Hosanna!"
The meaning Of this sweet word, which
ever has in its ring Of Joy and triumph
as it falls upon the car, is, "Save now
we pray"
In the old Jewish worship it came in
at frequent intervals as q refrain, thu
whole people taking it up and shouting
it with deep, glad voices whenever the
priests paused in the recitation Of the
aHallel." The Psalms, from the 18th
to 18th, were used for this purpose, and
were chanted OH the occasions Of great
fcasts of Dedication, Tabernacles and
Passover, as well as on the first of every
month. The children, from babyhood
carried up to the temple, early caught
the sweet choral word, and doubtless
many a Jewish home has often been
yladened by their fresh voices, singing
II as our children now sing "Jesus
Loves Me-" and Marching On"
In the lesson before us we are told how
Jesus. coming into the temple, found its
court profaned by the presence OF the
money-changers, and by those who sold
doves. Filled with righteous anger, he
drove them forth, exclaiming: alt Is
written. my house shall be called house
of PRAYER, but We have made it den OF
thieves" Indignant with these evil
doors, the Saviour cast them out, but IN
the same hour healed with loving pity
the blind and lame who came to him.
And the scribes and chief priests stood
by Sowing and muttering, raging in
their hearts, vet full Of an awe which
made them fearful to use violence tow
ard this great, wise Jesus, while the little
ones shouted at the top OF their voices
the ringing Hosanna.
How beautiful The children were in
sympathy with him who, again and
again. showed how dear to his heart
we're the children. They were not afraid
to shout in his praise, though the wrath
ful priests glared at them from within,
and the thicving money-changers were
peerlng, with their black glances, from
without.
Christ recognized their worship as the
fulfllment of prophecy.
"Hcarest thou what these say"
"Yea," be answered, shave We never

Dear little Sabbath school scholars, if

word, Save now, we pray. He Is able

Said a little dark-eyed boy who had
been singing a hymn and trifling all the
time:

people in heaven, and what difference
does it make about one boy?"
That is great mistake. | will use a

A PUNCTUATION PUZZpE.-The follow
ing article forcibly illustrates the necessi-
tv of punctuation. 1t can be read in two
ways, making avery bad man, or very
good man, the result depending on the
manner in which it is punctuated:
He is an old man and experienced in
vice and wickedness he is never found
opposing the walks of iniqnity he takes
delight in the downfall of his neighbors
he never rejoices in the prosperity of any
of his fellow creatures he is always ready
to assist in destroying the peace of So
ciety, he takes no pleasure in serving
the Lord he is uncommOnly diligent In
sowing disorder among his friends and
acauaintances he takes no pride III labor
ing to promote the cause of Christianity
he has not been negligent in endeavoring
to stigmatize all public teachers he makes
no exertions to subdue his evil passions
he strives hard to build up Satan's king
dom he lends no aid to the support OF
the Gospel among the heather he contrib
utes largely to the evil adversary he pays
no attention to good advice he gives great
heed to the devil he will never go to
heaven he must go where he will receive
the Just recompense Of reward.
A engineer of a Western railroad tells
a story of a singular warning he once re-
ceived, while driving his engine. He was
just entering deep cut, when he seemed
to hear, as plain as words could speak it,
F." Shut off," He looked around to see
if his fireman had spoken to him, but as
that individual was leaning with his head
out of the cab, it was evident he had not.
A second time, as plainly and distinctly
as before, he heard the warning voice,
"Shut Off" Without further delay, he
ut once pushed the throttle valve clear in,
and shut the steam entirely of. Of
course, as the train was going up a rising
ground, 1T at once slacEened its speed, and
not moment too soon, for around the
rocks was the rear end of freight train
slowly toiling up the grade.

"The press is great engine of reform,
but it would do intellectually more good

its readers to read the articles prepared

There is standing upon the bank OF the
river at Riverton, Greenup county, Ky,
an old apple tree, which tradition says
was planted by Daniel Boone more than
half century ago, when he was on a
visit to his brother, Jesse Boone, who
lived on the farm now known rs River
ton. In the old graveyard. near by, the
remains of the mother of Daniel Boone
are believed to be buried, and also those
of the grandfather of Gen. J. b. Hood,
the Confederate officer. In digging the
foundation of a new store recently at Mt.
Olivet, the workmen discovered two
posts about four feet in length. and about
seven feet apart, standing perpendicular
~ in the ground, and about five or six
feet below the surface. At the foot of
one of these posts was a large square
rock. on which was inscribed, in plain
but roughly carved letters, "D. B.,
IT'S" The posts, on exposure to the air,
ut once crumbled to dust. 1t is probable
these initials were made by Daniel
Boone, as he spent considerable por-
ton of his time in this neighborhood
years ago.
The minneapolis 1rioune tells OF an
EngIishman, who arrived in that city a
few dxys ago, en- route for Manitoba,
having in charge small steam engine,
complete. He was taking it to the Red
river for manufacturing purposes, and up
to the time of his arrival at Minneapolis,
It had cost him, in the way OF freight, &c,
over 81 200, when he could have pur-
chased, in that city, one as good in every
particular, tor $3.50. He had no idea
they made such things in the " blasted
COUNTRY.

