young Doctor D., then a volunteer
captain in the Union Army, led his men
up to hand. to-hand fight with q Con.

my courage gave way. I actually shut
my eyes as hacked desperately at him
with my sword. His arm fell helpless,
and he dropped from his horse.
'Au hour after saw him in the sur
geon's tent. The arm had been ampu-
tatei, and lay on the floor. As the man
was carried away l saw on one of the
fingers ring carved out of camel coal.
1t looked to me like child's work,
and I drew it off and followed the
wounded soldier, determining to restore
it. But in the confusion of the battle
field, l lost sight of him."
The sequel to this story is as follows:
In the summer of 1878, when the yell
low fever was raging in the South, DR..
D. was one of the northern physi.
clans who answered the call for aid.
He went to Memphis and labored for
weeks among the sick and dying.
Among the patients brought to the hos
pital was a Colonel c., O man. with
but one arm.
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.
One evening, when the colonel was
able to leave his bed, they took supper
together. DR.. D. suddenly drew
from his pocket black ring and laid it
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 cut off your arm, y
said D.. sob
The men rose and faced each other ST.
lently for moment, and then their
hands met in hearty clasp. The strife
was over, and the true men were true
brothers again.

DYING WITH HIS FATHER touching
incident is narrated in connection with
the account of the death of Captain
Weatherley and his boy in Zululand:
How the boy came to be with his
father at such time is not told I; but
when the latter recognized that they
were in imminent peril, he told the lad
to jump on his horse and ride for his
life. /! The young fellow gave the horse

Meaning Of Words.

The word Sc. watch" was originally
used as term of endearment, similar
to darling" The word "wench" for.
merly was not used in the low and vul-
gar accepiation that it now is. dam.
sci" was the appellation of young ladies
of quality, and Dame"a title of dis
tinction. "Knave" once signified a
servant. "Varlet' was formerly used
in the same sense as ra,es. On the other
hand, the word companion, instead Of
being the honorable synonym Of associate
meant the same as "fellow." "Villain"
was bondman. Pedant,"a school.
master. Many words have deteriorated,
and gained q sinister meaning at first
foreign to them. The word cunning"
for example, formerly meant nothing
sinister or undetermined. "Demure'
is another of this class. 1t was used
by earlier writer's without the insinu-
alton which is now almost latent in it,
that the external shows Of modesty and
sobriety rest on no corresponding re-
alities. Explode ," formerly meant to
drive off the stage with loud clippings
of the hands, but gradually became ex-
aggerated to its present Specification.
"Facetious," too, originally meant ur-
bane, but now has 60 degenerated as to
have acquired tho sense of buffoonery.
"Indolence' originally signified freedom
from passion or pain, but now implies
condition of languid non.exertidn. I'm
solent" was once only unusual" "Gos-
sip" was sponsor at baptisms. A pc.
ct is person who writes poetry; aud,
according to the good old custom, a
proser was person who wrote prose,
and simply the antithesis Of poet. The
word has now sadly different signifi-
cation. -. .s...I o.

A correspondent says, The contrast,
I am told, was characteristic. The
man was bearded, bronzed and hardy,
with a fathers tears upon his cheeks,
while the blue.eyed, fair-haired lad,
with much of the beauty Of girl in
his appearance. was calmly and with .
smile of fond delight. loading his
fathers favorite carbine.

Healthy Women.

A writer in western, paper, urging
the necessity for more attention to phys.
ical culture, notes as favorable sign
that the pale and interesting type Of
female beauty is fast losing its popu-
larity, and the world is declaring for
the healthy standard of womanly
beauty, such as was ever recognized
by Greece and Rome. This is GER
tainly an important and happy change
in public taste, and already the effects
Of It are to be seen In an improved
condition of feminine health; for it
will hardly be denied that on an aver.
age the women OF to-day are physically
superior to what they were few years
ago, when tight-lacing and similar de-
stroying customs prevailed. Young
women take more exercise than they
formerly did. They ride and walk
more, and are more in the open air.
They have not the insane dread of the
suns rays which they once had. But
there is much room for improvement
yet. Many homes, are still presided
over by invalid wives and mothers, who
present constant spectacle OF misery
and sadness to their families and
friends, and are source of unlimited
expense to their husbands. In such
homes the greatest of all blessings that
could be hoped for would be the health
of the mistress restored; but too often
it is the one blessing which never
comes. American homes, more than
any other, perhaps, in the world, have
been saddened by sickly women. II
this shall, be 90 no longer 1t will Dc Q
great blessing to the nation. And the
remedy is simple. American men are
as strong and healthy rs those OF other
nations; there is no good reason WY
American women should not be. Az
that is needed is q proper attention W
dress and exercise. Let women dress
as men do, so that their bodies snau
not be squeezed and pressed togetnsl..
but have free room for motion, ana ie'
them get out into the air and SUNSHINE
as men do, and exercise the poules,,
and the race OF American women Will
not become extinct, as it once THREW
ened to do. On the contrary II WIZ w
improved, built up and beautihea' SUI
q time will shortly come when q healthy
man will not have to hunt wnolo
country over to fluid a healthy WIG:
We are on the right track now; al taa'
is needed is TO 60 ahead, ana the 10
suits will soon be manifest. "omen

is painful to see people anxious to beat

apparently as unable to escape as rats
in trap, although nothing bars their

pauy. The art or science of departure, >,
both from localities and positions, is
worth studying in great as we'll as lit

est difficulties in bidding farewell to q
most is to convey to him the impress.
sion that you have enjoyed yourself.
Expressions of thanks for a pleasant
visit are apt to have stereotyped and
conventional ring about them. A hos.
pitable man likes to know that his
friends have been, happy, but when
each of them mutters sort OF little
grace on his departure, he feels that
they are but paying him an ordinary
social compliment, for he knows that
they thauk their entertainers wherever
they go as regularly as they tip the
servants. Indeed We once heard Of an
absent and nervous man who, as he was
getting into the carriage which was to
convey him to the station, iuadvert-
emily tipped his host and thanked the
butler Tor his pleasant visit.

