Th? ??Wier'. Platform.
I say ire fought them bravely .?
All tho dark ?ad terrible day?,
When the war waa 'counting tte victims
Ia all ?li? woods and ways;
And once again, through all roy veine,
Th? battle fever thrills,
When I think of how they fought ns
O'er the Southorn vales and hine.
I say thoy fought us bravely,
. Foot to foot and hand tb hand,
And they wrestled with ns manfully
For all tho Southern land;
And a soldier's admiration
Through all mv warm blood thrills,
When I Slink how well they fought us
For tho Southern vales and hills.
I say that old Potom&o
And winding Tennessee,
Bear witness to tho kindred blood
That strove so gallantly 1
And I know the soldier-f eel i n g
Through, every bosom thrills.
Of all who fought on either side
For the Southern vales and hills.
And I say that I forgive them
For the rebel gray thoy wore;
And they may hate who did not fight- j
But for us tho war is o'er 1
So let all the soldiers rally now,
With kindred hearts and wills
All-all, who fought so bravoly
For the Southern vales and hills 1
\ New'York Citizen.
THU PARSON'S PREDICAMENT.
I will relate the particulars of a '
painfully disagreeable predicament
in which I was once placed-a cleri?
cal one, to boot-and yet it ended so
advantageously as to start me well in
life. '...'.> , .
Just after I was married, I took|
tbs curacy of B--, in Warwick?
shire. . I resided in the rectory,
tho rector himself being obliged to
Uve in the South of France. Callers
of course carno, but, owing to one
circumstance and another, we missed
seeing most of them. Before we had
started on our round of returning
visits, I received a friendly note
from Mr. Chilmark, a vicar in the
neighborhood, stating that, in for?
mer times, be bad known my father
at college; that be bad the rural
dean and a few friends coming to
dine with bim on such a day, and
that if my wife and I would waive
ceremony, (we had not then returned
bis call,) Mrs. Chilmark and be
would be much pleased if we would
Join their dinner-party. I should
remark that my wife and I had never
seen Mr. and Mrs. Chilmark; we
were out in the parish when they
called on ns. They lived about
three miles on the other side of the
town of W-, from which we were
two miles distant. In those days,
I did not keep a close carriage, but I
drove my wife in an open wag?
gonette. I did not know the coun?
try at all; but having studied tho
map, and got directions from an
acquaintance, I bad little doubt but |
that, with the help of a young moon,
I should find my way.
It so happened that the night of
November 18, 1858, was very foggy;
the moon was hardly of any use to
us. We could find our way to the
town of W-all right, because it
was a turnpike road, and I was ac?
quainted with it; but with regard to
the other side of the town and the
cross-roads, I hardly know what to
do. I made up my mind to see if I
could get on at all; and if I fonnd
myself in the least degree puzzled, I
determined to go back, and get an
hostler from the town to act as a
guide. As we were leaving W
and about to drive through a turn?
pike, a well-appointed carriage over?
took us, and passed through the
gate just before us. I asked the
woman at the gate whose carriage it
was. * 'Mr. Singleton's, " she replied.
"How fortunate," exclaimed ny
wife; "that is the rural dean. Wt
know be is going to dine with the
Chilmarks; so you have only to fol?
low close upon him, and we shall be
all right," Acting on my wife's
bright suggestion, I did follow the
carriage, and that closely. Luckily,
my horse was a good ono. Occa?
sionally, when near water, we seem?
ed to be plunging through darkness,
so thick was the fog. However, all
went well; and at last I was glad to
follow the carriage before me through
an avenue up to a large house, whose
hall was blazing with light, and
resplendent with the liveries of the
servants. Wo did not take muoh
notice then of these things; but, as I
divested myself of my wrap3, and my
wife putting herself straight in some
baok room, I oould not help envying
Mr. Chilmark, and thinking that his
living must bo au exceedingly good
one, as he was able to have things in
euch style.
in a few minutes, wo wore ushered
into the drawing-room, tho butler
making, as usual, some blunder
about our names when announcing
ns. Mr. and Mrs. Chilmark came
forward and kindly accosted us. My
wife was installed on a sofa near the
fire, and I formed one of a knot of
gentlemen lounging in the back?
ground. We were a large party,
about twenty iu number ; and as the
butler left the room, I thought I
heard Mrs. Chilmark give the order
"Dinner." A few dull moments, as
usual, before that meal, when sud?
denly an electrical shock of a curious
nature was communicated to tho
majority assembled in the drawing
room. Tho door was opened, and
instead of dinner being announced,
the butler ushered in Mr. and Mrs.
Templeton. There did not appear
to me to be anything unnsual in
this, but evidently a great commo?
tion was created. Persons looked!
i Ofwiously at Txyj ^yiff* tt?A -f^asv
at ?asVMr. Cbilaaork tenoned-me on
the shoulder, saying: ?'May I apeak
a word with you in the library?" I
followed, and. noticed my host, in
orossing the .hail, say something to
one of the servants.
As soon as we were closeted toge?
ther, Mr. Chilmark s manner changed
at once, .''Now, sir," said he to me,
"what is tb,o meaning of'all this?
Who are you really?. Where do you
come from?" Of oourse, I was sur?
prised; and wishing my father's pep
l pery friend, Mr. Chilmark, at the
! very opposite side of the globe, I
calmly stated who I was, and re
! minded him of his invitation.
"I invite you, sirl" he roared;
??you-you-you-" He bit II?B
lips to check his angry words.
