Didn’t Know His Own Child.
At Antietam, just after the artillery had been sharply engaged. the Rock- bridge (Va.) battery was standing wait- ing orders. General Lee rode by and stopped a moment. A dirty faced driver about 17 said to him:
General, are you going to put us in again?”
Think of such a question from such a source to the general of the army, espe- cially when that general's name was Lee.
“Yes, my boy,” the stately officer kind- ly answered; ‘‘I haveto putyou in again. Eut what is your name? Your faces seems familiar somehow.”
“I don’t wonder you didn’t know me, sir,” laughed the lad; ‘I’m so dirty, but I'm Bob.”
It was the general's youngest son, whom he had thought safe at the Vir- ginia Military institute. ‘God bless you, my son; do your duty!” and the general rode on.— Washington Post.
The Art of Graceful Walking.
It would seem sometimes that the art ef graceful walking might be numbered among the lost sciences, so few women master the accomplishment or even ac- quire any approach to perfection in this exercise, which is the foundation of all others. Every one sneceeds in propelling themselves along by means of their feet, but that is not true walking. An Eng- lish authority says, ‘*The body should be held erect, the shoulders down, chest extended and the leg moved from the hip, the whole figure above being im- movable.”-—Philadelphia Times.
Overfastidious Taste,
Men overfasticious in their choice of tea have beeu victims of their too vivid imaginations. One man objected toa brand of tea purchased by his wife, pro- nouncing it “weeds,” and accordingly selected a choice kind. His next cup of tea was pronounced perfect. The co'or was good, and “‘That’s a cup of tea for you” was said with emphasis as he drank the second cup made from the ‘‘weeds” his wife had bought.—Good Housekeep- ing.
Times Have Changed.

Mr. T. Young, merciant, of Tara, Unt., is well known by thousands in and around Bruce County.
The strain cf business cares and great
tension on the nervous system seriously impaired Mr. Young’s health, which caus- ed alarm to his many friends. His case became worse and sickness and suffering continued for years. Dyspepsia, sleepless- ness, nervous prestration and loss of appe- tite were the troubles tuat Mr. Young had to battle against. The best physicians failed to grapple with Mr. Young’s troul les, and the use of ordinary advertised patents proved of no avail and could not stay the hand of disease.
Mr. Young was fortunately persuaded

A ROUMANIAN FOLK SONG. He whom I loved so well Is in his long, long sleep.
Yet I lament him not, For he told me not to weep.
More dear to him the grave Than I could ever be, For though I go to him, He_does not come to me, lenvy not the grave What yesterday was mine, But bow my head and say, “Keep him, for he is thine, But keep not, grave, my youth, Which eannot profit thee. My smile and my light step~ Oh, give them back to me.” But the grave answered, “No, For these things still are dear, Since he, dep.’ ved of them, Would be tov lonely here.” Then to the dead I pray, “Restore my youth to me, That when we meet again I be not old to thee!"
But he nor hears nor sees For his eyes like mine are dim. So to his grave I come To get them back from him, For only in the grave Are tears no longer shed And the living happy made Beside the happy dead. —R. H. Stoddard in Harper's.
Mistakes of Missionaries.
Come behind the curtain with me while I whisper into your ear a few of the mis- takes made by missionaries, who talk so much abcut the mistakesof the heathen. One evening an English missionary in Peking took a friend who was visiting him to @ regular Chinese theater. It happened that the play for that evening was a burlesque on foreign preaching. A Chinaman dressed up to represent a foreigner came upon the stage with his arms fall of books, attended by lsis Chi- nese servant. He began to preach a mock sermon, making the mistakes in talking which a foreigner is likely to make. These rnistakes were received with bursts of laughter from the audience, to whom the books were distributed. The fun
came to a climax when the preacher, after delivering a sentence particularly full of laughable mistakes, turned to his servans and said: ‘tHow did | speak? Did I do pretty well?” and the servant replied with great gravity: ‘‘The foreign teacher speaks the Chinese language ex- ceedingly well. No mistakes at all were made.”—New York Independent.
An Invention For Steamships.
An English mechanical genius has de- vised « method of indicating and stop- ping a leak by the use of compressed air. He divides a ship into airtight compart- ments, fitted with doors provided with packing material and connected by tubes with a room on deck called the ‘‘#witch room.” In this room is a junction chest supplied with eompressed air from fixed or portable compressors and so arranged that the air can be delivered to any of the compartments. Other tubes lead from the compartment from which wa- ter ean be foreed out when required, and electric indicators are also connected with the switch room to indicate the ac- cumulation of water in any of the com- partments. Should the vessel ‘‘spring a leak” the indicator will show which coin- partment is affected, so that the com- presseci air may be forced in to drive the water out.—Boston Journal.
True Love Side Tracked by an Orange.
A young lady said the other day that she hated oranges because one had come between her and her lover. He had called on her one evening, and after sit- ting awhile had produced a couple of bright Florida oranges out of his pocket and suggested that each eat one. She now says that she cannot drive out of her mind the sight of his nose, cheeks and chin dripping with juice, and he has been whispering something horribly sim- ilar about her. Evidently you cannot love a yzirl and a citrus aurantium at the same time.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
Evading a Law.
When Ben Butler was a young iawyer the selectmen of Lowell, then a town, issued a mandate that all dogs should wear muzzles. The next morning Ben walked. down town, followed by his big Newfoundland dog, with a very small muzzle tied to the end of its tail. Ben remarked, ‘My dog is wearing a muz- zle.” A callow imitator cf Ben living in Ward One has fastened a bicycle bel! under his saddle and anticipates mucn fun when a blue@eat stops him because he has no bell on his *‘bike.”—Springfield Eomestead.

