Important to Discharged Soldiers.

1t is or ought to be known to soldiers
who go to Washington to get arrears OF
pay aud bounty, that the cost of trans
portatlon to and from that city is deduc
ted from their accounts This deduction.
the Pittsburg Chronicle says, can be
saved to the soldier by enclosing eert6-
Gates of discharge and blank vouchers,
signed, to Col. Frank Jordan. the Penn.
sylvania State Agent at Washington.
Such accounts can be collected without
the presence of the soldier, and when
ever the papers are dispatched as herein
stated, Col. Jordan will see that all ac-
counts thus entrusted for settlement to
his department are collected, and the
sums received Immediately remitted to
the soldiers

A Good Story.

A tall Sucker volunteer who is in s
northern city son detached service" hay
ing lost his health, and havi ng but little
faith in the skill of army surgeons, called
upon Doctor s., resident practi.
toner, for treatment The Doctor gave
the case careful examination, and wrote
out couple of prescriptions, which he
handed the soldier, at the same time Civ
ing the necessary directions as to diet,
etc. Being asked for his bill, the physi-
clan blandy answered, Fifteen dollars,
Sir" Our boy in blue opened his eyes
pretty wide at the (to him fabulous price
of the slips of paper, but slowly drew the
greenbacks and counted out the amount
Going to the nearest apothecary's he
handed in the mystical papers, and the
compounds were speedily made up and
given to the soldier, with the iutimation
that "two and half was expected as an
equivalent.
"Why," said our friend the Sucker,
81 just paid an old feller fifteen dollars
for that stuff"
"lou paid the Doctor for the prescrip-
ton" replied the vender of pills "this
is for the medicine"
81 tell you I paid that old chap fifteen
dollars, and [ won't pay another cent
Now you just leave these bottles right
here, and give me the prescription, and if
that secesh sawbones don't make it all
right I'll break his head for him."
So taking the prescription and assum-
ing an air of injured indignation he pro-
ceeded to the office of DR.. s., Mar
ching straight up to that gentleman, he
addressed him
"Look here, old feller, didn't I pay you
fifteen dollars for this ere rag ?"
" Yes, sir-yes, sir" says Medicus.
"Well, this pill-shop man down here
wants to make me pay two and a half
more"
''That is right, my friend. You see 1
only charge you for the prescription the
medicine is extra"
"AIedicine d! You fellers wants to skin
a feller because he's soldier! You
can't come it over me, though-I'm a
veteran Now you just give me back
my fifteen dollars and take your old pre-
scription p
The Doctor disgorged the money, and
our Illinois Yankee threw down the pres
cription in disgust before him, and, with
twinkle in his eye, left the office.
This little financial transaction over,
our friend went straightway to the drug
store, and with satisfied expression told
the druggist that he would pay for that
medicine now he had fixed it all up with
the doctor and forking over the requisite
sum he left.
Upon comparing notes with the drug
gist few days after, DR.. S-was ap-
prised of the sell that had been practieed
on him, and the joke soon became known,
but to this day he is decidedly sensitive
on the subject of his military practice

Winter will not last Forever.

Winter will not last forever:
Spring will soon come forth again,
And, with flowers of every color,
Deck t he hillside and the plain.
Lambs will soon in fields be sporting,
Birds re-echo from each tree
"Winter's gone its days are ended!
We are happy-we are free!"
Hedge and tree will soon be budding,
Soon with leaves be covered o'er;
Winter cannot last forever;
Brighter days are yet in store.
Sorrows will not last forever,
Joy our every grief succeeding,
AS the sunshine after rain.
AS the snow and ice of winter,
Melt at the approach of Spring,
So will all our cares and trials,
Joy, and peace and comfort bring,
When the heart is sad and dropping,
Think, though you be vexed sore,
Sorrows cannot last forever;
Brighter days are yet in store.
