One of the best poems, illustrating
the good feeling prevailing in ali
sections Of our country, appears in
the Christmas number of the Youths
Companion, written by Edmund
Vance Cooke:
"The Third Ohio doff your caps who
love heroic men,
The Fifty-fourth Virginia you may
give salute again"
Captured in battle, and on their
way to prison, the Third Ohio had
sunk down, hungry and tired, on the
bare ground to sleep when
1.-The Fifty.fourth Virginia had broken
up its ranks,
And idly sauntered over to inspect
! the captured 'Yanks.'
They were very much disappointed,
for, except the color of uniform,
''They all are just like we ALL" SO
they cooked bacon and pone to give
the Yanks some supper.
"And then these gallant Southerners
they served it piping hot,
Saying 'Yanks this al IT no banquet,
but its sho'ly all we got"
The changing fortune of war flooded
Union camp with captive rebs. As
soon us he saw them a Yank ran
through the camp
"Yelling boys, oh! boys, If you've
got a human gizzard in We
You've got a chance to show it, now
here's the Fifty-fourth Virginia.
"They filed those Johnnies to the
brim, they held jubilee,
And lacked for nought that could be
bought or begged in Tennessee

The ThouxhtIss. Ones.

What is there more provoking than
to have unfaithful. lazy men. either
connected with you In business. or EN-
ployed about your premises? The mo-
ment that our faith in the doctrine OF
total depravity" Is the most rigorous
and active, Is when we see men and
boys, whom we have treated literally
and kindly, neglect their duties. rod
loaf" about the streets. or In BID.
when they should be at their posts-
These unfaithful people, however. do
not seem to be aware that their indif-
terence and Incidence work more &c
their own disadvantage than TO that OF
their employers; and because they are
treated kindly. they too frequently fan
sy that their services are indispensable
about an establishment. We have met
with several instances OF this sort In
our own experience; and we would ex'
hort that portion OF our readers who
may be employed In either largo or
small establish ments. to be careful lest
they fall into this lazy. faithless, negli.
rent habit. When you act faithfully
toward your employer. you act stiil
more faithfully toward yourself.

The Little c iIdien That
Ar. Gone.

Why do they come, these little
ones that enter our homes by the
gateway of suffering and that
linger with us few months, utter
ing no words, smiling in a myster-
ious silence yet speaking eloquent
ly all the time of the purity and
sweetness of heavenl Why must
they open the tenderest fountain
of nature to only leave them
so soon checked with the bitter
tears of loss. 1t is impossible
wholly to answer such questions
of the tortured heart, but one can
ssy in general that these little
temporary wanderer, from celes-
tial homo come and 60 because of
the great love of God. 1t is an
inestimable blessing to have been
he parent of a child that has the
stamp of heaven on its brow, to
old it in ones arms, to admins
ter to it, to gaze fondly down into
its little upturned face, and to
rejoice in the unsullied beauty OF
its smiles and then to give it back
to God at his call, with the thought
that in heaven, as upon earth, it
is still our own child, a member
of the household still, 10 be count
ed always as one of the children
whom God hath given us. such
a love chastens and sanctlfes the
hearts of father and mother, car
ries them out beyond time and
space, and gives them hold upon
the unseen. AS things OF great
value always cost, it is worth all
| the sorrow to have known this
holy affection and to have this
treasure in heaven.

HOW TO VOTE UNDER THE
NEW ELECTION LAW

The new law governing tbe
casting of ballots which was Great.
ed by the last Legislature, will pre-.
vail at the Forthcoming election
and receive its first trial. 1t will
be strange TO the voters, and they
will save time by giving attention
to the form of ballot and the in
structions before entering the yot-
ing booths. The law reads as
follows:
Section 1. From and after the
passage of this act no emblem,
device or party designation shall
be used on the official ballot at
any election in this state by which
a voter may vote for more than
one candidate by placing a single
cross mark (x) on the ballot; pro
vided, that across the head of the
ballot and Just above the lists of
nominations shall be printed the
words, 81 hereby vote straight

to vote straight ticket may write

for the name of the party whose
ticket he may wish to vote, and any
ballot so cast shall be counted for
all nominees upon said ticket, ex-
cept when the voter has marked
opposite the name or names of
any individual candidate of some
other party, which individual
marks opposite such candidates
shall count for them, and shal
not be counted for the candidates
for the same Office upon the ticket
whose party name the voter has

A Game Chan.

A girl in the mountains of Virginia had
two sweetbearts. She finally decided to
marry one of them, and an invitation was
sent the other to attend the wedding.
He was game chap and responded.
With several friends he attended, he
wearing broad band of Grape on one
sleeve and throughout the cermony he
and his friends intoned the service by
continuous, subdued and heart-breaking
moaning. Was ever so delicate a compli-
ment paid to a bride before? Had ever
a bridegroom right to be so proud be-
fore? The custom ought to become gen
eral. 1t would, by it's rude arithmetic,
give an idea Of the amounts exhausted in
vain for ice cream, theater tickets, bug
gy rides, flowers and other essentials
which are preliminary stations on the
| road which forks futher on, one branch
leading up to elysian fields, the other
down rocky grade to nowhere.
