assistant, had laid hands on every horse of
the delegation, and claimed them for the
public service. Furious, they appealed to
the General. He declined interfering: could
make no distinctions. Other mems horses
we're taken, why not theirs surprised
at their want of patriotism, not willing to give
up their horses for the transportation of the
sick and wounded soldiers The case was
hopeless-the weather warm-the military
trappings, coat, sword, boots, &c., all insult
ed for long march in the hot and dusty
weather. No conveyances, however, could
be had. The Generals, Colonels, Majors and
Captains of the Tuscaloosa militia, acalkeel
to Tuscaloosa.
"And that's the reason" naively added
my informant, "why Tuscaloosa, I own, al
ways voted against the old General"
I believe these anecdotes to be true. They
have never been published. The authori-
ties from whom I had them are every way
reliable.
The late ---, of Selma, Dallas
county, gave me the first in 1888. He was
a quartermaster in Jacksou's army-himself
an enthusiastic admirer of the old hero, po-
litically, at that time supporter of Judge
White. He represented himself as an eye
witness of the scene.
The second I have from D. E.. near Ha-
vaua, in Greene county, Ala. He is still
living. Believes Jackson to have been the
greatest man, save Washington, who ever
lived. At the time of the occurrence he
resided near Carthage. He saw and heard
as I have written substantially. X.

everybody was excited for the time.
Fortunately, it did not last long, and no
weapons were openly displayed. When or

found to present an excessively tumbled and

little else to recall the excitement. Gentle

ingly manifested in tho creation of colors -
Without them the whole visible creation
would he dreary and monotonous, and the
bright and beautiful things that now greet our
vision would be clad in changeess gloom.
The seven primary colors are blended into
countless number Of shades. and thus the
most beautiful and delicate tints are produced.
We owe much Of the enjoyment we derive
from the Beautiful, to the almost endless va
rieties of color which are nearly everywhere
presented to our gaze. The pleasure we re-
ceive from viewing the grasses, flowers and
foliage, is probably owing more to their beau,
ty of color than to their symmetry of form.
The contemplation of the matchless and
delicate shades Of the rainbow; the blue of
the placid sky; the gorgeous clouds of sun.
set; and the starry midnight heavens, afford
us exquisite pleasure, and we can but see the
benevolence of God in the various colors by
which they are characterized. The peculiar
shade Of each is nicely adapted to the eye
and consequently we receive pleasure insteac
Of pain.

Thus we see that God has not only created

CHAT WILL Do" That will do, makes
your sloven and your slattern. A man who
adopts this motto with regard to dress does
not mind being seen with dirty shirt, and a
beard Of some days growth while the same
fatal device allows woman to 60 about the
house with curl papers, and slip shod. THAT
will do" applied to household matters is
equally bad, and more annoying to friends,
than when applied to dress. You may expect
ill-cooked dinners in any house where the
heads adopt this maxim, to say nothing of
shabby carpets, want of paint dirty muslin
curtains, &c. "That will do" hassunk many

Coon DEEDS EvERLAsrING.-They may
mourn over the failure of some seemingly
useful plan of their owns but God may be,
by their influence, sowing tie seeds of some
plan of his own, of which they little dream.
For every good deed comes from God. His
is the idea, His the inspiration, and His its
fulfllment in time; and therefore no good
deed but lives and grows with the everlasting
life of God himself; and as tho acorn, be-.
cause God has given it "a forming FORM"
and life after its kind, bears within it not
only the builder oak, hut shade for many
herd, food for countless animals, and at last
the gallant ship itself, and the materials OF
every use to which nature or art can put it
and its descendants after it. throughout all
time, SO does every good deed contain within
itself endless and unexpected possibilities Of
other good which may and will grow and null.

