clerks s-Charles Williams and Richard p.

Of that village. They were intimate

however, in the relations Of the trio Hop

tauque county, and Williams to New York
where, after years Of clerkship, he went
into business and was successful. Many
years afterwards Hopkins failed, and be-
came first clerk, and then partner OF
Williams in New York. Some fifteen
years ago, Mr. Williams married the
daughter Of Mr.. Hopkins, his early rival,
and the daughter. also, of his fsst attech:

Singular Spectacle in Battle.

At the battle of Stone River. while the
men were lying behind crest waiting, a
brace of frantic wild turkeys, SO paralyzed
with fright that that they were incapable of
flying, ran between the lines, and endeav-
ored to hide among the men. But tho fren-
zy among the turkeys was not as touching
as the exquisite fright Of the birds and rab-
bits. When the roar OF battle rushed
through the cedar ,hickots, flocks of little
birds Huttered and crcled above the field in
state of utter bewiIdorment, and scores OF
rabbits fled for protection to our men lying
down in limo on the left, nesting under
their coats and creeping under their legs in
a state of utter distraction. They hoped
over the field like toads, and as perfectly
tamod by fright as household pets. Many
officers witnessed it, remarking it as one OF
the most singular spectacles ever seen upon
q battlefield.

WHOLE NO.7
Loyalty and Allegiance.

Bcipg so nearly natural or close to nature,
the loyal sentiment is of course FREQ. Al
legance may be compelled loyalty is
volunteer devotion, else IL is nothing. Ono
requires to be watched, the other keeps watch
itself for the nation. To make sure of one,
may require legal or court. martial investi-
CATION the other goes by hearts. full, al
ways out in its evidences never ambiguous.
A man stuck fast in TIE intrigucs, and
swayed by the clanship Of party, will con-
strive to maintain dastardly and mean al
legiance, arguing, it may be, for the Con-
stituton, with only pretended concern,
when he has no appetite, in fact but for
some party victories deploring the wrongs
of the magistrate in power, when really ho
is only feeding bis appetite on them and
asserting what be calls bis sacred right of
speech, only to stir up faction, even 10 the
critical hour of the nations peril. But,
where there is true soul Of loyalty, pa
tience with the miscarriages and even the
supposed wrongs Of government, slowness
to accuse, readiness to postpone accusations
that might be too hastily made-anytbing
almost will be yielded for the time, that
may fortify The cause of the nation and give
it victory. Conscious of party afiini,ics,
swayed by strong, possibly just prejudices
against the ruling administration, there will
yet be such nobility of feeling in the true
loyal citizen, as allows him never to bear a
look of sympathy, or suffer suspicion Of
connivance, with disorder and rebellion.
How far the loyal sentiment reaches, and
how much it carries with it, or after it, must
also be noted. 1t yields up willingly, hus-
bands, fathers, brothers. and sons, consent
ing to the chance of home always doso-
late. 1t offers body and blood, and life, on
the altar of its devotion. 1t is, in fact,
political worship, offering to seal itself by
martyrdom in tho field. Wonderful, grand
ly honorable fact, that human nature can
be lifted by inspiration SO high, even in tho
fallen state of wrong and evil.-R q. Dr..
BuskRell.
