THE KEMHIOI'K CiRO I'LVIKK.
A private soldier, by the name of
Richard Lee, was taken before the
magistrates of Glasgow for playing
cards during divine service. The fol
lowing account is given:
A sergeant commanded the soldiers
at the church, and when the parson
had read the prayer, he took the text.
Those who had a Bible took it out, but
the soldier had neither Bible nor com
mon prayer book, pulled out a pack of
cards and spread them before him.
lie first looked at one and then anoth
er The sergeant of the company see
ing him said—
"Richard, put up the cards ; this is
no place for them."
"Never mind that," said Richard.
When services were over, a consta
ble took Richard prisoner, and brought
him before the Mayor.
"Well," said the Mayor, "what have
you brought the soldier here for."
"For playing cards in church."
"Well, soldier, what have you to say
for yourself?"
"Much, sir, I hope."
"Very good; if not I will punish
you severely."
"1 have been," said the soldier, "a
bout six weeks on the march. I have
neither Bible nor common prayer
book. I have nothing but a pack of
cards, and I hope to satisfy your wor
ship of the purity of my intentions."
Then spreading the cards before the
Mayor, he began with the fice.
"When I see the ace it reminds me
that there is but one God.
"When I see the deuce it reminds
me of Father and Son.
"When I see the tray it reminds me
of Father, Son and lloly Ghost.
"When I see the four it reminds me
of the four evangelists that preached
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
"When I see the five it reminds me
of the five wise virgins that trimmed
their lamps; there were ten, but five
were wise and five were foolish and
were shut out.
"When I see the six it reminds me
that in six days God made heaven and
earth.
"When I see the seven it reminds
me that on the seventh day God rested
from the great work which he had made
and hallowed it.
"When I see the eight it reminds
me of the eight righteous persons that
were saved when God destroyed the
world, viz: Noah and his wife, his
three sons and three wives.
"When I see the nine it reminds me
of the nine lepers that were cleansed
by our Saviour ; there were nine out
often who never returned thanks."
"When I see the ten it reminds me
of the ten commandments which God j
handed down to Moses on the tables of
stone.
"When I see the King it reminds
mec.f the Great King of Heaven,
which is God Almighty.
"When I see the queen it reminds
me of the Queen ofSheba, wko visited
Solomon, for .-he was a woman as he
was a man. She brought with Iter
fifty boys and flfty girls, all dressed in j
boy's apparel, for King Solomon to j
fell which was which. *
"He sent for water for thorn to wash.
The girls washed to the elbows and
the boys to the wris,. .-<> King Solo-|
men told by that."
"Well" said the mayor, "you have
described every card in the deck ex
cept one."
"What is that
"The knave," said the nvavor.
'
,4 i wlii give your he: or A <
(' nof that too, if you prpinis" not to ;
~ X
"I will not if you do not term ntfT
the knave."
"The greatest knave I know of is the
constable that brought me here before ,
you."
"I do not know," said the mayor,
"if he is the greatest knave, but I
know he is the greatest fool."
The soldier continued :
"When I count how many spots
there are in a pack of cards, I flud
three hundred and sixty-live, as many
days as in a year.
"When I count the number of cards
in a pack, I And fifty-two, the number
of weeks in a year.
"I find there are twelve pictQro cards
in a pack, representing the number of
months in a year, and on counting
the tricks I find thirteen, the number
of weeks in a quarter of a year.
".So you see a pack of cards serves as
an almanac, Bible, and common pray
er book."
A NiXtiILAR AMI TERRIItLF. STO
RY.
[Taugipahos (La.) Cor. Cin. Enquirer.)
80011 after General Hancock took
command Gen. Mower was ordered to
Ship Island in command of a negro
battalion. He was soon there joined
by his family, one of which was a
daughter of about seventeen years, ve
ry interesting and accomplished. Al
ways brought to believe that a negro
was as goocLas a white man, and in ma
ny things superior, she of course
thought it 110 harm to encourage the
advances of one of the ebony race.
Accordingly shesawand admired one
of tbe soldiers or her father's com
mand. Clandestine meetings were had,
and so progressed from one step to an
other, until at last the colored visitor
i discovered occupying the same couch
with her, where, rumor says, he had
been for ten consecutive nights. Gen
eral Mower arrested the offend ing ne
gro, and without trial sentenced him
to be hung. Preparations were made
immediately, and while the rope was
around his neck, behold the whole ne
' gro battalion broke out in mutiny,
and released the prisoner, seized Gen.
Mower, and under pain of death ex
tracted from him an oath not to ever
hereafter trouble their comrade, or ev
er mention this occurrence to a living
soul—after which the General was re
leased. Subsequently, it was discover
ied that these interviews had been
[ kept up for two or three months previ
| ous; and to add horror to horror, the
! daughter was discovered to be in an in
teresting condition, since which time
the General has brought her to the ci
ty. We can judge for what purpose.
I do not vouch for the truthfulness
:of the above. I give it to you as I re
| ceived it—a rumor—but one that is gen
' orally believed.
But now for the contrast. About the
time Gen. Sheridan was relieved a ne
! gro was tried in Carrolton, Jefferson
! county, Louisiana, and convicted before
the District Court of rape 011 a white
girl and sentenced to be bung. The
sentence was submitted to Sheridan
for approval, and his reply was : "I
can see no reason why the sentence of
the Court should not be executed." —
This was about the time he took his
leave, and the papers were left with
Mower, who afterward revoked Sheri
dan's approval and the sentence of the
; Court, and ordered the negro to be im
| pri-oned for ten years instead of being
! hung. Many at that time, were the
; prayers that justice might overtake
| him (Mower), and if the story of his
j daughter be true, justice certainly has
i followed him.
NIGGER BY BREVET.—A western
paper proposes that, inasmuch as we
have in the army brevet generals, bre
vet colonels, Ac., and its things are rap
idly tending to the debasement of the
white man to a level below the darkey,
it may become necessary for Congress
to provide for the rank of brevet nig
ger, or niggerly brevet, i here is some
force in tills suggestion, and, however
lightly the reader may esteem it, there
is a really practical illustration of it.
During the war the quartermaster's de
partment paid negro teamsters with
the army twenty-five dollars a month
and rations, whilst the white soldiers
of the North were obliged to perform
the same work at sixteen dollars a
month—the ordinary pay of an enlis
ted man. It is said of an Illinois sol
dier, who was put to mule driving,
that he sent a written application to
his captain asking to be promoted to
"nigger by brevet," so that nine dol
lars a month should be added to his
pay, with the right to steal without
being subject to punishment according
to army regulations.

