Champion Mean Man.

The steamer s., commanded by
Captain s., exploded several years
since on one of our Southern rivers,
with terrible effect, and burned to the
waters edge. Captain s. was blown
into the air, alighting near a floating
bale Of cotton, upon which he hoated
uniniured, but much blackened and
muddied. Arrived at a village several
miles below, to which the news Of the
disaster had preceded him, he was ac-
costed by the editor Of the village
paper, with whom he was well ac-
quainted, all eager for an item.
Il say boy, is the s. blown up
"Yes."
WAS Captain s. killed ?"
no; am Captain s."
"The thunder you are How high
were you blown ?"
High enough to think of every
thing ever did in my life before /
came down"
The editor started on a run for his
Office, the paper about going to press,
and not wishing to omit the item OF
intelligence for the next issue, two
weeks of, wrote as follows:
THE steamer S. has burst her
boiler. We learnit from Captain s.
who says he was blown up long enough
to think of every mean thing he ever
did in his life before he lit. We sup
pose he was up about three months.

Stories Of General Lee.

Among the stories told by the Rev.
John X. White in his contributions 10
Blue and Groy on General Lee are
the following, which happened in this
neighborhood:
On one occasion, when he was deep
ly engaged in thinking out some plan
or problem of great importance, an
officer brought him large bundle Of
reports TO sign. This duty being among
the most disliked by the General. he
spoke rather sharply:
Colonel A, wba. did you bring ne
those for?"
The hot-headed Colonel fred imme-
diately, and. throwing the bundle yio-
leutly down on the table. was leaving
the room abruptly. At the door the
Generals voice arrested him.
Colonel Ar
The Colonel saluted.
"If, With the care Of the army on
my shoulders. / sometimes forget my
self, hope you will not forget your
sell"
The aentleness with which these
were said completely oyercsme the
Colonels : anger.
At another time, while on the way
to Falling Waters, the General was
sitting conyersing with group OF
soldiers, when one Of his staff officers,
whom he bad sent on some duty, re-
turned, and, full Of the result Of his
work, commenced blurting out his re-
port. he was abruptly interrupted
by the General:
Colonel B, you had better report
that to the whole arpy"
The Colonel was very angry, and
showed it as much az he dared When
again on she road, General Lee tried
to pacify the irate officer. Some but
termilk, Of which the General was very
fond, being given him. he called an
orderly and sent some Of it to the
Colonel. The latter refused to accept
it. Arriving at Falling Waters, the
General and staff stopped to wait for
the army to cross. Colonel B, utterly
exhausted. threw himself on the mud
dy ground and fell asleep. When ne
awoke the rain was pouring down and
-he was covered with General Lees
own capel

REVIVAL.

A little sun, a little rain,
A soft wind blowing from the west;
And woods and fields are sweet again,
And warmth within the mountains breast
SO simple is the earth we tread,
So quick her love with life and lame
Ten thousand years have dawned ana heo'
And still her magic is the same.
A little love, a little trrsi.
A soft impulse, a sudden dream,
And life as dry as desert dust
Is fresher than mountain stream.
Simple is the heart OF man.
so ready for new hope and JOY;
Ten thousand years siIce II began,
Have LETT it younger than boy.
