My
Sisters' Sweethearts
! and Mine.
A I Tale of tlie American "Wat.
.BY A C. S. "OUTLAW."
I doubt if there was a happier boy
in Old Virginia than rayseli before the
war fever broke out. My father had
large plantation in the south-west
corner of the State, and his mansion
and grounds$could scarcely be match
ed for beauty and comfort, even in
England itself, I was a student at the
Naval College, ahd when the holidays
came, and I rushed down to the depot
and found myself seated in the cars
tearing along the roads towards home,
if I wasn't happy you may call me a
'coon and shoot me, that's! all. j
My ! wasn't it jolly when I arrived,
to see my pretty cousin Mamie, and
my sisters Hattie and Ruby, waiting
for me at, the depot? And : when I
put my head out of the car,' and cried
"Bully boys, Oht Here I am,
TtleunyfiuViii'4.Ul.f .a.hu?.nngJMdi
ing aud kissing, and a few loud
sriiles, that seat the squirrels skedad
dling through the woods in a fright
then my name is not Charlie Douglas,
and I am not a sr awn man.
Ah! those were happy times; and
in these changed days, when. the Yan
kees have whipt us, and the Confed
eracy is caved iii, they'll scarcely bear
thinking about, and that's a fact.
I never anticipated suck a sudden
and overwhelming termination to the
war. And it is galling indeed now to
revert to all the victories and gallant
fights of the four years of war, after
such an end. All the brave blood
pilt in vain, all the bitter tears shed,'
all the sorrowful partings, all this
ruin, and pain, and death, oaly to
bring back Yankee lule, and cement
the union we strove to rend. My
boast has alwavs been that to be a
Confederate was better than to be a
king; and it is this same pride of mine
which can't be reconciled. I have re
nouLced America no, the United
States, and what werettbe Confeder
ate States for ever. I shall never
enter them again, unless as the citizen
of some other country At present I
belong to none, and the Yankees term
me an outlaw Well, I glory in the
name, so long as they do not apply i
to themselves, and I will remain so to
them as long as I live. laving said
which, I feel better, and will try to
go on with my story.
Of course my pretty little cousin
Mamie was my sweetheart. I cal
her cousin by the by, but in reality she
was no cousin at all, for her mbther
was only 'my uncle's widow, "and
when he died, she being very young
married again; but as Aye liked her
very much, we continued to call her
aunt, and we looked upon her children
asjcousins. ,
I jdou't qiiite know -when I first Tel
in love with Mamie, but I jratheir think
ii ' was one day when she was ; abou
three years old, and saw her. seated
by the side of a great bowl ofWtterj
milt, among a crowd of little darkies
dipping her crust in iamong the rest,
and laughing to the whole' extent of
her' rosy mouth. When we grew oldi
er, we went to school) together, and I
always carried her sitchel, and told
her her lessons when she did not know
Them, jwhich I bm sorry to say was
very often. Aad how often for that

girls their lessons! got "ruled," I

won't attempt to say.
Now Matnie had a brother
a good
deal older jthan herself, who
was in
the U. S. Navy, and it was. the sight
f his uniform, the glory of the gold
lace and sword, that tempted me to
enter .the Naval College. There of
course I worked like" a nigeer', as we
all do. when! we are at College; and I
vras just going to get my commission,
vrhen my father sent for me to tome

Mercy; alive! how my father did
grip my hand ftd shake it! , I thought

I ran on through tte grounds, up
setting the little darkies in my way,

'How are you, my son?'
Mother,'j I said, you had better
make much of me. You won't have

Well, I never heard any jscreech-

pat me on the back, and cracked up,
until I was obliged to pretend to get
mad; in order to make the girls va
moose fbr a while, and give me the
chance of a quiet chat with mother.
The dear old lady was in tears. 'I
always knew you were my own boy,'
she said, as she took my hand.
'Mother, you surely couldn't think
should draw my sword against old
lrgmny; i answered, imow, ten
me, what are Phil Springfield and
Ehck Boyle going to do?'
'We can't tell;" said my mother;
we have not heard from themyet.'
'And if they stick to the Yankees?
asked.
Then, I am quite sure your sisters
will never speak to them again."
'Of course they won't,' I replied,
'but I think I can answer for Phil.

Mamie's brother will never be sneak
enough to turn Yankee:
'Who has said so? " I should be glad
to know!' cried a voice at the door,
and there stood Mamie herself, blush
ing rosy red with anger, while her
eyes flashed and her whole face spar
kled and gleamed with beautiful in
dignation. " '
'No one has said so, Mamie dear,'
exclaimed my mother, kwe all have

Upon this Mamie sat ;down appeas

'Well, good-for-nothing,' said Ma

in the sun to see you? It will be your
turn to-morrow: and then I shall ex

'Mamie, I am going away to-night
to join the army, and heaven knows

Ah, me! how the roses faded out

was mighty pleasant too, and the day
came when I looked back to that hour,
and reckoned it' among" the good times
or my lot. ;! i
Of what rise is it to talk of parting.
We told each other good-bye with the
usual amount r promises, and, elated
and enthusiastic as we all weje, there
was less sadness in my departure than
when I had gone off quietly to college
in the old days of peace. i ! ; ' 1 '
I Tell Phil SpringGeld for me,' said
Hattie,- with a glowing face f that I

