Shout! shout! for the struggle is o'er,
Hurrah I for the battle baron;
And thetrnth prcvailcth once more
In the light of liberty’s Son.

Shoot! shout! for the danger Is past,
Hurrah ! we have couqtierad the toe,
And now life, and hope, at last,
Shall banish the shame and the woe.
Shout! shout t for the triumph of right,
Hurrah for the land of the free!
Its glory, its honor and might
More perfect and lasting shall be.
Shout! shout! in the fa Iness of joy 1
Hurrah 1 for oppressions shall cease,
And spoilers no longer, destroy, ,
Nor mar the blessing of peace.
Shout! shout! with a voice and a will'.
Hurrah for the good and the true t
let the heart of the nation thrill,
And vigor exulting renew.
Shout 1 shout! for the hope and the cheen,
Hurrah ! the reign of the knaves is o'er,
And in a purer atmosphere.
The stars and stripes shall wave cnoe more.
A Remarkable Coincidence.—
In 1863 four gentlemen entered theii'
sons at a boarding school at Cokes*
burg, in South Carolina. They had
been for years intimate friends, and
were clergymen in tlie Methodist
church. These boys remained at
this school as rodth'mates anil dass-

—The death of one of the eldest cit
izens of Brookfield recalls an inci
dent in her career which happened
some fifteen year ago.
She was going to Stamford to visit
a daughter, and took her scat in the
ears for the first and only time in her
life. During the ride an accident oc
curred whereby the car in which she
was seated was thrown down an em
bankment and demolished. Crawl
ing out from beneath the debris she
spied a man who was held down in a
anting posture by his legs being fas
tened.
“ I s this Stamford ?” she anxiously
inquired.
The man was from Boston. IIo
was in considerable pain, but he did
not lose sight of the fact that lie was
from Boston; so he said :
“No, this is a catastrophe.”
“Oh!” cjeculatcd the old lady,
“ then I hadn’t oughter got off
here.”
This was so evident as to make a
reply unnecessary.—Danbury Nines.

Bishop Lee, of Delaware, left Wil

ministerial business, going by way of
New York, wliero lio embarked on
the steamer. Ho left his valise out
side for a few moments whilu lie went
to his state room, and during his ab
sence it was stolen. The valise con
tainod his entire set of robes, which
of course are very valuable. On ac
count of this loss the Bishop was
obliged to return home.
Table Etignettf.
The Abbe Casson, a professor in
tbe College Mazarin and an accom
plished “ literateur,” says Mrs. Dul-
fey’s book on “ Behavior,” dined
one day at Versailles with the Abbe
de Radonvilliers, in company with
several conntiers and marshals of
France. After dinner, when the talk
raaupon the etiquette and customs
of the table, Abbe Casson boasted of
his intimate acquaintance with the
best dining oat usages of society.
The Abbe Deiille listened to Cas-
son’s account of his own good man*
ners for awhile, but then interrupted
him and offered to wager that at the
dinner just served he had committed
numberless errors or improprieties.
“Howis it possible?” demanded
Abbe. “ I did exactly like the rest
of the company.”
“ Nonsence!” exclaimed the other
“ Yon did a hundred tilings which
no one else did. First, when you
sat down at the table whit did yon
do with your napkin ?”
“My napkin? Why, just what
everybody else did, { I unfolded it
and fastened it in niy button hole”
“Ah, my friend,” said Deiille,

that did that. No. one hang* .his

“Let me inform you that one

eat your bread ?”
“ Surely I did that properly. I
cut it with my Icnife into small
mouthfuls and ate it with my fingers.’’
“ Bread should never be cut, but
always broken with the lingers. But
the coffee- how did you manase

“ It was a little too hot; so I pour

“ Well, then, you committed the

It is unncccessary to say that the

evident ignorance of the usages of
