Drinking A Tear.

The passionate Hebrew metaphor
of the beverage of tears, found in sew
eral places in the Psalms, is seldom
fulfilled literally. But here an affect.
ing instance in real life Illustrates the
sad truth that few peoplein this world
can do evil without making Others
weep. The scene is copied from the
Arkansas Traveller:
"Boys, won't drink without you
take what do" said old Josh Split,
in reply to an invitation. He was a
topper of long standing and abundant
capacity, and the boys looked at him
with astonishment.
'"The idea," one of them replied,
''that you should prescribe conditions
is laughable. Perhaps you want to
force one of your abominable mix
lures down us. You are the chief of
mixed drinkers, and I won't agree to
your conditions"
"He wants us to run in castor oil
and brandy" said the Judge, who
would have taken the oil to get the
brandy.
"No, Pm square. Take my drink,
and Pm with you"
The boys agreed, and stood along
the bar. All turned to Split, and
looked at him with interest.
"Mr. Bartender" said he, "give me
glass of water"
"What? Water!"

pect. Several days ago, as a parcel OF

joke cause they'd left me out there
drunk; and told it round the town
with mighty bluster. My son got
hold of the report and told itat home.
Well, lay under that tree all night.
and when woke in the morning. my
wife sot thar side of me. She said
nothin' when 1 woke up, but sorter
she was chokin.'

says I. Then she took cup wot she
had fotched with her, and went up to
whar a spring cum up, and dipped up
a cupful and fotched it tume Jest as
she was handin' it to me, she leant
over to hide her-eyes; and [ saw tear

cup and drank, and raisin' my hands,

tears again, as I had been doin' for
the last twenty years, and that I was
going to stop. You boys know who it
was that left me. You was all in the
gang.

The Seven Days Fight.

The seven days fighting, although a
decided confederate victory, was a
succession of mishaps. If Jackson
had arrived on the 26th-the day of
his own selection the federals would
have been driven back from Mechanics
Vile without battle. His delay there,
caused by distractions placed in his
road by the enemy, was his first mis-
hap. He was too late in entering the
fight at Gaines mill, and the destruc-
ton of Grapevine bridge kept him
from reaching Frayser's farm until
the day after the battle. If he had
been there, we might have destroyed
or captured McClellan's army. Huger
was in position for the battle of Fray
ser's farm, and after his batteries had
misled me into opening the fight he
subsidized. Holmes and Magruder, who
were on the New Market road to at
tack the federals as they passed that
way, failed to do SO.
Gen. McClellan's retreat was Sue
cessfully managed; therefore, we must
give it credit for being well managed.
He had 115, 900 men, and insisted to
the authorities at Washington that Lee
had 100000. In fact Lee had only
sc. 900. Gen. McClellan's plan to take
Richmond by siege was wise enough.
and it would have been a success If
the confederates had consented to such
a programme. In spite of McClel!an's
excellen, plans, Gen. Lee, with a force
inferior in numbers, completely routed
him, and while suffering less than
Mcclellan, captured over 19. 900 of his
men. Gen. Lees plans in the seven
days days tight were excellent, but were
poorly Executed: Gen. Mcclellan was
a very accomplished soldier and
very able engineer, but hardly equal
TO the position of field-marshal as
military chieftain. He organized the
Army of the Potomac cleverly, but did
not handle it skillfully when in actual
battle. Still I doubt if his retreat
could have been better handled, though
more positively either in his OWL
hands or in the hands of Sumner

Castrating Lambs.

An English fockmaster says he pre-
fers to castrate when the lambs are
about month old, because when treat
ed in this way they become fuller in the
leg and more feshy in the back
as they grow up. This is an important
consideration, as it gives a more valu-
able leg of mutton for roasting or boil
ing, and fuller, more tender and juicy
saddle. He also keeps his nursing ewes
in rather high condition, contending
that fat dams make fat lambs. Thus
treated, the ewes not only give larger
quantity of milk for their offspring, but
it is also of a more nourishing quality.
This renders the treatment better all
arnnnd
