JOHNNY GLEN.

The Washington Star says: Among
the many notable persons at the inau-
guration of President Grant was John
l.. Glenn, of the Twenty fourth United
States Infantry, who reached home
few days since from his regiment at
Fort Brown, Texas, in order to place in
the National Asylum an invalid soldier.
Lieut.. Glenn has a national reputation
and is written down in "Frank Moore's
Rebellion Record" and in .Iossing's
History of the Civil Conflict in America"
as "Little Johnny Glenn, the Drummer
Boy Of Chickamauga,' at which battle
he laid aside his drum and assumed the
musket during the entire day. During
the retirement Of the Union army from
the field he then performed a gue,re de
mort upon a Colonel of Texan regiment
who had ridden up with drawn sword
demanding his surrender, by suddenly
swinging up his musket from an order
arms and emptying the saddle of his as
sallant. This daring act of one so young
sent his name flying through the coun-
try. He afterwards had his little horse
killed under him, and was wounded in
the shoulder at the same time, at Allan
ia, while delivering dispatch from
Major General Thomas to General Logan.
He entered the army in May 1861, be-
fore he was ten years of age, as drum
mer boy, and served with distinction un-
| til the close of the war, during which
time he was present at Shiloh, and at
nearly every other battle in which the
Army of the Cumberland was engaged
He is the youngest officer ever commits
stoned In the United States, and Los
sings History speaks of him as the
youngest person, of whom we have any
account, that ever bore arms in battle,
either In this country or in Europe and
his military record is matter of history
upon the files Of the War Department.
Considering his years. he is without a
peer, either in the Old World or the
New.

How MUCH THE HOG WEGHED.-A
bluff looking man, in a farmers work-day
costume, entered railway car at way
station. The car was we'll filled, all the
seats being occupied but one, which was
half filled by a finely dressed exquisite.
The farmer seeing his only chance for a
seat, asked the exquisite if t'other half
was took Receiving the negative
answer he responded: "Wall, then, |
reckon I'll squat.
Like most of our hardy yeomanry,
he was inclined to be very sociable
"Snug winter morning" said he.
No response.
..Shoul an't wonder if we had some
more snow afore night. "
Still no response from exquisite, who
looked out of the rear window, evidently
much annoyed.
After several attempts to elicit some
reply, the farmer gave yawn, and quii
city remarked:
KILLED a hog yesterday; tyou can't t
guess how much it weighed ,"
Driven almost to desperation, the poor
fellow said. tartly:
-Four hundred pounds. =
Yawning again-s'No, didn't weigh
that
"Well, three hundred and fifty, then. .
Another yawn-"No. didn't weigh
three and half"
Very impatiently-'.Three hundred. .
Yawning still-"No, not that much. .
Almost ready to explode-''How much
did your old hog weigh, anyhow -
w aal, he want much of hog. and
! didn't weigh him.''

Some heaitess wretch has been poking his probos-
els among the flowers of poesy and goes off in ag-
onzing parody Ben Bolt in the following slashng
style:
Don't you remember lame Sally, Joe Jones?
Lame Sally, whose nose SO brown
Who looked like clam if you gave her a smile,
And went into fits at your frown?
In the old goose-pond in the orchard Joe Jones,
Where the goslins are learning to swim,
Lame Sally went fishing one wet windy day,
And there by mistake tumbled in
Under old Sims brush fence. Joe JONES'
That winds at the foot of the hill
Together we've seen the old camel 90 round,
Grinding cider at Appetons mill;
The mill wheel is oven wood now, Joe JONES'
The rafters fell on to a COW,
And the weases and rats that round as you gaze
Are the lords of the cider mill now
Do you remember the pig pen of logs Joe Jones'
Which stood on the path to the barn?
And the shirt button trees, where they grow on the
boughs,
Which we sewed in our Jackets with yarn?
The pig pen has gone to decay, Joe Jones,
And the lightning the tree overcome;
And down where the onions and carrots once grew
Grows thistes as big your thumb.
Don't you remember the school, Joe Jones?
And the master who wore the old wig?
And the shady nook by the crook of the brook
Where we played with Aunt Catharine's pig?
Mice live in the masters wig Joe Jones,
The brook with the crook is now dry
And the boys and girls that were playmates then,
Have grown up ever so high.
There is a change IN the things love- Joe Jones'
They have changed from the good to the bad
And feel in my stomach to tell the TRUTH
I'd like to go home to my dad.
Twelve times twelve months have passed Joe Jones'
Since knocked off your nose with rail!
And yet believe I'm your only true friend,

HOW THE DUTCHMAN GAVE A
PROMISSOEY NOTE.

