OUR BRAVE BOYS

A lady correspondent of the st.
Louis Republican, writing from War
rensburg, among other matters,
speaks thus for our brave company of
schooi-boys, commanded by ID. H.
Mcintyre, who fought in the Spring.
field battle, August 10th, 1861: ::
"Never will we forget that brave COM
pany of school-boys from Galloway
county, with their shot-guns and pis-
tolls, some of them barefooted and
bareheaded, and us fair and tender
as young girls, that fought so gallant
ly at the battle of Springfield, under
their dear old Pap Price. We have
heard old men tell the story with
tears in their eyes, how the noble fel-
lows stools their ground for eight
hours without fiinching, while their
comrades fell in glory around them.
Nearly all Of that little band were
killed in that battle. Young as they
were, they yelled defiance at Northern
oligareliy, and gave up their lives in
the name of Southern rights and liber-
ty. The school body's heart swells
high with excitement when he hears
his teacher tell of that heroic drama
at the pas, of Thermopyla. But.
does he ever hear or ever read about
those brave. chivalrous Galloway
boys? ALI the great deeds of eour-
age and herolsm of the South is con-
siderately left out of the United
States history, which. since the war,
has become the pet textbook in the

BOB INGERSOLL ON WEDLOCK
GOOD ADVICE TO MARRIED MEN.

Referring to women, Col. Inger-
soil advised men to 90 to their homes
of an evening. 1t seemed to him
nowadays people gave up courting
when they got married. The best
way was to keep counting right straight
ahead. Take just as much pains to
look clean and manly, and be full of
love. Think how you used to talk,
and how full of life you were when
you went to see her; now you go
home moping, and you wonder why
it is your wife is not in raptlres. 1t
applies to both sexes. 1t is not nee
essary to be n king to be happy, pro-
videa you are the king of one heart.
He believed in giving the woman all
the rights he claimed for himself. He
wanted to see more happy homes,
more kindness, more real affection in
the homes of this world. There is
no happiness in this world, unless
with the woman you love. The leo
lures pronounced marriage as the
grandest and highest institution
among men, and that no man was a
man who would not live up 20 the
marriage contract. He said that SO
that when he left the SANDER might
not be uttered that he was in favor of
free love.
The man who will say it, and who
does say it, Is simply infamous: and
vet YOU do it, and do it in the name
of religion. On the rearing of chill
dren the lecturer enunciated the
views that they should be dealt with
tenderly, never brow-beaten nor whip
ped for faults, but caressed and guild
ed into habits of obedience in all that
is essential to their welfare, and al
lowed fair amount of latitude to de-
velop individuality and independence
of nature.
