Rough on the Chaplain.

During the campaign of 1864, from
the Wilderness to Petersburg, our
corps. the Ninth passed within a quar-
ter of mile of the mansion of ex-
President Tyler. Two of our chaplains
(they always hunted in couples) visited
the house and made themselves de-
Cidedly at home on the veranda. The
ladies of the family, not rellshing the
intrusion. gave them a very decided
invitation to vacate the premises. One
OF the chaplains put on very long
face, stated his vocation, and replied
rather softly, BE careful in refusing
hospitality To strangers, for you may
be entertaining angels unawsres."
Thank you" the lady answered; III
God sends an angel to visit us, he
won't come smoking a pipe, or with q
crew OF tobacco in his mouth" They
vacated.

The other correspondent, who must
have had taste for nstural history
wrote as follows:

THE corners and interstices of each
shell might be filled up with a few
quarts of tarantulas, scorpions, and
centipedes to make close work, as the
snakes would not pack it closely"
If these brilliant suggestions were
over carried ont, history does not re-
cord the fact though it was generally
believed that Billy Wilson's men could
stand anything but bullets.

6-pounder, with about forty balls
The smaller cannon, however, was no,

miles in a wagon, so 1t was 1 o'clock
Thursday before the bombardment

the show was not without its draw

there is in most things and the man
who operated the rebel cannon was
sort OF caricature artist. Only three

that the seminary was the only safe

was not wholly to blame. He was fir

OF cannon and balls was not reversed
or the soldiers might have been set to
work with their jackkniyes to white
the balls down to fit the gun. Mean
while the Federal soldiers inside the
building sent out an occasional volley
of bolts and screws; but their position
was anything but agreeable.

In Japan the women arrange their
hair in manner SO ingenious that q
person can tell at once whether any
woman whom he sees Is a maiden who
desires to get married or a widow
who is inconsolable or one who is
willing to be consoled If the proper
sutton presents himself.
Young girls arrange the hair in front
in the form of fan or butterfly and
adorn 1t with silver or colored orna-
ments; widows who are looking for
second husbands fasten the hair at the
back OF the head by means Of tortoise
shell pins, and widows who are re-
solved to remain forever faithful to
their departed spouses cut the hair
short and wear no ornament in it.

In one Of his charming stories DR.
we have often occasion to bless our
friends for their enthusiasms. This Is
a very attractive little sentence, and
gives us one more occasion to bless DR..
Van Dyke, who is always putting into
shape for lis our unspOken thoughts.
The enthusiasms of our friends are SO
many outlets from our own narrow
lives Into the wide sea Of experience.
But 1t sometimes occurs to one to won
der why it Is that more people do not
have enthusiasms. Those who are en-
thusiasts, of one sort or another, are
out OF life and give more to others
than the colorless people whom we all
meet too often. But some people
actually seem to think enthusiasm vul-
gar, not to be countenanced in polite
society! The truth is rather that the
person without enthusiasm for some.
thing Is profoundly to be pitied. And
If one is naturally not enthusiastic
what then? But this, like all other
arts can be cultivated. You know the
old rhyme:
THE world is so full of number of
things,
I think we should all be as happy as
kings"
1t is zest in life. enthusiasm in the
pursuit of some object that makes PEG.
pie interesting and that takes us out
Of ourselves and makes life interesting.
Do we not all know the uplift, the
sense of new life, of fresh power, that
comes from contact with one who Is an
enthusiastic lover of art, Of books, of
nature, of music, or even of something
quite outside our usual line of thought?

Ho ~ @ Decoration.

Inside decoration OF the home, II
done in the proper manner, has no
slight influence upon the character of
growing members Of the family.
Healthfulness should be considered of
prime Importance, and from this stand
point there is nothing that equals hard
wood floors, these being covered by
rugs instead Of carpets. Carpets are
not only unhealthful, but are a source
Of much labor at house cleaning time.
Beauty in arrangement does not neces-
sarily 90 hand in hand with tho mul-
tiplicity Of furnishings. Neat photo
graphs of good paintings are much
more to be desired than large, cheap
chromos. BY the use Of paper, and
especially the ingrains, much more
