4-Y A.YEFDOTE OF THE W iR.
Maj. B. hatl comin intl of a battalion
ofTecas cavalry, well known to the
people ol that State for its deeds of
daring among (he snow capped moun
tains ol New Mexico and the s vamps
of Louisiana. While serving in Lou
isian?, previous to the first raid of Banks
on the Red River valley, he fell in love
with a sweet girl, proposed and was
accepted in due lortn. But just at that
juncture, Banks’ column eatue along,
carrying ruin and desolation in their
track. Our forces fell back into tlte
inter o •, bat the fair young eirl rein lin
ed with her m-uthcr on the plantation.
When the Federal army retreated to
Brasltear City, the Confederates were
close upon their heels, and, of course,
one ol tne first acts of the enamored
Major was to call upon, his promised
bride. Her mother had been ruined bv
the raitl, tlie negroes had been carried
off, stock all killed or taken away,
everything of, value about the planta
tion ha 1 been burned or destroyed.
File young lady met her lover and said,
“When I engaged myself to you I was
the owner of ihousat ids ; to-day I am
penniless. It is not right to hold you
to your pledge nnder these circum
stances; you are free.” “No,” replied
the Major, “I love you, and not yaur
property. You are dearer to me now j
than ever.” Some months afterwards
the noble Major fell desperately
wounded, while bravely fighting at the
head of his battalion in the battle of'
Fordoche. lie lingered long in the |
hospital, but finally came out —a wreck
of his former self. 11 is right arm had
been amputated, and three fingers had
been taken off his left hand. The lady
was his tender and devoted nurse j
through all those weary months of:
suffering and confinement. When lid 1
began to convalesce, lie said to her, “I
am a cripple and must be helpless all
my life. It would be selfish in me to i
ask you to throw away yourself oil J
such a wreck as I am.”
“No,” said she, “you did not desert ,
me in my distress and poverty. — j
Nothing but death shall ever part us j
again.” |
They now live in the village of **
Texas, affording a beautiful example of
devoted happiness and of the reward
attending true nobleness of soul. The
Land We Love. j
Bi!l Simpson's Legal E\pcri„ 1
ence.
Many years ago the Legislature of
Tennessee passed an act to organize the
county of NcNuiry, alius Snake. At
that time the Country embraced in the
limits of Snaka was occupied by a
steady set of back woods men, totally
unacquainted with courts, jails, ect.
The country assembled at the appoint
ed site for tlie purpose of cutting logs
making boards, etc., to build a court
house and jail. The only theme of
conversation, when the men were a «
sembled, was the court, etc. None of
them had ever seen a court in session,
as yet developed. Each one would
give what his idea was ot a Court, etc.
None, however, were entirely satis
factory. until Bill Simpson was called i
on ta give his ideas. He said he knew
all about a court —that he had a law
suit in Norih Carolina. One ol ft is
neighbor’s hogs kept coining when lie
fed his hogs until it got fat. One
morning he got so d —d mad that he
shot the hog. He thought it would not <
do to throw it away, so he cleaned and
salted it. Shortly after, his neighbor
and a man come to his house, examin
ed the smoke house, and took him to
towrt and put him in a little office.
About three months after that, this man
came andtook him up to a large room.
A large man sal upon a hig-h bench—a
man was situ/ig at. a desk —about a
dozen fine dressed men sat in a place
that was paled around. The man put
tne in a pen just behind them,
f lie then called m twelve men ; they
took seats in a box in faun of the fine
dressed men. The man that was
writing gare the twelve rtipn a book
and said somethit gaiinu} Bill Simpson
and State. Then one of the fine men
read something about Bill Simpson
End tlie bog, and he and another one
of the fine dressed itipu had the biggest
quarrel you ever heard,; I thought
they would fight every minute, but they
didn’t. It was Bill Simpson anti the
hog, and the hog and Bill Simpson,
and sometimes Mr. Simpson, but d—d
seldom. After they quit quarreling,
the big man talked awhile to tlie twelve
men, and they went out and staid a
short time, and come back and s;*id
something to the man at the desk. Th«
man on the bench said something to
the man (hat put me in office, and he
took me out ana) tied me to a petsimmon
tree and commenced fighting me with
a cowhide, and made me so d—d mad
that f shook aM the persimmons off the
tree. —/Winchester Home Journal.

