1 HE OLD COUPLE.
Jt stands in a sunny meadow,
Thy house so mossy and brown,
With its cumbrous old stone chimney?,
And the gray roof slooping down.
Tho trees fold ihcir green arras around it,
i The trees, a century old; ,
And the winds go chanting through them,
Jnd the sunbeams drop their gold.
Tl.o cowslips spring in the marshes,
Aud the roses bloom on the hill,
And beside the brook in the pastures
The herds go feeding at will.
The children have gone and Uft them,
They sit in the sun alone}
And the old wife's ears are failing,
And she harks to the well known tone.
That won her heart in her girlhood.
That has soothed her in many a care,
Ami praises Ijornow for thebsj^htness
Her old face used to wear.
She thinks again of her bridal
How, dressed in her robe of white,
She stood by her gay young lover
In the morning's rosy light.
Oli the morning is rosy at ever,
But tlje rose from her check has fled;
And the sunshine still is golden,
Hut |t falls on a severed head.
And the girlhood dreams, once vanished,
Come back in lisr winter time,
Till her feeble pulses tremble
With the thrill of spring-time's prime.
And looking forth from the window,
She thinks how the tree* have grown
Since, clad in her bridal whiteness,
She crossed the old door stone.
Though dimned her eye's bright azure,
And dimmed her hair's yourjg gold,
The love in her girlhood plighted
Has never grown dim nor old,
They sat in peace in the sunshinp,
Till the day was almost done.
And then, at its close, an aagel
Stole owr the threshold stone.
He touched their eyelids with balm;
'?$ And their last breath floated upward,
Jvikti the close of a solemn psalm.
He folded their hands together
Like a bridal pair they traversed
The uuscuii mystic road,
That leads to the beautiful city,

You often read about "a lino of bat
ik'," and, I dare say, think thru tho two
armies stand jo two linos, bl.t it is not
so. Tlio army is divided into divisions
and there iire often great gaps between
the divisions. Tliey aro pcitcd in po
sitions or in commanding places?tlmt
is, on hills, or in woods, or on iho banks
of streams, in phiccs where tliey will be
best able to resist or attack the enemy.
The divisions arc usually soplacod that
they can support onoanother. You can
undcrttand a line of battle pretty well,
by imagining a regiment, here on tho bill
another down it) tlic valley, ft third in a
pieea of woods, with artillery and caval
ry placed in the best positions. If you
want to make it more rtal, when you
ate out in the fields or pastures, with the
hills all around, just imagine that the
enemy is over on yonder hill, with ten
thousand men and twenty pieces of ar-1
lillery. You ore General and have!
an equal number. The enemy will
come down that road, spread out into
tho Bold, or creep up through tho woods
and attack )ou.
You, can't exactly tell how many men
lie will ?:nil 011 the right, or how many
on the centre, or how many on tho left,
so you must arrange your forccs to sup
port each other. Then, to shift it, you
are to attack him. Youdon'twant ma
ny ofyour men killed, but do want to
win i. victory. Now, there is a chance
for you to try your skill in planning oj
lino of battle. You must place your ar- j
tillory where it will do the most damage,
rind roooivo tho least from the oncmy.?
You must move your ini'antty so that'
they will not be cut off by tho onemy be-;
foro they get near enough to cut them
up in return. You see that it is no small j
thing to bo a General. These arc groat j
responsi liilities. ?[ Exchange.
The Youiik Wife.
Tho marriage of middle ago is com
panionship; tho soeond marriage of matu-1

perhaps the pallid transcript of liurned

the loving, is by tho direct blossingof God,
and is tho realization of tho complete idoa
of n lovely human lifo.
Lot those who liavo found thnt poral
hold it fast and koop it safo. Within tho
doors where lovo dwells let no evil thing
enter; and the loving brido must bo tho

Oast iroii shot are liable to break in pie

who had hastened down to hear from
his brave and patriotic son, attached to
tho 8th Illinois, obtained permission to
go on board tho January aud convorso
with the priaonors; when who Rhould he
encounter but two of his nephews from
Tennessee. He at once ontored into con
Tcrtntion with them. Ho nskod them

somd months ago, in tho presence of n
