and Commander Jacob Gray, Of

proceeded to the dancing pavilion
and marched around At . lively
pace. to the inspiring strains Of the
celebrated Continental Guards
band. The veterans and their
guests then proceeded to enjoy
themselves in various ways. dane
ing, promeuading through the piny
woods. whiting the Springs. etc.
The sack and horse races in the
evening afforded pleasure and
amoseme to many. but the pa
vilion seemed to be the principal
attraction for . large majority,
aud it was thronged with merry
dsocers ell day. At the close .
stag dance" was given by the
members Of tho Army of Northern
Virginia aud Graud Army Of the
Republic. aud amid the cheers of
tie spectators. the battle-scared

What is Luck.

A philosophical definition of luck is given
by an English writer as a capability of being
incapable. THE first Rothschild was prob
ably right, from his point Of view, when he
said that he never would employ an unlucky
man. On the other hand, the lucky man is
usually the man who fits his fortune; who,
whether apparently able or stupid, can do
just what his especial circumstances require
him to do. Verr stupid men are often ready
men, armed with a readiness as of dogs when
they twist from under cartwheel uuhurt.
The fool who makes a fortune is usually
man with just the foresight, or the just
judgm, mt, or the intuitlve perception Of the
way things are going, a faculty like long
sight or keen hearing, and independent OF ill.,
tellectual power, requisite to make large
profits quickly. In fact, the fortunate man
is usually the man who, in consequence OF
some hidden quality in his nature, deserves
fortune
