THE. SOLDIER OF IsCI-5.
BY oSE OF THsM.

OF all the long list Of heroes aud patriots that
went down before the iron hole Of the enemy
none met death more bravely than JERRY Grs.
FORD, Color Sergeant of the 9th. o. V. |
JERRY was a Lucas county boy, the son Of
widow, aud was ambitious aud brave to
fault.
During one of the battles that his Regiment
COX part in, the colnrs having fallen, jerry
caught them up and carried them through Ihe
battle. For this act Of bravery he was promo
ted to be Color Sergeant. This position re-
eaved him from picket duty, yet be volun
leered to do that duty. He desired to be Order
Iy Sergeant of his company, but his lack of
education untitled him for that position, and he
was still permitted to hold the post Of danger
therefore the post Of honor, post he never de
serted.
On the second Of April, 1865 the Old Iron
Brigade" was drawn up in line OF battle in
front Of Fort Gregg, near Petersburg, Va. just
before the charge was made member OF the
Color Guard complained that the flag tapped
iu his face and bothered him iu marching, and
requested JERRY to roll up the hig, JERRY
told him that he would go so far ahead Of hin
that the Tag would not bother himi that he
would not give a cent for flag unless II wa,
unfurled. When Gen Yohris in his clear, ring
ing voice gave the order to charge, the old
Regiment went into the charge with shout
! Ahead Of all others could be seen the tall foru
Of the Color Bearer carrying alo't the Old bat
| tle-scared flag Befure he reached the fort h'
WAS struck with two rebel bullets, one OF whiel
| killed him instantly. The colors were the'
caught up by Corporal Decker, who was soo'
disabled. Corporal Priest then carried tn
coors iuto the fort.
The battle was won the next day and vi
marched away, leaving many brave BE-!
asl eep-whom The eannou's roar will neVe
awake again. Let us cherish their memories
and though they sleep in unmarked graves
yet their names will not soon be forgotten by
greatful people. Apoirhus'

The Rush 10 Kansas and Col
OradO

The indications are that the rush to Kansas
and Colorado will be greater than ever in 1874.
The shortest way to reach the far West is
through st. Louis, the great Mississippi Valley
City, of over 45O 900 Inhabitants, and thence
west over the st. Louis, Kansas City and North
eru Short Line, which reaches all the great land
grants in the West, and runs SIX fast expires
trains, two more than any other road, between
the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. This road
in the last two years, has expended over two
million dollars, besides earnings in extraordin-
airy improvements of roadway, in relaying its
line with best quality Of new steel and iron rails
on broad new ties, and in pAsse ger equipment,
having substituted for ordinary cars new reclin-
ing chair coaches, with every appliance for
comfort and safety, being elegantly carpeted
and fitted with dressing rooms, with toilet con-
veniences for ladies, gentlemen and families
raveling with children, free Of avg -rtra charge
Any ticket agent selling through tickets to the
West will furnish tickets by this excellent route
through st. Louis, over the st. Louis, Kansas
City and Northern Short Line, the best and
shortest to Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, Califor-
ola and the great West, il being the only line
running through cars between st. Louis and
Omaha. For map, circulars and time tables
address either J. +. McCARTsY, Cincinnati,
D; or p. b. GRoAT, st. Louis, No.. either Of
whom will furnish any information desired.

The farmer cannot succeed until he
learns TO live on what he makes after it is
made. and not on what he expects to
make before it is made. Many years ago
an economical, thrifty farmer, was asked
bv large cotrOn pltnter, why it was
that, though he was called poor farmer
and made much less to the hand than
many OF his neighbors, h. was prosper
ing, while they with all their broad acres
and heavy crops, were constantly tIlling
into debt and becoming emb Tra-sed.
He replied: You begin at the wrong
end, You buy your supplies at the brQin-
ming of the Y, ar on credit; | buy mine
at the end for cash" This was the trur
secret of the difference. Mr.. McDuffi',

Much that is superhuman
Sought that which would be
Like the coming woman.
At first God had once said
:" II is not good for man
To be alone" he's fed
Aud is clothed ~ by woman.
For ages man was pleased
With the '0ne BY his side.
She was toted and teasad-
Protected in his pride.
Woman to do 'fo dare
Was not suffered to move
Right or left. anywhere,
Her lord did not approve.
To vote, tn preach, to pray,
Unveiled, was masculine,
To keep out Of the way,
Cook and wash-feminine.
The women Of eighteen
Hundred and seventy -four,
However weak and green,
Resolved to do much more.
Men had legislated,
And they drank and they swor",
liz saloons belated,
OFT in filth aud in gore.
The demons were abroad;
They tortur'd aud they tore
Her own sons and her lord,
TILL her crush'd heart was sore.
Now you see her abroad.
She has left her retreat,
The dear babe and her lord,
And is out on the street.
There she is on her knees
Where God can hear her 70 ice,
See the rumseler fees
He has no other choice.
Those women Of eighteen
Hundred and seventy tour,
Not green. nor week. ween.
Are your bond slaves no more.
When God is on their side,
You may ever see them out,
Whatever may bstide,
They'll put demons to rout.
Do not doubt oyer much,
Ye sages superhuman,
For, without a doubt, such
Is the coming woman"
