A Soldiers own Joke.


During the late fruitless war for iudepen-
dence, there was In the Military Department
ofSouthwestern Virginia battalion Of Cavalry.
the members of which were much oked ut by
the Infantry ss rather unwilling to expose
themselves. a .f tt.
A Railroad coach full Of soldiers had just
stopped at the Bristol Depot, and the crowd
was in one of those frames of mind SO peculiar
TO tho times, though hungry, dirty, and many
sick and sore, yet Of a reckless merry mood,
ready to burst out at any broad joke into such
roars of laughter as only soldiers can give.
One of the Infantry rose from his seat, car
ried his gun TO window near the further end
Of the coach, contriving to catch the attention
of every one as he moved, pointed his gun
through the window, and then suddenly draw
ing it back, turned and said loudly:
Z" | say Is there any Of DunnS Battalion
in this car q
This question, twice repeated, drew re-
sponse from one man, that he was one Of Dumas
Battalion. The wsg turned to him with
benevolent look and ssid

How Old Reed was Converted.

The New York correspondent of Western
paper, tells the following story for the benefit
Of some hard cases.
He says be once knew man by the name Of
Reed, commonly known as Old Reed" Reed
was quite notorious in his way and his religious
belief was, that after death he should reappear
in the form of an animal, and he thought it
would be horse. -.,-. ,--....t
Old Reed was hard man, and was not in
the habit of treating his family as a religious
man should,
One day after his wife had suffered his abuse
as long as humanity could endure, she conclu-
ded to give him brief talking to-to touch
him upon bis religious belief. ..
So resoutely seating herself by bis side, and
looking him full in the face, while tear drop
glistened in her eye-for she was serious and
thought perhaps he was correct in his faith,
she commenced:
Reed, wish to have serious talk with
you have something to say to you and you
must hear it. ] have duty to perform, and l
shall do it, and then, if you are unhappy here
after, it will not be my fault You believe,
Reed, that when you die you will turn into
some animal, and tina. animal will be horse.
"Now, if you keep on your present course
and continue to neglect and abuse your family,
squanderng your money for drink and the
gaming table, when you die you will turn into
some old t,celee shilling horse itsso, and some
dirty clam-peddler will get you. and You will
be hard worked and bali starved, and shall
see YOU every day before rickety old wagon,
filed with clans. Such will be your eternity
"But now, Reed, it needn't be SO your fu-
ture may be bright aud happy one; if you
will reform and turn right about and become
a better man, be kind and allectionate to your
family, and treat them as Christian should,
why, when you die, you will turn into fire
hundred dollqr horse, and some West End buck
will get hold Of you, ant give you bushel Of
oats a day, rub you down with pea straw, have
you docked and your tail set up|
lie says Old Reed was straightway converted
was reformed-and is patiently awaiting for
death to introduce him to his coveted horse

Thrilling Escape.

One Of the passengers who escaped from The
Erie disaster, relates the following incident in
a letter to bis friends
When we stood together wondering as 70
Mr.. Loomis's fate, who was in the burning car,
and which we were unable to reach in our bare
feet, the form Of a man could be seen in the
glare of the fire. His feet were in the air; he
was literally standing on his head, which with
his shoulders. was so wedged in that be could
neither move nor speak. His legs were kick
ing violently in the air, and the flames had
