Gen.Stunrt Shaved bya Bullet.
The follwing incident is narrated
by an officer on the staff of Gen. J
E. B. Stuart, of the Confederate
army, The operation was a neat
one, but most men would rather be
shaved with a razor than with a
bullet.
Gen. Stuart, as usual, gveatly ex posed
his own person on horseback:
by riding out of the wood into the
open titld, and I felt it my duty t
say to him that in my opinion he
was not in his proper place, as in
a few minutes the whole fire of the
enemy would be concentrated upon
him.
,But he was in bad humor and an
swered curtly that if this place
seemed likely to become too hot for
me, I was at liberty to leave it ;
whereupon I made response thac
since my duty attached me to his
side, no place could be too hot for
me where -he chose to go.
Nevertheless I changed my posi
tion and cautiously brought a large
tree, in front of which I had been
standing, between myself and the
enemy.
In an instant the firing began,'
and three bullets struck the tree at
just the height to show that, had I
remained where I was they would
certainly have, gone through my
body. Looking at Stuart, I saw him
pas his hand quickly across his face,
and even at that serious moment I
could not help laughing heartily
when I discovered that one of the
numberless bullets that had been
whistling around him had cut of?

neatly as it could have been done

The Folly or Hante to l Rich.
Chancellor rloward Crosby, one of
the best preachers and best thinkers
in New York city, has an article in
the Forum for May, in which he
says.
.'"The greatest need of our land to
day is an education away from the
fearful danger of a haste to be rich,
a cultivation of the quiet and im -proving
arts, an encouragement
genial and benevolent lives, a pres
ervation of home virtues, a teaching
of the truth that moderation be&t
serves the cause of happiness, and a
demonstration that in helpfulness
to others, man best helps himself.
"While wise laws can do much to
suppress, some of the worst feature
ot the gold hunt, it is to the press,
the school, and the church that we
must look for the inculcation of the
purer' aud loftier ideas that wid
meet and ovircome the ma'erialism
which the peculier conditions of our
country have fostered, aud which tho
thoughtless minds of our youths so
readily accept." Contented minds
nre more conductive to happiness
than riches, glory or fame. In our
lite work let us remember that it
will profit us but little if we gain a
world of wealth and lose content
ment and happiness.
