and TO say that the surgeon attend
ing himself would be glad to tender
his aid to Mr.. pickinsons relief.
Polite reply was returned that Dick
insons $ case was beyond surgery. In
the course Of the day Jackson sent
bottle of wine to DR.. Catlet, for the
use Of his patient.
But there was one gratlhcatlo,1
that jackson could not, even IN such
circumstances, grant him. A very
old friend of Jackson's writes to me
thus +" Although the General mad
been wounded, he did not desire it to
be known until he had left the vlclnl-
tv and therefore had concealed it
from his friends. His reason for do
ing this, as he once stated tome. was,
that as Dickinson considered himself
the best shot in the world, and was
certain of killing the first fire, he did
not want him to have the gratifca-
toin even of knowing he had hit
him"

The revival OF the rage orfne and

Chantilly lace is the most desirable,

Cheap Pleasures.

Our cheapest pleasures are those
which can be grasped on all sides.
We can have them in exchange for a
smile, kind word, and q uniform
cheerfulness. There are people on
this earth who religiously expect
pleasure and happiness will come to
them in the same way that old time
rigor used to bring order to the house,
hold, and education in the school
room-by stern and unfinching dis
cipline, and a corporal punishment
that Las been modified from beating
with the rod to lashing with the
tongue. Pleasure and happiness are
something that cannot be- forced by
any such vixenish desire for their
possession. If people would have
pleasure, they must themselves be
pleasant. If they would have sun
shine, they must themselves come
out from behind their clouds of fault
finding, and peevishness and scold
ing. If things don't go Just right, II
makes them no nearer soto give then
a Xantippean blessing, and make al
the finer and more sensitive feelings
quake with apprehension. On th'
contrary, we can only coax pleasure
by gentle wands Of incantation' i
we want cheerful pleasure, we mus
remember that like attracts like. l
there are smiles, sunshine and flower
about US, let us not grasp them witt
a misers fist and lock them up in ou
hearts. No; rather let us take then
and scatter them about us, in theco
Of the widow, among the group o
children, in the crowded mart, wher
men Of business congregate, in ou
families, and everywhere. We cal
make the wretchedhap the discon
tented cheerful, the afflicted resigned
at an exceedingly cheap rate. VIII
will refuseto do it?
