If once or twice will not suffice To make the story plain, We tell it over again; With tender care and oft with prayer, The message we impart, Until the child from play beguiled, Has learned it well by heart. But even then, with tongue and pen In fitly chosen words, The theme is spread, to music wed As sweet as songs of birds; And far and near some heart sincere Takes up the glad refrain. And quick to heed another’s need, Repeals it over again." Thus every day, along our way To many or to few, The story is told that is so old, And yet is ever known And if we fear it is not clear Or wooing is in vain, How eagerly and tenderly We tell it over again! Eat in our homes all times there comes A shadow fraught with ill. That casts a blight over all things bright, A hard, forboding chill; And we'll we know by signs that show The bitter grief and pain Of hearts that grieve from morn till eve. That love is on tbs wane. This is the time that souls sublime Will gather round their own, With tenderness and fond caress For past neglect atone; And though of old their love they told In language terse and plain, Fenr 'tw ill disarm, and do no harm Tutell it o’er again. —Josephine Pollard. A STOBY OF WAR TIMES. Juet as It Was Printed as News Near - !y Thirty Years Ago. Hkadquaetkhs Post, ) Frank lie, Teini., June 9, 18G3. $ I^ist evening about sundown two strangers rode into camp and called at Colonel Baird’s headquarters who 1 presented unusual appearances. They had on citizens’ overcoats, Federal regulation pants and caps. The caps were covered with white flannel have locks. They wore side arms and showed high intelligence. One claim ed to be a colonel in the United States army, and called himself Colonel Aus tin; the other called himself Major : Dunlap, and both represented them- I Eelves as inspectors-general of the Uni ted States army. They represented that they were now out on an expedition in this department inspecting the out posts and defenses, and that day be fore yesterday they had been over hauled by the enemy, and lost their coats and purses. They exhibited of ficial papers from General Rosecrans, and also from the War Department at Washington, confirming the rank business. These were all right to Colonel Baird, and at first satisfied him of their honesty. They asked the colonel to loan them SSO, as they had no coats and no money to buy them. Colonel Baldwin loaned them the money, and took Colonel Austin’s note for it. Just at dark they started, saying they were going to Nashville, and took that way. Just as soon as their horses’ heads were turned, the thought of their being spies struck Colonel Baird, he says, like a thunderbolt, and he ordered Colonel Watkins, of the Sixth Kentucky Cavalry, who was standing by, to arrest them immediately. But they were going at lightning speed. Colonel Watkins had no time to call a guard, and only with his orderly set out on the chase. He ordered the orderly to unsling his carbine, and if, when he, the colonel, halted them, they showed any suspicious motions, to fire on them without waiting for an order. They were overtaken about one-third of a mile from here. Colonel Watkins told them that Colonel Baird wanted to make some further inquiries of them, and a deed them to return. This they politely consented to do, after some remonstrance on account of the lateness of the hour and the distance they had to travel, and Colonel Watkins led them to his tent, where he placed a strong guard over them. It was not until one of them attempted to pass the guard at the door that they suspected that they were prisoners. Colonel Watkins immediately brought them to Colonel Baird under strong guard. They at once manifested great uneasiness, and pretended great indignation at being thus treated. Colonel Baird frankly told them that he had his suspicions of their true character, and that they should, if loyal, object to no necessary caution. They were very hard to satisfy, and were in a great hurry to get off. Colonel Baird told them that they were under arrest, and he should hold them prisoners until he was fully satisfied that they were what they purported to be. He immediately telegraphed to Gen. Rosecrans, and received the answer that he knew nothing of any such men, that there were no such men in his employ nor had the pass. Long before this dispatch was received, however, everyone who had an opportunity of hearing their conversation was well satisfied that they were spies. Smart as they were, they gave frequent and distinct evidence of duplicity. After this dispatch came to hand, which it did about 12 o’clock (midnight), a search of their persons was ordered. To this the major consented without opposition, but the colonel protested against it, and even put his hand to his arms. But resistance was useless, and both submitted. When the major’s sword was drawn from the scaddard there were found etched upon it these words: “Lieut. W. G. Peter, C. S. A.” At this discovery Colonel Baird remarked, “Gentlemen, you have played this devil well.” “Yes,” said Lieutenant Peter, “and it came near being a perforated success.” Then they concluded the whole matter, and upon further search various