AT THE CANNON’S MOUTH.
They said it was a forced march.
First, some soldiers on horseback went
tearing by with a terrible clatter, leav
ing a cloud of dust behind them, then
it was all quiet for an hour. I heard
a tramping, and looking up to the
crest of ruing ground to the north,
saw the road packed with soldiers on
foot They came quickly up, and I
scarcely had time to see wnat they
looked like before those in front had
passed. They didn’t march like sol
diers I had seen in the citv on a gala
day, when I was a little girl; they
hurried along, each man walking as
he liked. I wondered how they could

looked more as if they were going to
set up housekeeping than to war.
Wmlo I was leaning on the window
sill, looking out and watching them,
I saw a young ofllccr ride into the
yard, just as if he belonged to the
place—or, rather, as if the place be
longed to him—and back toward the
bam. Two soldiers rode behind him.
and they got down off their horses ana
went into the barn. I thought at once
they were after our horses. My pony
was there, and I made up my mind
they shouldn’t take him without walk
ing over my dead body. I ran down
stairs and out to the barn. Iflhadbeen
making a forced inarch myself 1
couldn't have gone faster. Before I

He looked at me sort o’ dazed. He
put his hand to his head, and didn't
seem to know what to do. I led his
horse up to the veranda. He dis
mounted and walked feebly up the
steps and sat down on a bench, while
I took his horse round to the barn.
Well, the captain was put to bed.
He had typhoid fever, and a very bad
case it was. Occasionally when troops
would come into the neighborhood, I
would mount my pony and ride over
to their camp and ask to have a sur-
S on come over and sec him. Between
e surgeons and my nursing we got
him through the crisis. I nursed mm
for six weeks. Then he became con
valescent, and it was very nice to
have him sitting up in an armchair
on the veranda looking so pale and
handsome. I used to sitflby him with
my work, and ho seemed so gentle and
so patient—not at all like ho appeared
to mo when I first saw him riding
back to the bam to ’press the horses -
that I began to fool sorry that he
wasn’t one of our own men instead of
being nothing but a detestable Yan
kee.
One day while I was sitting on the
veranda beside him sewing, he said:
“Miss Molly, are you still holding
my horse as a hostage?"
“Yes. Ours haven’t come back yet.”
“Don’t you think you could let mo
take him when I get well, if 1 should
promise to go and find your horses,
and have them returned?’’
“I’ll see about that when you get
well.”

“What do you meau by ’pressing
them?”
“We’re ’pressing them into the ser
vice."
“What for?"
“To carry the men's knapsacks.
They can march faster."
“Do you think it makes it any more
respectable to call it ’pressing?’’
The officer’s face was flushed. I
thought it was because he was ashamed
of his work: but I soon noticed that
ho was in a burning fever.
"You sha’n’t take my pony, any
way ” I cried, going to a man who
waa leading him out of the barn and
seizing the latter.
“Never mind that horse,” said the
officer; it’s only a pony. Take it back
into the stable.”
The man obeyed at once. They har
nessed two horses to the wagon, and
led the team into the road. As the
soldiers marched past it they throw
their knapsacks on the wagon, and it
was soon loaded, and one of the ne
groes drove it away.
Just then an officer came along with
a number of other officers and a train
of horsemen following him. I noticed
that he had stars on his shoulders, and
wore a straight sword instead of a
crooked ono like the rest.
“Captain I” ho said, looking at the
officer who had taken our horses and

that I made up mind to ask him in.
But I couldn’t bring myself to speak
kindly to him. I couldn’t forget that
he was a Yankee soldier.
“Come into the house," I said, very

