
to "Halt 1" was given three times in succession,
and the sharp report of a rifle broke the
midnight silence. The flash of the gun enabled
the picket to see the form in the blue
/Mrornnof fiall ViaottiItt fn fKo rri*nnn/1 Qa fliAlirrK

pierced in a vital part The sentinel, suppos-'
mg that a force of the enemy was in his immediate
presence, did not leave his post to observe
the effects of his shot, but like a good
soldier, stood his ground" until the alarm
brovght speedy: reinforcements. Having in'tffeswd
to his profflersoldidre the spot where
his dead man had fallen, they lost no time in
examining the bushes; but, strange to relate,
nothing could be found. After a thorough
search, and upon talking the matter all over,
they concluded that the sentinel had mistaken
a tree for a man, and were rather disposed to
ridicule his story; but he stoutly persisted
that he knew his business, and was not fool
enough not to know the difference between a
man and a tree. To be on the safe side, the
picket was doubled for the remainder of the
night, but all remained quiet until morning.
At daylight a fresh survey of the suspicious
spot was made, and the soldiery were
Btartled to find the foot-prints of a man 1 They
suddenly believed the picket's story, but were
at a loss to know what had become of the intruder.
The next night a different detachment
was on duty, and the same scenes were
enacted over again, with the exception that
the form appeared at a different spot.
Each nignt for a whole week the picket
line was kept in constant commotion by the
strange visitor, and fresh detachments were
sent out, from time to time, until there was
almost a continuous line of battle. Bodies of
troops and scouts scoured the woods by day,
and volunteers werrfin the swamps by night
- ? ? il - A. -j i_x Ui.L xt . _V
in tne meantime tne iooiprinis wmcu tae visitor
invariably left behind were measured, and
found in every case to be identical in shape
and si?e. A company of the One Hundred
and Fifteenth New York, hearing of the affair
and the wonder and excitement it produced,
requested to be sent to the identical
place for one night The men felt sure that
they could clear up the mystery.
The New Yorkers, after being accepted, repaired
to the lines; and, in placing their videttes,
the officers took the precaution to always
have at least two men on each post, and
in the more remote and exposed places three
or four. All had an intense desire to be successful,
and they moved about as quietly as
possible. Shortly after midnight, Andrew
Smith heard a stick crack in some dense bushes
a fe^ yards distant. He instantly dropped
down into the tall grass, and peered out into
the thick darkness. All was as still as death
for a moment, when another stick cracked and
there was a rustling in the leaves. He
clutched his rifle firmly, put his finger on the
trigger, and pointed it in the threatened direc-^~2*ady
to blaze away at the first sight of
JHHKect. Nothing appearing, Smifh cop'eluPFthat
after all it must have beeil an alligator
or some other denizen of the forest
that hb heard. He was speedily undeceived,
however, for the terrible form in blue stood
i before him ere he could think. At first Smith
was startled and almost thunderstruck; but,
i being naturally a brave man, he quickly rei
covered his self-possession and fired his gun,
aiming for the breast of the form in front
"The object fell, with a deep groan, to the
i ground; there was a tumbling in the bushes
; for a moment, and all was still. A dozen sol,
diers bounded to the spot, but the man in blue
i was gone I
After that night no more was ever heard or
seen of the man in blue on the picket line.
The Little Tragedy Queen.?A Pari
sian Romance of the Stage.?Some years
i ago a pale, thin, fragile, but bright-eyed and
[ intelligent looking girl of perhaps ten or
twelve years of age, used to appear in Paris,
in the most crowded part of the walk Chaqaps
1 Elysees, an hour or so before sunset. She was
i attended by an old woman who carried a vio
lin, a tin cup and a carpet. While the girl
, stood apart for a moment, with something of
i a rapt look, the old woman spread the carpet,
I put down the cup at one corner, and scraped
i a preliminary air upon the violin, which was
i often most appropriate to the drama which
> was to follow. The prelude having termina
ted, the girl steppea on the carpet, with the
I air of a little tragedy queen, and recited long
; tirades from Racine and Corneille. She rei
cited them superbly; and, despite her air of
, suffering and her exceedingly poor attire, she
i product such an effect on the crowd, that
t while she rested they filled again and again
^ the cup carried around by the old woman with
; sous and half franc pieces, to encourage her to
; new efforts. The collection was' always a
large one, and when the delicate-looking child
, retired?all palpitating, and with a flush upon
t her cheek, of which it was difficult to say
i whether it were the flush of her own triumph
i or that of death destined to triumph over her,
the acclamations and cordial compliments of
. her hearers greeted her as she retired. The
i winter passed, the summer came; but not the
, young girl who had claimed the crowds by