papers showing their guilt were discovered upon their persons. Lieutenant Peter was found to have on a rebel cap secreted by the white flannel have-colonel Bayd immediately telegraphed the facts to General Rosecrans, and asked what he should do, and in a short time received an order to “try them by a drum-head court martial, and if found guilty to hang them immediately.” The court was convened, and before daylight the case was decided. End the prisoners in Formed that they must prepare for immediate death by hanging. At daylight, men were detailed to make a scaffold. The prisoners were visited by the chaplain of the Seventy-eighth Infantry, who, at their request, administered the sacrament to them. They also wrote letters to their friends and deposited their jewelry, silver cups, watches, and other valuables for transmission to them. The gallows was constructed by a wild cherry tree not far from the depot and in a very public place. Two ropes hung dangling from the beam, reaching within eight feet of the ground. A little after 8 o'clock a.m., the whole garrison was marshaled around the place of execution in solemn sadness. Two poplar coffins were lying a few feet away. Twenty minutes past 8 o'clock, the guards conducted the prisoners to the scaffold. They walked firmly and steadily, as if unmindful of the fearful precipice which they were approaching. The guards did them the honor to march with arms reversed. Arrived at the place of execution, they stepped upon the platform of the cart and took their respective places. The provost marshal, Captain Alexander, then tied a linen handkerchief over the face of each and adjusted the ropes. They then asked the privilege of bidding a last farewell. This being granted, they tenderly embraced each other. This over, the cart moved from under them and they swung in the air. In two minutes, the lieutenant ceased to struggle. The colonel caught hold of the ropes with both hands and raised himself up for about three minutes and ceased to struggle at five minutes. At six minutes, Dr. Forrester, surgeon Sixth Kentucky Cavalry, and Dr. Moss, Seventy-eighth Illinois Infantry, and myself, who had been detailed to examine the bodies, approached them and found the pulse of both full and strong. At seven minutes, Dr. Forrester, surgeon Sixth Kentucky Cavalry, and Dr. Moss, Seventy-eighth Illinois Infantry, were placed in the coffin. The pulse of each continued to beat seventeen minutes, and at twenty minutes all signs of life had ceased. The bodies were cut down at thirty minutes and coffined in full dress. The colonel was buried with a gold locket and chain on his neck. This locket contained a portrait and a braid of hair of his intended wife; her portrait was also in his vest pocket. These were buried with him at his request. Both men were buried in the same grave—companions in life, misfortune, and crime, companions in infamy, and now companions in the grave. I should have stated in another place that the prisoners did not want their punishment delayed, but, well knowing the consequences of their acts, even before the trial, asked to have the sentence, be it hanging or shooting quickly decided and executed. But if they deprecated the idea of death by hanging, and asked for a commutation of the sentence to shooting. The elder and leader of these unfortunate men was Lawrence Williams of Georgetown, D.C. He was as fine looking a man as I have ever seen, about six feet high, and perhaps thirty years old. He was a son of Captain Williams, who was killed at the battle of Monterey. He was one of the most intellectual and accomplished men that I have ever known. I have never known anyone who excelled him as a talker. He was a member of the regular army with the rank of captain of cavalry when the rebellion broke out, and at that time was aide-de-camp and private secretary to Gen. Winfield Scott. From this confidence and respect shown him by so distinguished a man may be judged his education and accomplishments. He was a firs^ cousin of General Ix?e, commanding tho army of the Rappa hannock. Soon after the war began he was frank enough to inform Gen eral Scott that nil his sympathies were with the South, as his friends and interests were there, and that he could not fight ngainst them. As he was privy to all General Scott’s plans for the campaign, it was not thought well to turn him loose, so he was sent to Governor’s Island, where he remained three months. After tho first Bull Run battle he was allowed to go South, where ho joined the confederate army, nnd his subsequent history I have not been able to learn much about. He was n while on General Bragg’s staff as chief of artillery, but at the time of his death was his inspector general. When he joined the confeder ate army he altered his name thus: “Lawrence W. Orton, Col. Cav. P. A. C. S. A.”