MS" Attention is called to the card Of
DR.. S. b. Pryor, appointed by Adjutant
General Byrd, to act rs agent for the Con-
federate Government in securing supplies

that Texans will promptly respond to the
calls npon their generosity and patriotism
in behalf of n brave army, that will soon
be exposed to the rigors of winter in a
northern climate.

Old Men.

How love them How love tn see their
dim eye glistep and bright at The remem-
brauce OF some bovish freak long forgotten
by all on earth but themselves, or grow dim
with tears at the thought Of some loved and
lost one, some friends they still coun, among
their treasures Each feeble step is nearer
10 the end now, and every silver hair cord
which binds them TO the grave.
How | love my old grandfather; he was
an old man, almost TO the allotted three score
and ten, when ! first remember him, when
] used TO sit on his knee while he told me
wondrous stories, of geni and fairies, and
lent me his knife with It's rough horn ham
die, and showed me how TO open his curl
ousIy fitted tobacco box. and sung 10 me
"Old China" and 'Windham" Oh how
love 10 hear the old man sing
And the last time went 10 see him in
his city home, how his lip trembled as he
kissed me and bade me good bye. ''Be a
good girl, Hope, and don't forge, me. In
the summer am comming ont to see you.
| want to see the old D once more, the
river and the hills, and the little old house
I lived in so long. ] shall come in the sum-
mer."
Poor old man? when the June roses we're
blooming, and the villa was dressed in It's
summer mantle, he did come, but the faded
eyes were closed and the weary limbs were
at rest, and that still Sabbath morning we
laid him cT1iatty doun heneath tho oak trea
and lett him there alone.
And ten years has he laid there, and the
sod is green above him, and in the autum n
sunIights. The tall ripe grasses bend ;heir
yellow heads to the pale blue asiers and
seem TO whisper, "Il is not the end"

NapOIeOn's S Coat of Mail.

Juet before Napoleon set out for Belgi,
nm fbefore the battle OF Waie rloo) he sent
for the cleverest artisan of his class in Paris,
and demanded ol him whether he would
engage to make a coat of mail TO be worn
under the ordinary dress which should be
absolutely bullet proof and that, if go, he
might name his own price for such work.
The man engaged to maket the desired article,
if aloud proper time, and he named eigh-
teen thousand francs (seven hundred and
twenty pounds sterlina) as the price of it.
The.bargain was concluded and in due time
the work was produced, and the artisan was
honored with a second audience of the
Emperor. ''Now," said his imperial Ma
jesty, ''put il on" The man did go. GAS
! am TO stake my life on its efficacy, you
will, suProse, have no objection 10 doing
the same and he took brace of pistols
and prepared TO discharge one at the breast
of the astonished artist. There wa. no
retreating, however, and, half dead with
fear, he stood the fire and to the infinite
credit OF his work with perfect impunity
But the Emperor was no; content with one
trial. He fred The second pistol at the back
OF the artist, and af,erwsrd discharged 9
fowling piece at another part of him with
similar effect "Well," said the Emperor
"you have produced capital work, un.

The Language of The American Flag.

A number Of years ago we''.read in an
cd congressional document an explanation
of the coIors and symbolca meaning of
the stars and stripes of our national banner,
written by member of the committee of
the Continental Congress to whom was refer
red the duty of selecting flag for the then
infant coniederacy. Since then we have
frequently desired TO repuhlish The expla-
nation, as matter OF interest TO our readers
but were never able 10 find it until this
morning we discovered it incorporated in
a sketch of the battle OF Saratoga read before
the New York Historical Society BY A. B.
Street, Esq.
The explanation reads as follows:
"The stars of the new flag represent the
new constellation of States rising in the
West. The idea was taken from the con-
slelation Lyra, which in the hand of Or
phens signifies harmoney The blue in the
field was taken from the edges of the Gov
enaaters' banner in Scotland, significant Of
the league covenant of the United Colonies
against oppression, incidentally involving
the virtues OF vigilanls, perseverance and
justice. The stars were disposed of in a
circle symboIIzing The perpetui,y of the
Union the ring, like tue circling serpent
OF the Egyptians, signifying eternity. The
thirteen stripes showed with the stars, the
number of The United Colonies, and denoted
the subordination OF the States 10 the Union
as we'll as equality among hemselvea. The
whole was the blending of the various fses
previous to the Union fag-viz., the red
flags Of the army and the white of The float.
ing hat 'res The red color which in Roman
days was the signal of defiance, denotes
daring and the white purity"

4 Dandy AlSNerpd.

An amusing colloquy came off recently
at the supper table, on board of one OF our
Eastern steamers, between a Boston exqui-
site, reeking with hair oil and cologne, who
was damning the waters, and Otherwise
assuming very consequential airs, aud a
raw Jonathan who sat by his side, dressed
in home-spun.
Turning 10 his "vulgah" friend the former
pointed his jewelled finger and said
"Butter, sab ~
II see it is" coolly replied Johuathan.
"Bmter, sab | say ~ fiercely repeated
the dandy.
"a know livery good-a first rate arii>
Gle" provokingly reiterated homespun.
"BUTTEB, tell you'' Numbered the ex-
quisite in still louder tones pointing with
SLOW unmoving finger like scorn's and
scowling upon his neighbor as if he would
annihilale him.
"Well, gosh all Jerusalm, achat Of II p
now yelled the Down. Easter, getting his
dander up in turn. "Yer didn't thin'i |
