Reversal.

One set himself the task to scale the wall,
And plant the colors on the topmost height
Swift pulse, that daring deed did none appal,
Like hound in leash fell back in bafiled plight
The captains word his aspiration barred
'Soldier! Twill thou tarry here on guard
One said, while burning low the midnight oil,
And scanning wearily the lettered page,
81 shall amass such wisdom by my toll,
Men will award me empire for my wage"
The swaying crowd its martial hero found
just caught his bugle's note, and straightway
crowned.
Another stood, with sickle keen in hand,
And said, 81 to the harvest-felu win HE.
My place is with the reapers' goodly band,
And none shall garner in more sheaves than l."
But ardor high not sturdy strength can yield
He cleaned behind the reapers in the field
One said, 81 will like St. Cecilia, sing
In strains so sweet that angels shall attend.
After long years of training, win bring
My benison of song, and earth befriend.''
To honest love her heart made fond reply:
She sang beside his hearth, a lullaby.
And all is well; for they have equal praise
Who scale the wall, or faithful stand on guard
Who toiled in vain for earths poor, transient bays
Finds spiritual empire high reward.
| The careful cleaners store was wholly grain,
| And angels list the mothers low refrain.

"ARMY LIFE. This ls the sub
iect Of Rev. Clough's lecture at the

evening, which will be the last
lecture Of the course. We are un-
able to speak in advance of its
merits, but from what we know Of
the abilities Of the reverend gentle
man we are confident that il will

told. Every soldier in the place
should attend, ms also should the

uon and heartily eujoyed by all

Chronicie.
The lecture delivered at the NJ, f..
church, on last Friday night, by Rev.
L. +. Clougb, on the subject Of
"Army Life" was one Of very great
interest, and highly appreciated by
the audience. The scenes Of army
life were 30 yIyidly pictured, that
all those who had been favored with
tho opportunity Of getting into the
army, during the exciting days of
the rebellion, could plainly sec tie
burnt beans in the old camp kettles
and the worm that dieth not " in
the old "B. c." hard-tack. Very
many amusing incidents Of army
life were related by the speaker
which brought back the great army
Of twenty years ago in panoramic
view to the soldiers who were pres.
ent. When the speaker approached
the sentimental view Of army life,
we could not resist the thought that
il is an easy matter for human pas
sions to wrap the human judgment,
and cause us to leap over the bonds
Of reason and recklessly incur the
consequences. The
speaker interspersed his lecture with
alternate scenes Of the humorous
and pathetic, which made it most
and enjoyable, and was
satisfactory to the lecture

To NV Little Friends of Jackson.

It is a good thing to be a native
Buckeye. Ohio men get into all the
large offices in Washington City; they
win in Presidential races; and they
are generally very intelligent. And
here, in Louisville, take some pride
in pointing to our big river and say
ing: "That IS the Ohio" 1t is like
the Ohio politicians, for it sweeps ev-
erything before it.
I hope Ohio will soon become a
great cold water State. That the ef-
forts Of the editors of the Standard
and others, who are doing such good
work for temperance, may be success
full in establishing Prohibition.
The food has been quite destruc-
tive. A thousand families have been
driven from their homes in this city
alone. The people seem to take it in
good humor | met little boy this
morning, and said: "Well, Nick, l
heard you have been washed out. Did
you save all your furniture?" He
said, mo; we got part Of it moved
into an old church. but lost all our
bedding. We have to sleep on our
chairs now" [ should think they
would fall OF; don't you?
Ii the river raises five feet higher
there will be plenty Of boat riding
for all of us; for large part of the
city will be flooded. But that cannot
occur, as the lowlands of Indiana will
carry off the water. I presume by to-
night we will be entirely surrounded
by water-and | think Bro. Kinnison
would call that an island
We are living far above flood height,
and are in no danger-and, in fact, l
am not half so much troubled about
the water, as about the whisky. That
does infinitely more damage than all
the floods. These floods bring a har-
vest to the laboring classes, who
charge from 25c. to SOC. an hour for
their labor, and don't work very hard
at that. The flood is bonanza" FOR
some Of them. Still, it is hard to be
driven from ones home, and be forced
to camp in church, or tobacco ware
house.
Hoping each one Of you will secure
a valentine, [ remain,

A Queens Opinion.

What a peculiar feeling is exper-
fenced by Americans the first time
they gaze upon royalty. Here, in this
free country, where every citizen is
king and every mother is a queen, a
peep at royalty or titled princes and
potentates does not come very often.
Morbid curiousity often leads our citi-
zens to act in a manner unbecoming
their high estate. Peruna is fast max
ing its way throdg ghout the land and
is becoming known. Everywhere that
it is used by the sick and afflicted, it
makes wonderful cures, and is given
all the praise for its good work.
J. NJ. Queen writes from Johns
town, W. Va, that he has been sorely
afflicted for several years, but he was
urged to try Peruna, which he did,
and he now feels that he is about over
his trouble, and considers it the great
est medicine in the world. He says
he has to go or send distance of fif-
teen miles to obtain Peruna, but it
will repay him for this. Ask for it at
the nearest drug store.
