John Phoenix.

A friend recently related to US the follow
ing anccdote of Phoenix, which has never been
published: ~
When Jefferson Davis was Secretary of
War, he issued circulars to all the army of
icers, asking of them specifications for pro-
posed new uniform. Phoenix, who was an
excellent draughtsman, set to work and pro-
duced design. He made no great change
In the uniform, but he propoEed revolution
i7ing the entire system of modern tactics by
an iron hook This hook was to be attached
to the seat of every soldier pants. 1t applied
to every arm of the service, cavalry, Infantry.
and artillery. He illustrated its use by a
series of well executed designs. he quoted
high medical authority proving its advantages
in sanitary point of view. The heavy KNAPP
sack, he argued, induced STOPPING position
and contraction of the chest. But hung on the
hook by a strap connecting with the shoulder,
it would brace the body back and expand the
chest. The cavalry thus were to be rendered
more secure in their seats, hooked to ring
in the saddle. All the commissioned officers
were to carry light twenty. foot pole, with
ring attached to the end. This was to be
used during an engagement in drawing the
stragglers back into the ranks. He illustrated
terrific battle, the generals and colonels being
thus occupied, running about hauling strag-
glers back to the ranks In many other uu>
heard of ways did he expatiate on the value
and efficiency of his hook. Jefferson Davis
was enraged. His dignity was wounded and
the service insulted. He instantly made out
an order directing Phoenix to be court martial
ed for contempt.
Marcy was made aware of Phoenix trans
aeti6n, as well as the cloud hanging over him
He looked over the plates. He saw regi-
ment, their back toward him, drawing up in
line knapsacks, blankets, pans and all manner
of camp equipage, pendant from ench soldier
on the hook. -.-...
Marcy broke down. Said he to DAVIS {:
''It's no use to court martial this man. The
matter will be made public; the laugh will
settle entirely on us, and besides, man who
has the inventive ingenuity here displayed,
as we'll as this faculty of design, lily directed
though it be, is too valuable to the service to
be trifled with" Jno. Phoenix was not brought
to grief, and Davis anger was at length suf-
fciently molliied for him to enjoy the joke
1t does not appear, however, that they adopted
Phenix's plan.-[ Oakland Transcript.

A PooR MAN.-The editor of the jersey
vile Journal, in an address to the citizens Of
the Great West, remarks that the man Whois
too poor to take paper is too poor to take
wife, own a horse, or single acre Of land,
and should quit the farm and hire himself out
as a team driver, or 10 some man who, having
intelligence and sense, can direct him aud
make his labor profitable. As an illustration,
he who is too poor to take paper has horse
or COW taken sick he is at loss to know what
to do; sharp neighbor comes along and
offers him receipt for five or ten dollars,
warranted to cure he purchases and curss
the animal and thinks the receipt cheap, but
does not realize that the man from whom be
purchased it got it out Of his paper, and
probably has hundreds Of others which, with
other valuable matter, only cost him three
dollars

THE SECRET OF ELooUENcE.-I owe my
success in life to one single fact, viz: That a.
the age of twenty seven / commenced, and
continued for years, the process of daily read
ing and speaking upon the contents of some
historical or scientific book. These of-hand
efforts were sometimes in a corn field, and
others in forest, and not unfrequently in
some distant barn, with the horse aud or for
my auditors. 1t is to this early practice, in
the art of all arts, that am indebted for the
primary and leading impulss' that stimulated
me forward, and shaped aud modelled my en-
tire subsequent destiny. Improve then, young
gentlemen, the superior advantages you hero
enjoy. Let not day pass without exercising
your powers of speech. There is no power
like that Of oratory. Cesar controlled men
by captivating their affections, and swaying
their passions. Tho influence OF the one
perished with its author. that OF the other
continues to this day.-Henry Clay.

A Story for Swearers.

A gentleman once heard lab6ring man
swear dreadfully in the presence of number
Of his companions. He told him it was cow
ardly to swear SO in company. The man said
he was hot afraid to swear at any time or any
place.
"I'll give you ten dolIars,n said the gen.
tlemau, 'if you will go into the village church
yard to-night at twelve o'clock, and swear the
same oaths which you have uttered here,
when you are alone with your God"
"Agreed, said the man, "it is an easy way
of earning ten dollars"
"Well; you come to me to morrow, and say
you have done it, and the money is yours"
Time passed on; midnight came. The
man went to the grave; e;yard. 1t was night
of pitchy darkness. AS he entered the yard,
not sound was heard, all was still as death.
Then the gentleman's words, '.alone with
God" came DER him with wonderful power.
The thought of the wickedness he had com
mitted, and what he came there to do, darted
through bis mind ike fash Of liz ghtning.-
He trembled at his folly. Afraid to take
another step, he fell on his knees, and instead
of the dreadful oaths he had come to utter,
the earnest cry went up
'!God be merciiul to me a Binnerr'
The next day he went to the gentleman
and thanked him for what he had done, and
said he had resolved not to swear another
oath as long as he lived.

