General Grant Looks after the
SOl0lera

As our readers know, General Grant has
issued a special order foi bidding steamboat
men to charge more than five dollars to en-
listed men, and seven dollars to officers, as
tare between Vicksburg and Cairo.
Immediately after Vicksburg had fallen
q large number of steamboats, cleared Cron
northern ports for that place and were in
the habit of charging soldiers going home
on furlOughs from fifteen to thirtv dollars
fare to Cairo. .-' ~
A correspondents Of the Cleveland Herald
relates the following:r L- --.as So
THE steamer Hope had about ]. 600
soldiers and $50 officers on board. en- route
for home on short leave of absence. after
the fatigues of their protraeted camp aigu.
The captain Of the Hope had charged these
men and officers from $40 to SOS spiecs as
fare to Cairo.
IN Just as the boat was about to push of
from the wharf at Viol sbure, an order
came from Gen. Grant Requiring the cauG
tain 70 pay back to his passengers all the
money received By him as fare in excess, of
i've dollars to enlisted men, and eeten dol
lars 70 officers, or submit TO imprisobuneut
:or disobedieDce, and haze bis boat confis-
Gated.
The order was an astonisher 10 the cap.
tain, but the presence of guard rendered
it useless to refuse, and so, amid the shouts
OF the soldiers over Gen. Grants care of
their Interests. he complied with as good
grace as p ssibls, aud paid back the mon

Our informant. himself passenger on
the Hope was present when Gen.. Grant
issued the order above referred to. The
General, upon being Informed of the impo.
sitions being practiced upon furloughed
men and officers, by steamboat men, was
very indignant. i will teach them. if they
need the lesson said the gallant General,
that the mea who have periled their lives
to open the Mississippi river for their
benefit cannot be imposed upon with i'm

WOrIdliness and Pride.

A good old lady who lived in one of

led her friends to church, where her SIM
pie notions were shocked at the wonder
full display of what she called worldliness
and pride. The minister himself did
not ESCAPE her criticism. In the midst
of the sermon, and whilst the old lady
was cogitating on things around her, a
miscbevious crow that had been tanned
and taught to speak, flew in at one of the
open windows, and alighted OF the back
OF a seat in front of one of the aeacons,
looked that functionary in the face, and
exclaimed in a clear aud audible voice
that sent Thrill of horror to the heart of
the old lady, Course you l curse y

THE TRIAL WAY.

The way of life with trials rife
Is, after alt,
So fraught with bliss, compared to this,
The sweetest sin is gall.
This way is high, to heaven nigh,
And narrow, straight HT
And walks throng of joy and song,
And threads the pearly gate.
Heaven is SO near, each sigh and tear, @
Like smiling noon, - IS
Lights pilgrims place with glory's grace,
Makes earth heavenly boon
The works and cares, the aims and prayers,
That press his days.
Amazing love like pearls, above
His mansion home emblaze.
The good that flies, the joy that dies,
The grief instead
Each casts on high hope and tie,
And he is homeward sped.
When death draws near he has no fear,
For faith will form,
To take him higher, d car of fire,
OF deaths dark icy throne.
He vic'ry wins he glory wins,
He breathes its air
And shouts, o Soul faith has the goal,
And hope is anchored there.
