THE SILENT MARCH.
Whoa the march begins in the morning
And the heart and foot are light,
When the flags are all a-flutter
And the world is gay and bright.
When the bngles lead the column
And the drums are proud in the van.
It's shouMer to shoulder, forward, march*
An I tet him lag who can !
For it's easy to march to music
"With your comrades all in line.
And you don't get tired, you feel inspired,
And life is a draught divine.
When the march drags on at evening
And the color-bearer'3 gene,
"When the merry strains are silent
* That piped so brave in the dawn.
"When you miss the dear old fellows
Who started out with you.
When it's stubborn and sturdy, forward*
march!
Though the ragged lines are few.
& ; .
Then it's hard to march in silence.
And. the road has lonesome grown,
Ami life is a bitter cup to drink.
But the soldier must not moan.
r And this is the task before us,
/ A task we may never shirk,
r In the gay lime and the sorrowful time
- We must march and do our work.
We must march when the music cheers us,
March when the strains are dumb,
Pluck and valiant, forward march,
V ' And smile whatever may come.
For, whether life's hard or easy,
The strong man keeps the space,
For the desoiate march and the silent
The strong soul finds the grace.

I | A Ride in_the Night. |
i How the First Officer Received J
jj ^ His Wound. ^
in
gL<J" v
It was the evening of the first
day out. Behind us the sun had 1
: dropped down below the sea, and the j
steamship was plowing on steadily
into the east, where the darkness was
gathering fast. The first officer stood f
with his back against the rail, lazily
I watching the throng of passengers on
the promenade deck. The whole
? i affair started with a commonplace i
"Good evening." It ended with the
following story:
"Yes, that was rather a nasty cut at
the time," he began. "1 came by it
during the last hour of the ride, soon
after we had sighted the town lights, i
and, strange enough, it wasn't from a
bullet at all?not one of them had ;
touched me all night?but it came
from the broken lantern of the last
man that fell. * As the fellow pitched ;
from the saddle he swung his lantern j
aeros8 him, and the glass of it struck
me in the face and bust to pieces.
"That was back in?no, it wasn't ;
- either. Let's see, now, it was some
years after we stole that gunboat I
. told you of, but I've forgotten
when that was, too. "Well, it isu't of
much consequence, anyway. I was
hue of the intelligence officers in the
service of the Indian government,and
just before sundown that evening the

