their surrender:
HEADQUARTERS GrBsoN's BRIeAps !
Near Meridian, Miss, May 9Th, 1865. I !
festoao SoL0lerS-For more than four years We
have shared together the fortunes of wdr.
throughout all the scenes of this eyentful reyoh
ton you have been fully tried and now retire will
the consciousness of having achieved character
Tor discipline, for valor and for unseltish and da
prOud.
There is nothing in your course to look bach
upon with regret. You have always been in front
of the enemy. You have never feasted in sof
places at the rear and fought imaginary battles
comfortable firesides Your banners are garandet
with the emblem of every sOldierly virtue. More
than twenty battle fields have seem them unfurled
they have never been lowered save over the bier
OF eomrade.
Forget not the good and true men who have
fallen. No seulptured marble may perpetuate the
memory of their services but you will wear theil
names ever green in your hearts, and they shall be
enshrined forever in the affections of the Southern
people in whose caHse they fell.
Comrades, hencelorth other duties will deYolVe
upon you. No adversely can sever the ties that
bind you to your country, nor diminish the sacred
obligations you owe to its interest and its honor
As soldiers you have been amongst the hravest
and most steadtast; rs citizens, be orderly, peace
full and industrious.
You separate not as friends merely, but as
bIetneInI whom common nOp6ss mutual Trials auC
equal disasters, have made kindsmen.
Hereafter, you shall recall these rugged days
with pride, and you will always greet comrade
oil the old brigade with open arms.
Having commanded company and regiment in
the brigade, have known many of you from the
very beginning have been with you, and offer tC
each one of you at parting the tribute of my gra
utude, my admiration and affection. May God
bless you. Farewell.

Work A Blessing.

Many young men have fathers that
are well of, and they have no ambi-
ton, and no particular prospect.
They scorn n trade A man that is
too well born for trade, is very we'll
born for the gallows, Thousands Of
parents who by industry have gained
a position which enables them to dc
stroy their children, take the surest
means Of accomplishing their dcsiruc-
ton, 10y encouraging them in idleneSs,
and allowing them to grow up with
feelings Of contempt for labor. No
child ought to lie reared TO feel that 1t
is disgroceful to work ut whatever
manual labor best suits his talents, no
matter if his father is minister, or a
lawyer, or n senator, or the president
of the United States. Many young
men are looking forward upon life
with the general idea that they are 60
ing TO enjoy themselves. They are
provided with all needlul comforts,
and they mean to be very happy
They have no trade. They slight
their profession. Their whole gov
erning principle in life is to shirl, amy
thing like work; and they expect TO
have enjoyment without industry.
But no man in this world will be hap
by who violates the fundamental law
Of industry. Nou must work il you
are going to be happy man. | know
you think it is hard; but if God had
meant that You should be butterfly,
you would have been born a butterfly.
And as you were not born moth or
miller, but man, You must accept
tho conditions of your manhood.
And if there is one principle that is
more important at the very threshold
of life than another it is that man is
born 10 ,corl At the beginning of the
history of the race, it may have been a
curse that doomed man to work; but,
thank God, it has been changed to n
blessing now. And the baptism of
work is a baptism Of blessing H. ".

A Strange Story.

Ten years ago Mr.--was married
70 Miss. For q time ali went
well with the happy pair, but whether
prompted by incompatibility Of tenn
per or through the meddleaome inter
ference Of relatives or friends, We
chronicler knoweth not, only that the
demon Of discord breathed upon their
young love, and it withcred as a flow
er meath winters chilling breath.
And, to make long story short, they
separated, little daughter was born,
and then a divorce was obtained-by
which party obtained it matters not.
For nine years-long weary years
they lived apart, never seeing, hearing
from or speaking of each other, and
yet both remaining true to loves first
bright dream. The little girl grew up
and was Taught to believe that her
father WAS dead She had never seen
him or been seen by him. All, who
shall say how often during those long,
dreary years the fathers heart yearncd
for the sight OF his child, and pined to
hear the music of her voice. And the
mother-the wife that was-was she
happy? Who shall tell Well, on
the day before yesterday the lady, ac-
companied by her little daughter,
walked into a business house in this
city, and met him who was once hen
husband. the father of her child, com
ing out. They stood face to face, the
first time since their separation Lime
years ago. Both stopped and gazed
flxedly into each others face. The
father then turned his eyes to the
child, and STOPPING down suddenly
caught her in his arms pressed hei
passionately to his bosom rained q
shower of kisses upon her face; ther
placing her on the floor he gave one
glance at the mother and turned tC
go. Hearing his name called in low
tone, he turned One look, and they
were in each others arms. They
were left alone for a few moments by
the considerate kindness of the parties
present. Then hack was called, anC
i'll thirty minutes from their first meet
ing they were married. Memphis
