PATIENCE.

Dc patient, Easy words to speak
While plenty ILLS the cup OF life,
While health brings roses TO the check.
And far removed are care and strife,
Failing so glibly from the tongue
or thosc-I often think of this
Whom suffering has never wrung,
Who scarcely know what patience Is
Be patient! when the suffrer lies
Prostratc beneath some fell disease,
And longs, through torturing agonies,
Only for one Short hour of ease.
Be patientl whom the weary brain
Is racked with thought and anxious care,
And troubles in an endless train
Seem almost more than 1t can bear.
To feel the torture of delay,
The agony OF hope deferred;
To labor still from day to day,
The prize unwon, the prayer unheard,
And still to hope and strive and wait
The due reward OF fortunes kiss;
This is to almost conquer fate,
This is 10 learn what patience is.
Despair not though the clouds arc dark,
And storm and danger vell the sky;
Let fate and courage guide thy barque,
The storm will pass, the port is nigh.
Be patient, and tho tide will turn,
Shadows will flee before the sun;
These are the hopes that live and burn
TO light us till our work is done.
All the Year Round.

JEFF THoMPsoN's CALAMITY.
How the Confederate General Acceded to
the Sedalia Ladies' Prayer.


the Sedalia Ladies' Prayer.
Did you ever hear how Gen. jeff
Thompson once evaded an order in the
field and didn't get caught ut it?" asked
an old Missourian recently. ut hap
pened, l think, in the summer of 1864,
the year when Gen. Price and Gen. \.
j. Smith were chasing each other up
and down the state. Gen. Thompson,
with a section of Prices army, swept
across the central Missouri prairies,
and on one hot August day the citi-
zens of Sedalia saw his men approach
ing the town in perfect cloud of dust.
''Sedalia was garrisoned by n body of
home guards under the command of
Col. William Bloss and Maj. William
Gentry, and so, when the alarm bell
sounded, the little band hurried TO the
trenches and prepared for defense.
Thompson saw the handful of citizens
and unlimbered his guns. An apparent
ly fierce cannonade was kept up for
half an hour, during which time one
man was killed, and then the home
guards capitulated and Thompson rode
into town. / remember the terrible
time he had that day endeavoring to
control his rough riders, who seemed
bent on making everything contrapand,
but he finally made them understand
his imperative orders and quiet was
soon restored, but not until every cit
izen of fighting age had been placed
under arrest and guard.
well, it leaked out before night that
Thompson had orders to burn the rail-
road depot. 1t was a great wooden

A PATRIOTIC FEEL.

When you hear old "Yanlsee Doodle"
Or some lively martial air,
There's priclkly sort OF feeling
That will start up in your hair;
II will travel down the backbone
To the region of the heart
II will never stop a-golng
Till 1t reaches every part
There's lump that keeps c-swelling
Right in under your left lung;
It's your heart, a-raising thunder,
And 1t wants to start your tongue.
You're chuck full OF love of country,
From your forehead to your heel;
You are ready now for action
You've patriotic feel
You forget oil selfish motives
And your sordid love for gain,
When you see the old flag floating,
And you hear that martial strain.
You have got real friendly feelings,
And with Tom and Dick you shake;
Now. If you're inclined to spirits,
It's friendly glass you take.
Now here come the boys a.marching,
They are old boys now, you know,
For they had smell Of powder
More than thirty years ago.
Some are old, and lame, and careworn,
And they carry battle-scars--
Nickum left his arm at Shiloh,
But he held on to the stars
There is jolly old Jack Hoskins,
With his wooden peg, you see;
Jack had both his legs In Georgia
One is missing at the knee.
So you stand and watch them passing
With their solemn, mournful tread;
Now you see q comrades absent,
There's q coffin-just ahead.
There's a misty sort OF something
That will gather in your eye,
And, in spite of all your wiping,
1t is hard to keep them dry.
1t is not q woman's weakness
To be moved by something sad
It's the milk of human kindness
That you did not know you had.
Oh, these sacred tears of pity,
When the heart speaks through the eye
They are pearls from Angel Mercy,
Precious jewels from the skies.
Now unlock the holy chamber,
Don't try longer to conceal
What is Christ-like in your being
Have patriotic feel

women had on sack belonging to a
woman named Laura Perrin. which was
identified. An overcoat taken by them

tioning IL was decided that the latter