Then Ruby puckered up her pret

and begged me to inform Dick Boyle,

trouble himself to come again to the

The Jacksonport Herald and Bates
ville Times haye lengthy accounts of
the capture and imprisonment for six
years of Mr. H. H. Lee, a.cousin of
Gen. R. E. Lee, and formed? a citi
zen of Madison, Arkansas. In No

Memphis on a charge
in Confederate monev.
of speculating
put in the Ir-
ving block for one hight and then
shipped for Camp DoulasJ in Illinois.
Arriving therq the jofilcer "refused to
receive him because there was no law
for speculating in money of any kind.
TheXieutenant having him in charge
accompanied Tjyser enrguttroaiaL
went to Milwaukee, Wis., and were
going to put Lee in jail (of safe keep
ing until they could have a spree,
About this time Lee anil . one of his
guards who accompanied him escaped,
but were soon recaptured. Mr. Lee
was then imprisoned in Milwaukee
jail, and kept in close confinement for
two and a half years without a trial.
At the end of that tirjie he was taken
out and sentenced without a trial to
four years' imprisonment; in the State
Prison, ; at Madison,
Wis. . During
these lour years he was not allowed
to write to his friends
or read a book
or newspaper of any
kind, but ivas
effectively excluded from , the world.
During this time his health was good

to Cincinnati, where he heard that
his wife jw&s'dead, and he could bear
nothing of his child. From there he
went to Memphis, where he wa$ re

the deadj and learne6j;the joyful news
that his wife and child, the latter a
grown young lady, were both living,
and at Batesville. The telegraph
was used in announcing to his wife
his safety, and statiuk that he would
meet them in Jacksonport on the I2tb.
Says the Jletald:
,'They met, , and such a meeting as
it was never occurred within our
knowledge. The jay of the wife at
the sight of her restored husband yras

' IIUTA BAG A CULTURE.
YourlCentucky correspondent wants
to knoy the best way to raise Ruta
Bagas o Swede turnips. I give our
plan.. Sow the seed ! in (the garden
the same as cabbage. : :I select a pice.
of land tiatis rich. During the win
ter I draw : on a plenty of barn-yard
manure; plow eep early iu the Sprinr;
then draw and roll often until Mie'plants
are large: enough to set out, say about
the middle of June, s Then ridge it up
in rows three feet apart ; takjjja rake
and smooth it down.' It is nbxtf as fine
as a garden and not : a weed'ori5 it. !
Choose a bland day and four smart
hands willset'one acre per day;'
straighten xip; put in the cultivaton;
plow, deep often. Thus I get from
eight hundred to nine hundred bushels'
per acre.
My sn.il is a gravelly, san
I have taken .the. .first pre

mium at pur ' county j fair on Swede
turnips for several lyears, ten turnips
made a bushel. One of them, after
cutting off the toots and tops, weigh

my seed from an honest seedsman

L FOOD FOR CHICKS.
I I have kept fowls and raised chick
ens for many years. For several years
past I have fid chicks with corn meal
prepared by mixing with boiling wa-
ter, and after standing thirty minutes
it is ready to feed. 1 usually salt it
slightly, sufficiently to taste the salt, and
believe the salting prevented gapes, as
I have not lost a chick by that disease
since I used salt, aud previously I did
lose froni gapes. Salt is destructive
to wormSi That the young chicks
may haye a variety, I also feed wheat
screenings and on these I pour boiling'
water, both to swell and often tie
sereepings, and wash out the dust and
smut. Pour off the water, and pour
on again it necessary to eleensj the
screenings, aud after standing a few
43 urs, feed. I also give my
fowls and '
consume with great avidity. Pluck
cut fine once a week, or oftener, is
picked up very quickly. Clamshells
and bones broken line 1 aiso ieea.
Shells' and bones are easily broken on
stone with a hatchet. To save
stooping "and to keep above the fowls, ;
I place the stone 9n a box. on whicit
is also ;a piece of oak! plank, to cut
the scraps, and break? the bones. I-
have no trouble with foftshelled eggs

i WATER FOR HORSES.
, Mr. B, Cartledge, of Sheffield, a
member of the jfloyal Veterinary Col-,
lege, calls attention to the very com
mon mistake 'made by keepers of
horses in limiting the supply of water
to their anirrjals. Many owners' of;
horses; most grooms, and others who,
have the charge of them, profess, he
Bays, "to know how much water a
horse ought to be allowed," and, when
a poor thirsty, over-driven, aiimal.ar
riyes at his journey's end, he is treat
ed to a very liiii lid supply and the
pail is taken away before its necessity
is half met. It is a, iistaken iotion
thatlcold ; water frequently produces
"colic." Fhave known it? cure the
diseas. f !Wheii cold water does cause ;
abodoqinalpain, it is from long abstin
ence aivd yiei the horse drinks 4o
execa.' But evt n thiss is rare. I allow
my horse to drink from every trough
r meet oh the road it the water be y
clean, and, inJ my own stud, I never
had a case of colic. At home, my (
horses always have water before them.
A friend of mine, to whom, he other
day, I gave this advice directed his
BerTant to adopt it. The servant shook
his head, and said, "he thought he
knew a. well as Mr. Cartledge when
bis-horse required water and how
much." The o&ncr, reply, told
his servant that might be so, and he
mUst allow his horses to drink as otteu
and as freely as he did himself. .

, The Herald of Health tells us that
sleeping after ditfper is a had practice,
and that ten minutes before dinner is
worth more than an
lour after.'