Notice.

MR. EDITOR Permit me to give notice through the BEE that Rev. Chas. Upson of New Haven, the Evangelist who la bored so acceptably in Danbury, last Winter, will, by invitation. conduct a se- ries of meetings in Newtown, commence ing next Sabbath. The meetings, as far as arranged, will be as follows: Sunday, Oct. 31st, morning and afternoon, at the Congregational church Sabbath evening in the NJ. E. church, Sandy Hook. Mon day evening at Taunton chapel and then (omitting Tuesday, every evening in the Congregational church. till the place of meeting is changed. The meetings will be uholly unsectdrian, and it is hoped all who believe in immortality and heaven or have any interest in the great themes and questions of the soul-will attend. If political gatherings attract those inter ested in politics, shall not religious gath erings attract all who are, or should be, interested in subjects of far higher im- portance It Is upon the strength of Rev. Mir. Upson's reputation as a judi cious, able and most interesting speaker and successful worker-in the hope that great good may be done to aH dwelling in our community and town-that he has been invited to come among us. Let all attend the first service, Sabbath morn ing, at 10: 30 o'clock, in the Congrega- tional church.
 In behalf of the churches and clergy, J. P. HoyT.

a Little Of.

Friday morning a gentleman awoke early, very early, but thinking 1t was time for the good wife to be up, nudged her with his elbow and said, Come. Katie get up and put the kettle on" The wife, supposing it was the right time to be up arose, dressed herself, went into the kitchen, and was amazed to find that George had called her just one hour and a half too soon. and that it was only twenty minutes to four. "Ill get even with him, said she but George had rolled over and was enjoying 8 good second nap, making music with his nasal organ not unlike that made by his ever bright saw when at work. The good wife sang merrily, and counted gleefully the mo- ments. as they flew toward the hour for getting George up. It did not take long to get breakfast, and when it was all ready, she glanced at the clock; "Only a few minutes after four, thought she, and seizing the bell she examined 1t to see how much of racket it could stand, then planted herself in the hall and made noise enough to awaken the dead. George and Eli awoke and arose. Eli thought the house was on fire, while George kept wondering what was the matter. The pair were soon ready and appeared at the table. 70, so sleepy !" yawned George, and so did Eli, because it was so duced early, you know, for breakfast.
 Kate kept busy, ready to de, however, of laughter. while George and Eli ate and yawned nip-and-tuck. Finally, Kate di- rected George to look at the clock. which
 he did. and to his horror found that he was about two hours ahead of time. Af- ter worrying down their breakfast. George and Eli drew up their chairs to the win dows, peered out into the darkness. yawn- ed, sighed, and wished it would get light,
 for whole hour. Kate thinks George and Eli will have an awful lonesome time to-day working in silence, as she knows their jaws are too sore to talk much, and that Geo rge will be more particular in
 calling her another morning before day.

Accidental Death.

The first fox of the season. weighing twelve pounds, was killed by MT. F. s. Bartrana, in Hanover, last week. Mr. B. says it was an accident-the result of a m5scaaculation on the part of the fox. He was out on the farm ill quest of squir- rels, while some professional hunters, with the famous hound Rock were on the opposite mountain, where the game was soon started. But the fox, with that shrewd, calculating instinct that posses ses the animal, decided to trust his chances on the side of the lightest artil- lery, and crossed over to where Mir. Bar tram was sitting, with the result as be- fore stated. Mir B. turned the game over to Rock" and his companions.
 He says 1t furnishes a moral, like all other fox stories, viz, to keep out ot range of Inexperienced gunners.

 About 10 o'clock Wednesday morning, of last week, an alarm of fire was sound- ed, which proved to be in the Willows hat shop. The fire department was on hand in short notice. and soon had control of the fire, which was situated in the drying room, over the boiler. The damage was but slight.

Three new depots will soon be erected nett's Bridge, by the N. Y. < N. K. rail- road company The contract has been awarded to MT. John Haliigan, who is a good bailder and a very worthy man. The depot at Hawleyville will be- a union depot, for the use of the New England. Housatonic and Shepaug roads. This will turn things around some, but the public will get the benefit of tho change.
 The hat shop of Edwin and Levi Short of Bethel, known as the Willows, ," caught fire last week. The Danbury Re pabticaa, speaking of ir. says it was Sharp Bros factory. The Danbury Democrat says 1t was Stout Bros hat shop. This shows how near purely political papers. both firing at each other during the pres ent great fight can be relied upon Tor tru9hfssg reports of the most common place affairs. They will both strike tsrra frma November 3d, and wonder where they have been the last two months.
 2. MT. X. l.. Baldwin of Eimwood district, Bethel, whose lively Buzz Ling as cor respondent for the press in general has made him familiar to the public. writes to the Danbury Democrat of last week the following, which we think will interest the farmers and affect our Christmas tur. key: "There has been disease among the turkeys of Elmwood and vicinity, of late, called the "black head, which has caused considerable destruction. L.. Whitehead. Esq, reports loss of nine from one flock, and twelve from others i; total, twenty-one. MT. Hinman Of Dodg- ingtown told our informant that he buried eighteen or twenty in one day. Smaller losses are reported by others, and it Is possible that the turkey festival" next mouth may suffer in consequence.
