A surly looking man was s~kulking past
Texas Siftinss office, in Austin. The most
peculiar feature of his ragged attire was a
straw hat that had no crown and very little
brim to it. Old Nose, who was standing on
the sidewalk, snickered right out. The sulky
darkey cIutched his stick, and walking up to
old Nose, asked in laundering tones:

and the old man put his hand in his pocket,
aud closed ono eye, as if he was going to aim
at something.
Perhaps hits my clothes you is smilin'
about, said the would-be colored Ben Thomp-
son, in II lower tone of voice.

directed upon this portion, together with
the terrible musketry FIRE which
was opened upon these troops was more
than could be borne up under without too
great a sacrifice oflife and the order came
to fall back. Great confusion followed,
SO that when the order came to halt it was
impossible at first to check the tide which
was pouring rapidly to the rear. 4 color
or bearer climbed up on the trunk of an
~upturned tree and swung the old flag
back and forth as a signal to halt and to
rally. This had the desired effect and
the whole division was soon reformed
again as before-Hancock on the right,
Brooks in the centre and Davidson on the
left Order was restored but this was
not enough. The hill must be retaken or
the day was lost to the Union army.
While the line was still partly inclined to
waver and while it was apparent that it
would be extremely difficult to re-
possess the hill, Lieutenant Colonel
Wheelock G. Veasey, then in command
of the Third Vermont regiment passsd
down the line and found lying on the
ground, a bible, which he picked up and

herd which many years ago was imported
by the government to act as beasts of burden

They served tho purpose well, bnt were

demands of the drivers OF pack-trains of

An Able sermon which Suggests a Re-

Warn, Food for Poultry.

Those who are anxious to do all they
can to minister to the wants of their
fowls, and thus induce them to shell
out eggs during the cold wintry
months when eggs are fearfully and
wonderfully scarce, will do well to
warm the food before giving it to the
poultry, no matter whether the food be
a soft, mixed mass or made up entirely
of whole grain. 1t is not much trouble
to do this for an average sized flock of
fowls, for the food can be put in pan
and set in the oven of the stove for a
short time. If the grain does get little
brown it will do no harm, but care
should be taken not to feed it while it is
too hot, else injury may result. If the
mass is comfortably warm to the feed
er's hand it may be safely fed to the
fowls, but hotter than that it is danger
Gus to feed it. On cold winters morn
ing it is quite sight to see with what
eagerness and keen relish fowls will de-
YOUR the warm feed. In connection
with warm, comfortable quarters, warm
food is one of the greatest aids to win
ter egg production that we can name,
and a trial will soon convince the
doubling ones of the efficacy of warm
food for poultry in cold weather.

On London B',idge.

The sun fairly up, who shall describe
the scene which Immediately ensues
upon a London bridge? The rafting
and rumbling and laundering of teams.
light and heavy, grows in volume and
ear-splitting din with every moment
that passes. Two currents of stream
ing humanity, equally divided by the
road way, and occupying the two sides
of the bridge, pour increasingly over its
surface and empty constantly into the
great sea, which is never full, beyond.
As the hour for opening business and
working operations approaches, faster
and more noisily flows the stream, I'M
til the torrents rush on, remorselessly,
unheeding, overwhelmingly. Counter
currents are like special trains upon a
railroad-they have no right of way,
and must present no obstacles to the
regular, customary movements. Loiter-
ers and intruders and interlopers are of
small account, and have few respected
rights. A block here and now, from
any cause, over six feet of space, would
instantly influence the conduct of thou
sands of people in the vicinity. Long
continued, it would result in something
like panic; but it seldom occurs or is
allowed to take place. Henceforth,
until long after the suns setting, there
will be no cessation of the surging of
the human tide.
