The Responsive Chord.In the early spring of 1863, wlieu the

Confederate and Federal armies were confronting each other on the opposite hills of Stafford and Spottaylvanfa, two bands chanced one ovening, at the same hour, to begin to discourse sweet music on either bank of the river. A large crowd of the soldiers of both armies

Jathered to listen to the music, the I iendly pickets not interfering, and soon the bands began to answer each other.

First the band on the northern baDk would play “Star Spangled Banner,” “Hall Columbia,” or some other national air, and at Its conclusion the “Boys In Blue" would cheer most lustily. And the band on the southern bank would respond with “Dixie” or “Bonnie Blue Flag,” or some other melody, and the “Boys in Cray” would attest their approbation with an “old Confederate

AU Y U. T. BUCK 11 EK. fl ELS BOLD'SIn a little fishing village on the coast of Scotland there lived, a long while a poor fisher and bis only daughter. Though this story la true, her name is not recorded, and so we will call her Jean Burns. Jean Burns worked very hard, and fared very poorly; yet she was a happy girl, rich in her father’s love. And in her turn, she was very light of his eyes. Often, on summer evenings,

the rocks with other watched her a little

NEW STOCK-Our New Stock seems to have “hit” the exact wants of the people.

GREAT RTJSH.as he Bat anion Naher folk, an higher up, spreading his nets to dry, or sitting at the cottage doormending them, or knitting stockings, he would say proudly that “he didna ken where he suld bo without Jeanie—bless her!” And when the others praised her pretty face and comely dress, lie would answer, with the common prudence of his race, that “he didna ken about her being braw or bouny, but he kenned the was as gude as gold I”

Yet Jeanie had her troubles. When her father went out in his trim boat, and winds rose, or darkness fell before his return, her heart often grow sore and heavy. There were great dangerous rocks a little way out to sea, aud that little, insignificant village, could not afford a lighthouse, or oven a regular beacon fire. In great storms, one was lit upon the beach, but on ordinary nights, the belated fishermen had to fare as best they could ; and once and again, as the fresh sun rose on the receding morning tide, there wero bitter lamantatious “for those who would never come back to the town.”

One bright autumn day, Archie kissed his daughter,and gave lier ids usual parting orders about nets sud tackle. Jean followed him out of the cottage, and watched him go down among the rocks to the shore, and enter his boat. She eveu watched him and Ids comrade as they rowed off, until they became little undistinguishable specks in tlie bright horizon. _It was* a habit with her, perhaps springing from some lialt-foigotten fear—that some day lie would so go away, and never come hack again.

Jean had plenty of occupation to beguile the lonely hours. When she obeyed lier father's commands about his fishing-gear, site got to her knitting, and wrought so diligently, that twilight stole on almost unawares. Then sho brought the great old Bible to the window, and read lier chapter lu the fading light. Jean was a good scholar in her humble way ; aud when she was alone, she loved to read God’s book aloud, as when her fallier sat beside and listened.

She put food on the table, ready for ills return, and then crept up the ladder which led to her own little dormitory. She wished she could await his coming ; but she dared not, for all lier strength and energy would be need before dawn to dispose of his watery gains, while he lay down and slept.

Her slumbers wero as sweet and dreamlea as health aud labor can give ; but alas 1 they were unbroken long past the usual time, and when at last she opened her eyes, the sun was high in heaven and the returning fishers were talking below her window and yet her father was not home.

And ho did not come home all day; and late in the evening, while she was Hltll boning those sail hopes which are more piercing than the worst certainty, a neighbor brought the tidings that the wreck of father’s boat was seen among the rocks, and tbat she and the forlorn wife of bis comrade would never again behold their missing ones “till the Bea gave up its dead.’,

“She bore it bravely, did puir Jennie,’ said the old fisher, as he left the orphan girl. “She didna speak at first, but fust greentit quietly; ami when I said it was all through the" black darkness among them rocks, and that he thought he was returning to his ain home when he row- ed down to bis death, she just lifted her head, and asked “if a little light on the shore might hare saved him?’’and Isald “ho doubt it would.”

And the Ushers tbat went ont tbat night saw, on their return, a candle set in Jean’s window. They did not mark it much at first; they thought sorrow made her restless and she did not wish to sleep. But night after night—week after week—the little candle was always there, llie women and they scarcely saw Jean by day—her curtain was always drawn; they thought she slept In the sunlight, and set up to work and watch her caudle in the darkness.

And ao It was."ft canna bring back ,my ain dead,”

-lie said meekly, when they spoke vi renlly of her noble kindness, “but it may save neither. Where’s the use of sorrow, unless it help« us to keep it awa from others? .Experience lsane of God’s gifts, and if we let It be in a napkin, He'D call us to account. Ye need ua thank me friends.'

We are literally run down with Customers, and some days uot able to wait on them all.
