Aueedote Of Colonel Miles.

This timely story was told mt II recent
military reunion in Boston: In the
early part of the rebellion one of our
members, on his way to the nightly
drill ut Bolyston Hall, was ~accosted on
Washington street 10y 4 Young nan
and asked where he was going. Tom
Huddleston replied that he belonged to
the Tigers, and was going to drill for
an hour oil two. The two walked along
the street, and the young friend said he
thought it would be a pretty good idea
for. him to belong to just such n COM
pany, but, - he added, Il don't sup
pose / can get in" Tom, like II good
fellow, said: Come right along with
me, and I'll put you through" and he
had that young chaps name on our roll
and II musket in his hand in twenty
minutes. For n week the new recruit
was constant day and night, but M
night he was missing. ] said to Tom.
SYour man is sick of it, mot II bit
Of it," replied Tom, ''he likes it, and
he is smart enough to be IN officer"
a week oil two after lie disappeared
from drills Tom met him on the street.
He had enlisted for three years or the
war. and his uniform confirmed the
statement. From the Sth of September,
1861, when that young man was APP

was rapid and merited. And his name
was Nelson A. Miles, the successful In

THE return ola Dundee whaler from
Davis Straits with a good cargo of oil

that no fresh effort is in progress from
that country to penetrate to the North
Pole. 1t is reported that the straits are
full of floating ice, and the inference is
THAT the Palaocrystic Sea has broken
up. OF course people are saying that if
CaptaiuaNare had been careful to pre-
vent his, expedition from contracting
scurvy the ships might have remained
another season in high ATTITUDES. and
this year would have had the chance of
penetrating to n more northerly point,
perhaps of solving the mystery Of the

Captain Mares returned the general ten

MOVES LITTLE SPEECH.
What Louisiana Carpet-Bagger Re.
members.

Scene, Washington hotel.-He was
from Louisiana, and if Hayes policy
continues he is likely to be from Lou
isiana for some time. His clothes were
out of the school board fund, and he
had mile or two of broken down
levees ia his shirt studs, and little
matter Ia State bonds on his little fin
ger. So he went on: Il shouldn't
mind SO much about all this if didn' t
remember Noyes speech. You know
Noyes was visiting statesman. Then
we counted them In, and now they are
counting US out and one night we
were all Observation-Disclosures, and Gar
field, and Noyes, and Kellogg, and
Packard, and all the rest that were
interested in-in-Hayes. There was
some bad news from Florida that
night looked as if all our work would
go for nothing, and we too. as We have;
and they put Noyes up to make a
speech seems like he talked easy
sort of had speech on tap. And he
said-well, what do you think he did
say ?-that it was hard to meet defeat
at the North, and to lose Hayes, and
give the Government to its enemies ;
but what really made their hearts bleed
was leavin' US, and abandoning the 10y
al white and the thrice loyal black man
to the tender mercies of the rebel and
the foul cruelty of the bulldozer.
Well, sir, he most Cried and we've
most cried, and you wouldn't believe
it. He met me and crowd of US the
other day, and he called US damned
carpet baggers. He did, indeed; aud
said we ought to leave for the good of
the party. just wish he would be a
visiting statesman again, that's all. +"

THE CHINA MISSION.
The Fourth of May Set Apart as q
Day Of Fasting and Prayer
by MethOdists.

Bishop Mar Yin has sent the follow
ing to Rev. 7. o. Summers, d. D., and
proofs of it have been forwarded to all
the Methodist papers for publication
and the theological students at the
Vanderbilt University have been spec
tally requested to observe its provis-
ions:
What felt most deeply on my part
ing with the native helpers in China
was the solemn request they made that
| should call on the people of God in
America to pray for the outpouring Of
the Holy Ghostupon the infant church
in China. | can never forget the tone
of the request. Surely it was the spirit
of God that inspired it.
No wonder these men feel their
helplessness. They are but handful
in the midst of millions. They are as
sheep in the midst of wolves. Hence.
forth they are in my heart for life and
for death. | can never cease to call
upon God in their behalf.
am moved to call upon the church
at home to give one day to fasting and
prayer for this one thing-that the
Holy Spirit may fall upon the mission
aries and native preachers in China.
For this purpose [ name Friday, May
4, 1877.
VIII their preachers appoint prayer
meetings in their charges on that day
for this especial object? Will all the
people come together fasting? IF the
preachers neglect it, will the private
members come together of their own
accord? If the men fail will not all
the women of the Church unite in fast
ing, and join in groups, if practicable,
or at least in their own houses, in call
ing upon God for the salvation of

Don't Worry About Yourself.

To regain or recover health persons
should be relieved from anxiety con-
corning diseases. The mind has power
over the body. For a person to think
he has a disease will often produce
that disease. This we see effected
when the mind is intensely cOncentra-
ted upon the diseases of another. 1t
is found that in the hospitals that
physicians and surgeons who make a
speciality of certain disease are liable
to die of it themselves and the men
tai power is so great that sometimes
people die of diseases which they only
have in Imagination. We have seen
persons sea-sick in anticipation OF
voyage before reaching the vessel. We
have known a person to die of a can
Ger in the stomach when he had 10
cancer, nor any other disease. A man,
blindfolded and slightly pricked in the
arm, has tainted and died from 'bellev-
ing that he was bleeding to death.
Therefore, persons in health, and de,
string to continue so, should at all
times be cheerful and happy, and those
who are sick should have their atten-
ton drawn as much as possible from
themselves. 1t is by their faith men
are saved, and also by their faith that
they die. If man wills not to die he
can live in spite Of disease; and if he
has little or no attachment to life, he
will slip away as easily as child falls
asleep. Men live by their souls and by
their bodies. Their bodies have 70
life of themselves; they are only re-
sources of life-tenements of their
souls. The will has much to do in
continuing the physical occupancy or
giving it up.-Journal Of Health.

