Companion.

tion," said Col. Ainsworth; lit is u
moral question. We may lose money,
but we must keep our moral stand
ard high"
Not everyone present agreed with
him, and the advocates of the other
side were many and strong. The
colonel sat down and wiped his fore
head with a handkerchief which he
held in his left hand. His right hand
was gone.
Just then another man with an
empty sleeve rose, and in clear, strong
words supported the colonel's resolu-
ton. eve are public-spirited men,
said he. eve are Christian men, many
of us, and all of us ought to be. We
must settle this and every othe:
question, as in the sight of God.'
The colonel did not know his ally,
but went to him at the close of the
meeting, and common friend, who
was standing by, introduced them.
They shook hands, Col. Ainsworth with
his left hand, and Maj. Hemphill with
his right.

asked the major.
AT Perrysville," said the colonel.
"Where did you lose yours?"
AT Vicksburg," said the major.
''Who was your commander" asked
the colonel.
"Gen. Pemberton," said the majcr.
"Oh!" said the colonel. $50 you
were in the confederate army?"
II was," said the major. "But we
have fought ON the same side to-day"

the two men stood side by side on
every moral issue. The other men,
bers soon noticed it; nor did the
united opinion of the two men, who
had once been divided, but who now
stood shoulder to shoulder, fail to
have its weight with the committee.
eve are soldiers together in the
army of the Lord" said the major,
repeatedly.
One day, after strong argument
on the question of the Sunday OPEN
ing of the exposition, the two men
went arm in arm, the right arm Of
the one entwined in the left arm of
the other. When next the commit
tee met, the major came in early, and
found the colonel already there.
Colonel" said he, Il stopped to
buy a pair of gloves this morning,

He handed over the left glove.
There was something in the act
that brought tears to the eyes OF

And so they did till one dav not
