A Significant Incident.

= n
In one of the battles of the late
war, young Doctor D., then q vol.
unteer captain in the Union army,
led his men up to hand.to- hand
fight with a Confederate regiment.
81 never" said the captain, "had
killed a man before. 1t is mass of
men l fought, an idea, the whole
South, not the individual.
bWhen l found myself, therefore,
slAing away at stout, blue eyed
Efeifow, Who might be some woman s
husband, and some child's father, 1
confess my courage gave way. I
actually shut my eyes as / hacked
desperately at him with my sword.
His arm fell helplesssly, and he drop
ped from his horse.
san hour later I saw him in the
surgeons tent The arm had been
amputated and lay upon the floor.
As the arm was carried away saw
on one of the fingers q ring carved
out of camel coal 1t looked to me
like child's work, and l drew it off
aud followed the wounded soldier,
determined to restore it. But in the
confusion of the battlefield / lost
sight of him." ~ sss4
The sequel of this story is as fol
lows: In the summer Of 1878, when
the yellow fever was raging in the
South, DIR. D. was one of the North
ern physicians who answered the call
for aid. ..1s ...tes .a,g.a
He went to Memphis and labored
for weeks among the sick and dying.
Among the patients brought to the
hospital was o Colonel &C., q man
with but one arm. - tIe -ni.f "a
/ Something familiar In the mans
.honest face troubled our Doctor, He
gave his constant care to him, both
nursed and prescribed for him, and
finally saw him recover. The two
men became warmly attached. -
B One evening when the Colonel was
able to leave his bed, they took sup
per together. DR.. suddenly drew
from his pocket black ring and laid
in on the table.
"Why, this is mine!" exclaimed
the Colonel. My boy Dick cut that
for me thirteen years ago"
"Then it was L who cat off your
Iarm," said D.. :f7f. sar 4
The men arose and faced each 9TH
ler silently a moment, and then their
hands met in hearty clasp. Their
strife MAS over, and the true.men
were true brothers again.

valing influence or the business in
terests of mankind. Every interesl
Of the creature is better developed
in harmony with the plans of the
Creator than they can possibly be
otherwise. No true Christian is 8
lazy man; Goodness is profitable
unto all things, having promise OF
the life that now is and that which
is to come" There can be no mar.
row bigotry here. There is, on the
other hand, wide field for the exer-
else Of every capacity with which
we are endowed by the Creator; and
wherever duty calls US, even in the
secular affairs of life, we may, in, the
faithful discharge of honest obliga-
tions, amid these affairs, look up to
our beneficent Father with the as
surance that he approves US in our
work.
The prophet Micah presents a
beautiful figure in the 4th chapter of
his prophecy, that well illustrates the
idea Of thrift in the realm of indus
try, peace and contentment. 1t is in
these words: "But they shall sit
every man under his vine and fig
tree and none shall make them
afraid" Here is the idea of home:
Such home as we believe every pru-
dent, industrious laboring man, in
this free country, may possess. A
home where there are home comforts,
home happiness; the cultivation Of
home tastes, and however humble it
may be, that makes the home the
centre of attraction to every member
of the home circle. No discomfort
here, nor envy at what another pos
sesses. "Every man shall sit under
his own vine and fig tree" This
does not mean a dry goods box on
some loafers corner. 1t does not
mean seat by the stove of some
tippling saloon or gambling den.
1t does not mean the seat of the
scornful, the idle, the complain
ing herd that say the world owes
them living. and who will not work;
nor the rendezvous of the beggarly,
dishonest tramp. No, it means none
Of these. 1t is that quiet inner
world home where peace, content
ment and competency reign, acquir-
ed by honest, frugal industry; where
independence defies the executions of
sheriffs, and where none dare molest
and make afraid.

A Refined Butcher.