The *.enge*t Story On Record.
I lie r o!lowing will amuse almost any
one who will take the trouble anti spare
the lime to read it through :
There was once a certain king who,
like many Eastern king*, was very
loud ol hearing stories told. 'To this
amusement he give up all his time, hut
yet he was nt v r satisfied. The exer
tions o! his courtiers were all in vain
He at last made a proclamation that il
any man should toll him a story that
should last forever, he would certainly
; make him his heir and give him the
princess, his daughter, m marriage; but
il any one should pretend be had su -li a
Story, and should fail —that is, if the
story did come to an end —he was to
have his head cut off.
For such a price as a beautiful prin
cess and a kingdom, rnanv candidates
appeared, and dreadful long stories
some of -them told. Some lasted a
week, some a month, and some six
months. Poor fellows, they nil spun
them out as long as they could, but all
in vain. Sooner or later they all came
to an end, one alter another, and the'
unluckv story tellers had their heads
chopped off. At last came a man who
said that lie had a story that would last
forever, if Ins majesty would he pleased
ito give him a trial. He was warned
of his dangar ; they told him how
marly others had tried and Inst their
heads; hut he said he was not afraid;
! and so he was brought before the king.
| He was a man of a very composed and
deliberate wav of speaking, and after
making all necessary stipulations for
his eating, drinking and sleeping, he
thus began:
“Oh, king! there wes once a king
who was a great tyrant; and desiring
to increase his riches, he seized upon
the corn in his kingdom, and pm it in
an immense granary, which was built
on purpose, as high as a mountain.
This he did for several years, until the
granarv was quite full to the top. He
then stopped doors and windows on all
sides. But the bricklayers had, by
accident, left a very small bole near the
top of the granary, and the re came a
flight of locusts and tried to get at k the
corn, but the hole was so small that
only one locust could pass through at
a time. So one locust went in and
carried ofl one grain of corn, and then
another locust went in and carried ofl'
another grain of corn, and then another
locust went in and carried ofl another
grain of corn, and then another locust
went in and carried ofl another giain of
corn, and'then another locust wei t in
and cameJ ofl another grain of cof;t„■
and then another locust went in and
carried afl auotlir r giuin of corn.
He had gone on thus (rom morning
till night (except when he was engaged
at his meals) for about a month, when
the king began to be rather tired with
his locusts, and interrupted his story
with :
“Well, well, we have heard enough
of the locusts; we will suppose ti.ey
helped themselves to all the core they
wanted. Tell us what happened alter
wards.”
To which the story teller answered
deliberately :
“If it please your majesty, it is im
possible to tell what happened after
wards before I tell what happened
first.”
And then he went on again
“And then another locust Went in and
carried ofTanother grain of corn, and
then another locust went in and carried
off atioiHer grain of corn, another locust
went in a?oi carried off another grain
of corn, und tlicit another locust went
in and carried off another grain of
Corn/’ , . ; .
The king listened with unconquera
ble patience for six months more
when he again interrupted him with :
“Oh. friend ! I am weary of your
locusts, flow soon do vou think they
will have done ?”
.To which the story teller made an
swer:
“Oh, king! who can tell! At the
time to which my story lias o,,me the
locusts have cleared a small place ; it
may be a cubic each way round the
Pole, and the air is still dark with locusts
on ali -ides. But let tiie king have
patience, and no doubt we shall have
come to the end ol them in time.”
Thus encouraged, the king listened
on for another full year, the story teller
going on still as before :
“And another locust went til and
rmried off another grain of corn, and
then another locust went in and carried
ofl another■ grain of corn, and then
another locust went in and e.arred ofl
another grain of corn, and then another
locust Went in and carried oft another
grain ol corn.” , ,
At hint the poor king could stand it
no longer, and cried out;
“Oh. man! that is* enough to take
my daughter! take my king lorn ! take
anything, everything! only let me hear
no more of the abominable locust.”
1 And so the story teller was married
to the king's daughter, and was declared
heir to the throne, and nobody ever ex
pressed a wirh to hear the rest of the
story, for he said it was impossible, to
eprne u> the othfr end of it till he had
