Reveille at Five.
Corporal Abe Tyler, crawling out of
fciu warm uest to answer roll call on a
fdlzzard morning in January, 18(14, In
east Tennessee, remarked:
"When I get through with this war
after I finish it up all right I'm going
to hire that bugler to come and blow
reveille for me at my house every
morning at 5 o'clock."
"Wherefore wouldst have your sere
uade at such an unseemly hour, kind
sir?" said Tom Grogan, his bunk mate.
"Bo that I can stick my head out of
the winder and tell that bugler to go
to hell."
A REQUIEM.
Under the wide and starry sky.
Dig the grave and let W lie.
Glad did 1 live and gladly die.
And 1 laid me down with a will.
This be the verse you grave for me:
Here he lies where he longed to be;
Home is the sailor, home from the sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.

Close Quarters.
Two Irishmen were starting west in

generously gave him the lower berth.
While he himself climbed into the up

might be well to see whether his friend
was nil right, leaned over and asked,
"And how are ye gettin' on down
there, Terry?"
"Sure, Dinnis. I'm bavin' the divil
of a time gettin' In me little ham

Get Their Eyes Open.
A Democratic ii:iss meeting In the
campaign of 1!H)1 was attended by a
small boy. who bad four young pup
pies for sale. A man, approaching the
boy, asked, "Are these Parker pups,
my son?" "Yes, sir." "Well, then,"
said he, "I'll taUo these two."
About a week afterward the Ke
publicans held a meeting at the same
Ijlaee, and among the crowd was the
boy and his two remaining pups. lie
was approached by a Republican and
nsked, "What kind of pups are these
you have?" "They're Itoosevelt pups,
lilr."
The Democrat who had purchased
the flrpt two happened to be in hearing,
nnd broke out nt the boy, "See here,
you rascal, didn't you tell me last
week that these were Parker pups?"
"They were Parker pups last week,"
said the boy, "but now they've got
their eyes open."
Sir Walter Scott's Last Effort.
At an advanced period of life Sir
Walter Scott, struck with misfortune,
entered Into an engagement to liqui
date by his literary exertions a debt of
128,000. Scott staged Ms character
nnd reputation upon the fulfillment of
Ids last engagement. lie entered with
characteristic ardor upon his task, and,
omid the pressure of Increasing age
and infirmity, never lost sight of Mb
anticipated reward.
In seven years Scott had paid all but
one-sixth o! his enormous load of debt.
The prize was within view. Independ
ence st-emed almost in bis grasp, but
lie bad overtasked his strength, and dis
ease, soon to be followed by death,
came, like an armed man, and closed
the superhuman struggle.
He Was Downstairs.
At a recent dinner in Indon the
conversation turned to the subject of
lynching In the Pnited States. It was
the general opinion that a large per
centage of Americans met death at the
end of a rope. Finally the hostess
turned to an American who had taken
no part in the conversation and said:
"You, sir, must have often seen these
affairs."
"Yes," he aeplied; "we tnl?e n kind of
municipal pride In seeing which city
can show the greatest number of
lynching yearly."
"Oh, do tell us about a lynching you
have seen yourself," broke In half a
dozen voices ot once.
"The night before 1 sailed for Eng
land," said the American. "I was giv
ing a dinner nt a hotel to a party of
(intimate friends when a colored waiter
spilled a pinto of soup over the gown
of a lady at an adjoining table. The
.gown was utterly ruined, and the gen
tlemen of her party nt once seized the
.waiter, tied a rope around his neck
and nt a signal from the injured lady
swung lii in into the nir."
"Horrible!" said the hostess, with n
shudder. "And did you actually see
this yourself?"
"Well, no," admitted the American
apologetically. Klust at that moment
I bnpiictied to be downstairs killing
the chef for putting mustard in the

Potter's Good Angel.
John Potter was a plain, hardwork
ing carpenter who, just before his en
listnient in a regiment which was aft
erward assigned to Stonewall Jack
Kon's command, had married a pretty j
young girl of Staunton. Va. Jackson's 1
men never had much play or rest, and :
when the first battle came they were in
it, and so on to Appomattox. John Pot
ter was not one of those rare heroes
who "didn't know what fear was." lie '
knew very well. !nt always met It
face to face. He said he was always
"scared to death" in buttle, but be had
a curious way of showing it. When the
battle was joined and blood and ruin
were everywhere, then, wherever the
front rank of danger and fighting was
in bis regiment, there was John Potter,
with shaking legs, pale face aud tears
running down his cheeks, ready to ad
vance with the first and staying with
the last that retreated. Then and there,
without shout or boast, firing steadily,
be did his duty until the last shot had
been fired. When picket duty demand
ed special reliability, he was sent. He
might have moaned Inwardly, but he
never tried to escape. Once (I was a
capt.iiu then), when he was complain
ing of bis own cowardice, I said to
him: "If you ore half as afraid In bat
tle as you say you are, how can you
keep from running away? I couldn't."
"Why. captain," he replied, "do you
think I'd disgrace that little wife I left
at home for half a dozen such 'or'nary
lives as mine?" II. K. D.

Joseph II. it'i.oate at one time engag

very wealthy corporation. After the
business had been concluded success
fully t'hoate asked Iiuterbaeh what
1 e thought he ought to have for his
services.
"I didn't work so very hard." said
Lauterbach, "but I suppose I ought to
get $1.2(10 or $l,r.00."
"Now. I.auterbach," said Chonte,
"would you mind just leaving this
matter to me?"
"Of course," said Lauterbach. "What
you do will be all right."
Later Ohoate handed to Lauterbach
a check for $10,000 In settlement. Lau
terbach rend the check and then put
on his glasses and read It again, and
turned an admiring glance upon
Ohoate, who was smiling benevolently.

Luther's Rule.
It was n matter of astonishment to
Europe that Luther, amid all his trav
els and active labors, could present so
very perfect a translation of the whole
Bible. He had a rigid system of doing
something every day. Said he In an
swer to the question how he did It
"Nulla dies sine versu." (Not a day
without a verse.) And this soon brought
him to the close of his Bible.
The Blue and the Gray.
A sorely damaged veteran sat on the
steps of the capito! at Washington,
with a tin plate beside him, suggesting
contributions. Both legs and one arm
were gone, and there was a broad scar
across one cheek. A tall, grave, elder
ly man approached, halted, looked
down upon the veteran for two or three
minutes with interest, then drew a dol
lar bill from his wallet, laid It upon
the plate and passed on. The next
morning the same man approached in
the same manner, made the same sur
vey of the veteran, laid down a dollar
bill and went his way. The third morn
ing he had made the same halt and in
spection and laid down another dollar,
when the veteran spoke:
"You've been very kind to me, sir,
and I'm much obleeged. You must
have been a soldier yourself."
"Not kind at all, sub; not kind. Yes,
I saw some service."
"What regiment did you serve in,
sir?"'
To'teenth Virginia, suh; General
Stonewall Jackson's command."
"A Confederate soldier! Well, now,
that's real generous in a southern sol
dier to help a Union cripple."
"Not generous at all, suh. The fact
is, mh, that you're the fust damned
Yankee I've seen the very fust, suh
that's been cyarved up just to suit me
exactly, and I'm wiilln' to pay liberally
