A CASE occurred many years ago, in one
of our courts when a pretty young widow
was in danger of loosing two thirds of her
husbands estate his relations grounded
their complaints on the alleged insanity of
the defunct. 1t may be we'll to premise
that the presiding judge was not only con,
vivial but gallant.
'What were your husbands last words p
inquired the attorney.
The pretty young widow blushed, and
looking down, said, I'D rather not tell
But indeed you must, ma'am.
Your claim may be decided by it,
Still the widow declined to answer. At
last direct appeal from the bench enlict
ed the information.
'He said, kiss me, Polly, and open
that other bottle of champaigne.'
We do not know whether it was admi-
ration for the deceased husband or the
living wife that inspired the judge at that
instant but he at once cried, With all the
enthusiasm of conviction:
Sensible to the last !!
And gave a verdict in her favor.

Franklin was examining a whisk of the

YOUTHFUL BRAvERY.-The following
account of an incident of the battle near
Pittsburg Landing is given by one who is
enabled to vouch for its entire authenticity
In the battle at Pittsburg Landing, young
Martin BEEN, of Alton, Illinois, scarce ls
years old, was Sergeant in the Thir-
teenth Missouri, having entered the regi-
ment as a private. On that fatal Sunday
the color bearer was shot down at his sdei
he caught up the flag and carried it through
the day and slept that night with its folds
around him. The next morning the Cap
tain appointed him Second Lieutenant
pro tempore. The first volley killed the
First Lieutenant, and Martin took his
place, Soon after the Lieutenant Colonel
fell, and tue Captain of Martins company
acted as Major. Leaving this young hero
to carry the company through the battle
which he did most gallaully, and escaped
unharmed. Young Martin BEEN was in
printing Office when the war broke out
lie went to St. Louis and enlisted among
the three months volunteers. At the ex-
piration of that service he enlisted for th'
war. We may hear more OF him ere tn

FIDELITY.-Never forsake a friend.
When enemies gather around--when the
sickness falls on the heart-when the world
is dark and cheeless--then is time to try
true friendship. They who turn from
the scene of distress, betray thair hypoc-
riGy, and prove that interest only noyes
them. If you have q irieuG v-J owes
you and studies yous interest al nappi-
ness-be sure to sustain him ia 2iversi-
ty. Let him feel that his former kind
ness is appreciated, and that his love was
not thrown away. Real fidelity may be
rare, but it exists in the heart. Who has
not seen and felt its power? They only
deny its worth and power, who never have
loved a friend, or labored to make a
friend happy

ONE Drop AT TIME.-Haye you
ever watched an icicle as it formed You
noticed how it froze one drop at time
until it was foot long, or more. If the
water was clean, the icicle remained clear,
and sparkled brightly in the sun but if
the water was but slightly muddy, the
icclc looked fonl, and its beauty was
spoiled. just SO our caricters are form
ing-ope little thought, or feeling at a
time adds its influence. If each thought
be pure and right, the soul will be lovely,
and will sparkle with happiness; but if
impure and wrong, there will be inal de-
formity and wgetchedness.

Select Poetry.
10 Abraham.
BY PETER SNIGGLEFRITZ.

What are we coming to,
Abraham
What the devil shall we do,
Abraham
In ninety days, you said,
The Rebellion would be dead,
As the South had "nary a red,"
Abraham;
And old Jeff. would lose his head,
Abraham, o Abraham.
But more than year has past,
Abraham,
And still we are stuck fast,
Abraham
Things look so very blue
That we scarce know what to do,
For jeff. Davis and his crew,
Abraham,
Have quite outwitted you,
Abraham, o Abraham.
We are running into debt,
Abraham;
Richmond is not taken yet,
Abraham
Though a year we have been trying,
Sometimes fighting, sometimes lying;
Dear experience we are buying,
Abraham
That's fact there's no denying,
Abraham, D Abraham.
One million every day,
Abraham,
Is expended, so folks say,
Abraham;
But that is not any wonder
Whilst pet Generals all blunder,
And our contractors all plunder,
Abraham,
There is something wron, by thunder
Abraham, y .l,faham.
There is some one money-making,
Abraham;
"That's so !" there's 20 mistaking,
Abrahem;
Down in old Virginia pastures,
Where we ought to have been masters
We have met with sad disasters,
Abraham,
Which reduced US to shinplasters,
Abraham, o Abraham.
You have millions at your back,
Abraham;
"Go in," and clear the track,
Abraham;
If much longer you delay,
In the dillydally way
Now mark you what l say,
Abraham
You are sure to lose the day,
Abraham, o Abraham.
If you calculate to win,
Abraham,
Now's the time to begin,
Abraham,
To be firm, be true and brave:
Hang each traitor and each knave,
North or South, that don't behave,
Abraham
Then the UNION you may save,
Abraham, o Abraham.

RICH WITHOUT MoNEY.-Many man
is rich without money. Thousands Of
men with nothing in the pocket, and
thousands without even pocket are rich.
A man born with good sound constitu-
ton, good stomac good heart and good
limbs, aud pretty good head piece, is
rich. Good bones are better than gold
tough muscles, than silver, and nerves
than fash fire aud carry energy to every
function, are better than houses and
lands.
1t is better than landed estate to have
the right kind of father and mother. Good
breeds and bad breeds exist among men
as really do among herds and horses Ed.
ucation may do much to check evil ten
dencies, or to develop good ones, It's but
great thing to inherit the right propor-
tion of faculties to start with.
That man is rich who has good dis
position-who is naturally kind, patient
cheerful, hopeful, and who has a flavor o.
wit and fun in his composition. The
hardest thing to get along with in this
life is mans OWL self. A cross, selfsl
fellow, desponding aud complaining fol
Iowa timid care burdcned man.-thesi
have all been deformed on the inside
Their feet may not limp but their Thoughts

A Striking Illustration.

Many years ago assault ana battery,

showing up the divine in fantastical colors.
The court was crowded, aud the revenge

rapture over the fine opportunity which
was about to present itself for repayipg
the preacher in his own currency. Elder
Gilruth vas a man of athletic prop ortiOns,

stateliness and dignity of field officer,
and as he took his place upon the witness
stand all eyes were turned upon him. In
his simple, unostentatious manner, he re-
