Warren Leland,
■whom everybody knows as the successful
manager of the
Largest Hotel Enterprises
of America, says that while a passenger from
Mew York ou board a ship going around Capo
Horn, ia the early days of emigration to Cal
ifornia, he learned that one of the officers of
the vessel had cured himself, during the voy
age, of an obstinate disease by the use of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
Since then Mr. Lelaxd lias recommended
Avon's Sarsaparilla in many similar
case.*;, and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect a radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr. ___.LA-*r_Vs farm
laborers bruised his log. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
olfensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr. LelaNit's direc
tion, -was supplied with Aver's Sarsafa
iulla, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed tho sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.
Mr. Leland lias personally used
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
for Rheumatism, with entire s.tccens ; and,
after careful observation, declares that, iv
his belief, there is no medicine in the world
equal to it for the cure of Liver Disorders,
Gout, the effects of high living, Salt
Kliruin, Sores, Eruptions, and all the
various forms of blood diseases.
We have Mr. Lela-d's permission to invito
all who may desire further evidence in regard
to the extraordinary curative powers of
AVer's Saiisapakilla to see him person
ally either at ills mammoth Ocean Hotel,
Long Branch, or at the popular Leland Hotel,
liroadway, 27th and 28th Street., Xew York.
Mr. —eland's extensive knowledge of the
good done by this unequalled eradicator of
blood poisons enables him to give inquirers
much valuable information.

Till. OLD Mill
Here irom the brow of the Mil I look.
Through a lattice of boughs and leaves,
On tbe old gray mil' wilt Its (tumbrel roof.
And the mots on lis rotting eaves,
I hear the clatter that jars lis walls.
And the rush! Nt water's sound,
And I see the black floats ris > and fall
As the wheel goes slowly rcmnd.
I rode there often wh<"-. T w 'S young,
With my grist on the horse before.
And tilked with Nelly the miller's girl.
As I waited my turn at the door.
And while she tossed her ringlets brown,
And flirted and chatted so free.
The wheel might stop or the wheel might go
It was all tbe same to me.
'Tis twenty years since last I stood,
On the spt I stand to-day,
And Nelly is well, and the miller is dead,
And tbe mill and I are gray.
But both, till we fall into ruin and wreck,
To our tortnne of toil are bound; ,
And tne man goes and the stteam flows,
And lhe wheel mov. s slowly rouud,

OF THE
Hon. John W. Daniel.
of Virginia.
DELIVERED IN THE HALL 01' TIIE HOUSE OP
RETBESEN TATIVES AT WASHINGTON ON
THE OCCASION OP THE DEDICATION
OF THE WASHINGTON MONU
MENT, SATURDAY, FEB
RUARY 21ST,. 1885.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Com
mission, Americans, my Countrymen:
Solitary and alone in Its grandeur stands
forth the character of Washington in his
tory; solitary and alone, like some peak
that has no fellow in the mountain range
of greatness.
"Washington," says Guizot, 'Wash
n gton did the two greatest things which in
politics it is permitted to man to attempt.
He maintained by Peace tbe independence
of his country, which he had conquered by
War. He founded a free government in
the name of the principles of order, and
b_ re-establishing their sway."
Washington did, indeed, do these things.
But he did more. Out of disconnected
fragments, he moulded a whole and made
it a couutry. He achieved his country's
independence by the sword. He main
tained that independence by peace, as by
war. He finally established both his coun
try and its freedom in an enduring frame
of constitutional government, fashioned to
make Liberty and Union one and insepa
rable. These four things together consti
tute the unexampled achievement oi Wash
ington.
The world has ratified" the profound re
mark of Fisher Ames that "he changed
mankind's ideas of political greatness "
It has approved the opinion of Edwaid
Everett that "he was the greatest of good
men, and the best of great men." It has
felt for him with Erskine "an awful rever
ence." It has attested the declaration of
Brougham that "he was the greatest man
of his own or of any age." It, is matter of
fact to-day as when General Hamilton, an
nouncing his death to the army, said: "The
voice of praise w uld in vain to endeavor
to exalt a name unrivaled on the lists of true
glory " America still pro laims him, as
did General Henry Lee on the floor of the
House of Representatives, "The man
first in peac ', first in war, and first in the
hearts of his countrymen." A.id from be
yond the sea the voice of Allien, breathing
the soul of all lands and people, still pro
nounces the blessing: "Happy are you who
have for tbe sublime and permanent basis
of your glory the love of country demons
s rated by deeds."
