"Wall, that's about the size Of it."
"Here," calling an officer, "give this

replied;

The Arkansas man, exhibiting no

"Bile me ham, cap'n, stew up couple

Congressman Blackburn, of Kentucky,
tell, the following story of his experience
in the Confederate army. -Four days

regiment we had a little girl baby. She
is now grown, and you always see her
with me at social gathering. Well. IN
our army the furloughs came very rarely.
When We got into line there was no great
chance for man to get home. 1t was
about three wears after that few US were

returning to my command, but pretty
well broken Hp. even then. As for money
we did not have any, and the night was
hot as ! laid down on the deck, my
throat almost parched with thirst. Pretty
soon little girl came along with q big
glass of lemonade. / tell you IL looked
good to me. She saw me eying it, stop
ped a minute, looked doubtsully at me
and finally came up to nay side. You
looked AZ if you wanted something to
drink, she said, and offered me the glass
1t wasn't quite the square thing to do
but | took it and handed it back to her

thanked the little creature and sent
her away. Soon after, just Ike any
child. she came back, leading her mother
TO see the poor soldier. By Jupiter, II

born. You can imagine the reunion,

Drifsings and s,fsnnss.

Idleness is the sepuIchrs e living
man.
Fidelity is seven-tenths of business
success. Parton.
Character lives in man, reputation
outside of him.
Work and experience form the only
wings upon which eyeDgenius can rise.
The heart that. is soonest awokc 10
the flowers, is first to be touched by the
thorns.
He who is the slowest in making a
promise, is the most faithful in the per-
formance of it.
Common sense does not ask an impos-
sible chess board, but takes the one be-
fore it, and plays the game.
Falsehood is in hurry, fearing detec-
tion and punishment; truth is calm
and serene, the elements of fear are
absent.
Personal character should always be
resultant of true action, instituted for
unselfish purposes. 1t is great mean
ness to make reputation a pursuit.
Life is only an inestimable blessing TO
him who, prepared to meet the future,
comprehends his position and its obliga-
tiODs, and is not afraid of the future.
All those actions which love naturally
dictates and performs, if performed as
simple duties, grudgingly and unwilling
ly amount to nothing AS christian duties.
1t is called for to educate the chill
dren, not to kill them. The training
of mind that comes through the loss of
health is a damage instead Of bless,
ing.
The poor fellow who is not certain of
what he can do or wants to do; not GER
tain that the world wants him or his
work, you will find, whatever his natural
powers, in a back street or cheap board
ing house, cursing his bad luck.
Philosophy seems to open the mind,
and to give it eyes within and without.
1t subjects all nature to our command,
