Still is the form of the soldier lying
In the ragged blood .stain ID gray,
With bandagcd wound OH his brow so fair,
And the clotted blood tang!ing his auburn hair,
And his honor-stained sword from the scdooar'
In the Garth to be hidden away.
Cut down in his youth in the foremost rank,
For his country rfsking his life:
For his country light 'gainst the tYfants wrong
He welded his arm, so Young aud strong,
But he fell in the thickentng strife.
His country wceDs for the fair young dead,
And the cause for which he died:
But his fame shall shine In the Cause story,
Be shrouded in love and ilumined with glory.
Dutce est pro DatrtG 1n0Tti
And we gaze on our nero WIN prlue.
One auburn lock from his placid brow,
We will cherish so foHdly with holy dread
In remembrance Of him-our unknown ueao-
And our tears will shed upon 1t.
Tenderly wrapped in Eirginia's flag
We will lower him into the grave;
There he Will rest Till Gods Judgment day
Folded In honor-the soulhen gray:
Nor shall he know of the fallen sway,
Of the cause he died 10 save.

Dress Warmly at Home

No defence againts draugts is SO perfect
says the London Spectator, as common
silk handkerchief tied over the head, and a
silk vest or one of wash-leather put on be-
tween the shirt and waistcoat will keep the
body more equally warm than good fire.
A wadded coat will enable the chilly man
to set and work anywhere indoors and so
will an extra suit of thin flannel worn DUR
ing the whole of the active day. Just let
any one who doubts what we say try the
very simple expedient, when the chilliness
becomes unbearabl, of putting on his dress
ing gown over his ordinary clothing, and
in five minutes he will be perfectly com.
Portable and ready for any work: while he
will not suffer, as he fancies he will, wher
he goes out of doors. The popular notion
upon that subject is mere delusion. Yor
are not strengthened for out door life by
shivering in doors, but rather weakened
habitual wormth, is not too great, being
one of the best preservatives of contituti
onal strength. A chilly man might al
we'll refuse blankets in bed because the,
would increase his sence of cold when h,
got up, as refuse warm clothing in door
because out of doors he would not be s.
sensible of his coat. The object is not t.
be sensible of pleasant difference, but te
be and remain moderately and heathfull
warm-to be insensible, in fact to ordinar
difference to temperature.

In TROUBLE.

Never in the political history of Perry
county has the New Lexington Ring been
in such distress as now. Defeat in the rear,
and certain defeat staring them in the face
in the next campaign, unless they can dis
pose Of the Elephants they had on their
hands two years ago that could not carry
the strength Of the party. They we'll know
that they have men on hand. for the sec
ond term who have not any possible chance
for their election. The only question is
how to get them out OF the way, and give
the party a chance to put other men on the
ticket who can be elected. The defeat ol
two of the most important candidates, and
the small majority OF the rest of the ticket
! strikes terror into the hearts of the Oldest
of the Ring Bummers. Day by day they
see the cloud gathering that will strike dis
may in their ranks next October and send
Noah 10 his Ark up salt river. The Re

Nothing Short of Unm1stakable Benefits

Conferred upon tens of thousands of suf-
ferers could originate and MAINTAIN the
reputation which Ayers Sarsaparill enjoys.
1t is q compound of the best vegetable al
ternatives, with the Iodides of Potassium and
Iron, and is the most effectual of all reme-
dies for scrofulous, mercurial, or blood dis
orders. Uniformly successful and certain
in its remedial effects, it produces rapid and
complete cures of Scrofula, Sores, Boils,
Humors, Pimpies, Eruptions, Skin Disea-
ses and all disorders arising from impura-
tive of the blood. By its invigorating
effects ii always relieves and often cures
Liver complaint, Female Weaknesses and
Irregularities, and is potent renewer OF
vitality. For purifying the blood it has
no equal. 1t tones up the system, restores
and preserves the health, and imparts Wig
or and energy. For forty years it has been
in extensive use, and is to-day the most
available medicine for the suffering sick
anywhere. For sale by all dealers. 1y.

Answering Literally.

Literal answers are sometimes quite wit
"Will you kindly put my fork in po-
tato?' asked young lady of her table
neIghbor.
"With pleasure" he responded; and
piercing the potato, coolly left the fork ex-
tended from ii.
Again, we hear of very polite and i'm
pressive gentleman who said to youth in
the street:
"Boy, may inquire where Robinson's
drug store is?"
"Certainly. sir" replied the boy, very
respectfully.
"Well, sir" said the gentleman, after
waiting while, "where is it?"
ST have not the least idea, SIR" said the
urchin.
| There was another boy who was stopped
by lady with.
"Boy l wont to go to D-street."
"Well madam said the boy ''why dom
you go there then?"
Sometimes this wit degenerates into pun
ming, as when Flora pointed pensilvely tt
the heavy masses of clouds in the sky, say
ing to her brother:
sT wonder where those clouds are going
dear?"
ri think they are going to thunder" h
replied.
Also the following dialogue:
"Hello, there! how do You cell you
wood?"
"By the cord"
"How long has it been cut?"
-Four feet"
81 mean how long has it been since yo
cut it?"
"No longer than it is now"
And also when Patrick O'Llynn wa
seen with his collar and bosom sadly b.
grimmed, and was Indignantly asked b
his officer, who said:
"Patrick O'Flinn, how long do you ros
a shirt?"
"Twenty eight inches," he replied wit
an air of inimitable droolery.
