then, again, the bully met with more
than his match. The strawberry eater
had had Angelo for a master as well as
Owen Swift, and after few passes, the
count, who was too eager to kill his
man, felt an unpleasant sensation in his
right shoulder. The seconds interpos-
ed, and there was an end Of tho affair. 1t
was mis- last duel. Some one produced
sketch of him as he appeared being
thrown out of the hotel window, and
ridicule--so awful to Frenchmsn--rid
the country of him. The strawberry
eater was alive when the battle of the
Alma was fought, and is the only man
to whom the above facts are known who
never talks about them. @

that's single and things are not what

to man returnest," has been spoken of
the rib. Not enjoyment and not sorrow
is our destined end or way, but to act
that each to marrow finds US nearer
marriage day. Life is short and still q
feting, and our hearts though light and
gay, still like pleasant drums are beating
wedding marches all the way. In the
worlds broad field Of battle, in the biy-
ouac OF life, be not like dumb driven
cattle-be a hcroine-a wife. Trust in
no future howe'er pleasant; let the dead
past bury its dead act, act to the living
present heart within and hope ahead.
Lives Of married folks remind us we can
live our lives as we'll, and departing
leave behind us such examples as shall

Kissing the Baby.
+ rrom Tire B3stou saturd.v o.z.tte

From the Boston Saturday Gazette.
In one of the street cars in the metropolis, q
few evenings since, was lady with a baby
one of the bluc-eyed growing, happy babies.
disarranging its white robes and rumpling its
blue ribbons with all the abandon Of baby
that is secure in ever fresh supplies Of love and
clothes. The mother was evidently . stranger
to the other ladies in the cars: yet all Of th EN-
emiled when they looked in her direction, and
many. of them spoke to her and seemed to
love her for tho sake OF the beautiful child s
The opening instincts Of womanhood seems
to be the love Of babies, and the girl must be
very little that does not want doll, to which
| she can play the sweet part OF mother The
depth and purpose Of tho instinct are revealed
to us in the petition Of the miss of five years,
who happened to be an only child-'Mamma,
want baby to play with-a meat baby,
mamma -E ~" Haa9 80
It was once the lot Of the writer to dwell in
the white tents of Camp Harrison, in Georgia
in the lower part OF the State. where families
are far between, and much more SO in war
times. For long weeks we had not seen q wo>
mon Or child.
At last the railroad through the camp was
repaired, and in the train was 3 lady with just
such wfde~awake, kicking baby as the later
one of the metropolis. Some hundreds of
rough soldiers were around the cars, and Capt.
Story, of the Fifty-seventh Infantry, was the
biggest and toughest among them, if we judge
the tree by the bark.
The lady with the baby in her arms was
looking from the window, and he took off his
hat and said: Madam will give you five
dollars if you will let me kiss that baby. One
look at his bearded face told her there was
nothing bad in it, and saying, with pleased
laugh: l do not charge any thing for kissing
my baby, i. was handed over. The little one
was not afraid, and the whiskers. an eighth of
an ell long, were just the playhouse it had been
looking for.
More than one kiss did the Captain get from
the little red lips, and there was an energy in
the hug of the little round arms. Then, and
before the train was ready to start. half hum
dred men had kissed the baby. Other voices
said: Pass her over here, Capt. It was on
its best behavior, and crowed, and kicked, and
tugged at whiskers a. only happy baby can.
1t was event of the campaign. aud one giant
Of . mountaineer, who strobe past US with .
tread like mammoth, but with tear>dimmei
eyes and quivering lips, said: By George, it
makes me feel and act like fool; but I've got
one just like it at home.
Other lands have owned tho power Of this
Immortality, and the Hindoo halls the little

The Mean Man Who G OF Converted.

From the Cincinnati Times.
There was great revival in the region
where old Smithers, as every body called him
lived, and it took hold of him one day. Smith
ers was dreadful mean man, oppress i've to
the poor and all that and never paying debt
il he could help it. He had been known to
turn poor widow. with a family of small chill
dren out into the street of a cold winters day
because she was unable to pay the rent Of the
miserable shanty she had of him. He was on
ly known as old Smthers.' although he was
mean men have the prefix Old attached to their