—Provisional Army Confed erate States of America ” Sometimes hj wrote his name “Orton,” and sometimes “Auton,” according to the object which ho had in view. This we learn from papers found on him. These facts in relation to the personal history of Colonel Orton I have gath ered from the Colonel himself, and from Colonel Watkins, who knows him well, they having belonged to the same regiment of the regular army—Second United State Cavalry. Coionel Wat kins, however, did not recognize Col onel Orton .until after he had made himself known, and now mourns his apostasy and tragic fate. The other victim of this delusive and reckless daring was Walter G. Peter, a lieutenant in the rebel army, and Colonel Orton’s adjutant. He was a tall, handsome young man of about twenty-five years, who gave many signs of education and refinement. Of his history, I have been able to gather nothing. He played but a second part. Colonel Orton was the leader, and did all the talking and managing. History will hardly furnish a parallel in the character and standing of the parties, the boldness and daring of the enterprise, and the swiftness with which discovery and punishment were visited upon them. They came into our camp and went all through it, minutely inspecting our position, works and sources, with a portion of their traitorous insignia upon them, and the boldness of their conduct made their flimsy subterfuges almost successful. To the last, however, they denied being spies. They claimed that they were endeavoring to get through our lines in order to visit friends in the North and Europe. But this story was so poorly matured that when either told it it would not hang together, and there was little resemblance between the accounts which the two gave. The arrest so completely confounded them that they were never able afterward to recover from it. The unfortunate men made no complaint at the severity of their punishment, except that they deprecated the ignominy of being hanged. They were too well informed not to know that upon conviction of being spies, they must suffer death, and hence they expected it and made no complaint. Colonel Orton, who recognized Colonel Watkins as soon as he saw him, told him that he barely escaped with his life when the arrest was made — that he had his hand on his pistol to kill him and escape. Had it been one else, he would have done so, Colonel Orton delivered his sword and pistols to Colonel Watkins and told him to keep and wear them. He also presented him with his horse, which he valued at $5,000, and asked him to treat him kindly for his sake. —Atlanta Intelligencer. BABY'S FOOT, It Is Said to Greatly Resemble a Monkey's- "How many people have ever taken notice of a baby's foot, except to admire its pinkness and prettiness?" said a well-known scientist. "And yet to the anatomist it is a revelation. Take, for example, the tootsies of a child of 10 months that has never walked or stood alone. It has a power of grasping to some extent and is used instinctively like a hand. The great toe has a certain independent working, like a thumb, and the wrinkles of the sole resemble those of the palm. These markings almost entirely disappear after the pedal extremity has come to be employed for purposes of support and locomotion. "The hands and feet of a human being are strikingly like those of the chipanee in conformation, while the gorilla's resemblance to man in these respects is even more remarkable." The higher apes have been classified as ‘quadrumana,’ or ‘four-handed,’ because their hind feet are hand-shaped; but this designation is very improperly applied, because the ape’s inferior extremities are not really lands at all. They merely look like hands at the first glance, whereas in fact they are but foot adapted for climbing. The big toes can not be ‘opposed’ to the other toes as thumbs are to the fingers, but simply act pincerwise for the purpose of grasping. “Now, funnily enough, the ‘infant’s’ feet have this same power of grasping pincer fashion, and the action is performed in precisely the same way. Advocates of evolutionary theories take this to signify that the human foot was originally utilized for climbing trees also before the species was so highly developed as it is now. Also they assert that the fact of the art of walking erect is learned by the child with such difficulty proves that the race has only acquired it recently.” AN UNSELFISH STEED. Remarkable Unselfishness of Clergyman's Horse. A doctor and a clergyman were exercising their horses one morning in a country lane, when an argument arose between them as to which of the animals possessed the sweeter disposition. “I’ll wager that if their respective tempers could be tried,” said the doctor, “mine would be far away the better.” “That’s all nonsense,” retorted the clergyman. “My mare has the best.” Temper of any horse in the neighborhood." "Well, here's a stiff hedge, let us try their leaping capabilities," suggested the doctor. "Right you are," agreed his friend. The doctor's hunter quietly refused to jump, although put at it again and again. The clergyman's little mare also refused, but at the same time put back her ears and exhibited considerable ill-temper. When repeatedly urged to jump, she finally accomplished a clever back-jumping feat, which threw her master over the hedge. Strange to relate, the reverend gentleman was unhurt, and, scrambling to his feet, commenced to scrape the mud from his broadcloth, whilst the doctor laughingly