scene not on the programme happened.

told him he thought be bad been badly

finally Wilkinson said lie would meet kanes at

A Story of General Grant.

I was told a good story about General
Grant. 1t will be recalled that early in the
war the New York Fire Zouaves were a
crack regiment, commanded by Colonel
Ellsworth. The fire Zouaves were the
first troops to march into Alexandria, Va.
Their colonel was at their head, and after
the town bad surrendered Ellsworth saw
Confederate flag flying from hotel
Instead of ordering d squad to remove it
he bolted into the house, assembled the
stairway, went out on the roof and cap
tuted the flag Descending he was con-
fronted by the landlord-one Jackson
who shot him dead. jackson himself was
then shot to death, and the affair created
more sensation than considerable battles a
few years later
After the war a daughter Of Jackson Sc
cured an appointment in ole of the depart
ments here. She was modest, diligeat
and capable young woman, and discharged
her official duties acceptably. In the course
of time SUPERFICIAL gentleman was put in
charge Of the bureau in which she worked.
Nosing around, he soon discovered the
antecedents of the young clerk and dis
charged her. She was friendless and pen
niless, and as last resort went to the
White House and called for General Grant.
He received her and she related her story
to the silent man. Without saying a word
he took a piece of paper and wrote: ''The
war against men is ended and my admins
tration shall not begin one against women.
Restore Miss Jackson to her former clerk
ship instantly" This was addressed to
the loyal bureau official, and the young
lady is yet in the public service, That was
an exhibition Of chivalry that Dnriois OF
Francis | might have envied.-Washing-
ton Cor. Louisville Courier-Journal.

Four long years had Jack, the sailor,
been away. and his ship was reported
"lost, with all on board" The news
seemed to pile years on his fathers bent
shoulders; his mothers smile faded out
and wrinkles scanned her cheeks. One
summer day, however, as the two came
slowly out of church with their pretty
daughters-all three scarcely balancing
the loss of the one dear soma shabby,
bronzed and handsome fellow rushed up to
the group and took his mother in his arms.
"It's my boy! my own boy!'' cried she,
throwing her arms about him and smoth-
ering him with kisses, while the father
managed to get possession of one brown,
sinewy hand.
"Come, mother, give us a chanceP cried
the girls in chorus, and by this time the
entire congregation had surrounded the
wanderer and claimed his greeting
But you were drowned, Jack" ex-
claimed the youngest sister, and Jack
laughed as he explained:
mo, only partly. Two of us foated for
days, reached an island in the Pacific. fell
in with friendly savages, and then
waited for a ship. Got my belt full of
money, father, but couldn't wait to buy G
rag of decent clothes"
Then the minister said solemnly, ''Let us
pray and there under the trees with I'M
covered head, he offered thanks for the
wanderers return When he had finished
every one was softly weeping, and not a
soul dreamed that the tragic joy of the oc-
casion could be turned into mirth. Sud
denly Jacks mother, wrought up beyond
endurance, opened her lips and spoke.
"Jack" said she sharply, amt YOU
ashamed to come to meetin with such a
ragged old Handkerchief as that?''
Jack roared, and SO did the neighbors.
Tears were wiped away and laughter
reigned.-Y outh's Companion.

"Chesapeake bay has the finest kind OF
OYSTERS" said the Talking Man. "The
reason they are sometimes found growing
on tree branches is this: The spawn of the
oyster floats about in the water, tossed by
wind and waves. 1t has the quality of at
taching itself firmly to any solid substance
it touches. Sometimes it might be the
bottom OF Il ship, rock or tree branch.
You know the bottom of ship often needs
scraping on account of the shellfish adher-
ing to iE.
snow, the branches of trees often droop
into the water. They do it along the Dor
ders of the Chesapeake the same as on the
banks of any other river or bay. At high
tide such branches will be covered with
water, and when the tide goes back the
branches come to the surface again.
''The spawn sticks on those boughs when
they are beneath the waves. In few days
the tiny oysters begin to develop, and be-
fore long at every low tide the branch can
be seen hanging out, with little oysters
growing all over it.
Sometimes q branch which is often I'M
der water will be nearly covered with small
oysters. It looks very odd, of course. but
it's a common enough sight down there
Grow? They don't grow very large, to
be sure. To attain perfection an oyster
must always be under water, and these
hang half the time out of it. When they
are exposed too long to the hot sun they
die. Their weight often causes them to fall
off."-Harper's Young People.

Early Rising,

From very ancient date there has been
class of wiseacres who were unwilling
to admit that any good could emanate
from those who did not "risa with the
lark" These would-be philosophers held
mere early rising to I've virtue which COW
cred g multitude of sins. aud that early
retiring and early rising would make men
"l.eaithy, we:slthy and wise" daspte the
fact that miikmen, chin aey sweeps and
G. hers, who are earliest out of their bed
were never distinguished for these said
characteristics or requirements.
Should one argue that early rising, like
cold baths in winter, did not agree with
all constitutions, they would refer to the
sluggard, or to the early bird, or to some
other person or thing having not the least
posi- BILE relation to our circumstances.
Imagine the comfort ~ of having one Of
these early rising philosophers rs a near
neighbor, or perchance adweller under the
same roof, and he not only rising at I'M
reasonable hours. but insisting upon dis
turbing the forty morning winks" of the
other inmates.
These good people are not aware that
they have mistaken habit for character
istic, and you could not convince them that
it is as often bad as a good trait. They
have never observed that many evil doors
are frequently stirring about early in the
morning.
If, however, early rising IS used by them
as an argument for forehandedness, then
much that is said may be true; still it is
really more important that man should
obtain Il sufficient amount of refreshing
sleep than that he should rise each morn
at a given hour.-Fannie l.. Fancher in
IIousekeeper.
