REeUkEo BY JACKSON.

How the Southern General Taught Ono
of His COlonels Valuable Lesson.
An old soldier at the Capitol told this
story of Stonewall Jackson:
1t was during his valley campaign, and
battle was expected within day or
two, though Jackson's plans were so
carefully guarded that not even his
Adjutant could guess them intelligently.
This self-reliance was characteristic of
jackson, and his aversion to telling his
plans was we'll known among his officers
and men. In fact, it was his policy to
surprise his own men no less than to
surprise the enemy.
General jackson was one of the group
of officers, and another of the group was
Georgia Colonel who is still living.
Conversation was dragging. Jackson
was thoughtful and had little to say,
and the effect was dampening. Finally,
just to revive the conversation, the
Georgia Colonel asked abruptly:
General, will we have fight to-
morrow"
Every body knew in an instant that
the blunder was irreparable, and nobody
realized this more than the Colonel.

full in the speakers face. Then he
slowly surveyed the Colonel from head
to foot, and back again.
The silence was painful.
Colonel" said the General slowly.
but not in an unkind tone, ''can youkeep
secret?"
Eyes, General" was the warm, if en-
barrassed, assurance. 81 know I can,
General. Yes, sir"
Are you quite certain, Colonel?"
81 am quite certain, General"
SWELL, Colonel" in the same quiet,
even tone, $50 can /, SIR"
The Colonel's face flushed crimson, and
there was deathly silence for half a
minute or more.
"Now, Colonel" said Jackson, with
some feeling, ''that rudeness of mine
hurt me as much as it did you, but L
trust that it has taught you a valuable
lesson. If we do have fight tomorrow,
Colonel, your regiment shall have a
chance. Atlanta Constitution.

why Some Farmers FaIl in Raising
Stock.
In conversation with farmer few
days since he stated that he once tried
keeping sheep, but utterly failed. Upon
inquiry we found that his farm was well
fitted for the business. We then in
quired as to his special trouble. We
found that his sheep became diseased
and died. Now, when the natural con-
ditions are good, and still sheep become
diseased, we shall pretty surely find that
''the trouble" is in the management. Ii
was so in this case. Our friend knew
nothing at all about sheep and, worse
still, he did not try to learn. He kept
his sheep in winter in yards that were
wet, when it was not frozen; he stuffed
them with dry food; he mad a hired man
that did not half take HSre of them, and
now our friend is willing to affirm
without the fear OF contradiction
that there is nothing in sheep.
A locomotive, magnificent in struct-
ure, mighty in power and representing
thousands of dollars, is utterly useless
in the hands of man who does not
know how to run it So is sheep Not
long since we had a letter from a COR
respondent who referred to statement
that he made that sheep and horses
were all that the farmer was now pro-
ducing that paid profit. He said that
it was all wrong to say that there was
profit in sheep, for he was a sheep
breeder but had not made dollar out
of them for three years. Well, it was
not the fault of the sheep. That is GER
tain, provided they were naturally
good sheep. 1t is in the nature of the
wonderful if a man who knows nothing
about the needs of the business can
make success with sheep

stewart,s Fnmons nntterx.

The list of the whole Union army,
East and West, regular or volunteer, for
aggregate casualties in battle during
the four years, is headed by Battery B
Fourth United States artillery, gener-
ally known as "Stewart's." This bat
terry with total enrolment of 317 en-
listed men and seven officers, had thir-
ty-seven men killed or mortally wound
ed, and 121 wounded, in thirty-three
battles, including one officer killed, one
mortally wounded and three wounded.
This is 1853 battle casualties out of 324
souls, or trife under fifty per cent.
But it should be borne in mind that of
this total of 317 thirty-eight were regu-
lars, who were discharged in the spring
of 1862, before the battery had been in
battle. Subtracting these leaves 2s6
men who did the fighting, and their
loss appears to be nearly fifty-seven per

TRINITY CHURCH.