"Yes, sir," I replied, "you did;
and you asked also Mr. Singleton,
thejrurnl dean, and I have come, not
exactly with him, but just after him."
"Stop sir; no more Hes."
"Excuse me, sir," I replied; "one
more word, and I have done. Either
you are prematurely drunk, or you
are mad. I do not care to dine with
either drunkard or madman. I shall
call my wife out of the drawing
room, and beg to twish you good
evening."
I "Excuse me, sir," ho hissed through
his teeth, while he "placed himsell
between mo and the door; "you wi!
not get off so easily, young man."
Now this was a pleasant predica
ment, thus to be closeted with a mad
man.
"Pray, may I ask you what ot
earth you mean?" said I.
"Pray, may I ask you what or
earth yo ti mean?" he replied. "D<
you know who I am?-where yoi
are?"
"Yes; you aro Mr. Chilmark, th<
reoter of-, a very old friend o
my father, the late Mr. Temple, o
-; I am standing in your library
at your rectory, having been aske<
here to dino; and, upon my word, th
sooner I get out of your hospilabl
house, and cut yonr acquaintanc
for good, the better I shall b
pleased."
He grinned horribly as I spoke
and said: "I am Lord Claydon
This is Claydon Castle. I neve
asked yon to dine; and, in shorl
yon are a scamp. I have airead
sent for a policeman, and, till h
arrives, you shall not leave thi
room."
"Well," thought I, "thank gooc
ness, he has sent for a policeman; s
ere long I shall get rid of this mar
man's society. " What to do I kne
not. I fixed my eye on him, an
tried to master him by starin
him out of countenance. We wei
both silent for a few moment
At last, my friend said to mt
"Your tale is ingenious, youn
man; but it breaks down. If yo
were goiug to dine with Mr. Chi
mark, at - Rectory, how cove
yon to bo here, a distance of si
miles from your pretended destini
tion?"
"I then explained that I knew tl
rural dean, Mr. Singleton, was goiu
to dino with Mr. Chilmark-that
was a stranger in tho County, ar
was not acquainted with the roads
that the turnpike woman told me
was Mr. Singleton's carngo whic
passed us at tho gate, and that I he
followed it, and consequently four
myself where I was now."
Light began to dawn somewh
upon the obfuscated senses of bol
of us. It struck mo that my sn;
posed madman was in all probabili
really Lord Claydon, and that
somo way I had made a mess of tl
matter-missed my leading carrie)
in the fog, or done something
that kind. I imagine it began
strike tho gentleman opposite, th
possibly, after all, I might not be i
imposter. Lord Claydon-for so
must call bim-then said: "You t<
me that you nro Mr. Temple, t
new curate of-. What proofs ci
you give mo that you aro what yt
represent yourself?"
"Plenty,to-morrow, replied I; "b
not many at present. Look at tr
however-do I not appear a gent
man and a clergyman?"
With n kind of ghastly grin, Lo
Claydon said: "That goes 1
nothing. You aro not a bit better g
up than-in fact, not so well as -
However, I want more proof."
"Proof!" replied I. "Why,
into your drawing-room, and see
some of your neighbors do i
possess moro information than yoi
self, and usk them whether or i
a Mr. Templo has not very recen
come to be curate of -."
"Oh, vory likely that is the eas
sir; but I want proofs that you i
that Mr. Temple."
"Proofs, man!"I cried, gettingv<
impatient-"proofs, man. WI
what am I to do? I cannot refer y
to my mother, for she 's not bore;
do not carry my card case in :
dress-coat; and ray wife's evidei
is, I snpposo, not admissible. I 1
you, though, what I can do-11
to refer you to my pocket-handk
ohief, my stockings and the tail
my shirt. If you wish to insp
them, you will find 'Edward Tem]
written in marking-ink." So snyi
I pulled out my pocket-handkerol
and indignantly - threw it on
table. Lord Claydon took it i
carelessly glanced at it, and th
smiling, showed me "E. H. 1
embroidered in tho corner. To
intense annoyance, I saw that
wiio had placed in my pooket a fine
soon tod handkerchief of her own,
that I might scorn grand, I suppose;
and not only that, but the pocket
handkerchief was ono of her marriage
outfit; and marked-goodness knows
for what reason, though I could
suggest many-with tho initials of
her maiden name-the said pocket
handkerchief, mind yon, being never
to be used till she became Mrs.
Edward Temple. I explained mat?
ters to Lord Claydon, and said: "It
really looks awkward ; bot may I beg
you to examine my stockings and
tbo tail of my shirt. My wife's
stockings would not fit me, and she
cnn hardly have a shirt made Uko
this." So saying, I began to kick
off my dress Wellington boot.
Lord Claydon interrupted mo:
"My dear sir, I cannot allow that.
Bo kind enough to forgive and ex?
cuso mo for what has^taken place.
I could not subjeot a gentleman. to
tho test you propose; and if! I havo
by any chance been taken in again"
-and ho laughed-"all I oan say is,
I havo been deceived by tho most
perfect fac-simile of a gentleman,"
and, as he spoke, he held out his
hand: "Forgive me, will you?" Our
hands met in a mutual squeeze. He
sat down for a moment at the table,
wrote a hasty note, and then taking
my arm within his, led me to the
drawing-room. As he crossed the
hall, he gave the noto to a servant,
with a message, of which all I caught
was-"Give that to-."
