THE CoLoRED SENTINEL.-While
the American army was in camp at
Cambridge, Mass, General Wash
ington heard the colored soldiers
could not be depended upon as
sentries. He determined to aser-
tain the truth or falsity of the re-
port by personal investigation.
So one night when the password
was Cambridge" he went outside
the camp, put on an overcoat, and
then approached colored sentinel.
"Who goes there?" cried the sem
tinel.
"a friend" replied Washington.
Friend, advance unarmed, and
give the countersign," said the col
orcd man.
Washington came up, and said:
"Roxbury."
"No sah," was the response.
"Mcdford," said Washington.
"No sah,' returned the colored
soldier.
"Charlestown," said Washington.

claimcd II tell you, Massa Wash

THE VICTIM.

So this is the end of il all
Passion and love and pride,
His splendid talents and wasted strength,
His beauty and all beside,
And his songs oh, those songs so sad,
That made sweet young eyes weep!
A wasted life and ruined soul
In hospital ward asleep.
And all for woman's sake,
Who flung back his love in scorn;
A diva, whose heart was false as night,
Though her face was fair as morn,
The beautiful inspiration
OF many strain of song.
Whose echoes will haunt her forever
For her cruel deed of wrong.
She is charming all hearts tonight,
Whil0 he in the ward lies dead;
And oh, the grace of her queenly form,
The tawny gold of her head!
And her eyes so star-like and bright,
So soft and passion-laden!
And her voice might an angel thrill,
Though she is SO false maiden.
| Just Once-her voice broke in a thrill.
| A mist DER her eyes is stealing;
| And she sees above all the flowers
And the lights-to her heart revealing
The dying face Of her love
With his sad, sad eyes despairing,
| Hunting her ever in woe or bliss,
Those diving ewes despairinp

EETEUSIASM.

Enthusiasm may be defined as
that hearty zeal, that burning ardor
which characterizes' the pursuit of
any object, be that object an evasive
plug hat, bowled by the gentle
breezes along the boulevard, amid
the jeers of the heartless spectators,
or be it beefsteak to which some
hungry dog has become mysterious
ly fastened, the owner of which
beefsteak lifts up his heels so high
in swift pursuit as to darken the
MONDAY sun. 1t is that peculiar
state or condition Of the mind in
which the feelings are enlisted on
the side of the understanding, and
in which the two work in perfect
concert and with resistless force.
When this state of things exists,
unless the object that is being pur-
sued has got long legs, or good
start, it is sure to be overtaken.
This term has been misundcr-
stood and has been regarded as
synonymous with fanaticism, where
as the two are entirely different,
Surveying the calm and peaceful
waters of a smooth gliding river we
can hardly conceive that il is the
same water that few hours ago
dashed foaming and roaring in a
laundering cataract over the falls
above. But il is the identical same
water being used over second time
For there is no other water in that
vicinity that could be utilized fol
for the purpose. So it is with en-
thusiasm and fanaticism. The one
is benificent angel, suggestive o
white-robed Rebccca at the well, a
a church fair, dispensing colickl1
lemonade at ten cents glass t
sickly dudes, to assist in removing
the mortgage on the tabernacle
The other is a raging demon who's
: rule is madness, and who is as re
gardless of consequences as a run
, away horse.

cannot put in words, sweetheart.
The meaning of each tender kiss,
For silence breathes the truest bliss.
When lip and lip doth meet and part,
Without one echo that doth prove,
Enduring but in realm of love.
There is language of the soul,
So sacred that its soundless tide,
Flows on unknown to all beside
The loved and loving; there's the whole
OF this sweet food, whose ebb and
swell
Bears more Of joy than words can tell.
When absence brims with tenderness
The deepest fountains of the heart.
What but kiss could eer impart-
In moment Of one dear caress-
All that the waiting hours had stored,
For love by other love adored
All, faithful one? 1t was not meant
That fruitage of the heart should lose
From longing mate its precious dues
And so as part of loves intent,
We give and take the same with lips,
So pressed that not sweet o'erdrips.

The boughs are bleak, the wind is cold,
And cold and black the fading sky,
And cold and ghostly, fold on fold,
Across the hills the vapor lie.
Sad is my heart and him mine eye
With thoughts ofall the woes that were,
And all that through the forward year,
Prophetic, fit like phantom by.
But in the cherries silence, bark,
Some throstle's vesper! loud and clear,
Beside his mate hear him sing;
And sudden at my feet mark

but we want more Cash and
less Goods, and have determined
to make a great effort to turn
them into CASH. In taking an
account of stock (Which we do
every six months) we examine
everything car; fully, and any
goods that have not sold we re-
mark away down, so as to in

lievc in carrying goods from
one season to another, but pre-
fer to sell them, even at a loss,
so as to turn them into Cash.
We prefer to give our custom
ers the discount rather than to
pay interest o. money to carry
them, which many do. The
greatest lever we use to make
! low prices, is the ready Cash.
We tell you it will do wonders,
, and we have found it out some
time ago. Now, you know, we