Tell me, ye who have unrolled the scroll
that tell the tale of lite rise and fail of nations;
before whose eyes has moved the panorama
of mttti'tt struggles, achievement, aud pro
gression, find you atiywue.e the story of
oue whose ltfework is nine than a frag
ment of that which in his life is set before
you? Conquerors, who have strot hed
your scepters over boundless territories;
founders of empires, who have held your
dominions in the rei.n of law: reformers,
who hive cried aloud in the wilderness of
oppression; teachers, who have striven with
reason to cast down fa se doctrine, heresy,
and schism; statesmen, whose btains have
throbbed with mignty plans for the ameli
oration of hum-n society; scar-ctowned
Vikings of the sea; illustrious heroes of
the 1 i.d, who b,.ve borne the standards of
siege and bank— come forth in blight ar
ray from your glorious fan s—.md would
ye be measured by the measure of his
stature? Behold you not in hnt a higher,
nobler, more venerable presence?
Statesman, Soldier, Patriot, Sage, Re
former of Creeds, Teacher of Truth and
Justice, Achiever and Preserver of Liberty,
the First of Men, Founder aud Savior of
his Country, Father of his P.opl.e—this is
He, solitary and unapproachable in his
grandeur. Oh! felicitious Providence, that
gave to America our Washington!
THE MONUMENT.
High soars iuto the sky to-day—h.gher
than the Pyramids or the dorao of St.
Pau 's or St.. Peter's, the loftiest and most
imposing structure that man has ever rear
ed—high soars iuto the sky to wht-ro
"Enth niftiest yetrus to moaS a star "
the monument which "We, the people of
the United States," have erected to his
memory.
It is a fitting monument, more fitting
than any statue; for his image could ouly
disply him in somo one phase of his varied
character —as the Commanler, the States
man, the Planter of Mt. Vernon, >• the
Chief .Magistrate of his country. So art
has fitly typified bis exulted life in yon
plain, lofty shaft. Such is his greatness
that only by a symbol cou d it be repre
sented. As Justice must be blind in order
to be whole in contemplation, so History
must bs silent that by this mi. lity sign sho
may unfold the amplitude of her story.
VIRGINIA.
It has seemed fitting to you, Mr. Chair
man and gentlemen of the Commission,
that a citizen of the State which was the
birthplace and the home of Washington—
whose House of Burgesses—of which he
was a member—made the first burst of <p
p .sitin against .he St.rap Act although
less pecuniarily interested therein than
th. ir New England brethren, and was the
first representative body to recommend a
General Congress of the Colonies; of the
State whose Masou drew tha*. Bill of Righn
which has been cal'ed the Magna Charte>
of America; whose Jefferson wrote, .hoe-
Richard Henry Lee moved, the Declaratioi
that these Colonies be "free and independ
ent States;" wbose Heary condensed thi
revolution into the electric sentence, 'Lib
erty or Death;'' of the State whicli
cemented union with that vast territorial
dowry out, of which five States were cary
ed, haviDg now here some ninety represen
tatives; of tbat State wbose Madison wa
named "the Father of tbe Constitution, '
an. whose Marshall in came its most etni
neot expounder; of the State which hold
within its bosom the sacred ashes of Wash
ington, and cherishes not le.s tbe ptinci
pies which once kindled them with fires ol
Heaven descended; it has seemed fitting to
you, gentlemen, that a citizen of that Stat*
should be also invited to deliver an address
,»n taiis occasion.
Would, with all my heart, that a worthi
er one had been your choice. Too bighlj
do X esteem the position in which you place
mo r., feel au,_ht but solemn distrustful
nfz-ftrtid'ttpniftriension. -Ind wbo, indeed,
might riot .brink from such a theatre when
a Winthrop's eloquence still thrilled all
hearts, with Wasltiugton the theme?
Yet, in Virginia's name, I thank you for
the honor done her. Site deserved it.
Times there -are when even hardihood is
virtue, and to such virtue alone do I la>
claim in venturing to abiue your choice to
be her spokesman.
None more than her could I offend d : d I
take opportunity to give her undue exalta
tion, foremost son does not belong to
her alone, nor does she so desire him. His
parr and her part iv the Revolution would
have oeen t;s naught butfor what was so glo
riously done by jjis brothers in council and J n
arms, and by bis sister Colonies, who kept
the mutual pledge of "Life, Fortune, and
Sacred Honor."
MOUNT VERNON.
One bundled and fifty threo years ago,
ou the banks of the Potomac, in the coun
ty of Westmoreland, on a spot marked
now only by a memorial stone; of tbe
blood of the people, whom I have faintly
described; fourth in descent from the Colo
nel John Washington, whom I have nam
e , there was born a sen to Augustine and
Mary Washington. And not many miles
above his birth-place is the dwelling where
he lived, and now lies buried.
B me upon tho bosom of that river
which here mirrors Capitol, dome and mon
umental shaft, in its seaward flow, the riv
er itself seems to reverse its current, and
hear us silently into the past. Scarce has
tbe vista of the city faded from our gaze
when we behold on the woodland height
thatswells above tbe wat.rs—amidst walks,
and groves, and gardens, tbe white porch of
that old Colouial Plantation Home, which
has becomo the shrinn of so many a pilgri
mage.
