A Thrlltlng Picture of the Dread Reali? ties of War. It is the crises of the battle?the hour ia which the victory will be de? cided ! So it was at First Bull Run ?at Antietam?at Gettysburg?at Chancellorsville?so it was in every great battle of the war. There came a moment when the roar of musketry died away to a crackle?when the ar? tillery only growled here and there? when you caught the cries of the wounded above the uproar. It is 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Just as the summer mist wasrisiDg off the fields this morning, making the soldiers look like specters as they moved through the woods, Grant flung forward Hancock's corps to frapple with the watchful and-sturdy lee: Cannon were thundering and musketry volleying before one could see the redness in the east. Five hundred men lay dead or wounded as the sun looked into their faces. From that hour to this we have been fight? ing. We have advanced and been pushed bfjok?retreated and recovered our ground. We; have charged and been charged. Reinforcements have cbme fco us?the corps of Hill has been strengthened intime und again. Right here on these hundred acres of field and -forest has been the real grapple. The .fighting.rjght and left, has been only a part of the programme?has not b^eenvtO*gain-or lose; -**??*? ? There have been breathing-spells at intervals?a quarter of an hour when human endurance reached the limit and we had to fling ourselves down to rest. Canteens have been refilled again and again with the horrible wa? ters of the swamp, and men who could find anything to appease their hunger have eaten it as they rested in battle line. To the right, the left?in front and rear are dead and wounded men? dead and wounded horses from the batteries. During the intervals some of the less severely wounded rise up and hobble towards us, or being una? ble to reach their feet pull themselves over the ground. Some-cry - out' in agony?some call to us as .If .affrighted.. ,It is often so with men hit in battle and left behind or between . the lines. The shock of the bullet unnerves them^^ej^fear being hit. again,.or being trampled; under foofc.-by charg-. ingf-'cavalryfor ground into, the earth K:.the heavy, wheels of the field ces; They 'sob like children as y .hug the'ground?they calKout like frightened women as they drag themselves along towards trees and 8tumps;an^renqe?c ? Down" on "the right thousands of muskets are still volleying; down on the left our lines are cheering as they repulse a charge. Here on this hell spot it has suddenly grown strangely quiet. Grant has been watching and is going to make a new move on the chessboard of battle. Lee has been watching, and over beyond the forest masses of men in gray are hurrying up. It is the long breath -before the final struggle?the last look which a thousand men will ever cast towards a dull-red sun glimmering like a great human eye through the powder smoke. One more drink of the muddy wa? ters?once more the oartridge boxes are replenished?men stand and look about them in a wondering way, as if awakened from a deep sleep. A brigade is coming across the cor? ner of the meadow to give us support ?a battery is coming down through the^xpen-wooda**t<) afl8i8fc. in the final struggle. There is no cheering?you hear no talking except as the officers pass along the lines and utter encour? aging . words. There are dead men under our feet, but we leave them there. Here and there is a wounded man who begs for water or pleads to be carried to^tbe rear. u~A sergeant or corpora!

"Forward?march ?" Companies, regiments, brigades, di? visions?Hancock's whole corps, is brought up to its full strength by re? inforcements, move as one man. There is no shooting?no cheering?until we have advanced 200 yards. Hill is ready. He is also advancing. On a line a mile long, and running from a dusty highway over an old meadow, through a-wood, across a second field and to the skirts of a second wood, the dogs of war meet in a last grapple. We cheer and push forward. The alignment is broken in a moment, but we push on in gangs and mobs. Men fall dead without a cry?men shriek out as they are wounded and reel and totter and drop to the earth. If or? ders are given we do not hear them. There is a mad frenzy to push ahead ?to kill with bullet and bayonet. We face a storm of shell, grape, canis? ter and lead., but we push ahead. The sun goes down and twilight comes on. Have we rolled Hill aside? There is cheering, but is it from the blue or the gray ? The musketry has died out to a mere sputtering, and the big guns are silent. I look about me and question a lieutenant on whose cheek there is a great stain of blood. "Driven back!" he curtly replies as he passes on. That means Hill was too strong for us?that Grant cannot break through Lee's lines?that we shall move by the flank after midnight and grapple with him on another battlefield within twenty-four hours. The crisis has come aud gone.' It is I as if one had passed twelve hours j under the influence of a horrible dream. Have I been dreaming ? No 1 On this field lie more than 10,000 dead and wounded men to prove the reality of the horror. More than 10,000 dead and wounded men?and dead and wounded horses by the hundreds?and dismounted guns and shattered mus? kets and a great field strewn with the wreck of war and everything spattered with crimson and smelling of blood and death !?M.

