How to Select a Boy.

A gentleman advertised for boy, and
nearly fifty applicants presented them
selves to him. Out of the whole number
he selected one and dismissed the rest
should like to know" said friend +,
on what ground you selected that boy,
who had not single recommendation.
You are mistaken" said the gentle
man; he has great many. He wiped
his feet when he came in, and closed the
door after him, showing that he was care.
full. He gave his seat instantly to that
lame old man, showing that he was
thoughtful. He took off his cap when
he came in, and answered my questions
promptly, showing that he was gentle
manly. He picked up the book which 1
had purposely laid on the floor and re-
placed it upon the table; and he waited
quietly for his turn, instead of pushing
and crowding, showing that he was hon
orable and orderly. When talked to
him noticed thathis clothes were brush
ed, his hair in order; when he wrote his
name noticed that his finger nails were

would give mare for what can tell about

determine boys whole career. 1t is
the boy who does the kind, polite, and
thoughtful acts unconsciously that wins
his way TO employment and success. And
success does not mean wealth and fame
A man is valued according to his faith
fulness and reliability, and these chiefly
determine the measure of his true useful

The Gentle South Wind.

Now, Walter Harrison Anes, you

for that's my seat, and l want to sit
there :" and little Miss Rose, who looked
more like snapdragon just then, tried to
shake her sturdy brother, who had
very cool way Of pretending not to hear
when he did not mean to heed, and who
sat as calmly looking out OF the window
as if only fly were attempting to move
him.
Papa was reading at the other win
dow, but he seemed to know exactly
what was going on, and so he called the
little snapdrsgon, though he did not use
that name, to come to him, as he had
story to tell her.
A story was always delight, and SO
the little changeable flower, almost a
rose again, went instantly and seated
herself on little bench at his feet.

l laughed at the idea of obeying such a
command as that, and 80 lust buttoned

For seven years I suffered with cancer on

to alleviate the pain, but the place continued to

strongly recommended the use of Swifts Specific

it. In this [ was successful, and began its use

Turtles Eggs.

When little Gertie and Ruth were at
their grandma 6 in the country last sum-
mer, they saw something that they never
saw before. What do you think it was
l dom suppose you could guess if you
tried week, so [ will tell you One
day their Uncle Peter came In with
lot of small, round, white eggs, little
larger than the pretty glass marbles you
have to play with He had them in his
hat, and called to the little girls to come
and see them. They dropped their tins
for they were making mud pies-and
started for their uncle. They looked at
the small white eggs, and wondered what
kind of eggs they were.
These are turtles eggs, said Uncle
Peter.
Was the old turtle on the nest when
you found them p asked the children.
At this question he was very much
amused, and you ought to have seen how
astonished they looked when he told
them that his hired man had ploughed
them out of the soft earth, back of the
barn, not far from the creek.
Uncle Peter broke one of the eggs, and
in it was little turtle, perfect even to the
house on its back" There were fifty
six eggs in all. Only think, if the eggs
had not been disturbed what a band OF
little turtles would have found their way
to the creek
The mother turtle scoops out with her
hind feet hollow in the sand or dry
earth, in which she lays her eggs, and
the heat Of the sand or earth matches
them. She never gives herself any trou-
bic about her children, and they take
care of themselves as soon as they come
out of the sand. The childrens uncle
told them of the different varieties Of
turtles, and that some Of them were used
for food.
They listened with the closest atten.

Two incidents Of Gettysburg.

To THE EDITOR: At the battle of Gettys-
burg, on the Sd of July, in the evening after
the fight went on the picket-line in front TO
the left of Little Round Top, and staid all night
on the skirmish- line. On the following morn
ing saw lots Of dead Johnnies sitting up with
their backs against the rocks towards our lines.
Among them / noticed wounded soldier Of
one of the Texas regiments-a German. He
showed me one of their sharpshooters who was
killed by the Pennsylvania Bucktails the even
ing before for shooting Sergeant Of the 40th
N. Y, whom he had called to carry away q
wounded rebel, whose cries annoyed him. The
Texas soldier said that the sharpshooter got his
dues Our men came with stretchers to take
all the wounded back to our hospital while
was there on July at daybreak. l found 8
young man belonging to my brigade, who had
been lying there since the first days fight. He
was stripped naked and rolled in blanket,
and to all appearance dead. felt him, and he

Youngest Generals.

