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 Sth, 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 cur friends On the right, and
routed the enemy SO completely that be fed
Ike dust before hurr cane. Aad so 1t arjU
oJcays be phen traitors, set}uced by selfish
leaders and prosecuted by the paags Of an
eUI conscience, ore fighting against so diers
arh0 detead q good cause are well drilled ard
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 necess- ry."
The words in italics tell the story Of this
war. The South are demcraiizad beyond
oil hope OF redemption. They fight as men
always contend in wicked cause, hopeless>
y, tim0rously, under the ban of conscience
which stamps their souls with cowardice.
They lack even that reck less vaior of des
peration, by which bad men have sometimes
ruined themselves and their enemies iogeth
er. Such men cannot stand up against the
defenders and advocates OF good cause.

sible for this work of destruction ! Six
southern Senators, standing there and re-
fusing to record their votes. If the Crit

would have been deprived OF pretext for
their treason. Jadah Benjamin, sneaking
thief and perjuror, and an uncOnscionable
traitor, was seated near me while the vote
was being taken. l told him it was bis

An nfatuation-deirium seems to have

Up and at 1t!

Brother Farmers! the war has called
thousands from our ranks since the last seed
time. The places of our brethren 10 the
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. 1t 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 so much in re.
gard to corn and oats, but if a good crop
OF wheat is expected it must be in before
the frost is out of the ground. 1t is true a
good crop may be had if sowed late, but
there is nothing certain about it.-Glsncoe

Sudden Love and IIasty Wedding.

The Cleveland Herald tells the following
story of a love adventure which took place
in that city on Thursday last. The Herald
says:
On Tuesday, a young, pert, and good
looking dansel 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
"WhereWlth' TO purchase ticket to the
place. Lamenting her sad fae she made
inquiry after tie superintendent of the
Lake Shore railroad, for the purpose of pc
tltioniDg for pass.
A young man who had also come IN on
the: cars overheard the inquiries O: the
young woman, turned to her, and at once
Cupid, wicked little rascal,
Took an arrow from his culver,
"DreW adj upon his victim
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 be
would be going that way. The young
lady accepted his kind offer. The attentive
cavalier at once called a carriage, and took
his fair charge up town to dine ard rest
until train time.
Wednesday morning the two again made
their appearance at the depot. A brief,
but doubtless deeply interesting converse.
ton took place in the waiting room. The
result was that the young man hastily con.
suited his watch and then sought out Depot
Master Clark Warren. A few words pass
sed, and in brief space after, Justice Fol.
jamie hurriedIy arrived at the depot and
entered the waiting room. The couple
stood up. Justice Foljambe adjusted bis
glasses. Our porty 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 bis parting
benediction, wiped his eyes and blew his
nose. The train started, and the parties in
this genuine case of "love at first sight,"
were whirled away to Erie, where they
make short stop on their way to Roches.

IMPUDENT ROBBERY,


From the St. Louis Republican of March %.
On Wednesday evening spruce and
genteel person, dressed in uniform and wear
ing the insignia of sergeant appeared at
the office of the provost guard, on Sixth
street, gave his name as Reed, and presented
an order for detail of six men to 90 with
him on very important and urgent business.
The order bore the name of Captain George
f. Leighton, in whose service Reed claimed
to be. Major Mcdonnell, in charge of tine
Office, examined the order, and finding it to
be irregular, declined to furnish the men /;
and that was the last of Reed until yester.
day morning, when ne repaired to the same
place, and 10 the absence of Major McCon
nell, produced an order similar to that of
the night before. Lieutenant Ashton, who
was acting in the Majors place, thought
the document rather strange one under
the circumstances, and believing it to be
bogus, as it really was, refused to accede to
Reeds wishes, making some Endorsement on
the back of the order, referring it back to
Captain Leighton.
But Reed was not to be put off by two
failures. He had got his head Ga certain
project and was determined to persist until
perseverance was OF no longer avail. Tear
ing up the second order as be did tbs first
be wrote another directed to the captain Of
Wisconsin company at Camp Benton, and
to see that it was promptly delivered he

Meanwhile Reed remained in charge Of the

that the arrested parties have been released.
