’Twah a long pine box with un ink-marked lid, 
Coarw 1 ! and heavy, and plain; 
In the depot’* gloom, it wo* almost hid 
Uy the piled np freight, that would quite forhid 
My way to the midnight tram. 
It looked like a hundred I'd immid before, 
Filled with their stranger freight;

My eyes till—1 faltered, and read no more, 
For it crushed me like a weight. 
And now, through my tears, what u change there came 
O’er the depot’s noisy gloom, 
For the roar wan hushed, and the place became 
As bright as the day, for a form of flame 
Stood forth in the dusky room 
White robed and bright, and girded with sieel, 
With starry flag in hand, 
And my sight endow'd as you break a seal, 
While I heard the thundering cannon peal 
That wakened the trembling laud 
With the roar and shout of the battle uny, 
The crash and scream of fight; 
And I saw the wreck of the mingled fray, 
And thousands fall on their mother day, 
Unwept by the stars that night. 
And one ’inong the dead from his mountain home, 
Bravest among them ail, 
With his face upturned to the starlit dome, 
On the dark hill top when the night hnd corac, 
Where the sunset saw biro fail. 
And afar, by an open cottage door 
A weeping mother stood. 
And kissed her babe, while the skies ran gore, 
As the daylight fled all the long hills o'er, 
And darkness crept Utrough the wood 
I woke from my dream as the clanging bed 
And ms lung train went by, 
While loudly again on my car there fell 
The hissing of steam, Ule roar, the yell, 
And the freight pile met my eye 
But I knew there were War filled eyes that night, 
, Dim for a lovod one dead, 
And I cried, “Go» comfort and bring them light,” 
As I entered the train, and passed from sight,

Ills. FORSTER’S BOARDERS. 
\ 
H Y EMILY HUNTINGTON MILL KB. 
“ f/v we mast board all mimmer, then let us 
o to Mrs. Forster’S,” wud T. “ Her house is 
fiiet and hhttdy. and there will be plenty of 
oom for the children to play without going into 
lie street.” 
i « jugtthe place,” said Timothy. “ Italways 
ufrosheft me to look at the old lady; everything 
,l)out her bus a breezy look, and then it is a j stairs in the pink chamber with the little room 
meat thing to find a family where there are no 
ither hoarders.” 
Ho it was settled that while we wore compelled 
for her part, would have heartily enjoyed mana¬ 
ging the affairs of half the nation; but then she 
knew it couldn’t he helped, and after a few 
years of vigorous attempts at helping it, she 
gave it up with the very philosophical re¬ 
mark that. “there’s odds in folks as well as in 
things,” and thenceforth ignored her spoase, hi 
all practical purposes. It. was Mrs. Forster 
who had rented us the most rooms and taken us 
to board, wisely deciding that it was foolish for 
two lone women and an old mail to live iu Unit 
hig bouse with half the rooms shut up. Her 
scheming did not stop here, for no sooner wore 
we fairly settled than she began to eonsjdor that 
she had abundant accomodations for more. 
We were sitting at the dinner table, patiently 
waiting while Mrs. FORSTf.r clumsily carved 
the roast, heel. 
o Well, Mrs. Jenkins,” began our hostess, 
“ i reckon you’ll have some company before 
long. You see. rny son’s wife up to Hnipesville 
has always been at me to take summer boarders 
from the city. T concluded as long as we’d 
began we might just as well have a bouse full. 
’T’aint much more fuss for us. long ;u> we don’t 
furnish the rooms, and then I always did like to 
see a table full of folks; may’he it’s because 1 
was brought, up in a torrent.” 
“Have you engaged any one yet?” 1 asked, 
faintly, my heart sinking at the prospect. 
“ Well, you see,” said Mix. Forhtkr with a 
great deal of satisfaction, “ I left it all to’Lisii a’h 
wife. She’s a master hand for business, and its 
lucky she is, for ’Lihha’h for all the world tike 
his father—always poking round with a book. 
I mind when he wu* at home he couldn’t go out 
plowing hut he must have the dietiouary or 
something along, and how he ever managed to 
get such a smart girl as Martha Lee 1 can't 
contrive, though ’Libha ain't bad looking when 
lie’s fixed up-” 
“ But about the hoarders, Mrs. Forhtkr,” 
mildly interposed Timothy. 
“ Oh, yes; well, as l was saying, T left it all to 
Martha, and this morning 1 got a letter saying 
she’d engaged boarders for all but number 10. 
Numtww 10 is in the front attic with the win¬ 
dows into the roof.” 
“ And how many will that be?” asked Tim¬ 
othy again, with a grim smile at my discom¬ 
fited countenance, as T savagely carved little 
Clara’s dinner into mince meat. 
