Good for tho vsrmonrsrs.

r. r. George, Co. ID, 9Th VT, having
seen an article which said that the
Sixth Corps was not the hrst to break
the rebel lines near Petersburg, April
2, 1865, says on the night OF April l.
which was as dark rs pitch, the order
came to fall in and march over the
breastworks toward the plcket-line.
After reaching the picket they formed
in line of battle and the Vermont Bril-
gade was ordered to lie down. About
o'clock on the morning OF April
2 a signal-gun was fired which bade
them form for the first dance. the
music to be furnished by the partici-
pants. They were ordered to pay no
attention to the rebel picket, and not
u gun was fired until they got to the
abatis. The rebel picket did not see
them until they got within 20 feet, 1t be-
ing so dark. While getting through
the abatis the rebol main line opened
on them with telling effect, and the
solid flame from their breastworks lit
up the country around so they could
see where they were going. They
charged and took the works, and the
writer does not think there was any
regiment ahead OF his in that charge.
The writer was slightly wounded
in the breast and came near being
bayoneted by the rebel, but member
OF his company brought his gun-barrcl
down on tho rebels head. and the
writer can hear the sound OF that gun
blow until this day. The fight did
not last long at such close quarters
for some OF the rebels threw up thoir
hands, while others ran like race
horses. The brigade moved on until
they reached the South Side Railroad,
where they tore up the track. 1t was
glorious victory, and the Vermont
ers got there for certain.

One of tho Queer Chances.

Every once in while some war vet
eran, under proper circumstances and
conditions, will tell you how he es-
capped death at such place and such
q time by the ''queerest chance in the
world" One OF these ''queerest
chances In the world fell to the lot
of an old timer who lives in German
town. ard, in truth, it is one OF the
very queerest lie was about to leave
for the seat OF war in 1868, and the
girl to whom he was engaged. among
numerous other things, gave him u
chest protector made by her own
fair hands and wet by her
tears. 1t was meant to be
practical and was OF immense thick
ness - that is, it was padded to the
depth of an inch or two. During n
long and tedious campaign in chilly
weather, the soldier found 1t invalu-
able as safeguard against colds. and
wore 1t almost constantly. He had il
on one morning when plunged into
the heat of a. hand-to hand skirmish.
The affair developed into quite little
battle, and soon the struggling fire on
both sides had become rafting vol
leys. When it was over the soldier
retired to his tent and removed his
coat and shirt in order to stanch the
flow of blood from small flesh wound
in his back. In removing the pro-
tector he felt q sharp pain shoot
through his chest, and then he noticed
that the protector was cut all up by
the passage OF bullet. An
investigation developed an awfully
'queer chance" His sweetheart had
accidentally left needle sticking in
the pad which he had never noticed
before. This ran right through the
cloth and bullet had struck it on the
point. The needle had been forced
back clear through n thick button on
his wooden undershirt and thence had
gone little distance into the skin.
The resistance of the button had
forced the soft lead OF the bullet clear
round the needle so that the bullet
was fairly impaled on the slender
wire. Thus was the life Of the SOL
der saved, and through the careless
ness OF his beloved in leaving the
needle in the protector. Grit.

Choosing the better Part.

Men have early learned the law OF
self-preservation. They specialize.
They choose that pursuit and that
recreation which best suit their ma
lures and their needs. Does not the
artist steadily refuse to be merchant?
Does not the broker refuse to paint
foorsp Does the historian expect to
be equally learned in astronomy?
Does the want OF knowledge or ex-.
perience ir any business or study
prevent appreciative and respecting
intercourse between men?
Let woman then realize that she
cannot compass the universe. Let
each woman quietly take account OF
her stock in trade, OF her mental en-
Idowments, her capacity. and her
strength, and from these let her select
what is best for her to do and to be.
Whatever is wisest for her home
that trinity OF husband, children, and
self--is her better part, which can
never be synonymous with mere pleas
ure, self-indulgence, or stagnation.
Let her then resolutely turn her back
upon all those ambitions foreign to
this purpose, for no thoughtful woman
will find her aims too narrow. even
when she has restricted her interests
as much as possible. Let her not be
deceived into spasmotic efforts in
other directions by other women
whose aims are not like hers. Let her
not attempt to reach for their sue
cesses. or look upon her own as insig-
nifcant or insufficient, for she will
soon find in wisely ordered, tran
gully lived life happiness and
strength (which shall not be taken
away. -Harper's Bazaar.

that while the pay OF a second lieuten-
ant Is S116 month. first sergeant
receives only $22 month. The COM

that good first sergeant Is quite rs
necessary to company as q second
lieutenant and that his duties are
much more onerous. The committee
also believes that tho beneficial effects
OF the proposed measure would at
once be felt throughout the army and
would result in an abatement OF dis
content and listlessness, and o new
