keeper that neighbor OF his entrusted him
with some money to be spent to the best adj

He had been very we'll treated in Boston
by the traders and would not part with his

would treat him about right. With the ut

" My neighbor handed me two cents when

QUEER-Singuar things occur in war times.
The following is queer enough to be recorded.
When Harper's Ferry was surrendered, the
Rebels, of course, took possession of all the
movable property there, except the clothing
Of the paroIed prisoners The paroled officers
and men being destitute of transportation, bor-
rowed of Stonewall jackson twenty one wag-
ons and teams. only few honrs previously the
property of Uncle Sam. The loan was ac-
companied with the stipulation that the wag-
ons and teams should be returned They will
leave here for Gen. M'Clellau's headquarters,
whence they will be sent, under flag of truce
to the Rebel lines On the whole, though Of
course according to rules. this strikes US as be-
ing a very noteworthy proceeding.

called at the general delivery.

The ohliginF postmaster, after Dennis had
unSeaed the letter, complied with the request
and read it from date to signature.

walking off without it.
Mr.. H. began to think himself the victim

The wide awake postmaster had reasOna

As soon as the IriShman handed over the
money, Mr.. H. gave him the same letter that
had been read on the former occasion. The

" ANGEL WHISPERS"

Ihave heard them when the moonlight,
Rested down so pale and still
With a wierd, strange kind of beauty
Der the vale and distant hill;
Der my heart they stole as softly
As poets golden dream
Till almost caught the splendor,
OF white wings silver CLEAN.
have heard their soothing voices,
In the twilght's" wtching hour
When fancied they were speaking
Through some dew bespangled flower;
And I've heard them in the sad wind,
Signing thro' the old elm tree
As gently as soft music,
Floating DER the summer sea.
have heard them whispering softly
In the wildwood, old and dim
And hear them in the carol
OF the spring-bird's vesper hymn;
Whcne'er pause to listen
To the voice of Nature, there
hear the Angel whispers
Murmaring softly, everywhere.
Oh! the gentle Angel breathings,
To my spirit ever brings,
\ calm as sweet and soothing
is the rustic of their wings!
And they always bear me upward.
To the meadows green and bright
Where III see the glorious Angels
Whispering in 4 world Of Light.
