WEDNESDAY. MARCH 27. UNLOVED AND ALONE. The sea dove some twin shadow has,? The lark has loves in seas of grass; The" wild benet tm-mpets back his vow, Th* squirrel krughe* along his bough ; Suffi I ara as lone, adas 1 Jta clouds that weep and drop and pass-. ? maiden, singing silver sweet, At cabin door, in fields? corn, Where woodbines twin* for thy retreat Sing sweet throughal> thy summer morn,. For love is landing af thy feet, Iii that fair isle in sees of corn, But I, I am unloved a-rtd lorn, As winter winds of wiatermoru. The ships, black bellied, climb the ses, The seamen seek their loves on land, And love as? lover, brand in hand, Go singing, g?*d as glad can b*?, But nevermore shall love seek rue^ By blowy sea or broken land, By bmken wil* or willo-w tFee. Bay, severcrete shaft love see me*. -Joaquin Miller. ?ta?- i ?gr ?Jost after the War. ? Tragedy of the SavannaJi River Pole Boat. Running pole boats on the Savannah ?tiver for many years before the civil war, and for zome fifteen years after its close, was a prefty big business, and one that famished about all the means of transporta'ion the people were offorded from Jarrett's Bridge on the Tugula, Jost betetr where the Piedmont Air Line now crosses to Augusta. . The products of the farm, such as cotton, corn, peas, &c , aod especially Cotton, kept the boats running regularly during the boating season, which begau about the first of September and usually . closed about the first of May. A cargo of cotton, with a favorable river, was about irfty bales going down, and a load coming back ranged from ten to twenty thousand pounds, depending largely apon the skill of the crew and the con? dition of the river. One cf the most appalling incidents connected with the history of boating took place at Brown's Ferry, six miles from Hartwell, just after the close of the war, in the fall of 1865. A consid? erable amount of cotton had been bank? ed up on the Carolina side of the river awaiting shipment. It was seized by the Federal authorities and claimed as government cotton. A guard of three young soldiers from a Michigan regi? ment were placed over it, and without apparent apprehension they remained unmolested several weeks ; but, alas ! one Sunday night at a late hour, they were rudely awakened from their quiet couches, taken into the ferry boat, shot to death, and their bodies thrown into the river. Early Monday morning the startling news had spread over the sur? rounding eountry. When it became known at Anderdon Court House, which was garrisoned by the Federals, a-posse wa? immediately sent to the river to in? vestigate the particulrr8, but nobody seemed able to give any information, as the murder had been committed by un? known parties at a dead hoar of night, as before stated. Fishing for the bodies of the yoong guard was begun on the arrival of the coroner, and" in a short time they were all found in the water near the ferry. B Afc* the fatal bullet holes through their beads, the bodies showed ..gos of other violence, supposed to have been Iniicted with the poles of the ferry boat. The horrible spectacle presented by the exposing of the mangled bodies elicited the sympathy of all good people, regardless of party affiliation, and the murderers if they had ever become known would have been objects of" the sternest condemnation of all respectable, law-abiding, people. The oldest of these ill-fated soldiers was otily 24 years ?f age. Their remains were interred in the Presbyterian cemetery at Anderson, where they still rest. Very naturally the Federals were greatly incensed and the blood of their murdered comrades called for revenge. In a few days throe or four of South i Carolina's citizens and one of Georgia's J were arrested on suspicion. The Caro- ? Hnians were suspected because it was claimed that they had an interest in the . guarded cotton ; the Georgian, because j he was largely interested tu boating cot- j ton. They ware first carried to Col um- j bia, S. C., and the time set for trial. The investigation began, but the testi? mony was not satisfactory to the prose? cution, and eonsequedtly the trial was j declared irregular, and the prisoners j were removed to Charleston, where j they were tried by a military court j martial, convicted and sentenced to j hang in April, 1SG6, but under a writ of habeas corpus, were carried to Dry j Tortagas, in the Florida Keys, and there i remained until a civil investigation | could be bad, when they were acquitted ? The experience they related of puuisb- j ment inflicted upon them by the j brutal prison authorities was hor? rible in the extreme, and if they had | been tried and found guilty io a ! competent court, it could Dot have been , worse, without taking their lives, j One of them, although a mau of very j strong constitution, soon after returning borne died with consumption. The cruel j and inhuman manner in which they were j treated brought to their as.