Anna Dickinson at the
Dayton Soldiers Home.

The Dayton (Ohio) Journal of the
18th gives the following description
of Miss Anna Dickinson's Lecture
before the veterans at the Soldiers
Home in that city:
She came upon the stage, Saturday
morning, haracteristically cool,
self-possessed, and as manly as you
could imagine. laid aside her hat
and gloves with perfect impertur.
bility, and then, she had a trial.
Something less than a thousand
one.legged, one-armed, and other
wise mutilated veteran soldiers sat
before her. Anna had seen many
such when they were suffering from
fresh wounds and desperate camp
sickness, during the war, and had
done a good woman's part in alleviat-
ing their sufierings. She had wept
with them i'm camp, soothed them in
sorrow, cried over their tortures, aud
sympathized with and comforted
them as sister would. But she had
seen nothing like this war picture.
When she turned to the veterans,
the whole panorama of war present.
ed itself to her vision. Her beauti-
ful eyes filed with tears, which she
tried In vain to fling away with her
white, jeweled fingers, and then, af-
ter half sob: "I-knew- W hen. I~was
asked that-I- couldn't-talk to you,
Had it been mere acting, it would
have been perfect, but every body
saw how truly womanly it was-and
it was the best thing that had hap
pened i'm that way at the soldiers
Home. 1t made other people, not
used to the melting mood, whip out
their handkerchiefs. The woman in
the audience cried like woman, and
the men-fell very much in love
with Anna.
After this perfectly happy episode
Anna was herself again. Eloquence
flowed as freely from her charming
lips as water from Horeb when the
rod of inspiration opened the rock.
She reminded the gallant men before
her of the struggles and trials of their
warfares, OF the cause which enlisted
their services of the principles for
which they bled of the honors they
had won of the gratitude to which
they were entitled, and of the love
they commanded from good women
and good men. Full of passionate
earnestness, she had the veterans at
one moment roaring with the nigh
ty voices of soldiers i'm victory, then
weeping like woman. The scene
was hard to discribe, though delight
ful to witness and feel. Anna, as
the aoODlan, surpassed all she had ev-
er accomplished as the advocate of
the cause which has engaged her elo-
quence for so many years. Nobody
could describe the enthusiasm of the
veterans.
Anna Dickinson's visit to the We.
terans will long be cherished by
them as delightful episode.

his pupils together at the beginning of
Lent, and gave them a short lecture
upon self-denial and self.sacrifice,
and advised them to select some arti-

dispense during the season of Lent.
The boys were directed to go into a
room by them selves, and after decid-
ing what luxury they would give up,
TO return to the chapel and report
their decision. The boys retired, and
soon returned, and made the follow.

A WORD OF WARNING.-The Iowa
Homestead warns farmers against
carelessness in leaving their stock ex-
posed during the unseasonably mild
days of the early spring. 1t says the
worst time for farm stock, between
the grass time of 1859, and the COM
ing Of the grass in 1870, will be dur
ing the next six weeks, and every
farmer who has shelter for bis stock,
will profit himself, and show mercy
to his beast, by putting every living
thing under shelter, with good lay
er of dry bedding beneath, upon the
first indications of a storm, and not
this attention till grass comes.
