"This is very good of you, Mr.. Presi-
dent" said the Colonel, deeply moved.
mo, it isn't; but that was very bad of
me last night. | never should have for
given myself if | had left that piece of
ugly work stand. That was noble

love you; and you must be good fellow
or such woman would never have
risked so much for you. And what

colonel. What angels of devotion and

colonel, nv carriage is at the door. I'll
drive you to the war department, and
we'll see Stanton about this mat
ter"
Even at that early hour they found the
secretary at his post. The President
pleaded the case of Colonel Scott, Ind
not only requeste,. that leave of absence
should be given him, but that a steamer
should be sent down the river expressly
70 bring up the boly of his wife. 'Hu-
manity, Mr.. Stanton" said the good
President, his hOmely face transfigured
with a glow of earnest tender feeling,
humanity should overrule considera-
tiOns of policy and even military neces-
sites in matters like this"
The secretary was touched, and he
said something of his regret at not
having felt himself at liberty to grant
Colonel Scott's request in the first place.
mo, no, Mr.. Stanton" said the Pres
ident, "you did right in adhering to
YOUR own rules: you are the right man
for this place. If we had such soft
headed old fool as | here, there would be
no rules or regulations that the army of
the country could depend on. But this
isS peculiar case. Only think of that
poor woman!"
OF course the impossible" was accom-
plished.
To the surprise of the Colonel, the
p lesident insisted on driving him to the
navy yard, to see that the secretary's
order was carried out Immediately,
seeming to have nervous fear that
some obstacle might be thrown in the
way of the pious expedition. He waited
at the landing till all was ready, then
arged the officers of the steamer TO
give every assistance and attention to
his friend Colonel Scott. With him he
shook hands warmly at parting, saying,
''God bless you, my dear fellow, [ hope
you will have no more trouble in this
sad affiir-anj, colonel, try to forget last
night."-
Away up in New Hampshire church
yard there is certain grave carefully
watched and tended by faithful love-
But every April time the violets on that
mound speak not alone of the womanly
sweetness and devotion of her who
sleeps below-they are tender and tear
full with the memory of the murdered
President.

"a ReantifnI Passage

The following is from the reveries of a
bachelor by Ike Marvel:
ga poor man without some kind of
religion is at best but poor reprooate-
the football of destiny, with no tie link
ing him to infinity and the wondrous
eternity that is even worse-a flame
without heat, a rainbow without color,
a flower without perfume. A man may
in some sort tie his hope and his honor
to this shifting ground tackle, to his
business or the world, bnt woman with
out that anchor called faith, is drift
and wreck. A man may be in some
soi It of moral responsibility out of rela-
ton to mankind, but woman, in her
comparatively isolated sphere, where af-
feet on and not purpose is the control
ing motive, can find no basis in any 9TH
er system or right action but that of
faith. A man may craze his thoughts
TO trustfulness, in such poor harborage
as fame and reputation may stretch be-
fore him, but a womaB-where san she

Death Of HerZog, the King OF she
Turtle Is Buried on the Scene of His
Triumph.

Death Of Berzog, the King OF she
TURTLE Is Buried on the Scene of His
Triumph.
From The Cincinnati Gazette, Sept. SOth.
Our readers have been made aware
that the horse HerZog, famous the world
over for making the unparalleled run Oi
a mile in one minute and fort ty-three ana
a half seconds, has been for a week sefi
ously indisposed. Yesterday morning
he died at the stables of the Buckeye
race track. The fiag at the stands was
Immediately lowered to half mast, ana
so floated all day. A grave WAS made
for the celebrated courser, near the cen
ter OF the area inclosed by the track on
which last May he made the most bril-
liant achievement ever recorded of horse
flesh. a clump of green trees throw
their shadows on the grass that grows
above his bones. We are not aware that
any other mark designates his resting
place, but we do know that rs long as
the turf survives as popular sport, as
long as interest is taken in improving
horses, his name will be spoken, and
the solitary triumph of his made last
May will be remembered. On the side
of his dam, he was descended from a
Wild Barb mare, imported into England
by Charles the Second. The blood oi
Eclipse, Flying Childers, Darley Arabi
an. and many other blooded horses, was
carried in his veins. On Tuesday last.
when he ran in the first race, he had
symptoms of pneumonia. After the
race, this grew upon him. Thursday
we saw him in the stable. He was stand
ing, resting on the arm of a groOmswho
tenderly caressed him. His eyes were
half closed, and had distressed, sad
expression, more human than horse-like.
Another groom stood sedulously murder
ing the flies off the noble steed. A sur
geon was kneeling by his fore feet, feel
ing his pulse with one hand and holding
a watch i'm the other. The owner, with
a regretful, discouraged countenance.
was in the door looking at the scene.
The surgeon turning to him said His
pulse is sixty, the same as ii yours was
one hundred and twenty when ii should
be seventy. | would get the best medi
cal skill money could buy" The owner
turned and left. saying, 1T shall be done.

a Mothers Love.

