( ieneral Frank Cheatham, who i
was us daring as lie was big-hcart- j
ed, and was die idol of his entire 1
j command, had, as everymidy
; knew, a decided tendency towards
! the use of language as lurid as it
was unrestrained, and was in the
j hahii of "Idling" Ins men, as Mr.
Kipling says, by the inspiration of
what might he called his compell
ing wurds.
I)urni! the terrible battle of
ChicLiniaiiga, when victory wa
vered in the balance and the gray
lines seemed faltering in their
dreadful advance, General Cheat
ham began shouting his Far-Famed
battle rally, "Charge 'em, boys,
charge 'em, and give 'em hell !"
At which, General Polk, the sol
dier bishop, seeing that his own
men had needed also to be rallied
and being debarred by his priestly
calling from what seemed the most
effective battle cry, began shouting
loo, "Charge 'em, boys, charge
'em, and give 'em, and give 'em
what General Cheatham says !"

! A SKEPTIC.
BY W. L McLKOD. ;
Lines suggested by the declaration of a minister thai the best way to
enjoy religion was to endeavor each day to put more "f heaven into
some other heart.
"Put more of heaven into some other heart"
As you journey along life's way,
Then the foretaste of glory will enter your own
And abide with you day by day.
'""I'm more of heaven into some other heart,"
As taught by the Master Divine,
And then unto you there surely will come
A sense of the feeling benign.
Put more of heaven into some other heart,"
To do this may we all be inspired,
And daily minister to "one of the least"
Of His who are weary and tired.
There are many despondent in life's busy mart,
You meet with them day by day;
C'on't you "put more of heaven into some other heart"
As they travel life's weary highway?
A word or a smile, as we journey along,
These in life play a wonderful part,
And are potent and powerful factors to "put
More of heaven into some other heart."
"Put more of heaven into some other heart,"
And what is the guerdon, pray?
"You shall be of Mine," the Master hath said,
"When 1 make up My jewels that day."
"Put more of heaven into some other heart,"
And the blessing will come to thee;
For Christ says, "As ye did it to one of Mine
Ye did it unto Me."
O Jesus, Beloved, dear Master and Friend,
Our guide and exemplar Thou art,
We pray Thee to help us each day that we live
To "put more of heaven into some other heart."

THE OLD FAMILIAR FACES,
I have had playmates, I have had companions,
In my days of childhood, in my joyful school days
All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.
I have been laughing, I have been carousing,
Dt inking late, silting late, with my my bosom cronies
All, all are gone, the old familiar Faces.
I loved a love once, fairest among women;
Closed are her doors on me, 1 must not sec her
All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.
I have a friend, a kinder friend has no man:
Like an ingrate, I left my Friend abruptly;
Left him, to muse on the old familiar faces.
Ghost-like, 1 paced round the haunts of my childhood,
Farth seemed a desert I was bound to traverse,
Seeking to find the old familiar faces.
Friend of my bosom, thou more than a brother,
Why wert not thou born in my father's dwelling?
So might we talk of the old familiar faces
How some they died, and some they have left me,
And some are taken from me; all are departed,
All, all are gone, the old Familiar faces.
Charles Lamb.

The attorneys for the prosecu
tion and defense had been allowed
fifteen minutes each to argue the
case. The attorney for the de
fense had commenced his argu
ment with an allusion to the old
swimming-hole of his boyhood
days. He told in flowery oratory
of the balmy air, the singing birds,
the joy ol youth, the delights oF
the cool water
And in the midst of it he was in
terrupted by the drawling voice of

We are not an especial admirer j
of Billy Sunday, but we arc willing ;
to admit that he says some good
things, of which the following are
samples:
A PLEA 1 OK WHS.
"Roys, don't take a girl just be
cause of her looks when she's all
fussed up. Go call on her. Stay
till about 10 o'clock. Go home,
but leave your glove or something
and go back the next morning,
early. II' she meets you with her,
air in curl-papers, a shoe, on one
foot and a slipper on the other,
take to the woods and and don't
wait for the glove. IF she is in a
neat working dress, with her
sleeves rolled and a ribbon
or thing-um-ma jig in lir hair,
grab her quick.
"And you married men: Brag
on your wives while you've got
'em. Give them flowers and can
dy once in a while; tell tnii you
are glad to have them around. ;
And you'll see that old bent back
bent in mending your socks and ;
getting your meals straighten up
on the installment plan Try it.
"Don't wait until they're six
feet underground and then ..frVr
them flowers and say, "Heiv,
smell these.' It's too late then A
whole lot of money is spi-nt tor
tine caskets that should have been
spent for a hired girl. The only
reason some men spend money on
their wife's funeral is to try to pull
-he wool over another woman's
eyes. 1 know a man who explain
ed his selection of a wife on the
ground that she bore the reputa
tion of being the best worker in
the neigborhood. I know another
man who bought a mule on die
same recommendation. Think ot
the mockery of a tombstone in
scription, 'At Rest,' over the body
of a woman who has worked her
self to death for some mean, stingy
hatchet-faced husband."
TH1:. HOME AND TUL MOTH1-K
IF it had not been for the expos
tulaiions and the pleadings oF his
mother George Washington would
have become a midshipman in the
British navy and the name ol thai
capital yonder would have been
some oilier. John Randolph said
in the house of representatives, if
it had not been for my godly moth
er, I. John Randolph, would have
been an infidel.' Gray, who
wrote the 'Flcgy in a Country
Churchyard,' said he was one of
a large Family of chil 'ren that had
the misfortune to survive their
mother.
"The training of a Martin Luther
or a John Bunyan is greater than
the training of a Caesar or an Al
exander the Great. To launch a
boy for Christ is better than
launching a battleship or a cruiser.
"That glittering pillar down
there on the banks of the Potomac
is George Washington's monu
ment, but it is nts mother s monu
ment, too.
"Back in 1 850 an American
went across the seas, died and was
buried in a foreign land. Who
was it sleeping in that coffin which
was brought back on the deck of
an ocean liner plowing the seas?
What battles had he fought? None.
What statue had he carved? None.
What great oration had he deliv
ered ? None. He had simply
written a little song. John How
ard Paine had written, 'Be it ever
so humble, there's no place like
home.' "
The street faker reaps a golden
harvest when he faces a crowd
(hat wants something for nothing.

trates to the congestion and starts the
