She's a phantom of grace ai she sails in the room, And I long for a plimpse of her cheek ; But testacy dies in an ebony gloom My pangsare too utter to speak. If my glances can roam to the crest of the comb 'Tis all that my vision perceives. And so with a sigh I lay my hopes by At I sit in the shade of her sleeves. I once was a man of the average size, In a beautiful bygone day ; And favor I found in my. fair one's eyes, And oh, but my bosom was gay I But fashion has changed and her heart is estranged, In sorrow my spirit now grives; For myjdream is a wreck. And I'm shrunk t" a speck As I sit in the shade of her sleeves. if I could only sport a silk hat in the house How much it would add to my height 1 But no; I must sit just as meek as mouse, Safe hid from my dear one's eight, Why, sometimes I doubt if she knows I'm about. Life truly is 'nothing but leaves.' Pleasure's lamp has gone out And hope put to rout ' As I sit in the shade of her sleeves. Ah, once I could glide to her ra diant side i And coo in the shell of her ear ; With smiles and with blushes she'd listen in pride My passionate wooing to hear. Now at night and at noon through a rustling balloon No answer my wooing receives ; Nor can my arm reach To the goal of my speech As 1 sit in the shade of her sleeves. Alas 1 as I viewed them swell up and up My spirits sank down and down Go, sometimes I think I must take to the cup, My horrible anguish to drown Is it feathers or gas that hath puffed up my lass? Weird fancies delirium weares Whatever the stuff My fate it is rough I'm lost in the shade of her sleeves 1 S. M. P. in Judge. Boyd, tilts F3imile Belle Boyd was born in Martins hurg, Va., in May 1S44, and is de cended lrom revolutionary ances tors. Being on the frontier that divided the two opposing armies and sentiments, the laten fires of her nature were awakened by the fierce storm that raged around her. She was educated at Mt. Washing ton Female college, near Balti more, While at home on a vaca tion in the fall of 1859 the John Brown raid at Harper's Ferry took place, and on account of the ex citement caused by this, the coun try around her home was filled with soldiers during the entire winter. Shortly after this she spent her first winter in Washing ton society and spent hour after hour listening to the debates . in the capital. As a reeult of these she left Washington a full-fledged secessionist After, this quickly followed the massing of troops at Charleston, the secession ,of the states, ;the bombardment of Fcrt fciumter and then Virginia went oit of the Union. Lincoln's call for troops followed, and then came the concentration of iroops in the valley of Virginia and the ap pearance of the scene of Jackson and Johnson. HOW SHE BECA3IE A SPY. Patterson's and Cadwalader's armies from the North invaded Virginia and swarmed around her home in Martinsburg. One of the union soldiers, a drunken fellow, insulted in the grossest language language her mother, who tainted. Belle was present and drew her pistol and shot him. She was ar rested and carried to Gen. Patter son's headquarters and a court of inquiry was held. General Pat terson said she did right and un der the same circumstances he hoped every southern girl would do the same. The incident got into the Northern papers, and and "like a white elephat," as they expressed it she was pointed out as the thousands of troops came into town as being the most dangerous rebel in the country. THE GREAT GENERAL. Jackson discovered her merit as a spy and gave her a permit to pass anywhere through his lines and she otten rode through the dark lonely hours of night to car ry news to Jackson and Stewart of the movements of the enemy. At tne battle of Front Royal she ran across the battlefield un der the firing of both armies with important news to Jackson This saved the bridge trom being burn ed and Jackson from being hemmed in. This led to her im prisonment in Washington, from which she was afterwards ex changed, along with 300 Confed erate prisoners, and sent to Rich mond. She was then made captain in the "regular coutederate army and wore a riding costume. As cap tain she was aide-de-camp on the staff of Stonewall Jaakson oh de tached service. In the winfcer of 1863 she was sent to Knoxville on secret service, also making's.'- tour on government business to Mont gomery, Mobile and Charleston. In this last place she was guest foT a week of General Beauregard. She then returned, in the summer of 1864, to the valley of Virginia. The battle of Chancellorsville was fought and Jackson was killed Quickly following the battle of Gettysburg, at which time she acted as courier, bearing dispatch es between Gettysburg and Rich mond. She was then taken pris oners and placed iu Carroll pris on in the city of Washington, and while there was tried as a spy and sentenced to be shot. She was a week under sentence of death, and four federal officers were at the time held by the confederate gov ernment in the South to share whatever fate should be visited up on her. Through powerful in fluence brought to bear on the case her liie was saved and Lin coln refused to sign the death war rant. She was then exchanged. A few days after her arrival in Washington her father, Benjamin Reid Boyd, died in that city with congestion of the brain, caused by the iniense