HE WAS THE MAN.

During the Brooks Baxter war, Gen. eral James NJ. Pomeroy was General Bob Newton's chief of staff. One even- ing, pomeroy, who was only colonel at that time, approached General Newton. and with that military ceremony for which he is distinguished, informed him that the army was much in need ol horses. There are no horses in our lines" said he, except those at Gross X Divers livery stable. These gentlemen sympathize with the Brooks side, and persistently refuse to let us have the horses, even at the most exorbi,ant price.
 But we must have them," General Newton replied. of we cannot secure them one way, we must try the osher.'
 "All right, general, having sufficiently tried the one way, will now go and ex- pertinent with the otheT.'
 That evening, with a squad of men, Colonel Pomeroy broke open the stable and took the horses. Gross X Diver swore out a warrant for the arrest oi Pomeroy, charging him with horse s,eal- ing, and gave it to Colonel w. s. Oliver, who was at that time sheriff of the county. Colonel Pomeroy became uneasy when he heard ot the proceeding, and whils eating dinner, he looked up at General Churchill, who s,t opposite to him, and said
 General suppose that a warrant should be sworn out for the arrest of . man and given to the sheriff. What do you suppose General Newton would do in case the accused man were in our lines ?"
 aWhy, he would surrender the man to the sheriff, of course"
 But, general, suppose the charge to be horse stealing ]"
 "Why, most emphsticaliy the man would be surrendered to the sheriff.
 But, good Lord :" exclaimed Pomcroy, dropping his knife and fork, . am the man."
 or course the warrant vas not served, the horses having been taken through " military necessity" but Pomeroy d,d not feel entirely at ease Sor several days, and after he reads this article. it is quite likely that the writer will not feel that comforting ease % necessary to a man who males his living by the sweat of the ink bottle.

of the evil spirits, at marriage to prevent the
evil eye from affecting the happy pair, and at
death to drive away the demons who were
thought to be always On the lookout for the
soul of the dying man. Naturally then, as
candles played so important part in the
ceremonies Of religion, men became accus-
toned to regard them with something of a
superstitious eye and to look to them for
signs and wonders which were not to be
elsewhere found.
So peculiar appearance in the candle,
for which no reason could be given, was al
WAYS regarded as indicative OF some remark

tallow round the wick is still known as q
winding sheet, and is believed to foretell the
death of one of the family, while bright
spark is a sign of the future reception OF a
letter by the person opposite whom the spark
is situated and the waving of the flame
without any apparent cause is supposed to
demonstrate the presence Of a spirit in the
room In addition to these fanciful notions
there are some others which are founded on
natural facts tho well known to admit of dis
pute. such as the refusal of the candle to

Wendeu Phillips co,ertsnip.
Boston Traveller.

A pleasant little story of Wendell Phillips
courtship it is no violation of confidence to
repeat in print. The date is in the '30s,
when stage coaches had not yet given place
to railroads. A certain Miss Green was to
make journey to Albany, and Charles Sum-
ner, then "a rising young lawyer" having a
mission to Pittsfeld, was, at the request of
the family, to accompany her part of the
way. But Sumner was timid, and did not
like the idea of travelling with girl in the
seclusion of stagecoach. He applied to his
friend Wendell Phillips to take his place.
eff you will go,'' he said, 81 will pay your
fare both ways" Young Phillips required
no urging. The pair set out, and the future
agitator had not traversed more than half the
journey before he had fallen desperately in
love with his brilliant companion. She gave
him no encouragement, but the man who
could DEFY mob was not the man to be
daunted when a matter of the heart was at
issue. On Miss Greene's return to Boston
he called upon her, and then and there asked
her to be his wife. She treated his proposal
coldly, but he pleaded his suit with all the
eloquence which gave him the title of ''the
silver tongued." At length overcome by
his importantly, the maiden said: 81 will
marry you on one condition-that you swear
eternal enmity to slavery" I swore that
four years ago." was the reply, ''and will
willingly swear it again" Miss Greene was
then an invalid, and when the two were mar
ried it was in her chamber, which she was
not expected to leave again alive, that the
ceremony took place. But Wendell Phillips
devotion had its reward. She lived to be the
guide of his life and to witness the posthu-
nous honors heaped upon his grave.

ORIGIN OF POPULAR PHRASES.

Albion.-An ancient or poetical name OF
England. The name 'sAlbon" is derived
from the Latin albas, white, on account of
the appearance of England's chalky cliff.
Yule.-From the Anglo-saxon geOl, Chris
tians; applied also sometimes to the feast of
Lammas The "yule-log,'' or. "yule-block, ~
was large block of wood formerly put on
the hearth on Christmas Eve as the founda-
ton Of the fire.
Crew.-From the old English words crue,
increase OF gathering. The primitive mean
ing is company, and in this sense it is used
by Milton. In modern usage, except when
to designate a ships company, it usually has
a derogatory implication.
Fetich.-This is Portuguese word mean
ing sorcery, charm. The Latin .facticius is,
made by art; material thing living or
dead, which is made the object of supersti-
tious worship, as among the certain African
tribes.
Chaplain.-From the French chaplain, and
the medieval Latin capellanus, from capelza, a
hood, sacred vessel, chapel. 1t is said that
the kings of France, in war, carried into the
field ST. Martins hat, which was kept in a
tent as precious relic, whence the place
took the name capella, g little hat, and the
priest who had the custody of the tent was
called, capellanus, chaplain.
Hearse.-The French herse means har-
row; hence kind of candlestick in the
form of harrow, having branches filed with
lights and placed at the head of graves or
cenotaphs; whence 'thearse'' came to be used
for the grave, coffin or chest containing the
dead
Roue.-A name applied to profigate or dis
solute persons. It is the French term for
one broken on the wheel, which before the
French Revolution was the punishment for
the highest crimes. The word in its present
sense is said to have originated with Philip
of Orleans, Regent of France.
Bread is the Staff of Life-For the origin
of this proverbialism we mustlook to noless a
source than the Bible. The 'ssweet singer of
Israel" put it in the 104th psalm: sHere is
bread, which strengthens mans heart, and
therefore called the staff of life,''
Cs'The stay and the staff, the whole stay OF
bread, and the whole stay of water. Isaiah
iii. 1.
Mystery.-In ordinary identures of appren-
ticeship the master binds himself to teach
the apprentice his ''art, trade and mysteries.
In this sense the word is probably derived
from the old French mestier, trade or it
may have been corrupted from 'smystery''-
that is, the boy is to be taught until he has
become the master of his craft or business.
Let US Do or Die.-This quotation is found
in s'The Island Princess by Beaumont and
Fletcher; s'Bannockburne, by Burns, and in
Campbelrs Gertrude, Sir Walter Scott in
his 'sReview of Gertrude,' says of the quo
tation in question: 'sThis expression is q
kind of common property, being the motto,
we believe of Scottish family
Honi Soft qui maly Pense.- Evil him who
evil thinks). According to legend, Joan,
Countess of Salisbury, accidentally slipped
her garter at court ball. It was picked up
by her royal partner, Edward Ill, who gal
lantly diverted the attention of the guests
from the lady by binding the blue band
