EACH MOMENT CALLS.
BY MARY q. MACINTOSH.


One 10y one the sands are falling,
Falling from the glass Of life;
One by one the moments calling,
Urge Us onward 10 the strife
Urge Us to grid on the armOr,
And press forward TO the van,
Where the battle wakes warmer
For thy gsod, D brother man
CHANGING backward DER the ages,
See we those with front sublime
Bards inspired, and ancient sages,
GoI-like men Of every time,
Who have struck the chord Of glory
With a masters sklllful hand,
And have left their lives bright story
Asa guerdoh TO the land.
These have rent the clouds asunder
That would else impede our way,
And revealed TO us the wonder
OF this new, complete day
For to-day clasps all the treasures
of the. backward gliding years
Fl. All the profits. sH the pleasures,
All the connlCts, All Tie Tears
May it be our great endeavor
To press oaward with the best;
Notrt1g lsUstted, may We never
Give UuFs lses momsnPsreSt,
Think not tkai the hours will hnger
- For some noble work uHdOne:
Time with fixed. unerring finger,
POINTS us 10 Lhe setting san.
When the last brave word is spoken,
When the day for us Is DER,
When the glass Of fife y broken,
And the sand shall run no more
When our deeds have been rewarded,
Both the evil and the good
May we each have leftreeOrded:
He has done the best he could.

GenI Tay or as a Historian.

GenT TAYLOR, although an excellent
soldier, and a man of strong good
sense in the everyday affairs of life;
had been educated in the camp, and
/ knew no more of craftsmanship or the
operations of government than q
/ Comanche Indian; nor was he dlst1n-
Ruished for cOlloquial accomplish
ments or narrativs or descriptive tall
ent. Then he had q habit OF heslta-
ton in conversation that amounted
almost to a stammer. He spoke IN q
terse. sententious style upon subjects
with which he was familiar, and his
suggestions, especially on military
matters, were marked by quick per
ception and sound Judgment. Bat
| he was never diffuse or demonstra-
tive, and wasted no words upon any
body.
Judge Butler, a colleague in the
| senate of Mr.. Calhoun, calling to pay
his respects to the president, begged
him to describe the manner in which
the battle of Buena Vista was fought.
! His brother, Pierce Butler, command
| inc the Palmetto regiment, and very
gallant officer, fell in the battle, and
| the Judge was naturally anxious to
learn the particulars of that desper-
ate contest. ''Wen, well, judge, you
want to know how the thing was
done. Come and dine with me to-
day, and I'll tell you all 1 know
about.
Judge Butler was a hasty, impetu-
GUS man, and the words flowed from
his mouth in torrent whenever he
had occasion to speak. He was all
impatience during the dinner, and
the moment they were alone he
brought up the subject of the battle.
eyes, yes, judge, your brother was
a brave man, and behaved like true
soldier. But about the battle-you
want to know how it was foughtr'
Eyes, general, if you Will be SO
kind. I wish to learn how your
troops were disposed on the field, and
how you posted them to resist force
so overwhelming. Santa Anna must
have outnumbered you four or five
to one.'
'The difference was greater thar
that. 1 think, but we didn't stop tC
count the Mexicans. / knew thert
was heavy force, and longed for
couple of regiments more OF regu
lars"
Undoubtedly" said the judge
! ''but what was your order of bat
tle?"
''Why, why, you see, judge, W,
went to fighting early in the morning
the first day, and we fit all day long
losing a good many men, and at nigh
it looked pretty bad"
''Well, what next?"
ErWhen 1t got darkI rode over Il
Saltillo to look after our stores ant
/, to provide against a surprise"
''Why did you go yourself? VIII
. not send Cne of your aids?"
"YOu see, judge, everything de
pended on not having our supplie
, cut of, and wanted to see afte
things myself"
GLOW was it the next mornin!
when you came on the field?" inquired
Judge Butler.
'Not much change since the nigh
before"
''Who was the first man you met?
-, "Gen'l Wool"
"And what did he say!"
:. Calls lost"
"What was your reply!
Maybe so, general-we'n see
!: And upon that we went to fightin
! again, and fit all that day, and towar
. night it looked better.
4 "The judge, looking rather blank
= asked, ''What neIt?"
4 "Well, the next morning it was n
u ported to me that Santa Anna and a
% his men had disappeared in the nigh
and was devihsh glad to be rid {
! them SO. "-Harper's Magazine.

Divide and Conquer.