Patterson is not a success in life," said all his neighbors. He paid his debts, following the apostolic injunction?owe no man anything but love?but he did not prosper in his business like Mr. Jennings. What he touched did not turn to gold, he did not know how to speculate, his three children were girls, his wife was delicate, the girls were not robust and he had to work hard to make "buckle and tongue meet." But somehow they did meet. The grass seemed to be greener, the trees more luxuriant, the flowers more fragrant there than at any other little home; there was always sunlight when Tom was about; night and mornings there was merry laughter. Tom had more quaint say? ings, one of which would fill his whole family full of sunshine for the day. Somehow when Tom was about the child would forget its grief, the mother her pain, the cat would coil up in the chair and the dog would lie down on the rug without fear. His horse fol? lowed him around, the old cow came up to have her head rubbed and the chickens ran to him when hungry. At the store the crowd looked cheerful as he came up. When he wont into the house of mourning somehow the grief seemed to be mollified. ' In the meet? ing of the session there was never a jar when he was there. The deacon always went to him first for a sub? scription. When the children met him.in the street they could not help feeling happy. When the pastor was despondent he oalled on Tom Patter? son and always got goad cheer from him. He was poor, always hard run, and people wondered why Tom Patterson made everybody happy. Tom was taken sick one day, and ere any one knew he was very sick, he was dead. There was a big funeral; he was buried in a pine coffin, and for awhile a pine board marked Tom's last rest? ing place. The people went home and sighed, and 6aid: "Tom was a good fellow, but his life was a failure." Mrs. Patterson put a small headstone to mark his grave, and asked the pastor for ft motto. There was engraved on that stone: "Tom Patterson, great in the sight of the Lord." The peo? ple read it, but most of them laughed at the idea of Tom's being great in anything,... But ..some of .them. knew that Tom had stored a good deal of sunshine in heaven. 'But Thad Jennings, oh, what a success-l; His. cattle- ;are the fattest, hisihorses the bestj Iiis land the rich? est, his house the finest, his specula? tions always succeed; everything he touches turns to gold; his wife is economical and a great, help; his sons and his daughters are healthy and full of life and energy and fun But some? how when Mr. Jennings comes in the sitting room, the sunshine glides out. The meals are not on time, the fire is too much punched, the children will burn their shoes, the servants are lazy, the cat runs out at the door and the dog tucks his tail between his legs and gets ready to hustle in case a boot? jack or a shoe flies at him. Somehow Mr. Jennings is not an ill-natured man, but he is a man full of business; he has no time for little amenities of life. His house stands there; some-, how it seems so cold and stiff, the place looks as though it might have come from the frozen zone. When the children meet him in the street, they look down and hurry past; why, they know not, and he doesn't know; the crowd at the store hushes when he somes in, and is stiff and-reserved. The session somehow, when Mr. Jen? nings is there, for he is an elder, are under restraint, business, busines; and when that is through, then it is adjourn and away. The pastor, out of respect and from duty, calls, but somehow he feels that it is an imposi? tion, for Mr. Jennings- is a very busy man, honorable .and fair, but his' trades are close,- and always made with an eye to profit. ' . ? One day Mr. Jennings fell sick, and it was not long until everybody knew it. His wife and daughters waited on him like automatons and did his bidding;?and he died. It was a magnificent funeral, a costly monu? ment, long obituaries, and everybody said Mr. Jennings was a wonderful success. T; . Sequel!?Mrs.'Patterson and three daughters lived economically, dressed plain, worked hard, and kept a decent appearance. The young people gath? ered there in crowds to sing and talk and laugh, and get their hearts warm? ed up. People in sickness and trou? ble sent therefor help. How many friends they had! They seemed to love everybody, and everybody loved them. I see Mrs.' Patterson now an old lady'; her grandchildren are playing around her, basking in the sunshine she is making for them. Young Thad Jennings and his brother Pete have both married Mrs. Patterson's daugh? ters, and the families all call her house home, and the grandchildren all cry to go there. What a happy old lady ! How happy Thad and Pete have be? come. Mrs. Jennings, on the death of her husband, shut herself in more and more, sold eggs and butter and fruit and chiekens and turkeys from day? light to dark, busy, busy, hurry, rush push, making money and being thrifty. The children went out into the world to hunt sunshine, and she knew not where they were nor what they were doing. The girls married early and went off to the city. The boys mar? ried the Patterson girls to get Bun shine, and Mrs. Jennings said the poor, pesky things should never dark? en her door. Nobody