There were two early German settlers
in the western part of Pennsylvania,
whose names were Peter and John
-. Peter had increased the size of
his farm by annexing to it a small tract
of land adjoining, and he lacked about
hundred dollars of the sum which it
was necessary to pay for his new acqui-
sition. He called upon his neighbor
John to borrow the amount John con-
sented at once, and, going into another
room. he brought out an old bread bas-
ket and counted down the desired num-
Der of dollars and then the two sat
down to two large earthen mugs of cider,
and as many pipes of tobacco. After
smoking over the matter for while it
occurred to Peter than in similar trans
actions he had seen or heard something
like a note passing between the borrow
er and lender, and he suggested as much
to John. The lender assented to the
propriety of such course. Paper, pen,
and ink were produced and between the
two a document was concocted, stating
that John had loaned Peter 500, which
Peter would pay to John in three months.
This Peter signed, and thus the two f.
nanciers made the thing "all regular and
ship. shape" But at this point a diff
Guilty presented ITSELF They both knew
that notes were drawn in the operation
of borrowing and lending money, which
they had witnessed but neither of them
had observed what disposition was made
of the document neither could tell
whether it was for the borrower or lend
er to take charge of the paper. Here
was dilemma At last bright idea
struck John: "You have de money to
pay, Peter, so you must take dis paper,
so you can see as you haf to pay it. y
This was conclusive the common sense
of the thing was unanswerable and Pc
ter pocketed the money and his own
note so '.as he could see as he haf to pay
it, Three months passed away, and
punctually to the day appeared Peter,
and paid over the promised sum to john
This being done, the mugs and pipes
were again filled. After putting while
Peter produced the note and handed il
to John, with the remark: 'sNow, John,
you must keep de note, so that you can
see de money haf been paid

CAPTIVITY AND DEATH OF
MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS.


For nineteen years Mary Stuart re-
mains a prisoner under guard, wearing
away the weary hours with ''needle work,
with dogs, with turtle-doves. and Bar
barry fowls She cools her feverish i'm
patience to the last by mad gallop in
fair weather after the hounds. The con-
fnement is not severe, but the torture is
insupportable, for the hope of deliver
ance is never. .quenched. Elizabeth new
er announces definite purpose concern
ing her royal prisoner, probably never
has one. For nineteen years both cap
tive and captor are made miserable by
plots and counterplots and whether
Mary in prison or Mary at large is more
dangerous to the security of Protestant
England is question SO hard to decide
that Elizabeth never fairly attempts to.
determine it.
At length a plot is discovered more
dangerous than any which has preceded.
Half score of assassins band themselves
together to attempt Elizabeth's life, and
to put Catholic Mary on the throne
The blessing of the Pope is pronounced
on the enterprise. The Catholic powers
of Europe stand ready to welcome its
consummation. Mary gives it her cor
dial appreciation. The hour of deliv-
erancc," she writes, sis at hand" But
plots breed counterplots. In all the di-
plomatic service Of Europe there is no so
ingenious spy as Walsingham, Eliza
beth's Prime Minister. Every letter of
Mary's is opened and copied by his
agents before sent TO its destination
The conspiracy is allowed to ripen. Then
when all is ready for consummation, the
leaders are arrested, the plot is brought
to the light of day.
Mary, with all her faults, never knew
fear; no cavern heart was hers. The

bling hells and exchange them for chan
ces to win few dollars from other men
who have left their families, their wives
and children, to gamble away their
small earning. You but help to build
up the fortune of the unprincipled man
who owns the hell and deals the game
of moral and pecuniary destruction. If
you have an hour to spare from labor,
give it to reading and enjoyment at home
Cheer your wife in her duties, select
pleasant stories and read them to your
children. Try the habit of domesticity.
The best lounging place is your own
house, and the best club to join is your
own family. Stick to that idea, and
work up the spare hour by improving it
to the Intellectual advantage of your
self and household. If you properly be-
stow your leisure from toll you will in
the end find that toll itself will not be
SO great burden. By study you will
discover wherein lies the mystery of your
toll, and means will be opened to you by
which the business you are engaged in
will assume almost an intellectual amuse-
ment. An hour a day amounts at the
end of the year to 365 hours In that
time how many valuable books may be
read, how much pleasure enjoyed in your
own home, and how blessed you will be
in the gratitude of your wife and the in
innate and cultivated love of your child
