A full grown rabbit hid itself away in the
copse Of fence. which separated two fields
near the center and most exposed portion Of
the battle ground. Rabbits are wont to
spend the day almost motionlcss and in
seeming dreamy meditation. This one could

At length that part OF the field seemed

A Truth Well Stated.

In an address to his officers and men, after
the battle of Pea Ridge, General Sigel used
the following striking language:
"On the 9Th, you came at the right time
to the right place. 1t was the first oppor-
tunity you had of showing your full strength
and power In less than three hours you
formed in line OF battle, advanced and Co.
operated with our friends on the right, and
routed the enemy so completely that he fed
Ike dust before burr cane. A,ad so 1t aoiy
aJaoays be aohen traitors, sedasced by selfish
leaders and prosecuted By the pangs of an
evil conscience, are fighting against soldiers
aUho defend a good cause are we'll drilled and
disciplined, obey promptly the orders of
their officers, and do not shrink from dan
gerous assault when at the proper and de-
cisive moment it is necessity" ..-
The words in italics tell the story of this
war. The South are demoraIized beyond
all hope of redemption. They fight as men
always contend in wicked cause, hopeless
ly, timOrously, under the ban of conscience
which stamps their souls with cowardice.
They lack even that reckless valor of des
peration, by which bad men have sometimes
ruined themselves and their enemies logeth
er. Such men cannot stand up against the
defenders and advocates of good cause.

Sudden Love and Hasty Wedding.

The Cleveland Herald tells the following
story of love adventure which took place
in that city on Thursday last. The Herald
says:
On Tuesday, young, pert, and good
looking damsel arrived at the depot, on her
way to Rochester, New York, where she
said her friends lived. Unfortunately her
money had given out, and she had not the
"wherewith" to purchase ticket to the
place. Lamenting her sad fate she made
inquiry after the superintendent of the
Lake Shore railroad, for the purpose of Pc
titioning for pass. -, -
A young man who had also come in on
the: cars overheard the inquiries OF the
young woman, turned to her, and at once
Cupid, wicked little rascal, .... :.... ..-.
Took an arrow from his culver,
'Drew ad" upon his victim oil.
And shot him through the heart and liver.
The young fellow stepped up and offered
to ''see her home" to Rochester if she
would wait until the next train, when he
would be going that way. The young
lady accepted his kind offer. The attentive
cavalier at once called carriage, and took
bis fair charge up town to dine and rest
until train time. .... .
Wednesday morning the two again made
their appearance at the depot. A brief,
but doubtless deeply interesting converse.
tion took place in the waiting room. The
result was that the young man hastily con.
suited bis watch and then sought out Depot
Master Clark Warren. A few words pas
sed, and in brief space after, Justice Fol
jamie hurriedly arrived at the depot and
entered the waiting room. The couple
stood up. Justice Foljambe adjusted bis
glasses. Our portly friend Clark Warren
who, for the accession, assumed the role of
the ''slow old father" whose mission it is to
give away the bride and bless the happy
pair-took out his pocket handkerchief in
order that he might weep decently at the
blessing ceremony. A few words were said,
and this strangely thrown together couple
were one flesh. Baggage was hastily gather.
ed together, the conductor shouted "all
aboard" Clark Warren gave his parting
benediction, wiped his eyes and blew his
nose. The train started, and the parties in

were whirled away to Erie, where they

army must be made good. Wages are so
high end produce so low we must expect a
pretty hard row to hoe the next year but
the only way we can see to solve the prob
lem is for US who remain to pitch in and
work the harder. We must rise with the
sun and labor all day long. II is idle to
talk about hiring. It cannot be done. We
would rather let our farm lie idle than do
that. 1t is bitter pill to swallow, but we
have worked before and can do it again.
In this connection we will say that we
hope every farmer will see that his wheat is
sowed early. 1t matters not go much in re.
gard to corn and oats, but if good crop
of wheat is expected it must be in before
the frost is out of the ground. 1t is true q
good crop may be had if sowed late, but
there is nothing certain about it.-Glsncos
