, happier set of men ! never saw. Mr.
Laughinghouses DISTINGUISHED charac-
teriStic seems to be as a leader and con-
troller of men. This was emphasized in
his early manhood, for when a mere
youth of sixteen he left Horner's School
at Oxford and iained the Confederate
army in company of Junior Reserves.
He was made first lieutenant and before
he was seventeen was elected captain of
the company. thus showing the esteem
and regard in which he was held by his
comrades.
He has always been an energetic and
persevering man. His fathers property
having been lost in consequence of the
war, he bought the old plantation of his
forefathers On credit, paying an enor-
nous sum, but by industry and thought
he paid for the farm, raised large fami-
" of children, gave them as good an
education as the institutions of the land
afforded and in the meantime has suf-
fered losses from incendiaries to the
amount OF at least ten thousand dollars.

Pope Never Takes Medicine.

do SO their lives will be spared to the
end Of their usefulness. He employs
physician to teach him what the laws Of
nature are and to advise him in the man

strong man. On The contrary, in his
childhood he suffered from chronic
nalady of tho intcstines. of which il was

his Goth year, while he was student
he vas condemned TO death from con-
sumption by the physician, and wrote
