The hour of parting had now come,

Greatly oppressed we returned to
to the parlor not knowing what the

Just now the boom of cannon is

from the gunboat "Avenger," this
report is followed by another, and
still another. We fear for the

HE KNOWS ONE THING WELL.

Several years ago Tom began as Of
fee boy in a wholesale grocery house.
He learned the business, and in course
of time was sent out on the road.
He returned crestfallen, without an
order.
Did you call on all the storekeep-
ers in Blanktown?' asked the mer-
chant.
Yes, sir"
And you received no orders?"
NO" replied the embryo salesman,
mot one
That's strange" said the mer-
chant. Most of the storekeepers in
that town are good customers of ours.
What did you say to them?"

Did you display your samples or
ask them to purchaser"
"Oh, no. If they'd wanted to buy
anything, they'd have told me,
wouldn't they"
The merchant looked at the young
man in silence for few moments.
Tom" he said, I'm afraid you'll
never make a salesman. I'll put you
on the books"
So Tom became an assistant book
keeper. He was proficient and re-
ceiyed fair salary.
The years rolled on, Tom became
middle-aged, and no one thought much
about him any way. One day he
knocked on the door leading to the
firms office and was admitted.
What can we do for you, Tom?''
asked the merchant.
Want a partnership" said the book
keeper.
WHAT

Something in the mans lace at

made me an offer of tenth interest.
The merchant investigated and
found that his obscure hookkeeper
knew more about molasses than any
other man in the trade. Tom was ad
m;tted to the firm and died worth
quarter of a million dollars.
Tom knew one thing we'll. Quietly
ami persistently he had perfected him

and had become an expert OF experts

his $4,000 troops at the Bruins
burg plantation, which is five
miles above Sandy Point" my
fathers plantation, situated on the
east bank Of the Mississippi rive
seventy.fve miles below Vicksburg.
We are almost frightened to
death at the idea of being so near
an invading army, but fortunately
for US, the Federals have taken the
hill road to Jackson, Miss, which
increases the distance between
them and US. Thank Heaven for
this move. say we all.
