SAYING GRAcE.-A good story is told of
An eccentric old gentleman who, although
occasionally addicted to the habit of swear
ing, was still punctilious in regard to saying
grace at his table, and this duty be never
omitted on any occasion.
The story runs that on a certain occasion
the old gentleman invited sea captain, n
Jolly old wealher-beaen tar of his acquain-
lance, to dine with him. They sat down to
dinner. and the old gentleman, according to
custom, commenced saying grace; but the
captain, whose attention had been diverted
for the moment, hearing the old gentleman
speak, thought he was addressing him, and
turning to him, said.
"What did you say, squirrel"
"Whv, d-n it, man, Fm saving grace.'

Victory or Death.

There was a review Of division Of troons
somewhere In Texas, no matter where MANY
OF the troops were new. but all did exceed
1ngly we'll. After the review. the General
had the commissioned officers formed about
him, and made them a speech, ia which he
told them that the troops were of the best
material he had ever seen They had done
we'll, aud it would be the fault of the officer,
before him if they dill not do better. After
touching on various topics connected with
their position, he wound up with the assur-
ance that it was his conscientious conviction
that every Confederate officer and soldier
who was killed in battle in performance OF
bis duty would ascend straight to heaven.
Among the officers was Lieutenant J. w.
Fields. OF Eastern Texas, Methodist preach,
er, and withal a gentleman of talent, a scholar
and Christian. On the next Sabbath he
had bis regiment assembled, as usual, for
religious services. In his sermon he spoke
to them rs follows:
my hearers: hold a commission as Leu
tenant in the Confederate army. The com.
mission entails duties upon me which | am
proud to perform, and which shall endeavor
to perform with credit to myself But
bold II higher commission than this. 1t is
FROM the King of Heaven. And that com
mission entails upon me the duty to fearlesslv
speak the truth to dying men You heard
what General Magruder said in his speech
the other day. | believe him to be good
soldier, and if we follow him on the field of
battle, assure you he will lead us on to
victory. But if we follow him after death,
he will certainly lead US straight to hell"

it, he remarked:

A QUEER SroRY.-An Eastern paper says
that woman, living 10 Mercer, c. W, has
for four years past been afflicted with siDgu-
lar difficulty in her stomach. Her complaint
has until within short time past bafled the
skill ofpbysicians. The complaint commenced
about four years since with tickling and un-
easy sensation about the pit of her stomach.
This same sensation has continued to increase
in severity from that time. a few months
since it became the iDcontrovertible opinion of
the most skillful physicians, that the increasing
difficulty has been the growth of snake in the
stomach. 1t has grown so large now, that it
distends the stomach so as to produce bunch
upon the outside as large as quart bowl.
Upon pressing this bunch with the hand, the
reptile recoils and produces great distress.
When fish or meat is being cooked in the
room, if the snake is not satisfied with food, it
rises up the throat, producing strangulatou.
Physicians see no way in which ii can be re
moved, without certain death 10 the woman
Mrs Iyirs is about thirty five years of age, and
is, of course, feeble in health uow but is around

Not in the GreciAn Isles,
Not where the bright flowers of nyssus shine.

Conld match with thine.
Not where the golden glow
OF Itlay's deep sky IS pure and clear,
Not where the beautous wsves Of Lenan aos.
Hast thou thy peer.
Not where the sunlight falls
On bright Circassia through the perfumed sir.
Nor in old Stamboul's oriental halls,
Dwells one 50 fair.
No tabled form OF old,
Not hers who rose from ont the foaming sea.
Though deemed more fair than aught of earthly
mould,
Transcribed thee.
In thy dark eyes a spell
OF beauty fingers, but their glance of fire,
When thy proud spirit is aroused, might quell
The lions ire.
Thou movest foatiugy
As the light cloud that To III, zephyr yields,
But with a step proud as a queens might be
Ger conquered fields.
And thou hast that strange gift,
The gift of genns, high and proud and strong,
At whose behcst thoughts, beautiful and swift
Around thee throng.
They come TO thee from far
From air and earth and oceans soundless deeps
They rush in glory from each shining star
On Heavens blue sleeps.
They leap from earth's far bound
Forth from the red volcanoes depths they start
From bow and cloud they foa,-and gather round
Thy burning heart.
Then at thy high command
They stand all marshaled in thy peerless lay,
As some great warrior marshals his proud hand
In bright array.
Thy hand has power to trace
Words as enduring you planets Game,
Words that forever mid changing race,

GENUS AND MEDIoCRIrY.-Ea of US has

every one is not therefore to be condemned
who is not of this type, and who is not in the
popular acceptation practically useful. The
uses of mediocrity are for every day life; and
the uses of genius, amidst thousand mistakes
which mediocrity never commits, are to sug-
gest and perpetnate ideas which raise the stan
dard of the mediocre to nobler level There
would be fewer good men of practical sense,
