Who'll be a Goat?

Some persons do not wish to remembe:
the late Confederate struggle for indepen-
dence they rather seek to forget the war
and all its incidents. But there are still
some incidents of that great war which
amuse us yet, as they amused US at the time
OF their occurrence. r
During the fall of 1868, soldier of the
3rd Alabama regiment strayed into Rich
mond, on leave Of absence, aud, about night
fall, he became tipsy from frequent draughts
Of liquid fire. Roaming over the city, he
at length entered an African church, when
he found negro preacher holding-forth on
the parable of the sheep and the goats. =
He took seat near the pulpit and gave the
preacher fixed attention. CHOW, my DR. sbe-
ren," said the orator, when dat great, final
day come round, de sheep, dey 60 upon de
right hand t., glory, and de goats. dey 60
upon de lief hand to everlastin torment
And now, my hsederen, in dat great, final
day, who here is gwine to be goat ~
Pausiug moment, he exclaimed, II say,
my brederen, who is to be goat :" An
other pause and he exclaimed. at the top Of
his voice. "My brederen, who'll be a
goat p
The anxious and excited Confederate
could stand the scene no longer, but rising
from his seat he suffered out, ''Look here
old fellow, sooner'n see this thing play out
III be the goat"

How is That for High.

A few days since, waggish gentleman
was walking down Broadway, N. Y, when
opposite the Trinity Church, whose srire is
five hundred and sixty feet from the ground,
he met German, and the following dialo-
que ensued
Good morning, Schneider. /" aa
"We gechts den.''
s.Do you know what church that is p
"Yaw, dos is der Drinity Church.
"You see the steeple and that little cross
,o-a-y up there P'
"Yaw, I saw him."
"Well, how is that for high p
The German looked pleased, and stratch-
ing his head, said !:
.'Dot is goot Der best I hear dose six
weeks; yaw, dot is very goot.
The wag went his way, leaving the man
smiling, scratching his head and gazing at
the little cross So high in the air. While
thus standing, smile over his face, friend
came along, and he thought to give him the
same good thing and have another laugh,
and said
"Hollo, Fritz-how you vas, eh a?
"Goot-How vas it going to be init your
self ~
''Goot all der vile. Do yeu know what
church am dere 2"
.Yaw-dere am der Driuity know

"Yaw, l see der leedle cross"
"You see him Yell shust ask you hoao

Then he laughed, and laughed, while the
other man replied:
II don't know; but what for you make
SO much laugh p
s'It's the sohoke-don you see kim--the

"No, don't see der schoke p

He learned with regret that Maurice hA
given up all attention to his property, and
refused to receive remuneration for his SER
vices Of the past few months. Of Annetta
he never heard. Three years rolled by,
and all this time Carl had settled i'll no par
ticular place but now he had determined
to settle in London, which he accordingly
did. He placed his wife at the head Of an
elegant establishment, and became noted as
most attentive husband He had not been
long in London, before he heard through
his steward, of the death of Maurice Then
did his thoughts fly to Annette Where
was she What was she to do alone in the
world These and like thoughts tortured
him. His wife notice his preoccupation
and asked its cause. -e3z
Nothing, Rosa he replied. mi
Are you too i'll to entertain your guests
tonight |?
No; ouly don't notice me. I am not
very WE'LL @
I am sorry
L know it, darling, but it will pass.
And any one to have seen Carl that
night would have thought he had not
care.
The guests arrived slowly, until they
numbered about twenty.
Not many to entertain, thought Carl,
but at that moment was announced Lord
and Lady T.
How is this 2 Carl could not refrain
from saying aloud.
"A surprise to you, Carl, replied Rosa, at
his elbow. Look she continued, is she
not beautiful, and is he not handsome =
Carl looked and stood transfxed it was
Annette who entered on the arm of her dis
tinguished husband, Lord I .a.
They met, shook hands and the proud
manner in which Annetta introduced her
noble husband, brought relief to the mind
OF Carl, for it showed him that Annetta's
heart was her husbands. Carl offered his
arm to Annetta, she accepted, and they
strolled TO the music room. T
You forgive p Carl could not refrain
from saying, gazing in admiration at the
lovely creature on his arm. !
your wife has told me her story. l
somehow won her con6d snce. My presence
here is meant to indicate my forgiveness and
approval sweetly replied Annetta
You are. then, happy = questioned Carl.
SO very, happy And youP
Perfectly from this night. For now
there are two rights and no wrong.

Bidding and Winkins at Auc-

Smith, the auctioneer, is popular man,
wit, and gentleman. No person is Of
Tended At what he says, and many hearty
laugh has he provoked by his humorous
sayings. He was recently engaged in the
sale of venerable household furniture, and
''fxings." He had just got to "going,
and half, a half, going !" when he saw a
smiling countenance, upon agricultural
shoulders, wink at him. A wink is always
as good as a nod to blind horse or keen
sighted auctioneer SO Smith winked, and
they kept 'going, going !" with a lot of
glassware, stove pipes, carpets, pots, and
perfumery, and finally this lot was knocked
down.
''To whom p said Smith, gazing at the
smiling stranger. 4

Memory's Path.


Adown the path where memory strays
Hang rosy thoughts of long ago;
And pure white hopes like clustering sprays
+ Ger laden with their blooms of snow.
And merry birds make music there,
r. Sweet melodies that never tire;
Joys brightly fill the Summer air
Like butterflies with wings of FIRE.
Adown the pathway sunbeams play,
Warming the tears that bead the grass,
Where gray 9robed thoughts, like nuns woul
q pray, q 9g ,gtesv,.-f
Where sorrows feet were wont to pass. sg9
Yet sorrow me- er kept pace with Hope,
Whose fairy feet scarce pressed the flowers,
That thickly fringed each lane and slope
In the Souls glad and sunny hours
And where the thoughts at evening Irvine,
Lips wreathe in smiles, earth sees no more,
Faces death7touched, and made divine, 80
Beam brightly from that peaceful shore
Alb, Memory, who would part with thee, Ig
Although thy paths hold many thorn: sF
And phantons rise we would not see, ,4,
And dark clad sins again are born.
Thou lay'st thy hand upon our head,
z And 10 the white locks turn to gold!
Our youthful paths again we tread, Sc
A mothers arm once more enfold 1T.
And when we reach the Better Land,
Thou still shall tell of this our earth,
Of the dear home loves breeze has famed
The dear old home that gave us birth! l.-
And still upon our heavenly way
Thou'lt be beside us evermore;
The same, except thy spirit lay,
Nor sin, nor death shah gather DER. sUs

To Boil A HAM.-Soak the ham for
twelve or fourteen hours, lay it in suitable
vessel, and cover plentifully with cold wa
ter; bring it very slowly to boil, and clear
off the scum Then draw back the sauce
pan to the edge of the stove that the ham
may be simmered softly, but steadily, until
tender. A bunch Of herbs, bay-leaf, and
few carrots thrown in will improve it.
The time required for boiling varies, accor-
ding to the size of the ham, averaging feur
hours and half.
