MAGRuDER's GRATITUDE-Gen. Magruder,
of the rebel army, who has the reputation of
drinking more liquor than any other officer in
the Confederate army, is indebted to a SOL
der for the following account of his exploits
with Mexican aguadiente
About the month of October, 1913, after
the close of the war with Mexico, Colonel Ma
gruder had been ordered by the Generalin-
Chief Of the army to proceed across the plains
of Lower California to San Diego One fine
Sunday morning we proceeded per order. We
had gone but about one mile from the city of
Mexico, the thermometer being one hundred
and twenty-six degrees in the shade; when
the Colonel found his coppers getting dry after
hard nights drinking in the city. Observing
a clumsy looking man named Ryan with a
well filed canteen of water, as he (Magruder)
thought, he turned 10 him and commenced the
following conversation
What have you got there. sir ?"
Water, Colonel"
D." Let me have drink ,"
J." Yes, Colonel"
Putting the canteen 10 his mouth, he took
two or three swallows and turning TO the SOL
dier, said
GOOD water. sir, by -, sir; do not waste it.
1t must be remembered that this water "
which the Colonel praised so highly was moth
ing more than Mexican muscatel, commonly
called aguadiente. We had proceeded but
short distance further when our gallant Colo
mel called to Ryan for another swg, which he
got. when the following coIloquy occurred
What is your name. sir p
Private Ryan"
You are hereafter Corporal Ryan"
A short distance further, and another swig
was called for and received, the Colonels cop
peTs wanting cooling again, saying as he did so:
" Now, sir, you are Sergeant Ryan. by -,
sir, to be honored aud respected accordingly"
If the canteen had held out, and the Colonel
had promoted at every drink the soldier would
have obtained a high rank before the days
march was finished.

To Ny Children.


This Is very exquisite poem. which was writtI
in camp, after battle, and sent by soldier-fAth,
10 his children at home. II Will stir good though
at any freside to read il aloud:l
Darlings, | am weary pining:
Shadows fall across ny way;
can hardly see the lining
OF the cloud-the silver lining
Turning darkness into day.
| am weary Of the signing,
Moaning. wailing through the air:
Breaking hearts in anguish crying
For the lost one-for the diving,
Sobbing anguish of despair
I an weary of the fighting
Brothers red with brothers gore;
Only that the lrrong were righting-
Truth and Honoys battle fighting
would draw my sword no more.
am pining, dearest, pining
For your kisses on M cheek;
For your dear arms round me twining;
For your soft eyes on me shining;
For your loved words, darlings speak.
Tell me, IN your earnest prattle
OF the olive branch and dove;
Call me from the cannons rattle;
Take my thoughts away from battle
Fold me in your dearest love.
Darlings, am weary pining:
Shadows fall across my way;
can hardly see the lining
of the eloud-the silver shining
Turning darkness into day.

CoLD.-FOr every mile that we leave the
surface OF the earth, the temperature falls FIVE
degrees. At forty five miles distance from the
globe, we get beyond the atmosphere, and en-
ter, strictly speaking, into the region of space,
whose temperature is 225 degrees below zero ::
and here cold reigns in all its power Some
idea of this intense cold may be formed by sta
ting that the greatest cold observed from the
Arctic Circle is from forty to sixty degrees
below zero, and here many surprising effects
are produced. In the chemical laboratory the
greatest cold that we can produce is about 80
degrees below zero. At this temperature, car
bOnic Gas becomes solid substance like snow.
If touched, it produces just the same effect on
the skin as a red.hot cinder-it blisters the
finger like burn. Quicksilver or mercury
freezes at 40 degrees below zero that is, Il
degrees below the temperature at which water
freezes. The solid mercury may then be treat
ed as other metals, hammered into sheets, or
made into spoons ; such spoons would, how
ever melt in water as warm as ice. 1t is pret-
ty certain that every liquid and gas that we
are acquainted with would become solid if ex
posed to the region of space. The gas we
light our streets with would appear like wax
oil would be in reality as hard as a rock :"
pure spirit, which we have never yet solidifed,
would appear like transparent crystal by
drogen gas would be solid, and resemble metal;
like a piece of ivory, and the fragrant odors of
flowers would have to be made hot before they
would yield perfume These are few of the
astonishing effects of cold.

/. Prepare ground in the fell, plant in the

,. Give the vine plenty of manure, old and
well decomposed; for fresh manure excites
growth, but does not mature it.
s. Luxuriant growth does not always insure
fruit.
4. Dig deep but plant shallow.
). Young vines produce beautiful fruit, but
old vines produce the richest
6. Prune in the autumn to promote growth,
bat in the spring to insure fruitfulness.
:. Plant the vines before you put up trelises.
s. Vines, like soldiers, should have good
arms.
9. Prune spars to one well developed bud,
for the nearer the old wood the higher favored
the fruit.
10. Those who prune long must soon climb.
H. Vine leaves run the sun the fruit, the

A POET and lover-all lovers are poets

paper, wrote and published the following very
pretty lines:

Some pearl of rarest dye?
Oh. seek it there, my lady,
And thou shalt find the best,
Thy image there reflected,
4 gem worth all the rest.
A fauciful, pleasing conceIt, the reader must
confess, but some wicked fellow with no poetry
or sentiment in his soul, nor love in bis breast,
has parodied the idea in the following outra-
geouS manner:
Oh wouldst thou know, my lady,

MOZART AND THE ORCHESTRA.-Mozart be-
ing once on a visit at Marseiles, went to the
opera incognto, to hear the performance of
his " Nillanela Rapita.' He had reason to
be tolerably well satisfied, till, in the midst of
the principal aria, the orchestra, through some
error in the copying of the score, sounded D
natural where the composer had written a D
sharp. This substitution did not injure the
harmony, but gave commonplace character
to the phrase, and obscured the sentiment of
the composer. Mozart no sooner heard it than
he started up vehemently, and from the middle
Of the pit cried out in q voice of thunder -

sensation produced in the theatre may be ina
gined. The actors were astonished the lady
who was singing stopped short; the orchestra
followed her example, and the audience, with
loud excamations demanded the expulsion of
the offender. He was accordingly seized and
required to name himself. He did so, and at
the name of Mozart the clamor subsided into
a silence of respectful awe, which was soon
succeeded by reiterated shouts of applause
from all sides, 1t was insisted that the opera
should be recommended Mozart was installed
ia the orchestra, and directed the whole per

in its proper place, and the musicians them
