And sure enough when spring came, and my

"Jewell, last winter there was man told me
in Iowa, that to pour boiling water on black
onion seed would sprout them In one minute.
Suppose you try it ?"
"Very weli,' said he And taking the tea
kettle boiling from the stove, he poured the
water thus boiling on the seed, which he had
in a tea-saucer. Looking closely at it mo-
ment, he exclaimed, my conscience You
have told rightly. Only look there"
looked, and behold, the little sprouts about
as large as horse hairs were shooting out of
the opened ends of the seeds. He did not re-
tain the water on the seed above three seconds,
and in less than One-h0!f minute after it was
poured of, the sprouts were projecting from the

A BIG THING ON THE Hum GUARDS
The war is prolific in humorous speeches as
well as bloody honors. For instance, brave
volunteer is introduced by the following:
Rev. Mr.. -, man about six feet four in
his stockings, and of proportions worthy q
grenadier, and whose heart is as stout as his
frame, a thorough Union man, and who is in
for war until all treason is thoroughly crushed
out, was recently conducting religious con-
ference meeting, when brother arose to speak,
who, after alluding to his hopes and fears in a
religious point of view, branched out in refer
ence to the state of the country, saying that
so great was his devotion to the Stars and
Stripes that he had enlisted; and, after few
further patriotic remarks, begged an interest
in the prayers of the church, that he might be
protected by Divine Providence on the battle
field, and that il he should fall a victim to the
bullets of the enemy, he might be prepared for
the change.
Such speech at any time would thrill with
patriotic fervor the brave heart of our worthy
minister, and he consequently spoke a few
words of encouragement TO the hero, when
the wife of the enlisting soldier volunteered
her experience, in the course of which, allud-
ing TO her husbands enlistment, she expressed
Willingness TO give up, even unto death, in
the service Of his country.
In a few moments after the meeting came to
an end, when the minister, all anxiety for the
welfare of the patriotic volunteer, proceeded TO
make some inquiries in reference to his regi-
ment, commencing with the very natural ques-
ton as TO its name and number, when he re-
ceived the startling reply
