THE MONITOR-MERRINAC
FIGHT.

Col. LeGrand B. Cannon of Burling-
ton. the aid-de-eamp Of Gen. Wool when
that officer was in command at Fortress
Monroe at the time Of the Monitor-Mer-
rimae fight. has published his .'recollec-
tiOns" Of that affair in thin pamphlet,
having been requested to prepare them
BY G. V. Fox. the assistant naval secre-
tary at the time Col. Cannon's most
original contribution, perhaps, to the
literature Of the battle concerns the first
acquaintance of our government with
the Merrimae- As early as December,
1861, mechanic IN the Norfolk navy
yard communicated the character of the
work Of the Merrimac to Gen Wool, and
about February l5. full plans of the
rebel campaign and details Of the pro-
gress Of the work were obtained through
the same source Col. Cannon was sent
TO Washington with the news He found
Secretary Stanton sick, and was taken
into a cabinet meeting BY Mr. Lincoln.
The government was therefore not taken
by surprise EheE the Merrimac came
out, and had really nothing with which
TO oppose her, but the wooden vessels.
which up TO that moment in the naval
history Of the world had been the high
est form Of naval strength. Col Cannon
further says that the first suspicion that
the Merrim4c was on her way down from
/ Norfolk was derived from the fact that
the French ecrvettes. whose officers had
been up to Norfolk under flag Of truce
all got up steam on Saturday morning
without having given any formal notiee
Of their departure at the fortress Gen
Wool telegrzphed this fact to Gen
Mansfield at Newport News. and th'
morning was spent IN preparations
which prevented simultaneous land at
tack BY Gen Magruder- The Merrimai
appeared about noon Col Cannon mis-
states the date On one occasion; Ii

ture and destruction Of the Congress

in the Merrimac by one Of the Monitors
shots and the wOunding Of the command
er Of the latter, Lieut. Worden, by ee-
ment flying in his eyes The Merrimac
gave up the game and retired" says
the count. leaving the Monitor on the
battlefield.
Col. Cannon tells more probable and
intelligent story. which goes far to har-
mOnize the authorities. He says that
after the wOunding of Lieut.. WOrden,
the Monitor retired and remained out
Of action for about half an hour" which
doubtless gave rise to Greeley's idea.
As soon aS the injuries to the pilOt-house,
by which her commander had been
wounded. were examined. she .'re-en-
gagged. forced the fight by lying athwart
the stern Of the Merrimac, delivering
her FIRE rapidly and with telling effect.
The Merrimae unable to shake her of
or to stand the pounding, commenced
the retreat to Norfolk" The Monitor
stuck to her like king-bird to a
hawk. as was said by participant.
and pursued her until she was brought
under the FIRE of the rebel batteries"
The count Of Paris makes one state
ment which we do not find elsewhere.
He says that Buchanan. the brave CON-
mander of the Merrimac, who was kill
ed the first day, and whose place could
not be filed. owed his death to the fire
of the infantry. ranged on the beach at
Newport News, when the Merimae got
pretty close to the shore, in her efforts
to destroy the Congress. which had been
run aground there. A rife bullet could
enter where eannon-ball was arrested.

THE CHARM OF RESERVE.

Do not be too anxious to give away
yourself. to wear your heart upon your
sleeve. 1t is not only unwlse, it is wrong
to make your secret soul common prop
erty. For you bring the delicate things
of the heart into contempt by exposing
them to those who cannot understand
them. If you throw pearls before swine,
they will turn again and rend you. Nor,
again, should you claim too much open
ness, as duty to you, from your child.
your friend, your wife, or your husband.
Much Of the charm of life is ruined by
exacting demands of confidence. Respect
the natural modesty of the soul, its more
delicate flowers of feeling close their
petals if touched too rudely. Wait with
curious love-with eager interest-for
the time when, all being harmonious,
the revelation will come Of its own ac-
cord. undemanded. The expectation has
its charm, for as long as life has some
thing to learn, life is interesting; as
long as friend has something to give,
friendship is delightful. Those who wish
to destroy all mystery IN those they
love, to have everything revealed. are
unconsciOusly killing their own happi-
ness. 1t is much to be with those who
have many things to say to US which we
cannot bear now. Ii is much TO live
with those who sometimes speak to us
IN parables-if we love them. Love
needs some indefniteness in order TO
keep its charm. Respect. which saves
love from the familiarity which degrades
it, is kept vivid when We feel that there
is mystery in those we love which
comes Of depth Of character. Remember,
that in violating your own reserve. or
that Of another, you destroy that sensi-
tiveness Of character which makes 50
much of the beauty of character and
beauty Of character is not so common as
not to make il cruel thing to spoil it.

Whoever thinks lit doesn't matter

well to note the fact brought to light by
Mr. James T. Fields upon a recent visit

Of death for murder, confessed 70 having
been great reader Of blood-and-thun-

novels, all about scalping and other
bloody performances, and he had no

thoughts into bis mind which led TO his
murderous acts. Ifa good and attractive
literature had been put in Pomeroy's
