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. Runs Smooth. It Never Brooklyn Eagle. “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.

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. OM POUND THE CELEBRATED NERVE TONIC. A Word to the Nervous You are pain “ 7 awa - e — " Brace Up.
