BRAVE OLD STEPHEN eIRARD.
\ Rich Man Who Loved Children and
Gave His Wealth to His Country.

4 Rich Man Who Loved Children and
Gave His Wealth to His Country.
A famous and eccentric millionaire
was Stephen Girard, but the world has
not yet analysed his character. In fact,
very few men in history have united so
many apparently contradictory quail
ties. He loved children most passion
ately, and the sight of crippled or
miserab ble-looking urchin would bring
tears to his eyes. His devotion to the
United States never once faltered, and
at every reverse during the war of 1872
Is he ground his teeth and, it is said,
swore in his native French. At length
he offered to dedicate his entire fortune
to the cause, lent the government five
million dollars, and asked no interest
till the war closed A rich man who
loves children and is willing to give all
his wealth to his country must have a
deal of good in him,
His bravery was of the morally sub
lime order. When the yellow fever
scourged Philadelphia, and the panic
had driven away most of the nurses, he

bravery. An atfiiction in early child
hood destroyed his right eye and dis
torted that side of his face, SO the boys
nicllnamed him by French word that
might be translated wall eye" He
lost his mother when he was quite
young and his father was harsh. In
short, he was IA miserable, lonely child,
and fled from home to be a cabin boy at
the age of ten.
The romance of his life came to him
in Philadelphia, where he opened his
first store. He was loved and beloved
again. She was singularly beautiful
and vivacious; he taciturn, badly dis
figured and eleven years her senior. For
few years they were very happy; then
she suddenly lost her health, soon be-
came violently insane, and lived in thai
condition thirty years in the state asy
lum. Their only child died in infancy
and the sad old man finished his jour
ney alone. His magnificent charities
have preserved his name for all time
lie was dcist in religion and named
his ships after infdel authors. Chicago

MET HIS BROTHER.
A Pathetic Incident of the Battle of Get
tysburg.


In the midst of the cannons roar our
regiment, the Thirty-ninth New York
volunteers, received orders to take the
right flank, and my section was in the
front.
Among my section We're Germans,
Italians, Spaniards and Frenchmen.
One German was named Shultz.
The union armies were situated so as
to fire into the enemy's ranks from the
side and thereby endeavor to check
their advance. AS already stated, my
section formed the front of the right
flank, and the boys We're doing splen-
did work. AS the enemy was advanc-
ing to make their final effort to break
the ranks of our men, suddenly l saw
man of my section advance toward
the enemy's lines with outstretchcd
arms and at the same time crying at
the pitch of his voice, 'Alein bruder,
mein bruder!'
The brothers met between the OPP
posite ranks, and in the midst of the
| fire embraced one another Then both
came running toward our ranks.
told Shultz to take his brother To
the rear as a prisoner and hand him
over to the provost guard. 1t was fool
| ish of me to do so, but / felt inspired 10y
some magical power to urge him back
but he declined to go and all urging
was of no avail; consequently hi
brother went to the rear without ar
escort. Shultz worked hard and fas
loading and firing his musket. HI
loaded his musket about five times
when suddenly he turned to me, hold
ing his hand to his heart, muttering
'Joe, ! must die" He fell to tn
ground and was dead IN. Y Recorder

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
BRIDAL AND BURIAL.

lTt was soldiers bridal day;
His darling stood In robes OF gray
To give TO him her heart
The soldier wore the army blue,
And vowed his VOW of honor true,
Till death their lives should part"
Above them hung our banner bright;
Each heart was sad and yet nlight
With hope he might not fall,
And that some happy, gala day,
he would return, with her to stay,
When bugles did not call
SslIaste to my rcscuo," Freedom cried
The soldier marched away-he died.
AS white as winter snow
He came again; alas! alas!
They hid his face beneath the grass
But thirty years ago
Under the pillow where his head
Was lying the dear bridc-witc spread
Her wodding-gown of gray
They found her picture on his breast
And left 1t undisturbed TO rest
Till Gods memorial day.
Her brow wears siguet OF the years;
gIer eyes have not forgot the tears
They shed that vanished day;
Her locks have lost youths lovlincss:
Their hue Is like her bridal dress,
OF unobtrusivc gray.
Time is gricf's healer; but she waits
Alone for him who by the gates
OF Heaven records the hours
Till she shall come with love rs true
AS when he wore the army blue,
Or lay mid funeral flowers.

A PRETTY ROMANCE.
Three Young Girls Rescued From n Burn
Ing House by Gallant Soldier.

Three Young Girls Rescued From n Burn
Ing House by n Gallant Soldier.
Shells were flying over latham court
house that 25th of May, the year before
Lee gave up his hope and north and
south clasped hands over the chasm of
four heart breaking years.
The federals had marched upon the
town in the morning, bringing across
the peach orchards from the south their
guns of death and destruction and
planting them upon the ridge.
With the daylight they had opened
fire. Before noon the little city's prin-
cipal building was but pile of ashes;
shells had torn up the earth in many of
the thoroughfares; jets of smoke puffed
up here and there where some building
had come within range of the firing;
homes had been burned; the devastation
of war was all about.
In room over little store in the
center of the town three children We're
sitting as children sit when terrible
thunder storm is passing their faces
white and scared War, though so old,
was new to them. Their father had
gone out in the beginning and had
never come back. Their mother had
died and left them alone.
Julia, the oldest, was sixteen. She
was womanly girl and had kept the
little family together She held the
hands of the others and they sat there
in silence, not knowing what the next
minute would bring forth.
In their fear they had not noticed the
cracking of fire in the store under
meath. If there was a smell of smoke
they thought it came from the cloud of
war.
Then there was sound of music. Is
there in all the land child who will
remain deaf to the sound of brass in
struments? They rushed to the window
and saw the bluecoats marching in
struggling squads down the street.
Then a puff of smoke rolled up be-
! tween them and the soldiers, They
leaned out of the window and looked
down. There was brittle cracking of
glass and a mass of flame poured out OF
the window uelow and reached up to-
ward the children. Julia started back
toward the landing. The flames were
pouring up the stairway and escape was
cut off. Then the children began to
scream. The soldiers looked up at the
white faces in the window. Scarcely
one of that war-begrimmed lot but had
dear little faces at home. War is heart
less but human nature is merciful.
Out of the squad a young man rushed.
There was no ladder. There seemed nc
way to reach them. By the side of the
house grew Virginia creeper, strong
with many years growth. He cut il
off close to the ground with his hayo
net, jcrlled it loose from its fastening
and threw the heavy end in at the win
dow above. Julia caught it and made
it fast. Then he climbed up and brought
the little ones down wrapped in his
army blanket, for the flames burned his
face and hair as he went. Julia bravely
followed and all We're safe.
The war was over and the soldier came
back to the north and never heard of the
southern children he had saved unit
last May, when he travelled back ovel
his old battlefelds. In the little towr
he looked up the children They were
married, all but Julia, and as the sol
dier and she We're both alone in tn,

deafness, and that is by constitu-
tiopal remedies. Deafness is caused
by an iuflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube gets inf1am-
ed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and the tube restored
to its normal condition, bearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