“What hostage do you require in to

“You haven’t anything to leave.
Besides, I’ve done very little I’m
sure."
Ho thought a moment, and then ho
said, somewhat sadly:
“Yes; there’s one thing I can leave
—only one. I’ll leave that with you."
I couldn’t think of anything ho had
except his revolver, and I was sure he
wouldn’t leave that It wasn’t appro
priate. I waited for him to tell me,
out he said nothing about it then.
At last he was well enough to go.
At least he thought sq; I diem’t lie

how anxious ho was, and I didn’t op
pose him any longer. So ono pleasant
morning, when the air was soft and
the roads were dry, I told ono of the
colored boys to bring the captain’s
horse round from the barn.
The captain stood on the veranda
ready to mount and ride away. His
blanket and rubber poncho were
strapped behind the saddle, just as ho
had left them, and his horse was so
anxious to bo off that the boy could
hardly hold him. The captain took
my hand in his to say good-by, and
looked straight into my eyes. I lower
ed them to his spurs.
“You’re a good girl,” ho said. ‘Til
not forget your kindness.”
“Oh, I would have done the same
for any one."
“Any one?"
“Any ono.”
Then I asked myself : What did I
want to say that for?
“I leave you the hostage I spoke
of," h<Tsaid, “but it is a very poor re
turn for so much kindness—a mere
jatelle.”

Ho was going to make a return—to
pay for what I had done for him.
“You’ll And it,” ho added, “if you
have the shrewdness to guess where

thing. I even looked behind the pic
tures hanging on the wall. Then I
wont all over the house from attic to

Then I recalled nis words, “If you

At last I gave it up. “A pretty way
to treat me,” I grumbled, “after tak

that if ever I should see nim again ho

*••***
News came of terrible fighting at
the front Stragglers, broken down
horses, mules, wagons, ambulances
from which now and then a ghastly
face would look out, kept going by
day after day for several days. The
yard, the barn, the kitchen, were full
of men. The first day they drank un
all the water in the well. Then ref
menu marched by aln
when they were making their forced
ments marched by almost as fast os
when they were making their forced
march to the south. They passed on
ly tho house, but stopped on the crest
of the hill up the road. There they
began to dig with spades and shovels,
and the next morning when I looked
out there was a long une of forts, and
the Yankee flag flying above them;
and, great heavens 1 the black mouths
of cannon frowning directly down at
us.
While I was looking I heard some
thing rattle far down tho road. It
soumled like emptving a barrel of
stones into another Darrel. Then an
other rattle, mingled with a constant
dull booming. All tho morning tho
sounds kept coming nearer, till at last
I could distinctly hearths loud reports
of cannon and of muskets all fired at
once. I noticed a great stir in the
forts above. Horsemen were gal
loping bad: and forth; new guns were
every moment thrusting out their ugly
' r —xhing and
which they must have been Indian or
Chinese to understand. Then more
soldiers passed tho house from the
south, tired, dusty, grimed, some of
them running, some wounded and
tottering along slowly. All passed in
a steady stream behind the forts.
Suddenly a horseman dashed up to
the house—he was all dust and oirt,
and his horse was covered with foam.
Ho throw himself from tho saddle and
