Relics of an Ancient Battle.

The excavations which have been
going on under the famous Lion at
Cheronea, where the Beotians who
fell in the battle with Philip of Mac
edon, August, 338 B. c., were inferred,
have thus far disclosed two hundred
and seventy skeletons. Among the
most recently exhumed, two have been
found transixed with iron lances.
Six of the skeletons. more or less pre-
served, and remarkable for the frac-
lures Of their bones and the firm
manner in which they died Of their
wounds, have been prepared to be taken
from their place in plaster and trans
ferred to the museum in Athens.
where they will remain among its
greatest curiosities and wonders. The
face OF the monumental lion, who sits
with head thrown up, expresses rage,
grief, and shame, together with that
moderation which is characteristic of
all Greek art. Pausanias, who wrote
about $50 A. D., says: ssOn approach
ing the city is the tomb of the
Bgotians who fell in the battle with
Philip. 1t has no inscription, but the
figure of lion is placed upon it as an
emblem Of the spirit of these men.
The inscription has. been omitted, as
| suppose, because the gods had willed
that their fortune should not be equal
to their prowess. It is interesting
that, after the lapse of two thousand
two hundred and almos years,
we are able to read in the bones which
have been thus exhumed, in the
fractures Of their bones, and in the
iron lances by which they are pierced.
the story Of their heroic struggle to
maintain the independence of tn cir
country. J

The daisies nodded in the grass, the buttercups
were sleeping,
And just across the river sang the farmers at
their reaping;
Upon the hills SO blue and far, the maple
leaves were showing
Their soft white beauty in the breeze that from
the sea was blowing.
A little maid came through the lane, with song
and rippling laughter;
The buttercups made way for her, the daises
nodded after.
the parting river;
She drew a lily from its depths, with golden
heart a-quiver.
"Thou art more fair than lilies are," said he
with head uplifttd,
And threw poppy, as the stream toward the
the maiden drifted,
She set the flowers in her hair, the red and
white together;
A cloud grew black before the sun and rainy
was the weather;
He came across the river then, the farmer
from his moving;
He minded not the water's depth, he cared not
. for its flowing.
80 Love ~ said ho, ''if cleaning sun and
cloudkss skies o'erlean us,
The rivers barring width may roll unpassed,
untried between us:
buI Wuen lOud tnunoef nl1S the air, anu clouds
and rain come over,
pll cross the ocean to your side-I am no fair
day loVer!"
And SO one day the village bells rang out
across the river,
Their music set the buttercups and daisies all
a-quiVer,
While someone drew Ally from the stream so
blithely flowing,
And plucked blood-red poppy that amid the
wheat was growing;
The maiden set them in her hair, the red and
white together,
With many smile, tear or two, and glances
at the weather
They passed beneath the chapcls side, the
farmer and the maiden,
Where arches crossed above their heads, with
snowy blossoms laden,
And in that place of holy calm the binding
words were spoken;
He in his heart bore out the truth, she on her
head the token,
The years went by, and some were bright and
some were clouded over,
But ever stood he at her side-ne was no fair
day lover.

Healing the Sick by Prayer.

The Macon (Mo.) Register, says that
wonderful recovery Of a young lady,
who has been confined to her bed for
five years, is reported from Eagle
township, this county, and not only
reported, but vouched for as fact, by
some of our best citizens, who are
acquainted with the facts in the case,
who saw the girl frequently while
confined to her bed and have seen and
conversed with her since her recovery.
The name of the young lady, who is
now about 81 years Of age, is Ada
Whitehead, daughter of Richard
Whitehead, Esq. During her long
confinement Of five years she has been
attended, at different times, by several
OF our leading physicians, and at times
her life was despaired of, she having
on several occasions seemingly been at
Deaths door, with the door partly
open for her ingress to the world
beyond. A protracted meeting, under
the auspices Of the Cumberland Pres
byterian church, had been going on in
the neighborhood where Mr.. White
head resides, and during its con-
tinuance day and an hour was agreed

ever they might be, in one common
prayer, as it were, for the speedy
recovery and complete restoration to
health of Miss Whitehead. The hour
came one day last week. The prayers
were begun and continued with a
fervency and zeal that must produce
required result, if answer in these
days is given from on high to prayers
sincere. Prayer was made at the
residence of Mr.. Whitehead, as well
as at other dwellings, and before the
hour had near expired, Miss White
head, unaided, rose from her bed,
called for clothes, and declared she was
healed. She got up and has been going
about ever since. Persons going to
Mr.. Whitehead'sthe same or next day,
and before the fact became generally
known, were surprised to have the
door opened by Miss Ada in response
to their knock. Let it be remembered
that for five years she had been
helpless invalid. and for eighteen
months has been confined to her bed
unable to rise or turn without aid, that
she had wasted away to a mere skele-
ton, and that in a moments S time, as
1t were, she was able to get up with
out aid and go about the house prais-
ing God and declaring she was well
again.

