And with ballots as with bullots be will find them

And the Oraybaeks aj the CopperBoads will l'cafn

That our Yankee lads will ne'er forget the wearing

They may weep for Stonewall Jackson, and bf Lee

While we shout for Appomattox, and roto for Gene

But no rebel Gray thi'.l evor stay the loyal Boys

And they 'll never flinch, or give an Inch, while

TALES AND SKETCHES.
a XAt.v: fi'ou ,vivi;w.
"Now this is Trhat I call comfort," said
Madge Ilarlcy, as she eat down by her
neighbor's fire, one evening ; "here you ore
at your setring, with the kcttlo steaming
on the hob and the tea things steaming on
the ti'.U'.e, expecting every minute to hear
your husbnud"s step, and see his fuce look in
nt the door. Ab 1 if my husband was like
yours, Janet 1"
"He is liko nike in many of his ways,"
said Janet, with a smile, "and if you will al
low me to speak plainly, ho would be still
more like him if you took more puins to
make him comfortable."
"What do you mean?" cried Madge;
"our house is as clean as yours, I mend my
husband's clothes and cook his dinner as
carefully ns any woman iu the parish, aud
yet ho never stays at homo of an evening,
while you two sit hare by your cheerfuPErc
night after night na happy as can be."
"As happy as can bo on earth," her friend
said gravely, "yes and I shall tell you the
secret of it, Madgo."
"I wish you would," 6aid Madge with a
deep sigh, "it's misery to live as 1 do."
"Well, then," sa'id Janet, speaking slowly
nnd distinctly, "I lut ray husband see that I
love him still, nnd that I learn every day to
love him more. Lovo is the chain that binds
him to his home. The world may call it
folly, hot tho world is not my lawgiver I"
"And do you rcat'.y thiuk," exclaimed
Madge in surprise, "that hnsbands care for
that sort of thing ?"
"For love, do you mean ?" asked Janet.
"Yes, they don't feel at all as we do, Ja
net, and it don't tako many years of mar
ried life to make them think of a wifo fcs a
sort of maid of all work."
"A libel, Madge," said Mrs. Matson, laugh
ing, "I won't allow yon to sit ia William's
chair and talk So."
"Xo, because your husband is different,
and values his wife s love, whilat.Jobn cares
for mo only ns his housekeeper."
"I don't think that," said Janet, "although
ho said to my husband tho other day that
courting time was the happiest of a man's
life. William reminded him that there is a
greater happiness thau that even on earth if
men but give their hearts to Christ. I know
John did after his opinion, but ho ' went
away still thinking of his courting time as
of a joy too great to be exceeded."
"JJear follow," cried Madge, smiling
through her tears, "I do believe he was hap
py then. I remember I used to listen for
him as I sat with my dear mother by the
firo longing for the happiness of seeing
him."
"Just so," said Janet. "Do you feci like
that now 1"
Madge hesitated. "Well, no, not exact
ly." "And why not I"
"Uli, I don't know," said Madge; "mar
ried people give up that sort of thing."
' "Love, do you mean i" asked Janet a sec
ond tiino.
"Xo, but what reoplo call the sentimen
tal," said Mrs. Ilarloy.
"Lougir.g to see your husband is a very
proper sentiment," replied Janet.
"But some people are ridiculously foolish
before others," reasoned Madge.
"This proves they want sense. I am not
likely to approve of that, as William would
soon tell you; all I want ia that wives
should let their htiBtands know they are
still loved."
"But men are so vain," said Madge, "that
it is dangerous to show much attention."
Iler friend looked up. "Oh 1 Madge,
what are you saying ? Have you then mar
ried with that notion that it is not good for
John to believe you love him I"
"No, but it is not wise to show that you
care too much for them."
"Say I and hiin ; do not talk of husbands
in general, but of yours in particular."
"He thinks quite enough of himself al
ready, I aasuro you."
"Dear Madge," laid Janet, smiling,
"would it do you any barm to receive a lit
tle attention from your husband I"
"Of couase not. I wish he'd try ;" and
Mrs. Harley laughed at tha idea.
"Then you don't thiuk enough of your
self already I and nothing would make ydii
vain I suppose t"
Madge colored, and all the mote when
she perceived that William Matson had
come in quietly, and was cow standing be
hind her, listening to Janet's words j and to
confess secretly that they were wise.
Hours passed before John Harley returned
home. He was a man of good abilities And
well to do in tho world, and having married
Madge because he truly loved ber, be bad
expected to have a happy home. But, part
ly because be was reserved and sensitive,
and partly because Madge feared to make
him vain, they bad grown cold toward each
other ; so cold that John began to think the
alehouse more comfortable place tbsn his
own home.
That night the rain FcH'in'torrents; the
Wind howled, and it was not until the mid
night hour arrived that Ilarlcy left tho pub
lic house and hastened towards bis cottage.
He was wet through, when ho at length
croEsed the threshold. Ho was, ns he gruf
fly muttered "used to (but;" but ho was not
"used" to the tone and look with which hit
wife drew near t'o'welcahie liifcv; nor to find
warm clothes by tho crackling fire and slip
pers on the hearth ; nor to hear no reproach
for the late hours, and neglect, and dirty
footmarks, as he sat in his armxhain Some
change has collie to Madge, ho was very
sure. She wdre a dress he had bought for her
years ago, with a linen collar round her
neck, and had a cap tflnimed with While
ribbons on her head. ,
"You're smart, Madge," he exclaimed, at
last, When ho stared M her for Some little
time ia silence, "who has been here worth
dressing for to-night I"
"No one until you came," said Madge,
half laughing.
"II Nonsense, you didn't dress for nie"
cried John.
"You won't believe it, perhaps, but I did;
I bavo been talking with Mrs. Matson this
evening, and sbo has given me soino very
goou ativtee. bo now, John, what wculU
you like for your supper 1"
t jouu, wno, wout to steal to tho shelf at
night ctnd content himself with anything he
could liiicl, thought Mudge's offer too excel
lent to be refused, and very Boon a large
bowl of hot chocolate was steaming on tho
table. Then his wife sat down for a won
der at his. iidc, and talked a little, and
listened, and looked pleased, whoa at last, as
if lie couldn't help it, he said, "Dear old
Madge J"
That was enough, her elbow somehow
found way then to the arm of his great chair.
and she sat quietly looking at tho firo. After
a while John spoke again
"Madgo, dear, do you 'remember tho old
days when we used to sit side by side in
your mother's kitchen?"
"Yes."
"I vitii hybungcr man then, Made, aiid
as they told me, handsome, now I am grow
ing older, plainer, duller. 2Vic you heed
me ; do you love me still ?"
She looked up into his face, nnd her eyes
answered him. It was like lookisg Lack to
old days to fuel again his arm around her as
her hcud lay upon his shoulder, aud to hear
once again those kind words meant for her
cur alone.
She never once askod if this would make
him "vain." She kriew, as if by instinct,
that it was making him a wiser, a more
thoughtful, more earnest hearted man. And
when, after a happy silence, ho took down
the Bible and read a chapter, as he had been
wont to read to her mother in aforctimes,
she bowed her head nud prayed.
From this auspicious reunion a new life
nnd new hnppincss were created, and having
learned the secret how wives can secure tho
love of their husbands and make their homes
the most kttructive pluco upon earth, it was
never departed from.
Lot others learn from it.
MISCELLANEOUS.
l'aIiionaTlo Isivulidism.
Fanny Fern almost always writes practi
cally and to the point. Tho following from
her pen is well worthy tho perusal of. all
whom it may concern :
I hope to livo to see the timo when It will
be considered a disgract to be sick ; when
people with flat chests and stooping (.boul
ders will creep round the back wuy, tike
other violators of known laws. Those who
inlwrit sickly constitutions, bavo my since
rest pity. I only request one favor of them,
that they cease perpetuating themselves till
tbey aru physically on a sound basis. Bat
a woman who laces so tight that she breathes

