Albert Sidney JOhnstOn's Epitaph.

The inscription on the tomb OF the
late Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston, the
rebel leader, killed at Shiloh, April 6,
1862. and buried at Galveston, Tex,
has been pronounced by many as fine a
bit of graveyard rhetoric as exists in the
English language. It is as follows:
Behind this stone is laid, for q season.
ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSTON,
A General in the Army of the Confederate States,
Who fell at Shiloh, Tennessee,
On the sixth day Of April,
Eighteen hundred and sixty-two.
man tried in many high offices
And critical enterprises,
And found faithful in all;
His life was one long Sacrifice of Interest to Con-
And even that life, on woeful Sabbath,
Did he yield as a Holocaust at his country's need
Not wholly understood was he while he lived;
But, in his death, his Greatness stands confessed
In Peoples tears.
Resolute, moderate, clear of envy, yet not wanting
in that finer ambition which makes men great and
In his onor-Impregnable;
In his Simphcity-Sublime;

No people holder Defender-No Principle purer

Chan the dead Soldier
Who sleeps here
The Cause for which he persisted is lost
The People for whom he fought are crushed-
Tie Hopes in which he trusted are shattered
The Flag he loved guides no more the charging
lines;
But his fame, consigned to the Keeping of that

In honor, now, our great Captain rests
A bereaved People mourn him;

Conscience unmixed with blame,
Have been in all Conjunctures true to themselves,
their People and their God.

Marrying the Dead.

An extraordinary marriage ceremony
took place at Portsmouth, England, not
a great while ago. a Miss Mainwaring,
the daughter Of an army officer, was
about to be married, and her trousseau
had been prepared and all other arrange
ments made; but a few days before the
time fixed for the wedding she sickened
and died. Nevertheless, it was deter
mined to go through the marriage cere-
mony as far as possible before the inter
ment. Her body was, therefore, taken
in the coffin to church, followed by her
friends in wedding costume, the de-
ceased's wreath of orange blossoms be-
ing placed at the head OF the coffin.
Several clergymen oficiated, and, after
reading the marriage service, that for
funerals was proceeded with, after
which the cortege proceeded to Ports
mouth Cemetery, where the interment
took place.

In general terms it has often been re-
peated that President Garfield was what
Queen Elizabeth called Sir Walter Ra-

might add he was worker of prodigies.
Yet I doubt if one person of thousand
has any adequate idea of the hardships
of study, privation and trial whichsPres-
ident Garfield was subjected to, especial

grew stronger, after he had reached the
maturity of his wonderful intellectual
power and greatness, he came to be III

er, and he bent every energy of mind
and body to meet the increased demand
for his services. He never spoke but
upon full preparation, and so when he
entered the campaign, year after year,
he was almost exhausted physically by
the protracted vigils and meditations
over his books, to which, more than any
man since Clay and Webster, he was
addicted. His physique was matchless

very fine, had the strength Of steel, and
he could, therefore, stand enough to kill

A Romantic (iirE's Experiment,

Says the Middletown Press A young
lady, aged eighteen years, with brown
hair and hazel eyes, who does not live
many miles from Middletown, and who
had been reading the story of the mes
sage written OH all egg, conceived the
idea of doing something similar. She
is the daughter of farmer, but as the
product Of eggs was not very large and
the home demand was brisk, she could
not get her message to market in that
way. An opportunity offered itself one
day. She overheard her father say that
he must take his apples to town, as there
were more than the family needed The
apples were accordingly laid in the
wagon house over night, to be marketed
in the morning. The romantic girl
wrote on little piece of muslin, in in
delible ink, her name "a fictitious one),
her address, and the two words "Write
me-" She then rolled it up in very
small roll, cut out little piece of an APP
pie near the stem, put ir the roll and
closed it up, and then put the apple in
with the lot for market In about
week she heard from her message. The
letter was written to the address named,
and was evidently from some tramp or
vagabond, who had perhaps stolen the
apple from some grocer's stand. Almost
every word was spelled wrongly, and
the tone of the letter was coarse. The
young lady never replied to 1t, and it is
safe to say that she will not make any
more experiments in that direction.