-istance such ! grand men of national reputation as \ Major Thompson, of Ohio, and H or., j Tho8. F. Bayard, of Delaware (Presi? dent Cleveland's Secretary of State.) and largely through their iufiuence President Johuson was made to feel the oeceessity that something should be done for their protection, which he finally did io the face of frowning par- j tisans. j The prisoners were all nun of infiu- j eDce and respectability, and hut for the i position they occupied and the peculiar j circumstances incident to the closing of j the war, they might not have been ar- j jaigned nor compelled to endure sueii i hardships a3 characterized their prison j life.-H'trttctV- Ga.. Sun. A Practical Joke. Mosf squirrels keep two or more i Stores of food. Wood, the British nat- j uralist, tells of a friend who found one j of these reserve stores which a squirrel bad provided for an exigency, and the ; friend ;u a moment of thoughtlessness, ? oeteroti?ied to play a joke on the equir- j rel. He accordingly replaced the nuts j by small round stone.?, and carefuliy ! concealed all evidences of hts visit. One cold day in winter, he passed the spot, and found that the squirrel had called there a short time previously This he knew by the fact that ten inches of snow had beeu scratched from ! the *top of the hole, out-side of which j the stones had been cast by the disap- i pointed animal. This struck the joker j with remorse. He said : "I never felt 1 the folly of practical joking eo much in | my Ufo. Fancy tho poor little fellow, nipped with cold aod scanty fborx, but foreseeing a long winter, resolved to economise bia little board as long as possible. - Fancy aim at last deter? mined to break this-perhaps bis last magazine and cheerily brushing away the snow, fully con6dent tfeat a good meal awaited him as the reward of hie "cold job, and, after all, noding nothing but stone?. I never felt more mean and ashamed in my life, and really would have given a guinea to have known that injured squirrel's address. : He should have had as fiue a lot of nuts as woald have put him beyond the reach of poverty had he lived to be as old cs Methuselah."-Globe Democrat. The Princess of Wales. Twenty-five years ago the now Prin? cess of Wales and future queen of ; England was living on the third floor of a corner hoore in Copenhagen, and her father, whom no ons ever dreamed then j of being a king, was poorer than many ! a burgher in the same street. She and j her two si.t rs, now (ne Czarina of Ros sia and Duohess of Cumberland, oocu ; pird the same room, scantily furnished, rand instead of a wardrobe a curtain drawn across the wall hid the pegs on which their few dresses hung. They had never worn a silk dress in their lives. Now Alexandra doubtless has ali the dresses she wants, but it is more than likely that she looks back wi h pleasure upon those years as the hap? piest of her life. i- ***? -- Did you ever hear a very rich man sing?-Josh Billings. An x^ibany physician says he bas never known a case of cancer among the Hebrews and thinks their exemption from the disease is due to abstinence from pork. A?NARROW E-CAFE. Col. W. K. Nelson, of Brooklyn, catre home one evening, feeling a peculiar tightness tn the chest- Betoro reining, he tried to draw a lore breath but f<.ond it almost impossible.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY. -A paper has been established in China in which articles in Chinese are printed with translations in Vola? puk. -Mr. Walter B?sant says the time is not far distant when writers will be able to make as large fortunes as bankers. -Rev. Leonard Gaetz, of Alberta, was once pastor of thc Queen's Avenue "Methodist Church at London. At an evening service one of the choir soloists sang a selection that bordered very closely on the operatic, and it was noticed that Mr. Gaetz grew very grave during the singing, and when it was flrished he rose and remarked with great deliberation: "We will now resume the worship of God." Toronto Globe. -George W. Childs, the Philadel? phia editor, never sits in a street-car while there is a woman standing. Iso matter what her station in life, the moment a woman gets in he gets up. This often em ba ras ses some of Mr. Childs' acquaintances, who are not in the habit of giving u;> their seats to ladies, as they usually follow his ex? ample, so that there is rarely a woman left standing in a car in which Mr Cbiids rides.