like, a way he had when he didn't
.want to let on he was excited. I never
knew a man that tried so hard to be
dignified.
" "We've got important despatches
to * carry down to headquarters
tonight,' said he. 'See that the horses'
iron shoes are replaced by the leathers,
an 1 be on hand yourself at 9 o'clock.
The orders are that we've got to get
the papers through by daylight'
"We had other orders beside these,
sort of special, orders that weren't
' written down anywhere, bnt none of
ns were likely to forget fhem, or we
. didn't speak about them much among
ourselves. Yon see, the government
wanted those despatches to go
through, and if a man dropped out of
the running?well, it was exceedingly
bad lack for him, that's all?the rest
of as couldn't stop.
.* There wasn't any moon that night,
but %he akv was clear, which was a
good thing you see, for we only had
the stars to go by, and if tfe once get
off the track we'd go wandering round
the desert till we died. Prompt at 9
o'clock we started. There were 12
of us. The colonel took the lead?
he was an old hand at the game?and
I took up the rear guard behind. Between
up rode the sergeant and nine
troopers. . We passed the sentry just
an taps was sounded in the stillness.
Then we lit the lanterns, which we
carried on the end of lances, swinging
out slowly into the desert
"Nobody spoke a word. There was
a little draught of wind blowing in
from somewhere, and all around the
desert sort of sneaked off into the
blackness and disappeared. It was
terrible quiet The steady creaking
iol leather and the jangling of the bits
y. made it worse. The lanterns, too,
they made ns all look funny, swingle
ing gently at the end of the long pole?
and throwing yellow discs of light
before the horses. The colonel had a
S7 " notion abont those lanterns. He said
< the niggers conld see us anyway, if
c we showed a fare or not, and the
k' light kept the horses going steady. I
eould never quite make out whether
he was a genius or a jackass, as the
| saying goes, but he being the colonel
'didn't leave any room for argument
lor me.
<rWe had jogged along about an
hour or so, when of a sudden I heard
a low rumbling from somewhere behind
us in the night. I was just going
to speak of it when the colonel up
and hollers: "Now, boys, they're
after us. Put it to 'em.' And away
we went a-tearin' down the desert
'? "For the first two miles we hit a
terrible clip. The wind was sweepin'
past Us like the rush of a sudden
squall, and the lanterns were
a*bobbin' fit to die.
"By and by we come to slow up s
bit for a breathing spell, and the
rumbling grew plainer. I had turned
half around to take a look at then
yhen a fash of fire spat at me froir
out the blackness behind, and 'ping!
byjove she whistled close. Thai
started us off again a-whoopin'.
"At the next breathing spell th<
* ? ? TT v i j ;
I sergeant was nit- ne nem cm gram
for upward of half a mile; but sooz
he turned to wabbling, and gripping
to the saddle, and granting softly. I
was enough to turn r man sick to se<
the poor fellow figktin' that way wkei
there wasn't any use, for we all knev
what he was comin' to, and so did he
"Then all at once his lanten
sweeped downward to the ground
and my horse jumped him. None o
us looked back?we knew enough no
to?but we rode like fury to get ou
of earshot before they found him.
1 'That was the first of 'em
The bullets kept a-whizzing by with
out a bit of let-up. The gang wa
Strainin' crazy to catch us. I
had come down to solid business now
Each man was riding for himself. S
all through the night we tore on dow
the vast stretch of desert, with th
rush of the niggers behind us, an
nothing but the blackness aheac
And the lanterns were always swayin
and bobbing up and down, with th
light circles dancing on the san<

