MAJOR GEN P• H. SHERIDAN.
BY W. O. GEORGE.
In May, 1862, soon after the battle of
Shiloh, Governor Blair; of Michigan was at
Corinth, Inciting after the Welfare of the vol
unteers. A colonel was wanted for lite see
ms
orld cavalry regiment of that State. The
chief quartermaster of Ttalleck's army was
suggested for the place—a modest, brisk lit
tle man who had served to the regular army
nine years , -but bad - only - risen - from brevet
second lieutenant to captain of infantry, so
poor a chance of distil:nion lad he found in
garrison life and Indian skirmishing He

tle did the bashful hero think it would be a
major-general's. •
Tbia cavalry command, bestowed by a
western governor, was the making of Phil
ip-Henry Sheridan. It gave full play to
his pushing. dashing nature—his activity
and energy. So unknown was be for some
time, however, that the newspapers spoke of
him as "Patrick' ;Henry Sheridan, supposing.

regiments of rebel cavalry, numbering over
five thousand men. Ile attacked them boldly
in front and rear, and made then] run from
fear that be was backed by a large army
At the battle of Perryville he held firmly
the key of the Union position, and the rebels
were locked out from victory, though much
%he stronger. In the terrible battle of
Ided
.Murfreesboro,' General Sheridan commune,
a division (about six thousand fife - hundred
men) near the center; and after our right
wing was crumbled al:Lily the fierce rebel
onset, he held the enemy for two hours with
out support, and only fell back when one
third of his men had fallen and all his ear
tridges were fired away. The stubborn he
roism which Sheridan infused into all the
troops be commanded was the constant over
flow of his own daring, sanguine spirit. He
always felt, and made his ,troops fact, that
it was impossible for them to be beaten, and
he was very quick to repair any seeming
disaster. After the first day's fight at Mut•
freesboro, he scouted with cavalry in our
rear, and caught more than enough able
bodied stragglers to make good his heavy
losses. He rescued his division from the
frightful rout at Ohickamaige, and joined
it with General Thomas in the position
which he held so firmly as to be called "the
Rock of Chickamagua.'
It was at Mission Ridge that Sheridan's
bravery and vigor caught the eye of Gen
Grant, who was then our cowwander•in
chief, and4es looking everywhere for capa
ble assistant officers. Sheridan had a tin -
cup shot from his hand as he was drinking,
just previous to the final — Charge, be bad a
horse shot under him, and led bis men on
foot up to the summit, where be sprang up
on one of the fifty captured gun's, swinging
his sword over his head, and shouting joyful
ly to his men and scornfully to the retreating
rebels.
Sheridan's career at the bead of the -cav
alry division of the army of the Potomao
proved his wonderful fitness to wield that
arm of the service. Infantry and stiller) ,
were too slow for him. Ae could think
like lightning; his temper would burst out
like a thunderbolt; and
_the quickest motions
of west-mounted soldiers lagged behind his
wishes. Ho was the first general to win
decided victories for the Union cause on
Virginia soil. Jan we ever forget the thril
ling, joyous news of Winchester; and Cedar
Creek, and Five Forks? Is there another
instance in the world's history of a rein
forcement of one
_man turning defeat into
triumph, as did Sheridan's famous ridelfrom
Winchester?
is the civil duties of his present command
at New Orleaas,Sheridan shows promptness,
, patriotism, and good sense. He is not a mere
fig,hter, though he does come of wild Irish
stock, and did get so many "black marks"
for his quarrels at West Poin,t that he near.
ly lost his degree. In boyhood, Sheridan
attended in a country store, and suited his
employer. In Oregon, while a lieutenant
in the army, he settled some troubles be

and was complimented by General Soott.-- ,
He presided ov r a board to audit the claims

A. Child Lost on the Prairie.
' Quite an excitement win created in our
neighboting, town of Malta by the announce
ment; at an early hour on Friday morning
last, that a little girl aged about three years,
a daughter of Mr. Jacob Wilted', a farmer
residing about four miles north of Malta, had
wandered from borne during the morning of
Thursday, and had not been found, though
diligent search bad been made by Mr. Wil
reth and his neighbors all, through Thursday

log fact was made known, nearly one him.

