How to Build a Stack,
A few simple titles are given to aid the
beginner:
1. A bottom for n rick to hold 200
do-en should be ten by twenty feet.
2. Make the bottom of rails, selectin
of lime and twenty-five to thirty bu«hols
of slack coal. This should be dumped
down in a dry place where the hogs cin
pet at it, but not scattered around. The
smaller the drove of hogs the smaller the
quantity of ingredients used in making
this mixture.

Early ia 1882_ our regiment, the First

there but a few
days before thero was an order for a
scout to go to Sheet’s Mills.
The orderly sergeant had only to ask
who wanted to go, and in less time than
you could think the scout was full.
Only thirty men nnd a Lieutenant were
wanted, and the boys were all wanting
the chance. We felt then as if we could
swallow a common-sized regiment with
out batting an eye.
We saddled our horses, loaded our car
bines and revolvers, buckled on our
sabers, and mounted, and awny we wont
over the mountains, down the valleys,
with all eyes watching, but no enemy.
On wc went till we come to a field
where there were fifteen head of fine fat
cattle. We concluded we would borrow
them for a few days. We turned them
out into the road, nnd were about to
start, when nn old darkey rode up nnd
said tons: “Mnssas, youns betta look
out. Captain Sheets will be up arter
yonns.”
“Where is Captain Sheets?" inquired
the Lieutenant.”
“He’s down dar to de mill."
“Now, Sambo, you’re lying."
“No, I isn't, Massa.”
“Yes, you arc.”
“No, fo' God I isn't."
“How ninny men hns ho?”
“A ’hole compnny, Massa,”
“Well, boys,” said the Lieutenant,
"wc lmd better git out of this.”
“No, we will go down and see."
‘ No, there arc too many of them.”
“We're going down to see Captain
Sheets.”
So wc forme i in platoons of fours an 1
sent out our advance guard, and down
we went to the mill. As wo turned
around the hill in full view, there they
were. So we opened on them and
charged, and ns wo went charging

terribly excited. We were the first Yanks
they had seen. They began to scream
and halloo at n terrible rate. I remem •
her one woman closo by the rond, who
jumped up and down, nnd cried,O! Lord,

too!"
Rut Captain Sheets nnd his men did
not wait lor the Lord to save them. They
just let their horses do it by carrying
them off.
Wo concluded to return to enmp with
out borrowing the cattle, for fear the
Johnnies might take some turn on us and
borrow some of us.

Tho Lord's Prayer.
A correspondent nsks the Albany Sun
day Press il it knows of any paraphrase
of the Lord's Prayer. The following has
been set to music ns a duet:
‘‘Our Heavenly Fnther, hear our prayer;
Thy name be hallowed everywhere;
Thy kingdom eotr.e; on iai Mi Thy will,
E’en as in heaven, let us fnltill;
Give this day’s bread, that we may live;
Forgive our sins n • we forgive:
Help us temptation to with taud;
From evil shield us by Thy hand;
Now nnd forever, unto Tliee,
The kingdom, power nnd glory be, A men.’
The subjoined metrical version of the
prayer is at least two and a lmlf centuries
old, nnd was written for adaptation to
music in public worship:
“Our Father whi.li in heaven art,
All hallowed lie Thy name;
Thy kingdom come,
On earth Thy will ba done,
Even as the same in hcaveu is.
Give us, O Lord, ourdnilv bread this day;
As we forgive our debtors,
So forgive our debts, we pray.
Into temptation lead us not.
From evil make us free:
The kingdom, power, and glory Tbiue,
Both now and ever be. ’
