The Great Captain.

II Some years since, when the
country was in arms North and
ESouth, and men were wild to cut
: each others throats, the venera.
| BILE Father Cleveland, the well
known Boston city missionary,
found himself one day in street
car side by side with a man nearly
as old as himself. The two ante
deluvians entered into conversa-

Of national affairs, and soon Gen.
McClellan's name was mentioned.

and amt old enough to be a great
commander,
The junior had been down
town, and tasted more old Madei-
ra than was good for his tongue
or head, and Father Cleveland's
eyes were not SO dim as to fail to
notice the fact; SO he turned the
conversation, to avoid argument,
by reriarking- '.s'''' ?

great Captain whom we all can
follow and believe in"

Cleveland" G cried the junior. 81

Eccentric Divine.

| The Rev. Zeb. Twitchel wa,
the most noted Methodist preach
er in Vermont for shrewi
and laughable sayings. In the
pulpit he maintained a suitable
gravity of manner and express
ion, but out of the pulpit he over
flowed with fun. Occasionally he
would, if emergency seemed to
require, introduce something queer
in sermon for the sake of arous-
ing the tagging attention Of his
hearers. Seeing that his audience
was getting sleepy, he paused in
his discourse, and discussed as
folioWs.e Ioi1E.s.z3s .e9.hrfeaa.!.,
Brethren, you haven't 2 any

regions are enormous. A great

pound, and they will get on logs
and bark when the missionaries
are going along" TaH7s yhG 3oatq
By this time all ears and eyes
were open, and he proceeded to-
finish his discourse.

crimes. One of them was ordered
to stand forward while the indict-
ment was read, but he resisted,
and said-"Look yer, Boss, l amt

ingenious, at least, and showed
the pride of the soldier, who felt
sure that stealing a gun was no
such miserable offence as was the
stealing of a mule. Another, be-
coming impatient at the long delay
of justice in his particular instance
said to the officer ::s"Look yer, Boss,
you keep me yer two days already;
why not glib me a hundred lash

Word comes from Marion county,
Illinois, that the late sheriff of
that county has decamped to parts
unknown, with well filled pockets,
and leaving his wife and large
family behind. 1t is said before
he. disappeared, he conveyed his
real estate to his sons, made pecu-
mary provisions for his wife and
daughter, and went away between

has borne a reputable character.
His family comprises some of the
best people in the county.

Ludicrous Mistake.

A Massachusetts friend sends
the following:
Some years ago in that part of
our town yclept Bow-Wow, a good
old preacher otficiated on the occa-
sion of a funeral, and at the close
had word of inquiry and ad-
vice, as is customary, with many
of the audience, Among others
he approached lady, a stranger
to him, who was visiting in the
neighborhood, and after shaking
hands, asked her if she was on
the road to Heaven. eyes, sir, ="
she promptly answered; sand if
you ever come that way l should
be pleased to have you call. y r,
The good old man Mortified at
such seeming discourtesy, turned
away without reply, when friend
sitting near, demonstrated with
Mrs, who, still more horri-
fed at her mistake, said she un-
derstood him to ask if she was on
the way to Houston, where she re-
sided when at home. An imme-
diate apology to the satisfaction
of the minister, followed, and
hearty laughter when relating the
circumstance was the natural re-
suit of the explanation.

A Business Mans View.

- Barnum, the welEknoWn ener-
getic business man, who made a
fortune in few years by adverti-
sing, says he never patronizes the
men that don't advertise, 'Jor the
reasoaa'tltat 1 Iiaearfably get cheated
VIdo. The penurious principle
that prevents a man from keeping
his business before the public, will
prevent him from selling cheap"
1t is certainly safest to bug of the
men who advertise. Z If o man
does an honest business, he need
not fear to have it. made known,
that the people may judge of it.
Besides, in this age of newspapers
people expect the different candi-
dates for their patronage to make
known. their claims to it. ID If those
claims are real, publication cannot
help but be. an advantage to them. |