He answered without words. The firm clasp of bis strong arms about her sob- ehaken body was all the assurance that she needed.
“Madeline,” he said, after this fervent greeting, “you must speak.”
“T cannot.”

Again he begged her, implored her. Again she denied him. At last she whis- pered sadly :
‘D.k, dear Dick, how much more must wy silence mean tome than it can possibly mean to you. Do not urge me. Nothing can sbake my resolve. Ifa drags me to disgrace and ruin, eo be it. That is betcer than it would be were I to di-grace and ruin others whom I love, by clearing myselt of this terrible charge.”

spirit of self--acrifie which reaches its highest deveFOpment in woman, could in- duce tbis girl, who, in his eyes at leass, combinea iu her person the loftiest ele- ments of a pure and noble character, to submit for one moment to the degra iation of a perscn suspected of a vulpar-like theft. He realized, now, too, how great was the battle before him. He was con- vinced that nothing but ber own words could clear Madeiine of the accusation, aud that the most impressive motive which a woman can feel had sealed her lips te the speaking of tho-e words. For a moment he was utterly discouraged.

It was with the feling that on the next two minutes hung his forlorn hope, that he spoke next. ‘The words came slowly, aud he fixed a gaze of intense werutiny ou her face as he uttered them.
“Thou:pson is the name gives by that evil second cabin passenger—”
The sign came, Madeline started for- ward with agonized expectance in her face, and eyes aln ost starting from her head.
“Oh, Dick,” she cried. “He has not confessed, has he? He i mot suspected and under arrest is he? Geeat God, Dick tell me that it is not true 7” :

American Lerity. Singularly enough it appears that Poe, the only absolutely distinct genius our country has yet produced, was incapable of humor and that even his levity was artificial. Hawthorne, next to Poe in originality and far above him in style, was but meagerly equipped with smile provoking material. Bryant, our great-
all)
est poet, maintained a lofty seriousness throughout his work.
It may be sacrilege to say so, but the truth is Lowell was the founder of our levity. He never could be quite a relia- bly serious thinker, but could at any mo- ment break off intofunmaking. Humor is good in a fresh and natural state, but so fis a peach. Cut and dry either, and you havea poor article for a regular diet. We Americans have fed upon laughable things until our faces show the wrinkles of a grin even when in solemnest repose. We are mover sure of one another, but must wait awhile after wich communi- cation to find out whether or not it is a joke. The effect of highest sincerity cannot be reached in the ynidst of all this hurly burly of chaffing voices. How.can one be serious while exerybody else is grimacing?—Chautauquan.
There Was Just One Man.
There is a gallant congressman whe once had the reputation of sowing wild oats broadcast. When he was first run- ning for congress, many breezy stories were told about him. At last he gave it out in the heat of his campaign that he would speak shortly in defense of his morals. It was a Populist district, and he had a big audience. The speech every ene liked, but until the jast sentence not a word was spoken about the advertised ‘ect. At the last the candidate stuck hie kad under his desk and pulled out several boxes of imported cigars.
‘<Ganélemen,” he cried, ‘I am accused of having certain bad habits. Particular instances keve been alleged in fact. I wish to make some one in this assem- blage a presentof a box of good cigars. If there is any see here who has never done whst I jhave done, will he please step up and -take it?’ No one moved. For a long time the big crowd kept si- lent. But an old Baptist minister in a far back seat after awhile arose and said in a high, squeaky,voice, ‘Colonel, I don’t smoke.”—San Francisco Argonaut, A Minister of the Gospel is Pleased te Tei’