came up on to the veranda.
Good gracious! the captain.
“Come away from here at once,” he
said; “our men are retreating; we are
going to make a stand behind tho
works. You are directly in range. Bo
quick I the fire is liable to open at any
moment”
Then there was a scramble to snatch
a few things. Ono took a lamp, an
other a pitcher, another a photograph
album. It seemed as if everybody
took tho most useless thing to bo
found. All except me were hurrying
down the walk to the gate; I stayed
behind. Tho captain was trying to
make mo hurrv. Ho was stamping up
and down on the veranda and through
tho hall, almost crazy at my delay.
“Come, be quick 1” ho said, as sharp
as if he were tno general himself.
“Captain"— I said hesitating.
“Wnat is it?” he asked, impatiently.
“The hostage.”
“What hostage?"
“That you left when you went away:
I couldn t find it Must wo leave it?”
He looked at mo a momeut as if he
thought I had lost my senses; then he
burst into a laugh.
I never could stand to be laughed
at, ar. 1 just then it was particularly
obnoxious. I made up my mind that
ho should tell me what I had bunted
for, and tell mo then and there.
“Never mind that,” ho said, seeing
that I was irritated. “Save yourself
and it will bo in no especial clanger.”
“I’ll not leave it, whatever it is,” I
said, resolutely.
“Come, come! this will bo a battle
field in a few minutes.”
“I won’t stir a step till you tell me
what I want to know."
“Nonsense 1” he said, severely.
Tho more severe his tone, the more
resolute I became. I stood stock still.
“For Heaven’s sake!” ho urged, be
coming really frightened: “the gun
ners are standing with tho lanyards in
their hands ready to fire.”
“Let them fire 1” I folded my arms.
A volley sounded a short distance
down the line of forts to the west.
Tho captain tried to seize my wrist
“Do come,” he pleaded.
“Tell mo what was the hostage,” I
said, stubbornly.
“Here?”
“Here.”
“No, no; this is not a fit place to
tell you that. For the love of heaven
do come away 1”
I vowed I would couquer him or die
on tho field.
“You shall either tell me or I will
stay here till the battle is over.”
lie looked at the frowning forts anx
iously, then back at me.
“You must know?”
“Yes ”
“Now?”
“Now.”
“Well, then, Molly dear, I left you
my heart”
I stood as one who sees an engine
coming straight down on him, and
whose limbs are paralyzed from the
suddenness of the discovery. Merci
ful heaven 1 what had I done? What
stupidity 1 The blood rushed in a tor
rent to my cheeks; I covered my face
with my hands.
“And now, swoetlicart”—taking one
of my hands from my burning cheek
and leading mo away—“if you’re sat
isfied about tho hostage, we won’t stay
here any longer.”
As ho spoke there was an explosion
in the forts, aud it seemed as if a dozen
shrieking cats were whirling over our
heads. I almost wished ono of them
would strike mo dead. Tho captain
led mo like a child toward the forts
through smoke and noise and confu
sion. I didn’t think of tho battle that
was opening; I only thought how im
modest ho must think me, and that
ho never would believe I could bo so
stupid as not to know what ho meant
by leaving a hostage.
I have nad to suffer all my life for
that one mistake. I never can have
my way about anything, for when
my hushand finds all other expedients
fpr governing to be failures, ho inva
riably taunts mo with having forced
his secret at the cannon’s mouth.—F.

