A War "Reminiscences.

An interesting meeting between Col.
onel X. w. Baylor, an eX-Confederate
officer, and General Is. +. Kelley, of the
Federal army, was recently held at the
home of the former gentleman in West
Virginia. Colonel Baylor was captured
during the war by General Kelley's
troops, and was tried by order Of Sec.
rotary Stanton for an alleged violation
of the rules Of war and sentenced to be
hanged. In looking over the papers
relating TO the case, which were brought
to him for approval, General Kelley be-
came convinced that the facts did not
justify the action Of the court-martial
Therefore he disapproved Of the finding
of the court and sent the papers to the
Secretary of War. The Secretary was
not pleased with the action of the Cen
eral and referred the papers to another
officer, who agreed with General Kelley.
This did not satisfy the Secretary, and
he referred the document to Judge Ad.
vocate General Holt, who said there
were informalities in tho trial. and the
Secretary ordered another court-martial,
which was had, and similar verdict
and sentence was the result. General
Kelley again disapprovcd the finding, the
Secretary Of War again referred the pa
pers TO other officers, who this time a.
greed with General Kelley, and the
sentence was annulled. Some time af-
terward President Lincoln heard Of the
case, and sent n dispatch to General
Kelley thanking him for his action in
the matter, and saying that he was glad
TO know that an officer of his army had
the courage to do right in spite of the
opposition Of court martial and his SUI
perior officers. BY the chances Of war,
General Kelley was afterward captured
by the Confederates, and, although in
no such perilous position as was Colon
el Baylor, he received every kindness
and attention that it was in the power
of that officer to give. They have not
seen each other since the war. until
General Kelley and his wife accepted
an invitation from Colonel Baylor to
visit him in his West Virginia home.-

Strange Conduct Of Bees.

On Friday Of last week. says the Boon.
ton. NJ j. Bu'letin. DIR. Webb sent his
man with team to Franklinville for a
load Of mari. The horses were fine
pair of animals, valued at about $500.
On the return, when near the dam, they
had to pass place. the owner Of which
had six or seven hives Of bees. The
day was very hot, and the horses sweat.
ing profusely. and it is supposed the
odor OF the animals offended the bees,
for they came out in force and attacked
them. The horses began to kick and
rear, and all the efforts OF the driver fail
cd to get them from the spot. He then
tried to unhitch them, but the bees came
so thick and fast, that he was forced to
abandon them, and he ran to Nutes'
store, at Frarklinville, for help At the
store, they covered the drivers head
with four thicknesses Of mosquito net
ting, and drew long gloves over his
hands, when he returned TO the team
and finally succeeded in getting the
horses loose and away. He had to scrape
the bees from the animals with his hands.
They were so fearfully stung, that, not.
withstanding resort to every possible
remedy, one died in about two hours,
and the other the next morning.
A curious feature in the affair is, that
on Saturday afternoon the bees were
still so cnraged that they attacked the
house. When night fell, however, by a
resort to sulphur, they were expelled.
On Sunday, the bees, with one accord,
left their hives and again attacked the
house, and the family were fairly driven
out. and had to go TO neighbours for
shelter.

At an early hour they were on their

to be proud of Matte. Now, Charley"
continued his sister "just stop at War.
ner's on the way home anl bry "a basket
OF those nice oranges; then call at Os.
goods and get the latest magazine
Take them as present to Matte, and
see how she will receive them"
Mrs. Lyman went directly home, and
finding Mrs. Graham still Dusily sewing,
gave her goodnight kiss and went i'm.
mediately to her room. Mr.. Graham
came in soon afterward, and placing
the oranges, with the book, in his wife
lap, said, Here, Matte, is a present |
got on purpose for you-lay aside your
sewing, and enjoy these good things"
Mrs. Graham gave her husband one
quick, surprised look, and as she had
done once before that evening, burst
into tears.
"Why. Matte" said Mr.. Graham,
have been so neglectful of you that
little act of kindness like this affects
you tllus?"
80, Charley!" said she. as soon as
she could command her voice sufficient.
~ to reply, Il thought you had ceased
TO love me, and was just grieving myself
to death over it,
"No Matte, had grown careless Of
my VOW TO love, honor and cherish :
out God helping me, promise anew to
love and cherish you tendcrly till death
do US part"
1t was all that was needed to make
Matte the cheerful. loving Matte of old.
Mrs. Lyman was awakened the next
morning by Charley's clear, ringing
voice, rs he sang the words OF most
beautiful Scotch song.
"Ah," said she, with smile, at didn't

Matte went moping about the house,"

not bitter against them"

~ Persons, said Mr.. Sturgeon, are
sometimes deferred by an idea that they
are not fit to 60 to Christ. The fittest way
TO go TO Christ is TO go just as they are.
The best livery in which TO go begging
is rags. Several years ago, when ! was
in the extremeness of my greenness, !
gave beggar n pair OF patent leather
shoes. The man pat them on, and ex.
pressed great gratitude but / met tho
man afterwards, and was not at all sur.
prised to find that he had pulled them
off again. They were not the style Of
things TO 60 begging in. The man would
do deal better barefoot. So when men
want mercy, the proper way is TO 60 in
their misery, and emptiness, and wretch.
edness. There is noueht TO be done.
there is nought TO be felt, and there is
no recommendation needed, and no pre-.
paration wanted. Let them come as
they are, and trust Christ. and they will
be saved. Gods honor and Christie
word arc pledged TO that result.
