Cursed 'em and They Started.

Some 80 years ago there lived in
northern Virginia spirited old gem
tleman by the name Of Colonel Carter,
whose habitual profanity made him
notorious throughout the neighbor-
hood. Pleadings and expostulations
were equally vain to break him. end
his friends as last hopelessly gave him
up as one to whom swearing had be-
come second nature. In the course
of time. however, the Methodists held
revival in the ncighborhood, aud
much to the surprise of every one,
Colonel Carter became converted Of
his sin and made profession of re-
ligion.
The next morning, in the woodshcd,
he interviewed his negro tcamstcr to
the effect that there was TO be no more
swearing, not even at the horses The
teamster, who was about as much ad-
dicted to the habit as his master, was
at first incrcdulous, and thought the
whole matter huge joke; but finding
the colonel to be in earnest, he pom
ised to do his best in the future to
manage the team without using pro-
fane language.
but tain't no use, nohow, massa,
he said in parting, you dun train dem
horses up to it yoself, an dc amt
gwine to go without it"
A week later the Colonel and his
teamster started out for Alexandria
with an extra heavy load of wheat.
The tcamster guided the horses over
the rough and hilly road while the
Colonel rode alongside on horseback.
All went along smoothly at first, and
the Colonel had begun to eloquently
expound the beauty of chaste language
when they struck steep,hill and the
horses stalled.
"Now don't get angry, John" said
the Colonel; Just speak to them gent
ly and they'll start again"
But the team refused to bulge.
Coaxing, patting, scolding, lashing,
were equally without avail. The colo
mel grew perceptibly red and nervous,
and the tccmster had great drops of
sweat on his brow.
"Tain't no use tryin' any mo-"
yelled the angry negro, 81 dun tole
you dis de way it gwine be-
"Well, John," replied the colonel,
! in desperation, "I'll just ride
ahead little bit, and you sec if you
can tget these horses,started and over
take me-"
And John did.

Don't Burn o Light oil Night.

The following advice from tho In
diana Farmer should be read and re-
membered by many families:
The habit is growing, | find, of
housckcepers burning a light at night,
SO that in case Of accident Que will be
in waiting. 1t is much better to have
lamp and matches convenient, so that
light can be had in moment. Some
to save Kerosene bills, keep the wick
turned low, and this is far more harm
full in it's effects than il burning full
size. One lamp burning consumes
more oxygen than several pairs Of
lungs, and tho effect upon nervous
people is to be dcplorcd. 1t is ncr-
vous people who arc most likely to
fall into this bad habit. I know one
young woman who burns lamp all
night long through the hot Summer,
with doors and windows closed, be-
cause if ventilation is allowed the in
sects will fly in, which make so much
annoyance. When reasoned with up
on the bad habit, she said that the
baby cried for it. And he cries and
frets all day because Of the imperfect
rost at night. think it would be
better to let him cry o few nights, and
have the entire household rest bet
ter thereafter, besides the great
gain in both mothers and baby's
health.

THE CALL TO WAR IN ALABAMA.

THE CALL TO WAR IN ALABAMA.
On the 11th day Of January, 1861,
Alabama, my adopted State, seeded
frcm the Union. In the same month
and year I, then planter, residing in
Dallas County, near Selma, volunteer
ed as private and joined Capt. Will
liam Boyles' 8 cavalry company. known
as the Mobile Dragons, on the Gulf
coast, near Mobile. Capt. Boyles was
a prominent lawyer Of the Mobile Bar
at that time. After serving twelve
months the company reorganized with
Capt. j. 81. Marshall, noted whole
sale merchant Of Mobile, as captain.
He was wounded in the Shieldsboro,
Miss, fight, with the 9th Connecticut,
aud was so disabled that he never re-
joined his command. Capt. Boyles
was authorized by the war department
to raise regiment. He succeeded in
doing so. This command was
known as the 56th or 57th Alabama
cavalry.
After serving in MARSHALL 8 company
part Of the ensuing year, and being
anxious to see more active service, the
coast. service consisting entirely of
scout, accommodating and skirmish
engagements, procured substitute
to take my place in the dragons and
accompanied Gen." j. w. Hardee
through Bragg's memorable march in
to Tennessee and Kentucky. Hardee
was then moving northward, via Mo-
bile, Meridian and Selma.
By way Of depression I here say
that Gen. Hardee's plantation and my
plantation, in Dallas County, Ala,
Joined with only dividing fence be-
tween; hence our personal intimacy,
and as further d gression I should
say that my substitute made gallant
and faithful soldier to the end.
In the meanwhile 7 was in active
duty in Kentucky and Tennessee, as an
evidence Of which I refer to the At
lanta Constitution, the Selma Repor-
ter, the Chattanooga Rebel and other
newspapers Of October, 1862 date, for

War, in Richmond, Va, tp whom /
