why He Loved Her.

A lady from Alexandria, Va, visiting
in Philadelphia quite recently, told an
anecdote of her retiring cook which is
good enough to be told again:
Myra, the colored cook, gave notice to
Mrs. Richardson of her intention to leave
at the end of the week. Mrs. r. highly
priced the cooks abilities in the culinary
line, and proceeded to interview her in
an effort to learn the reason for her de-
parture. The following conversation en-
sued
"Myra, are you not satisfied with the
wages and the home give your"

Say, Mis- Richardson, don't you all

"Yes. But what of that?"
"Well, done gwine to tell you all de

The DRUMME ER.

The drum OF the drummer must not be
dumb
Rub-a-dub duG.9 dub-dub,
20 mother, my mc'her, the time has come
When a drummer must beat on his little
brown drum;
A voice there is and it calls to some
Rub b-a-dub- dub -duB-dub."
With little drumstick in each brown hand,
Rub-a-d dub-dub a-dub-dub,
The drummer he drummed at the head of
the band;
He drummed them to sea and he drummed
them to land
And he drummed the colors over the sand
Rub-a-dub-d dub -dub-dub,
The little gray bullets they came to slay,
Rub dub dub a -dub-dub.
And the poor little drummer he feared to
stay,
But what he feared more was to run away;
So he stayed and he drummed and he cried
'Hooray"
Rub -a-dub- dub -dub-dub.
He was shot. And they buried him under
the sand,
Rub-a-dub- dub a -dub-dub
With a little drumstick in each brown hand,
And the little brown drum, that he might
stand
At the head of the hosts. of Gods command
With rub-a-dub-dub- a-dub-dub!

INCIDENT OF STONE RIVER.
Battle In which cuhS Were ThrOwn
Aside and Fists BrovGht
Into Play.

In the battle of Stone river, the
Third Kentucky confederates charged
upon the Third Kentucky union, in
McCooks division. These two regi-
ments were raised in the same county
and were consequently old friends,
neighbors and schoomates, and now
about to meet for the first time as
enemies, says the American Tribune.
AS soon as they came near enough for
recognition they mutually ceased fir
ing and began calling each other
names and swearing at each other in
way that would have made the chap
lain's hair stand on end could he have
heard it; and all this time the battle
was roaring around them without a
great deal of attention from either
side. 1t was hard to tell which regi-
ment would come off victor in the
wordy contest.
At length, and as il by mutual con-
sent, they ceased swearing, and, grasp.

each other with the fury of demons.
In many instances the muskets were
thrown away, and, crazy with passion,
they went at it with their fists and
teeth in regular free fight style.
The confederates were getting the
best of it, and they began to fall back,
taking with them about a hundred
prisoners. At this juncture the Twen-
ty-third Kentucky, union, charged
them, rescued the prisoners and gob-
bled up an equal number of confed-
crates.
AS the belligerents were conducted
to the rear they forgot their late ami
mostly and were on the best terms
imaginable with their old friends.
They chatted and joked as if there

tween them, and, as some of them had
their canteens full of whisky, they
got drunk with their captors that
night.
