A FIRST LESSON IN HANDLING A GUN.
The first thing to be learned is to stand
properly. Plant both your feet naturally
and firmly on the ground, so that the joints
of your legs are neither stiff nor bent; then
lean the upper part of your body slightly
forward. Grip the gun-stock just behind
the guard with the right hand, the forefn-
ger lightly touching the foremost trigger,
that is the trigger Of the right-hand barrel.
The stock of the gun, a few inches in front
of the guard, must rest easily in the hollow
of the LETT hand. Hold the muzzle of the
gun up and slanting away from you, so that
the lower end of the butt is just lower than
your right elbow. Now, if both hammers
have been cooked, and you gently and swift
ly draw the butt Of the gun up toand against
the hollow of the right shoulder, you will
find yourself in good position for taking
aim, which is best done by keeping both
eyes wide open, and looking straight over
the rib between the barrels with the right
eye.
You will soon discover the trick of doing
this, by fixing your aim with both eyes
open, and then holding it perfectly steady,
closing the left eye; if the line of sight now
changes, you have not sighted correctly;
if it remains fixed, the aim has been taken
with the right eye.
BE careful, after firing never to set your
gun down with hammer up. That is the
cause of many deplorable accidents. To
avoid accident you must be constantly on
the alert and cautious, not overlooking even
the slightest precaution.-,S. Nicholas.

AN THE GARDEN GATE.

"Come and unbar the garden gate,
My hands are full of gathered flowers"
Sang blithesome Kate, as the painted sky
Was fading out mid evening hours;
Awelcome song to my listening ear,
From prattling, pretty, winsome Kate;
So I hurried O er the well-worn path
That wound along by the garden gate.
A cloud of fragrant apple blooms
Was hung so closely overhead
That even sly, eavesdropping birds
Could not make out word we said,
Nor take note of what was done
By bashful swain and blushing Kate,
And both have kept the secret well -
Those happenings at the garden gate.
Bright roses bloomed GA Katie's cheeks,
While fading sunlight bathed her hair;
A merry twinkle filled her eyes;
Her lips-well, kisses nestled there.
Idrew the bar and cleared the way.
That she might pass, my bonnie Kate;
But toll was claimed; she paid; and l
Returned it all at the garden gate.
Long years have rolled away since then,
And we have lived and loved together,
Sometimes in sun, sometimes in shade,
Unmindful of the wind or weather.
Each year, when comes the apple blooms,
At eve I go with my darling Kate,
And on each anniversary day
Take toll anew at the garden gate.

LABOR IN Observation-Disclosures in Mexi-
co fare hard Thirty cents day is the COM
mon rate of wages, and for that the natives
are content to perform the heaviest labor.
Farm work, mining, factory labor and do
mestics service are all alike paid low. The
custom of making loans to laborers to be re-
paid by work is common, and tends materi-
ally to prevent their social advancement.
The large factories are thus enabled to re-
tain their hands as long as they desire.
The latter are not allowed to leave their
debts, and as that is generally impossible
out of wages which are barely enough for
support, the debtor continues virtual slave
to his life's end.

armies that were turned over TO the United
States authorities at the surrender being

soldiers and sailors OF the state for the

commend that steps be at once taken for
reunions of companies or larger COM
monds, at which those present shall enrol
their own names, with the particulars
called for by the act, and those OF their abb

/ do not think it is necessary or would
be becoming in me to urge a compliance
with the request here made by argument or
appeal. The work which the State has di-
rected me to do is about all that she can
now do to show her appreciation of the
fidelity and devotion Of hcI sons living and
dead, and to transmit TO posterity the hon
ored names OF the heroes OF cause that
was very dear to her. with the prompt,
active, and jealous cooperation OF the sur
viying participants in the struggle this
work may be done. Otherwise not.
A just pride in what they did, aS
well as an honorable sense OF what
is due TO the memories Of the comrades
who fell by their side while the conflict
went on, should inspire all to make de-
termined and systematic effort to make the
great record as complete as is now posi-
Bile. When finished it will be Virginia's
Roll of Battle Abbey, and the descendants
OF the soldiers OF the COnfederacy for
countless generations to come will search
it for the names Of ancestors, and will be
disappointed and mortified il they do not
find them. Respectfully,

General sherman and the Militia.

General Sherman has written letter 10
committee OF st. Louis militia officers who
had requested him to accept the brigadier-
generalship OF the State militia. explain
Ing that he cannot do so because he is still
i'm the service Of the General Government,
and adding: Nevertheless, want you to
feel that |, who am now Il resident and
taxpayer OF the State, appreciate the pa
triotism and great honor due the men who
under such adverse circumstanceSihaveO or
ganiZcd themselves into companies and
regiments to give stability and protection
TO the lives and property Of the people. |
want to encourage you to patience and per-
severance all | can, for | honestly believe
that the time is near when our peO-
pie, who love peace and its enioyments,
will realize that these are only possible by
being prepared for war; not war in the
sense OF great battles, but war to protect
life and property. which is the chief object
OF all government. a court without a
sheriff would be Il farce city without a
police would be pandemOnium, 80 a
State without a militia becomes the subject
of ridicule BY our laws. customs, and
usages the sheriff and police are paid and
maintained by the, communities they guard,
but from old preiudiceS dating 800 years
back in English history an army is regarded
in this country as unnecessary, or as danger
Gus to the Republic. Although the army
and militia have saved this Government in
three great cases, this old prejudice has
gone on and has cost the Republic OF the
United States thousands Of millions OF dol
lars but the people now realize that pre-
ycnliOn is cheaper than cure. The Gen
eral Government will help the militia
somewhat, and the State must complete
the system whereby a suitable armed force
shall be always maintained for its own So
curity. II is simply disgrace that young
men generally poor should be expected to
form companies, regiments. and brigadcS,
furnish their own armOl1eS, uniforms,
arms. equipments, and ammunition. and
subject themselves TO restraint and diScip-
line to be used at the pleasure OF the state
authorities, d Ia Pickwick, provided they
pay their own expenses. l say the time
has passed when this absurdity should
longer exist, ana the State OF Missouri, a.

should make suitable provision for it,