ever went to the Jennings house except on business or through politeness; her features grew hard, her face wrinkled, her body bent and rheumatic, her disposition soured and her old days were spent in making shadows to keep away the sunbeams from the poor hireling who alone stayed by her. But the world said Tom Patterson was a failure and Thad. Jennings a success. May the world never write an epitaph for "Simpson." Too Cnrlons. A certain down-east storekeeper was so offensively inquisitive that it was determined to teach him a lesson. Among his failings was a desire to examine the contents of every package which his friends deposited in his store for safe keeping; he must see the inside if he had to break the pack? age open. One day a man left a stout leather bag, asking that no one disturb it. The proprietor walked around restlessly for a while, and then stop? ped near the bag. Apparently no one was looking, in reality all the store loungers were in the secret and were anxiously awaiting his next move. He nervously fingered the cord that tied the top of the bag for a minute and then quickly untied it. He had no time to look in before the contents came forth. They consisted of a score of large and spirited hornets, and the way they lit on all the exposed por? tions of that inquisitive man was a caution. He shot out of the store at a pace that would have done credit to a sprinter. They say that for a year afterwards he hardly looked into his own sugar barrel without asking per? mission, A Hard Man's Hard Life. The New York Sun reads a severe lecture to a workingman in Meriden, Conn., who, on $2 a day, supported a family of six and managed to save out of his wages in forty years the sum of $9,000. Our contemporary tells this econom? ical toiler that he must have lived very closely; he must have been mean and hard toward his wife, his three girls and little boy; he must have cut down dress and food to the lowest pos? sible notch. Such a man must have denied himself a newspaper, Sunday suits for his wife and himself, and an occasional toy and stick of candy for his children. He must have been a skinflint, and from morning until night the word, in that household must have been, "scrimp, scrimp, crimp." This man's example is not to be recom? mended. He and his family have got nothing out of life, and the children who were trained up in it will doubt? less go out into the world to pursue the stingy and miserly course of their father. The Sun is exactly right when it says: "It iB good for a man to live pretty well, if he can afford it, and to get the best out of his money as he goes along, always, of course, avoiding anything like wastefulness, always practicing economy. It is good for him to put some money in the bank if he can, but not much more than he can spare. It is right for one to feather his nest but wrong to stuff it so full of feathers that its occupant cannot breathe free? ly. Certainly, oh, certainly, you should lay up something against a rainy day; but still you need not squeeze all the juice out of life, like the stingy two-dollar-a-day man of Meriden." _ In a little city of 25,000 inhabitants like Meriden a workingman with a family who tries to live comfortably and decently will find that it will take nearly all of his small income of $2 a day for necessary expenses. He will have to make money sacrifices if he lays aside even $50 or $100 a year, and if he actually saves $9,000 in forty years out of his wages, without mak? ing many in some other way, it goes without saying that he must lead a very hard and niggardly life. It is true that too many of our wage workers are wasteful and extravagant, but those who practice extreme and unreasonable economy and self-denial are just as bad. From such house? holds come the men and women who scoff at religion and who regard man? kind as their prey. They have been educated to believe that money is the sole aim and object of existence; that it must not be spent, but must be saved and hoarded, and the conse? quence is that they go through life never displaying any public spirit of charity and never beautifying their homes, and never contributing any? thing to the intellectual, spiritual and highest material progress of the world around them. Sensible economy is a great bless? ing, but we do not want the niggardly policy that will make people selfish, greedy and brutal. The man who spends his last dollar like a prince is really of more benefit to the commun? ity than the man who lives like a dog in a hovel and locks up his money, and shirks those public burdens and reasonable personal expenses which every good citizen should be willing to bear. Shot by Constables. Spabtanburg, S. C, May 16.?