i ner tragic music. During that year, howev
er, a marvelous girl appeared on the stage of
1 the Gymnase Dramatique, and as suddenly
I departed, like a brilliant meteor; and speculatfoft
ian high -as fce whetheT this fascinating
t .girl was the pale enchantress of the public
walk. Another year had nearly passed, when
one night the lady appeared on the stage of
t the Theatre Francais, and awoke French
t tragedy out of the sleep into which it had faille
?" Tl.n nnma nf fVio rniitiff orirl WHS An
If Oil* iuc juauiu vi vitv juuu^ J-J
j nounced as Rachel; and all Paris not only acf
Knowledged her as the sovereign of the tragic
I throne, but declared that she was the poor
[ girl who once stood on the carpet ifi the
I Champs Elysees and recited Racine four sous
- and half francs. The young lady maintained
t a discreet silence, and various were the opinl
ions as to her identity. In the course of
time, however, she cleared up the mystery by
one of the prettiest and most practical confea
sions. She invited a large number of literary
r and artistic friends to a soiree in her spacious
> saloons. The fair hostess, in the course of the
evening, recited in costume every one of her
, principal tirades, from all the great tragedies
wherein she acquired undying fame, and then
withdrew. amid the hearty applause of her
guests. Presently she returnea in a new char;
acter to them, but an old one to herself?that
of a street singer, dressed in appropriate cos
tume. Her appearance caused an almost
i painful interest. There was poetry in the
: whole scene?in the clatter of her boots as
she passed up the splendid gallery,'with the
i wooden bowl with the sous at the bottom,
which she rattled as she stepped forward, with
i a melancholy smile. She walked straight to
i the head of the gallery, and standing motionless
for a minute, began the ballad which she
i had sung last of all before she was summoned
i from the street to the stage, from rags and
poverty to glory, influence and riches. The
voice of the singer was low and faltering, and j
produced such an effect that the audience
wept Having terminated the recitation, she
carried round the little cup or bowl, as of old;
only this time intimating to those to whom
her trembling hand hid extended it, "It is
for the poor."
ANECDOTES OF HANDEL.
Augusta Brown Garett, in an article in the
Musical World, relates some very entertaining
anecdotes of Handel, the great musical composer:
Handel was extremely passionate, and had
so remarkable irritability of nerve that he 1
could never endure to hear the tuning of instruments,
which process, therefore, was always
completed before he arrived in the orchestra.
A musical wag, who knew how to
extract mirth from his irascibility in temper,
stole into the orchestra on a night when the
Prince of Wales was to be present at the performance
of a new oratorio, and nntuned all
the instruments, some half a note, and others
a whole note lower than the organ. As soon
omaTTfld XTnn/lnl imwa iVin Qlivnol
ao tuc jl xiiivv oiiivcuj xiouuqi gave mo oigutm
of beginning con spirato, but such was the
horrible discord that the enraged musician
started up from his seat, and, na'ving overturned
a double bass which stood in hit way,
he seized a kettle drum, which he threw with
such violence at the leader of the band, that
he lost his full-bottomed wig by the effort
Without waiting to replace it, he advanced
bare-headed to the front of the orchestra,
breathing vengeance, but so much choked
with passion that utterance was denied him. In
this ridiculous attitude he stood staring
and stamping for some minutes, amid a convulsion
01 laughter, nor could he be prevailed
on to resume his seat, till the Prince went personally
to appeaseiliis jrrath, which he with
difficulty accomplished:
Having occasion to bring out one of his oratorios
in a provincial town of England, he
began to look about for such material to complete
his orchestra and chorus as the place'
might afford. One and another were recommended,
as usual, as being a splendid singer,
a great player, and so onl After a while,
such as were collectable were gathered together
in a room, and after preliminaries, Handelmade
his appearance, puffing, both arms foil
of manuscripts. "Gentlemen," quoth he, "you
all read manuscript ?" "Yes, yes," responded
from all parts of the room. "We play in the
church," added an old man behind a violincello.
"Very well, play dis," said Handel,
distributing the parts. This done, and a few
explanations delivered, Handel retired to a
distant part of the room to enioy the effect
The stumbling, fumbling, and blundering that
ensued is said to have been indescribable;
Handel's sensitive ear and impetuous spirit
could not long brook the insult, and, clapping
his hands to his ears, he ran to the
old gentleman of the violincello, and shaking
his rust furiously at the terrified man and the
instrument, said, "You blay in de church I?
very well; you may blay in de church?for
we read, De Lord is long suffering; of great
kindness, forgiving iniquity, transgression and
sin; you sal blay in de church, but you sal
not blay for me!" and snatching together his
manuscripts, he rushed out of the room, leaving
Ms astonished performers to draw their
own conclusions.