remarked:— "Perhaps you are convinced now that my animal has a better disposition than yours." "Not at all," replied the clergyman. My mare is such an unfeeling little brute that though unable to take the fence herself, she had no desire to keep me from going over. In fact, she facilitated the mode of my transit, whilst your horse displayed a dog in the manner of not going himself and not allowing you to fatten either. HE HASEN'T FIXED IT. How Mr. Hendrickson Got a Drink. An elegantly attired stranger walked into a Woodward avenue saloon and asked leave to use the telephone. "Certainly," said the polite bartender. The visitor walked to the phone, rang the bell, and probably without waiting for an answer gave a number. "Is that Mr. B's residence?" asked he, giving the name of a very prominent and wealthy citizen of Detroit. "Is Mr. B there?" "Well, when becomes will you?" Please tell him that I can’t come up to dinner tonight. This is Mr. Hendrickson. “Yes, Mr. Oliver Hendrickson.” “I am sorry, too, but a business engagement makes it impossible. I will call tomorrow. Good-bye.” He stepped away from the instrument, thanked the bartender, and said: “Give me a gin fizz, please.” He swallowed the drink, ordered an imported cigar, lit it and then discovered that he had no change. Looked embarrassed and then gave his name; again: “Mr. Oliver Hendrickson. I’ll be in tomorrow and fix it;” he said. The barkeeper didn’t kick at all, the telephone conversation had fixed it. Mr. Hendrickson hasn’t “come in yet,” nor has he “fixed it.” The drink mixer doesn’t remember the telephone number that the fellow used, but he is sure it wasn’t the number of the prominent citizen’s call—Detroit Tribune. His Answer. “Do you shave yourself all the time?” asked the barber. “No: I stop occasionally for meals,” said Jimpiau, savagely. Jailers and Camvists. Two wards of the Barraat jail, near Calcutta, have been convicted of conspiracy which has probably no parallel in the history of criminal prisoners. These unfaithful guardians of the cells conceived the idea of establishing a profitable partnership with certain burglars under their charge. To this end they selected one night three convicts, took them to the warders’ quarters, exchanged their jail apparel for everyday clothing, and told them to go. forth and break into the houses in the city. The plunder was to be brought “home” in the morning for equal distribution among the parties concerned, and the convicts were then to resume their peaceful daily work. Fortunately for the interests of society, the burglars became discontented with their share of the spoils and were overheard discussing their grievances by another warder, who gave information to the prison authorities. The warders, with whom this audaciously ingenious scheme originated, have been sentenced to two years' rigorous imprisonment, but on appeal, their case is stated to have been committed to the criminal sessions, to be dealt with by a jury. — London Daily News. How Not to Take Cold. A little bit of really valuable advice for this season of the year: Keep your mouth shut if people would only do this, they would avoid colds and coughs, and often serious illness. The prescription is a very simple one, and not even the merit of originality can be claimed for it; but it undoubtedly is efficacious. Mr. Catlin, the celebrated traveler among the North American Indians, discovered that they were free from many of the diseases which civilized nations, and he attributed this exemption to the practice of keeping their mouths closed at almost all times, except when they are eating or talking. The mothers teach the children this from their earliest infancy. And does it not stand to reason that it is better to breathe through the nostrils the chilly air when leaving a heated room for the street, or even when going into a cold passage, then letting it go straight to the lungs in an ordinary way? Mr. Catlin declares that "Shut your mouth" is the most important motto which the human language can convey. — National Educator. Dodging an excellent Guest. The present to the Queen of a lion and lioness from the Sultan of Zanzibar reminds us that her good-natured Majesty must, in her time, have received a dozen complete menageries from her foreign admirers and savages contemporary rulers. It is not everyone, however, who will frankly accept the denizens of the forest and wilderness as does the Queen. A good story is told of the late Sultan Burghash and Sir John Kirk, then our Consul-General at the Turkish capital. The Sultan had a very savage chained lion and, as a happy thought, he offered it to Sir John, reminding him that the lion formed one of the supporters of the Royal Arms above the gate of the British Consulate, and that the presence of the real brute would, therefore, be highly appropriate. Alive to the jest, Sir John quickly capped it and at the same time escaped the necessity of accepting such an unpleasant gift. "I am sure that your highness would never make an incomplete present," he replied, "and when you are able to accompany the lion with a unicorn I shall be delighted to receive your munificent offer."—Black and White.