fhc was rector of the Church of the Ad-
won't, Philadelphia, and for the next
seven years rector of the Church of the
Holy Trinity in that city
In 1869 he became rector of Trinity
Church in his native city, where he has
since remained, declining many calls to
go elsewhere. Some years ago a pro-
fessorship at Harvard was offered him
and refused, and in 1885 he was
elected Assistant Bishop of Pennsylva-
MIA. He seems perfectly satisfied with
his present influential position and its
annual salary Of twelve thousand dol
lars. He is ably assisted in his duties
by Rev. Mr.. Roberts and Rev. Goodwin
Smith.
He holds slow church" views and has
frequently preached for other denomina-
7tions.
Among his published works are:
Lectures on Preaching" efore the
Yale Divinity School; Sermons, ''-.lfiu-
eroe of Jesus" (Bohlen lectures de-
1ivered in Philadelphia in 1879 "Bap-
ftism and Confirmation, etc.
Trinity Church, Boston, was built in
1877 by society formed in 172s an Off
shoot from the Kings Chapel congrega-
tion. It's first church building was
erected in 1735. 1t was u plain wooden
STRUCTURE with a gsmbrel roof, but in
spite of its barn-lilse appearance, its in
tesior was the most elegant in Boston.
Hare General Washingto ton attended
services in 1889. The rectors of this
church have been distinguished for their
,eloquence and fame. In 1928 a fine
granite structure was erected on the
site of the old church and this was de-
stroyed by the fire CT November, 1872.
The present church was built in 1877
and is the finest church in Boston, vast
and picturesque. 1t faces Copley Square,
or "Art Square," around which is
grouped much of the finest architecture
of the city. 1t is of dark granite and
brown freestone, French Romanesque
in style, and cost three-quarters of a
million dollars. In it's architecture it
endeavors to exemplify the repose and
grandeur of that of the eleventh century
An Aquitaine.

with red tiles from Akron, o., rises 21t

ANOTHER INCUBATOR.

A Good Machine, and Any One Can Build

We have obtained from the Farm and
Fireside the two cuts illustrating an in
cubator constructed by j. Grant, of Cat
lettsburg, KY, which combines the ad-
vantages of a tank with lamp, the OPP

draught and moisture. Mr.. G. describes
it as follows:
The length of the machine is 4 feet Z
inches, 2 feet inches wide, and Of
inches high. 1t is made of dressed lum-
ber inch thick. The egg drawer is 20
inches long, Is inches wide and inches
deep, with coarse muslin for bottom,
with Stats. The machine is put togeth-

or to be altered. There are inches of

my shoulder at Brandy Station, and was
in hospital at Washington for treat
ment, when an Ohio infantryman was
placed on the cot next on the left. He
had been shot in the leg about two
months before, and after every effort
had been made to save the limb he had
been brought here to have it amputated.
A surgeon came one day to notify him
that the operation would be performed
the next day, and Bill, as we called him,
listened, and then replied:
"Say, Doc, I'm waiting for letter
from the old woman. l wrote to her
that the leg would probably have to
come off, and L want to hear what she
has to say"
"But that can't make any difference"
"Well, perhaps not, but kind o. want
her opinion. She's always been down
on one-legged men, and 1 want to see
whether she's going back on me or not"
"But she won't, of course"
"You don't know about that Women
is Gurus. When she begins to think OF
me Gathering up and down with wood
en- pin and realizing that I've got to go
stumping around for life, she may feel a
disgust Give me two or three days
more in which to get a letter"
The surgeon consented, and in two
days the letter came. Bill was very
nervous and excited, and he asked me
to read the epistle and give him the
news. 1t wasn't from his wife, but from
her sister, and she wrote:
ION the day that you wrote Mary thas
yourleg would have to come off we start
ed to drive, over to Uncle Ben'sr The
horse ran away, smashed every thing
up, and Mary's left leg was SO badly
broken that it was amputated yester-
day. She has the best of care and is
doing we'll. She sends love, and advises
you to have your leg off at once. "
"Whoop!' yelled Bill, in voice which
aroused the whole ward. Its her left
and my right. Two wooden pins to go
Gathering up and down! Two legs to
hang up on the wall when we turn in at
night! One of you nurses go and tell old

where he passed so many weary hours,
the pen with which he last wrote, the

MIDNIGHT ON THE BATTLEFIELD

'Tis midnight on the battle-plnin
Where lies the wounded and the slain;
Where needless of surrounding foes,
The weary seek q brief Tcpose.
The solemn starlight glimmers DER
The palid forms that never more
Shall rouse them at the bugle-call-
And rush to conquer or to fall.
Rest weary soldier while you may;
For fierce will be the coming fray;
And sad must thy awakening be,
If dreams of home are haunting thee.
instead OF household voices sweet
Wars harsher sounds thy ears shall greet;
The sabers clash, the cannon's boom
The knell of many soldiers doom.
Yet best beyond the common lot
(Thy name shall never be forgot)-

Who early fills the patriots graveY
