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.

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 tfeae With th" NO. 30.
