The OOlOnel's Coffee Mil.

Yesterday old Joe Hemlock, one of the
blacklist cOlored men in Detroit, was pro.
menading through the editorial rooms Of
the Free Press, in search Of money enough
to buy pair Of boots, and the sight Of him
revived an old recollection. In 1861, af.
ter the retreat from Bull Run, the Third
Michigan Infantry went into camp at Hun
ter's Place, and Joe, then middle aged
darkcy, came into camp as a runaway.
Col Mcconnell seized upon him for cook,
and after instructions Joe was given charge
of the Colonefs kitchen. His first meal
was dinner, and about time for it to appear
be walked in on the colonel, made a very
low bow and said:
"Keruel, lie not quite up to dc situation
jist yit. You tole me to bake beans, didn I
you?
II did,
"Werry we'll, sab; de beans am baked.
You told me to fry ham, didn't your"
II did"
"Werry we'll, sab; de ham am fried.
Now, did you say war to bile de coffee in
de kernal, or, to-
"No-no--who ever heard Of making
coffee that way2"
"Well, OATS what l fought; bat kernel,
il am an awful slow job for one niger 10
crack all that coffee tween his teef, and
dinners goin' to be half an hour late,
suah's yoer bo'nl''

The Destiny Of Man.
Translated from the German Of FIGHT.
By C. T. W.

We behold around us relation 10
which no one can labor for himself vita.
out laboring for oil others, or for others,
without at the same time, laboring for
himself, because the good fortune Of one
member is the good fortune Of all; spec
tacle, which, even through the harmony
that we behold in the greatest possible va
riety OF objects, excites the most intense
pleasure and stirs the soul nightly. The
interest increases if we look upon ourselves
as members of this intimate relationship,
and of this great union. The feeling Of
our dignity and power is enhanced If we
can say what each one among US can say
of himself:-"My existence is not in vain
and without design; am an indispensable
link in the great chain, which extends
from the development Of the first human
creature to the full consciousness Of his
existence, even into eternity. All that
was ever great, and wise, and noble among
men, those benefaetors whose names find
recorded in the worlds history, and that
larger number whose merits exist without
their names all these have labored for me;

blessings surround my footsteps. | can.

A North Carolina Marriage.

Soon after the close Of the last war
Captain X was appointed Justice Of the
Peace in a country place not far from
Raleigh, North Carolina. His father had
been a planter 10 a rather small way, aud
his son, the captain, had acquired consid-
cradle experience in the business of man.
aging real estate, drawing up deeds, ETC.,
during the fathers lifetime, and then in
settling the estate after his decease.
Further than this he had no legal knowl-
edge, aud indeed, his entire stock Of shook
learning" was small aud poorly selected,
but any lack in general information was
fully made up, for his uses, by selfasser-
ton. Late one afternoon, as he was riding
home from Raleigh, he meta young woman
and two men, who hailed him and inquir-
ed il he was Captain X. The young woman
and one Of the men wished to be married
at once. The other had come as a wit
ness. They had procured the necessary
license, but an irate father was on their
path, and swore that they should never be
married. 1t was considered on all accounts
safest to have the ceremony performed
without delay, and try paei6eation after
ward
Now the captain had never witnessed
marriage, aud naturally had no very
clear idea Of what was usual in such cases.
He remembered having seen book about
the house years before with form for
marriage 10 it, but what the book was aud
where it was he could not remember.
"Why,' said he, when he told the story
afterwards" | knew the Postles Creed
and Commandments, and at first thought
Id use EN- to begin on, but then reckon.
ed, on the whole, they was too burned
solemn"
He asked the couple to come TO his
house, secretly hoping that he could find
the book; but they declined, for the reason
that the matter admitted of 90 delay.
A less assured man would have been
sorely perplexed, but not he He lost no
time in removing his hat, and remarked:

WHAT LIFE HATH.

Life hath il barren years,
When blossoms fall untimely down,
When ripcned fruiiagc fails to crown
The summer toll, when Natures frown
Looks only on our tears
Life hath its faithloss days,
The golden promise OF the morn,
That seemed forlight and gladncS born,
Meant only nOontde wreck and scom.
flushed harp instead ofpraise.
Life hath SIS valleys, too,
Where we must walk with vain regret.
With mourning clothed, with Wild rain wet.
Towards sunlight hopes that soon mus, set,
All quenched in plying dew.
Life hath It's harvest moons,
It's tAsselled corn and purple weighted vine,
Its gathered sheayes OF grain, the blessed sign
oipienteouS, Hpening. bread and pure rich wine
Full hearts for harvest tunes.
Life hath IL hopes fulfilled;
Its glad fruisions, It's blest answered prayer.
sweeier for waiting long, whose holy air.
indrawn to silent souls breathes forth IT'S rare
Grand speech by Joy distilled
Life hath It's Tabor heights
It's lofty mounts OF heavenly recognition,
Whose unveiled glorles fash to earth munitlon
ofioye and truth and clear Intuition,
Hail mount ofall delights.

constipation, pain or heartburn.

England and Wales contain $3.50

State Of Texas contains 2T4,356 square

we consider that large portion Of this

the conclusion that Great Britain produces
more wool than this country does. With