excitement he had un dergone in securing her commu tion of sentence. It would take pages to give all the minor details of her career. In the spring of 1S64 she was sent with dispatches to Johnston's army, located between Vicksburg aud Atlanta. She had great diffi culty in reaching Johnson, but finally did : so and delivered her dispatches in March, 1864. She then made a brief visit to Cassville on the Western and Atlantic rail road as the guest of Mrs. McMur ray, wife of Judge McMurray, and then to Atlanta, staying a few days at the principal hotel there, and then to Augusta and took part in one of these cities, she for gets which, in some tableaux for confederate soldiers. Then to Richmond by way of Charlotte, N. C. ONBOARD THE. GREYHOUND. In May, 1864, President Davis ! ordered Secretary Benjamin - to give her dispatches which were to be carried to Europe by tne way of Bermuda, a mission to be per formed in England for the confed erate government. She left Rich mond and went to Wilmington, N. C, at that timo the great blockade running port. On May 8, 1S64, she saiied on board the Greyhound, flying th British flag under Capt. George H. Beers, ex-captain of the United States navy, under the name of Capt, Henry. They had a heavy cargo of cotton, two large kegs ot gold, two other passengers, her self and ner two servants, one an Irish girl who was her maid and a colored maid. On the afternoon of May 9 they were captured by the United States man-of-war Connecticut and she was carried to Boston and kept a prisoner a few days in the Tremont hotel. By a courtmartial by reason ot her being captured under a Brit ish flag she was not shot-but ban ished. Sho was carried to Canada and ordered never to put her foot ou United States soil again or she would be shot without trial. A youug Lieut, on the Connec ticut, Sam Hardinge, fell in love with his fair captive. She got bis signal book which she afterwards gave to the captain of the Grey hound, whom she met in Canada. She sent the signal book into the Souih by the way of blockake and then sailed for England from Que hec on the board the Damascus and arrived in London carrying ail of her dispatches safely through. She was followed across the ocean by her lover, Lieut. Hardinge, and they were married at St. James, in Piccadilly. The Prince of Wales, she says, attended their wedding. They were afterwards presented at five different foreign courts. By him she had one child, Grace Har dinge. ON THE STAGE. She was left a widow and went upon the dramatic stage in Europe and made her debut at the Theater Royal, in Manchester. When the general amnesty was proclaimed she came back to America and played a few engagements in this country and then married Colonel Sohn S. Hamilton, an English ex ariny officer, in March, 18G9. She then went to California, where she was seriously ill and on recovering returned east and settled dowrn in her home. The children living by this marriage are Misses Bird and Belle Swainton and John Ed munds. - In the year 1875 to 18G3 she was informed at different times and Dlaces that different parties were trying to personate her. Among these were Belle Star, Kate Ray mond Howe and a woman calling herself Mrs. Murphy. The first is dead. In 1885, in Texas, she married her present husband, Nat R. High, formerly of Toledo, Ohio. In To ledo on February 22, 18S6, she gave her first recital and has been doing so ever since. Voices fVoiii tlis Siinctu- The world always gives a man a chance once ; God gives men op portunities. We are a remarkable people for fast living, and fast living means fast dying. A young man hardly gets out of college now before he thinks he should go to the legislature. I know of no slavery comparable to the slavery of fashion. It is mocking God, it is trifling with God to pray, "God save my country"and then voting for meas ures which are directly against that prayer. There's; not a man of you woith picking up in the streets whose life has not been fashioned by the character of some good moth3r or daughter or wife. Thank God you can't buy your way into good society with money. .The question when a man dies is not how much truth has died but it is "What was he worth?" -Put your money where fools can't epnd it. My God ! What is money for unless it is to spend, not to squander, but to use for something ? Bishop Duncan is a very pointed forcible speaker. Ho puts his thoughts in unmistaicable lan guage. We give a few cf his quaint sayings. When a woman's reason and judgement fail her, intuition conies to her relief. When I see a man mistreating his wife, it comes nearer than any thing else making me prove the truth of that good old Methodist doctrine, of falling trom grace. No man can truly love a woman if he does not love the church, llo may love her as a good companion, as a good housekeeper and ;i swvt kind of being, but he cannot truly and realty love his wite in tin highest sense of love, if he dons not love the church. The var to stop people from lancing is to show them some thing better get them converted end there will be no more dancing. A revival in a church which adds to the membership and does not show truits in Christian living and supporting the cnurdi is spu rious. The law of love is exacting. U is satisfied with nothing save its own gratification. Our