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.

J am a\ AlSON illy 4th, 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.” Bucklin’s Arnica Salve.
