THE FAITHFUL SOLDIER,
Or the Influence of Good wife.

Mrs. Bryan in the Sammy South narrates
the following story on no lesss authority
than that of Gen. John b. Gordon. 1t &C.
Cured in the later years of the war when
the edge of enthusiastic patriotism
had worn away. A soldier in the Vir-
ginia army heard, through a letter re-
ceived by a cOmrade, that his family were
in great distress through sickness and
restitution. He applied for leave to go
home, but could not obtain it. He laid
his petition before thehighest authority
and represented his case with desperate
eloquence, but a battle was impending,
every man was wanted at the front, and
his prayer was refused. Then he went
without leave. He stole from the COM
mand and reached home, after weary
tramping night and day. When he
entered his cottage it was night, his
children slept, but his wife sat by the
hearth. She sprang to meet him and
chung to him, sobbing for joy.
'And you got a furlough after ALL
was so afraid"
He shook his head.
''YOu did not desert surely. You would
not, John?"
"Could / know the fix you and the
children were in and not come to help
your" he answered, dOggedly.
Then she thew her arms about him and
begged him to return at ence. She and
the children could get along. If they
suffered, why anything was better than
he should stain himself with dishOnor.
Her strong sense of right prevailed.
Though he knew that to return after
desertion meant court-martial and pro-
badly death, he went back. He was
tried and condemned to be shot. The
sentence would surely have been carried
into effect but for the Intervention of Gen.
Gordon. That kind-hearted officer sought
him out, heard his story and used his
influence to obtain a pardon for the con-
demned man. A few days later the battle
of Seven Pines took place. Near the close
of that terrible fight Gen. Gordon was
near a battery which had done gallant
execution, but was now all but disabled.
The men and horses belonging to it lay
dead or dying. Only one man stood at
the guns when the General rode up. His
face was blackened with gunpowder,
blood poured from a deep wound in his
side, but he was loading his gun with his
last strength. He rammed down the
charge, applied the match, and as the bal
sped on its errand, he dropped down dy
ing.
"Don't you know me, GeneralP he
said, as Gen. Gordon paused beside him.
| struck with admiration and pity. II am
the man you saved from being shot; the
man with such good wife. Write a line
to her, please General, and tell her l died
faithful soldier, because of her."

COST oFLIvING IN CHINA.
A Land Where a Boarding House
Keeper Wouldn't Make a Fortune.

A Land Where a Boarding House
Keeper Wouldn't Make a Fortune.
Good, plain, substantial eatables are
wonderfully cheap in China, while such
dainty luxuries as birds nest soup.
sharks inns and beche de mer would soon
swallow up a fortune. Ten cents day
would provide a man and wife with two
fair meals of rice, salt-fsh and Yege-
tables, with a cup of congOn to wash it
down. i once knew a poor hawker who
made four cents a day and managed to
subsist on two cents worth Of food, the
other two cents being put by for reno and
clothes. 1 have seen eight or ten persons
messing together on two meals day, con-
sisting of two kinds of meat and vegeta-
bles, besides rice and tea, all for the sum
Of 81 % each per month. A dinner of
dog or cat meat is not so cheap as some
people may imagine. In Canton there
are numbers of restaurants where canine
and feline domestic animals are slaugh-
tered, dressed and cooked for the table.
The animals are either strangled or bled
to death, after which the carcass is
placed in a vessel Of boiling water and
then stripped of the fur or hair. When
dressed and cleaused they are hung out
side the door as an advertisement. Inside
the shop the animals are being cut up
and the slices fried in garlic and oil. The
price Of dish of black-dog or cat meats
is from 10 to 10 cents, a price which poor
persons could i'll afford. Shantuag i'm
ports large quantities of cured dog hams,
which are said to be Of excellent flavor.
Frog curry is a great dish at foreigners
table in Canton, but rats, puppies and
pussies are not so generally appreciated
by the residents in s'Far CathaY.n

How webster Saw the sea-serpent.

B. NJ. W tells me that he learns
from pretty good authority that Webster
once saw the sea-serpent. 1t seems 1t
was first seen in the bay between Manomet
and Plymouth beach by perfectly rella-
bic witness (many years ago., who was
accustomed to look out on the sea with
his glass every morning the first thing, as
regularly as he ate his breakfast. One
morning he saw this monster, with head
somewhat like horses, raised some SIX
feet above the water, and his body, the
size of a cask, trailing behind. he was
caIeering over the bay, chasing the mack
erel, which ran ashore in their fright, and
were washed up and died in great num-
bers.
The story is that Webster had appointed
to meet some Plymouth gentlemen at
Manomet and spend the day fishing with
them. After the fishing was over he set
out to return to Duxbury in his sallboat
with Peterson, as be had come, and on the
way they saw the sea-serpent, which
answered to the common account of this
creature. 1t passed directly across the
bows only six or seven rods of, and then
disappeared. On the sail homeward,
Webster, having had time to reflect on
what had occurred, at length said to
Peterson: ssFor Gods sake, never say a
word about this to any one; for If 1t should
be known that have seen the sea sea-ser-
pent, should never hear the last OF 1t,
but wherever / went should have to tell
the story to every one met" 80 1t has
not leaked out till now.

A Polite Father.
an he Year Round.


Louis XIV, like most people, had his
moments of forgetfulness, and frequently
embarrassed his courtiers by uncon-
sciously asking them questions to which
they had already replied. One morning
while at his toilet, turning to a lord-in-
waiting, he inquired how many children
he had.
ssFour, sire,'' was the answer.
In the course OF the day, addressing the
same individual, he repeated the question
and received a similar reply. Even this
did not satisfy him, and when the evening
came. and with it the usual game of "bre-
Ian. , he once more commenced his inter-
rogatory, which was this time responded
to by:
''Six, your Majesty"
SHOW is thats'' said the King, t1you
told me this morning that you had only
four"
$50 1 did, Sire" stammered out the
courtier, "and it was the truth; but | was
afraid Of wearying your Majesty by al
ways telling you the same thing"