low, dated on the 1lth inst, from
Nashville, well calculated, if not
designed, to encourage persecution
and incite violence towards minis
ters of the gospel, who are not OF
his own class, as the following ex-
tract will show, iae sss,,.a
IF Rebel preachers behave them
selves with the modesty becoming
guilty culprits, they should be let
alone, and even protected in the
quiet pursuits of life. Instead of
this, however, they are everywhere
spouting treason, and arrogantly
claiming the chief seats in the
synagogues, with an i1npudence
that even puts the Devil to the
blush! These bad men, known as
Rebel preachers, should be salts
fed to live in the country, as pri-
vate citizens, without thrusting
their hypocritical prayers and
reasonable sermons upon a loyal
people, who do not want to hear
them, and who have no confidence
in the men who deliver them. '
Rebel preachers are the worst
class of men in the South, and
did more to bring on the rebellion,
and continue it, than any other
class of traitors. They urged the
young men of their charges to go
into the Rebel army, and in the. !
true spirit of blasphemy, assured
them that, dying in SO sacred a
cause, they were sure to be saved. |
Thousands of young men, religious |
ly educated, went into the Rebel |

nents to the church and to So

The good people of Virginia

jolly time this winter, the extreme
cold weather furnishing them
abundance of ice and skating =
At Norfolk, the amusement has
been INDUCED in with a perfect
.ttsrore, and the Journal Of that
city gives the following as one of
the Incidents of q gsthering in
that neighborhood ore day last
week: "There was one young
man, the boldest skate. we have
seen for many year. He dash
ed fearlessly and reckhssly over
the pond in every direction, ap-
pearihg like very demon on the
ice. This gentleman, whose name
is Thomas Allen, a native of Nor
folk, at the request of number
of the spectators, performed a feat,
and repeated it sever,l times,
which is hard to surpass. Eleven
persons were induced to lie down
in a row. He then dashed off
several hundred yards, and came
rushing down upon them with tre-
1nendous impetus. Arriving with
in about two feet Of the mark, he
made sudden and powerfu spring,
and landed some five feet beyond
the party, clearing the entire
eleven at bound, and having
room to spare. Alighting lquane- !
ly upon one foot, he gracefully
balanced himself, and dashed off
again to repeat the experiment,
which had now attracted tie at
tention of all who crowded a'ound
to witness the daring fight
through the air of the bold slater.
1t was repeated twice, witt IN
creasing perfection at each tial." 1

WATERING SHEEP IN WINTER

Z WATERING SHEEP3N WINTER
From time to time various expert,
ments have been made to ascer.
tain whether or not water was es-
sential TO the good condition Of.
sheep, and the result has always
been in favor of permitting them
to have access to, water at all sea-
.sors. In the course of one exper-
iment it was found that in sumner
sheep drink five or SIX pounds of
water daily, and when deprived
of it they eatsless food and lose
weight; when housed or folded in
winter, they should have as much
water as they will drink. -

TO THE PEN:

Great deed-recorder, noble pen, r. ,s.-
Without thy works to see,
We neer would know the ways of mer
In the dead eternity;
Nor would we know of present times
One-fourth of what we know,
As news from all the distant climes
Would travel very slow. 4
And Oh without thy record guide
l here will surely VOW,
We neer had known Saviour died,
With thorns around his brow;
Nor would we know, IN times of old,
How men both brave and great
Both fought the noble and the bold
From mount to city gate.
Yes, all-dear pen, without thy aid
Would be misty past,
Great heroes deeds all soon would fade,
Which now instead do last;
Then let me praise thee once again,
Great pen our noble guidel
For precious glory would fain
Wreathe round thy deeds of pride.

If there is anything calculated to rouse
the Indignation Of the gallant men who
served with Phil Sheridan in the late war,
we think the following from the leading
Coppcrhead paper Of the Northwest, tie
Chicago Times, will produce that feel
ing:
'Hon. Mike McCoolc and Phil. Sheridan
have both had enthusiastic receptions In
st. Louis. That given 10 the man who
punched Jones out of time was larger ard
more enthusiastic than that given TO the
mal who Wells and some others knocked
out Of time in the ring in Louisiana.
I'm giving the preference 10 McCoole
St. Louis did right. He is the more hon
orable OF the two. He not only gave, but
took punishment. Sheridan struck an OPP
poncnt whose hands were hound. He did
not permit his antagonist to return his blows.
In this respect he is much inferior to his
brother Celt; and 81. Louis was judiciOus in
its discrimination.
McCoole has started whisky shop, and
Sheridan has gone 10 establish a private
Indian seraglio. In respect 10 their occu-
pations, McCoolc is still ahead i'm point of
responsibility. In the future, as in the
past, McCoole seems destined TO prove
himself the superior of the other in re-
spectsbility Of pursuit and bravery, as much
so as he proved himself the superior OF
Jones i'm point of muscle and endurance"