A man who died recently in Berlin, at the age of 73, left the following record, which he began when 18 years old and continued for five years. The book, filled with methodical entries, shows that in these fifty-two years this man had smoked 628,715 cigars, of which he had received 43,692 as presents, while for the remaining 585,021 he had paid 10,443. In fifty-two years, according to his book-keeping, he had drunk 28,786 glasses of beer and 36,081 glasses of spirits, for all of which he spent 5,350. The diary closes with these words: “I have tried all things; I have seen many; I have accomplished nothing.” Fire Scenes Etching. The Passenger Department of the New York Central has just issued a series of five beautiful etching, which artistically outrank anything of the kind ever issued by a railroad company, while the absence of any advertising feature renders them suitable for hanging in your office, library, or home. A brief description of each, with a glance at their titles, is all that is necessary to obtain a fair idea of the pictures. No. 1 is "Washington Bridge," which spans the Harlem River at 181st Street, one of the finest bridges in the world, and a marvel of engineering. In the distance is High Bridge, the Croton Viaduct. In the foreground a characteristic river scene, that will be recognized by anyone at all familiar with the locality. No. 3 — "Rock of Ages, Niagara Falls," from a photo by William H. Jackson Co., Denver. A view that has been admired by everyone who has seen it. The soft tones in which it is printed add greatly to the effect of the falling waters and pray. No. 3—“Old Spring at West Point," also from a photo by William H. Jackson & Co., Deaver. A romantic scene, recalling memories of summer days at the famous military academy. No. 4—“999 and the DeWitt Clinton.” The famous Empire State Express Engine “999” which occasioned such widespread comment at the World's Fair, occupies the top half of the card, and below appears the old “DeWitt Clinton,” affording a truly remarkable example of the progress of railroad science in the past fifty years. No. 5—“Rounding the Nose, Mohawk Valley.” One of the handsomest railroad pictures ever made. The scene is just below Little Falls. These etchings are all printed on fine plate paper, 14x32 inches, suitable for framing. Copies of either of them can be procured at the office of W. B. Jerome, 97 Park street, Chicago, for 50 cents each, or will be mailed in stiff tube, secure from injury, to any address, post paid, for 75 cents, in currency, stamps, express or postal money order, upon application to George H.

The task of deciphering totally unknown characters appeared indeed to be a hopeless one, and yet it was successfully accomplished. At the beginning of the present century, Georg Friedrich Grolefend, of Hanover, Germany, discovered the key that was destined to unlock the mysteries of cuneiform writing. Still, the obstacles were great that beset all every step the plucky band of pioneers who struck out in the path opened by Grolefend. From laboriously spelling out each word, like a child learning the alphabet, the decipherment gradually advanced, until today scholars read an ordinary cuneiform with almost the same ease as a page of Hebrew in the Old Testament. In some respects, the decipherment of the cuneiform inscriptions was attended with even greater difficulties than the original. Reading of the Egyptian hieroglyphics, but the two achievements are to be reckoned among the most notable triumphs of the human mind. As a result of the decipherment of the material stored up in European museums — though far from exhausted — the general course of events and the internal development of Babylon and Assyria have become clear. We have quite complete histories of a number of Assyrian kings who up to a short time ago were known only by name. The lists of the occupants of the Babylonian and Assyrian thrones are now virtually complete, onward from the fifteenth century before our era. We now know far more of Sennacherib and Assyrian than we do of their contemporaries, Hezekiah and Manasseh, of Judea; of earlier times we have at least as copious records as of the early days of Greece and Rome; and if the hopes of the present are fulfilled, in another fifty years our knowledge of Assyria and Babylonian fields fair to rival in comparison to what we know of the middle ages. — On fury. Artificial Banlight. In a dark room with alternating currents of 800,000 volts, Nicola Tesla, by means of atmospheric vibrations, caused a rapid glow of light to appear. Explaining the phenomena, he said: “If I can increase the atmospheric vibrations, say one million or ten thousand millions, I can produce enough in this room. Of course, I can increase the vibrations by increasing the voltage. I can make the voltage 8,000,000 as easy as 800,000, but I am not ready to handle 8,000,000 volts of electricity. Currents of such strength would kill everyone in this room. I expect, however, to learn how to control a large voltage. When I have increased the atmospheric vibrations, perhaps a thousand times, the phenomena will be no longer electricity. It will be light. I am satisfied that sunlight can be made from electricity without doing harm to anybody, and I expect to discover how it is done. The complexion of a Chinese is not yellowish than that of an unfortunate individual whose liver complaint has assumed the chronic form. The cyebals of the sufferer assume a saffron hue, there is dull pain in the region of the organ affected, the tongue is coated, breath sour, sick headaches usually but not always occur, and there is sometimes dizziness on arising from a sitting posture. Constipation and dyspepsia are also attendants of this very common ailment always in its aggravated form, liable to breed abscesses of the liver, which are very dangerous. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters wholly eradicates it, as well as the troubles complicated with it and which it originates. In chills and fever, a complaint which always yields to the Bitters, the liver is seriously involved.
