Letter In Gun Stock.

Calvin h. Childs, member of E.
d. Baker Post "a, G. A. r., Of Clinton,
has a relic Of the Civil War which he
has valued as such for number of
years, says the Boston Globe, but
which he now considers more valuable
because Of recent discovery that the
firearm has hollow stock In which
Johnny Reb concealed some letters
and mementOes of the times.
John Bennett, Of South Lancaster,
at the time of the war, went to Peters
burg, Va, in search of his brother-in-
law, Horatio E. Turner, news of whose
injury had been received. He did not
find the man and it was ascertained
later that, being wounded, he was cap
tured and died in the prison pen at
Andersonville.
While on the battlefield at Peters
burg Mr.. Bennett picked up Confed-
crate rifle and brought it home with
him. He retained possession Of it un-
til his death, and few years ago
his widow gave the gun to Mr.. Childs.
A few days ago. the latter was en-
tertaining his nephew, Fred Corliss, of
Palmer, who, noticing popularity Of
the stock, made an examination with a
screwdriver and a secret compartment
was disclosed in the wood.
Included in the contents was a letter
dated Richmond, Va, Jan. 8, 1862, "
as follows: my dear friend John:
How are you getting along? l wish I
could see you. hope that when we
meet again we shall be one. 1 will
send you my picture and hope shall
be better farther on. The Yanks are
coming this way but we will fix them,
SO keep good upper lip. We will
make all things ring when we meet.
Good-by, love, from your dear Little
Mary Lee" And then the usual fem
mime postscript, by the way, we are
going to send you turkey; We should
before but the Yanks stole them all
1 tell you If those Yanks come here
they go back right smart in a hurry"
Other articles in the cavity were

That true love is oft betrayed?

Her front teeth are decayed.

Insurinu AGAINST Twins.

An English gentleman of limited
means had married recently into a
very prolific family, says Leslie's
Monthly. There was prospect of an
addition to his household.
Twins" reflected the gentleman,
"are much more expensive to support
than one child" And he sent his
broker TO one of Lloyd's underwrit'
ers. The underwater set an actuary
to look over the vital statistics and
mako a few calculations. Then, for
the sum, | think, OF twenty-five gum
cas-, he insured the gentleman In al,
900 against the advent of twins.
This somewhat threadbare tale
shows fairly both sides Of the game
of insurance The evident side Is
chance The underwater invited a
loss Of a97315.0 for which he would
have nothing to show. The other
side
The point of the story is that the
lady presented her impecunious hus
band with one fine son. The under
writer, deducting, say, G2 as the
value OF his time and his actuary's
set down net profit Of f24.5.0, fol
which he had advanced nothing-but
the risk, science.

Revenge Of the Hawks.

There is an interesting bird story
current in Bristol, r. l., according to
the Providence Jourpa' Last spring a
man employed on large estate in that
town disturbed nest of fish hawks.
The result was that at least one OF the
young died.
This spring the mar has been go be-
set by two fish havNs, thought TO be
the father and mother whose young he
threw out of their nest last year, Tat
he has not been able TO do any sus-
tanned labor on the place. The hawks
flew about him close to his head, and
sometimes when he was not prepared
for it they struck at him with their
bills. Finally the owner of the es-
tate had to discharge the man. His
successor has been undisturbed by the
birds, which seem to be we'll satisfied
with their revenge.

The Boston Globe says that in this
country we have been long familiar
with the complaint that II is hard to
get Americans TO enlist in the navy or
engage in the marine service. On top
Of this knowledge comes the news
from Canada that IL has been found
practically impossible to garrison the
fortifcat.ons at Halifax and Esquimalt
with Canadian troops. IL is probable
that both In Canada and the United
States the condition responsible for
this reluctance of young men TO enlist
Is the very condition OF national pros

are so numerous and widespread that

One day a customer, Mr. Caldwell,
called and asked: Mr. c., are

"Mr. Lords oxen hauled them up"
replied the busy shoemaker
Thinking his question had not been
understood. his patron asked again:
Are my shoes done?"

II may break the hearts of certain
newly rich persons to be forced into
the background, but II seems that the
giving of costly presents at weddings
is ceasing to be required absolutely,
says the New York Press. Glad news,

Quaintances are married off. A glad
some morning sun Of relief has
beamed in this springs season OF wed
dings. Judging from the displays OF
presents there is a revival OF the Gus
tom, long considered old-fashioned, OF
sending framed etchings and engrav-
ings. That the giving of silver has
been overdone was shown recently
by the announcement that one of the
wealthy young brides of last year had
sent large quantity OF such gifts TO
a secondhand shop. Dealers in etch-
ings and engravings say that within
the last two months they have sold
more pictures for wedding gifts than
In any like period in the last ten
years. AS these pictures range from
$50 to 5000 in price ard sre reproduc-
lions Jy famous etchers OF even more
famous paintings, they are acquisitions
to any home and the chances OF dupli'
cation are decreased materially.
