Ten Minutes.

A touching story is told of the late
Prince Napoleon. He had joiued the
English army, and was one day at the
head of squad riding horseback out
side of the camp. One of the company
said: "We had better return. If We
don't hasten, we may fall into the
hands of the enemy
cob" said the Prince, "let us stay
here ten minutes and drink our cof-
fee Before the ten minutes had
passed company of Zulus came upon
them, and in the skirmish the Prince
lost his life. His mother, when in
formed of the facts, in her anguish
said, "That was his great mistake
from his babyhood. He never wanted
to go to bed at night in time, nor to
arise in the morning. He was ever
pleading for ten minutes more. When
too sleepy to speak he would lift up
his two little hands and spread out ten
fingers. indicating that he wanted ten
minutes more. On this account, |
sometimes called him, 'NIr. Ten Min
utcs.
How many have lost not only their
lives, but their precious, immortal
souls, by this sin of procrastination!
When God calls, We should promptly
obey.

THE LATE MAJOR GEN CUSTER.


Ever since the hcartrcnding intelli-
gence of the massacre of the gallant
and chivalrous Custer and his brave
comrades reached me | have felt the
impulse to record an event in my mill
ta-y career so crcditable to that dis
tinguished officer that it cannot fail to
interest those who value his memory.
On the morning Of "Wednesday,
April 5, 1868, the Confederate troops
from Richmond, united with those re-
tiring before Sheridan, who led the
advance of the Union army from
Petersburg. Near Amelia Court House
Sheridan held the direct road fr. ;
Amelia in onr front and rendered ii
necessary that we should make a
detour of some miles during the nj ght,
which brought us to Amelia Springs
about sunrise on the 9th. Hating
for few moments for refreshment,
sorcly needed, the march was resumed
about | | a. M, and brought my divis-
ion about noon to the point where the
wagon road turned abruptly to our
right rear, leading to Appomattox.
At this point we found the line of
march threatened by the Union cav
airy, and to cover the road my com
mand was halted until the wagon train,

An Engines Slow Run.

When the Western North Carolina
railroad was pushed through the Blue
Ridge mountains twenty years ago,
the construction rk was carried on
at both ends, fro. Old Fort, n. c.,
westward upon the eastern side, and
between the Swannanoa gap and Ashe
Vile upon the western side. As the
work progressed, an engine upon the
western side became necessity, and
the line upon the eastern side had
only reached Henry's, little station
at the top of the gap. To suspend
the work meant long delay. An en-
gine must 60 out. and the problem
arose how to get it there, over the
mountain. One Of the lightest en-
gines on the line was sent in as far as
Henry's. From there to the rails on
the other side of the gap it was three
and one-half miles. and all the way up
hill, five hundred feet to the mile.
The track to the top was but roughly
graded. There were bridges and cul
verts to build. 1t was decided to
utilize the turnpike road. By means
of short sections of track, the sections
being taken up after the engine had
passed them, and carried forward to
be replaced for further progress, it
was regarded as possible to effect the
ascent.
AS it was manifestly impossible for
any frictionwheeled engine to carry
itself up such sharp grade, it would
have to be dragged up by other means.
A long line of oxen was tried, but the
plan failed through the inability to
obtain uniform pull from the team.
There was plenty Of power, but it
could not be made to harmonize. FL
nally a large crew of convicts by whom
the road was being built was set at
work. Ropes were run forward upon
which some two hundred men in striped
clothes were set to pulling. Others
worked at the wheels with pinchbars,
while others stood ready with blocks
of wood to serve as wedges behind the
wheels, to hold every inch of ground
that was gained. Almost inch by
inch, with long pull, and a strong
pull, and a pull altogether,' this forty
tons of dead engine was dragged up
the mountain at the rate of a mile
week. Trains have been showed in,
broken down and delayed so that the
progress was slow. But it IS doubtful
if complete engine was ever Kept in
motion day after day for three Tc"ka
at a slower rate of movement than
one-sixth Of mile per day.

COLLEGE NOTES.


April number of the Church, at
Home and Abroad written by Kin
Takahasm:
Maryville College has sent out
nineteen foreign missionaries since
1872, and it is not strange that young
men and women, whose student life
is spent in the Missionary atmosphere
Of this instltution, should desire to
devote them selves to such work. In
the missionary alcsve OF the College
library may be found a choice cellec-
ton of well selected books, while
the reading tables are supplied with
the Church at Home and Abroad, the
Missionary Review of the World, the
Students Volunteer, Home mission
monthly, Japan Evangelist and Chi
mas Millions. The young Mems
Christion Association and the Young
Womens Christian Association also
hold joint missionary meeting,
every month, at which carefully
prepared papers are read. These two
associations meet every Sunday after
noon for a missionary study class.
In addition to all this, the students
volunteer band, numbering fourteen,
meets once a week to take up the
outline studies prepared for the stu
dents volunteer. AT this meeting
one member is always appointed to
report the current events. Once
each year canvass of the college is
made and every student is asked to
give fixed sum weekly or monthly
for mission"

Promptly at 1880 o'clock the classes
were assembled in the dining hall
in their respective places. The
Toast Master, F. S. Campbell, from
his CONSPICUOUS position arose and
addressed the classes in a short in
trdouctory speech in which he COM
plemented the classes on the zeal
which they have showed and the
loyalty displayed by everyone in the
undertaking of this enterprise; also
the harmony displayed by SO great
number in promoting this under
taking. He also complemented the
classes in his usual eloquent way on
uniting and arousing spirit Of class
rivalry and in taking the lead Of the
other classes in the first real promi-
nent undertaking anv joint classes Of
the College have ever set on foot.
After several witty remarks and gags
on the Senior and Sophomore classes,
and sounding note Of warning to
them if any should be so near, the
first toastman was introduced, J. E.
Biddle of the Junior Class. The
subject of this toast was "Trash. 4"
The Toastman took up each member
Of the Junior Class and treated him
in way becoming his subject.
When he had finished the dlgnifed
Juniors had slid far down into their
chairs and were scarcely visible.
When the applause had died down
the first Freshman toastman, w. S.
Greene, was introduced, Toast,

when she distinguished herself by re-
