AnecdOte of the War.

After the advance of our army
upon Bragg at Tullahoma, and his
retreat, the pioneer brigade pushed
on to Elk river to repair a bridge.
While one of its men, a private,
was bathing in the river, five of
Bragg's men, guns in hand, came
to the bank and took aim at the
swimmer, one of them shouting !:
Come here you Yank, out of the
we'll"
The Federal was quite sure that
he was "done for" and he at once
obeyed. After dressing himself he
was thus accosted:
"You surrender, our prisoner, do
your"
"Of course l do"
"That's kind. Now, we'll sur
render to you" And the five stack
ed their arms before him, their
spokesman adding:
"We've done with 'em, and have
said to old Bragg 'good-byp Sesesh
is played out. Now, you surround
US and take US to your camp"
This was done accordingly.

Never Swear.

1. 1t is mean. A boy of high
moral standing would almost as
soon steal sheep as swear.
2. 1t is vulgar- altogether too
low for decent boy.
3. 1t is co,oardiy-implying fear
of not being believed or obeyed.
4. 1t is ungentlemanly. A gentle
man, according to Webster, is a
genteet m,an-well-bred. refined.
Such one will no more swear than
60 into the street to throw mud
with a chimney-sweep.
5. 1t is sndecent-offensive to deli
cacy, and extremely unfit for human
ears.
6. 1t is foolish. "Want of decency
is want of sense"
7. 1t is abatsiue-to the mind
which conceives the oath, to the
tongue which utters it, and to the
person at whom it is aimed.
8, 1t is uenomous-showing a
boys heart to be a nest of vipers
and every time he swears, one of
them sticks out his head.
9. 1t is contemptible-torfeiting
the respect of all the wise and good.
10. 1t is misunderstanding the
divine law, and provoking the
displeasure of Him who will not
hold him guiltless who takes His
name in vain.

Captain MiIburn's Prayer for
Temperance.

ooh, God," prayed the chaplain
of the U. s. House of Representa-
tives the other morning, answer,
we beseech Thee, the applications
of millions of hearts ascending to
Thee for the speedy close of that
greatest evil of modern society
drunkenness. Linked with almost
every vice and crime in a loath-
some compact with gaming houses
and brothels, it burdens the crimi-
nal dockets of courts of justice,
throngs the poorhouses, madhous-
es, jails and gibbets: drives men to
despair through the snake-w.eath
ed portals of delirium tremens IN
bars the posterns of life that they
may sink into the eowardly grave
of suicide. Beginning most often
in an alluring taste in the jocund
bond of good fellowship, it becomes
an appetite and master passion,
which destroys the body, darkens
the intellect, blinds the moral
sense, deadens the soul, drives God
out of mans spirit and paralyzing
the will, binds men and women
hand and foot and casts them into
hell, leaving an entail of despair
and wretchedness to their children"

Christian Graces.

A sweet temper, an earnest spirit,
and faithful work, will make the
weakest and humblest member of
the church an instrumentality for
good to those about him. Without
these elements, even natural
genius will be failure, and even a
curse, in society. Talents do not
determine usefulness, but faithful
ness ia the use of the blessings and
help of God does. If you lack the
sweet temper, earnest spirit, and
disposition to do faithful work for
the Master, 60 to God, and ask Him
to fill your soul with the love of
Him who gave His life for the
world, and then go forth in his
name to do your best 20 be like

THE CONQUERED BANNER.

III 4 CONQ U EhED BANNER,
Furl the Banner, for tits weary;
Round its staff it's dropping dreary;.
Furl it, fold it, it is best;
For there's not man to wave it,
And there's not one left to lave it
In the blood which heroes gave it;
And it's foes now scorn and brave it;
Furl it, hide it-let it rest.
Take that Banner DOWN. lis tattered;
Broken in its staff and shattered;
And the valiant hosts are scattered,
over whom it ioated high.
Oh, tits hard for US to fold it;
Hard to think there's none to hold it;
Hard that those who once unrolled it
Now must furl it with a sigh.
Furl that Banner! furl it sadly!
Once ten thousands hailed it gladly,
And ten thousands wildly, madly,
Swore it should forever wave;
Swore that foeman's sword should never
Hearts like theirs entwined discover,
TILL that flag should float forever,
Ger their freedom and their grave!
Furl it for the hands that grasped it,
And the hearts that fond1y clasped it,
Cold and dead are lying now;
And that Banner-it is trailing!
While around 1t sounds the wailing
OF its people in their woe.
For though conquered they adore it!
Love the cold, dead hands that bore it!
Weep for those who fell before it!
Pardon those who trailed and tore it!
But, Oh wildly they deplore it,
Now who furl and fold it so!
Furl that Banner! True tits CORY,
Yet tits wreathed around with glory.
1t will live in song and story,
Though its folds are in the dust;
For its fame on brightest pages,
Penned by poets and by sages,
Shall go sounding down the ages
Furl its folds though now we must.
Furl that Banner, softly, slowly!
Treat it gently-it is holy
For it droops above the dead,
Touch 1t not-unfold 1T never,
Let it droop there, furled forever,
For it's peoples hopes are dead!