To THE EDITOR: Speaking Of tie youngest
Generals in service during the rebellion, l re-
spcctfully refer TIE NATIONAL TRIBUNE to
the record Of Gen. G. T. Bartlett, promoted
from Colonel OF the 57th Mass, Ninth Corps, at
the age of "a years. But tho youngest Briga-
der, believe, in the service was Con. Stahl, a
Prussian, who at the time of the review of
Hooker's old division, near Alexandria, Va, in
1862 was said then to be only 81 years Of age.
I was there, and he to me looked like boy of
10. But the war record will show, If looked
up Gen. Bartlett at the time of his promotion
In 1864 had lost leg snd the use of his left
arm; was wounded again in the head at the
battle of the Mine, near Petersburg, Va, July
so, 1864, and taken prisoner with your humble
servant. The General had lost the use of his
artificial Leg which reached above the knee, by
a fragment of shell on that day, and was car
ried by your correspondent to Gen. Mahone's
tent, and both of us paroled for three days.
Gen. Bartlett was sent to Richmond and ex-
changed for rebel Brigadier, and to Florence
Prison pen, where / suffered the torbures of
sheol for seven months, and came out wreck
from starvation, scurvy and other kindred dis
eases; was honorably discharged ut the United
States Army Hospital June 0, 1865. Gen. Bart
lett afterward became Military Governor of
Virginia, and died about eight years ago. 1
was appointed on his staff on the day of the
battle.-BENJAMIN A. SPEAR, Co. X {Sharp-

How the Sd Wis. Got Soft Bread.

To THE EDITOR: It was In the Fall Of 1852,
after the battle of Antietam, that We were
camping on what was called Maryland flights.
A part of our regiment was doing picket duty
at Sharpsburg. Part of US were off post and
looking to the comforts of No. l. when, after
dusk, a covered wagon drove up to the only
tavern. The man tied his team and went in
to see about lodgings over night, as he proba-
bly, intended to go to our camp in the morning.
AS soon as he was inside we were bound to
know (as soldiers always were) what the wagon
contained, and what do you suppose-a load of
soft bread! Could anything have had more
temptation for US than wagon load of soft
bread? l will leave that question for the old
vets to answer. Enough, the point of attack
was soon planned; one man was sent into the
tavern to act as spy, one flung open the end
gate, jumped in and handed the spells out, the
rest hiding it in alley-ways and around the
house corners until everything was quiet, when
knapsacks and haversacks were packed, and as
luck would have it, the capture was accom-
plished without firing a gun and before the
owner Of the bread knew anything about hav-
ing the trouble Of selling his bread saved. We
had soft bread for over a week, but how the
owner felt about it On finding out his loss l
never heard. would like to know if any one
of the old boys is yet living who helped to
unload.-AUG. PoMRANKE, Co. B, Sd Wis,

The 9th n. Y. Car.

To THE EDITOR: The 9th N. Y. Cav,
commonly known by the Confederates as
the Bloody 9Th" was organized at Westfeld,
Chautauqua Co., N. Y, in the year 1861,
and, according to the best recollections of
the writer, numbered about 1900. After
the great cavalry charge at Brandy Sta
ton. on the Orange & Alexandria Railroad,
their number for duty was $50. Six men for
duty in Co. ID, not including those that were On
picket. The regiment participated in the most
of the hard fought battles of the Army of the
Potomac, notably Charlottesville, Wilder
ness, Cold Harbor, Gettysburg. Brandy Station,
Cedar Creek, Dehlgren's raid, and others too
numerous to mention, and through long and
tOilsome marches after Mosby's and Whites
commands. The writer has in his possession a
daguerreotype of middle aged lady, which he
picked up in the Shenandoah Valley, between
strasburg and Winchester, on the main pike,
and he would take pleasure In returning to the
rishtful owner if he be living.-C. B. BECK
