GOD BLESS THE VOLUNTEERS. 
BY KATK CAWKRoy 
They have gone forth from our firesides, 
Followed by our hopes and fears, 
While the burden of our prayer is, 
“ May God bless the Volunteers! ” 
And wherever doty calls them, _ 
May He be tbelr guide and shield. 
To watch o’er their onward pathway, 
And protect them in the field. 
They have gone forth to the battle 
For the Truth and for the Riftht; 
■Gainst the mighty host* of Error 
To maintain a valiant light, 
And they bear the named banner 
’Neath whose fold* our Fathers bled, 
* The same stripes are brightly blended. 
The same stars shine overhead. 
They have gone forth with our blessing, 
And left lonely hearts behind, 
Rut beyond long months of absence 
Better days we hope to find, 
When their foot steps homeward turning, 
We shall welcome them once more, 
Laden with their well earned laurels, 
Telling all their conquests o’er.

limbs would carry her. Bhe found this street led 
quite away from the city, to the river bank, where 
rows of pleasant though humble cottages extended, 
and she cried tears of joy, so much did they remind 
her of her own sunny France, with their trcllised 
porches and vine-clad windows. Through the little 
Here, in this bumble dwelling, she remained secure 
and peaceful, and da.vs occupied by her lessons and 
painting, sped swiftly away,—even months passed, 
and the warm southern sun was wooing the buds 
again to blossom. Aline bad often heard Dame 
Marguerite talk of her sailor-boy,—a son older than 
be on such an occasion, and, possibly, somewhat 
under the control of his own momentum, struck 
Kelley’s perpendicular leg while the other was 
walking, and knocked it out from under him. My 
frieud went down instanter. His glossy heaver 
bounced upon the pavement, and continued its 
journey. Spectacles danced, jingling into the gut¬ 
ter, while his shawl struck against a shopman’s 
window like a paper pellet on a wall. 
Kelley gathered himself together, picked himself 
up, and looked after the dog who had done the mis¬ 
chief, expecting to find him "hove to” in canine 
dismay at the accident he had caused; but, to his 
utter astonishment, the animal seemed as regardless 
of his equilibrium as of any other trivial matter, and 
was making after the aforesaid yellow dog at as great 
speed as though he had not tipped over the best 
fellow in Wisconsin. 
While my friend was down, a clear, musical, girlish 
laugh had rung out upon the air. It was so evidently 
spontaneous, so charmingly musical, was so suddenly 
checked, and had withal so good a cause, that Kel¬ 
ley could scarcely be angry or even disconcerted. 
When the gentleman had recovered from his sur¬ 
prise at the heedlessness of the quadruped, he be¬ 
thought him of the music. There were half a dozen 
ladies in view; bnt by a trigonometrical calculation 
be reached the conclusion that the laugh must have 
come from either a dainty little blue hat with deli¬ 
cate, straw-colored trimmings, or a decidedly sober 
and ancient brown one the two being in Junction. 
Of course he fastened upon the blue hat; for never 
si' ce the flood did a yrave, unfashionable bonnet, 
give out such gushing laughter as that. 
Kelley was not a city gentleman — not he. He 
was a squire in a rural town, a leader of town affairs. 
A man of mark, to whom the village politicians 
looked for shrewdest counsel, on whom abused peo¬ 
ple looked for advice and redress, in whose hands 
friendless widows put the management of their scanty 
estates, Bure that all would be done for them and the 
little orphans lhat tact, fidelity, and a warm heart 
could accomplish. 
The blue hat was a city hat, and the brown hair it 
covered, togeuhe with the hazel eyes that sparkled 
iu front of it, were of city growth. Bnt the sober, 
brown bonnet was a rural affair, and the lady under 
it was a rural aunt of good dimensions, both in per¬ 
son and heart. Before the catastrophe which brought 
out the laughter, the aunt was listening attentively to 
the little lady’s very eager request that she would try 
" In the public schools, sir.” 
"Did you graduate?” 
"Yes, sir.” 
“ May I look at your diploma?” 
The lady handed a roll tied with a blue ribbon. 
Kelley tried bard to untie it, but soon got the 
knot in a very bad fix. The pretty fingers of the 
blue hat were called into requisition, and the knot 
was conquered close before him tinder his eyes. 
Opening the roll — 
"Mary Denver! Is that yonr name?” 
"Yes, sir.” 
"Your father’s name?” 
" Charles.” 
“ Merchant ?” 
"Yes, sir.” 
"Why, I was clerk in his store when you were a 
child. He was the noblest employer I ever had; 
made me all T am. I mean that he made me upright 
— for that is all I am, anyway.” 
Kelley promised her a certificate — said he would 
bring it over the next day; which he did. 
During the whole term he was very faithful in 
official visits to the school; and just before the close 
of the session, my friend said — 
"Mary, I wouldn’t teach any more.” 
" 0,1 must. 1 like it; and besides, I hav’nt accom¬ 
plished half I want to, yet,” 
" What do you want to accomplish?” 
" I want to continue ray music.” 
"What else?” 
"I want to clothe Minnie.” 
" What else?” 
"I want to feel that T am useful, that I am doing 
something.” 
" I want to hire you, Mary; and will pay you 
wages that will enable you to do all this.” 
"Yon want to hire me! What can I do for you?” 
“ Keep ray house, and be my wife, Mary.” And 
then the Town Superintendent got his arm around 
Mary’S waist and held her tight, though she strug¬ 
gled a little at first. 
" Let me go a minute, and I will tell you.” 
He released the little figure, and Mary stood before 
him, trembling, blushing, twining the strings of the 
blue hat around her fingers, looking down upon the 
floor, glancing once into his earnest eyes, her breast 
rising and falling till the cameo swayed like a ship 
upon billows. 
"Do you love me?” 
"With my whole soul.” 
" Did you ever love anybody else?” 
"Never, in all my life.” 
"Can a little girl like me” —looking earnestly in 
his face — " can u little girl like me, devoted, loving 
jVbucvtisements.

