Not A Straggler.

On the morning after the great battle
of Manassas Plains, Sergeant --, of
Go. A, Sixteenth Mississippi regiment,
being barefooted, struggled off from his
command, traversing the battlefield in
pursuit of pair of shoes which some
frightened Yankee might have thrown
away in his fight. After looking for
time in vain, he at last saw pretty good
pair on the pedal extremities of dead
Yankee. He sat down at the feet of the
dead Yankee, pulled off his shoes and put
them on his own feet. Admiring the fit,
and complimenting himself upon this ad-
dition to his marching abilities, he arose,
and with knapsack on his back, and gun
in hand, was about starting to overtake
his regiment, when he observed coming
towards him q small squadron of cavalry,
all of whom, as it was drizzling rain, were
wrapped in their large rubber or oil cloth
overcoats. 1t will be remembered that
the cavalry are frequently assigned to
the duty of picking up stragglers, and
hence there is no good feeling between
the infantry and cavalry. AS they ap-
preached Sergeant --, the foremost
one asked: "What are you doing here,
sir away from your commando?
"That's none of your business" an
sw cred the Sergeant
"You are a straggler, sir, and deserve
the severest punishment"
"Its lie, sir-I am not a straggler-I
only left my regiment few moment ago
to hunt me pair of shoes. went all
through the fight yesterday, and that's
more than you can say-for where were
yon yesterday when Gen. Stuart wanted
your cavalry to charge the Yankees after
we put 'em running? You were lying
back in the pine thickets, and couldn't
be found; but to-day, when there's no
danger, you can come out and charge
other men with struggling"
The cavalryman, instead of getting
mad, seemed to enjoy this raking over
from the plucky little Sergeant, and as
he rode on, laughed heartily at it. AS
the squadron was fling nearly past the
Sergeant one of them remarked: EDO
you know who you are talking to 2"
"Yes-to a cowardly Virginia cavalry
man."
"No, sir-that's Gen. Stuart" ;"
"What?"
"And his staff"
"Thunderation With this exclama-
tion the Sergeant pulled off his hat, and
readjusting it over his eyes, struck dou-
BILE quick on the straightest line for his
regiment.

When the Confederate army was
passing through Cbambersburg, many To-
dies gathered about the doors and win
dows, around the gates and upon the ve-
randall, most of whom were decorated
with Union flags about their PERSONS
One young lady who stood near the
street had tremendous one stretched
across her bosom. One ofHood's Texans
saw it, stopped and leaning his chin upon
the muzzle of his gun, eyed it for few
moments, and then said:
"Miss, advise you to take down that
flag"
"Why; sir?"
"Because these are Hoods men here,
and they are terrible fellows to charge
Yankee breastworks, especially when
they are surmounted by q. S. flag
The young lady vanished.

expressed in the book before you; the
words of truth you heard from the wo-
mans pure lips; it is for you to decide

NOTHING IS LOST.

Nothing is lost; the drop of dew
That trembles on the leaf or flower,
Is but exhaled, to fall anew
In Summers thunder shower;
Perchance to shine within the bow
That fronts the sun at fall of day
Perchance to sparkle in the flow
Of fountains far away.
Nought lost, for even the tiniest seed,
By wild birds borne, on breezes blown,
Finds something suited to its need,
Wherein tits sown and grown;
Perchance finds sustenance and soil
In some remote and desert place,
Or mid the crowded home of toll,
Sheds usefulness and grace
The little drift of common dust,
By the March winds disturbed and tossed
Though scattered by the ftful gust,
Is changed, but never lost;
1t may yet bear some sturdy stem,
Some proud oak, battling with the blast,
Or crown with verduous diadem
Some ruin of the past.
The furnace quenched, the flame put out,
Still cling to earth or soar in air,
Transformed, diffused and blown about,
To burn again elsewhere;
Haplv to make the beacon blaze,
That CLEANS athwart the briny waste,
Or light the social lamp, whose rays
Hume the home of taste.
The touching tones of minstrel art,
The breathing of some mournful flute,
Which we have heard with listening heart,
Are not extinct when mute:
The language of some household song,
The perfume of some cherished flower,
Though gone from outward sense, belong
To memory's after hour.
So with our words, or harsh, or kind,
Uttered, they are not all forgot,
But leave some trace upon the mind;
Pass on, yet perish not
AS they are spoken, so they fall
Upon the spirit spoken to;
scorch it like drops of burning gall,
Or soothe like honey-dew.
So with our deeds, for good or ill
They have their power, scarce understood
Then let use our better will
To make them rife with good
Like circles on lake they go,
Ring within ring, and never stay;
Oh that our deeds were fashioned so
That they might bless Away
Then, since these lesser things neer die,
But work beyond our poor control,
Say, shall that suppliant for the sky
The greater human soul?
All, no. it still will spurn the past,
And search the future for its rest,
Joyful if it be found at last,
'Mong the redeemed and blest.

The following beautiful rehectio

= The following beautiful reflection
is going the rounds of the press: "I 1t can
not be that earth is cast up by the ocean
of eternity to float moment upon its
waves and to sink to nothingness. Else
why is it that the high and glorious aspira-
tious which leap from the temple of our
hearts are forever wandering about un-
satisfied? Why is it that the rainbow and
cloud come over us with beauty not of
earth, and then pass off and leave us to
muse upon their faded loveliness? Why
is it that the stars, who hold their festival
around the midnight throne, are set above
the grasp of our limited faculties, forever
mocking us with their unapproachable
glory? And, finally. why is it that bright
er forms of human beauty are presented
to our view, then taken from us-leaving
the thousand streams of our affections to
flow in Alpine torrents upon our hearts !?
We are born for higher destiny than
that of earth; there is arealm where the
rainbow never fades, where the stars will
be spread out before us like islands that
slumber on the ocean, and where the beau
tiful which begins here, and passes before
us like shadows, will stay in our posses
sion forever"

AT best life is not very long. A
few more smiles, a few more tears, some
pleasure, much pain, sunshine and song,
cloud and darkness, hasty greetings, ab-
rupt farewells-then our little play will
close, and injured and injurer will pass
away. Is it worth while to hate each
other?

A RAcY Decentralization treatise

A RAcY Decentralization treatise
on races, we quote a paragraph or SO:
fatter myself that 1 know something
about the horse race. 1 had passion
for horse racing when lad, and used to
run horses with neighbor's boy in Tomp-
kins' lane. How wildly do 1 recall my
last racel I rode the Governors grass
fed mare-a sorrel roam, if l remember
correctly, with two white feet in the fore
head. She was little foundercd in one
eye but, with one exception something
like a watermelon on each knee, her in
tellect was unimpaircd. She was sired by
Canal Horse and Id by every one
who drove her. Ncighbors boy rode Il
cream colored chestnut, with spring halt,
to harness. On the home stretch, l was
a neck and half shoulder blade behind,
gently encouraging the old mare to do
her level best, by the application of a
corn cutter to her aged ribs. The limp
which she had in her eye prevented her
taking clear view Of a heap of cobbe-
stones in the lane, and when she struck
them there was q stumble, a catter of
stones, horse-shoes and old bones, and the
old mare wrecked, and no insurance.
I was picked up, bleeding and insens-
Bile, and made the remainder of the home
stretch on stretcher-coming in under
blanket. The race was decided in my
favor. The judges allowed, although [
was neck behind when the old mare
stumbled, yet, as L escaped without my
neck being broken, l came out aneck ahead.
