Seventeen years' Experience Hearse Service Anywhere 30i lommor 10 They Should Have Taken the (irape Vine for a Badjre During ihe Civil War one little incident occurred which will illus trate the dry wii for which General Jubal Marly was so well known. After General Sheridan had been pressing upon the Confederates in the Shanandoah Valley for nearly the w hole season General Rosser was sent from the Army of liastern Virginia to General 'Harly's assis tance. General Rosser's men had been doing brilliant service and were so elated with their various triumphs that they had adopted the laurel leaf as a badge and al lowed themselves to be called the "Laurel Brigade." When these valiant warriors came to the disheartened soldiers in the Shanandoah Valley they spoke with ease and gayety of the short time it would take them to clear the valley of the troublesome Yankees and have everything their own- way. Strange to say, however, in the first engagement Sheridan's troops drove the "Laurel Brigade" back and chased them fully twelve miles at a most animated but disorderly gait. General liarly made but one sin gle comment upon this circum stance, and that was when he en countered General Rosser a day or two after the tight. "I say, Rosser," he remarked slowly, "hadn't your brigade bet ter take the grape leaf for a badge? You know the laurel isn't a run ning vine." Youth's Companion. SPRING ARITHMETIC. J WIS)!

T.W.WGQD & SONS, Seedsmen, Richmond, Va. Slowly o'er the distant iiimintains sinks the glowing sun to rest, Gilding with its lingering splendor the horizon of the West. And the twilight, softly falling over forest, field and hill Brings the hour of peace and comfort, bidding all the world be still. Save the faint and hollow murmur of the distant waterfalls,' Or some bird returning homeward, to its mate a greeting culls; Save the far-off droskey tinkle from jhe herd upon the hill, All the sounds ai length grew fainter, nature sleeps the world is still. Now are seen amid the darkness fires glowing warm and bright, j For beside the Rappahannock two great armies meet to-night; On its banks they build their fires, on the sod their arms they lay; i On one bank the Blue are camping, on the other side the Gray Soon there conies from o'er the river strains of music loud and grand; Tis the sound of martial measure from the Union army's band; And "We'll Rally Round the Flag, Boys," was the soul inspiring air. ' Now at length the strain is ended, and the army of the Gray I Quick the challenge has accepted, but another air they play; "The Bonnie Blue Flag'' in lively measure, with its accents sweet and clear, ' Giving hope to every soldier, driving from them thoughts of fear. ! Then again from o'er the river, from the gallant boys in blue, ! Came the notes of "Hail Columbia," loud and joyous, firm and true, Swelling like the voice of nations, borne on wings of music grand; j Born within the hearts of freemen, uttered by the Union band. i Scarcely has the lingering echo from the mountain died away, When "Away Down South in Dixie," from the army of the gray, Speaks their dearest wish and purpose, tells of hopes as strong and true, As were those so dearly cherished by the army of the blue. Sweet the sound of martial music, floating on the evening air; Terrible their dark forebodings that their lively measures bear; To the ear it brings its beauty, to the heart the trobs of pain; Thus together joy and sadness blended in the same refrain. All is hushed. The silvery rippling of the river flowing near, And perhaps the fagots crackling are the only sounds they hear, Not the faintest echo answers from the hills now lost to view, All are wailing for the answer from the army of the blue. But within one soldier's bosom there is borne a pentler strain, And his comrades' untrained voices join him in the sweet rafrain. But it bears no word of challenge, has no thought of party pride, For its visions are of loved ones, and the hallowed fireside. "Home, Sweet Home," thenntcsllo.it upward, out upon the quiet night. Others now have caught the meaning, and their melody unite, As the chorus still is swelling every voice prolongs the lay, Rendered by the words and music from both the blue and gray. Fuller, stronger grows the music, swelling upward through the air, Even to the gates of heaven, and perhaps it enters there, Where the notes are sweetly blended with angelic singers' lay, Blending, all in one giaiul chorus, there is known no blue, no gray. The song is o'er, the closing measure softly now has died away; But we hear no challenge further from the blue or from the gray, For the theme so aptly lined to each weary soldier's heart Brooks no thought of civil warfare, and no words of hate impart. As each soldier, worn and weary, on his humble couch is lain; Something in his dusky features lake awoy the powder stain, Can it be the dews from heaven, falling on the sleeper's face ? Or do tears thus undiscovered down the soldier's features trace? J. T. Kenower. The Uev. Charles Steize .says a great many of us worry be cause we are drifters, and have no ilelinite plans in life. In other words, we have cut loose from our moorings, anil have thrown both clmrt ami coin pass into the sea ami are drift ing hither and I hither. We are : like thel'ellow who said. "I don't know where I'm going but I 'in on the way." Or like the dog j that snt. lonely, in the railroad j t station because lie chewed up j his tag. j It doesn't matter so much ' I what your occupation may be j whether it's in the home, the ! farm, the school, the oflice, the j sllun oe etnro vour lifo will Ion ' j immensely relieved from anxi i et y and the petty worries if you have some big ideal, the striv ing after which makes every little worry seem like the peb bles on the highway to the strong traveler who is journey ing home. These are mere in cidents in his progress and he is mindful of them because of the goal just beyond. It is definiteness, then, which brings calmness. The assur ances that one is on the way and not merely drifting brings courage in time of storm. With not a ship in sight and no land to be seen any where, with noth ing but a waste of water all about, the captain of the ocean steamer is nevertheless calm and serene. His course is work ed out. He has a compass which directs him and a chart to show him the way. It's a mighty good thing, once in a while, to stop and ask yourself, "What is the purpose of my life? Is there anything toward which 1 am working? Or is life merely a succession of daily jobs?" 'Tis all true, and we commend it to our young men of all conditions in life. If you want to get along and accomplish anything, have definite, well digested plans and your success is assured. It may not come in a gallop, but it will come, certain and sure.

How They Make Love To The Commoners. : When the reigning queen is to be married she must be the one to ! broach the subject first to her fu- ture consort, says the Western Scot. The same rule holds good with regard to all royal ladies who j marry commoners. Queen Victoria has told how she managed to put the question to ' Prince Albert how she showed him Windsor and its beauties, and the distant landscape, and then i said: "All this may be yours." The Queen of Holland, on a like occasion, simply sent a sprig of : white heather, begging Prince I Henry to look up its meaning in a 1 book of flowers and their mean I ings. I But perhaps the most interesting of all ways chosen was that of the i Duchess of Fife. She took the j earl, as he then was, to a drawer i and showed him its contents, j There he saw a number of trifles 1 he had given her at different ! times, including sprigs of several ! kinds of flowers, now dead, he j picked for her at different times. I He was much impressed at the i sight, nor uiJ it require words on , her part to make her meaning i , . i plain. !
