MISCELLANY.
Renaissance of 1912.

Previous to the War of 1872, the
residence of our townSman, Comm o.
dore NJ. NJ. Todd, at the foot of Free
mason street, was occupied by Com
modore Chen Captain Stephen De
catur, who dispensed old Virginia
hospitality with an unstinted hand.
At the time spoken Of in the suec-
dote given below, the Macedonian
WAS at anchor in cur harbor, and her
officers were the honored guests Of
many Of our citizens. Among others,
Captain Decatur gave large dinner
party to the EDglishmen at his resi-
dence, aud it was at bis table that the
conversation mentioned occurred.
The following is clipped from the
National Mdgzine, published during
or soon after the War Of 1912, and as
it possesses something ofa local in
terest, We give it entire.
Before the war Captain Garden and
the Macedonian were at Norfolk. De
catur was there, too, and warm
intimacy soon joined in friendship
two kindred hearts While discuss
ing naval matters one day, Garden
said: decatur, your ships are good
enough, and you are clever set Of
fellows; but what practice have you
in WARP" There's the rub. One of
these days we will probably have a
brush together, aud if catch your
ship at sea, will knock her into a
cooked hat-Stephen.'
"Will your said Decatur. II will
oct you hat on it. ="
The bet was agreed on, aud tie
conversation changed. But o few
months elapsed ere the war that had
been threatening commenced, and the
two captains, by some singular coin
cidence, met in battle; the one in the
Macedonian and the other 10 the
United States. The results Of the
actloo are known, Captain Garden,
on going on board the ship United
States, was received by Lieu euant
at the gaugway, to whom be rendered
his sword. Not to me, sir, y said the
officer, but to the Captain." "Aod

to Decatur, that officer said, "No Car.

SONG AND STORY.
AMONG THE WOODS.
BIZ ADA B. POSTER

Among the woods, through the fern-scentet
| stiffness,
reamed one sunny day,
When earth was green, ana the pTodu-oehuIhs
heavens
| In their blue caluness lay;
And glade and glen and upturned field were
The sweetness of young May.
Fell through the boughs the sunlight still and
softened,
In MANY a golden CLEAN,
AMI Wood and wave sent forth mystic murmur,
Like music In dream;
And the wind breathed through the low-bend-
ing branches,
It's secrets 10 the stream.
There was upon the air that swept my forhead,
A sense OF dawning lowers,
A dream OF summers tropic wealth an beauty,
Among the waiting bowers,
A hint are earnest OF some warmer splendOr,
That might not yet he ours.
And in nv heart there was an answering promise
As sweet thoughts filed my soul,
And through my brain, like some beguiling music,
still voice softly stole:
although fair buds are bursting III your Pa'h-
You have not reached life's goal!"
Each dell and dale, and mountain peak and
woodland,
Wore ti,e sweet look of spring;
An angel hand had traced on leal ana oiossohi'
And every earthly thing, .,-r,,.-
Its name, and sent It's message lightly thrliIng
Through every wild-bird's ring.
A swallow 5 song broke softly on the silence;
A doves long mournful note
Went Ike heart-call TO the listening spirit,
And then some sound would nOat,
Not wave nor wood nor wind nor yet SOFT
breathed
From some birds muliled throat;
But would thrill across the listning heart-strings
When natures voice was mutei
Sweet as the death-uote OF the swan, or
breathings
From some melodious flute;
Soft as the low strain sent across the waters
From exile maiden's lutte.
And spirit-sounds filed every fragrant silence,
An awe fell on the place,
As though an angel, from the throne OF Heaven,
Had Just unveiled It's face,
That on It's brow the words OF Hope ana ,hercy,
We might more clearly trace.
Twas not alone the blooming Of the flowers,
The green, upon the tree,
That told us that on mountain snd III neauo"
Hung springs sweet mystery; ,.
For prisoned in close and curtained chamber,
With folded eyes, might We
Feel that the winds so sweet and slow were
stirring
New life IN bud and bough,
That the fair skies In deeper blue were oeuulns
Ger the green valleys low, -,
And the freed stream went swiftly Ger us
pebbles
In musiC's gladdest now.
A brighter life was everywhere unfolding,
II was world made new,
And buds, pure from the tough OF angel-hngels,
Broke out IN freshest hue,
Where erst the skies in csldest gray were oending
War a vide world OF blue.
Oh, lovely sping! the sterncst heart must soften,
Whereer thy charms unfold,
Thy woods Of green and blossom-scehted
meadows,
Thy sunset skies OF gold,
Are fairer stiil because they bear message
or Gods great love untold.
O weary one, n in your tender spirit
The sting OF sorrow broodS,
There il a charm TO WOO you from your anguish,
IN these sweet sOlituGeS;
TIN. saddest soul grows sougiul IN the sunlight
Among these low hushcd woods.

4 yentriloquist's Joke,

We recently took walk, says {
writer in New Orleans paper, on The
wharf with friend, who was o good
ventriloquist.
Two hands Of one of our steamers
were engaged in rolling of oask,
when, to the CONSERVATION and sur
prise Of the persons engaged in per
forming that operation, a voice was
heard within the cask:
Roll it easy; these plsguey nails
hurt. I'd rather pay my passage
than stand all this"
Holding up their hands; their Wis
ualS expanded to the size Of two sau-
GERS, the lsborsrs exclaimed:
That beats the dickensp'
The mate coming up at this time,
and unaware Of the cause Of delay,
commenced cursing them for their
dilatoriness, when from within the
cask the voice came forth:
~ cure nobody, let me out Of
this cask."

the voice.

it over.
Cooper said the mate, "head the
cask and take that man OUT
AS the adz sundered the hoops
and the head was coming out, the
voice again broke forth:
"Be easy now; is there any one
about? | don't want to be caught"
Quite a crowd had now gathered
around the scene of action, when
loud gutteral laugh broke forth,
which made our hair stand on end,
as the cask was filled with bacon.

Rev. DR.. Deems says
"SleeplessneSs may sometimes be
involuntary. There may have been
some shock to the man g nerves which
has made him iDsom client; but sleep
lessness is more frequently voluntary:
Men choose to push their studies or
their work into those hours when
they should be asleep. 1t does not
matter for what cause any man may
do this; the mere fact Of not sleeping
spoils his case. He may spend his
nights in the theatre, in the study,
or in the protracted meeting. 1t
will make no difference; the result to
the body will be the same. The
sleep was not bad, and for that the
man must pay. One man may do
with a little less sleep than an
other; but as general rule, if you
