UnromantIc Appearance Of His
tOric Battle-Ground.

A correspondent OF the New York
, Evcning Post writes as follows from
Virginia:
Midway between Farmville and
Lynchburg is Appomattox. When the
brakeman opens the car door and calls
out in loud tone, "Appomattox," there
is q general rush OF head. to the car
windows and everybody looks out ca
gerly, as il expecting to see something
wonderful.
Nothing of the kind appears. less

A country store, a wheelwrights and a
blacksmith's shop, an aged individual

corners OF his mouth, and two or three
piles OF oak bark, constitute the first

windows of the train True, this is on.

Ulysses and Horace. Good by, my

the train moved of.
1t is related as a singular circum-
etance that the owner Of the farm on
which Lee surrendered, also owned the
farm on which the first battle Of Bull
Run, July Is, 1861, was fought. Flee
ing from the might of the Union
armies, he found in Appomattox, as he
thought, place TO which they would
never penetrate, and there. by singular
chance, witnessed the downfall OF the
Confederacy.

said) to seek out our own salvation
with fear and trembling. After all. it
is God who works in us to will and to
do His good pleasure. The sermon
