TENNESSEE GALLANTRY.-0n the departure OF
the first Tennessee regiment for Mexico, the
young ladies of the senior class of the Nashville
Female Academy, presented to the regiment a
flag, which their fair hands had embroidered.
The gallant Tennesseeans swore never to dis
honor it,and nobly did they keep their pledge.
They returned with ranks thinned by disease
and battle, but with mstained honor; and have
returned the flag, covered with glory, to the
hands that gave it. Miss Mary E. Foster wa:
appointed by her classmates to receive the ban
ner and we find in one of our Tennessee ex
changes, the name of which has escaped us, the
following lines, written by one of the volun-
teers
We've borne the noble gift afar,
And proudly have we stood,
Beneath its folds on many a field,
Where blood like water flowed;
And dying eyes have oft been turned
To where it floated past.
When gallant forms upon the earth,
Like leaves, were falling fast.
We bring it back, unstained and pure;
And glory still will be
With that bright banner, while the tale
Is told of Monterey;
And gentle eyes will drop tear,
To all who proudly fell,
Yielding their hearts blood for the pledge
Of those they loved so well.

A DUELlST'S DEATH-BED.

The sufferer young medical student, the OF
rich planter in the South Previous TO his leaving
home he had encountered his cousin in duel and
killed him; for which his father banlshed him from
his house, and pronounced upon him his paternal
malediction. And even though he had been informed
that his could never arise from his bed OF suffer
ing to which he was confined, even though his son
had besought him with his wasting breath tortorgve
ness, yet this inhuman brute OF father still withheld
it, though after death he could gid his coffin and be-
deck his grave

his feelings operating in unison with the weakness

haggard brow; and seizing his pistols he cooked and
snapped them at some imaginary object. Then Civ

he dashed them down, and pointed the spot al which
he had aimed, exclaimed, 'Therel there, there dom

THE JOU RN AL.

Love, ANcEsroRIAL PRIDE AND DEBr.-Rather a
spicy aw-question has come before of the Paris
Courts, giving publicity to the following dramatic
circumstance out ofwhich it grew:--A certain young
and pretty actress, who by shrewd management and
economy, had contrived to lay up serviceable for
tune, became nsprited with the unprofessona desire
TO exchange her untrammeled ceibacy for an orderly
marriage. Looking around among her admirers she
cast her eyes upon young of honorable name
and connections, who by course ofheadlong dissipa
ton had plunged irrecoverably in debt Her immedi-
ate resolve was to bring about bargain-the pay
men of his debts in exchange for the right to call her.

hewas in free air. she proceeded to buy the claims
against him, and threw him into prison. Here he re-

in exchange for prison ofstone" The young man
declined and still continues decline the alliance,
declaring that she may deprive him Of his liberty, but
he will never stain the escutcheon Of his family by
dsgracefu alliance. Once month, however, she
calls and repeats the offer, and there have been large
bets to the final result based the probable strength
of the love ofliberty.

The rejection of Hays and his regiment after all

met in the wide prairie by the bearer of Gen. TayOrs
orders directing them to return home. We may i'm

THE SONS OF TEMPERANCE.
Written on witnessing the temperance Process
sion in Philadelphia, June Is, 1917.

BY MRS. JAMES A. BEvERIDGE.
The come they come an honored band
In far and bright array,
On Virtues side to take their stand
The moral champions of our land,
With blessing on their way.
They come, with flowery chaplets crowned,
From grateful Beauty won;
While music's strain floats on the air
And glittering wreath and banner fair
Are flashing to the sun.
The victor of the battle plain
Must shudder mid his fame,
For shadows from the field of death
Still come to blight his dear bought wreath,
And tears fall on his name
While on the Temperance heros brow
No blood stained laurels rest;
He strives nobler aim to win
To save from sorrow and from sin,
And bid mankind be blest.
Fair Temperance! to thy righteous cause
Let honor due, be given,
And may thy Sons, in firm array
Still onward keep their shining way
Approved of earth and Heaven.