EnOch Arden going Ho,ne.

He said that being in the city he
would like to take in the City Hall, and
after he had tired himself out in
climbing stairs and walking corridors
he came back to the ground floor and
remarked to the policeman on duty
there:

the officer.

the stranger. and I know exactly

It was witha a great sense of relief
that, having elbowed his way through
the dense crowd on tenth street above
and below Ford's theatre, he safely
reached the house whene Mr.. Lincoln
was dying, and conducted him to the
room where Secretary Stanton and
the rest of the cabinet were, and the
doors were then closed and the situa-
ton calmly discussed. To provide
for future contingencies, it was resoly-
ed that as soon as possible after the
death of Mr.. Lincoln, which was a
foregone conclusion, Mr.. johnson
should be sworn in as president.
After looking at the still insensible
form of Mr.. Lincoln for few
moments, and without an expression
of any kind, which reticence he had
observed from the beginning, Mr..
johnson signifed his readiness to
return to his rooms with the provost
marshal. In going or coming but few
words were spoken. Once, however,
the provost marshal, who felt deeply
the waning condition of Mr.. Lincoln,
his good friend, yentured to remark
that he hoped now that all forbear-

The Children's Garfield Home.

A new project in memory Of the late Pres
ident originates in the suggestion oi little
boy, " lille 4. Hefrck, for founding Gar
field Home" for poor aud sick children by sub
scriptioBs from the children Oi America.
Willie writes TO the New York Eueaing Post
AS follows
felt very badly when our President died,
and my brother and think 1t would be very
nice TO have q home In the country for little
sick children. Mamma thought that each little
boy OF girl could give from one cent up to
twenty-five cents. We thought we could call
il the s. Garfield Home. F" aud we also thought
it would be very nice 10 have picture Of Pres
ident Garfield in 1t. We would like all little
boy and gIrls 10 join in this Please put this
in the paper, and also put in for the parents to
tell the children. WILLIE p. HERRICK.
NEWPORT, sept. "a, 1881.
To this letter, inclosing dollar as the con-
trbution OF four children, Wille's mother
sdds D:
"The children were intensely interested and
afferted. Their earnest, child-iike prayers and
faith touched our hearts, and we have heard
the same story from other parents. Great
good might be accomplished by turning this
tide Of children's sympathy and love to prac-
tical use."
The Post having declined TO act a. banker of
the iund, the ST. NICHOLAS MAGAZINE for
Young Folks announces that 1t will reprint
Willie's suggestion In its November number,
believing that its young readers will be glad
to learn of the project, and to give 1t pract ica

have volunteered to receive and credit all SUBJ

How They Salt a claim.


81 wish YOU would explain to me all about
this sailing Of claims that | hear so much
about" said a meek-eyed tenderfoot to a
grizzly old miner who was pannlng about
six ounces Of pulyerized quartz Il don't
see what they want to salt claim for, and
| don't understand how they do it
well, you see, a not season like this they
have to salt claim lots OF times to keep il.
A fresh claim is good enough for fresh ten
derfoot, but old timers won't look at any
thing but picked claim. You know what
quartz is, probably y
No"
"Well. every claim has quartz. Some
more and some less. You find out how
many quartz there are, and then put in so
many pounds of salt TO the quart. Wild
cat claims require more salt, because the
wild cat spoils quicker than anything else.
Sometimes you catch sucker, too, and
YOU have to put him in brine pretty plenty,
or YOU will lose him. That's one reason
why they salt claim.
Then, again, you often grub stake a
man"
But what is a grub stake ?"
"Well, grub stake is stake that the
boys hang their grub on so they can carry
it. Lots of mining men have been knocked
cold by blow from a grub stake.
What | wanted TO say, though was this :
lou will probably at first strike free milling
poverty, with indications of something else.
Then YOU will no doubt sink till you strike
bed rock, or true tissure gopher hole, with
traces of disappointment.
That's the time to put in your salt. You
can shoot it into the shaft with double
barreled shotgun, or wet it and apply it with
a white brush. If people turn up
their noses at your claim then, and say it is
a snide, and that there is something rotten
in Denmark, YOU can tell them that they are
clear OFF, that YOU have salted your claim,
and that you know it is all right"
The last seen of the tenderfoot he was
buying double barreled shotgun and ten
pounds of rock salt
There's no doubt but mining camp is the
place to send a young man who wants to ac-
quire kno ledge and fill his system full OF
information that will be useful 10 him so
long as he lives.
