"V-e-t Vet" What does it mean
Upon yon soldiers faded coat +?
His hand is hard and rough and brown,
see a scar along his throat.
His eyes seem looking far off still,
His close-shut mouth is grim.
''Mother, what means that little word,
Upon a sleeve so worn and dim z"
1t means, my child, that rugged hand,
Has welded musket long and well;
Has sent the iron thunder home,
And tuned the song of screeching shell,
1t means-that steady, staunch and true
He fairly won that ragged scar,
While you and I sat safe at home,
And read the news about the war
What wonder if the mouths grim,
That said so many swift ''good-by's :"
Life's common words are idle breath,
Beside those earnest battle cries.
What wonder if the gaze is dim,
And oEder strangely fingers yet:
The eye that has looked straight at Death,
His image may not soon forget.
And this is what it means, to earn
The title t'veteran," on a coat;
To march through food and field, or lie
Where rebel rifles sweep the moat
To serve the guns in rife pits
To sleep beneath the silent sky;
To dream of home and wake to war
To see comrade drop and die.
To hear and heed the fearful song,
Which whistling Minnie bullets sing
To faint and fall, and longing he
For one cool draught from rocky spring.
And this, my child, is what it says,
That little word of letters three;
Go clasp his hand, and give him thanks,
For battles fought for you and me.

BGy- j. II. Woodward, a young man.
resident in this State, and at one time
Adjutant of an Indiana regiment, was
called out at recent "peace" meeting
somewhere, and responded as follows:
N'Gentlemen: The great cry that | have
heard today has been peace, peace. 1
tell you there is no man in the nation who
desires peace more than [ do-a perma-
nent, lasting peace. And, gentlemen, |
will tell you how we viii get it. Fight
this war out Take every negro in the
rebel States, and exterminate every id
rebel, no matter where you find him
Kisses Gentlemen, you need not try
to hiss me down, for | am an old soldier,
and l have faced almost as mean looking
a crowd as is now before me. ! mean the
thieves aud bushwhackers of Tennessee.
L know that | was called upon to make a
speech Eere out Of derision, but intend
to tell you what | think of you.
''When God said he would save Sodom
If ten righteous men could be found there,
[ have no doubt He would have done it !;
and, to-day, if you all stood upon the brink
OF hell, and He were to say that He would
save you if one loyal, patriotic man could
be found among you, l have not the least
doubt there would be great many strange
faces in hell FOR supper.
''Gentlemen, when you wish to hear
from me again, you have only to call upon
me. L am always at home."

SJ- A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman, seasonably reminds us that
many fruits may be preserved with little
or DO sugar lie says: "Currants, goose
berries, peaches and pears require no SUI
gar to preserve them. Raspberries and
blackberries do not require more than
four ounces of sugar to pound of fruit,
and strawberries but little more We
have now the different kinds, nearly as
fresh and good as when first gathered
Put them up the same as if you used the
usual quantity of sugar; that is, expel the
cold air by heating the fruit after it is
placed in the jars, by setting the jars in
cold water, which heat to boiling. The
jars that we use are self-sealiDg, with zinc
covers, which can be screwed on before the
jar is removed from the hot water. We
have never lost jar of fruit put up in
them.

sea- A Petersburg correspondence of the
Philadelphia Press says few days since
Gen. Grant was walking around the docks
at City Poiut, when he stopped to see
some negroes roll barrel of bacon on
board a boat. The negroes were unable
to move it, when a crusty lieutenant, who
stood near, dressed in his fine blue clothes,
shouted, 'You d-j, niggers, push harder,
or go get another man to help you," with
out saying word, Gen. Grant pulled up
his sleeves and helped the negroes roll
the barrel on the boat; then lie drew his
silk handkerchief from his pocket and
wiping his hands, moved quickly away
You may imagine how this second Lieu
tenant felt when he was told that the
stevedore was no less than the Command
er-in-Chief of the United States armies
The General was dressed in coarse home
spun, with his hat drawn over his eyes,
and one of the most unpTetending looking
personages one could imagine.

OF the whole command he says; "lhe men
all did their duty aud laid up for themselves
impcrishahle honors.'
Throughout the expedition | am rcioicei
to say perfect harmony and good will pre-
vailed between the White aud Indian troops,
all striving for the common good of our be-
loved country.
For gallantry, energy, enterprise, dash
ii judgement, and completeness o success,
this raid has not been surpassed during the
war.
The Major General Commanding deems
ihis>a fitting occasion to say that not the
least of the glorious results of this splendid
achievement, is tue increased good will of
the Indian aud white troops towards each
other, and the increased cheerfulness and
confidence of all in their prowess, and abil-
ity to whip anything like equal numbers.
ThrOught the year the MORALE of the COM
mand has been steadily on the increas. For
the Troops of tie Indian Territory, this has
been u year Of brilliant success Your Ar
kansas Campaign il part of the recorded
history of the country.
Since your return, almost every part of
the command has been engaged.
A steam boat laden with valuable stores
has been captured. Regiment has been al
most demolished in sight of the guns OF Fort
Smith the survivors captured and the camp
destroyed.
Many guns and pistols have been taken;
mail after mail has been captured, hay
camps almost without number have been
destroyed and the hay burned; horses mules
aud cattle have been wrcstel from the en-
emy md driven into our lines. Vast a.
mounts of Suffers Stores have been captur.
ed. Wagons have burned n gun shot of
Fort Smith; the enemy has been virtually
locked up in his Forts, and your successes
have cuminatcd in this most glorious vic
tory, over which the Telegraph informs US
the enemy is mOw wailing.
In our reiocings let us not forget our gal
liant comrades in arms who have offered up
their lives upon their country altar OF
Freedom, priceless sacrifices to their coun-
try's redemption. If there be widows and
orphans of these gallant men seek them out
and deliver this poor tribute to their worth.
And let US remember the sutferings of our
wounded, aud offer them the tears of sym
pathy.
Soldiers There is n cruel enemy still
cursing your country. There is still work
to do. You have proven what you can do
Remember that strict and cheerful obedl-
ence to orders, strict discipline and thor
ough drill, will render you still more ettl-
cient us soldiers of the holy cause. Your
Commanding General has every confidence
in your ability aud willingness to take and
perform any part you may yet have in the
ensuing campaign.

TERRIBLE CATAsTRoPHE IN RUssA.-The
freshly erected cupola crowning the Church
of the Trar sfguration at. st. Petersburg
came down on the 18th ult. with terrible
crash. The loss of life would have been
comparatively limited had not crowds of
townspeople forced an entrance into the ed
iice beyond all control from the police or
military in immediate attendance. The
conclusion created by the falling dome in
short time brought down the whole struc-
ture, overwhelming several hundreds in the
ruins.