the search. At an early hour in the day
they bad gathered at a poidt where the •

Hour after hour passed in this Jabor of
mercy. Oxicaaional traces of the little orea
cute were fotiiidtioe the mark of its lit
tle bare feet (it was bonnetless and shoeless)
were perceptible in the edge of a . cornfield,-
but it penetrated, only a abort distancer. It
is supposed that night was coming on when
it reached the coruffeld, and the heavy shad
ows in the thick corn had terrors for the lit
tle vne_whieh_drove-it-back-to-the - prairie - a=
gain. Now and then marks on the heavy
prairie grass were discernable, where, possi
bly exhausted and wholly overcome, it would
fall and lie until rest and the cool grass would
again revive it, and then of it would move
to repeat time after time those efforts, which,
probably before the rising . of another sun,
would have released its spirit from the ant
fering_clayrand its wanderings ended in a
heavenly sleep.
These traces of the little one of course gave
renewed energy to the sweltering and wea
riedseatihers—thereiwas no resting—at last,
&Wit tee o'clock, a about was started from
one end of the line that the lost was found.
The poor little creature was found in the
deep tangled prairie grass, with its face, res•
ting in its hands. conscious but overcome by
hunger, exhankrion and exposure. It prob
ably Gould not have risen again.
We will not attempt to describe the de
monstrative joy of the mother and the teat
ful happiness of the father at the recovery
alive of their lost one. Nor will we attempt
to imagine what the agony of the-little one
must have been during the lonely, terrible
hours—its unanswered wailinga—the terror
of the night, with none to utter a soothing
word. •

The Noblemen's Jewele
A rich nobleman was once showing a friend
great-colleetion-t-preeioua—stones,_--whose
value was almost beyond counting—There
were diamonds. and pearls, riches, and gents
from almost every country on the globe,
which bad been gathered by their possessor
by the greatest labor and expense. 'And
yet,' be remarked, 'they yield me no in•
come.'
His friend replied that he had Mel atones
which cost him but ten florins each, yet they
yielded him an income of two hundred for.
ins a year.
In much surprise, the noblemen desired
to see the wonderful atones. when the man
led him down to his mill. andToilfted to
the two toiling gray mill-stones. 'Alley were
laboriously crushing the grain into snowy
flour, for the one of hundreds who depended
on this work for their daily bread These
two dull homely stones did more good in
the world, and yielded a larger income than
all the nobleman's jewelsg%
So it is with idle treasure everywhere. It
is doing nobody any good. While poor
souls are dying of thirst, the money is hoar
ded andlid away which might take the wa
ter of life to them. It is right to be pru
dent and saving of our money; when it is
for a'good, given purpose; but to hoard it
up for its own sake, is more than folly—it
is sin; end even when we save for a good pur
pose, a part is the Lord's. It is not all ours
We cannot spend it all upon ourselves. and
yet have God's favor.
Learn early to value money at its true
worth, and to spend even pennies as God's
stewards He will certainly - call us to give
an acoount of the way in which we have
spent even the smallest sums.—Presbyterian
In Searoh of a Retail Store.

to Boston, observed a sign over a store thus:

faced one of the clerks who was exhibiting

'The proprietorhas just stepped out, sir'
'Well, is this a retailing store?' •
'Yea, sir,a wholesale and retail store.'
Guess you understand your trade?'
'Oh yes,' replied the clerk; wrapping up
a bundle for his lady customer, 'what can I
do for you?' •
'Well, as the sold weather is coming on;
I thought I moug,ht as well come and give
you a job.'
'I don't underatind you, sir,' replied the
clerk, who began" to think the felleW• had
got into the wrong box.
'Zaotly ad, well, I'll tell you.'
'Explain what you mean, my friend,' said
the clerk, as he saw hi* produce a bundle'
from under hie dont.' -

JEWS 0i JERUSALEM' -It is remarkable
that the Jews who are born in Jeruaaletn,
are of a totally different caste from those we
see in Europe. Here they arc of a fair race,
very lightly made, and particularly effeminate
in manner. The young men wear a lock of
long hair on each side of the face, wbieh
their flowing silk robes, give them the ap
pearance of women. The Jews of both sexes
are exceedingly fond of dress, and although
they assume a dirty and squalid appearance
when they walk abroad, in their own houses
they aro to be seen clothed in costly furs and
richest silks in Damascus." The women ar3
covered with gold, and dress in brocades
stiff with embroidery. Somh of "them are
beautiful, and a girl abut . twelve years old,
who was betrothed to the son of a rich old
Rabbi, was the prettiest littleereature I ever
saw: 'tier skin was whiter than ivory; and
her hair, which was as black as jet, sod , was_
plated with strings of sequins, fell in tresses
nearly to the ground. She was of Spanish
family, and tne language usually spoken by
the Jews among themselves. is Spanish.—
