Two revolyers were levelled upon them,
and they were told to keep still, or they
would fire. A demand was then made to
know where the money Was kept. and
they were told that but small SUN was
in the house, to which they were di>
rected, amounting to about 500. APP
parently not satisfied with this, the
leader wanted to resoIt to torture of the
old people, to compel them to disclose
the hiding place of other money, but
one of the gang objected. The robbers
were masked with black masks. and one
of them was a low, heavy set man, the
others above the medium height. On
departing, they threatened death to the
Cogans if they came to the door after
they had left.

TRADES FOR AMERICAN BOYS,

The trades in our country, of late
years, have been almost monopolized
by foreigners. The American boy,
however, when he does take a trade,
goes straight on to the top of the lad
der. 1t seems as if our boys would
rather be fourth-rate lawyers or ply
sicians, than earn their living by work
ing with their hands. Only the other
day read in New York newspaper
of a young lawyers in city, whom l
knew some years ago when | resided
in that section of the country, who lit
orally starved to death. He made
scarcely any money, was too proud to
tell of his want, lived as long as he
could on crackers and water, and was
found one day in his office, dead from
lack of nourishment. He should never
have entered the legal profession, for
he had no ability in that direction.
AS farmer or a mechanic he might
have lived long, useful and success
full life.
No boy, of course, should enter a
trade unless he feels himself fitted for !;
but, on the other hand, he should not.
it seems to me, let the false pride
against manual labor, which now pre-
walls to such wide extent in our
country, prevent him from endeavor-
ing to do better work with his hands
than in his utmost thoughts he knows
that he can do with his head, From
"Ready for Business" by George j.
Manson, IN ST. Nicholas for August.

noticed long-haired man walking
around my place in a very queer way.
| asked him what he was doing, and
he said:
"Well, farmer, there's buried
treasure under your farm, and I've
been trying to locate the best place to
dig for it. I've found the place and
now I'll make bargain with you
You do the digging and we'll divide
the treasure equally between us"
| agreed and went to digging where

laughed at me and called the man &

man you youngsters judge by ap

THE FIRST CONFEDERATE BATTLE
FLAGS.

From Mrs. Burton Harrison's Recol
lections of Virginia Girl in the First
Year of the War, we quote the follow
ing:
"Another incident of note, in per.
sonal experience during the autumn Of
81, was that to two of my cousins and
to ME was instructed the making Of the
first three battle.fags of the Confed-
eracy, directly after Congress had de-
cided upon a design for them. They
were jaunty squares of scarlet crossed
with dark blue, the cross bearing stars
to indicate the number of the seeding
states. We set our best stitches on
them, edged them with golden fringes,
and when they were finished dispatched
one to Johnston, another to Beaure-
gard, and the third to Earl Van Dorm
the latter afterwards dashing cav
airy leader, but then commanding
infantry at Manassas. The banners
We're received with all the enthusiasm
we could have hoped for; were toast
ed, feted, cheered abundantly. After
two years, when Van Dorm had been
killed in Tennessee, mine came back to
me, tattered and smoke stained from
long and honorable service in the field.
But it was only little while after it
had been bestowed that there arrived
one day at our lodgings in Culppeper, a
huge, bashful Mississippi scout,-one
of the most daring in the army,-with
the frame of Hercules and the face
of a child. He was hidden to come
there by his general, he said, to ask if
| would not give him an order to fetch
some cherished object from my dear
old home-something that would prove
to me how much they thought of the
maker of that flag! After some hest
tation l acquiesced, although thinking
it jest. A week later was the as
tonished recipient of lamented bit of
finery left within the lines, wrap of
of white and azure, brought to US by
Dillon himself, with beaming face.
He had gone through the Union pick
cts mounted on load of fire wood, and
while peddling poultry had presented
himself at our town house, whence he
carried off his prize in triumph, with
letter in M folds telling us how rela-
tives left behind longed to be sharing
the joys and sorrows of those at large
in the Confederacy.
