Drawing Rations.

There are some episodes in the life Of a
soldier provocative Of laughter, and that
serve to disperse, in some measure, the
ennui of camp life. A farmer, who did
not reside so far from camp of the ''boys"
as he wished he did, was accustomed to
find every morning that several rows Of
potatoes had disappeared from the field.
lie bore it some time, but when the last
half Of his field Of fac Kidneys" began to
disappear, he began to think that sort of
thing had gone far enough. and de:ermin-
ed to stop it. Accordingly he made visit
to camp early next morning, and amused
himself by going round to see whether
the soldiers were provided with good and
wholesome provisions. He had not pro-
ceeded far when he found "boy" Just
serving up a fine dish Of Kidneys" which
looked marvelously like those that the
guide wife brought to his own table. Halt
ing, the following colloquy ensued:
"Have fine potatoes here, l see.'
splendid !" was the reply.
"Where do you get them Z"
''Draw them"
"Does government furnish potatoes in
your rations e.
"Nary potato"
Il thought you said you drew them"
"Did We just do that thiug!"
'But how. if they are not included in
your rations Z"
Easiest thing 10 the world! Won't
you take some with Us I" said the soldier,
as be seated himself at the table opposite
the smoking vegetables.
"Thank you. But will you oblige me
BY telling how you draw your potstoss,
- they are not found bye hs oommissasy I"
"Nothing easier. Drav EN- BY tie tops
Mostly! Sometime by hoe, If one Is
left in the field"
"Hum! Yes I understand! Wall. see
here. if you won't draw any more Of mine,
will bring you basket every morning,
and draw them myself"
"BuIly for you, old fellow !" was the
:ry, and three cheers and tiger were
given for the farmer. The covenant was
entered into, and no one but the owner
lrew potatoes from that fele afterward.

How PooR BoYs REACH The ror
RouSD--We copy As follows from the
New York Commercial Advertiser:
There are 1870 names who pay an in-
come tax in this city; sixty seven persons
who pay tax on incomes Of 100000 o.
over. Most Of these solid gentlemen are
self made men, who have come up from
the lowest round of the ladder. The man
who leads tho list, A. T. Stewart, every-
body knows is an Irish emigrant, who
commenced life with capital Of less than
twenty five cents. Indeed with few excep-
tons, most Of the parties in the list were
scarce as we'll of as Mr.. Stewart. Take
Mr.. Henry Keep. he boasts that he gradu-
ated from the Poorhouse of Jefferson
County. jay Gould drove herd of cattle
from Delhi, Delaware County, when lad.
for fifty cents day in order to get money
enough to reach the Hudson river. David
Greosbeck, over thirty years ago, used to
mend old shoes for his brother, who was a
respectable shoemaker in Albany. We all
know the history of James Gordon Ben
net and Robert Bonner. poor boys full of
talent and industry. Rufus Hatch, when
. youngster had an ambition to hold the
reins Of a peddlar's wagon. E. D. Nor
gan commenced life with a quar-: measure
Of mo'asses. It is scarcely 4 dozen years
since Henry Clews was an errand boy in
one Of the banking houses down town.
The brothers Seligman started out in life
with pedlsr's pack. David Doves, in
his younger days, retailed pork by the
half-pound and molasses by the gill. H. T.
HemboId was first cabin boy on the sloop
Mary Jane, that navigated the Delaware
river. We might 60 on through the Iist
and show that nearly every one Of these
solid men. who are struggling for place
and position, should remember that the
individuals in the list below had to battle
for life just as hard as they are doing. Let
them take heart and never say die.
Honor and shame from no condition rise.
Act well your part-thcre all the honor lies