“ Lot me see,” said Mrs. Forster, fumbling 
in her pockets; I’ve got the letter somo- 
wbereft uow. There’s Miss J’endi eton and 
her three children; she’s some kin to MartIIA, 
and her man’s gone for a soldier, so she don’t 
Want to keep house alone. They're going to have 
the west rooms the mates to your’n. so you’ll 
he quih' neighbor*. Then there’* Almira 
Wood# and her nephew. She’s an old maid 
that live* near Martha, and her nephew is 
lame can’t walk a step, and he’s sickly besides, 
but he’s til! the kin s(lie’s got. and they want, to go 
into the country f". his health. They'll be up 
to wait for the completion of our new bouse wo 
should take up our temporary abode with Mrs. 
Forster. Only for a few month*, we thought 
as we surveyed our new quarters, looking rue* 
fully at the wide margin of bare floor that sur¬ 
rounded our little parlor carpet, making it look 
like an island in the oqettn. 
“ What a funny bedstead,” said little Clara ; 
“ it’H got steeples to it: and voe’i high windows, 
mamma, 1 don’t think it'- a hit nice here.” 
••I do,” said Moftter Harry; “there’s an 
orchard, with the best trees to climb you ever 
saw, and a barn as big as the meeting house. 
I’ve been all over it, and there’s a pigeon’s m*t 
on the beam under the eaves.” 
« Don’t you ever go Into the barn again,” it 
w;ts on my tongue to say, but remembering 
that the summer was long, that 'Roys have ,i 
natural talent for running incredible risks, and 
Dmt a good writer assert* that Providence 
always lakes care of them if people don’t inter- 
fen’, I contented myself bv saying, “ Be careful, 
Harry, and keep away from dangerous places.” 
“ Yes, ma’am,” said the hoy, readily, by 
which lie "imply meant that he would not go 
where he found It. impossible to get by dint of 
Strength and ingenuity. That is wbai boys 
always mean by such promises. 
We had’ been in the family about a week, bad 
become accustomed to the little oddities that 
somewhat, annoyed us at first,, and were promis¬ 
ing ourselves u} delightful summer. The house 
was one of those great old-fashioned castle# that 
were a common style when “ largencfts of heart” 
was loss a proverbial thing tlian now, and when 
a man reared his domicile with :i view not only 
to the needs of his own household, but to the 
boundless hospitality he expected to dispense. 
Broad hall* ran compiotely through it in both 
storifss, tin' rooms were numerous and many Of 
thorn altogether too large for modern taste, 
while on the outside a porch, or “stoop,” us they 
called it, with a heavy roof and clumsy wooden 
pillars, shad'd three -ides of the building. Mrs. 
FoRHTEK’ 8 lather lwd in some way come, into 
possession of the place and hud “ /cep teiam” 
there, for many a year, a- a great wooden sign, 
which the children dragge<J out of the dust and 
cobwebs in the garret, testified. After Ins death 
it passed into the hands of his daughter, Sally, 
who still lived Here in a quiet way with her 
adopted daughter, JIi.ttmc Watkins, and her 
husband, Joherh Forhtku. 1 mention her 
husband last, a* the least in Importance, for by 
common consent lie seemed to he so considered. 
In fact, I have oft* n notieod that when a man is 
habitually snubbed at, JiOiue heisalways snubbed 
by the. whole community, so you might have 
lived in the village for yearn and never guessed 
that good Mrs. Form eh was not a widow. 
It was a great gni f to her that JOHIU’U was 
disposed to take th< world so quietly, while she 
in a private boarding house 
compelled to be intimate with 
back of it. That’s all she wrote about, but 
Want some nice young mail for Number 10.” 
“Well,” slid Timothy, inquiringly, when 
we were alone in our room after dinner, “ The 
hcM laid ttchem >. you know, my dear.” 
“ Wi can’t stay here, that’s certain,” said I. 
“ Do you suppose 1 am going to have Harry 
running all summer with a couple of low-bred 
oifw boys, not to speak of our own comfort, and 
so far a* that is concerned 1 would sooner board 
at a hotel where ppople expect to live as 
strangers, thuu 
where you un* 
every one.” 
Timothy dusted hi- hat reflectively with his 
handkerchief and then plflood It carefully on liis 
hea<l, saying, “ I really <ion’t see hut we shall 
have, to stay. There is no other place in town 
where we can find accomodations, and after all 
we may find these people agreeable. The Lee’S 
arc very respectably connected, and this Mrs. 
Pendleton may very likely be distressed at 
the idea of having her boys associate with au 
uncouth country t*oy like Harry.” 
Timothy laughed at the indignant defence of 
Harry that sprang to my Him., and carelessly 
saying, “Well, 1 must be off; don't worry over 
what you can’t help, my dear,” lie passed out of 
the. gate, whistling “ Brave boys are they.” 
What a comfort it must be to men to whistle. 
Its the only privilege J envy them; it must, serve 
to blow away so many miserable sensation^that 
we women have to keep pent up in us. Hinging 
won’t, answer the. same purpose. The moment 
you sing you begin to oppress sentiment, some¬ 
thing that, somebody else has thought or felt; 
but. whistling is simply a letting off of stoam 
opening a* escape-valve for core and trouble. 
