A general, after gaining great victory,
was encamping with his army for the night.
He ordered sentinels to be stationed all
round the camp as usual. One of the SEN
tinels, as be went to his station, grumbed
to himself, aud said "Why could not the
general let us have quiet nights rest for
once after beating the enemy? I'm sure
there's nothing to be afraid of"
The man then went to his station, and
stood for some time looking about him. 1t
was bright summers night with a har-
vest moon, but he could see nothing any
where; so he said; | am terribly tired
| shall sleep for just FIVE minutes, out of
the moonlight under the shadow of this
tree" So he lay down.
Presently he started up, dreaming that
some one had pushed lantern before his
eyes, and he found that the moon was shin.
ing brightly down upon him through hole
in the branches Of the tree above him. The
next minute an bullet whizzed past his ear,
and the whole field before him seemed alive
with soldiers in dark green coats, who
sprang up from the ground, where they had
been silently creeping onward, and rushed
toward bin.
Fortunately the bullet had missed him +;
so he shouted aloud to give the alarm, and
ran back 10 some other sentinels. The
army was thus saved, and the soldier said I;
" shall never forget, as long as live, that
when one is at war one must watch"
Our whole life is war with evil. Just
after we have conquered it, it sometimes
attacks us when we least expect it. For
example, when we have resisted the temp
tation to be cross and pettish or disobedient,
sometimes when We are thinking, E" How
good we have been!" comes another sudden
temptation, and we are not on our guard,
and do not resist it. Jesus says :, us
" Watch and pray, that ye enter not into
."-ParaJles for Children.

The Knoxville Press and Herald
Of Monday mentions the arrival in
that city of Mr.. J. Adger Smyth, Of
Charleston, South Carolina, who
went there and will very likely
come to Memphts-for the purpose
Of obtaining the assistance Of busi-
ness men in the establishment Of a
line of steamships between Charles
ton and Bremen or Liverpool.
The great difficulty, heretofore, in
the way of establishing direct steam
communication between q southern
port and Europe, has been the fail
urc of the owners to secure inward
freight for their vessels. This ne
cessitatcd an increase in the rates
Of freight outward bound in order
to cover loss, and the increased
tariff prevented the certainty Of sc.
curing u sufficicncy of freight, and
rendered it impossible for any sail
ing day to be fixed and advertised.
This obstacle can be removed if the
merchants OF the south will unite
and give proper encouragement to
MIR. Smyth in tho work he has un.
dertaken. Ship-owners in Eng
land have agreed to start . line OF
steamships to Charleston, leaving
that port twice a month, or oftener
ifnecesaary, on stated days. when
ever sufticiency ofinward freights
is secured to warrant them in com.
mcqcing operations The object,
therefore, OF MIR. Smyth's visit to
Knoxville, and to Memphis, is that
he may call in person upon all the
importers end merchants, and after
giving them the guarantees he is
authorized to make as to the speedy
and puhctval carriage Of goods, to
secure their cooperation,