To the Editors Of the Union and American:
Cross PLAIN, TENN, May l, 1S71.-I
having noticed in you paper of the 9th
of April, an article by 'tDeens,n in
which he refers to our pleasant little vii
lsge in a complimentary manner, and
says, "that there is some considerable
excitement" in our community "sbOUt
the assault made upon DR.. McCargo some
weeks since by some persons knocking
him down." etc. There are, as under
sand the matter, two mistakes in his
notice: First in regard to the excitement,
and second, in regard to the number of
persons that assaulted or struck DR.. Nc
Cargo. Presenting your correspondents
permission, will correct him in these
two instances.
There is.nOt now nor ever has been but
little excitement in this matter, no more
than is usual over an ordinary knock
down in s quiet neighborhood. There
was but one person that had anything
whatever to do with making the assault
or knocking the Doctor down, and that
person was Prof. John n. Walton, who
is Mayor of Cross Plains. The difficulty
originated out of that article published in
the Springfield Record, and signed by
DR.. McCargo, portion of which was
published in your paper few weeks
since; but you had it the Mayor of Spring
field in your first instead of Cross Plains,
and was corrected in your next Walton
considered himself slsDdered by the srti-
Gle, hence arose the difficulty. He only
struck McCargo two or three ticks with
a stick, when be was promptly arrested

LIBEL SUITS AGAINST THE
PRESS.

We notice that in St Louis and Chicago
lately there hsve been libel suits against
the Republican and the Times. These
journals, in common with all the leading
and first class papers, have always suit
or two of this character on hand, and the
fact is credItable tribute to their fear
lessness and independence in criticism of
men and things. This is what the people
want and expect in the press, and yet for
which it is often subject to be annoyed
and prosecuted. In ninety-nine cases out
of hundred there is no msrce in any of
the so-called ibelous articles that are pub
ished in the public journals, for the par
ties are generally unknown. They are
the result of defective information and
imperfect evidence, hastily considered and
published, but which OF the time is be
ieved TO be authentic and reliable. In all
such cases the press is willing to do JUS
tice and to make the proper retraction and
explanation if ii is informed of the real
facts by the parties complaining. But
often urged on, not by desire TO be set
right and to have their characters vindi-
Gated, but by feelings of avarice and vim
dictiYeness, parties bring suits in which
they are almost always WOrsied, ard OBJ

THE BURNING OF MONTGO SERY
RLAUR,S HOUSE.
From the Lynchburg Virginian.


LYNoHBURG, April %, 1S71.-In your
paper of to-day, observe en- article in
reference to the Hon. Montgomery Blsir's
present political status, in which it is said
that he was "an original Republican, and
member of Lincoln's cabinet, whose
house was burned by Gen. Early on his
march to Washington As the inference
from this statement would be that Mr..
Blair's house was burned by my authority
or orders, deem it necessary TO correct
the statement, inasmuch as it is made in
a paper published in the place where re-
side, and failure to do 90 might be con-
strued into an acquiescence in lis correct
ness.
On arriving in front Of Washington l
had guards placed at the houses of both
Mr.. Montgomery Blair and his father,
Mr.. Francis p. Blair, ST., as soon as l
was informed that some depredatiOns had
been committed at the house of the latter.
Some articles which had been taken from
MIR. Frank Blsir's house were recovered
and left in charge of friend of the fam
| ily, and all further depredations stopped.
Dir. Montgomery Blair's house was fired sf-
ter the guard withdrew from it, on The night
that we retired, and the fact was discover
ed as was moving back with the rear
of my force. How it was fired l have
never been able to ascertain; but it was
entirely without my sanction or authority,
or that of any one having command
among my troops. If the house was
burned by any of my en, it was by some
individual acting on bic own impulse, and
was contrary to my purpose or wish,
The only burning authorized by me at al
in the enemy's country, beside some rail
road bridges and trains of cars, was tha
of Mr.. Stevens iron works in 1868, anC
the town of Chambersburg, in 1864, and
both were strictly in accordance VIII
the recognized rules of war.

NIGHT sCENEINPARIS.

A correspondent, writing from Paris,
relates this adventure: Last night, re-
turning from my explorations, Approach
ed the Rue Mont Tabor about II o'clock
The sentinel at the corner cried out,
soul va Is 7" when l was nearly hun
dred spaces from him. halted and re-
sponded by the question, 'tCsnnot one
pass9" "Psssez au large" screamed the
guardian of the Republic in voice which
showed signs of TOO much absinthe. How
to pass any 'larger," or at more respect
full distance from the sentinel than the
width of the street, l knew not. l was
allowed to advance to within ten
PAGES, when, in laundering and
drunken voice, he cried, " VOuleZ
vous passer au lsrge9" which meant
''Will you do as tell you, and pass al
long range from me2" He evidently
thought meant to disarm him. 'NT-
tainly, which side, sentinel" ga votre
gauche, alors" Ito your left them. But
when l started to my left he raised bis
musket, and pointing it straight but very
unsteadily at me, reiterated, "nill you
keep at distanc.2" ''Shall not pass by
this si6e9" ''Sacre nom Dieu, don't you
know which is left9" l begged his par.
don for having ventured to judge for my.
self which was my left hand, and was
finally permitted to pass alive on the side
which l previously supposed to be my
right. Often, generally, in fact, the senti-
nels are reasonable and intelligent, but
cases like these occur frequently enough,
and any self-assertiOn would most likely
prove fatal.
