Seletted gaetrg,
FROM BEHIND THE BARS.
WRITTEN IN THE ILLINOIS STATE PRISON

It's curious-isnt it, Billy p
The changes that twelve months may bring
Last year I was at Saratoga,
AS happy and rich as king
was raking in pools on the races,
And feeling the walters with "tens,"
And slipping mint. juleps by twilight;
And to- day am here in the 'pen."
"What led me to do it?" What always
Leads men to destruction and crime?
The Prodigal Son whom you've read of
Has altered somewhat in his time.
He spends his substance as freely
AS the Biblical fellow Of old;
But when it is gone he fancies
The husks will turn into gold.
Champagne, box at the opera,
High steps while fortune is flush,
The passionate kiss of women
Whose cheeks have forgotten to blush.
The old, old story, Billy,
Of pleasures that end in tears
The froth that foams for an hour,
The dregs that are tasted for years.
Last night, as sat here and pondered
On the ends of my evil ways,
There arose like phantom before me
The vision of boyhood DAYS.
thought Of my old home, Billy,
OF the school house that stood on the hill,
Ofthe brook that flowed through the meadow
can cen hear it's music still.
Again thought of my mother,
Of the mother who taught me to pray,
Whose love was precious treasure
That heedlessly cast away;
saw again in my visions
The fresh-lipped, careless boy,
To whom the future was boundless,
And the present but mighty toy.
I thought of all this as sat there,
OF my ruined and wasted life.
And the pangs Of remorse were bitter
They pierced my heart like knife.
1t takes some courage, Billy,
To laugh in the face of fate,
When the yearning ambitions Of manhood
Are blasted at twenty y-eight.

Har A little FIVE yearold friend, who was
always allowed to choose the prettiest kit
ten for his pet and his playmate, before the
other nurslings were drowned, was taken to
his mothers sick room the other morning to

reAectively from one to the other for min

the cheek of the plumpest baby, he said de-

A LITERAL APPLICATION.

Professor H., one of the oldest tutors o.
one of the oldest colleges in the country, was
as eccentric as he was learned. His judgment
anywhere in the fields of natural science and
philosophy was to be taken as law. No one
ever thought of questioning it. The ma,he
matical knot was never wrought which he
could not sever. On certain occasion Pro
fessor H. wanted a servant. Several appli
cants presented themselves-wer tried and
discarded. Finally one came whose looks
the pedagogue liked.
"Now look ye, my man." the savant said
eff you can remember and carry out one
course of procedure, think we may 60 on

servant. You must do your own thinking,
aud understand my wants at hint. For
instance: when say-"Brng me razor,
you will comprehend that | am going to
shave; so you will understand that want
hot water, SOAP towels, comb, brush, and so
on. And so with everything. My initial
order you will take as cue, and of your own
thought supply all possible accessories and
contingents."
The new servant proved himself equal to
the occasion, and his master was more than
satisfied
One day the professor came home pale
and shaky. Said he to his servant:
"John, am not feeling we'll. Go and
call the DOCTOR
The man, bowed and departed.
"An hour passed d-two hours-and yet no
doctor, and no servant. Finally, however,
the doctor arrived, and in moment more in
came the servant.
How is this, John?" demanded the pro.
fessor. "Why have you been so long,"
"You told me to call the doctor, sir"
"Aye, you could have done it in ten min.
utes"
"But, sir, you told me you were not well.
took your simple order as cue to all
you might need. I found the doctor absent,
and left word for him. Then went to call
watchers in case you should require attend

your lawyers, in case you should desire to

"Stop, stop, John! That will do. Bless
me! you can be literal in your application Of

"Not now, John. You may CO."
The professor is still living, and John still
serves him.
T1rFoR-TAT.-Two young men were
chums and friends in college. One became
a Baptist minister, the other an Episcopalian.
They did not meet again for years. When
they did, it was in the pulpit Of the Baptist,
for whom the Episcopalian preached to the
great satisfaction of the congregation. Ser
mon over, the two divines ducked their heads
behind the breastwork of the preaching desk
and had the following colloquy;
"Fine sermon, Tom; much obliged. Sorry
can't repay your kindness for preaching by
asking you to stay to our communion. Can't
though, you know, because you have never
been baptized"
"Oh don't concern yourself about that,
Jim. couldn't receive the communion at
your hands, as you have never been ordain-
ed"

HARDENING SMALL TOOLs.-1tis is said that
the engravers and watchmakers of Germany
harden their tools in sealing wax. The tool is
heated to whiteness, and plunged into the wax,
withdrawn after an instant and plunged IN
again. the process being repeated until the
steel is too cold to enter the wax. The steel IS
said to become, after this process, almost as
hard as the diamond, and when touched with
little oil or turpentine, the tools are excellent
for engraving, and also for piercing the hard
est metals.

wounded and his entire command dispersed.
This was almost the first check the British
received after the fall of Charleston, and did
much to inspire the dropping spirits of the
Wings in that section of the State, with the
hope of their country's ultimate success.
In less than two months after the battle
of Musgrove's Mills, Col. Williams led his
little band of patriots in search of Col. Fer

on the 7th of October, and gained a great
victory, capturing The whole British and tory

men, one hundred Of whom were regulars.
What command Roebuck had under Colonel
Williams in this battle is not known. Capt.

ed, and COL Roebuck drew US little to the
left and commenced the attack"
Colonel Roebuck was in the battle of
Blackstocks, under General Sumter, on the
goth of November, 1880, where Gen. Sumter
was badly wounded, and the command of his
forces devolved on Col. Twiggs of Georgia.
Col. Tarleton commanded the British forces,
conn. .enced the attack and was driven from
the field with considerable loss. The forces
engaged in this battle were considerable on
both sides, and Congress voted General Sum-
ter their thanks for his victory.
In July, 1880, was fought the battle of
Cedar Springs, under Col. Clark of Georgia,
in which Col Roebuck took an active part.