for their supper. Pho thought how her Minna, who name, " Aline Dunois,” remarking,—" I have heard 
lav in tbe little churchyard in her native land, might, of you, 1 am sure." Alter a few momenta reflection 
had she lived, been thus thrown Upon a cold world, 
friendless and alone; and her heart warmed with 
pity for the poor orphan, and she bade her be happy 
and contented, for she should have a home with her 
until she found employment or friends. Grateful 
and relieved by this kindness, Aline experienced 
new feelings of peace and joy, and soon, seated at 
the little supper table, felt quite at home with these 
two new friends. She ate with a hearty relish, and 
laughed like her own self before many minutes had 
passed. 
After the meal, attired in one of the dame’s chintz 
wrappers, large enough for two of Aline’s size, and 
a pair of her stout shoes,—her feet quite swollen,— 
Bhe rested upon the lounge, the mother and son en¬ 
deavoring to interest and amuse her. Spying a 
guitar in the corner, she asked Jean if lie could 
play. Ik* blushed, and awkwardly denied any skill, 
when his mother bade him try and sing one of her 
favorite songs. After*tuning the instrument, he 
played several little airs familiar among Southrons, 
and then, striking a few chords, sang a French mel-

M. Pkrrink; but how came you here?” Startled 
and assayed to hear this stranger speak so familiarly 
of her dear uncle and of herself, she questioned Mm 
as to how he knew who sho was. lie told her he had 
sailed many a voyage with her uncle, and that on his 
return trip they had both been attacked with the 
same illness, and left with many others upon an 
island. M. Perkine had lain in a dying condition 
many days, hut his life was spared to him, and ho had 
spent months in his chamber before he was allowed 
to walk abroad, and that he had just left the island 
to come to America, a month before. Robin had 
stayed there until the packet he sailed with stopped 
at the island, and was there two or three days after 
M. Pehki.se left. 
Greatly agitated by these tidings, Aline knew not

The brown bonnet caught the girl’s enthusiasm, 
and promised. 
You must have known, reader, from tho brief de¬ 
scription of my friend Kelley, that he was the Town 
School Superintendent. Who else was so well quali¬ 
fied to look after the interests of the public schools? 
One morning, at six o’clock,— my friend rises at 
five, and has a good fire in his office, and an appe¬ 
tite for breakfast at six,—a rap fell upon the outer 
door. Kelley rose and opened it. 
“Good morning ladies! walk iu.”

Eds. Rcral New Yorker: — Having seen a question in the 
Rural, some time since, to the following import:— “Where 
does the river Cassaquaire rise, which way does it run, and 
where doe4 it empty," I found it to be a natural .paradox, and 
having no knowledge of it at the time, 1 hunted up all the 
light possible, and taking advantage of its re issue, I will give 
the result of ray inwitigallons In the Plains of Kiuei-alda,
