Driver, a former sea captain of Salem
Mass. who had sailed from his native city
with the old Flag into many distant sea
and displayed it at many a foreign port,
still held it dear to his heart, and while
the rebels We're in possession of the city
in which he then resided, kept it concealed
as one of his dearest treasures. Upon the
first opportunity after their departure he
again flung it to the breeze with the same
feeling of pride with which he caZed upon
it when he trod his quarterback. and. with
all the enthusiasm of his nature. hailed it

gan, G.. A. r., Lansing, Michigan:
TO THE PUPILS OF TIE HIGH SCHOOLS OF

His Brains Needed Dyeing.
(SuCceSS.)

The problem of the unemployed middle
aged would be solved if everybody kept
himself 20. two or three times over. in
stead of advertising every year, by new
signs, age in spirit as well as in body. A
man of vigorous bearing. with fresh mind
and ideas. will have little trouble in get
ting employment, not matter what the
number of his years may be.
We know many interesting old people of
20 or so who have never allowed them
selves for a moment to think they were
old. If you should suggest that they are
old they would resent it. They feel young
because they have not allowed themselves
to dwell upon the signs of age. They have
not allowed their minds to grow old, and
the body cannot grow old while the mind
is young.
William Mathews tells of venerable
parishioner who took his gray-bearded
pastor by the beard and said: You would
better dye these. for, if you leave your
present charge, no one will call you with
such badge of advanced life" Mr..
Mathews adds that, if this was one of the
languid, spiritless old men to be found
in the ministry, as well as in other call
ings, at was his brains, that needed dye
ing, not his .whiskcrs."

outposts Of the enemy; but there was no
hating or diminishing; the Michigan men,
with yells. charged the enemy, following
their retreat to their very camp opposite
the bridge 80.
Custer, snatching large bowie Knife
from one of the prisoners, urged his horse
across the stream to the front of the re-
mainder of the regiment. and swinging the
weapon above his head shouted. THE
rebels say we can't stand cold steel. l
captured this from one of them. Forward.
and show them that the Michigan boys
will give them all the cold steel they
want
The regiment fired volley across the
stream, and under severe but wild fire
of the enemy dashed through the swamp
and across the river, holding their bayo-
neted muskets above their heads until they
reached the camp of the enemy, who. thus
beset on flank and front and confused by
the Suddenness of the attack, fed, routed,
from the valley.
Our loss was only one killed and seven
wounded. The Confederate loss. accord
ing to the official reports of two of the
Colonies, was q killed and 90 wounded
and 43 missing. The bridge and 81 pris-
oners were captured. Upon hearing of
the result Mcclellan rode rapidly through
the rain to the bridge and personally
thanked the officers and men engaged for
their victory and gallant conduct. He at
once sent the following dispatch to the
