Paid On in Their Own Coin.

During the occupation of London, Ken,
by the rebel forces under Zoliicoffer, they
obtained all Of their supplies from the I'm
ion men of that town, giving in return that
vile stuff, Confedera re bonds, payable two
years after date. They never took any thing
from the secash of the neighborhoCd, but
encouraged them in all their impositions
upon the Unionists about there. When,
however, Zollicofer was driven out by
Gen. Schoepf, and the Union forces in need
OF supplies, one Of the richest secessionists
Of the ncighborhood-who had been mos;
active in showing Zollicofer who of the
Union men had corn and supplics-was ap
piled to by the General for corn, oats and
hay, for bis forces, but was answered by
him that he would neither give, lend nor
sell anything to him Or his forces. Gen.
Schoepf then very quietly sent dctach
mcnt for the articles wanted; obtained
from the Unionists around, the Confederate
bonds, paid him coed price for bis produce
with bonds, and gave to the Union men the
money Of the glorious Government for
which he is now SO molly fighting.

A Romantic Story.

The Richmond Dispatch chronicles a
remarkable story, derived from gentleman
for many years engaged in the prosecution
Of military claims, who obtained the par
ticulars from descendant of the parties
that form the subject of the narrative.
Early in the revolutionary war man
named Lane enlisted in company raised
for three years. The company went north
and joined Washington's army. Taking
part in all the previous battles, Lane was
severely wounded at Brandywine or Ger
mantown, and during the battle and after,
he was taken care of by brother soldier,
to whom he had become greatly attached,
and who belonged to the same company as
himself. The term Of the service having
expired, these two soldiers were discharged,
and returned home devoted and inseparable
friends. In the meantime the tide of war
rolled On the South, and they again enlisted
to serve in General Lincoln's army, at the
time engaged in the seige Of Savannah.
In that seige they did their duty bravely.
At last, Lanes friend was wounded in
turn, and was carried off the field in the
arms Of his devoted friend. While under
the care of the surgeon it was discovered
that bis brave and tender companion was a
woman
Il appeared that she Lad formed a strong
attachment to Lane, whom she had acct
dentally met, but made so little impression
upon him that he did not recognize her
when he afterwards met her disguised as a
soldier. She was in despair when Lane
enlisted, and under the inspiration of affsc-
ton she fed from her parents, donned the
Continental uniform, and followed him to
the wars. What ensued was a proper
finale to such romance. The woman
recovered, and, as soon as the twain was
released from captivity, they became one.
They lived many years very happily to-
gcther, and left several children. Both the
man and his wife received pensions until
their deceasc, for services rendered as sol
diers.

A Short Clergyman.

A few miles below Poughkeepsie, n. Y,
there now lives, and has lived for several
years past, a worthy Clergyman, a man,
however, very short in stature Upon a
certain Sunday, about eight years ago, this
clergyman was Invited by the pastor of a
church in that village, to fill his pulpit for
the day. The invitation was accepted, and
Sunday morning saw Mr.. - in the pull
pit. Now it happened that the pulpit was
very high one, and according nearly hid
the poor little clergyman from view. How
ever. the congregation, out Of respect, man.
ngcd TO keep their countenances, and with
over pious faces. seemed religiously anxious
for the text. They were no. obliged to
wait long, for a nose and two little eyes
suddenly appeared over the top of the pull
pit, and squeakiug, tremulous voice, pro-
claimed in nasal tones the text:
81 Be of good cheer; it is I-be not afraid y
A general roar of laughter followed the
announcement-the clergyman became con-
fused, and turned all sorts of colors.-
Many, in the general uproar, left the house;
and il, was long time before the minister
was enabieG to proceed With the sermon, SO
abruptly broken of.
Afternoon came-and the little man,
standing on footstool, had fair view of
his audience. The text was announced in
due form:
ga little while We shall see me, and again a
little while and We shall not see me-
In the course Of his sermon he repeated
his text with great earnestness, and step
ping back, lost bis elevated footing and dis
appeared from his hearers! The effect may
be more readily imagined than described.

CHARCATcER IS POWER.

1t is often said that knowledge is power,
and this is true. Skill or faculty of any
kind carries with it superiority. So, to a
certain extent, wealth is power, and rank is
power, and intellect is power. and genius
has transcendent gift of mastery over
men. But higher, purcr, and better than
all, more constant in Its influence, more
lasting in It's influence, more lasting in Its
sway, is the power of character-that pow
which cmanates from a pure and lofty
mind. Take any community, who is the
man Of most influence? TO whom do all
look UP with reverence? Not the 4" smart
est" man, nor the cleyerest politician, nor
the most brilliant talkcr, but he who, in Il
long course Of years, tried by the extremes
of prosperity and aaversity, has approved
to the iudgemen, Of his 'neighbors and Of
all who have seen his life, as worthy to be
called wise and good.

The Young Men Of the Army.
Louisville Journal saws:

The Louisville journal says:
The fame of Spartan mothers is to be
rivalled by the firmness, devotion, and 10y
atty of the mothers of America. The pres
ent war calls forth the exhibition of the
noblest traits Of the female heart. We
have ssen scores of letters which, if collect.
ed in printed volume, might accompany
the "book Of books" as a most fitting com
mentary On the value of its inculcations,
and show the rich produce of the ripe har-
vests which spring from its seeds Of right
eousness and truth. But We are permitted
to copy an extract from one addressed to
Col j. NJ. Shackelford, which in its tone
Of Christian confidence and patriotic self
sacrifice. is ADORE and beyond all praise.
Written from secluded country home,
that Shenstone might have envied'-a
home where "peace, tranquility, and limo
cencc, shed their mingled delights around
it pours forth the hopes and fears of a
mother, wko, leaning on the Almighty arm,
trusting to his power, and confident in the
justice of her country's cause, gives up her
e iest son to her God and TO that country.
The simple pathos of the letter is the high
est eloquence, AID its religious confidence
the mos! holy characteristic Of an American
mother. 1t reads as follows:
Col. John H. .Shacheltora--I send my
son to you, yes, my eldest child, with the
full confidence that you win care for, guide,
and protect him as you would your own
son.
My boy has been as tenderly cared for,
and his morals as strictly guarded as a
girls. He is young, unsophisticated, and
innocent a. The most refined female. God
grant that he may remain so, although |
know the camp is calculated to demoEalize
and uuGt a man for the social circle. Ny
boy is gentle, but firm and unwavering.
lie can be managed by kindness, but not
by harshness. This know by experience.
l know martial laws are rigid; be gentle
and forbcaring in consequence of his age
and ineyperience.
Pardon the feelings and partiality Of a
doting mother. now give my darling boy
up to his God and country, and may the
just God OF Battles preside over and shield
your devoted regiment, is the prayer of
your unhappy friend.

EARLY HARpooN PRACTICE
through Nantucket last summer, We stopped
at an out-of-the-way house for drink of
water. As we approached the halfopen
door. we oeheld the following scene: 40
urchin, some six years old, had fastened a
fork to the end of ball of yarn which his
mother was holding, which he very dex-
trously aimed at black cat dosing in the
corner. Puss no sooner felt the sharp prick
of the fork, than she darted off in a jiffy.
while the sxperimenter sung out in his glee:
"Pay out, mother pay out there she
goes thro' the window %