-The State constables are getting in some work now. After a little raid or two in town yesterday, they concluded to make a sally out into the country. In some way they heard that a load of whiskey was heading for the city. Constables Murphy, Carroll and one other, hired a team at Cudd's stable. A careful driver was sent with them. About 10 o'clock Mr. Cudd received a message from the coal chute, two miles from town, that his team was there, minus the driver and constables. The only things in the carriage were an empty dispensary bottle and a pack? age of cartridges. Mr. Cudd went up after the team, but could not hear any? thing of the driver and constables. This morning it was ascertained that they went out to Pisgah Church, five miles from town. There they came across a dray from town. Firing be? gan rather suddenly. The driver of the dray, Jim Emerson, and Pat Bur? nett, both negroes, were shot. Bur? nett s wounds are not considered dan? gerous. Emerson may die, as one ball passed through his side. His condi? tion iB critical. Up to noon the con? stables could not be seen. It is sup? posed that they are out taking care of the spoils. It is said that about twen? ty gallons of whiskey were captured. The deputy marshals have claimed the whiskey for the Federal government. The constables were not hurt. One report^ays that the first shot was fired by some one with the whiskey wagon. It is not known whether there were other persons with the wagon or not. Our Conservatives have no sympathy with the men conducting blind tigers. They will let them and the constables fight it out. Since they have permis? sion to order whiskey, such as they want, from abroad, they would be will? ing to see the unlawful sale repressed. It is said to be worse in the country than it is in the towns. There is no one to molest the blockade wagons as ?they ply their business far from the towns and constables.?Cor. Green? ville News. Murder and Marriage, Covington, Ga., May 13.?A trag? edy occurred near Newbun in this county, yesterday forenoon that has woven into its startling plot, love, romance, vengeance, murder and mar? riage. In Morgan county, just over the line from Newton, there lives the family of the rich and well known planter. T. D. Estes. He had a daughter and she had a lover named Green. The family of the young lady objected to the marriage of the young people, and they determined to take matters into their own hands. Yesterday afternoon Will Green met Miss Estes by ap? pointment and the two proceeded in a buggy to the residence of Rev. Mr. Hartwcll, who was to perform the ceremony. Just as ihe couple were getting from the buggy, they saw Mr. Estes and his son coming rapidly to? wards them. Green quickly pulled a revolver and fired at Mr. Estes, the ball entering near the heart, killing the father instantly. Green then fired two shots at young Estes, but with no effect. Leaving her father dead in the road, shot to death by her lover, and her brother bending over the inanimate form, Miss Estes went on with her lover to Broughtonville, where they were married. The sheriff of Newton county has received a telegram stating that a re? ward of*$250 has been offered for the capture of Green. _ ? A housekeeper in the throes of spring housecleaning comes across two ancient pillows. Hastily ripping open the cases she was on the point of emptying out the feathers when her mother interfered. "Mercy on me, child," exclaimed the old lady in hor? rified accents, "you mustn't throw those away: they belonged to your grandfather. The young woman gazed at the feathers dubiously for a moment and then remarked : "Well, grandpa must have been a bird," The Central Park Monkeys. "There are twelve varieties of mon? keys in Central park?thirty-two monkeys altogether," said Keeper Cook. "My favorite is a Nubian baboon. He always tries to help me sweep his cage in the mornings, and fights to get the broom away from me. I give him a rap over the head and then he pretends that he's angry. But it's only a bluff. He wouldn't hurt any? body. He knows I keep apples in my pocket and he knows which pocket they are in, too, and gets them when he can. There is a Java monkey who used to ring doorbells and had to be sent here because his owner's neigh? bors complained of him so much. Nobody could stop him. He lived somewhere downtown, and no matter how they tied him up he would break away and ring bells. He can't ring any bells now, but he is never quiet. "Monkeys don't live long in captiv? ity. They all die of lung trouble sooner or later. We have one that has been here nine years, but that is extraordinarily long time. We have only had one monkey born here that lived. That was about four years ago, and he lived two years."?New York Evening Sun. Clerical Wit; There dwelt among the hills of Cooke county, Tenn., some years since, a man named Watts, a "hardshell preacher, who was also a doctor. He was thus enabled to ministev to bodily ailments while offering the consola? tions of religion to the sin sick soul. In order to renew his own spiritual strength he sometimes found it ne? cessary to imbibe a little spirituous liquor, and on one accasion, having drawn much consolation and vigor from a bottle which he carried in his pocket, he ascended the pulpit and held forth in his customary hardshell style. He grew very vehement, and in making a sweeping gesture unfortunately broke his bottle, scattering the fluid all around. Stopping short in the midst of an eloquent passage, he exclaimed, "There, brithren, goes some poor woman's medicine !'' and then resumed the thread, etc. Expensive Postage Stamps. It is stated that the highest price ever paid for a postage stamp was recently paid by an English dealer In purchasing the one and two pence of the first issue of Mauritius, the price $3,400 each.

