MY CHILDHOOD'S HOME.
BY FLORA B. PULL EM.
Well, yea 'tis true, that I at hut
Must leave the dear old home,
The hallowed spot, the cherished place,
Willi other forum to Mam.
Though Oceana should, from me divide
My childhood' happy home,
There'8 mine on earth more dear to nie,
Than the place I've alwaya known.
And should I ne'er hehold again,
I la old and stately trees,
I'll ne'er furget their cooling shade
In the quiet evening tirccxe.
My sisters may, perhaps, fuiyet
Me, 'mid their tolls and cares
But may my name steal softly in,
To them in midnight prayers.
My brother's young and fragile form
I I Ik mother s tvntc hftil care,
Will la I fear, neglected now
That she Is no more there!
Oh, mother, If In yonder skies
Thou cans't protect thy aon,
Keep him. dear mother, from the cup,
That leads to endless ruin,
m
My father's aged and feeble steps
( l'er)uiis more felt than shown)
Must lciul him, where in days gone hy,
He did not think to own.
Hi llcctliiiis of our nclglilsirn, list,
And friends 1 hold most dear
Will uncii, often visit me,
In every iwiwlng year.
But should there he a space, wherein
My name should have a Ihounlit,
May (lisl supply the vacant place ;
l or the gone are soon forgot.

Anil another's love my bliss
Aid and protect us, day by day,
To shun a change like tills.

Duko laughed.

But one day, in blossomy May, Colonel
Vavason's card was brought up to Miss
Leslie.
Cora was preparing to go out with
Miss Duchesne for a drive. She was full
of bright happiness that morning, and
eveu Miss Duchesne breathed more freely,

and finally wedded a young lieutenant of

he stood there in the boudoir, where ho

But Cora was lovelier' than ever. As
he looked at her he marvelled that he

ELECTRIFIED LIQUOR.
How Whiskey May be Cilvcn Age Within
a Few Hours.
From Sun Francisco Chrorlclc.
The latest and certainly the strangest
use to which elect lieity has been put is to
a process of "giving age" to whiskey and
wi'ics. It is the discovery of a Ci'li.oriiian,
who has succeeded in gettiit'i palen.s from
the dated States, and has at the same
time interested the internal revenue com
missioner to such an extent that special
privileges to experiment with bonded whis
key have' been accorded him. A
series of trials are being conducted at a
autre on Washimrton street, lietween Mont
gomery and Saiisome, under the superx-'"-ion
of a tletmtv revenue collector. The
process in ((tiestion is exceedingly simple,
ami, it all is true that is claimed tor u, u
will revolutionize the li(Uorandw'netrade.
It is in i, lung muje than a quici: and cneap
method of refining, that being dune in
from twelve to forty-eight hours, which
formerly reiiuired years to accomplish.
Two blocks ofetirboii wrapped np in
flannel are inserted in the liquor to bo puri
fied, and and these carbons are connected
wilh t'.ie positive and negative 'Miles of an
ordinary Brush electric machine. "' Klec
trieity is then generated by the usual means
and the process ot puiilication and rcnniiig
proceeds. The chemical action upon the
liquor is such that all impurities are attrac
t d to the negative carl on-tovirin;: flan
nel. The excess of fusel oil also finds
lodgment here, und when the cloth is re
moved, it lisiks as if it had been steeped
for a day and a year in Tar Flat brine. It
is asserted thjit the liquor does not haw
pnsif during the process. Light win -s re
quire alMiut two hours of this electric
churning; fortified wines are rendered mel
low in twelve hours, and the hardest and
deadliest sample of alcoholic dis.illation is

A handsome young widow, well known
in society crcles, who is not so rich as she

win her is to offer a fine house, horse and
carriage, with plenty of money to keep
them up,
A daik-eyefl girl wilh a tangle of soft

knows one case where a widower went in
and hung up his hat announcing his in
tent'on of remaining un.il he was accept eo.
and the girl had to marry him to get rid of

vous about the result.
One sweet, dreamy -eyed girl, who is just
on the threshold of society, says: "Love

"skirmishing," it only gets one wrought up
for the "frays," nothing is accomplished,
and it requires all fine's nervous force to
endure a "campaign" of this nature, to
say nothing of the mortification of several
"defeats."
A handsome youtRfitl looking matron,

sufficiently well endowed with this world's

young man should, by all means, make his

The monkey is not a fool certainly not
a "fool of the greatest size," as Christiana
would sey. In fables it is often the butt
of o.jer creatures, but it is its uiquisuive-

its f.illw. The isats describe it as half an

Apropos of the lost Coii feder.it e funds,
let mo tell you a little story which, in ad
dition to its interesting cliaraeier, is s:t"et
Iv true. Tn December. ISli-l, a Very swift
and light blockade runner was captured off
Wilmington, N. C. It had b.'en built for
tho purpose of running dr.igs and medi
cines into the Confederacy, and had made
a great many siii-cessi'ti! trips, when, by a
concatenation of oireuiiistauces and acc'
dents, one fogey morning in December,
she found herself u !nu' way outside of
her intended course, and within .HID yi" 'ds
of two I ntted Slates cruisers, wlw imme
diately captured lit r without a struggle or
any injury to the beautiful prize. Ona of
the oiliei rs who was pres.' it at her cap
ture told me that he Uau irvor seen in
any shape, such a com'iinat'aui of gvaoe
and swiftness She was con leimied and
sold in New York on or about the 10 h
day of February. V.'.ti'i. Four men be
came her owners, three of whom nr dead
and ono is living. They had her ma
chinery very carefully overhauled,' every
thing put in thoroughly good concit'on,
and selected a captain, who was kuown to
them all, not only as a thorough seaman,
but as a man who could and would keep a
still tonotie. Uo was directed to coal up,
proceed to Halifax ami tli'.'rc await orders.
When he received a dispatch, he said, it
meant th: t he was to start for Liverpool
and go as fast steam and wind coual take
him. and it was estimated that lie would
make the run in about three and a fourth
days. Ho was given sealed orders und
told that he would be instructed by tele
graph when to open them, lie sailed for
Halifax Feb. 1H, ISlif). The confederacy
was then in its death throes. Hoods
army had been driven out of Tennes-ee,
with great loss of life. Its destitution
was fearful. Men were starving and
dying for want of food and clothing Gen
erals of brigades, were ball' clad and wear-in-'
shoes and boots taken from dead
Union soldiers' feet. How tliey 1'ved
through it all is only known to them and
God. It was a time that men w'.io lived
throuch it can never foriret. Thu- com
rades' faces were gaunt and haggard with
nrivatioii. and men had iif their eyes the
look o I' those whom huncer has almost
made mad. Yet how these men fought,
Fiankhn and Duck liiver w ll bear wit
ness. There was no word of surrender
mnid all this starvation and death. They
perlcrrcd to fight, for in the tents of their
enemies they lound lood ; and tuej at
tacked whenever they could with the
courage of trained soldiers andt.ie fear
lessness of madmen. Never was there
s.'on such magnificent contempt for death.
I 's iirniv was in almost a d-stitu'e con
dition, and any day might be is last.
Time went on. February passed away
in, then M nc i. an, the waitinc captain
