Among the pleasant remembrance
of long stay at NatcheZ during the
Civil War, writes Mrs. Ellen Biddle
in her "Reminiscences of a Soldiers
Wife," is that of beautiful bluea and
white French organdy muslin. She had
noticed it in shop window and great
ly admired it, and her husband urged
it's purchase. But she had recently re-
ceive<l box of gowns from New Or
leans, and felt that she did not need it.
Still he tempted me, saying, eff VOC
will make it yourself, will not only
buy the material, but you can buy any
Valenciennes lace you may want To
trim it with"
He we'll know my weakness; there
was nothing / loved so much as a biz
of lace, real filmy, beautiful old lace
| hesitated, however, remembering SO
well the time when first married, he
gave me a twenty-dollar gold piece
when gold was scarce, if | would make

Many times I threw the thing down.
declaring 1 would try no more to f1rA-
ish it, when the colonel would quietly
say, But you have spent the twenty
dollars; and l would go to work
again.
He was anxious for me to learn TO
sew, knowing 1 might have it to dO
some time when away from ciyillZs-
ton, as we were apt to be.
The lace tempted me, and the muslin
was bought Fortunately for me, jusE
at this time the beautiful Mrs Mars
ton came to Visit us, and under her dI
rections the gown was built and was
a thing of beauty for many years, and
greatly admired.
The making Of it developed a latent
talent, for afterward, when we lived on
the frontier and / could not have sew
ing of any kind done, with the help Of
the nurse | made everything chat my
children and 1 wore. SO the colonel
did not lose greatly In the end, and L
was benefited.

OF $500 to $500 and fruit will average
$3.50 to 5000 per acre. An acre of ap-

Certainly, Lieutenant Mcclure" he
answered

were spluttering in the ground or sing

us go back a few PAGES" Then l con-
tinued:
Colonel Mulligan, hope you will
not misjudge me, but must speak now.
There is no food or water in the camp;
there has been none for four days The
dead of the past ten days are unburied;
for ten days We have been looking for
re-enfOrcements, but none have como.
and we feel that you can consistently
and honorably surrender your forces"
He looked at me moment, and sud-
denly his eyes flooded with tears, After
an interval of silence he said:
Lieutenant Mcclure, l accept your
suggestion as the wisest thing to do,
Go back to Captain Simpson and say
that l will at once order the adjutant
to lower our flag and 1 will ask for an
armistice''

heard great shout, a rebel shout. We
looked for the cause and saw our flag
being lowered. For the time being we
forgot our hunger and thirst and weari-
ness in the greater anguish of knowing
that the fiag-our flag-had to be lOw-
cred to its enemies
AS a rule, the soldier delights to tell
of his victories, but in the surrender
Of Lexington, Mo-, there has been all
these years a feeling of thankfulnesS
in my heart that was the one to make
the suggestion to Colonel Mulligan.
Our men accepted parole at once,
but Colonel Mulligan's officers declined
parole, preferring to remain with him
while a prisoner. Thirty days later
General Price told us that he was 60
ing to break camp and that if we still
declined the parole he would do the
very best he could for us, but he felt
it was mistake on our part still TO
decline the parole. Colonel Mulligan
advised us to accept the parole-th4t
a special cartel was being arranged by
Price and Fremont whereby we could
soon be exchanged. 1t was the latter
part of October when we reached Set
dalia, Mo-, General Fremonts head
quarters. He had 10000 soldiers I'm
camp, camp Of great pomp, but he
never made a move to help Colonel
Mulligan. Although Fremont had been
one of the idols of my youth, with the
siege Of Lexington the halo that enveE
oped Fremont in my ardent admiration
quickly faded away, and left him in
my memory as simply a man too small
for the duty intrusted to him.-Thomas

The late Gen. Joseph Wheeler told
this story as illustrating the firm be-
lief which prevailed In Tennessee dur
ing wartime as to the efficacy of
prayer.
There had been a summer religious
meeting ia one Of the rural districts.
No rain, it seems, had fallen in a long
time; everything was about burned up.
Consequently, the preacher concluded
his prayer with this appeal for rain=
"Oh, Lord. we need a refreshing
shower! Be pleased to send us the
blessed rain, SO that the dropping vege-
tation may be reyiyed-oh, Lord! none
of those light, drizzly rains, but regu-
lar ground soaker! A heavy rain, oh,
Lord! But not heavy enough, good
Lord, to raise the Cumberland river so
that the Yankee gunboats can come in
and take Nashyille!"

HYMNS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW
The Everlasting Rock.

Inc everlasting MOCK.
o, God, the rock of ages,
Who evermore hast been,
What time the tempest RACES,
Our dwelling place serene.
Before thy first creations,
0 Lord, the same as now,
To endless generations
The everlasting thou!
Our years are like the shadows
On sunny hills that lie,
Or grasses in the meadows
That blossom but to die;
A sleep, a dream, story
By strangers quickly told,
An unremaining glory
Of things that soon are old.
o thou, who canst not s1umber,
Whose light grows never pale,
Teach us Alright to number
Our years before they fail;
On us thy mercy tighten,
On us thy goodness rest,
And let thy Spirit brighten
The hearts myself hast blessed.
Lord, crown our faiths endeavor
With beauty and with grace,
Till, clothed in light forever,
We see thee face to face;
And joy no language measures,
A fountain trimming DER,
An endless flow of pleasures,
An ocean without shore.