Sentiment is all very nice ; but, were I a

"couldn't eat." Why don't she take a nice

aud a nice walk not ride after it ? Why
dou't she stop muuehing sweet stuff between

everything by tho wrong handlo. Of course
it makes them very mad to whisper pitying

are not going to muddlo my braiu with

are in a state of physical disorganization.

carriage- to go there ; and the men, more
dead than alive, so lethargic aro they with
constant smoking, creep into cars and om
nibuses, and curl up in a corner, dreading
nothing so much as a little wholesome exer

the little particle is deposited, and becomes
incorporated with tho substaiie3'of the hard

vitalized in its new connection. An old

So particles are perpetually changiug places.

this process is regularly performed.
Iu tho lapso of time the vital artisans,
such as the liver, 'flpledfi, kidneys, heart,

War.
Ou the occasion of the unveiling of tho
Ilonton statue at St. Louis, General Frank
lilair said :
"it is a part of the secret history of theso
times, but capable of clear and unquestion
able proof, that the campaign against Mexico,
which achieved such great results and re
flected such lustre upon our armsv0riginated
and was plaune'devcn in its details by Colo
nel Benton. After the first collision of arms
on tho Hio Grande, it was the design of the
administration, with tho concurrence of tho
military officers whose counsel was sought,
simply to hold the boundary claimed as the
line of Texas, then recently annexed, and
which orginateu the war, and for which it
was waged. The President, Mr. Polk, had
prepared his message to Congress with a
recommendation to this effect. The accom
panying report of the Secretary of War was
prepared, with estimates asking appropria
tions only for the force deomed necessary
to bold this line. A few days before tho
meeting of Congress, Col. Benton arrived
in Washington to tako his scat upon tho
opening of tho session. Ho was chairmen
of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs,
and was Sent for by the Trcsideut for con
sultation, and to securo bis aid ia obtain
ing the necessary legislation to carry on the
plans adopted by tho Executive. Col. Ben
ton listened to the explanation of theso
plans by the President, and then Stated
frankly that ho did not approvo them. It
would lead to a long, expensiveexhausting
war without decisive results, in which tUu
Mexicans could attack when and where thoy
pleusod, and would bo certain to Strike at
the weakest point on the long aud imper
fectly defeutlod frontier line, and would
probably gain advantages which would
tarnish the reputation already won by our
gallant troops in the held. That the people
would toon bcome tired of posting the
army to receive blows end to give noue, aud
would overthrow the administration and
placo the authority in other bauds, !n order
that tho war might be carried on with vigor
and made to produce results. Ho said he
would resign his placo at the Head of the
military committco and throw no obstacles
in tho way of the admiustratlon in obtaining
such legislation as was needed to carry out
its policy, but would not make lilma'e.f a
party to plans which he foresaw would result
in disaster to the administration and the
country. Tbo President was struck by
these views, and asked what policy he would
advise. Benton then sketched a plau by
which the whole power of the nation could
be burlod upon Mexico, and in one irresisti
ble campaign crush all resistance and extort
such terms as would 'give indemnity for the
past and security for the future.'
"At the request of tho President, Bentou
reduced hia viows to writing, and produced
the plan upon which the campaign was
subsequently conducted. The President
a'dopte'd it at "onc6; lli 0 message Was char.gccl
by Benton's hand to conform Its recommen

