A CLERICAL CONTROVERSY.

The following narrative, says the
Little Rock Gazette, was told us COLI
fidentially by slanderer:
A Texas minister rose before q
large audience, took his text and be-
gan preaching. A brisk firing of pis-
tolls began on tho outside Of tho
church.
"Brotllcr Deacon" said the minis
ter, 81 believe these fellows are cast
ing insinuations ut me. In fact, Pm
very nearly convinced" he continued
as piece Of plastering fell from the
wall close to his head.
81 think, parson, that it refers TO
some one else" replied the deacon.
The minister raised tumbler of
water and was in tile act Of applying
it to his lips when the glass fell, shat
tered by shot.
"This is an inuendo no longer"
said the minister, wiping the water
from his vest. "This is what l term
an unmistakable thrust. The con-
gregation will please sing while I
go out and investigate the matter.
Is there another preacher in the
house 2"
eyes, said man, throwing down
a stick which he had been whiting,
arising and pulling at the waist Of his
pants, like a man who had just
Strengthened up after setting out q
row of tobacco plants across broad
field.
"GOd on All extra 2"
ayes"
wUnllmber."
The whiting preacher handed
over a large Remington pistol, which
the insultcd preacher took, and draw
ing one from his belt started out.
After going out there was an ilnme-
date improvement in the firing bust
ness. 1t was decidedly more lifelike,
insomuch that the deacons sat working
their fingers. After awhile the min
lister returned, and placing an ear
and the nostril and a half Of q nose
on the pulpit, remarked:
''He that hath ears to hear, let him
behave himself"
The sermon then proceeded without
further interruption.

pale, frightened face rise above the
enraged water and look up at us an
instant.
OF what happened next all ] can re-
call is that somehow we followed the
master down the jagged side Of tho
cliff, and in six or seven minutes seiz-
ed Little Tins from the swell that
dashed him ashore, gripping the rope
with both hands and looking dead.
Then we hurried with him up to the
fire, and ran about frantically for
wood to feed the blaze and warm his
numb body. remember that when
we had drawn the strong hawser rope
to the land and secured it taught
around tree, the great, burly, cap
tain crept ashore on it, aud fell down
before Little Tins, excitedly saying,
two or three times: "God bless the
boy! God bless him!"
Then he rolled him to and fro on
the ground, rubbing his feetand hands
madIy; finally, throwing off his coat,
he wrapped it around Little Tins
and ran with him in his arms all the
way to school.
You may be sure that we followed
and gathered in that great kitchen
before the open fire, awe-struck and
scarcely daring to breathe, while they
were trying to bring Little Tins to
life. How frightfully white and cold
he looked. 1t seemed rs if lie would
never grow warm again--as though
hours had passed while we were wait
ing. The crew of the vessel all got
ashore and came up to the school, the
doctor rode over from Seabright, and
the vessel on the rocks went down.
At last, however, Little Tins open
ed his eyes.
"You arc feeling better now, my
boy 7" said the doctor, cheerfully.
"The rope-I meant to get the
rope" he said, looking at usas though
he was dreaming.
eyes, yes, you did it bravely," an
swered the big captain. "You have
saved us ALL"
We boys waited to hear no more,
but ran out and rang the old school
bell for joy as it never rang before.
And then we all went to the play
ground and gave three mighty cheers
for Little Observation-Disclosures hero.
And the city papers the next day
What q glorious account they had OF
it! Such Il storm they said had not
been on coast for years. Then de-
scription of the wreck was given, and
an account of our school. Little Tins
name was given in full, and it was ex-
planned that he had leaped from the
highest cliff along the Cumberland
shore and swan out for the rope; that
when it was obtained and drawn over
the water the sailors rugged u basket
on it, in which the captain, his wife,
and the sailors, one after another,
were brought across safely to the land.

COME TO ME- IN MY DREAMS.
by GEORGE d. PRENTICE.

