New York Evening Sun. They were

in the city, and Deacon Smiths shop on
the main street, neat the station, had
been chosen for the meeting this month
for tho sake Of convenience. The

with another glance Of satisfaction
on the benevolent faces that surrounded
him, he softly closed tho door behind

The Force OF Example.

People appear to think that, while
good manners should BIO Enormously ex.
acted from children, precept in this con-
nection may stand instead OF example,
and that orders maybe given them andre
marks made upon them as fthey wercdc-
void of natural feelings and perceptions.
As amat,cr of fact, If. when people want
children to do something for Thorn, they
would ask it in tho same way in which
they would address an equal, II they
would thank them for little services
rendered. speak to them gently. answer
their reasonable questions civilly, and
avoid unnecessary comments upon their
appearance, they would have far less
trouble in teaching them to behave with
like consideration for others.

An Incident That Occurred After the Ba
tie OF Port Hudson.
"Speaking Of General Grants hns
horsemanship," said General N. p.
Banks to . New York Tribune reporter,
ssreminds me OF an Incident that &C.
Cured soon after the battieof Port Hud-
son, in which he gave me the race of my
life. General Grant paid the army
under my command q visit at the period
mentioned and was asked 10 review It.
He brought with him no horses, and I
loaned him for the occasion the mag
nificent bay parade horse which the
patriotic citizens OF Massachusetts pre-
sented to me when I e to the front
in 1862. All Of my old soldiers will re-
member that bay horse. I rode on the
review . thoroughbred black marc, and
/ was in a constant state of anxiety lest
she would run away with me when
warmed up. Well, the troops were
drawn up in line and we rode down the
front lines at . slow pace, but when
we reached the e a lines Grant
would put the bay at his ut
most speed, and as he was near
ly thoroughbred he could run.
Grant a on the bay as II he
was part Of him, but the difficulty I
found myself in was not to keep up at
the regulation distance, but to prevent
my animal from %distanc:ng the General
and running off with me. Grant rode
like q demon and I after him until the
review was finished, the troops In the
meantime watching the scene with In
terest mingled with astonishment. For
some days afterward the troops were
heard discussing the event and, as far
asI can learn, never settled the ques-
ton as to whether it was . horse-race
or a military review"
"Wtile on the subject of horses, CON
tinued the General, s'the two animals
that I took with mo into the field at the
outbreak Of the civil wal survived all of
the campaigns in which l was engaged.
When 1 returned to civil pursuits l took
my horses back to Massachusetts with
me and kept the faithful animals until
they died. The bay horse which l have
mentioned l rarely used except on pa
radc or in an emergency. He was too
valuable to risk his life on tho field OF
battle. l usually rode another bay in
battle, q big, powerful and jealous an
imal. He was wounded on several occa-
sions, but none of the wounds seemed to
be serious enough to incapacitate him
for active service. I rode him at the
battle of Cedar Mountain"

FORESTS LAST BILL.
A Lone Ten-Dollar Note That Proved q
Mascot at Poker.

~ OAO
Speaking of General Forrest, the cav
airy zero Of the war, who killed more
men with his saber than any other one
soldier on either side, the Florida Times
Union says that he returned to Memphis
after the surrender with his wife and
with only a ten-dollar bill in his pocket.
Mrs. Forrest was a lady OF the most
quiet, amiable Christian virtues, and the
only person, by the way, who had any
control of tho s.wizard of the saddle
while in a passion. One touch of her
gentle hand, one soft, tender word,
would calm his most tempestuous moods
in a moment.
Slttlng alone together the night of
their return to Memphis, General For
rest said: MARY, Iknow you are a strict
church member and have always OPP
posed cards. But this ten dollars is all
there is on earth between US and the
poor-liouse. Won't you consent to my
going out tonight and hunting up a
game ofdraw? And won't you pray that
/ may win while 1 am out?'
In vain the good woman protested. 1t
was a sin in the sight of God, she said,
and sin could not finally prosper. He
went, found tho party he wanted and
began the game. Tho cards ran his way
from the first and his winnings grew SO
large that he set his beaver on the floor
beside him and used it as q depository.
About two o'clock in tho morning he
lifted his tile, bent his head down and
placed the hat carefully on it, retaining
the money inside. Reaching his home
he cmpticd his winnings into Mrs. For
rests lap, saying: Mary, count it. .
She found that he had upward Of 81, 500
a sun which gave him a good start in
life after having lost all. 81 believe
said he, relating the incident to some
friends, "tiat Mary, in spite of her OBJ
j%ections, really prayed for me while
was gone. AT any rate l found her still
sitting up when I got back, and know
her prayers have many and many a time
served me a good turn"