According to the Medical Record, caster oil has not failed in any case to remove warts to which it was applied once a day for two to six weeks. ? One of the religious papers an? swers a query as to the true posture for prayer in this wise : "The only posture to be avoided is imposture." ? A pious man is never sure he will not do something that wilJ send him to hell until he dies, and then nobody knows whether he is saved or not. ? A lady of Paris, Ky., fold a va? cant lot in Chicago the other day for $68,000. The lot was accepted a few years ago in payment of a debt of $600. ? General Booth, of the Salvation Army, has followed the example of Pope Leo, XIII, in forbidding members of the organization to join secret soci? eties. ? Profound observers have remark? ed that when a man don't know any? thing, he is singularly apt to disclose the fact whenever he has an oppor? tunity. ? Are blacksmiths who make a liv? ing by forging, or carpenters who do a little counterfeiting, any worse than other men who sell iron and steel for a living? In spite of all this talk about "un? safe" money and "flat" money, every? body seems to be dead willing to get hold of any kind of money, if obtained honestly. "I-rise to a question of personal privilege." exclaimed an agitated lady member of the Colorado Legislature, addressing the Speaker. "Is my hat on straight." ? She: "You must ask father for his consent." He: "He won't give it to me." She: "Why not?" He: "He's too close. He never gave any? thing to anybody in his life." ? The man who boasts that he works with his head instead of his hands is respectfully reminded that the woodpecker does the same, and is the biggest kind of a bore at that. ? "Listen to the Mocking Bird" was written forty years ago last week. The composer, Septimus Winner, is still receiving royalties from it, as the copyright does not expire until 1897. ? She?Why do you look so un? happy, George ? Don't you know that we are one now ? "Yes, darling, I know that; but judging from the hotel bill I've just had handed to me, the manager doesn't seem to think so." ? Wife: "John, dear, what would you do if I were to die ?" Husband : "Don't speak of such a thing! I would be desperate." "Do you think you would marry again ?" "Well, no ; I don't think I would be as des? perate as that." ? "Can you cook, knit and do plain sewing, dear?" said the Emancipated Young Woman to the loving young man upon whom she had been bestow-1 ing her attention. "Yes," was the timid reply. "Then be mine!" ex-1 claimed the impetuous lover. ? "He who waits to do a great deal | of good at once will never do any? thing." Life is made up of little things. It is but once in an age that occasion is offered for a great deed. True greatness consists in being great in little things. ?

A young Spartanburg bachelor is steadfastly opposed to woman suffrage.

He was convicted of larceny and the judge inadvertently sentenced him to one year in the Georgia Legis? lature. The convict begged that the sentence be changed to hanging, but the sheriff discovered the mistake and took the man to the penitentiary. ? The Southern Florist and Gar? dener says: The last census shows that the earth yields to the Southern farmer 25 per cent, on his capital an? nually, against a yield of only 14 per cent, to his Northern brother. If the value of machinery and live stock is included as capital, the difference in favor of the Southern farmer is even greater. ?
