THE LONG AGO.
Do you think of tbe long ago, sweet mite.
As we sit by the old brook's side,
While the wooab.rd 1W 4 tho linden flings
lit ihadows over- the tide t .
Do yoa think of the bright time gone.
When we est by thU tinkling itreun,
Droamlng lor hours 'mid lt gJ wild flowers
As only youth en dreamt
You remember the hawthorn hedge beyond,
' Where the thrushes came to sing
When the sky was blue and each green leal
new
In the fresh and Joyful spring.
Blue violets bowed beneath.
And winds low answers gave.
Wale rtoh and bright the trembling light
Lay on the a lvr wave.
You were aearoely a woman then, dear wife,
But a youag girl, aweot sua Is r,
A maiden meek with each soft round oheek
Half-hidden 'neatU waving hair;
And Huahod to the hue of an opontng rose
Whan an heart Bound out Its tale.
While the trot s around mode a whispering
sound
At the soft kiss of the sale.
sly owol you have bo rue some sorrow slnoe,
Yaere are shadows oa your brow ;
Eyes whloh were bright ss the stars of night
Are dim and sorrowful now.
Yon have folded twodlmpltd hands
O'er a little child's white breast,
And laid her to sleep to s grave dug deep.
But no sound can break that rest.
We have only each other left to love
As we sit bv the old brook's side.
Wh.le the woodoird sings and the linden flings
Its shadow over the tide.
You wonder how much the heart oan bear,
Arid your silent teardrops Bow ;
tt the Joy of lite return, sweet wife.
For the asks of our long ago.
C atatheeoa. In Onoe a Week.

Willi an aching head and heart heavy
w!tn disappointment, Luke Mason retired
trlis btd that night; weary from travel he
lUiuit fell asleep, despite hi anxiety. He
iaomed to have sea me lost consciousness,
nd his mind bod befmn to wander amid
ajruo, misty dreams, when bo was aroused
by a loud noise of confused voices in which
were mingled oaths, throats and the plead

"Khet up, old man; we hain't agwine tar

There was no time to parley, for ttio moo

to dawn when they came in signi oi a camp
on a hlll-slde, in a woods pasture. The stars

he wauted to see the Captain, and was con
ducted 10 a wagon, which was tho chief offl
mr'i headquarters. There were almost a
hundred men in the camp, and very little
discipline was shown. The arms were
chiefly the ordinary fire-locks, shot-guns
and rifles, and they were wholly without
uniforms.
Whon Luke had told bis story to Captain
Rmart the latter aaid :
"If it's yer Intention to fight fur the
Union, ye needn't go any lunner, iur j
want three more men here now, end I'll en
roll he and sw'ar ve riirht in."
It was a sudden change, but sudden
chances were common, and in n few rain
utes Luke Mason was enlisted as a recruit.
An old white-haired man, dressed half in
buckskin and half Jeans, came to blm and
invited hiui to his mess, as they just lacked
one mora. The old follow was known as
Arkansaw Tom, was bravo as a lion, with a
heart tender as a woman's.
Luke found this beginning of soldier life
far from agreeable. The coffee was black,
the meat burnt and the bread hard and dry.
The newly-made soldiers were lying about
upon tbe grass, some already complaining
of the hardships and other narrating re
markable adventures, of which the narrator
was always the hero.
Captain Smart was a man of pluck and
oommon aenae. which In a measuromade
amends for bis lack of military skill. H
had a United States drill book and Hardee's
lactic, over which bo bad been pouring
very idle moment for three daya. Immedi
ately after breakfast b brought hi com
pany upon a greea spot, devoid of tree,
to Instruct them in tho manual of arm.
After aa hour spent m tboso zeroise
they gathered up all camp equipag and
took np their line of march, intending to go
to Lexington.
Peonlsoame to their door to see them,
snd as they went by they thought they
must be a great army.
About tbe middle of tho afternoon tboy
reached Sagget, a small place ef half a
doxen houses, on store, a blacksmith shop
snd post-office to give It the appearance of
a village. The house were scattered over
the crest of a bill. In a woods pasture
north of them, 10 the left of the road, Cap
tain Smart aaid they would encamp to
wait the arrival of other companies of re
eruits.
. About fiftrmon who had come the night
before were already encamped among Hid
tree which covered the hillside, and dur
ing tbe day a hundred more came in. lue
autxrabundance of commissioned officers, or
men who would be commissioned officers if
the Governor would sign their cominls
s.oos, gave no utuo irouoio auoui, w
should rank the other. But after much
parleying, the honor of commaad was con'
ferred on Captain Mmurv
The men were under very alight restraint,
and the enforcement of military discipline
was almost Impossible.
Luke' acquaintance, Arkansaw Tom,
seemed to take oousidoruble interest in the
new recruit.
"Don't spect soier life 11 ajp-ee wltn ye at
fuxt," Tom said.
'Xo, I don't think it will, but I hopo to
get accustomed to it," Luke answered.
tli,ys; a feller kin git us ter most
any thing I guess. But we'll meet some 'o

very long 'bout beah."
"Tho country must do iuii oi memr- m
Luke.
Thicker 'n hop," answered the oia man,

