A Musicians Query.

Murray Carleton told good tale last
night ON Dave Sjlverburg, a CONNER
cial tourist of years experience, but
now merchant of Clarksville, Tex.
David enlisted in the late war, and was
duly installed as tenor drummer of his
company. A sharp skirmish took place
between the Confederate and Federal
troops, and Dawes colonel ordered him
to beat a retreat. This was just what
Dave desired most of all, and he piled
his drumsticks so Justify that the COM
pany took to their heels and fed like
mad d We followed as fast as his
short legs could carry his fat body, but
each moment increas the distance
between him and his flee ing comrades.
Exhausted and painting, Dave called
them to stop, but bullets were still
whistling about their ears and acceler-
ated their speed. With one great eff
fort Dave shouted: Holt on, boysl

He Knew Old Abe.

Senator Sherman of Ohio, in speech
at Sandusky during the campaign for
Lincoln's election, in the fall Of 1864,
drew this rough but accurate outline of
the lamented presidents character: " |
know Old Abe, and tell you there is
not, at this hour, more patriotic or
truer man living than that man, Abra-
ham Lincoln. Some say he is an i'm
beetle, but he not only held his own in
his debates with Douglas, whose power
is admitted, and whom consider the
ablest intellect in the United States
senate, but got little the better of
him. He has been deliberate and slow,
but when he puts his foot down it is
with the determination and certainty
with which our generals take their
steps; and, like them, when he takes a
city he never gives up. This firm old
man is noble and kind hearted. He is
child of the people. 20 to him with
story of woe, and he will weep like a
child. This man, 80 condemned, works
more hours than any other president
that ever occupied the chair. His so.
ceasing. l differed from him at first
myself, but at lat felt and believed
that he was right, and shall vote for this
brave, true, patriotic, kind hearted man.
All his faults and mistakes you have
seen. All his virtues you can never
know. His patience in labor is Won
derful. He works far harder than any
man in Erie county. At the head OF
this great nation-look at it'll He has
all the bills to sign passed by congress
No one can be appointed to any office
without his approval. No one can be
punished without the judgment receives
his signature, and no one pardoneG
without his hand. This man-a!ways
right, always just-we propose to re-
elect to the presidency."-Troy Times

Natural History Of Orators.

The natural history of the orators and
scribes of France is just as extensive and
peculiar as that of some of our men of
the pen and the tongue. Not long ago
one Of these gentlemen talked Of the SER
pent's cold hand, and to another the
hand of the bird of prey was just as
cold. And now here is third orator,
who recently delivered himself of the
following phrase; Perhaps M. Sebss-
tian would not care to make known
what were his relations with Valiant,

homicidal bomb has been put. West

How One Should Shake Hands.

Few of those who shake the hands of
public men on occasions of receptions held
in their honor realize the effect of this
process if long continued upon the person
who submits to it. Inquiry of them would
often elicit the fact that there were swol-
len hands or strained muscles and badly
afflicted nerves us it's result. President
Polk had an experience of this kind which
led him to study into the art of shaking
hands for his own protection, and this is
his conclusion with regard to it, set down
in his private diary:
"If man surrendered his hand to be
shaken by one horizontally, by another
perpendicularly and by another with a
strong grip, he could not fail to suffer Sc
verely from it, but if he would shake and
not be shaken, grip and not be gripped,
taking care always to squeeze the hand Of
his adversary as hard as the adversary
squeezes him, he would suffer no inconven-
fence from it. | can generally anticipate
a strong grip from "a stronger man, and
then take advantage of him by being
quicker than he and Selling him by the
tip of his fingers"
This has the obvious advantage of
demonstrating cordially on the part Of
those who thus heartily grasp hands held
out to them.-Boston Herald.

Loving Back.

Little Alice was playing with her doll
while her mother was writing. When
her mother had finished the writing she
told Alice that she might come and sit
on her lap, and Alice said: "I'm 80
glad! 1 wanted to love you so much,
mammal" "Did you, darling?" and
she clasped her tenderlv. "I am very
glad that my little girl loves me so, but
l fancy that you were not very lonely
while was writing; you and Dolly
seemed to be having happy time to-
gether." Yes, mamma, we were;
but after awhile l got tired OF loving
her." "And why?" ooh, just be-
cause she never loves me back!"
And that is why you love me-" "That
is one why, mamma, but not the first
one, nor the best" "And what is the
first and best?" "Why, mamma, don't
you guess?" and the blue eyes grew
very bright and earnest. SITS be-
cause you loved me when 1 was too
little to love you back; that's why l
love you So" That was very good
reason, and even mamma herself could
not have given better one. That is
one reason, also, why we should love
the dear Lord" Because he first loved
US, and died to redeem us from our
sin. Our Little People.