Como to mo in my dreams, love;
Oh, come to me oft,
When the light wing Of sleep
On my bosom lies soft,
Oh, come when the sea.
In tho moons gentle light,
Beats low on tho ear.
Like the pulse of the night,
When tho sky and wave,
Wear their lcvoliest blue,
When the dew's on the flower
And the star on the dew.
Como in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh, como and well stray,
Where tho whole year is crowned
With the blossoms Of May
Where each sound is us sweet
AS the COO of dove,
And the gales are as soft
As the breathings of love;
Where tho beams kiss the waves,
And the waves kiss tho beach,
And our warm lips may catch
Tho sweet lesson they teach.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh, como and well fly
Like two winged spirits
OF love, through tho sky.
With hand clasped in hand,
On our dream wings we'll 20,
Who're the starlight and moonlight
Arc blending their glow;
And OH bright clouds well linger
Throu.,h long, dreamy hours,
Till loves angels envy
Tho heaven of ours.

the guard was doubled for the emor-
gency, md On inspecting party M
soon going the round Of tie prison:
While passing through bio Il 8, Char
lie, with his Federal uniform and i'm
provised gun, quietly fell IN with
them. Not finding anything suspi.
cious In that block they were marched
out. All the other blocks were vidted
without any discoveries being made.
The Lieutenant in command, exam
lining the Announcements Of the men,
discovered that Charlie had no cart
ridge box, when the following dia-
logue took place:
Lieutenant Of the Guard How y Il,
sir, that you have no cartridge box I
rlie-Well, Lieutenant, W fell
in outside in such a hurry declare ]
forgot it.
Lieutenant--Well You are i Ane
soldier /! no cartridge box! Suppose
the rebels were to attack "a while We
are in here among them3 Lot me see
your gun, sir!
The Lieutenant proceeded to an I'M
spection Of arms, still upbraiding the
delinquent soldier.
Charlie seeing this his last effort
was defeated, Strengthened himsslf,
brought his gun to 'in spection arms"
in true military style, and passed i
to the officer. OF course its weight
told the tale. The ruse was disc0v-
cred, and by neglecting the cartridge
box, the easiest Of all to make, our
hero was again defeated in bis
plans. BY permission Of the Lieut..
however, he was allowed to make tho
experiment Of passing the sentinel Mt
the gate, which lie did without eliciting
any surprise. He was then taken
before Colonel Cllas. w. Hill Of the
One Hundred and Twelfth Ohio, then
commandment Of the prison ut john
sons Island, who showed limself =
humane and considerable officer, and
who frankly admitted the prisoners
right to attempt to escape, comp
lilnentel him on his courage and
strategy, and condemned him To no
other punishment than the removal
Of his DISCUSSES aud his money, but
insisted on keeping his gun, which
he deemed fit trophy to be placed
among the archives Of the State Of
Ohio, where it is at present.
Charlie was then sent back to his
quarters to brood in sorrow over his
several failures, Notwithstanding the
indomitable courage, tho strategy, the
energy and the patience with which
he prose ;utel them. So confident
was his comrades that he had been
successful in this last attempt that
they prepared his l'ulk to lead the
sentinels to believe he was still there,
and were ready to vouch for his sick-
ness at roll call, when the intrepid
Pierce was there to answer f6rhimself,
and there he remained until paroled
with the others at the close oftlle war.
Arriving nj h 9 home in New @ leans,
like all true soldiers, lie accepted tho
situation as best he could, and pur-
sued the even tenor Of his way.
But the gallant spirit that could
never bend to the enemy had to sue
cumb to the yellow monster III 1867,
ut the age Of ewenty-six years, and
his remains now rest, with the dust Of
many Of his former comrades, in Green
wood Cemetery.
The brilliant record of Hays Brig
AIDE will show no name more fit to
adorn the niche Of fame than that Of
Lieutenant Charles Hatch Pierce.

been difficult to settle down upon anything

had no space to devote on uncertainties, but
have waited for the official figures. There

james Hayes was ordered 10 go over

corporation shows less than 100 increase in
the past ten years, but when we take ret
