The Siren of Bull Run.
Rev. Michael Ciune In Harper'* Weekly.
In a secluded nook on one of the groat
decks, and with the Mediterranean
sparkling at our feet, and the scenes of
Old World’s battles appearing and dis
appearing, we exchanged our views. I
asked "him what the South thought of
Mr, Lincoln. He answered that up to
the time of Lee’s surrender the South’s
estimate of Mr. Lincoln was low. It
wondered how he held the North to
gether aricl gave him credit for shrewd
ness in doing it. There was, however, a
brief period before the war, when Mr.
Lincoln both surprised and pleased
an influential and intellectual minority
of the Southern people. It was after
his first inauguration. His kindly words
and his hesitation to employ force made
many of the ablest Southerners say:
Let us take him at his word. He
promises a'Constitutional amendment
making slavery a matter for the States
only. What better could we get after
a successful war?” Others said: “We
have been preparing for this thirty
years. We would be foolish to pause
now.” Mr. Lincoln was making con
verts every day. The war propagandists
said to Davis, “You must sprinkle blood
in the face of the Southern people or
the Confederacy will collapse in a
month.” The assault on Fort Sumter
was ordered, and fired the Southern
heart so that Virginia was swept into
the secession vortex. But the battle
for peace did not end even then. The
conversatives said: “It is true that
the South is united more than it was,
but the North is united from the Bea
even to the sea. The mad assault
on Sumter has united twenty million of
whites against eight millions.” Then
the war party said to Davis: “It
is necessary that the first battle shall
end in a victory for the South or the
Sumter card will have been played in
vain.”
Now comes the important part that
only the secretary could tell. A lady
endowed with wonderful beauty left
Richmond for Washington with the
tacit approval of Davis. She ingra
tiated herself into the confidence of
McDowdell’s chief of staff. The officer,
intoxicated by her beauty, ensnared by
her wiles and undreaming of conse
quences, toid her the time of McDow
ell’s advance. She sent the informa
tion to Richmond by <l trusty messenger,
and along ad the telegraph wires around
Richmond ihere ton the summons for
troops from all adjacent places. Tile
batile of >-ull Run was dec,,'. I In-
troops from Ko:th Car-lin.-t, wlio ee
touched from the. cars white the huttis
was in progress. The Confederate
victory war. complete. It, was made to
appear as if rained by 35,00 Confeder
ates aginst So,OOu Federal*.. Th ■ peace
party was silenced and grim war was
on.

by,(he screams of her three children
because they couldn't; be taken along.
But she had her mind taken off her
work at the card party. Of that there
is no doubt, for when she made a mis-
play her partner, a perfect lady, walked
right over her, and then chewed on
her for fifteen minutes. She became
so frightened that the little wits slje
had under her hair fled, and she made
another misplay with another partner,
and this woman, also a perfect lady,
talked to her in a way the woman
should have been ashamed to talk to a
dog. It was more than she could en
dure, and, weeping like a sprinkling
cart, she got up arid went home.
“It did even more than it promised,”
she told her husband. “Nothing has
ever happened to me in all my life that
so effectively took my mind off my
work. Why, there were times when I
even forgot 1 had you and all the chil
dren.” _
Acuta or Chronic—Which?
No matter if your kidney trouble is
acute or chronic. Foley’s Kidney Remedy
will reach vour case. Mr. Claude
Brown, Re.vnoldsville, Ill., writes us
that he suffered many months with kid
ney complaint which baffled all treat
ment. At last he tried Foley’s Kidney
Remedy and a few large bottles effected
a complete cure. Hesays, “It.hasbeen
of inestimable value to me.” Sold at
all druggists.
In a great deal of trepidation a diff-
dent young man called at the office of
the father of the girl he was smitten
with, and stammered:
“Sir, I —I—pardon me, but 1 want to
marry your daughter.”
“I’m busy; go and see her mother,
young man," said the father.
"I have already seen her mother, and
I still wish to marry your daughter.”
"Say, dad, what happens when the
buses are full?” asked the son.
"A discord,” answered his father,
wisely.
Resolutions by Moreland Methodist
Sunday-School.
God, in his all-wise providence, has
called from our Sunday-school by
death Mrs. Kansas Benton. Of the
elements in her make-up none were
more marked than conscientious devo
tion to duty, which she discharged
faithfully and cheerfully. Although
frail in body, she ever stood in the
thickest of the fight. She honored the
Sabbath-school with her presence when
ever possible, ever remembering that
we are workers together with God.
Her life was one of suffering. She had
faith enough in God to say when seized
by her last illness, “Made perfect
through suffering. ” We can never for
get how fervently her prayers ascended
for us all. She didn’t forget to honor
the Lord with her substance. There
fore, be it resolved—
1. That we thank God for her genial
presence and consecration to every
duty.
2. That we will endeavor to emulate
her example, especially in song service,
for she liked to praise Him in song.
3. That "He who tempers the wind
to the shorn lamb” may lighten the
shadows that fall upon those whom she
loved so devotedly—her two sons who
came with her up to the house of God.
4. That a copy of these resolutions
be spread, upon our Sunday-school re
cord, that a copy be sent to her sons,
and also furnished to each of the New-
nan papers and to the Wesleyan Chris
tian Advocate for publication.