A Story OF Joe Jefferson.

Many boys and girls have seen the
famous actor, Joe Jefferson, in his
great play, Rip Van Wrinkle, that de-
lightful story of the Catskill fairies, and
in it that weird scene where he par
takes of the spirits that the elves give
him, making him sleep twenty years.
Well, there is a good story told about
Jefferson in that particular scene.
Once being near some good fishing
grounds, he spent the day in drawing
in the gamy trout, and was thoroughly
tired when the curtain rolled up for
the evening performance. Things
moved smoothly enough until he is sup
posed to fall asleep. Now that sleep
in fiction lasts twenty years, but on the
stage about two minutes. This time,
however, the two minutes were length
ened out into ten, much to the amuse-
ment of the audience and provocation
of the stage.manager. Jefferson had
really fallen asleep, and his shores, it is
said, were quite audible beyond the
footlights Several remarks were fired
at him by the audience, and, finally,
the stage-mauager had to go beneath
the stage and open trap near where
Jefferson was lying and try and wake
him up. He called and called, but it
WAS no use, and in desperation he sue
ceeded in tbbing pin into him, which
made Jefferson jump up with sharp
cry, and quickly realized where he was.

OUR BOYS And GIRLS.
Little Boy Blue.

Perhaps the best-known OF the shorter
poems Of the late Eugene Field, says an ex-
change, is the following exquisite little gem,
the pathos OF which will be appreciated in
every home from whence some Little Boy
Blue +" has passed to the dreamless silence
of the grave:
The little toy deg s covered with dust,
But sturdy and staunch he stands;
And the little toy soldier Is red with rust,
And his musket mouds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new,
And the soldier was passing fair
And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
"Now, don't you go till l come" he said,
"And don't you make any nose"
So, toddling off to his trundle.bed,
He dreamt of the pretty toys
And as he was dreaming, angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
oh, the years are many, the years are long.
But the little toy friends true.
Ay, faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand,
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch OF little hand,
The smile of little face.
And they wonder, as waiting these long year,
through
In the dust of that little chair
What has become of our Little Boy Blue
Since he kissed them and put them there.

Old Associations.

1t will never be possible to tear from
the valleys of the Potomac, the Kappa
hammock, the Shenandoah and the
James the associations of the war;
neither from the Tennessee, Alabama
and Georgia mountains of the West.
In the East the bloody ground was be-
tween Gettysburg, Penn, on the north
and Suffolk, Va, on the south, the west,
ern limit on line drawn through
Lynchburg and the eastern through
Norfolk. Iu this district, about $50
miles broad and 200 miles long, &C.
Cured thirteen battles where the loss
in killed outright numbered over 100,-
600 and the aggregate of killed and
wounded was over 100000. In the
lesser engagements and in siege oper-
ations probably 100 900 more were num-
bered with the casualties. Here were
fought the desperate struggles of Get
tysburg, AntietRm, Malvern Hill and
Winchester, fields of glorious memory
to veterans who contended there. Here
the Monitor" bore down the Merri-
mack" and led off in new era of naval
warfare. Here, too, was Appomattox.
Back and forth over this blood-stained
arena the armies contended in the cam
paigns of the Rappahannock, the PENN
sula, the invasions of Maryland and
nnsylvania, the Shenandoah and the
Wilderness. The graves of the Union
dead in this consecrated arena number
over 10000, and tens of thousands more,
who there received their death stroke,
were borne North 10 their last resting
place.

Force of Habit.

Force of habit impels us to do great
many ridiculous things. That clever
little compendium of wit and informa-
ton, It'd Bits well illustrates this fact
with story of a railway porter, living
in Lancashire, who was in the habit of
frequently getting up in his sleep, and
from whose actions it was evident that
his daily occupation was ever present
in his mind One night he jumped up
hurriedly, ran down to the kitchen,
vigorously opened the oven door, and
cried out, "Change here for Bolton,
Bury and Manchester"

A Dog Story.

A London dog story is apt to be a
hard sort of tale to believe, but it is
never lacking in interest. The latest
is of a dog who takes a daily walk with
it's mistress. The animal has observed
that at certain crossing the police
man stops the traffic to allow his mis-.
tress to pass over. The other day the
dog went out alone, and when he came
to the crossing he barked to attract the
policeman's attention. The policeman
observed what the dog wanted. He
stopped the traffic, and the dog walked
solemnly across.-Exchange.