After Sir W. Strickland's horse had
been a short time at Newmarket,
Frampton’s groom, with the knowl
edge of his master, endeavored to in
duce the baronet's groom to have a
private trial at tho weights and dis
tance of the match, and thus to make
the race safe. Sir William’s man had
the honesty to inform his master of
the proposal, when ho ordered him to
•accept it, but to be sure to deceive tho
other by putting seven pounds more

Frampton’s groom Lad already done
tho same thing; and in the trial Mer

ponent about a length. “Now.” said
Framptou to his satellite, “myfortuno
is maae, and so is yours; if our horse
can run so near Merlin with seven
pounds extra, what will ho do in tho
race?” The betting was Immense. Tho
south country turfites, who had been

those from the north that “they would
bet them gold against Merlin while

sell their land." Both horses came
well to tho post, ana of course the race
came off like the trial.—The Horse

A STRANGE COMMUNITY.
Economic Mtl Social texture* of a Floor-
Inhlnc Colony In Iowa.
Probably the most prosperous com
munistic society in this country is in
Iowa, nearly 100 miles west from
Davenport, on the line of tho Milwau
kee and St. Paul road. There are no
saloons in the colony and every man,
woman and child is a worker. There
are no idlers, no caucuses, bo politics.
Marriage is looked upon as one of
the necessary evils, but it is not re
garded by any moans ns a meretorious
act. Children must bo had aud any
looseness of morals is sternly frowned
upon, yet the lot of the newly mar
ried couple is not in any sense a happy
one. Tho religious standing of young
married people is very low until, by
patiently nearing the yoke of matri
mony, they demonstrate their fitness
to enter into tho circle of tho elect.
Despite their costumes there are
many remarkably pretty girls in Ama-
na. In form they are straight and
slender. Many of them have clear
cut features, and their complexions
are beautiful beyond description.
The costumes of tho women are se
verely plain, and at the same time are
picturesque. A print kerchief, manu
factured in the village, is folded across
the bosom so that the waist of the
loosely fitting dress is bidden. The
villagers manufacture all the flannels
and calicoes worn, and each has a
wide reputation. A black cap of some
thin material is worn ratber far back
on tho bead, being gathered into a lit
tle bag at the back narrow black rib
bons tying it under the chin. Knit
stockings and broad slippers or coarse
shoes are worn, wooden shoes being
reserved for field work. Neither age
nor condition in life brings any
change in these garments.
No social intercourse is allowed be
tween the young men and the maidens,
and they see each other at intervals,
and even then at a distance. The as
sociation of the sexes is forbidden. On
Sunday afternoon tho boys and girls
are permitted to walk in the fields, in
opposite directions, though sometimes
they come together.
Wlieu a young man signifies his de
sire to marry a maiden ho is put on
probation for a year or more. Once a
week ho is allowed to see the object of
his affection, and no encouragement
is given his suit by any one. He is
never allowed to see her alone, how
ever. When the marriage finally takes
place it is made tho gloomiest of festal
occasions.
There arc no wedding clothes and
no wedding guests. Two or three
elders meet at tho home of the bride’s
parents and read hymns and lead in
prayers. The chapter in Paul’s epistle
to the Ephesians, wherein the apostle,
with unflinching severity, describes
tho duties of hushand and wife, is
read, with somber comments. After
the lecture there is a dead cold supper,
and every one is made to feel ns mis
erable as jKjssible. When once mar
ried, however, there is no hope for the
couple, as divorce is unknown.
These communists are rich, yet
they go without amusement of any
sort; all musical instruments save tho
flute are tabooed and there are no
brass band contests to disturb the se
renity of their even existence.
A small colony came to the United
States from Germany in 1842, headed
by Christian Metz, un inspired “in
strument,” and settled near Buffalo,
N. Y., tho name of Ebenezer being
given to the colony. As the colony
prospered beyond all ex|>ectatiou it
was necessary to secure more land,
and the present peaceful valley was
selected. The old name was left be
hind and Amana was chosen as tho
title by which the colony should be
hereafter known. Seven
sprang up and ore known as Amana,
7cst, South, Middle and High
Amana and Homestead. Anything
more peaceful than these little vil
lages cannot be imagined.
The inhabitants are pietists, or,
rather, inspirationists, but they do not
look hapny. They are puritanical to
the last uegree and the children are
as sedate and staid as their elders.
Christian Metz, their leader, died
twenty-two years ago, and Barbara
Heyneman, who was also an “instru
ment,” led the people for fifteen years
after, when she, too, died. Since then
there has been no one prominent or
holy enough tosuccced them and there
is in consequence no leader. Good,
pure and virtuous as Barbara was,
however, she came under the ban once,
though she finally regained her stand
ing as an “instrument”
She fell in love with a comely youth
named George Landmann, and marry
him she would aud did, though she
suffered expulsion for it As she was
a power in tho community, she suc
ceeded in getting buck, but she was
never really and neartily forgiven for
having taken to herself ■ husband.
There is a community of every thing.
No cooking is done by families, tho
meals being prepared and served in
kitchens maintained for that purpose.
There is an abundance of everytning
and no ono ever goes hungry. In
Amana, for instance, where there are
K rhans five hundred inhabitants, fif-
m Kitchens are maintained. Tho
proportion is the same in the other six
villages.—Philadelphia Times.
Too Sluch Itewliuz-
It was said of some one, “His sys

school; little but good—non multa,

much)." Mrs. Browning, who wrote
verses before she was 8, and produced
an epic at 11, indoi-sea such a system,
though it contradicts her own practice.
When still a child in ago she, as she
afterwards said, “gathered visions from
Plato and the dramatists, and ate and

She read every book she could find,
and continued tnat system of reading
through life: but later, when old
enough to judge of the system by its