AN OFFICE HOLDING Columbus
Delano Commissioner of Internal Revenue, is
a gentleman of little veracity, we should say
who makes it point to go back on his friends.
Shortly after receiving the appointment as
Commissioner, one Hunter, who was the As
sessor of the Thirteenth Ohio District, as we'll
as an old personal friend of Delano went to
Washington to ascertain as to his prospects
for being continued in office. He met Delano,
who seemed astonshed that Hunter had no
more confidence in him than express even a
doubt but that he would continue in the
position. 81 will attend to your affairs, my
friend" said Deano, and away Hunter went
home, where he was but few hours before he
received the very pleasant intelligence that
his friend Delano bad ousted him from the
position of Assessor in order that one Sapp
might have the place, the only qualification
or claim urged in behalf of Sapp being, that
he was member of the firm Of Deano, Sapp
and Smith, Attorneys, Mt. Vernon, Ohio
which firm is disposed as follows Delano.
Commissioner of Internal Revenue /; Sapp
Assessor of Internal Revende; Smith, Solci-

The Monkey and the Hawk.

The cook of French nobleman, whose
chateau IS In the south of France, had mon,
key which was allowed-th free range of the
kitchen, and which was so intelligent that By
severe training its natural propensity to mis-
chief had been subdued, aud it was even
taught to perform certain useful services,
such as pluckirg fowls, for instance, at which
it was uncommonly expert, One fne mOruS
ing pair of partriages was given to 1t to
pluck. The monkey took them to an open
window of the Kitchen, which looked directly
upon the park. and went to work with great
diligence. He soon finished one, which he
laid on the outer ledge of the window, and
then went quietly on with the other. A
hawk, which had been Watching his proceed
ings from a neighboriug tree, darted down
upon the plucked partridge. and In minute
was up in the tisa again, greedily devouring
his prey.
The CONSERVATION oil 'tle monkey at this
uutoward adventure may be easily imagioned.
He knew he should be severely whipped for
loosinS it. lie hoped about in great distress
for some minutes, when suddenly bright
thought struck him. Seiziug the remaining
partridge, he went to work with great energy,
and stripped off the feathers. He then laid
it on the ledge, just where he had placed the
other, and closing one of the shutters, conceal
ed himself Behind it. The hawk, which by
this time had finished his meal, very soon
swooped down upon the partridge but hardly
had his claw touched the bird, when tho
monkey sprung upon him from behind the
shutter The hawks head was Instantly
wrung, and the monkey, with triumphant
chuckle, proceeded to strip off the feathers.
This doue, he carried the two picked fowh
to his master with confident and self-satis-
fed air, which seemed to say, Here are two
birds, sir-just what you gave me"
What the cook said, on finding one of the
cartridges converted into hawk, is more than
we are able to tell.-,So. Home Journal

STOPPING A NEwsPAPER-An exchange
has the following a!legory, which we commend
to careful consideration
a certain man hit his toe againsta pebbls,
and fell headlong to the ground. He was
vexed, and, under the influence Of anger and
self-suf6ciency, he kicked mother earth quito
saucily. With thimperturbable gravity he looked
to see. the earth dissolve and come to naught.
But the earth remained. and only his poor foot
was injured in the encounter. This is the
way of man. An article in a newspaper
touches him in a weak spot, and forthwith ho
sends to stop his paper. With great COM
placency he looks to see the crash, when he
inds he only hit his own toe against world
that does not perpetually feel the shock, and
iniures no one but himself

ACROSS TIE RIVER.

BY LUCY LARcoM.
When for me the silent oar
Parts the Silent River,
And stand upon the shore
OF the strange Forever,
Shall miss the loved and known.
Shall / vainly seek mine own?
Mid the crowds that come to meet
Spirits sim forgiven
Listening to the echoing feet
Down the streets of heaven
Shall know footstep near
That listen, wait for here?
Then will one approach the brink
With hand extended,
One whose thoughts love to think
Ere the veil was rended,
Saving, "Welcomei we have died,
And again are side by side"
Saying, ''I viii go with thee,
That thou be not lonely,
To yon hills of mystery:
q have waited only
Until now to climb with thee
Yonder hills of mystery"
Can tSe 6onds that make us here
Know ourselves immortal
Drop away. ike foliage scar,
AT iife's inner pottal'
What is holiesf below
Must forever live and glow.
shall love the angels we'll.
After have found them
In the mansions where they dwell,
With the glory round them.
But at fret, without surprise,
Let me look in human eyes.
Step by step our feet must go
Up the holy mountaini
Drop by drop within US flow
Lies unfailing fountain.
Angcls sing with crowns that burn;
We shall have song to learn.
He who on our earthly path
Bids US help each other
Who Ills Well Beloved hath
Made our Elder Brother
Willbut clasp the chain of love
Closer when we meet above.
Therefore dread I not to go
O'er the Silent River,
Death. thy fastening oar know;
Bear me ttou Life giyer,
Through the waters, to the shore
Where mine own have gone before!