The result of it ;UJ was that we staid at Mrs. 
FoRftTKR’S, and ill the course of a lew weeks the 
other boarders made their appearance. Mrs. 
Pendleton was a handsome woman, lady-iike 
and refined In her manner*, with two mischiev¬ 
ous-looking boys, a little older than Harry, and 
a sweet baby of a few months, for whom she. 
brought a colored uurse. 
Miss Woods appeared lei be about, thirty-live, 
and was, as Timothy declared, “eminently 
homely.” She was tall, large-boned, and gaunt, 
with strongly marked features, reddish hair, anil 
a pair of keen gray eyes. The lame nephew was 
a delicate boy of sixteen, whom she seemed to 
cherish with an idolizing affection. 
ICven the “ dice young man for Number 10” 
was not long wanting: a young fellow without 
any apparent oocupulion, unless it was making a 
collection of misee.llaneous specimens -geological, 
botanical and entomological, which he vigorously 
followed day after day. 
“ You ought to see his room, Miss Jenkins,” 
said Mrs. Forhtkr, one day. “ He’s got a lot of 
shelves fixed up, all full of bits of gravestone and 
common looking roeks, and lots of butterflies and 
beetln-bugH, and a gneut. black and yaller spider 
in a bottle. I can’t see what he wants with such 
pizeu-looking things unless he’s a secesh.” 
A few weeks afterward she came bustling into 
myroom in great excitement, and begged me to 
come up to Number 10. 1 followed her to the 
attic, and found myself in a pleasant room, 
lighted by two dormer window* that commanded 
a rare sweep of beautiful landscape with a bit of 
blue sea in the distance. Ujx>n the walls were a 
number of simple frames containing dried speci¬ 
mens of flower* and ferns, so well preserved 
and so artistically arranged as to have all the 
effect of exquisite painting*, while the hanging 
shelve* were loaded with minerals, some of t hem 
the familiar marble*, quartz and granitc^f our 
own vicinity, hut others of rare beauty that 
made me say to myself, “ He lias boon at the 
South—those came from Tennessee.” All this 
was taken in at a glance, and at the same time I 
was conscious of a curious sort of whirring noise, 
and heard Mr*. Forster's energetic voice 
exclaiming, 
“There, Miss Jenkins, just look here. I’ve 
always said that follow was a secesh, and now 
I'rn satisfied; for it don’t stand to reason that a 
young man who growed up in a Christian coun¬ 
try, could take pleasure in tormenting helpless 
bisekx that way.” 
I don't think I am less tender-hearted than the 
majority of iny sisterhood, hut I will confess 
that I was moved to laughter by what. I saw 
upon the table. The young man had made a 
prize of a couple of very large, locusts; had 
killed them, as he gtipiKised, by the application 
of a preparation of ether which stood on the 
table, an<l then fastened them, by means of long 
needles, to a piece of card-board to dry. In 
course of time the locust* had revived, no doubt 
greatly refreshed by their nap, hail worked 
themselves loose from tile board, and were 
marching solemnly about with the long needles 
still Impaling them. They did not seem to saif- 
fer, except from some inconvenience of motion, 
and their great wooden-looking .heads, anti 
ungainly bodies, had a really comical appear¬ 
ance. I saw the state of the ease at once, and 1 
am sorry to say 1 laughed. 
•* l don’t see what sport you can find in seeing 
your feller erectur* suffer,” said Mrs. Fohhtkk, 
indignantly. “ I’d take them things out of ’em 
if 1 durst to touch ’em, but I can’t bring myself 
to do it. I’ve heard your husband say you 
wasn’t afraid of spiders, and I thought maybe 
you wouldn’t mind putting these loousses out. of 
their misery.” 
“ What do you want me to do,” said I, trying 
to be gTave; “shall I kill them?” 
“ Mercy, no,” Raid she; “Just pull them darn¬ 
ing needle* out of ’em, and put ’em out the 
window.” 
A hearty laugh behind us at this moment roused 
us both to the fact that we were intruding upon a 
private apartment, and were fairly caught in the 
act,-- for there stood the unfortunate “secesh,” 
his broad-brlnuncd Panama iitone hand, and a 
charming bunch of wild flowers in the other. 
I didn’t fie I equal to any explanations, and it 
was evident he had seen and heard enough to 
understand the situation of affairs. Mrs, Fors¬ 
ter, in no wuy daunted, bravely attacked him 
on his inhuman cruelty, but while listening to 
her in respectful silence, he quietly touched the 
noisy insects with a little camel’s-httir brush, 
and they were dead in an instant

Of e/iurso, tlie great topic of our tablo-talk was 
the war, and it wan a little curious to see how 
differently the various member* of the family 
were affected by everything growing out of It. 
I really think Mr*. Foum ku enjoyed the war.

dreadful to see. She made no answer to my
