yXTith a better understanding Of the
w transient nature of the many phys
tcal ills which vanish before proper eff
9orts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
lightly directed There is comfort in
De knowledge that SO many forms Of
sickness are not due to any actual dis.
ease, but simply to q constipated condi-
Gon of the system, which the pleasant
Sanity laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
u removes That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
enc remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, thatyou have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists
If in the enjoyment Of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
lives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

was as rare in the confederate CAM
at that time as are roses on the northern
hilltops in December. Even Ignatius
Donnelly, with all his genius for un
folding the hidden, could not have dis
covered trace of it in the mess stores
of that army. You can imagine, there
fore, the self-restraint exercised by
each guest as they declined in turn a
slice of the delectable meat protfered
by their host, who held the carving
knife and fork ready to cut and help.
1t was observed that when the gen
cral, after helping to the cabbage, said
to the guest whose plate Ephraim held
out: ALLOW me to help you to slice
of the bacon?" the devoted old servitor's
hand trembled greatly. In fact. he
seemed to be in n state of decided fright
The high military rank of the guests
would not account for his trepidation,
for he daily served near master who
outranked them all. There was no
splendor left in the tracery of faded
gold lace on their battle-staincd uni
forms TO dazzle his eyes and cause them
TO roll about and glance from bacon TO
guest, and from guest to bacon, as each
answered the half question with the
words: No, thank you, general" The
discomposure of the serving man was
all the more striking from its contrast
with the serene, self-poised dignity
Of his benign master.
Dinner over, the general and his
guests retired from the tent, but as
they passed out Gen. Lee turned and
said in low tone: "Ephraim. we have
another cabbage, have we not?"
The answer was: Eyes, sab, Mass Bob.
We's got anudder cabbage. sah."
Then, Ephraim," said the general,
save the piece of bacon to cook with
that cabbage"
The prompt and decisive reply was:
NO, sab, Mass Bob. cant do dat! /
;is borrow dat piece of bacon for season
IL from friend ober dar in Richmon'.
and | done glib up my parole oh honah
lat III glib him back dat same bacon

The general, who could not be party
@ any mans violation of his parole of
lonor, consented at once to the return
