AN ABSORBED READER.-IR

AN ABSORBED READER.-In a
Dubuque (Iowa) church, before
the opening Of the Sunday morn
ing service, a man in front pew
pulled d paper from his. pocket
and began to read. He became so
wholly absorbed that he did not
observe the preacher when he
rose to read the biblical lesson,
nor did he hear the loud and elo-
queut prayer that was afterward
offered. From page TO page Of the
paper the reader glanced, rustling
the crisp sheet in his hands until
every eye in the church was at
tracted toward him. The preacher
was em barrasscd and the congre-
cation smiled and scowled, &C
cording as they thought the mat
ter funny or sad. Finally the
choir struck up a hymn, Give ear,
ye sinners, to the call, and the
absorbed reader dropped his paper
and gave heed.

From the News and Courier.


WASHINGTON, January 1.-two
memorable incidents of the late
war, which excited more or less
attention at the time of their occur
renee, have been recently recalled
to recollection under circumstances
that invest them with a new inte-
rest. Many of Gen. Johnson Ha-
goods old soldiers will doubtless
recall the circumstances Of the first
affair, while some members of Gen.
Kershaw's Brigade can perhaps
testify more in detail to the facts
of the second.
For the information of your
other readers, however, it should be
briefly stated that on the 2lst OF Au-
gust, 1864, Gen. Hagood's brigade
with five others were ordered to
carry a strongly entrenched Fede-
raj position on the Weldon road
near the Yellow Tavern, a few
miles from Petersburg.s Virginia.
For some reason only two ,rigades,
of which Gen. Hagood's was one,
went into action, and Gen. Hsgood
at the head of his men swept over
and beyond the first line of en-
trenchments in a charge that car
ried all before it.
At the second line they were
confronted by overwhelming num-
bers, and met by such close aid
deadly fire that their advance was
checked; and, further progress be-
ing manifestly impossible, the COM
mand halted and endeavored to
maintain the unequal fight where
it stood. Being wholly unsupport-
ed, however, and it plainly appear
ing tuat the assault had failed on
this account, retreat became ine-
vitable.
At this critical moment mount
ed officer dashed out of the Fed
eral breastworks and, riding down
the Confederate ranks, commanded
the men to throw down their arms
and surrender themselves priso-
ners. A number of both officers
and men, deening their plight a
hopeless one, obeyed the order al
most mechanically, and the officer
had already taken the colors from
the hands of the ensign, when Gen.
Hagood, who was on foot and at
some distance, discovered what was
taking place, and recognizing the
necessity for prompt action, order
ed his men
TO SHOOT THE OFFICER ON THE SPOT.
This order was not heard, or, at
any rate, was not obeyed, and fir
ing his pistol at the bold rider
without effect, Gen. Hagood ad-
vanced rapidly towards him, and
demanded that be should give up
the colors Oh the instant. The
officer replied that the command
had surrendered and thai Cen. Ha-
good was himself prisoner. Gen.
Hagood replied that no one but
himself had any authority to sur
render; that he did not propose te
do so, and again demanded the
flag to be given to him, adding
that the officer was cat liberty tc
return to his own line if be did so. ,
"You have made a brave fight
General" responded the brave ane

WHAT DOES IL MATTER.


It matters little whess was born,
Or if my parents we're rich or poor;
Whether they shrank from the cold world s
score,
Or walked in the pride Of wealth secure;
But whether live an honest man,
And hold my integrity firm in my clutch
I tell you brother, plain as can,
1t matters much!
It matters little how long stay
In world Of sorrow, sin and care;
Whether in youth am called away.
Or live till nv bones and pate are bare;
But whether do the best can
To soften the weight Of sdVersity's touch
On the faded cheek Of my fellow-ma
It matters much!
It matters little where be my grave
Or on the laud or on the sea!
By purling brook or meath stormy wave,
It matters little Or naught to me;
But whether angel Desth comes down,
And marks my brow with his loving
touch,
AS one that shall wear the victor's crown,
It matters much!