Happy is he who knows his mothers
love What is SO pure? The patriot
expects fame, the friend sympathy,
the lovers pleasure. Even religion
while she waters her faith with tears,
looks forward to the best fruit of her
labor, and herl love. But maternal af-
lection springs from the breast, unin-
voked by touch of interest. It's objects
are the weak and woeful. 1t haunts
the cradle of infantile pain, or hovers
near the couch of the faint and forsaken
Its sweetest smiles break through the
clouds of misfortune, and its gentlest
tone rises amid the signs of suffering
and sorrow. 1t is limpid and lovely
flow of feeling, which gushes from the
fountain head of purity, and courses the
heart, through selfish designs and sordid
passions, immingling and unsulled.
Who is 80 firm? Time and misfortune,
pelury and persecution, hatred, infamy
may roll their dark waves over it; and
still it smiles unchanged; or the potent
allurements OF fortune, opulence and
pride, power and splendor may WOO her.
and yet she is nnmoved-a mother loves
and loves forever"

RULES oFTHE itOAD.-TheP PioUghBad7l
expounds the law of the road, alter this
good sense fashion
1t is commonly said that every one has
q right to half the road. This Is prac-
ticaliy true, and COMES about III JAIS
wise. You and [ meet upon the rotu,-
our legal rights are exactly equal, anu
both have a right 10 20 our several WAY =
without obstruction, 50 popularity we
say own half and ycu half. The law
steps in to facilitate matters, and directs
each to turn to has right hand. This Is
true whatever the load or the team; for
if one can drive such a team that aBoth-
er can pass him but with difficulty, O.
not at ali. then their ghts are 80 longer
equal. This point becomes very import
ant in winter, for il Is no joke 10 turn
your horses and all into the deep Snow,
while your neIghbor goes smoothly
along III the beaten path. No one has
d right SO to lead his team a. nOt tO bt
able to give up half the track 10 whOsv-
er demands L. A footman may choose
the part which pleases him, or amy pUr-
tion of his right hand half of the way,
and the team must yield to him. This
is clearly so in winter and no man is
two horses. This is the law aud the
courts award it.
Now for the manners of the road,
which in some Instances, vary from the
law thereof. The first requirement OF
road manners is good nature, and an
accommodating spirit. DO to others as
you would have them do to you. Al
ways be willing to yield more than halI
the space, and you will be equally well
treated. They who exact Inches viii
have inches eXacted with them Ifyuur
neighbor has a heavy load, consult his
convenience as far as possible you may
sometime be loaded. 1t has become 4
practical rule of courtesy to turn for
teams especially in water, and when
the roads are heavy. But remember il
was a favor not your right, and you have
reciprocal duty TO perform and one
which, | am sorry to observe, is not al
ways borne in mind.
One word in relation to teams going
the same way in which case many seem
TO think it is neither law nor manners.
When team comes up behind you,
that team has a right and a resOnable
space and opportunity to pass on, and
in fact, TO half the road for tnat purpose.
and your obstructinr him i'll his lawful
desire is both bad manners and bad law.
Ifyour load is heavy, do the best you
can. In most cases the very least that
can he expected is that you should stop.
This is particularly so in the winter,
when il is a heavy tax on u team to
force it into IL tr0t in deep SHOW, or mud
made necessary by your continuing 10
move on.

A BOY was once tempted by some of
his companions to pluck ripe cherries
from tree which his father had forbid
den him to touch.
"You need not be afraid" said one of
his companions, "for if your father
should find out that you have taken
them. he is so kind, he would not hurt
you"
THAT is the very reason" replied the
boy, "why would not touch them. 1t
is true my father would not touch me /:
but my disobedience, l know would hurt
my father, and that would ne worse to
me than anything else."
