A PRISONER OP WAR.
BY BEKT BRUCE.
A few weeks before the war of the re
bellion broke out, my eldest brother,
•Will, left the paternal roof to seek
his fortunes in the west, and took in,
on his way, a largeand thrifty town in
Ohio, in which resideclsome influential
relatives of my mother. While "rest
ing on his oars," enjoying the society
of his bright and pretty cousins, and
"prospecting" for a good location for
business, the tocsin of war was sound"
ed by the attack on Sumter, and vrith
other young and patriotic men, he was
quickly enrolled in the 1st Ohio regi
ment, which afterward, with the 2d
Ohio and 2d New York, constituted the
brigade of General Schenck. They
were immediately sent east for equip
ment, Philadelphia being their tempo
rary headquarters.
Here Will made his home with me,
the barracks in Suffolk Park being un
comfortable and dirty, and in my
house he met our winsome Rose, my
husband's ward—golden-haired, blue
eyed, white and red of skin, a "little
maiden just from school," but the
maiden of all the world in Will's eyes,
if one could judge by the way they
followed her every movement.
When marching orders came, we had
rolls of bandages, bundles of lint,
flannel havelock, all ready, and filled
his knapsack with all manner of use
less, as well as useful things, in the
blissful ignorance of those first days
of the war, that "light marching or
der," meant the carrying of nothing
... not absolutely necessary.
It is needless to say that every edi
tion of the daily papers was eagerly
scanned for news of the movements of
the 1st Ohio, or that my husband was
beseiged for news from "the front," as
soon as he entered the house. Our
restlessness and apprehension were
wrought to fever heat, ana when the
news of the battle of Big Bethel reach
ed us, and the home-coming in his
coffin of one of our bravest and best
young officers made us realize that
war was no holiday soldiering, but a
hard and terrible reality, we wonder
ed at our own courage and confidence
in sending our dear brother from us to
be "food for powder." The sound of
marching feet, of beating drums, and
piercing fifes, never seemed to be out
of our ears, and I often found myself
wondering if it were not all a frightful
dream. Watching, waiting, fearing,
we passed our days and nights, until
the second battle of the war, Bull
Run, with its crushing defeat,
warned us that the foe we had
to fight with neither children nor cow
ards, but men like our own, desper
ate and resolved. When my hus
band came home, laden with the latest
afternoon papers, Hose and I parcel
ed them out, each going to a quiet
corner, to scan the lists of the killed
and wounded page after page, column
after column was eagerly read, the
only item which especially concerned
us being one to the effect that General
Schenck's brigade had covered the re
treat from the field, and was therefore
in a position of much danger. My
husband, wearied and worn with the
excitement of the day, had gone to
bed, and I sat under the gaslight, still
turning over the papers, while Rose sat
in an adjoining room, each conscious
of the occupation of the other only by
the occasional rattle of the newspa
pers.
Suddenly I heard a low cry from
the other room, and runningin, found
Rose pale and rigid she looked up at
me piteously, as I entered, and point
ed silently to a line in a column of the
paper.
1 read there among the killed, "Wil
liam Marsten, 2d Ohio, Schenck's
brigade, killed by cannon ball, on the
retreat." The room swam for a few
minutes, but, recovering myself, I read
it again, and then I perceived it was
the second and not the first Ohio.
The hope was a slender one that there
might be a William Marsten in each
regiment I knew was scarcely proba
ble, as the name was not common,
and it seemed much more likely that
a mistake had been made as to the
number of the regiment, than that
there would be two men of the same
name in the two regiments. The 1st
Ohio, commanded by Colonel McCook,
of the "fighting McCook's," had not
suffered much, and had reached Wash
ington in good order.
Arousing my husband, I begged
him to go
t0rthe
nearest telegraph
office, which in those days was down
in the heart of the city, and telegraph'
to Washington for information.
Not until he was gone did I think of
Rose, and returned to find her un
conscious. The days and weeks since
Will left us had been so full of excite
ment that I paid little attention to
the dear girl, and did not notice that
she had eagerly devoured all news
from the front, or if I did observe it,
II I ascribed it to ber natural syra
witl» me. Now, however, fiad a

