Master of the Situation.

Ex-Governor Wise, who had been
made brigadier general by President
Davis, arrived at this time In Staunton,
en- route for the Kenawha Valley. His
arrival was the remote cause of very
ludicrous incident which came very
near opening our campaign with an un.
pleasant tragedy. Lieutenants Colonel
Crenshaw, who had gone with me TO pay
our respects To- Governor Wise on the
evening of his arrival, invited his staff
surgeon, DIR. Peter Lyons, TO accompany
us to our camp, with a promise of sar.
dimes, cigars and other comforts with
which he was provided. We reached
camp about nine o'clock, and were
halted by the first sentinel we approach.

and give the countersign. Unfortunate.
ly, although having the envelope con-
tanning the couterslgu, which had been
handed US by the adjutant, we had not
opened it and it was too dark TO read it
then. We replied - Commanding
officer without the countersign call the
sergeant OF the guard THAT won't
do" said the sentinel. "Now, mark
time them's my orders" We remon-
strated against the indignity TO which
he contemplated subjecting his field
officer in the presence of "A stranger as
well as against the exercise involved in
the execution of his command on hot
summer night, but he was inilexible.
Mark time" he replied, "or will
certainly shoot you" and suiting the
action to the word, cooked his muskct

but he was unreasonable; he knew moth.

his duty" which was 10 shoot US If we
did not "mArk time lie was master

foreheads. We were relieved 10y the ser.

our appetites for the expected repast by

was lunatic and sent for his company
officers TO make inquiries. II turned
out that he had been instructed at
Camp Lee by cadets OF the Military
Institute, who required all who failed to
have the countersign to 'mark time
for their amusement until the guard
officer appeared.

GOODBYE.

Who knows to-day that oar good bye, "
AT first, was not a wish, but prayer
A thought Of help forever nigh,
Aud God be with you every where
"Not as the world doth give, said He
Who of all men on earth were true
To His disciples tenderly,
Give my parting word to you. =
Then said He "Peace with You leave,
My peace 0 lends to yon give.
Lev not your hearts be said--belieye
Ttey that believe in Me shall live
On THAI upon our hearts mi ght lie
Breathe svermore that self-same word
AID oh that our good bye might be
Prayer or the presence OF our L-rd
Could clearer, sure, pie lge be given2
Could even tie better send
Than that with which Ne went to Heaven:
10, ! am with YOU TO the end2''
What cd we but with trusuul heart
Cling to His word Of hope aud cheer,
And say with me Thou always art.
Therefore no evil will fear r.
Then, as along these earthly ways
With weary feet we go and come
Long winter nights, long summer days,
But every football nearer home
i Not as the world . our lips shall say
Peace aad goodbye whene'er we pirt,
gntil we reach, some coming day
The blessing OF the pure in heart.

Re Cool.

We would not deter a single ac-
tive soul from any work to which it
may be called of God; but may we
not find it profitable to pause now
and then to mediate upon the value
Of character while we are thinking
so much Of the uses of activity
Doing good gratifes high and
holy ambition. Let every man do
all the good he can, but let us stop
and think of the value man may
be in a community by simply being
good. There is such power in
character. 1t insinuates itself as
vegetable and animal life does, and
it seems to be more resistless as it
invites more resistance. 1t is like
motion impaired to portion OF the
atmosphere, driving it forward into,
and, if possible, along with, portions
of the atmosphere which stand in its
way. But the very condensation of
air caused by the motion creates
resistance to the motion.
A pure, holy character eXerts its
influence like warmth. 1t spreads
itself through the community all the
more powerfully because so quietly.
You preach, men employ their In
tellects in answering your argu-
ments. You strive to reform the
vicious band themselves against you
to defeat your plans and operations.
But you are simply true and holy,
and there is no argument against
that. There is no resisting that. 1t
tells on every intellect.
In view OF this, might we not ex-
hort one another TO be less careful TO
do, than to be ? We may remind one
another that q man may be inces-
sanity and even usefully active
without becoming better. On the
other hand, no man can grow better
in himself without improving the
quality and quantity of his activity.
We are all the time exhorted to
shine. How much better is it to
strive to be suns A sun does not
have to strive to shine. Because it
is "A sun, it is luminous; if it were
not sun it could not be luminous.
We may become nervous and ir,
ritable and unhappy in these inces-
SAINT exertions to do some good for
the Lord, but to be still and quiet
aud loving may make us what the
world so much needs now-really
holy characters.
Look at the benedictions in the
sermon on the mount. Study them.
Who are the happy, the blessed
those who are giving something and
doing something No. There is
not single mention of activity. 1t
is all being something being meek,
being pure at heart, etc.
Let us then add to the constant
exhortation of 'do good, the addi-
tional important exhortation, be
good. -Erchange.

A handy thing indeed to have in

book, going much farther into de-
tails and summing up facts more
concisely than the ordinary run of
such publications. About every
thing that one wishes to know is
presented clearly and intelligently.
The comparisons of the vote of this
year with the vote of the preceding
election are full and complete, show
ing not only majorities but losses
and gains on Republican, Democrat

Where States have been redistricted
congressionally, the comparisons are
made in districts as now constituted,
and in the remarks all the changes
in districts are shown, as well as
very much interesting data relative
to candidates, ETC., etc.
The book will be an invaluable re-
ference for use at coming elections,
and those who take any interest
whatever in politics should adopt
means to secure copy now, as pos
sibly when they want it most the
edition will be exhausted. The mere
trouble Of inditing a request to T..

the receipt of "A copy of the book, as
