A Masnan,mou. niac,..mi.r.

A one-armed horsemen, recently
travelling through Missouri, stopped at
a black smith shop to have his horse
shod. The smith noticed the emty
sleeve, and asked him if he lost his
arm in the war. He replied, with a
sigh, that he did, and even more, going
on TO relate how he left home to enlist
in the Southern army, and at the close
Of the war, on going back he found
that his wife who thought him dead,
had moved away, and he had since been
unable to obtain trace of her.
What is your namcp asked the
blacksmith.
When the answer was u. NJ. Wal
rup," he suddenly released the hoof
over which he had been bending, and
without looking at the soldier, cried !
Follow me into the house" and hur-
riedly led the way. Result, the dis
covery of Mrs. Walrup with three
new children by her side. She had
supposed Walrup dead, and had ac-
cordingly been married to the black
smith. The two men wisely came to
the conclusion to let the lady choose
between them, and she elects in favor
of Walrup. Then she says she cannot
do without the children, and tho black
smith says, after most painful pause,
You shall take them, my dear. -
when the steamboat ST. Luke, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer, in most
touching paragraph, stopped at the
landing some hours later, Walrup
went on board with his still weeping
and thick veiled wife, and the black
smith followed with his children. TIE
boats bell rang for the starting, and
the separation was at hand. The crew
the passengers, the captain-all who
witnessed it-were affected to tears by
tho touching scene.
with great drops rolling down his
tawny cheek, the smith kissed the
children one after another, and in a
choking voice bade their mother an
eternal good bye. The two men gazcd
wistfully at each ether's faces, shook
hands long and earnestly. and then the
blacksmith, by strong effort of iron
will, released the hand of Walrup,
and walked quietly TO the shore. He
never turned his face again toward tho
boat, which soon passed out of sight
around mcrciful bend in the river,
but strode on, with head bowed down,
to the home whittier the voice of his
wife and children should welcome him
no more.

BATTLE OF FORT DONELSON.

Below we give poem written at Camp
Morton, Ind, by member of Graves Ken
lucky battery, and given Mr.. VIM. J. Har'
ris, member of the Petersburg Co. in the
4lst Tenn. Regiment C. 9. A., who after
having endured the many privations and
hardship at Donnelson, in prison, and the
sick trip South, died soon after our OK.
change at Clinton, Miss, Oct. IS, 1862. VIC
thank a devoted sister of " Billy" Iar-
ris for copy of the poem;
We fought in battle long and well,
Where rolls the Cumberland in pride,
And where the hills of Dover swell,
Our cannon poured an iron tide.
We fought with men as proud and brave
As any In our own brave lines,
And have sent to the dark grave
Many comlier form than mine.
God rest them In their narrow homes,
No battle can their slumber mar,
AS calm they sleep from childhoed's
And manhood's haunts afar,
My comrades fell on every hand,
Pierced through, ,palsying heart and brain
Where all our guns now Idly stand,
Which we can never man again.
Green blow the sweet wild flowers.
That their lone graves will strew,
When come the warm and balmy hours
And May shall bring the morning dew.
We fought for freedom from chain,
No Anglo Saxon soul would wear,
But we have fought, alas in vain,
And yet the calling links we bear.
We pine in this cold prison hall
Beneath the scorpion lash of wrong,
While the dark days of bondage crawl
Like wouned snakes along.
God speed the bright, and glorious day
When demon war, and strife shall cease
When man forbeareth man to slay,
And all the world shall be at Peace.

of our ingenious readers can solve il {:
There is a place on the surface of

Immediately put on those which tho

A Territory without Taxes,

Colorado presents state of fnan-
cial prosperity as territory unequal
ed in the history of a new State, if not
entirely without precedent. There is
no indebtedness of any kind hanging
over the territory. There is a surplus
of $50, 900 in the treasury. The cur.
rent expenses of the government are
less than $4,000 per annum. The
law provides that no tax shall be lev.
led for the current year, 1872; and
that the tax of 1873 shall not exceed
one and one half mills on the dollar
When the legislature meets again in
January, 1874, the present surplus will
scarcely be diminished. These arc
simple facts stated in plain manner
Here is territory with no debt, nt
taxes, and hard cash in the treasury.
Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 186?-1872, 1872-05-25

The Supreme Court of the United
States has decided that notes given for
slaves before the war arc collectable
by law. This is an important decision,
and is, perhaps, just; although il
seems hard. IL will bring financial
ruin to many.

whose legs were firm, while his brain
appeared perfectly sober, though ne

The best investment a farmer can
make for his children is that which
surrounds their youth with rational
delight of a beauteous home. The
dwelling may be small and rude, yet a
few flowers will embellish, as choice
fruit trees will enrich and gladden. it
while grass and shade are within the
reach of the humblest. Hardly any
labor done on farm is so profitable
as that which makes the wife aud
children proud of their home.