Luke made no answer; be signed, cast
his eves upon the ground and mentally
aaked himself bow long it would be or it
was dyed with human blood. Would n ever
see again that bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked
girl, whose kiss seemed (till warm on bis

" Come on, Luke Mason, and give a band

Ther were tnrlng to raise a rude ton!

him in excellent need on the present occa

For a moment tbe blood soemed to forsake
Luke' vein, and left him trembling with
dread. Awakened by shouts, the erack of
nre-orm and all the appalling sounds of
carnage, confuse the veteran, and th won
dor is that it did not produce a panic among
tbes raw recruit.
Perhaps they were too much stupeoaa to
become pankxtricken. They seemed to
realise that their aalety lay ra goiung o
bind the fenoa as soon as possible, as it
afforded them a partial protection.
By t;h time Luke reacbed toe iencs uw
firing ceased and tbo echoes of th shots
died away. Tho raw recruit glanced aown

crouching, kneeling and lying behind) it.
while their gun formed a serried paaianx oi

splendor upon tho scene, illuminating it with
Uooda of silver light. No one could be seen

other, be reguined. bis sell-possession.
Where were tbe enemy I pot one waa in

that thoy were not far away, and were a

driven is tbe pickets, out so pescoiui auu
quiet was the scene that Luke was about

Th regular tramp of feet could bo beard

a voice which wa a little unsteady itself,
but which bad within it th ring of deter

partial surprise, tuey una uwmra m

Sleep was a atranger to the eyes of the
new soldiors tho remainder of that night.
When morning came not a sign oi an enemy
oould be found. It waa the general belief
that tho opposing force would ronew th
battle at daylight, but when it came they
irero many miles away, ana ouiy mo uuudv
shattered oaks and fences remained to tell
that a conflict had raged there but a few
hours before. , ,
The reoruits, elated at their victory,
seemed to have suddenly developed into
veterans. In their enthusiasm they wanted
to be led at once against Lexington, which
Price was supposed to be investing with a
force variously cstimuted at from twenty to
one hundred thousand men.
The recruit wero again in a turmoil for
the lack of a leader. Two days wero spent
to trying to devise some general mode of
action. Luke, disgusted with a military
organization which seemed no Btronger
than a rop of sand, was half lnollnod to
desert and seek tho servioe of bis country
elsewhere.
Thoy were constantly threatening to
break up and go off in different directions,
each company to itself. Nothing but the
knowledge that prowling baud of Confed
erate (warmed everywhere held them to
gether at Sagget On the evening oi toe
third day a man mounted on a jaded bora
rod into camp with tn startling uieiu
genco that Lexington had fallen on the 20th
of September, the day before.
All ho do of reaching Mxington was
abandoned, and without any leader the
army was in a deplorable condition. Bur
rounded by th enemy, out off from friend
and convulsed with Internal strife, their
ooodltioa wa somewhat precarious.
Bom wanted to go to St Louis, other to
Springfield, and another day wa spent at
Bagget arguing wuca course) uey snouiu
tax, when a messenger cam with orders
front omowbero for thsm to novo to Cairo.
That of oourse, settled their destination,
hnttharatraro sxanr minor details to be
consulted la regard to th march. Captain
Smart a till bad nominal command of th
force, but his authority wa llnbl to b
usurped at any time.
$j pressing into servfco such teams a
oould bo found, they managed to organlx a
email baggage trala and pvoparwd for tb
march, Luk' voluntary suggestions to a
great extent helped to pour oil on tbo
troubled water, and brought blm into th
favorabl notice of hi superiors.
At last th march wa begun, and to
Luke's astonishment, a well aa delight, b
found that their course took thorn down th
road which led pastMr. Neffs farm-house.
Tho whole country wa wild wiw aiarm,
and they frequently found farm-bouses de
serted. Those deserved homes wero plun
dered by th recruit, who seemed to hav
n ideas ot war abov that of pillagav Cap
tain Smart and many other did all they
oould to prevent pluuiier and intuit, but a
ad lack of military discipline rendered
them sowerles.