OoCUpAToN.-The want of proper occupa-
ton is the cause of more than half the petty
frets of life And right occupation will be
a medicine for half the minor ills of life. A
man without any proper aim in life, without
moral inspiration too rich to be Industrious,
and prey to the thousand frets of unoccu-
pied leisure, sometimes sets himself to pray
against his troubles Now man might as
well pray against the particles of sand in Sa-
hara, as lazy man to pray against petty
troubles. Therefore it happens, sometimes,
that bankruptcy bringsa man what all his
wealth failed to give-happiness for he has
real trobles, and trouble is good medicine
for trouble. There is moral counter-rrita-
tion.---H. w. Beecher.

DEspIsING HOUSEHOLD DUTIES From a

domestic abors conduce to the health of body

though she has a housekeeper, devotes por-

MARKS OF SUSPICION Always suspect
man who affects great softness of manner, and
unruffled cvenness of temper, and an enuncia..
ton studied, slow, and deliberate. These
things are all unnatural, and bespcak de-
gree of mental discipline into which he that
has no purpose of craft Or design to answer,
cannot submit to drill himself. The more
successful knaves are usually of this descrip-
tion--as smoothly as razors dipped in oil,
and as sharp. they affect the innocence of
the dove which they have not, in order to hide
the cunning of the serpent which they have.

CHRISTIAN CHEERFULNEss.- Christian cheer
fulness is honorable to God, and of happy
influence on man. Let the cheering and
tranquilizing power of the gospel break forth
and shine from your character. Jeremiah
sung psalms in the dungeon; Luther transa-
ted the Bible while in prison; John behed
the brightest visions of the New Jerusalem
in Patmos; Bunyan, in later days composed
the Pilgrim in confinement. There is very
impressive power in Christian happiness, on
those who see it from without. 1t is a sun
shine amid dripping clouds--a Sabbath heart
in week day body, and Sabbath speach amid
the dialects of Babel. 1t is brightest whom
all around is blacklist. When our natural
affections cease their music, we then hear,
sung out of the sky, unutterable melodies
which ear hath not heard when the world
is all gloom, regenerated soul treads glories
out of every pebble, and sees the stars as
arteries along which pulsations of felicity
reach him. He can say with Habakkuk-
Although the fg-tree shall not blossom,
neither shall fruit be on the vines the labor
of the olive shall fall, and the fields shall
yield no meat the flock shall be cut off from
the field, and there shall be no herd in the
stalls yet will rejoice in the Lord, l will
joy in the God Of my salvation

Little Willie.



By LYDIA Z. WHITE.
Willie sat by the open door
One quiet summer day,
His playthings strewed upon the floor,
His Fern Leaves+ cast away.
His heart was flledswith wild delight,
For In the cherry tree
A robin sang with all its might;
Said little Willie, see!"
That merry gush Of wild-bird song
Fell softly on his ear,
And then he sat and listened long,
Another strain to hear;
But to its leafy nest away
The little robin went,
And SO in vain did Willie stay.
He laid dim down to sleep that night
Upon his little bed,
But in the early morning bright
His precious spirit ned.
That morn, among the cherry boughs
The robin sang with joy,
But from his sleep it could not rouse
The little cherub boy.

Gonosrt of the Feathered Creation.

First, the robin, and not the lark, as has
been generally imagined, as soon as twilight
has drawn the imperceptible line between
night and day, begins his lonely song. How
sweety does this harmonize with the soft
dawning of the day. He goes on till the
twinkling sunbeams begin to tell him his
notes no longer accord with the scene. Up
starts the lark and with him great variety
of sprightly songsters, whose lively notes are
in perfect accordance with the gaiety Of the
morning. The general warbling continues,
with now and then an interruption, for rea'
sons before assigned, by the transient croak
of the raven, the screaming of the jay and
the swift, or the pert chattering of the daw.
The nightingale, unwearied by the vocal ex-
ertions of the night, withdraws not proudly
by day from his interiors in song, but joins
them in the general harmony. The thrush
is wisely placed on the summit of some lofty
tree, that his loud and piercing notes may be
softened in the distance before they reach the
ear while the mellow blackbirds seek the
inferior branches. Should the sun. having
been eclipsed with cloud, shine forth with
fresh efu gence, how frequently we see the
godfnch perch on some blossom Dough, and
hear his songs poured forth in strains pecu.