AN Ol.n STORY
Many* years ago a celebrated Italian j
artist was walking along the street of J
his native city, perplexed and despon- '
ding in consequence of some irritating I
circumstance or misfortune, when !ie
beheld a little bov of such surprising
and surpassing beauty that he forgot |
his own trouble and gloom hi looking
upon the almost angel face before him. *
"That face 1 must have,'' said the '
artist, "for my studio. Will you come !
to my room a 1 sit for a picture, my!
little man?"
The little boy wa- glad to go and see ,
tin pictures ami p n ils and curiosities >
in the artist's room; and he was still j
more pleas- :i when he saw what seemed '
to he another boy locking just like him
smiling from the artist's canvas.
The artist took great pleasure in look- '
ittg at that sweet face. When he was,
troubled, or irritated, or perplexed, he j
•! ! s cves to that 'ovely image on i
j . „ >;u\
expression calmed his heart and made I
him happy again. Many a visitor to j
hisstudiowished to purchase that lovely j
face; but, though poor, and often want- j
iog money to buy foud and clothCs, he ;
would not sell his good angel, as he
called this portrait.
Iso the years went 011; oftentimes as
he looked up to the face on the glowing
canvas he wondered what had become
of that boy.
"How I should like to see how he
looks now ! I wonder if 1 should know
him? Is he a good man, true, or wick
ed and abandoned? Or lias lie died
and gone to a better land ?"
One day the artist was strolling down
one of the fine walks of the city, when
he beheld a man whose face and mien
were so vicious, so depraved, so almost
fiend-like, that he involuntarily stop
ped and gazed at him.
"What a spectacle? I should like to
paint that figure, and hang it in my
studio opposite the angel-boy," said the
I artist to himself.
The young man asked the painter for
I money, for he was a beggaras well as a
thief.
"Come to my room, and let me paint
your portrait, and I will give you all
you ask," said the artist.
The young man followed the painter
and set for a sketch. When it was
finished, and he had received a few
I coins for his trouble, he turned to go;
but his eye rested upon the picture of
I the boy ; he looked at it, turned pale,
and then burst into tears.
"What troubles you, man?"said the
1 painter. It was long before the young
j man ceroid spcaK. ire sontjeci aloud,
' and seemed pierced with agony.
At last he pointed up to the picture
on the wall, and in broken tones which
seemed to come from a broken heart,
he said :
"Twenty years ago you asked me to
i comb up here and sit for a pici ure, and
the angel face is that portrait. Behold
me now, a ruined man ;so bloated, so
hideous that women and children turn
away tiieir faces from me ; so fiend-like
that you want iny picture to show how
ugly a man could look. Ah! I seenow
what vice and crime have done for
■ inc."
The artist was amazed. ITe could
■ not believe Ids own eyes and ears.
"How did this happen?" he asked.
The young man told his sad and
dreadful story; how, being an only son,
and very beautiful, his parents petted
and spoiled him ; how he went with
bad boys and learned all their bad hab
its and vices and came to love them ;
how, having plenty of money, he was
enticed to wicked places fill all was
lost, and then, unable to work and a
shamed to beg, he began to steal, was
caught, and imprisoned with the worst
criminals; came out still more de
praved to commit worse crimes than
before; how every bad deed he per
formed seemed to drive him to cora
| rnit a worse one, till it seemed to him
! be could not stop till brought to the
1 gallows.
It was a fearful tale, aiul brought
tears into the artist's eyes. lie be
sought the young man to stop, offered
j to help liini, and tried his best to save
j him. But alas !it was too late. Dis
ease, contracted by dissipation, soon
j prostrated the young man, and he
died before he could reform. The
painter hung his portrait opposite
that of the beautiful boy ; and when
visitors asked him why he allowed
such a hideous looking face to be there,
he told them the story, saying as he
! closed, "be'ween the angel and the de-
I inon there is only twenty years of
| vice."
The lesson of his tale is in the tale it
self. You who read it can tell what it
is. Think of it often, and heed it al
ways.
A WITNESS.— A Yankee, having
told an Englishman that he shot, on
one particular occasion, nine hundred
and ninety-nine snipes, his interlocutor
asked him why he didn't make'it a
thousand at once.
"No," said he; "not likely I'm go
ing to tell a lie for one snipe."
Whereupon the Englishman rather
riled, and determined not to be undone,
began to tell a long story of a man
having swam from Liverpool to Bos
ton.
"Did you see him?" asked the Yan
t kee.
"Well, of course I did. I was com
-1 ing over, and our vessel passed him a
j mile out of Boston harbor."
"Well, I'm glad ye saw him, stran
; ger, because yer a witness that I did it.
i That was me."