'twould have been easier. But the
didn't, and we listeued to the hai
breath of the horses aud the singir
slugs. There wasn't ahy talkini
We were staring before ns, straight in
front, trying to raise the town beyond
the skyline, aud waiting always for M
to see who'd catch it next. gc
'Then We began to feel that tho m
horses were playing out beneath us,
and with the breathing spells growing
longer and more often,the niggers ?
gained. The next man was shot dead, th
aud we didn't have to shut our teeth
for him. But over aud over again it
happened just the same; the soft th
grnntiug, the swaying in the saddle, in
* * t . 1 V _ P'
that horrible ciioiung imiu as ue ai
struck the ground, and the rest jab- Tj
bing our horses like wild men to get fj
as far away from him as we could, We w
had set out, you see, to carry the
papers through ?we had to do it?and
by the time we lifted the town lights
over the'homon there were three of h
us, riding abreast. Theu the last
man dropped. 'Twas his lantern ai
that caught me iu the face. Thiugs
got fuuuy after that. The colouel ^
said I was talking silly when wo got a
in. Well, I scarcely think the company
is paying me to stand round here
idling and spinning yarns like this, a:
I'll see you again sometime."
And the officer passed forward a
along the deck to disappear in the 11
thick darkness that had settled down
over the ship. J
E
STOOD BESIDE HIS OWN CRAVE.
Head the Inscription, but Doesn't Know
Who Is Buried There.
Dr. John W. Sage, who was buried
recently at Hartford City, Iud., saw .
his grave and headstone while he was
yet living, but the grave had been dug
and the stone had beeu carved without
the authority and knowledge of
himself or friends. Dr. Sage was a
member of one of the Indiana regimeuts
that fought iu the battle of
P.ViictnmMnijra and he was wounded
there. When he came out of the
hospital he was transferred to the reserve
corps, where he remained until
the end of the war.
A year ago the4doctor> in company
with a party of excursionists, visited
the southern battlefields over which
he once marched. He saw the old
tree under which he slept after a day's
terrific engagement, in which he was
badly wounded. It was on this night
that he threw away his knapsack and
lay down to die alone.
Vhile making a tour of the battlefield
of Chickamauga he came upon
what purported to be his own grave.
There could be i.o mistake, as the epitaph
on the tombstone read: "John
W. Sage, Company F, Seventy-fifth
Regiment, Indiana Volunteers."
It gave kirn quite a shock when he
saw it there. He never learned the
correct name of the soldier buried
there, although he made a thorough
investigation.
The doctor received a communication
from Dr. C. S. Arthur of Portland,
Ind., who during the war was
on duty in a hospital. Arthur writes
that on Saturday, Sept 19, 1868, Sage
came to the hospital for treatment,
after which he returned to his regiment.
On the following Sunday afteri
noon a man was brought to Arthur's
hospital, near Crawford Springs, Ga.,
1 mortally wounded. The dying man
i resembled Sage so closely that he was
given the name of Sage of Company
F, Seventy-fifth regiment, Indiana
volunteers.
The man was attired in a cavalryman's
uniform, but nothing was
thought of this, as some of the
members of the Seventy-fifth were
J compelled to care for themselves as
t best they could, and Arthur naturally
! concluded that Sage had appropriated
l ?_ I
a aeaa cavalryman s wumca. uo
thereby made a mistake, which afterward
proved very embarrassing to
Sage and his relatives.
Arthur afterward met Sage in Winchester,
Ind.,* where, after explana|
tions were made, Sage told Arthur
that on going into battle on that Saturday
he laid aside his knapsack, in
; which were a testament, diary and some
| letters from Winchester, Ind. The
; knapsack was taken by the cavalryj
man resembling him, and thus became
| the cause of further complications.
: The supposed John W. Sage was buried
| by Dr. Arthur, Dr. John McCurdyaud
I Dr. C. W. Fowler of Youngstown,
i Ohio; Dr. Frank Morris of the Thirty!
fifth Ohio Volunteer infantry, A. H.
Shaffer of HuntingtoD, Ind., and 0. I.
Herrick of the Thirty-fourth Illinois
Volunteer infantry.
Dr. Sage left his tombstone on the
battlefield of Chickamauga unmolested

FOR MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN.
Two Letters from Women Helped Through
the "Change of Life" by Lydia E-Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
" Dear Mrs. Pinkham :?When I first
wrote to you I was in a very bad condition.
I was i-assing through the
change of life, and the doctors said I
had bladder and liver trouble. I had
suffered for nine years. Doctors failed
to do me any good. Since I have taken
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
my health has improved very
much. I will gladly recommend your
medicine to others and am sure that it
will prove as great a blessing to them
as it has to me."?Mrs. Geo. H. June,
901 DeKalb Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y.
Relief Came Promptly "DearMrs.
Pinkham:?I had been
under treatment with the doctors for
four years, and seemed to get no better,
I thought I would try your medicine.
My trouble was change of life, and I
must say that I never had anything
help me so much as Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. Relief
came almost immediately. I have
better health now than I ever had. I
feel like a new woman, perfectly
strong. I give Lydia E. Pinkham's
Compound all the credit, and would
not do without her medicine for anything.
I have recommended it to
several of my friends. There is no
need of women suffering so much for
Mrs. Pinkham's remedies are a sure
cure." ? Mahal a Butler, Bridgewater,

Feeding for Milk, Batter and Flesh.
Selected milch cows at the Mai:
experiment station were fed ti
rations which differed widely in t
amount of protein contained. W.
Jordan reports that in both the tii
I othy hay was the same and the weigh
of the grain were equal, but in o
ration the grain consisted of eqr
weights of corn meal, gluten and c<
tonseed meals, while in the others
was all corn meal. The digestil
material furnished was practically t
same in both rations, though the pi
portion of digestible protein u
nearly twice as great in the mix
grain ration as in the corn m<
ration.
The general appearance of the co
showed less thrift while being fed t
corn meal ration, though the bo
weight did not vary greatly. The j
trogenous ration produced from 01

ally the richer iu solids by 30 to
per cent. The ration fed seemed
have little effect upon the compositi
of the milk solids.
Throughout the experiment 1
proportion of fat steadily increas
without regard to what the cows w<
fed, and no evidence was furnished
support of the claim that by changi
the food of cows, more butter fat v
be produced without an accompai
ing increased production of the oil
milk solids. Hence the most pro
able food for butter production v
also be the most profitable for 1
cheese maker or the milk farmer. 1
chemical tests did not show any i
preciable difference in the but
made from the two rations. C<

