THE OLD COFFEE-KETTLE.
How dear to our hearts are the davs when we
soldiered,
As fowl recollections present toonrvlew
The Ions: line of earthworks, the deep tangled
thicket,
And every rough spot that our army life
knew.
The long parks of artillery, with harness and
saddle.
The picket-roped horses of; trying to roll.
The cook-house, t lie guard tent, the muskets
stacked nigh it.
And tiie old coffee-kettle that hung on a
pole—
The sheet-iron kettle, the smutty old kettle,
TV' old coffee-kettle tl.at hung on a pole
J
How dear to this day arc the forms and the
faces
Of those who stood by us in those trying
times;
Hut so many have gone from their ranks and
their places
That it mightily shortens the original lines.
Hard marching and lighting we ail well re
member.
And everything trying to hr dy and soul:
Ilut one thing we had that was genuine pleas
ure,
’Twas the old coffee-kettle that hung on a
pole—
'The sheet-iron kettle, the smntlyold kettle,
The old coffee-kettle that hung on a pole.
Twelve dollars a month for standing as tar
gets
For heaps of cold lead, old iron and steel;
But they say we are better for wiiat we en
dured t lien.
Anri we can’t make a point on a Senator’s
deal.
We ate salt liorse and hard tack in all kinds
ol weather.
Some rations we drew, some others we stole,
But still, my old chums, we will a.’ways re
member
The old coffee-kettle that hung on a pole—
' The sheet-iron kettle, the smutty old kettle,
The old coffee-kettle that hung or, a pole.
"Wow, most of us, comrades, are feeble old
cripples.
Our hearts growing gray with tlie fast fleet
ing lime;
But though still in this world our muster-roll
shortens.
We know It grows long in a happier clime.
Boon all of us, comrades, must pass over Jor
dan,
And leave all we have for the ferryman’s
toll.
But never till then can they make us surren
der
The old eoffee-kettle that liungon a pole—
’The sheet-iron kettle, the smutty old kettle,
The old coffee-kettle that hung on a pole.

The Kansas Exodnsters.
Macon Telegraph.
A few years since, and under the
leadership of certain white and colored
political agitators, a large number of
negroes were induced to quit the South
western States for homes in Kansas.
They were promised good homes, lib
eral wages, and comforts of all kinds.
This exodus took place just before a po
litical campaign, when it was supposed
that there was great need for votes.
Looking at the history of Kansas alone
it was natural to suppose that Kansas
was to be the paradise of the negro,
where fortunes and social equality
awaited them with open arms. It had
been called the bloody State, because
within its borders had come the pre
liminary shock of arms that led to a
great civil war. From "time to time we
have heard of the want, misery and
destitution of these misguided exodus
ters and at one time Congress was ap
pealed to for aid from the public treas
ury to relieve their wretchedness and
help them back to the homes they had
deserted.
Their condition has become so insuf
ferable that they desire to go further.
Mr. Coppinger, Liberian consul and
secretary of the Colonization Society,
says:
“I am receiving large numbers of ap
peals from the colored people of Kan
sas, many of whom went there during
the exodus of some years ago. They
did not improve their condition as
much as they expected; at any rate
they are very anxious to exchange Kan
sas for Africa. AYe are sending more
or less of them, but cannot respond to
anything like the number of appeals
we get. They feel that they are not a
part of the dominant race, and they are
not properly recognized socially and
politically by the whites, and never
will be. The general public do not
understand liow strong this feeling is
with the negroes, and it will probably
continue so. Many of them feel it very
keenly. AYe hear it in a marked de
gree from those who went to Kansas a
few years ago.”
Advice to a Young Man.
Bob Burdette.
My son, you must overcome a diffi
culty as you would split a gnarled piece
of wood; strike square at the knot. It
looks to be the harder way to go at it,
but is the easier and the shorter way.
It will take you all day to split a tough
old gnarl of hickory by chipping around
the knot, and then after you have wast
ed the day and wrenched the axe-
handle and sprained your wrist and
have twisted and turned and pounded
and chipped away all the rest of the
chunk, there will the knot be still, hard
and sound and tough as it was, and
ever so much harder to handle, be
cause you have no way of getting at it.
You will never split it now. It will
take you a lifetime to overcome a bad
habit if you get at it by degrees, and
just try to chip away the easy edges of
it. The chilly water in the ford will
not grow the warmer because you stand
on the bank and shiver, unless you are
going to stand there until next sum
mer, and by that time you won’t care
to cross. You’ll never be an early riser
if you roll over for just one more cat
nap after the alarm calls you. You’ll
never quit lying by “pruning” your ex
travagance of speech. And, I don’t
know, but I am pretty certain that you
won’t quit drinking by shutting off one
drink every week. You are so apt to
lose your count, don’t you see? In
fact, the only way to do anything is to
do it, and you never knew a man who
accomplished a thing by not doing it.
There is only one thing, my boy, that a
man can successfully accomplish by
general evasiveness and lazy neglect.
He can go to the devil; he can do this
with greater ease and less exertion
than he can do anything else in the
world, and he can do it a-whooping,
too. If that is all you want to do, you
might lie down and go to sleep again;
vou’ll “get there Eli.”

Brace Up,
You are feeling depressed, your ap-
E etite is poor, you are bothered with
[eaaache, you are fidgetty, nervous,
and generally out of sorts, and want to
brace up. Brace up, but not with stim
ulants, spring medicines, or bitters,
which have for their basis very cheap,
bad whiskey, and which stimulates
you for an hour, and then leaves you in
worse condit ion than before. Wliat you
want is an alterative that will purify
your blood, start healthy action of liver
and kidneys, restore your vitality, and
give renewed health and strength'. Such
a medicine you will find in Electric
Bitters, and only 50 cents a bottle at A.