Darkin's daughter returned from
Denton's butcher-shop, laid a steak
upon the table and said:
"That's the most refined butcher I
ever met. / asked him if this steak
was tender, and he said, oh! so
beautifully tender, as the maiden in
the first blush of love, a steak fit to
be classed with tender and hallowed
associations, and one likely to be de-
voured by so fair and beautiful a
maiden"
Harkins pushed the glasses up on

and then thundered:

The city OF Columbus has been

not altogether suit the democratic
brethren, who find that they are

to tell.
WOODEN DISHES.
There may be a good many read
ers of the JOURNAL who do not know
how or where the neat little wooden
dishes, that butter is SD generally
sold in, are made. While in Indian
apolis few days ago your correspon-
dent visited the largest establishment
in the United States for the manu-
facture of this sort of wooden ware.
The establishment employs over one
hundred hands, mostly girls from
IL to 16 years of age, some of whom
make dollar per day. The factory
produces easily 100000 dishes per
day when necessary. 1t has made
100000 in a day. The timber found
best for the work is white poplar,
but sugar, birch, ash and elm will
do. The logs are cut in about 3
feet lengths, steamed for hours and
then put horizontally in huge
turning lathe, where, as the log
rolls steadily over, three strips each,
about l foot wide and l-16 Of an
inch thick, are pared off in an
unbroken ribbon that might easily
be made 500 feet long if it were
necessary. These strips are passed
to a punching machine, where the
form of the dish is punched out,
with the ends cut for tapping and
rlviting with little timed wire pins.
About so girls are employed in
setting and clinching these pins,
each with a press worked by
treadle, and this process completes
the manufacture, except drying.
They are boxed in NESTS" of so
each and shipped to all parts of the
United States. 1t is a singular fact,
that the waste, the shavings, the
spoiled dishes, the splinters will not
burn without good deal of trouble,
though they will do we'll enough as
fuel in the furnace. This popularity
saves the factory serious cause Of
danger. The steam saturation of
the wood is the probable cause of
this. GALLIA.

Thrift.

IA
The term thrift, placed at the head
of this paper, signifies frugality, good
husbandry, economical management
in regard to property. Property Is
whatever we earn or produce, or ere
ate, by our labor or ingenuity or fore
thought, or all combined. Industry
is an essential element of thrift.
This implies that we do something,
and combined with thoroughness, 1t
means that we do 1t with interest,
and that we do what we undertake,
well. 1t is not to be ashamed of any
honorable occupation, however hum
Bile, but earnestly to strive to make
the very best of the circumstances in
which we are placed, and, if possi-
BILE, to improve those circumstances
without murmuring or repining. In
pecuniary sense, thrift means
that we spend less than we make,
Though we may labor hard and prol
cure a fair competency as the reward
of our toll and care, if we spend just
little more than we make, we arc
not so well off as he who makes but
little, yet saves part of that little.
Fortunes are not so much in the max
Ing as in the saving.
We often make llfe's burdens great
er than they need be. A frugal sims
plicity is far more conducive to hap
piness than a painful stretching be-
yond our measure, for the phantom
treasure or joy that lies just out OF
our reach. In seeking to avoid this,
however, we should not deprive our,
selves of laudable zeal and ambi-
tion to aim high, influenced as we
ever should be, by sound discretion
and judgment, and well directed iu-
dustry. But the miserable attempt
to walk in vain show; of presum-
ing to pass for more than we are, and
striving to lift ourselves above the
labor best adapted to improve our
circumstances and standing in COM
munity, is not an element of thrift,
or even common honesty. The ne
cessity of thrift is based on the de-
cree of the Almighty, couched IN
language as follows: "In the sweat
Of thy brow shalt thou eat bread till
thou return unto the ground" law
more than six thousand years old,
and still in force. Mankind, we sup
pose to be naturally indolent, as one
of the consequences of the fall.
Mans labor was light previous to
that event, and it can hardly be sup
posed he relished it any better after.
ward. Hence, to the seeker of world.
ly ease and pleasure, the Divine de-
cree may seem to bear with its gen.
eral application the nature OF an af.

the case would cast a reflection on
the Being who has the good of the
race in view, and who is too wise to
