A True Story for Boys.

Many Years ago gentleman from the
town of Methuen. Mass. while on Il
visit to il prominent merchant in Bos-
ton, WAS asked 10y the merchant if he
knew il boy in Methucn that he could
recommend to work in his store.
At first the gentleman could think OF
no one, for he knew none but faithful.
honest boy would suit the thrifty mcr-
chant. At length, however, he called
To mind Il boy of excellent character in
his neighhoIhood, bnt feared he would
hardly do, as his parents were very
poor, and he had no education or other
advantages to fit him for such Il posi-
ti"n. But the description of the hoy :
habits pleased the merchant 50 much
that he handed the gentleman Il dollar
with which to pay the boys fare to
Boston by stage, and requested him to
send the lad to the city, and if on Il
personal interview all should not prove
satisfactory he would pay his fare back
home again.
The gentleman, as requested. visited
the boys parents and stating the mel :
chants proposal. advised them to send
the boy for trial. He then gave him
the dollar which was sent to pa! his
fare t" Boston, and departed.
Under similar circumstances ninety
nlne out of every hundred boys would
have said. ''Now for good time. |
never saw city, and never rode i'll the
stage. Oh, there will he so much to
see. and it will he such lcng ride, and
here Is money sent TO pay my fare.

Getting a Pastor Out.

In II rural Presbyterian congregation
i'll the western section of Canada. the
people. for various reasons, were de>ir-
Gus of Il change in the paStoratc. \
meeting was called to consider how the
desired change could he effected. All
We're agreed that though the pastor waS
Il learned, lahoriouS. amiable and excel
lent man, he WAS exceedingly proSy and
unlntclcstlng as Il preacher. 1t was re-
solved. therefore. that Il dcputation
should he sent respectfully to ask him To
dcmit his charge. No one WAS ready to
undertake the difficult and delicate task
At last two elders were induced to 90
and talk with the minister about the
matter. They went on their mission
with II" little trrpidatiou. but were
greatly relieved hy the cordial manner
i'll which the good minister received
them. He listened quietly To their hes
itatimgll told story. and at once ac-
qulrSccd ia their desire that he would
resign. Elatcd with their success. they
ha>tcHcd to report the result to the
people. All were greatly gratiticd at
tlI" prospect ot such an anicable an
r'ingcmcmt and feeling some sense of
gratitude to the minister for his many
years of service. and especially tor his
ready compliance with their wishes.
they determined to present him with an
address and purse. y public meeting
OF the congregation WIS held. at which
the pastor was invited To he present. an
address WAS read To him. containing
strong expressions OF appreciation and
gratitude Tor his manifold lahors. and
and the purse was handed to him a>
Il token of their continued esteem.
On rising to reply, the pastor was
deeply moved. and spoke with faltcr-
Ing voice. He stated that. Influenced
kN the statements of the elders who had
called upon him. he had resolved at
much expense of feeling to himself. to
resign his change. Pau>ing for Il min

The Real Issue.

THE PARDON OF JEFF. DAVIS VERY LIT
TIE TO Do WITH IT.
The following extract from an edito-
rial in the Albany Evening Jou,nai puts
the position of Gen. Hill and the men
who sympathiSe with him, in the true
light:
1t is. therefore. not the proposition
of amnesty, but the disposition of tn,
Democratic Confederate leaders which
has aroused the country. The speech
of Mr.. Hill has opened its eyes. 1t sees
this man, fresh from the councils of the
rebellion. rise in its own Congress and
aIH,ign the Government of Abraham
Lincoln for its conduct of the war. II
secs him defend and sustain the action
of jefferson Davis. 1t sees him eNcuS-
inc and apologizing for the horrors oi
AndersonVille. 1t sees him putting
forth the monstroIs falsehood that the
atrocities of that terrible prison pen
were fully matched by the crucltieS ol
the Union prisons. The man who thus
vilities the honor and outragcS the name
of the nation in its own Legislative halls
is the same individual who, as Il mem

oncr of war before Il drumhead court

THE STORY OF \ FIGHT MOST FOLKS
HAVE FORGOTTEN About.
From the New Orleans Picayune.
The elh OF JANUARY is the anniversary
OF an event ever memorable in the his
tory oi the American Union. and rs-
pcciallN IN that of Louisiana. There
are those alive in New Orleans who re
member what anxiety filled ali hearts
i'll the city just I'll Years ago, while the
roal of the battle might he distinctly
heard here from the field of Chamettc.
1t has been told 81 often. il is. perhaps.
unnecessary to repeat now the we'll
knowm story of that famous day. The
operations of the enemy against the
city were begun, December II, 1871.
when Gen. kcanc landed with the van
guard of the British troops ut point
nine miles below the city. A week
later. Gen. jackson. with an inferior
force. attacked him and gained 50 de
cided an advantage that all further ag-
greSSivr movements were delayed until
| the 9Th of the month following. though
Gen. Jackson again attacked the foe ON
the first day of the year lslj, again
with success. On january 9th, the
enemy WAS reinforced, and their entire
army then amounted to ll.WO effective
and well equipped men. The British
authorities estimate their force at 5000.
and place Gen. Jackson's as high as
25.OOO.
The American commanders line of
defense on the left bank was Il mile
long. defended hy II guns and 300 men.
with 500 more conveniently posted near
by. II was Il very strong position
against II foe attacking directly in front
but it would have been difficult. if not
impossible, to hold it against an artil-
lery fire from the right bank. Gen.
Jackson had provided against that
emergency 10y posting there several
batteries, manned by Seamen and sup
ported 10y Kentucky militia. That WAS
in reality the key of the position, aud
the British eventually carried it, but
not until after the defeat of Pakcnham
"m the left bank. !. The signal defeat of
the enemy WAS entirely due to the pre-
cipitancy of their commander in order
ing the attack. Accustomed to carry
the most difficult positions in the
Peninsular war and in France by direct
assault, the veteran British troops
moved steadily on the American works
with the greatest coolneSS and courage
but our little army of back woOdSmeu
received them with ii tiIe concentrated,
accurate and deadly beyond parallel.

VOLUME 39---NUMBER 2OO9.

Gen. Pakeuham was killed. Gen. Gibbs
mortally, and Gen. keanc severely
wounded. The rank and file fell by
scores and hundreds at every NolIey.
So great was the security of the Amer
lean fmceS that they only lost seven
men killed and six wounded. while the
British lost 2OOO. killed, wounded md
prisoners. The treaty of Ghrnt had
been concluded two weeks prior to the
battle, but il has been thought that had
the city fallen into the hands of the
enemy they would have insisted upon
retaining it upon the ground that the
treaty 10y which Louisiana was ccdcd
to us in lSO3 WAS void. france having
no proper claim to the territory which
she sold. However that may he. it is
certain that the days fighting saved
New Orleans from Spolatinn of Il FOREIGN
foe, and its anniversary is one which all
Americans, without regard to THEN
present political affiliations. may unite
IN celebrating with patriotic pride.
