Some years after the civilar a gathering of veterans of both sides was exchanging reminiscences at a banquet given by the board of trade of New York, writes Mrs. La. Salle Corbell Pickett in Iippincottfs. The presiding officer was Colonel J. J. Phillips of the JSTintb Virginia regiment, Picke ttfs division."' He was speaking of night attacks and recalled oneoin particular, not be cause of its startling horrors, "but because of a peculiar circumstance, almost resulting in the compulsory disobedience of orders the obey ing, as it were, of a higher com mand than that of earth. "The point of attack had. been carefully selected' said Colonel Phillips, "the awaited dark night had arrived, and my command was to firs when General Pickett should sign&l the order. , "There was that dread, indescrib able stillness, that weird, ominous sience, that always settles over everything before a fight. You felt that nowhere in the universe wals there any voice or motion "Suddenly the awesome silenct was broken by the sound of a deep, full voice rolling over the black void like the billows of a great sea. directly in line with our guns. It was singing the old hymn, 'Jesus, Lover of My Soul "I have heard that grand old music many times in circumstances which intensified its impressive ness, but never had it seemed so solemn as when it broke the still ness in which we waited for the or der to fire. Just as it was given there rang through the night the words : i "Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of thy wingr. "'Ready! Aim! Fire to the left, bo3rs!' I said. "The guns were shifted, the vol ley that blazed out swerved aside, and that defenseless head was 'cov ered' Avith the shadow of his wing' A Federal veteran who had been listening looked up suddenly and said : "1 relnember that night, colonel, and that midnight attack which carried off so many of my comrades. I was the sincrer' N There was a second of silence. Then "Jesus, Lover of My Soul' rang across that banquet beard as on that black night in 1864 it had rung across the lines at Bermuda ' Hundred.

"Well," she urged, "go on. What were you going to say ?" "I beg your pardon," he replied. tcL was about to ask you whether you had ever stopped to think about something, but I might have known that you never did.19 "And you mean to insinuate that I never think ?" she demanded. "Oh, no, no, not at all' he made haste to assure her. "I only mean that women don't have to stop talk ing to think, for we all know that they do think sometimes." And yet he wonders why Bhe hates him. Cleveland Leader. Charged For it Fanny Kemble, the eelebrafcee actress of years ago, once ipent tin summer at a small country tow-. Massachusetts. While there she gaged a neighbor, a plain farmer, to drive her around. The farmer, desiring to entertain his guest, ex patiated freely upon tho state oJ the crops and to neighborhood gos sip until Miss Elemble remarkec somewhat testily, "Sir, I engaged you to drive for me, not to talk tc me." The fanner said nenrmore When Miss Kemble was ready tc leave town she sent for the niai and. asked for her bill. One of th items therein ske could not under stand and asked for an explanation. That?" said the farmer. "Oh, Ws 'Sass, So.' I don't oftn Uke but when I do I charge," V o toÄoÄoAoÄooroJ'OvOvOvOrOv By M. QUAD. Copyright, 1903. by T. C. McClure. Prudence Smith and Zabed Winters met at -spoiling school and were im pressed with each other. Zabed would have inarFied her if the Widow Ben rose hadn't mixed in. She wanted the young man for herself, and in awe some whispers she imparted tho infor mation that rrudence Smith was knockkpeed and would JZjlfehe able to stand at a wash tub cffSl up and down the cellar stairs. The young man was at once impressed. He ceased to spark Prudence on Sunday nights and assure her that he longed to jump over precipices for her sake, and of course she resented it. She went about with her chin in the air and asked for no explanations; and so .relations -were strained for many long months. Then Zabed's mother found out what -was the matter with him and set him right. The widow had lied. Zabed made it up with the girl. The dores came back again aud turüed, a new date was set for the marriage, aud Farmer Smith reached out bis horny hand for a shake and said: "Zabed, gol durn your buttons, you're gittin' the real thing, and you orter be the happiest man in 'Woodchudk county," Zabed was for about two weeks. Then Deacon Gray, who was a widow er and wanted Prudence for his second wife, gave up some information about Zabed. When he had sworn her to the most awful secrecy he confessed tlat the young man had a live frog in his stomach and would probably go mad within two years and cut the throat of his wife if he had one. .The frog had jumped down Zabed's throat -one day when he was drinking from the horse pond, and, though thousands of in ducements had been held out to him, nothing could prevail upon him to jump out. Well, where is the young girl, no matter how her heart tunks with love, who ii going to marry a young man with a live and growing frog in his stomach? She can't be found. She wasn't found in this case. Prudence Smith coolcjcl off on Zabed Winters, and he went about with his chin in the air nndwas too proud to ask for an explanation. It was a year before one cameVhen a lightning rod man stayed overnight at Smith's, and after supper he got to talking about frogs. Seeing he was posted on the subje Prtidpnee made bold to ask him if he had ever heard of a frog taking up In side quarters, and lie answered- that such n thing w.:s absolutely impossi ble and beyond belief. Zabed TVintc bad probably swa' lowed a small fisö and the lish might be growing, but il left alone he could in time be fished for and caught. That settled the frog question, and Zabed was invited to come around and make up. He got a hustle on him, and the turtledoves sang soft and low. a new date tos ap pointed, and Farmer Smith stopped chopping weed long enough to extend a hand and say: "Zabed you gol durued idiot don't you know when you've got u güod thing? Don't fool around any more. Zabed didu't want to, but before it had been decided which minister should marry them old Mrs. Sryder struck his trail. She was too old tor marry, but not too old to utter a warn ing for the benefit of a young man who had put in a day hoeing her gar den and refused to take pay for it She told him right straight out that Prudence Smith snored like a steam engine, that rhe hnd six toes on her right foot and enly four on her left that she bad had St. Vitus' dan e when a baby and that it was sure Aroinp back on her some day. It tuigllS&bt he a year after may-riage that' Zabed would coii'o up froin the cornfield some afternoon and find her dancing all around the dooryard and kicking as high as a fence. That settled Zabed. lie wanted Prudence, but he didn't want a dancing dervish. More cold ness, more strained relations. It was a full yca before, old Mrs. Snyder was proved a liar, ard It took three months lonjrer tor make up and set another date. Things had run smoothly to within a fortnight of the date when a tin peddlor came along and bought a sheepskin of Zabed and then told htm that Prudence Smith was deaf in the right ear, nearsighted in both eyes and would be tongue tied before sie was two years elder. Zabetl hadn't noticed the deafness r blindness, but he be lieved in tin peddlers and at once grew frigid. Tiesult, another year lost Fate was still in the game, however, and when ever.ybrdy, including the two principals, had made up their minds that here would be no marriage she came loafing around to do her duty. Farmer Smith and his daughter were in the village one day ''buying calico and brown sugar when Zabed Winters appeared. He had eggs to sell for hickory shirting. The lovers were brought face to face, but they didn't speak. They thought of frogs and St Vitus' dance and six toed feet and were turning away when Father Smith reached out one hand for his daughter and the ot'aer forabed and said: "Say, are you two gol durned idiots ?' "Urn!" replied Prudence. "Um!" replied Zabed. "If you wasn't you'd come along with me to the preacher and "git m&r ried and hev this taraashun thing net tied to once and fur good and aE."