The Memphis Register, which is
regarded as bourbonic in its democra-
cy, advises against any democratic
nomination for State offices in Missis-
sippi, in the canvass now on hand,
but that attention should be paid to
the Legislature. Its advice is, to "di-
vide and conquer"
ssThe spirit of liberty having been
crushed by the hand of federal pow
er in Louisiana and South Carolina,
the attention of the destructionists is
now turned TO Mississippi, as the
next intended victim of despotism.
The carpet-bagger Ames is the head
and front of the movement in the lat
ter state, Just as Kellog was and is in
Louisiana, and it behoOves the DEM
ocracy of Mississippi to keep clear
from all entangling alliances with ell
ther wing of the plunderers, and keep
a steady eve Oh the filing of the leg
islature with men who can be trusted.
! 1t seems to ms that it would be the
height of folly for the Democracy to
mt a candidate in the field for COVER
nor at the present crisis. Let Ames
and Powers have the field to them
selves, and if the Democrats vote in
the governors contest at all let it be
on the principle Of taking either as
; the least of two evils. They are both
carpet oaggers, and are of course for
4 self in preference to the success OF
their party, and each will betray hls
marty to the extent of his ability.
The time has arrived when, the lions
, skin being too short, the Conservative
of Mississippi should exc it out with
I that of the fox. Either Ames OF Pow,
ers would be as good as aimless, and
, certainly powerless with Democrat
: ic majority In the general assembly
! of the State. We feel deep interest
in the cause of ,Mississippians, and il
we can aid their cause against carpet
q bagism and corruption, we will cheer
: tfu1y lend helping hand"

Love Will Not Forget.

The bard may miss the wreath Of fame
That other temples bind around,
And wounds and Yalor vainly claim
The praise that glory's trumpets sound.
Though wrapped in self the world pass by
And song and deed be coldly met,
Life is not all obseurity-
For love will never quite forget.
Some ear will catch the homely notes,
And fondly linger DER the strains
Some heart beat high when proudly floats,
The flag the soldier bore with pain.
Though glory mock and fame deceive,
Though hopes may wither-eares beseti
None in all loneliness shall grieve-
some loving. one will not forget.

The bad feeling against the railroads
in Illinois has been wrought almost to
frenzy by the horrible disaster on the
Chicago & Alton railroad at Lamont.
The people are not willing to look up
on it as an accident, and the Governor
of the State, Common Councils OF cit
ties, iuries end newspapers are mp IN
arms. The conductor in charge OF the
train is to be convicted of murder; so
is the engineer, but we do not antici-
pate any such verdicts. That they
ought to be, if the railroad company
is not at fault, is clear proposition,
but that they will be is doubtful. 1t
has never been done in America
But the loss of life is not murder
when it is effected by a corporation
Such is not only the theory but the
practice. Nobody is responsible IN a
corporation; which having no soul,
and perpetual life, can cut the throats
or multilate the bodies of half the
population in Illinois with impunity.
The necessity for legislation to pro-
tect the public against the crimes OF
corporations is apparent enough, and
it ought to be applied promptly but
wisely.-AU6IdRche.

WoULDx'F TAKE A MnLIoN.-Horace

Vanderbilt. He was a hard worker
bnt kept very irregular habits. Van

"Horace, you eat too much; you

TENDER PANS OUTDoNE.-A gentle
youth and fair maiden of Texas have
outdone all other tender pairs in their
manner of getting married. They e.
loped together from school, and duly
armed with Ecece, rushed post-haste
to a minister on Red River, and de-
sired him to perform the fateful cere-
mony. This the man refused to do,
his reason being that neither the lady
nor gentleman was yet of age, and
the law mightn't like it. Despair
was about to overwhelm the couple,
when they were struck by an idea.
There we're no boats to be had, but
cottonwood logs were abundant.
They bestowed themselves carefully
on one of these, previously moorine
it to the bank with q long rope, and
then they having drifted far enough
into the stream to be considered out
ef Texas, the minister gracefully
cIimed stamp at the waters edge
and pronounced the solemn sentences
of the ceremony.-ETchGnge.

"CoULDN'r, Cos HE SUNG So. -
Leaning idly over fence, few days
since, we noticed boy amusing him
self in the grass by watching the
frolicsome hight5Of the birds playing
around him. At length q beautiful
bobolink perched upon the dropping
bough of a tree, which extended to
within a few yards of the place
where the boy sat, and maintained d
his position, apparently unconscious
Of danger. The boy appeared aston
ished at his impudence, and after re-
garding him steadily for a minute or
two, obeying the instinct of his baser
part, he picked up stone and was
preparing to throw it. The little arm
was reached backward without alarm
ing the bird, wheu 10 ! the throat
swelled and forth came natures plea:
"a Iink-a lik-a link, bob-a-link,
know it, 1 know it ! And he didn't. "
Slowly the arm subsidized to its natu-
raj position, and the stone dropped.
Anxious TO know this sudden
change, we inquired:
why didn't you stone him, my
boy? You might have killed him and
carried him home"
The little follow looked up as tho
he suspected our meaning, and with
an expression of half shame and hall
sorrow, he replied:
Il could't, COS he sung so !"

LAYERNG SHRUBs.-It is often to u
D a subject of surprise to find so few
: persons, especially those residing il
/. the country at a distance from nurse
$ ries, who attempt to increase thei
n stock of shrubbery by layering tn
n branches. Almost every variety o
n shrub can be thus multiplied. Eve
: among those who do this it is not OF
# ten that the queen of flowers, tn
a Rose is thus treated. 1t is usual
? propagated by sticking cuttings frol
e the new wood in August and nursin
It carefully through the winter. Ii
II layering the growing branches, how
d ever, 1t is by the succeeding season
bloomer; and this too can be easil
e done, that is, without the use of
ll sash or hot bed, usually resorted
v with the cutting. In laying dow
u take a sharp knife and slit the part
lr the branch that enters the groun
is from one joint to another, then GOV
ar with two inches of soil, and fast
