Hayes, that, while attending school at Kenyon College, be was in the habit of taking daily walks into tbe country, says the Boston Herald. These trips were shared by two intimate compan ions, who were of a fun-loving disposi tion, which frequently got them into trouble. On one oooosion they more than met their match as repartee in an old farmer whom they met on tbe highway. The long white beard of the farmer gave him a patriarchal appearance, and while he was approaching the students they arranged to give him a "jollying,” which eventually terminat ed in tbe discomfiture of the youths. One of them doffed bis hat with groat reverence and respect as be said, "Good mprning Father Abraham I” Tbe second saluted the old farmer and said, "Good morning Father Isaac!” Mr. Hayes, uot to be outdone in af fability and politeness, extended his band ao bo said, “Good morning, Father Jacob!” Ignoring the outstretched band of Mr. Hayes, tbo old farmer replied : “Gentlemen, you are mistaken in the man. lam neither Abraham, Isaac nor Jacob, but Saul, the son of Kish, who was sent out to seek his father’s asses, and 10l I have found them.” Educate Yonr Bowola With Vaacarata. swtaaaaaaaiigy SUNNY SIDE SAYINGS.

Making the military appointments from Georgia a matter of politics accounts in a great measure tor the slowness of enlist ments. The people are tired of glowing emptiness. Give the people a chance to select their own officers-officers worthy of themselves—and they will enlist. Law yers and politicians will make as gopd soldiers as anybody else when they have gone through the proper discipline, but they are not likely to get that in positions they are not qualified to fill.