love for Christ demands everything we have and ourselves to boot. Ex. A rltji for tli GirlH. Parents, give your daughters a trade or profession. Yes, my dear, horrified looking madam, and you, too, my dear sir, raising your eye brows in polite condemnation at sight of the homely word, I repeat it most emphatically, give them a trade. No matter what it is, so long as it will earn a good, honest living for them incase thev should ever need it ;and even it she should not need it, the feeling of comfort and independence that comes with it is very satisfactory, and not to b attained in any other way whatever. "But," I hear you say, "what does my daughter need of a trade? Has she not everything that she can possibly wish for? And, be sides that, all girls marry ; she will probably be no exception to the rule. What need, therefore, that she should trouble herself as to wavs and means? Now such logic is all well enough for some, and no doubt many are content to let it goat that; but the average girl's pride rebels at the idea of being dependent. Then, too, suppose your riches should take wings, as riches have a disa greeable habit of doing occasional ly; would not the knowledge that your daughter held in her fair hands a shield and a sword with which to protect herself and keep the grim foes Want and Distress at a distance prove a comfort and blessing, not only to her, but to yourself as well 1 It is true that all or nearly all girls marry; and let me tell you right here, that then is the time of all others, when a girl lougs for a few dollars of her own that she may add a few straws to the home nest that is to be hers, and feel free to exercise her own judgment and taste in so doing- No one except those who have ex perienced it knows what a humili ating feeling possesses one who has to 6tand idle while her belongings t are brought for her with money that somebody else has earned and owns. Demorest's Magazine. Cniill'4 in Old TVav liirlincl. In these days of cheap and uni versal illumination, we almost for get the humble tallow dips of our grandmothers, and the way they were made. Candle making was the great household event ot the late autumn or early winter, as soap making was of the spring. Careful and laborious preparations were made for this labor. The email wooden rods that had been laid up above the great beans of the kitchen or tbruat under the garret eaves since the previous year, were brought down stairs to the scene of the candle-dipping, ami cotton wicks that nad pre viously been cut, and sometimes soaked in salf-H.ter, were placed three ..r four inches apart the en tire length of each rod. Usually eight or ten wieks were fastened to a rod. Sometimes "cat-tails or. tings were uud instead of wooden roils. Then long poles were placed in a cool room, supported on two st might -barked chairs, arid across tlie-. poles the he wicked rods were hung like the rounds of a ladder. This work was all done on the day previous to that appointed for the candle- lipping, and the following morning all in the household were astir before dawn. The tire in the kitchen fireplace wsa piled with lows, the vast brass kettle brought nt and hung on the crane, and partly filled with water. hen this water va hot, cakes of tallow were broken up and thrown in to melt, ami float upon the top of the water. This fallow had be3n collected lV r many months from the slaugh tered animals by the careful house wile; and beeswax had also been saved from the hives to add to the candle stock, to make harder can dled: and, w here bayberries grew, bay berry wax also. These fragrant little berries had been gathered through the late summer in vast stores, boiled with water till the melted bayberry wax had separat ed and risen to the top, whence it had been skimmed and allowed to harden into cakes, to save for the candle-making. When the wax and tallow were well melted, the kettle was taken from the crane and carried to the cooler room, or the cool end of the kitchen, where stood the chairs with the poles, rods, and wicks, Each wick was then dipped carefully into the melted tallow, and the rod placed again on the poles, care being tak en that each wick hung straight and well away from the other. Each rod was taken in turn, and by the time the last wick hud re ceived its dipping the first wicks were cool, and ready to receive a second coaling of tallow by a sec ond immersion. This tedious pro cess was repeated again and again till the candles were as large as de. sire.i. The candles were left to thoroughly harden over night, and in the morning were taken from the n,ds and packed away with satisfaction and pride for winter use. Ladies' Home Journal. DoiTt Fool Witlt til 1 :iitoi-. An Indiana editor and a rich widow were engaged to be married, says an exchange, when the neigh" bors began to talk about it, charg ing that ho was marrying her for her riches. The noble minded young editor was eorelv grieved at this, and he persuadedjhis affianced to turn all the w orldly pelf over to her grown daughter and thus prove to the world the sincerity and un selfishness of his affection. The tru.-ting widow did so and the very next night the editor eloped w ith the girl, and in the morning the widow pied the forms in the oflice and would have pied the form of the editor if she had found him.
