Count the Mercies.

Number all the gifts of love;
Keep daily, faithful record
Of the comforts from above.
Look at all the lovely green spots
In life's weary, desert way;
Think how many cooling fountains
Cheer our fainting heart each day,
Count the Mercies! Count the Mer'
cies!
See them strewn along our way!
Count the Mercies, though the trial:
Seem to number more each day;
Count the trials, too, as mercies.
Add them to the grand array.
Trials are Gods richest blessing
Sent to prompt our upward flight
AS the eaglets' nest, all broken,
Makes them fly to the loftier height.
Count the Mercies! Count the Mer
cies!
That bring heaven within our sight.
Let US number all our jewels,
Let US estimate their worth;
Let US thank the gracious giver
Strewing blessings DER the earth;
Let our hearts o'erflow with glad
ness,
Let US tell the wonders DER,
Till our multiplying treasures
Seem countless, boundless store;
Then let praises, grateful praises,
Be our language evermore.
We carry an elegant line of la
dies and misses coat suits. Give US
a trial and we will save you some
money.

Thus when about a dozen uhlans

was no able-bodied man to protect the

heartily, then began to make remarks
which frightened the mother, who ran
to hide In the cellar, where she had
already concealed her two daughters.
Presently the uhlans began to search
the house. One came down the first
steps to the cellar and shouted In
French:
See here, madame, were there no

Where are they?"
Terrified. the daughters crouched
behind a large barrel. Seeing only

Paris.-Although regimental stand

and painter. Most of the French and
German regiments carry their colors

eral desperate fights for these silken
trophies, the hercest recorded being
that for the standard of the Sixth
Pomeranian regiment, which now
hangs in the chapel Of the Invalides
for the inspection Of French sight
seers. The story of its capture IL told
by a French dragon whose regiment
brought back the trophy.

''our guns supporting the dragons had

enemy, thinking that we were in re-

regiment, doing terrible execution and
throwing the whole column into con-
fusion.

lances. The Germans rallied and
formed into a square, but the volleys
they fired were not sufficient to break
the charge, and we rode over them.

We did not realize the motive of their

a demand for surrender, but the only
reply was a volley which sent 20
horses cantering riderless back to our
lines. Our officers ordered a charge