THK TEETII OF .1 IIOKNI..
At live years of age a horse has forty
teeth—twenty molar or jaw teeth,
twelve incisor front teeth, between the
molars and incisors; but usually want
ing in the mare.
At birth only the two nippers or mid
dle incisors appear.
At a year old the incisors are all vis
ible on the first or milk set.
Before three years the permanent
nippers have come through.
At four years old the permanent di
viders next to the nippers are cut.
At five the mouth is perfect, the sec
ond set of teeth have been completed.
At six the hollow under the nipper
called the mark, has disappeared from
the nippers and diminished in the di
viders.
At seven the mark has disappeared
from the dividers, and the next teeth
or corners, are level, though showing
the mark.
At eight the mark has gone from the
corners, and the horse is aged. After
this time, indeed, good authorities say
that after five years, the age of the
horse can only be conjectured. But
the teeth gradually change their form,
the incisors becoming round, oval and
triangular. Dealers sometimes bishop
the teeth of old horses; that is, scoop
them out to imitate the mark ; but
this can be known by the absence of
the while enge of the enamel which al
ways surrounds the real mark, by the
shape of the teeth, and other marks of
ago about the animal.

Charleston papers republish Cal

to it much significance. It is as fol

"The blacks and the profligate whites
that might unite with them, would be
come tlie principal recipients of the
Federal offices and patronage, and
I would, in consequence, be raised above
j the whites of the South in the political
I and social scale. We would, in a word,
i change our condition with them,a deg
radation greater than has yet fallen to
the lot of a free and enlightened people,
and one from which we could not es

which it certainly will if not preven-

young lady stepped into one of the
street care the other day, and dropped
her handkerchief upon a vacant seat,
as iiiuh as to say "taken," while she
advanced to the other end of the car
to deposit her fare. Meantime a nicely
dressed young man jumped in and sat
down on the handkerchief without ob
serving It. The young lady, after pav
ing her fare, turned back, discovered
to her chagrin her seat was occupied,
and set down oppsite, ladies making
roojn for her. But she did not desire
to lose her handkerchief, so she looked
intently toward the place where she
had left it, hesitating whether to ask
for it or not. Discovering the direction
of her looks, all eyes on the opposite
side of the car were soon bent on the
young man. Finding himself the ob
ject of so much attention, he himself
looked, and discovered to his horror
something white on which he sat, the
end peeping out. He mistook its char
acter. To cover it with his han ', and
to tuck it nicely away, was the work
of a few moments. None in the car
but the young lady knew that the
"something white" was a handker
chief, and hesitating still more to ask
him, she lost it.
