MANY years ago, at dinner party in Glas-
Cow, there was present a lawyer of rather
sharp practice, fond of giving toasts or SEN
timents Alter the cloth was removed, and
the bottle had gone round once or twice, the
ladies withdrew to the lighter pleasures of
the drawing room-all bnt one very plain
old maid. She remained behind and the
conversation began to get a little masculine.
onr friend of the long robe was anxious to
get rid of the ''ancient.' g and for this pur-
pose rather prematurely asked Thumbs the
privilege of giving toast. This being grant
ed, he rose and gave the old toast of Hon
est men and bonny lasses." The toast was
drank with all honor, when the dame, who
was sitting next the lawyer, rose from her
seat, gave the lawyer poke in the ribs with
one end of her finger, and after having said,
- Mr.. that toast neither applies to you
nor me, left the room.

LAST MOMENTS OF GALLANT GENERAL
Who can reflect without sadness on the clos
ing moments of the gallant General Neil p
His life long dream had been to obtain the
little ribbon of Marshal of France He coul.l
not sleep after seeing it conferred on McMa-
hon, as reward of valor in the battle of Ma
genta. Before the next engagement, he told
his friends that this time he would win the
prize he so much coveted. The conflict was
over, and they sought him anxiously upon
the CORY field. They found him almost crush
ed beneath his dying war horse, and the prac-
ticed eye of the surgeon told him that life
would soon be over. Word was sent to the
Emperor, who quickly arrived. and taking
from his own breast the badge of the Marshal
of France, he placed it above the heart of his
faithful follower. The dream was realized.
and with single throb of exu)tant joy and
gratitude, he threw his arms about the neck
of his sovereign-the next instant he fell back
in the embrace of stronger King.

The Romance of War.


There was quite romantic little incident
which occurred in connection with the re-
cruiting Of Capt Beardman's company.
which deserves at least passing notice
While Lieut. Grannis was in the full excite
ment of recruitingat Strawberry Point, Clay
ton county, last week, smooth faced boy
came into the village and proceeded immedi
ately to the recruiting office, enlisted. giving
his name as Williams, and his age eighteen.
Although his cheeks were as fair as a girls,
his clear eye denoted health end endurance
sufficient for a ldier's life. After the COM
pany was filled, and they had repaired to
Manchester for the purpose of taking the cars,
suspicious were thrown out that young Will
liam was sailing under false colors. Good
judges of the human form divine fancied that
the clothes fitted too close in some places, and
were too loose in others, for masculinity. The
good citizens of Manchester gave the compa-
ny complimentary ball, .snd there various
sharp ones compared notes as to the affairs of
the handsome volunteer, and the universal
conclusi n was that he, she, OF it, was girl
disguised as a boy. This matter was submit
ted to company of ladies, and they agreed
to an examination, and ascertain from pI1fs-
ical proofs whether it was a lady or gera{e
