SITUATIONS REVERSED-AC COL0RED SOL
DER GUARDING HIS FORMER MASTER.
A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Commercial,
with the Army of the Oumh erland, narrates the
following incident: ..
A certain wealthy old planter who used to
govern u precinct in Alabama, in a recent skir-
msh was taken prisoner and at late hour
brought into camp, where guard was placed
over him The arisiocratic rebel, suppOsng
everything was all right-that he was secure
enough any way as prisoner Of war-as COM
mttee OF the WHOLE resolved himself into s'sleep's
dead slumber." Awakening about midnight, to
fnd the moon shining full into his face, he
chanced to inspect his guard" when, horror Of
horrors, that soldier was a negro And, worse
than all, he recognized in that towering form,
slowly and steadily walking beat, one efAis otcn
slapfs!
Human nature could not stand that; the pri-
soner was cnragel, furious, and swore he would
not Addressing the guard through clenched
teeth, foaming at the mouth, he yelled out'
a. Sambo"
Well, massa.'
Send for the colonel to come here Immediate
ly My own slave can mover stand guard over
me it's id outrage; no gentlemen would
submit to it,"
Laughing in his sleeve, the dark faced soldier
pr=mptly called out, corp1 de guard !"
That dgnitary appeared, and presently the
colonel followed
After listening to the Southerner's impassoned
haiangue, which was full of inVeotives, the
colonel turned to the negro with,
Sam :"
eyes, Colonel"
"You know this gentleman do your"
cob course; he's Massa b., and has big PLAN
tation in Alabam'"
We'll, Sam, just take care OF him to night !"
and the officer walked away.
As the sentinel again paced his heat, the gen
tlewan from Alabama appealed to him il On
argument.
Listen, Sambol" !"
"You husb dar; it's done gone talkin' to you
now. Hush, REBEL" was the negro's emphatic
command, bringing down his musket to a charge
bayonet position by way Of enforcing silence.
The nabob was now a slave-his once valued
negro the master and think you, as he sank
back upon blanket in horror and shame that
night, that he believed human bondage was

Reading in the Pulpit.

We were riding to the city the other day,
with one OF our most liberal and intelligent
Presbyterian laymen, when the conversation
turned upon the way in which the Scriptures
and Hymns are ordinarily read from the pull
pit He maintained with force OF eloquence,
merchant as he is, which wonld have been an
honor to any profession, that the training of
the human voice, in its application TO public
reading aud speaking, is one Of the urgent ne
cessities in ali Theological Seminaries. He
could not comprehend how it was that schools,
founded TO give the churches an educated
ministry, should SO utterly fail In making them
good readers and speakers. He Illustrated
ths prevailing habit of reading hymns, as an
example OF his meaning; and We wish every
minister Of our denomination, to say nothing
OF others, could have heard this cultivated
man show how the very life is taken out of our
best lyric poetry, and the most affecting pas
sages Of the Scriptures, by the unexpressive
reading which they get 10 most of the pulpits
OF all denominations X, Eran,iner. IA

Ma. KINMAN, who presented the elkhorn
Il chair to Mr.. Lincoln, on Saturday, informed
the President that he had another little article
with him, q fiddle manufactured from the
skull OF favorite mnley which, when alive, ap.
peared to have music in his soul, as he would
always lurk around the camps on the plains
whenever he heard the music OF fiddle. So
after the mule. had been dead sometime, and
as Mr.. K. was passing his bleached bones one
day, the idea struck him that there might be
something in these bones. He accordingly
picked up the skull and took 1t home, from
which he manufactured the fiddle, and after
ward returned and procured one OF the ribs
and some OF the HAIR of the tail, from which
the bow was made. ~ g~s's9so ~
7s5 Mr.. Kinman then played Essence of Old
3 Virginia. and "John Brown" much to the
amusement of Mr.. Lincoln and the spectators.
The rifle presented TO Mr.. Lincoln, with which
the elks, from whose horns the chair was
made, were killed, is the identical piece with
which the British General Packenham was
killed in 1916, at New Orleans, by Briggs, and
was subsequently carried through the Black
Hawk war by Kinmans father, who was in a
company In which the President served in
that war. - sa41q n9 3I8AdoaGE wo
