General Sheridan told a correspondent,
at Florence, in regard to his observation of
the Franco-German war, that in the first
place he saw very well that the Germans
were "walking
over the track," and sec
ondly, that he did not find any important
advances 'upon the tactics already adopted
by American strategists. But with regard
to the national defence of France, General
Sheridan considered that the want of good
cavalry had prevented the French com
manders from repulsing their invaders,
and he estimated that a flying column like
his own, vigorously directed, would have
cut the Germans all to pieces and liberated
Paris long before now.

The "Grasshopper War," which took
place about the time the Pilgrims came to
New England in the Mayflower, between
two Indian tribes, was brought about in
this way: An Indian woman, with her
little Son, went to visit a friend belonging
t 3 another tribe. The little fellow caught a
large grasshopper on the road and carried it
with him. A lad from the other tribe
wanted it, but he refused to give it up. A
quarrel ensued, which soon drew the fathers
and mothers into the dispute, and ere long
the chiefs were engaged in a war which
nearly exterminated one tribe.

Hold Fast Below,
A party of Irishmen, wee upon a time,
contracted to clear a very deep well.
"Having none of the usual conveniences
employed for such purposes, they were at
a loss to get one of the party on a little
ledge near the bottom to assist in the
process of getting out water, mud, etc. At
last Jimmy Phelan, a herculean fellow,
proposed a plan which was consider just
the thing.
It was this: Jimmy was to clasp his
big Ssts around the windlass; then another
of the party was to clamber down and
hold on by his legs, and so on until the
last man should be able to leap upon the
ledge.
Being slightly corned with liquor, the
party prepared for the decent, without
stopping to contemplate the difficulties
involved in the adventure.
With bared breast, and sleeves tucked
up, big Jimmy seized the round portion
of the windlass directly over the well and
swung himself over. Another of the party
crept down Jimn — VFl7ol dy
by the boots. After severer more had fol.-
lowed suit, and the human chain began to
stretch far in to the well, Jimmy became
alive to one grate difficulty; the windlass
did not afford him a good hold in the first
place, and the weight was getting intoler
able. _ .
At last human sinew could stand it no
longer, and Jimmy hailed the lower link
in the chain with :
“Be jabers, Pat howld fast below till
sphit on me haus.
Suiting the action to the words, lie re
leased his hold, when, of course, the whole
party was preciptated to the bottom of the
well. As luck would have it, there was
more mud than water where the Hibernians
lit, an they wisely considered themselves
particularly fortunate in escaping without
actual loss of either life or limb.

The Corner Lounger.
The young squirt on the corner, with
his hat a little on one side, the stub of a
cheap cigar in his mouth, and a stare for
every lady that passes, is a loafer Do you
know where he gets his money ? His mother
earns it for him by taking in washing.
Poor soul ! she thinks her boy will get
work soon. Ile could find work enough
to keep him busy from early mourn until
evening, if he wanted it, but he is a lazy
loafer, and don't want work. If he gets a
place, he neglects his work, or does it so
poorly he is soon discharged. Ile never
wcrks for the same man twice; or. perhaps
he is particlar what kind of work he does.
He is willing that his mother or sister
should sew or wash to earn money for him
to spend, but he is a little particular
as to the work he does. He looks
down on that sweaty carpenter who hur
ries past him, nods condecendingly to his
friend, the shoemaker, and sends a whiff
of smoke into the eyes of bedaubed pain
ters, with both hands full of pots and
brushes. He couldn't borrow 10 cents of
any of them. They know he would never
pay it. They earn their money. He begs
of his mother a part of her hard earnings,
at an age, too, when he is capable of putting
his shoulder to the wheel and adding a little
towards the support of himself and little
brothers and sisters.
The Dandy.
The effeminate man is a weak poultice.
He is a cross between root beer and ginger
pop, with the cork left out; a fresh-water
mermaid found in a cow pasture with
hands filled with dandelions. He is a
teacup full of syliabub ; a kitten in panta
letts ; a sick monkey with a blonde mus
tache. He is a vine without any tendril ;
a fly drowued in oil; a paper kite in a dead
calm. He lives like a butterfly—nobody
can tell why. He is as harmless as a cent's
worth of spruce gum, and as a shirt but
ton without a hole. He is as lazy as a
bread pill, and has no more hope than a
last year's grasshopper. He goes through
life on tiptoes, and dies like cologne water
spilt over the ground.

