There was no attempt made to re-
move the rector on that Sunday or at
any other time, as a large army and
naval force was stationed at that port,
being the rendezvous of the South At
lantic and Gulf sQuadrons and an i'm
portant strategic point for coal and
supplies and the only southern port
held by the United States all through
the war.
Shortly after the war, in cOnSfdera-
tfon of his loyalty to his country and
through the influence of his friends in
the army and navy, he was appointed
army chaplain and stationed at Fort
Warren, in Boston harbor, for several
years, and will be favorably remem-
bered by many Bostonians of that
period. He was afterward transferred
| to Fortress Monroe, where he re-
manned until his resignation a few
years ago He then returned to his
old home in Watertown, N Y, where
he spent his remaining years.

A SOLDIERS MISTAKE.
Charged the Enemy When He
Thought He Was Fleeing to Rear.

when the first call came for troops
in 1861" said member of a Grand
Army post, 'I heard of it at the vii
lage post office in my town, and, turn
ing around to a man 1 had known
since boyhood, 1 said:
'-'Well, Jim, shall we go?
"'Sure,' he replied, and "a hours
later we were off. Jim was my com
rade and bunkie for three years, and
came home to be kicked in the stom-
ach by a mule. After we had been
in service two years we were having
a scrap with the enemy one day, when
all of a sudden Jim jumps out of the
ranks and goes charging down on
5000 men all alone He was yelled
at to come back, but he didn't seem
to hear. Some of US got the idea that
an order had been given to advance,
and we took after Jim, and in a min
ute the whole regiment was charging
1t was such an unexpected move that
the enemy broke and gigged back,
and Jim was made a sergeant for his
bravery.
He had been home a year when
he died. 1 was, called to his bedside
when he knew that he was going
The other folks all left the room at
his order, and then he said to me:

but notleast, brings to the home theva
and varied experience of DR.. Hartman,
mthe use of fcatarrh remedies, and in the
treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is dis

doctors over and over again, and been

organ. There is no doubt as to the ma
ture Of the disease. The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has tried to
cure them. That doctor has tried to
prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED To-
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that a catarrlI
remedy can be made on a large scale,
rs he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and OF
the strictest uniformity. His idea is
that this remedy can besupplied direct

for it than is necessary for the.
handling of it.
No other household remedy so uni

when there was not only no such
lighting, but not even a candle-stick
to hold the candle.
In Scotland, very many years ago, a
little boy was employed to hold the
candle during the long evenings. This
boy was the "herd-laddie'' by day, and
in the night he would sit in the CHM
ney corner holding and occasionally
trimming the piece of candle he held
in his hand. The candle was also Pc
culiar. 1t was bit of wood, cut from
q kind of fir tree which is found i'm
bedded in certain Scotch bogs. In
some parts of Scotland they still use
this kind of candle.
You will, no doubt, feel sorry for
the herd-laddie, who must have been
very tired working SO hard day and
night. I wonder whether the candle
ever wobbled as the boys arm grew
weary? Poor laddie! The only relief
this living candle-stick had from his
work was when a beggar came to the
door and asked nights lodging
Then, in return for his bed and board,
the beggar was expected to hold the
CANDLE for the evening. In some
places in Scotland even yet a candle
stick is called "puir-man," meaning a
poor man, and this is the reason for
the odd term.
I dare say the boys of Scotland are
mighty glad that wooden and metal
candle-sticks are now in use, and you,
guess, are still gladder that we have
our bright gas and electric lights to
llumine our houses. = Philadelphia

MAKING A LAWN SWING.
A Comfort and Delight for the Hot
Summer Days.

Where there are no trees suitable
for attaching a swing rope, an arti-
hcial arrangement must be made use
of, if the children are to enjoy the de-
lights of a swing. Not only are strong
points for the attachment of the rope
necessary, but shade for the swing is
also needed, since its use will be in
the hot weather of the summer. In
absence of suitable trees, then we can
erect some such framework as that
shown in Fig. 1, the four posts of
