Such Is the power Of love.

Thirty years ago one of the popular
! lecturers il this country was Henry
Giles, an Irish Unitarian clergyman.
Now, at an advanced age and paralyz-
cd, he is forgotten, save by those who
provide for his wants ''Tcmpleton,"
the Boston correspondent of the Hart
ford Courant, tells the following anec-
dote of the once noted man. He was
man oflarge self esteem, and consid-
erable capacity of selfassertion, which
stood in the way of his success in the
ministry.
call to mind one incident which it
was my fate to witness.
MIR. Giles was engaged one summer
Sunday to preach in town about ten
miles out Of Boston. He stood up in
the pulpit to announce his text.
Exactly at the same moment tired
farmer who occupied Il conspicuous pew
in front of the pulpit, drew red silk
handkerchief from his pocket, deliber-
ateIy spreadit over his bald head and
forehead to protect them from the &ies
and then resigned himself to peaceful
slumbcr.
This was too much for the dignity
Of Mr.. Giles. He stopped, shut his
sermon, and began to glare at the SOM
nolent parishioner
The latter rested in serene uncon-
sciousness, while the rest of the con-
gregation looked to see how this sim
! gular dual would end.
The silence became protracted, till
all at once it appeared to occur to the
individual, who was the cause of it
that it was worth while to ascertain
the cause.
He removed his handkerchief and
looked up, only to find himself fixed
by th2 glittering eye of the preacher,
and by the eyes ofeverybody elsel
With a conyuIsivc start, he abandon
ed all thought of nap that day, and
the sermon went on. In fact, it was
n pretty lively congregation for hot
! Sunday.

AN INCIDENT or THE WAR.

An INCIDENT OF THE WAR.
Mid the blowing Of the bugles
And the rattling Of the drums,
Mid the sound Of many footsteps
And the booming Of the guns
4 sudden lull-and floating softly
On the balm-ladcn southern breeze,
4 sound like soft Holian music,
IEeaves through the leafy trees.
1t Is the glorious tune Of Dixie
And the "Boys in Blue" are still,
As they listen to the Southern band,
On the green, embattled hill,
As, between the lull Of war-sounds,
They catch the sweet refrain
OF Away Down South in Dixie"
As it sweeps across the plain;
First a low, softeued murmur,
And then, both loud and long,
From the lips Of the northern men
Rings forth the Southern song.
And in the bright, glorious sunlight,
The epaulcttcs melt away;
And all, in common brotherhood,
They stand in Gods bright day. [ton,
And "Away Down South in the land Of Cot

And is waited o'cr the hillside
70 the wondering Sou;hrons there.
All! if some chosen spirit
Could then have said the word,
The booming Of the cannon
Would have never again been heard.
And the bayonet spray would have vanished,
Like the mist in tbc summer sun, LGray"
And the "Boys in Blue and the "Boys in
Would have met on the plain as one;
But hark! A voice that il plainly felt
Rings out: "Order along the line"
And the song dies out in the trenches,
In chorus, long drawn and fine.
And then the roar and rattle,
The angry, whizzing she'll,
And the sulphurous smoke drifting
From the black-throated mouths Of he'll.

STOLEN KISSES.

In silence and hush Of dream,
With never 4 sound to be heard,
But a touch of lips in the CLEAN
OF the fire, and never a word;
The echo will ever repeat
Breaking the silence in twain,
"Stolen kisses are always sweet,
And love is never in yainn
or kiss would a maiden wake
From the charms OF dreadful sleep,
.And a touch OF true love would break
The peace that the blue eyes keep.
For ever the echo shall greet
Like the song Of a ripcning rain,
"Stolen kisses are always sweet,
And love is never in vain"
When hearts and lips have grown cold,
And love lies but for an hour;
When lifc's romance has been told,
And kisses have lost their power,
Then shall soft memory fleet,
No more dream to enchain;
Yet stolen kisses are always sweet,
And love Is never in vain!

a FRIEND requests us to publish
the following temperance items:
Some of the anti-prohibition papers
are considerably exercised over the
loss the country is likely to sustain in
the matter Of revenue in case the
manufacture and sale Of ardent spirits
should be prohibited by law. The
reYeuue to be lost is the tax now i'm
posed on liquors and the income from
the license system; but, while they
bewail the loss Of the revenue, they
seem not to think of the savings IN the
criminal processes, the jails, the peni-
tentiaries, the warehouses;. and the
asylums; the savings in time and pro-
ductiye labor now lost; the savings in
poverty, misery and wretchedness,
against which money is no Offset at
all. These savings aggregated would
more than double all the. revenue now
derived from liquor. Wonderful
economists are these self-same anti
prohibitionists!
It is thought that prohibition Of the
liquor traffic will triumph in the APP
preaching election in North Carolina.
1t is fitting that the first State to de-
clare independence of political tyranny
should lead in throwing off the slavery
to drunkenness.
There is much excitement III certain
localities about mad dogs. One we'll
patronized whisky saloon will do more
hurt than dozen mad dogs. The
whisky saloons are licensed;. the mad
dogs arc shot. And this is American.
common sense.
IF every man IN North Carolina
who has been hurt directly or indi-
rectly by whisky, will vote against it
in the approaching election, the result
will be the Ieliverance of that grand
old State from the curse that has so
long blighted its manhood and broken
the hearts of its women.
The Christian Statesman Of NIL
waukee thinks that the outcry of the
Wisconsin iquOT-sellers against the
enactment of Prohibitory laws be-
cause it would turn immigration away
from that State, is an. excellent argu-
ment for it, and eNclaiIns, blessed is
the State that prevents people coming
into it to drink"
In Carlyle, Illinois, seven saloon
keepers were recently arrested at the
instance of the Womans Christian
Temperance Union, for selling liquor
on Sunday. All seven were fined,
two of them 500 each. The prose
sutions have had very sallAsry effect
on Sunday Observance in the town.
In the fight for prohibition Of the
liquor traffic the young manhood Of
our country Is staked against whisky.
The mothers, sisters, and wives are on
the right side. 1t is safe to be il their
company.
A nauseous drug L added to the
exciting, il toxicating drink which
temptation offers, and though its favor
is at first disguised by the pleasanter
taste. Of the sin, It's bitterness IS per
sistent though slow, and clings to the
palace long after that has utterly
faded.