ThieviSh Beavers.

York County beavers are sagacious
animals. A man from Nackawick
hunting beaver. recently came upon a
lagoon which showed marks Of having
been lately damned up by these indus
triOus creatures. Leaving his axe near
q beaver house, the trapper proceeded
to explore the region round about, but
on returning in about an hour no axe
was to be found. This mysterious dis
appearance puzzled him, but his atom
ishment turned into positive alarm
when going to the foot of large juui-
per tree, no traces could be seen of his
camp kettle and provisions. Faint
from hunger and fatigue, he found his
way to the edge of the pond, where a
small black object glided over the sur
face OF the water attracted his atten-
ton. Closer inspection revealed huge
beaver swimming off with the camp
kettle in his mouth. The disguised
trapper slowly left the fated spot, mi
nus axe, kettle and good dinner, car
ried off by the beavers. Whether the
beavers sunk the axe in the middle of
the pond or conveyed it to place of
safety is, of course, unknown; but
from the method of their operations
he firmly believed that they made sure
of the axe first, knowing that it was
the instrument with which he design
ed destroying their homes. The ket-
tie, which seemed the more harmless
aud inotfensive weapon, they left till
the last.-&. john IN b Telegraph,

The One Safe Friend.

There is one friend for every maiden.
1t is her mother. Whom should you
trust, in whom place confidence if not
in her? No ore else loves you so I'M
sel6shly, and no one has loved you so
long. It'll pity when girls are not
confidential with their mother. There
are times when every woman needs an
old woman to guide and help her, and
her mother is at these times her natu-
raj councillor and guardian. If she
has no mother let her pour her trouble
and unfold her perplexities to
some motherly woman, aunt, sister,
friend, in whom she can believe.
Many heartache would be soothed,
many a Vezatiou rolled away, and
many a modification saved, if girls
would remember that they have not
the wisdom of Solomon nor the digni-
ty of Deborah as yet on their unwrink-
led brows. Situations which battle
them would be plain to more expert
enced eyes and they would be guided
over hard places.-M. f. SoRgster.

The Newspaper.

The newspaper as journal of news
has not only become the great educator
of Independent opinion, but it per.
forms a scarcely inferior function in
quickeniDg the sensibilities of man
kind, and in broadening and liberaliz-
ing the whole tone of human feeling
as we'll as of human thought. The
naTrowness aud prOyincialism of sym
pathy and sentiment give gay TO q cos
mopolitan spirit-to the habitual con-
sciOusness of worldwide relationship
and interests-when a man receives
daily communications from his fellows
all over the world, and is touched with
no matter how momentary an effect by
the trials or triumphs, the joys or
griefs, the pleasures or pains Of his
neighbors far and near, around the
globe.
The remotest item of news, the most
trivial incident of life, reported from
strange people and strange lands, is a
message of human brotherhood-an
appeal from heart to heart-and con-
sciously or not the generous sensibili-
ties In human nature are warmed and
brOadened by an increasing influence
even from the paragraphs and jottings
that we skim with the eyes in the news
papers. The newspaper is, in truth,
the most powerful agent of all that are
acting in what we call the civilization
of mankind, but it is so more strictly
as a compendium of current events and
less as an organ of opinions, and as a
dissemination Of ideas, than most PEG
pie appear to understand.

perhaps more since the danger to eyes

Give Your Child a Newspaper.

An exchange very appropriately says
that a child beginning to read becomes
delighted with newspaper, because it
reads of names and things which are
familiar, and will progress accordingly.
A newspaper in one year is worth q
quarters schooling to a child. Every
father must consider that information
is connected with advancement. The
mother of family being one of its
heads and having more immediate
charge of children, should herself be
instructed. A mind occupied becomes
fortified against the ills of life, and is
braced for any emergency. Children
amused by reading or study, are, of
course, more oonsiderate and more
easily governed.

To Be Loved.

There is nothing so sweet as to be
loved, except loving. By love we
mean, of course the true pure love
which is not thing Of the senses but
OF the soul-love that is the outgrowth
Of goodness. What will not one do to
win or keep such tenderness? What
will not one risk. or dare or forsake
for it? Is any journey long that has
love kiss at the end of it-any duty
hard that dement's the bonds between
two hearts? To be truly loved is the
great reward life has to offer. And any
one who has a heart and dosen't mind
showing it, who can put aside selfish
ness and be true to others, can win
love. To have people temporarily in
love with you needs only beatty. To
be beloved, one must have truth, ten
derness, consistency, responsiveness.

Miss Cora DICKSON, young girl
y years of age, arrived in Paris the
other day from South America Her
life has thus far been a checkered one.
At the age of Is, tired of the monotony
of home, she ran away from her faith
er's house with a large sum of money.
She cut her hair short and douned a
boys garb. After becoming, in sue
cession, a cabin boy, a clerk, and a
horse dealer, she turned up in Buenos
Ayres, where she entered the army,
still disguised. She distinguished her
self in the service and became a colo
mel. Some months ago, at a meeting
of officers, she quarreled with one of
those present. A duel followed, and
she killed her adversary. On exam
lining the dead mans papers, she found
that she had killed her oldest brother,
who had left home when she was two
years of age. Horror stricken, she
threw herself at the bishops feet, who
promised to intercede with her father.

being the beau-ideal of a statesman :;
but there is one thing that at least can
be said for him. He stands before the

account that does not need investiga-
ton, which is much more than can be
said of Mr.. James G. Blaine. Taking
him all in all, Mr.. Blaine is just about
the worst man in the Republican par