SHORT METER SERMONS.

SHORT METER SERMONS.
Vindictiyeness is the jaundice of
memory.
A large heart does not go with the
big head.
He who has work has no will to
wander.
It's hard to be convincing without
convictions.
Conceit of ourselves breeds no conf
dence in others.
Serving two masters is stealing from
one or both.
He is not brave who does not fear to
do the base thing.
No man knows whether he is brave
until he had to stand alone.
The good that shall be tomorrow is
the good we can see to-day.
No man is true to the truth of to-day
who does not press beyond it.
A lot of faith in eternal damnation
has come out of present bad digestion.
When your religion is nothing but
listening it hears nothing from heaven.
The amount of any mans possessions
depends on his powers of appreciation.
Faith is the power to discount the
toll of the night by the promise Of the
day.

but we do not discharge our debts to
him by the erection of monuments or
the writing of poems in his honor.
He who talks of himself as self
made thereby gives evidences of the
incompleteness Of the process of his
making, his powers Of self-understand-
ing are undevelOped. A thousand lives
60 into the making of the least life.
None can live to himself nor by his own
spirit of independence, but the fact of
Indebtedness none can escape.
What self-respecting man would be
content to eat at anothers table, to be
clothed at another's expense, and make
no sort of recompense? Yet in what
manner does such a course differ from
ours if we live day by day with no
other thought than to get more and yet
more out of life for ourselves. Human
ity Is our host. Even the bread we
eat and the clothes we wear we never
could gain for ourselves unaided; the
efforts of all mankind have been nee
essary to their production.
Even for our food, our clothes, not to
mention other and greater benefits, we
never can pay with money. We may
earn the loaf, but who shall pay the
sower of long ago, the miller, the me-
chanic, the thinker, the pioneer who
gave their lives to make our wheat
fields and turn them into bread?
Sheer business honesty with life will
force us to ask, How can | pay these
debtors? What return can l make for
all that I have received? The answer
is simple, that we should do for hui
manity what humanity is doing for us,
that since we are recipients we should
be givers, that we should be led by
that law of love that already has
wrought for our blessing.
If to lives of long ago we owe faith
and freedom what good things are our
lives passing on to those who follow
us? If through the service of our fell
lows we are enriched to-day to what
extent are they enriched through our
service? We have received; have we
given?
There is no gain to the life that is
all getting. 1t loses itself. Such a
life is a parasite, an abnormality and
deformity in a world where giving is
the law of living. No other life is
quite so empty as that which thinks
only of filling itself and never Of en-
riching others.
One can lay aside all sentiment here
and see a plain business proposition.
We are debtors to our fellows, we owe
those of the past and those of the pres
ent; what are we but defaulters if,
knowing these things, we continue
evading the payment of our debts, con-
tinue with greed seeking only to get
and never to give?
Such a course is the saddest kind Of
suicide Yielding to self-love the man
ignores the claims of his fellows or
hides them under sophistry and, CIV
ing himself to gains, is surprised to
find life so barren, so disappointing.
Defying life's law of love he has lost
the power of loving, the sensibility of
love, the prize of life itself, the power
Of living.

Strong chemical fertilizers should
not be given too layishly to growing
plants. Nitrate of soda is good as a
source of nitrogen, but you can not
grow plant in pure nitrate of soda,
acid phosphate and other actual food
substitutes; not even if they are mixed
with the most consummate skill. LOOK
at a clay soil; it is generally regarded
as a pretty poor one for growing plants,
but it has more actual units of food
in it than any other sort Of soil you
can take. and it is improved by throw
ing in the solid grit of sand or the
rubbish of ashes from the furnace.

THE MOST DANGEROUS DEBT.


lowe no man anything, but to love
one another. Romans, 10 3.
Many a man who prides himself on
paying his way and On being out OF
debt would be in absolute bankruptcy
if compelled to square his accounts
with life. He may have paid for all
the goods he has bought, but he has
failed to make any adequate return for
the good that has come freely to him.
Life is much the business of paying
to the present those debts which we
owe to the past, Of putting into the
universe and back into our humanity
at least part of that which we have
drawn for our own enriching from
these resources. Love is life's great
law, because love is the principle of
self-giving in action.
We are all debtors one to another.
No man can avoid the Indebtedness for
the sacrifices which men have made be-
fore him. which alone make possible
his present advantages. You may boast
that you owe no man anything, but
what of your fathers toll for you,
your mothers devotion? What of the
price paid by the founders of our ma
ton for the civil liberty which you en-
joy?
Our creditors stretch far back, a long
line beyond our ken. Some man long
ago conceived a great principle. the
enunciation and defense of which cost
him his comfort, strength, and, at
length, his life At that cost he pur-
chased our right to live in the freedom
of that principle. We call him hero !;