Committee.
One of the traveling salesmen of our
town came home to spend the holidays
with his family, a wife and small
daughter.
Everything went lovely until the day
arrived for his return to hiB duties, when
his young daughter was very reluctant
about letting him go. The conversation
ran thus: ,
Father—“Why do you care if I go
away; I’m no relation of yours, am I?”
Child—“Yes, you are; you’re my
father by marriage."
Father—“Weill Then how is your
mother related to you?”
Child—“She’s my mother by borna-
tion.”
It is. related that Sir Nicholas Bacon,
old time English judge, was about to
pass judgment upon a man who had
been guilty of robbery, at that time
punishable by death; bui the culprit
pleaded for mercy on the ground that
ha was related to the judge.
“H...v i* nni /” I-,,; was asked.
“fly lorj,” was the reply, “your
name ■■ Boron, mine is Hog, and hog
uml.Imcon have always been considered
akin.",
“Tliut is true,'' answered Sir Nicho
las, “ime as hog is noirbacon until It is
him_f, nmil you ..re hanged you arti no
relation of mine.”.
When the train stepped at the little
Southern station the Northern tourist
sauntered out on the platform. Under
a scrub-oak stood a lean animal with
scraggy bristles. The tourist was In
terested. "What do you call that?”
ho queried of a lanky native. “Razor-
back hawg." “Well, what is ho doing
rubbing against that tree?” “He’s
stropping himself, mister, jest strop
ping himself.”
Industry, temperance and piety are
the only means of present enjoyment,
and the only true sources of futuro
happiness. »
“That bathing suit is quite a crea
tion, isn’t it?”
‘Well, it’s nearly a creation—made
out of almoBt nothing!”
1 ‘And bo Prof. Gustavus has at last
discovered the missing link! Where did
he find it?”
“Under the bureau, I understand.”
Wife (looking up frpm paper) —
“What was ‘Hobson’s choice,' uny-
wpy?”
Husband—“Mrs. Hobson, I suppose.”
No, Alonzo; a man isn’t necessarily a
coward because he is afraid of a wo
man.

day with the popular heart all over the

Mary, aged seven, was in the hospi
tal after an operation for appendicitis.
One day the surgeon came to see her,
dressed in the white gown he had been
wearing in the-operating mom. The
nurse noticed that Mary seemed much
disgusted about something.
After the doctor had gone she asked
Mary what the matter was. Mury
said she did not like Ur. Brown. That
was strange, we told her, as Lhe doctor
was a jolly man and fond of children.
When pressed for the reason she
said: “He is not nice; he came to see
mi with his night gown on.”

of your medicine and got a $1 bottle. When she had
taken four doses she became all right I often recommend
Cardui to my friends.”
