to have Pennsylvania. Depend upon
it, Davis, I have never deceived you'in
these matters.”
“No,"” said Davis, “and that is why
what you'tell me makes its impression.
You have always been correct in your
predictions concerning Pennsylvania.”
“Now, Davis,” said Mr. Campbell,
“let me ask you whaa are you going to
do? Submit, Davis! If you in the
Southern States will submit, and let
Lincoln be inaugurated, I pledge you
my word that in four years more Penn
sylvania will reverse this verdict.”
The cab was at the door and the bag
gage ready. Davis took Campbell’s
hand, and his eyes filled with tears.
“Hove that flag,” said Davis. “My
father bled for it.”
He went away, and that was the last
Mr. Campbell ever saw of him.
“But how did you get hit in the face
at Shiloh?” I asked.
“Well, sir,” said he, half apologeti
cally, “after I had run a mile or twop
I got careless and looked baek.”
This story reminds me of how one of
Ellsworth Fire Zouaves killed his first
Confederate. He said that he marched
out to the battle of Bull Run, and w T hen
about half way there he met a Johnny
Reb in ambush.
“What did you do then?” I asked.
“Well, sir,” he answered, “I drew
out my revolver and he drew out his
bowie-knife, and then I took the lead
from the start and kept it clear into
Washington City, and—”
“But how did you kill your man ?”
“Run him to death,” was the reply.

“What did papa say when you asked
him for my hand, Paul ?”
“He didn’t say anything, Annabel,”
replied the young man, neivouslj. He
didn’t say a word. He just looked at
me in a hard, cold way, and got off the
high stool and began to slide around
the end of the desk. That’s all he said,
and I came away.”
“But ho would have spoken had you
remained, Paul.”
“I mistrusted that he would, Annabel,
and for that reason I fled. I am fool
ishly sensitive and cannot endure harsh
ness.”
“I fear, ‘dear Paul,” said the girl, ten
derly, with a weary sigh, “that you do
not love me; that your heart is tired of
me and grown cold, or that you have
no sand. Pa is always on the bluff.
He acted just that way to Will Kii-
burn and when he came out from be
hind the desk, Will landed one on the
Beck that taught him some sense. You
weaken too easily, Paul. A ou have
more guff than business.” And rising
to her feet the girl passed away from
his sight, a dreamy vision of summer
loveliness and grace,, fair as the morn
ing, and all that day the heaviness of
the young man’s heart threw a melan
choly cadence into his voice, as he
stood among the threads and sung at
intervals plaintive snatches from the
old, old song, “Ca-asli!”
She had promised to be a sister to
him. He thanked her coldly, but said
that he already had five sisters. “Why,
Mr. Sampson,” said the girl, “I thought
you were an only child.” “I am,” he
responded; “I meant that I have five
sisters such as you offer to be,” and he
trotted to the door.

No Candidate.
Detroit Free Press.
“ Well, Jerry, who is your candidate?”
queried a patrolman the other day of
one of the whitewash brigade at the
Central market.
“I dun hasn’t got any, sah.”
“What! No candidate?”
“No, sah. You see, if I had a can
didate I’d get into a fuss right off.”
“How?”
“Wall, dar’s Reuben ober dar. He’d
cum ober yere an* say: ‘Uncle Jerry,
your candydate ar’ a hoss thief!’ Den
I’d say his candydate was a pirate.
Den he’d say my candydate was a mur
dered. Den I’d say he was a lyar, an’
we‘d git into de awfuliest fight you eber
heard of. We’d be tooken up an’ tried,
an’ Reuben would beg an’ cry an’ git
cl’ar, while de judge would hit me wid
$20 or ninety days.”
“And that’s it?”
“Dat’s it, sah. I’ze dun a heap o’think-
in’ ’bout dis yere candydate bizness, an’
I’ze jist made up my mind not to hav’
any till arter ’leckshun.”
He Loved the Old Flag.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
When I was at Cape May, and print
ed a sketch of Mr. Campbell, from
there, in your columns, that old gentle
man, who was in the cabinet of Frank
lin Pierce, desired me not to print an
anecdote concerning Jefferson Davis,
of which I have since seen mention
made, and consider therefore that some
other personage has put it on paper.
As nearly as I can recollect the story
it was this: Mr. Campbell, being a
young meinber of Pierce’s cabinet, had
much admiration - for Mr. Davis, who
was then in the most athletic time of
his life. In 1S61 Mr. Davis was return
ing from West Point where he had
been a visitor, or something, and he
stopped at the Continental hotel,
Philadelphia. He was in haste at the
time Mr. Campbell called, and his bag
gage was being demanded to go to the
train. Campbell wanted peace and
not war to be the issue of the Presiden
tial election and he had gone to see
Davis with the idea of exercising some
influence over the mind of that wor
thy.
In the campaign of 1S5G. when there
was great imminence of Fremont’s
election, Campbell says that he exer
cised every power the government
could give him to carry Pennsylvania
for Buchanan, whom he did not like.
He saw the satanic spirit of the leading
pro-slavery element in its determina
tion to punish Fremont, who was born
in South Carolina, for having abandon
ed the slavery faith.
When, in 1860, Mr. Campbell found
Continental
They Changed the Subject.
“Yes,” he-said, “life is so lonely.”
“It is very lonely, sometimes,” she
answered.
“Wouldn’t it be sweet to have a little
cottage covered with ivy and honey
suckle and rose bushes ?
“Oh, wouldn’t It?
“And when a fellow comes home tired
from business, to have a nice little wife
meet him at the door with a kiss.”
“Y-e-e-s.”
“And then these summer nights, with
the windows open, the sunset just giv
ing light enough in the cosy parlor, and
—you—I mean a wife at the piano, sing
ing, ‘In the Gloaming.’ It would be
lovely.”
“I—think—it—would—be—nice.”
“And then—”
At this point a care-worn woman
came around the corner with a pair of
twins in a perambulator. A dead si
lence fell upon the summer air for a
little. Then they changed the subject.
