A COOP ANEcDoTE.-The following
is said to have occurred at New Orleans,
during the invasion Of tina, quarter by
the British. After the battle of the 23d
December, 1924, in which both armies
received nearly the same injury, a sub
altern British officer was sent to the A.
merican line with a flag OF truce. Be-
ing detained little, he began to converse
with corporal in our service, respect
ing the probable issue of events there.
He stated that sit was folly for the A
mericans to resist any longer, as they
must eventually be beaten-that the
troops opposed to them were the flower
of the British army, who had repeated
ly vanquished the best veterans on tho
continent Of Europe and were conman-
ded by Lord Packenham, Lord Picton.
Lord Cochran, Lord Kean, and many
others of the ablest generals in Europe
To this the corporal replied Indignantly.
"On our side we have the Lord God Al
mighty, the Lord Jesus Christ, and HE-
Ro Andrew Jackson, and III be d--l
if we don't whip you.- ...#n9aH

GOLD From THE CLoUDs.--Gold is

agriculturis,s, who were returning to
theil farm. The peasants. went to the
spot and found there glittering stone.
which they picked up and carried home.
To their great astonishment, the stone
was composed of a large quantity OF
gold, and it is said that its value amounts
to 2,O0c francs. Galignani does not say
so, but we presume this handsome dona-
ton came from the pocket of "the man

To Ellen s1EGy.

When the silent eve is falling
o'or your happy mountain home,
And YOU roam among the Sha lows,
thinking Of the days n. gone,
Do you ever for moment,
Think Of him you never met
Save but twice on "Lifc's bleak DESERT
Do You recolIcct him YETI
From no vain or selfish impulse
Would | ask you TO impart,
The rich thoughts that nestle dove like
In the chambers of your heart;
But when first you aazed upon ne,
With your deep and earnest eyes,
Then felt that in our being
There werc answering sympathles.
And It's therefor that ask YOU
AS the wildwood paths you roam,
When the shades Of eve are falling
Round your far-oh mountain home,
If you think of him who never,
Wheresocver he may be
O'er tho world a weary wand'rer,
Shall forget to think OF theei