The Heavenly. Race.
The race-course, one of the great amuse
ments of the apostolic age, furnished the
apostle Paul with a most striking and beau
tiful illustration of the Christian life. The
ancient races were of intense interest. The
vast amphitheatre is crowded with interest
ed spectators. In the distance is the crown,
made of ivy, oak, or laurel—intrinsically
of no value, but earnestly sought as a re
ward of successful physical effort. The
competitors arc selected, and enter the
course—the race begins—all eyes are fixed
on the runners. Father, mother, brother,
sister, are saying, "Will my son, my broth
er win ?" The runners are stimulated to
tax all their powers to the uttermost in
view of the thousands of witnesses whose
eyes are upon them.
What a scene for the apostle : He seizes
it. and applies it to the Christian life.—
Every Christian is a runner, and the great
est possible preparation should be made for
the race. Every incumbrance should be
laid aside, and the sin to which we are
most naturally inclined, either by our con
stitutional peculiarities or the circumstan
ces in which we may be placed. Business
perplexities, sinful propensities, inveterate
prejudices, lifeless formalities, unbelief,
pride, covetousness, auger, needless indul
gence, will seriously hinder us in the spir
itual race-course. Patience is required.—
The nature of the contest is such that pa
tience will be needed in its meet perfect
state.
The eye must be fixed on Jesus. He is
the "Author and finisher of our faith." and
consequently, He will sustain it. He has
overcome; so we are to look to Him as hav
ing triumphed. As lie triumphed, so shall
we; He gained the crown, so shall we. if
we are successful in the race.
The cloud of witnesses—who are these ?
Doubtless the departed ones. some whom
we have known, our fellow-laborers, sonic
of them members of our own household, the
dear ones of' our hearts. The saints of
olden times are in the cloud. The apostle
gives us a list of some of them in the 11th
Aseor Abel WWI& the list..
The first to enter heaven. he vet speßketh
Enoch, who was translated that he should
not see death ; Noah, the preacher of right
eousness, who yitnessed the dreadful scene
of the destrnetilit of the world's inhabitants
by the flood;. and Abraham, the friend of
God, who could offer his dear Isaac in sac
rifice, are in the Cloud.
What witnesses ! They are looking,
lowing us along the race-course. How anx
ious ! "Will he win—will he Lee ?" they
exclaim ; and the scene brightens, and they
become jubilant on the arrival of the dear
ones who had struggled hard for the crown
of life.
ow inspiring to think that the dear
ones—those we have known and loved in
other years, with whom we have taken
sweet counsel, and with whose spirits we
have held sweet communion, though safe
beyond the conflicts of life—have not for
gotten us, but are interested for us still :
That mother—dear name—with what anx
ious solicitude she watched over my early
years, . . _
" And taught my roving feet.
To tread the heavenly road!"
she is thinking of me still, and her auxiou
eye follows us along the race-course. That
dear little one—an angel now—that early
gained the prize, is among the witnesses.—
They know our struggles and conflicts, and
how often do they whisper. when we are
fainting, or growing weary. -Be of good
coor on—endure a little lono.er."
and then exclaim, comes d'ulice,;-
mother, brother, sister, child!" What
greetings, what eestaciesare there ! Friends
separated by death are now in each other's
embrace—safe at last
Will not heaven be surpassingly sweet.
after the conflicts of the raee ? weloe.k
over the dangers and difficulties of the
course, will not our joy swell to raptures
that we triumphed and gained the prize:
And, donbtlem, we shall then understand
something - of the feeling of the sainted
Whitfield who said if he ever reached
heaven, the fact that he found himself
safely there, would be the greatest wonder
that he should ever find in that world.

The Secret of Good Work.
• Some years ago I was brought in con
tact with a colored man. He was nothing
but a cobbler—he said himself he was not
a decent shoemaker, and I can testify to
that from some experience of his work.
But if not elegantly done, it was thorough
ly done, and that was the point. He told
me that when he became too old and crip
pled to work in the field and house, he
took to cobbling. I said to him.
"My friend, after this cobbling on earth
is done, how about the other world ? Have
you any hope for a better world?"
-Ah, master," said he. sin nothing,
as I told you, but a poor cobbler, but I
feel, when I sit here and work at my stool,
that the good Master is looking at me. and
when I put on a heel tap. it is not paper,
but good leather."
It is not the work we do upon earththat
makes the whole of life, but it is the way
in which we do that work—it is the mo
tive, "Thou, God, seest me."
Cheerfulness- - 4s half one's own good
