A young minister In the course of an
eloquent sermon on the pomps and
yanities of the world staggered his
congregation by exclaiming:

you with only half shirt on my back,
while you sit there covered with gew-
gaws and other baubles.'
The next day parcel containing sew
eral brand new shirts was left at his
house by one Of his hearers, a kind
hearted old lady. Meeting the donor
few days afterward, he thanked her
exceedingly, but expressed much sur
prise at receiving such an unexpected
gift
oh said the lady, you mentioned
In your sermon on Sunday that you
had only half shirt on your back"
quite true" added his reverence
"but you seem TO forget that the other
half was I'm front"-London Answers.

ATLANTA, Ga, May "a COM
pany of infantry has been detailed By
the adjutant general to proceed to
Andersonville early tomorrow morn
ing and remain through the day 20
protect the Wirz monument, recently
erected at the site of the famous Con-
federate prison. The military order is
in response to a request from the
mayor of the town for troops TO pre-
serve peace on Memorial day.
This revives an old annual custom,
which prevailed up until the last few
years during which the national me-
mortal day has been celebrated i'm an
orderly manner on the scene of the
old Confederate prison. The recent
erection of the Wirz monument there
and the revival of the discussion OF the
question:, it is feared
may revive the troubles of the past,
when negro excursionists often
brought about a temporary reign OF
terror on the old prison ground.
