cumstance alone can his miraculous es-
cape be attributed.

He was looking for the party he had
sent out in search of the wounded, and
realized that they had been cut off by
the foe. Turning his horse, he rode
slowly back to the landing so as not to
excite the attention of his uncomfortable
neighbors, who were pouring a CALLING
IRE into the transports. The steamers
suffered SO much from this destructive
hail of bullets, that they had cast off
their fasts and pushed away from the
bank, leaving the General behind in the
very midst of the foe. Seeing how the
thing was going, Grant put spurs to his
horse, forcing the steed on his launches
down the hank inst as one of the steam
ers was swinging off from the shore. A
plank was thrown out for him, up which
trotted his horse, in the midst of
storm of rebel bullets.
The field being clear of National
troops, the gunboats opened fierce fire
upon the rebel ranks, now within fifty
or sixty yards Of the shore, moving
them down with grape and canister in
the most fearful slaughter. The fire of
the rebels was fortunately too high to
inffict any serious injury on the troops
in the transports, and by five in the
afternoon they were out of range.
The next day Grant met, under flag
of truce, an old classmate from West
Point, then serving on General Polk's
staff. He related his personal experience
at Belmont, stating that he had encoun-
tered the rebel line when alone. The
rebel officer expressed his surprise.

MY MOTHERS PRAYER.
BY REV. z. s. STANLEY.

That sainted mother now above,
owe her much for her pure love,
In patient teaching, thousand cares,-
But o, how much for secret prayers
l see myself in childhood glee.
The Bible on my mothers knee ?
The room where once stood waiting chairs
Por me and mother in her prayers.
The rod which chastened childish ways
Was wisely used, deserving pralse
She taught mo why such painful fares,
Then sanctihed them with her prayers.
She led me to the house OF God
Her weary feet had often trod
learned OF dangers, of Gods cares
The reasons for my mothers prayers"
When leaving home, how oft she said,
With holy hands upon my head,
Though sin has many thousand snares,
Troy, ana remember mOtner prayers"
The memories of hor careful way
And sweet caresses live to-day;
Her love-strokes on my silken hairs,
Dutt aOONo all my mOIneIb pfdyeTs.
God has regarded all her tears,
Her hopeful trusts and many fears?
And every day my soul now shares
The profit Of my mothers prayers"
Through darkness, hardship, trying days,
Remembering all her pleasant ways.
1t lifts me up on buoyant airs
To think Of all "my mothers prayers"
Some leave their children riches great,
Their worldly honors for estate;
But this the greater glory wears,
The legacy Of mothers prayers"
That mother left me long ago;
And yet her loss scarcely know;
There seems an angel in my cares,
That angel is "my mothers prayers"
o, mother, could l speak to thee,
I'd praise thee for thy prayers for me,
And kiss thy lips for holy cares
That sent to heaven "my mothers prayers
When heaven breaks upon my sight.
And we shall meet where all is bright,
/ then shall know the end of cares,
The worth of all "my mothers prayers"

Ethan Allen, whose misfortune it was
to nave termagant wife. had, and de-
served. a reputation for courage of the
leonine kind. Some wags thought to
frighten him once but they mistook
their man. One of them, arrayed in a
sheet. stepped in front of him in the road
late one dark night when he was on his
way homeward. Ethan stopped, looked
at the spectre. and without moments
hesitation, exclaimed: 'lf you come
from Heaven, l don't fear you. If you
are the devil, come home and spend the
night with mel married your sister"
His neighbors never sought to test his
courage after that.

Where nice distinctions and injustices
Are calmly weighed. But ah. how will it be
On that strange day of final fire and fame
When men shall wither with mystic fear.
And all shall stand before the one true Judge?
Shall sex make then a difference in sin?
Shall He. the Searcher ofthe hidden heart,
In his eternal and divine decree,
Condemn the woman and forgive the man?

HOW THE KING OF THE UTES
LIVES.

Considerable interest has of late been
aroused in the Ute Indians in Colorado,
and a few facts about their head Chief,
Ouray, who is an exceptional Indian,
and his manner of life will be interest
ing. Ouray has had built for him at
his place, about ten miles from Los
Plnos agency, on the Uncompahgre river,
by the government, an adobe house,
thirty by forty, furnished in good style,
with American furniture and carpets.
He has farm of 800 acres enclosed.
and over sixty under cultivation, in hay,
vegetables and grain. The work is done
by Indians and Mexican retainers. His
wife takes an active interest in the farm
EQRk and aqsa her hae gafe Of the 4Jp Jpuab75aseg
and mules, some of them being very fine
animals; in addition to the horse stock
he has some cattle and several bands of
sheep and goats. His buildings are
quite extensive. consisting of a large
store-house, four dwellings, stables,
corrals, granaries, etc. He has a fine
family carriage, one of the best that
could be purchased, present from Gov.
Ed. MeCook, which. with stylish team
and Mexican driver, makes conspicu-
GUS turnout. The farm operations and
business enterprises of Ouray have been
very successful, and prove him to be a
shrewd, competent business man. 1t is
the opinion of all who know anything
about him, that he desires to adopt en-
tirely the habits and life of the whites,
and cut loose from Indian customs. but
the innate lover ofpower and prominence
makes him cling to his leadership or
chieftainship with tenacious grasp.
During the council it was observed by
Gen. Hatch that Ouray was born lead
er. and exhibited diplomatic talents of a
high order in managing his unruly sub
jects and dealing with every point and
question by the Commission. His age
is about forty-fve, and he has but one
wife and child.-Erchange.