the army) to the requirements or tho new

the President, and those two state papers
betray the remurk'ablu discrepancy which
is explained by (he facts I have .'.narrated.
Mr. Polk, in adopting the views and plans
of Benton, was so impressed by his vigorous
thoughts and his minhto knowludgo of 'tha
colintry, displayed in details providing for
its execution, that he asked Colonel teuton
to accept the command of tho afmy'ih'pcrson
to execute what he had planned. Benton
acceded to the request without hesitation,
aud no doubt is entertained bf isiso sincerity
with which the offer was made, but tho bill
for tho appointment bf 'a I icutenatit-Gehcr-al,
which was part of thc'pl'an agreed, failed
iu the Senate after having passed the House,
and through means that showed that the
President had changed his purpose of g'.v-1
ing 'Benton the command. Congress author
ized (bo appointment of several major-generals,
and the President nominated Bautnn
for one of theso positions. Benton saw the
change of purpose, and understood that it
wag tllo .suggestion of a jenlousy in some
quarter which saw hi tho brilliant military
success which was certain to follow upon
such plans, guided by intelligence , and
vigor, a furmidablo competition outstrip
ping all rivalry for tho highest position in
the country. He quietly put aside tho posi
tion which would havo umdo him a subor
diuate, and was contented to give effect in
the Senate to that by which ho had insure 1
tho success of our arms. Now Mexico and
California mado good tho previous spolia
tions of the Mexicans and tho expenditures
of tho war, and were tho fruit of Benton's
aggressive policy. A war of guerillas In

Tub Westkus Wheat Harvest. The
Milwaukee Wisconsin gives the following
nattering report 01 the wheat prospects for
1808, at the West:
"From every part of Wisconsin and Min
nesota, and in fact from nearly all over the
Western Stales, come tho most cheering
reports of the grain prospects for 1S08. In
our State Hie opening of spring about two
weeks earlier than usual enabled farmers to
get their spring wheat into the ground early,
thus securing one of the most essential con
ditions of a good crcp. Since sftwing, the
weather except a slight inclination to
drouth in the past ton days has been all
that coula oe desired lor crowing grain
The past niuter has beeu favorable to fall
sown wheat, aud that rather uncertain crop
is reported as annearine much better thau
usual. Stimulated by the Lig'h 'prices of
wncar, tarmers nave sown a lar larger
breadth of ground probably one-third
than last year. Hence we may conclude
iruiu tut 1110 luuicuuoiis iiius lar developed,
that the wheat harvest of tho West will be
far larger in 1SU8, than in a'ry year since
1360, should the present favorablo auspices

To hear Go'ugh tell the "drugger" storv
is worth a quaiter at anytime. The story
is a capital one. but it takes the man to tell
it. Thia ho docs iu seme such words as
these :
"A long, lean, gaunt Yankee entered a
urug store and asked :
"Bo you the drugger ?''
"Well, I 8'po3o so, I sell drugs."
"Waal, bev you got any uv this here
scentiu' stufi'as tho gals put on their hcke
chers ?"
"6 yes."
"Waal, our Sal's gwine to be married, and
she gin me nincpenco and told me to invest
tho hull amount in cccntiu' stuff, so's to
make her sweet, if fcould find somo to suit;
so if you'vo a mind I'll just smell round."
Tho yankec smelled round without beiag
suited until tho drugged get tired of him;
and taklr.g dowu a bctllo of hartshorn,
said:
"I've got a scentin' stuff that will suit
you. A .single drop on you baudkerchief
will stay for weeks, and you can't wash it
nut, but to get the strength of It you take a
big smell.
"Is that so. Mister Waal, juat hold on
a minute till I get my breath, and when I
say neow, you put it undor my smeller."
The hartshorn of courso knocked the
Yaukco down, as liquor has done many a
man. Do you suppose he got up and smelt
again, as tho drunkard does? Not he; but
lie rolling up his sieves and doubling up his
fists, ho said :
"You made mo smell that (arrcl evcr
lastin' stuff, Mister, and now I'll mako you