as I, his sister, was free to do. Tak

ance that she knew I understood.
It was near daylight when my
husband returned, pale and weary
atid a glance at his face was enough to
tell me that he had no comfort for us.
He had -telegraphed to the com
mander of the two Ohio regiments,
and discovered that there were two
William Marstens one was reported
missing and-the other killed the latter
had been seen to fall, but the body
had been left on the field.
As the northern army began to re
cover from the demoralization of de
feat my husband and myself thought
it possible to obtain some definite
tidings of my brother's fate, and, ac
companied by my father, a physician,
we started for the battle-field, stop
ping at Washington to glean from the
survivors such information as they
had to give. We learned that a Wil
liam Marsten had certainly been killed,
as one soldier had heard the scream
that followed the deadly ball, and a
comrade had told him that it was a
William Marsten of one of the Ohio
regiments, which one he did
not remember. From the rolls
of both regiments the two were
missing. But here a very strange thing
apptared. The other regiment of the
brigade, the 2d New York, also had a
William Marsten on its rolls, and he
was safe. So it appeared that there
were three of the name, one in each
regiment, and all three had met a dif
ferent fate. Had the name been Smith,
or Jones, or Brown, it would have ex
cited no wonder, but we never consid
ered Marsten a common name, and
yet here were three of the name in one
brigade.
We went on the battle-field, but
amidst the debris of the struggle, and
the new-made graves, we could find no
traces of our lost, and sadly we turned
homeward, my father looking aged and
broken. When my husband and I
reached our home in Philadelphia, we
found poor Rose looking white and
anxious, and to her mute appeal of
inquiry, we could only reply by "a silent
and sad shake of the head. No words
were necessary.
II.
As time went on, other and more
terrible battles were fought, and wom
en, as well as men, had their hands
full of work for those at the front.
My husband spent more time raising
money and men than in his business,
while I, in common with other women,
almost forfeited my claim to be con
sidered a model Philadelphia house
keeper, for I confess the dust some
times lay thick on tables and mantels
Harry's shirts went buttonless, and
his dinner was frequently a "dinner of
herbs." While I was busy making
lint, bandages, jellies, and stockings,
or roaming through hospitals doing
what I could, Rose was my efficient
little helper, but her wan face and list
less manner were pitiful to see, her
faithful heart was true ever to one
memory of a few short weeks of hap
piness. One of her duties, never omit
ted, was the visiting of hospitals daify
and another was attendance at the
"Cooper-shop," a soSrajga resting
place at the foot of Wa&mipbn aven
ue, where "the boys" werofed, com
forted and, nursed, if sick. There, al
so, exchanged prisoners were brought,
on their way home, and many were
the pitiful scenes there witnessed.
As the exchange of prisoner's be
came a system, and the vicinity of
"Cooper-shop," became a rendezvous
for northern and southern prisoners,
Rose grew more and more constant in
her attendance, indeed, fairly haunted
the place. She would leave home
early in the morning, and not return
until late at night, until I was obliged
to
remonstrate with her, on the score
of her health as well as of propriety.
It was all useless, and finding her de
termined to go, I sometimes sent a
servant with her, and at other times
accompanied her myself. After two
or three of these trips, I was struck by
Rose's behavior while at the "Cooper
shop," for instead of helping the busy
and hardworked women to feed the
hungry soldiers, she took her station
some distance up the avenue, and
stood there like a statue a train
was coming slowly toward us, its
platform crowded "with blue coats,
who hardly waited for it to stop,
but sprang off and hurried to the re
freshment rooms. Rose planted her
self in a position to see every man as
he passed, and when all were gone I
expected to see her turn away, but she
stood looking eagerly toward the ap
parently empty train. In a few min
utes two men appeared at the door of
one of the cars, naving between them
a third man, whom they seemed to be
supporting, and slowly, carefully they
helped him down the high steps and
came toward us. Rose peered wistful
ly in their faces, then turned away to
repeat the same action again and
again, as several similar'parties were
carried past. At last she came, slow
ly and listlessly toward me, saying
wearily:
"Shall we go into the hospital and
see what we can do for the poor fel
lows?"
Little Rose! So care-free aud light
hearted before this dreadful war,seem
ed now a mature woman, so rapidly
had she changed, and as we walked
between the cots, and stopped, to fan
one, to give water to another, to write
a letter to a third,I was struck by her
tender compassionate womanliness,
which seemed to make her the daugh
ter of all elder men, and sister of all
the younger ones. While we were thus
engaged a shrill whistle heralded the
approach of another train, and in
stantly Rose dropped the fan she had
been waving before an armless soldier
and rising hurriedly, she almost ran
from the ward, her deserted patient
saying, with a wan smile:
"The little lady likes to see trains
come in every day she does that, and
then she comes back again until the
next train comes."
I followed to the avenue, and found
Rose watching intently the debarka
tion of the soldiers. Just as she was
about to turn away, a party of three
men, who carried between them a
fourth, appeared at one of the car
doors. She instantly stopped, and
waited until they came up to her, then
stepped up and gazed earnestly into
their faces. *.
The sick man looked at her, then
raised his head an stared at her with
eyes that looked like those of the dead,
go sunken were they, so hollow the
cheeks about them.. The bearers
stopped, set down the litter, and,
.•0009 and'limp little figure, betrayed wiping the perspiration /front their

however, contains this proviso:
That such officers shall not be appoint

College Athletics.
So far as the athletle feature of col
legiate institutions is concerned, Amer
ican colleges, as a whole, have too lit
tle rather than too much. Very few
colleges are provided with even or
dinary facilities for exercising, and
generally the management think so
seldom about the physical well-being
of the youth under their control as to
give no attention to physical culture,
iT Cy
necessity for such exercise as healthy
young men are inclined to take. So
there is, as yet, no need for fear of too
much athletics. When every college in
the country is provided with a gym
nasium, and students are found spend
ing more than two hours a day in
active exercise in that department,
there will be time enough for complaint,
but not sooner.—Chicago

THE PIONEER PRESS REDUCES RATES.
The "Old Reliable" at Popular Prices
Its High Standard of Excellence to be
Maintained at Every Folnt.
The Pioneer Press is an expensive paper
to publish. Any thoughtful person can
figure that out. It seems never to let cost
stand in the way of excellence, and it is a
marvel to eastern people that a journal of
this class can be maintained in the west.
It is said that but one other paper in the
United States is so widely quoted. Its rep
utation is national. It now announces a
reduction in subscription prices, and at the
same time assures that its high standard
of excellence will bo fully maintained at
every point. Its "confident expectation
of gratifying old friends nnd milking many
new ones" will hardly be disappointed.
Its new schedule is :is follows:

The cucumber is a peaceful looking vege

for thecolicand cramps which the mischiev
ous cucumber brings on, speedy and cer
