The Quarterly" on General Lee.

The London Quarterly Review, replying to
an essay by Goodwin Smith, who cites Lincoln,
Grant, Sherman and Stanton % as examples
of American great men, says:
"We admit that Mr.. Stanton and his COL
leagues have done great things on great scale,
but they lack the stamp of individual great
ness IF that is to be found anywhere In A
merica, it is under the modest roof of General
Lee, the champion Of the lost cause, whom
prosperity never intoxicated, nor adversely de-
pressed, and who exceeded his opponent as
much in real nobility and greatness of charac-
ter as he did in military skill and daring
NEWSPAPER SpoNGERs. exchange
makes the following sensible remarks There
are many people In the world who make 1t a
business to sponge the reading of their county
paper without any expense to themselves. -
They are found wherever the paper is left-in
borrowing it before the owner has an opportu-
nifty of seeing it. This is done by very many
who are abundantly able and whose duty would
seem to be to sustain their county paper, by
subscribing and paying for it.
The Poor BoY.-Don't be ashamed my lad,
if you have patch on your elbow. 1t is no
mark of disgrace. 1t speaks well for your In
dustrious mother For our part We would
rather see dozen patches on your jacket than
hear one profane word escape from your lips. -
No good boy will shun you because you cannot
dress as well as your companions /; and if bad
boy sometimes laughs at your appearance, say
nothing, my lad, but walk on. We know now
many rich and good man who, was once as
poor as WE.

KISSING.

Men scorn to kiss among themselves,
And scarce would kiss brother;
But women want to kiss so badly
They kiss and kiss each other.
A LADY REPLIES:
Men do not kiss among themselves,
It's very well that they refrain;
The bitter dose would yex them SO
They ne er would kiss again.

The Bewitched Terrier.

Sam Johnsing was cullud man, A-A g.
Who lived down by the sea;
He owned rattan terrier h1s I
That stood bout one foot three;
And the way the creatur chawod up rats,
Was gorjuss for to see. -
One day the dog was slumberin'
Behind the kitchen stove, 4
When suddenly a wicked flea
A ugly little cove .-y.,-. 800.
Commenced upon his faithful back
With many jumps to rove.
Then up arose that terrier,
With frenzy in his eye, -s.
And, waitin' only long enough
To make touching cry, sEfr
Commenced to twist hisself around
Most wonderfu1tE spry.
But all in vain, his shape was such
So awful short and fat 81 So = ~
That though he doubled up himself
= And strained hisself at that,
His mouth was half an inch away =
From where the varmint sat. ~
The dorg set up an awful howl
And twisted like an eel,
Emitting cries of misery
At every nip he'd feel
And tumblin' down and jumpin' up,
And turnin' like wheel.
But still that owdacious flea
Kept mp constant chaT
just Wnero ne cOuiuu pe soIdtCu0o oo'
By any reach of paw.
And always half an inch beyond
His victims swapping jaw,
Sam johnson heard the noise, and came
To save his animile;
But when he see the creatur spin
A barkin' all the while
He dreaded hiderfobia,
And thensbegan to rile.
"The purp is mad enough" says he
And luggin' in his ak,
He gave the reehid terrier
A pair of awful cracks,
That stretched him out upon the Hoor,
AS dead as carpet-tacks.
r.. MORAL.
Take warnin' by this terrier,
Now turned to sassidge meat;
And when misfortunes flea shall come
Upon your back to eat,
Beware, or you may die because
You can't make both ends meet.
