Thoro was no fierceness in tlio eyes of
those men now, as they sat face to face
on the tunic of tho stream ; tlio strife
4ind miner had all gouo now, and they
tat still dying men, who had but a
few hour before been deadly foes sat
still and looked at cuch other. At last
one of them spoke: "Wo haven't cither
of us a chance to hold out much longer,
i judge."
"No," said the other, with a little ml
turo of sadness and recklessness, "you
did that last Job of yours well, ns tliat
ucnra witness, auu no poiutja to a
wound u Htlo nboro tho heart, from
which tlio life blood was slowly oozing.
"Not better thuu von did vours." an
swered tho other, with it grim smile, and
lie iMiinted to a wound u littlo higher up,
larger and moru ragged a deadly one.
And then the two men gazed upon each
other again in tho dim light; for the
moon had come over the hills now, and
-stood ninonir tho stars like the pearl or
meat price. And us they looked n soft
feeling stole over the heart of each
toward his fallen foe a feeling of regret
for the inexorable ncccsHily of war
which made each man the slave of the
other: and at last one snoke : "Thero
tire some folks in the world that'll feel
worse when you are irono out of it"
A spasm of pain waa on the bronzed,
uhustiy Matures. "Yes,"Biiu tno man
in huslcv tones, "there's ono woman with
ji boy aud girl, away up among the New
Hampshire mountains, that it will well
ninli kill to hear of this:" and the man
.groaned out in bitter anguish, "O God,

And the other drew close to him
"And awav down nmomr the cotton
Holds of Georgia, there is u woman aud
little girl whoso hearts will break when
they hear what this day has done ;" and
then tne cry wrung ltseii suarpiy out ot
iiis heart, "O Gou, have pity upon
them I"
And from that moment tho Northerner
jind the Southerner ceased to be foes,
The thought of those distant homes, on
whldi the anguish wasto fall, drew thojn
closer together in iitut last uour, unu uie
two went like littlo children.
And at last the Northerner spoke,
rnllthur lnnnt In 1iiiiifulf limn In nnv ono

Wjis listening greedily to every word :
"She used to conn. my little girl, blew

when I came home from the fields, and
she would stand under the crcutrlutn

similii. I shall never hear tho cry of joy
as she catches n glimpse of mo at the
irate. I shall never kco her little feet
running over the gross to spring into my
arms again."
"And then." said the Southerner.
"theie'Hnlittlobrowii-eyed.brown-hulrod

from th a roses Unit covered tho pillars,
mid hear her shout for joy as I bounded
iroin my horse, unu cuuseu me inuo ny

And tho Northerner drew near to tlio
southerner, and snoke now ill a husky
whisper, fur the eyes of the dying men
were glazing fast; "We are going before
God in a little while. Let us forgive
cacti oilier.
Tho Southerner tried topeak, but the
sound died away in a murmur from lite
white lijisj but ho took the hund of Ids
fallen foe, nud his stiffening .fingers
closed over it, and his lust look was n
Mnile of forgiveness nud peace. When
, -I be next morning's sun i walked up the
.gray stairs ofthudawn.it looked down
4ind saw the two foes lying dead, with
their hand clasped in each other, by the
stream which run close to the buttle
field. And tho little girl with golden
hair, that watched under tho plum tree
amcngthe hills of New Hampshire, and
the little girl with bright brown hair that
waited bv the roses among the green
fluids of Georgia, .were fatherless.
Tho aristocratic victims of tho
French Revolution accepted their fate
for the most part with coolness and calm
ness characteristic of high bred persons;
for it is perfectly true Unit those bred

Sir. Antufttus Warner, a well-known
Jubllsher of Chicago, thus writes from
Pn:
"I have visited all the principal dues
of Japan Toklo, Hlogo, Osaka. Kioto,
and Nagasaki. I came to Shanghai only
three days ago, and am already'lieartily
sick of China. The Japanese are pleas
ing in their manners, and very cleanly :
while the Chinese are disagreeable, and
villainously dirty. They tell meShang
lud is not nearly so tad as most Chinese
cities, bnt it stinks in every nnrt. and
some travelers claim that they can smell
China at sea ns soon as uiey get wiuiin
a hundred mites of the coast. Even the
shops and stores are offensive. The
cneay inmgs are suss, una, ivory, ana
carvings.
"I like Japan very much, The country
is lovelv. Every farm is a Burden, laid
out and cultivated with as much regu
larity and taste as the finest gardens in
America. The fields are terraced, both
on the plains and upon the hillsides,
and so arranged that the whole or any
part can be flooded at any tlmo from
the immense reservoirs. The country
abounds in beautiful rivers, lakes, cas
cades, and high mountains. There are
milts ana uowers in auunuance. eeu

When the globe was soft it was more or

tended to drive off, ns it were, tho matter

and that it must have lieen so, has wen

that "It might have gradually shifted to

"It cannot be that earth is man's only

it thostarsthat hold their festival around
