Dead Soldier.
During the war / was at Louisville.
There were twenty-eight hospitals in
the city alone, and funerals were by
the wholesale. We buried 1000 after
the battle of Shiloh, and the lot the
government bought proved altogether
too small for the increasing wants OF
the dead. One night was ordered to
take out the body of soldier, and for
company as we'll as help took along
colored man named Frank. 1 never did
know his other name. He was slave
and belonged to the Lightburnes

seemed much inflated, as If each con-

who never kept his eyes off the corpse,

at last broke out; "Massa, wonder what
dat dead man has got in dem pockets
Speck it might be something worth
something" / said nothing and Frank
went ahead and searched the pockets.
He pulled out some immense rolls of
dollar. / took the silver half dollar
and Frank looked over the money, then
said: Say, boss, dat amt no good.
Now, it's long time since seen a sill

that piece for luck. I'll give you all this
money for that half dollar" thought

A Brave Man,
They had all seen service in the war
and were telling stories of life in the
camp and on the field. One old soldier
was telling about his colonel who
fought clear through the war in the
most reckless fashion and came out oi
more than fifty battles in good shape
and wearing major-generars uniform.
After narrating some of his most ter
| rife deeds, he said:
| "Yet with all his dash and daring the
old man was not impetuous. In the
most dangerous and critical moments
he was the coolest. Indeed, it is sale
that in his entire career he never lost

Going to him the young man stated just
what his ailments were. The doctor asked
his patient a number of questions which
were satisfactorily answered, and after

Charley Whittier, the local ticket agent
of the Union Pacific, tells this story:
I was on a steamer crossing the Allan

everybody on board was seasick. The most
notable exception to the rule was big
red faced fellow, who sauntered about the
promenade deck without showing the
slightest inconvenience from the ships
motion. l crawled meekly up to him and
asked how it happened that he took things
so easy, while all the rest of us were tug
ging at our very boots. I asked him what
he took to keep his stomach normal. He
said: sob, that's easy enough. l was a

Opening the Canal.

The most acceptable proposition that can be
made to persons troubled with chronic consti.
patton, is to open that important canal-the
bowels. That proposition can be carried out by
the parties interested ii they resort to Hostel

genial Alternative extant. 1t is the mistake of
many otherwise sensible people, that they re-
sort TO drastic, or, in other words, violent pur-
injurious, since such indictments weaken the

stomach with pain. Relief sought from the Bit

weakness of the bowels. Liver and kidney

a tendency to rheumatism, are remedled by this

I threw around her waist my arm,
And we strolled along in the cooling

OF quiet path, where l kissed the

Something strange-a joy, thrill,
Came over me-my heart stood still,
The red blood rushed-all seemed a

And wonderful change came DER my

Did her brown eyes flash, and cry Of

Echo along that shady path?
Nay, nay; but clinging fast as ivies