No stock of auy kind should have
j the run of the apiary. Poultry will
! do no harm in summer, but should
; not be attracted about the bee hives
in winter by the use of straw or anything
of that nature about tue hwes.
It is always best to have hives to face
the south or east in winter, or rather
to have the backs of the hives toward
the storm. Heavy snows do no injury
to the bees and should not be shoveled
away from the hives. This is often
done, and more damage than good
results from it. Hives may be en|
tirely covered with snow, and during
a very 6evere spell of cold weather
this is very beneficial protection tc
the hives.?A. H. Duff, in Farm, Field
and Fireside.
Pruning: in the Krnlt Orchard.
While the winter season is one ol
Bome leisure to the orehardist, if
ought not to be one of entire inactivity,
for their is pruning to be done,
find its proper performance is a mat
ter of much importance, says Josepl
Meehan in the Country Gfehtleman,
The young orchard may need but lit
tie hard work, but it will need mud
head work, for 011 its proper treat
ment now will depend whether or no'
, it is to afford pleasure and profit ir
after years.
The young apple orchard needs lit
i tie more than the thinning out o
; branches where they are too thick
i and the shortening in of others tha
; may need it to give good shape to th
I future tree. It'is by judicious worl
5 in this way in the early years of ai
; orchard that well-formed, beautifu
t trees are developed. There is n
' gain in having branches too low
5 Prune them up to five or six feet, tha
i getting about under them is practice
i ble. Large bearing trees often nee
j no pruning. Sometimes, where
1 branch is unthrifty, it is better to cn
t it out, to induce a new, healthy one t
s take its place. And where such larg
j trees have not been well pruned whe
, young, there may be large limbs whic
l need cutting out that others may I

I saw off close to the trunk, and paii
, the scar to prevent decay,
t Much the same rules apply to prui
y ing the pear'as to the apple, but as
makes more branches when young,
needs closer attentioli at that tim<
Very often good-sized trees are see
g with far too many branches on then
j | The tendency of almost all pruners
8 j to leave too many'branches, Do xl<
t | let them interlace each other. T1
i time to cut them dnt when they sho
a tendency to do this is tfhen they a:
*a quite small. Cut them off close
the limb they start from, that no bu<
will be left to start afresh. The larg
round buds of winter are the ones th
j bear the flowers. Sometimes in pru
ing it is well to observe them, as
k sometimes occurs that it is desirab
0 a certain kind should flower the coi
' ing season. Bearing trees will ofti
3 have their branches brought dut
shape by the weight of fruit. Pru:
)r such crooked branches in such a w:
n that a good outline will be kept up.
s Peaches and apricots are litl

g Should there be no young wood the
l(j will be no fruit. . Left to grow as th
0? will, which is the usual way, what 1
tie young growth is made is at the <
tremity of long branches. Pruned
? little every year, there is young wo
l<*' over all the tree, from near the grou
to the top. Do not let strong sho<
,e go uupruned. Not only is a lit'

formed while growth is still going c

as plum, what has been said of the pe

In the small fruit line a shorteni
in of the canes of raspberries a
blackberries should be made, 1
former to about four feet and the 1
ter to five feet. All old canes shoi
ne be cut. Currants and gooseberr
need little pruning except to previ
be th'em carrying to6 many shoots, i

The fruit is the best on strong ti
its year shoots, and the aim must be
ne eep up a supply of these. The E
ial lish type of gooseberry does not p
it- duce as much wood as our nat
it sorts; hence needs less pruning.