Contrasting it as there it stands to-day,
with the maible halls which we have left
behind us, we realize tho truth of Emer
son; "The atmosphere of moral sentiment
is a region of grandeur which reduces all
material magnificence to to.ys, yet opens to
every » n-ioh that his reason the dooro of the
Universe."
The quaint old wooden mansion, with
tho stately but simple old fashioned ma
hogany furniture, real and ucgarnislieri;
the swoid and relics of campaigns ami
scenes familiar to every school-buy now;
the key of the Bastile hanging in the hall
incased iv glass, calling to mind Tom
Paiue's happy expression: "Tnat the prin
ciples of the American Revolution opened
the Basti c is not to be doubted; therefore
the key comes to the right place;" tbe
black velvet coat worn when the farewell
address to tbe Aimy was made; the room,
all in nicety of preparation as if expectant
of the coming host—we move amongst
these memorials of days and men long van
ished—we stand under the great trees and
watch the solemn river, in its never ceasing
flow--'re gaze upon the simple tomb,
whose silence is unbroken, save by the low
murmur of the waten or the wild bird's
note —and we are enveloped in an atmos
phere ol moral grandeur, which no pageant
ry of moving men, nor splendid pile can
generate. Nightly, on the plain of Mara
thon, the Greeks have the tradition that
there may yet te ln-aid the neighing of
chargers, the rushing of sha lows of sp< c
tral war. In the spell that broods o'er the
sacred graves of Ver. on, Patriotism, Hon
or, Courage, Justice, Virtue, Tr ith, seem
bodied forth—the only imperishable reali
ties of man's being.
YO-TH Of* WASHINGTON.
There emerges from the shades the figure
of a youth over whose cradle had hovered uo
star of destiny, nor dandled a royal crown
an ingenuous youth, and one who in his
early days gave auguries of great powers:
the boy whose strong aim could fling a
stone across the Rappahannock; whose
strong will could tame the most fiery horse;
whose just spirit made him the umpiro of
his fellows; whose obedient heart bowed to
a mother's yearning for her son, and laid
down the Midshipman's warrant in the
British Navy, which answered his first am.
bltiou's dream —the student transcribing
mathematical problems, accounts and busi
ness forms, or.listening to the soldiers and
seamen of vessels in the river, as they tell
of "hair breadth 'scapes by flood and field:"
the early moralist in his thirteenth year
compiling matured "Rules for behavior and
conversation;" the surveyor of sixteen, ex
plotiug the wilderness for Lord Fairfax,
sleeping on the ground, climbing mountains,
swimming rivers, killing aud cooking his
own game, noting in his diary soils, min
erals and locations, and making maps which
are models of nice and accurate draught,
manship; the incipient soldier, studying
tactics under Adjutant Muse, and taking
lessons in broadsword fence from the old
soldier of fortuue, Jacob Van Braaro—the
Major aod Adjutant General of the Virgin
ia frontier forces at nineteen—we seem to
see him yet as there he stood, a model of
manly beauty in his youthful prime--a man
in all that makes a man, ere manhood's
years have been fulfilled —standing on the
threshold of a grand eareer —'hearing his
days before him, and the trumpet of his
life."
THE SEVEN YEARS, WAR.
The scene changes. Out into the world
of stem adventure he passes—taking as na
turally to the field, aud the frontier as the
eagle to the air. At the age of twenty-one
he is riding from Williamsburg to the
French post at Vinango in western Penn
sylvania, on a mission for Governor Din
widdie, whioh requires "courage to cope
Bptcti\tQV.
with savages,, and sagacity to negotiate with
white men," en that mission whioh Edward
Everett recognizes as "the first movement
.f a military nature which resulted in tbe
tstablishnient of American Independence."
Vt twenty-two be has flashed his maiden
-•word—has beard tbe bullets whistle and
found "something charming in the sound."
md soon he is Colonel of the Virginia regi
■nent in the unfortunate affair _t Fort Ne
'eßßtty, and is compelled to retreat after
iising a sixth of his command. He quits
-he service on a point of military etquettc
md honor, but at twenty-three be re ap
t-ears as Volunteer Aid by the side of Brad
lock in the ill starred expedition against
Port Dv Quesne, and is the ouly mounted
■(fleer unscathed in the disaster, escaping
with four bullets through his garments, and
after having two horses shot under him.
The prophetic eye of Samuel Davies has
■low pointed him out as "that hemic youth,
Col. Washington, whom I can but hope
Providence has hither r o preserved in so
signal a manner for some important service
'o his cotiDtvy;'and soon the prophecy s
'nl-ller?. Tin- p *r.e year be ia in coma, -r.i
if tho Virginia frontier forces, arduous con
diets of varied fortunes are ere long ended,
and, on the 25th of November, 1759, he
marches into the reduced fortress of Fort
Dv Quesne, where Pittsburgh now stands,
and tbe Titans of Industry wage the eternal
war of Toil—marches with the advanced
guard of his troops, and plants the British
flag over its smoking ruins.
That s If same year Wolfe, another young
soldier of Britain, has scaled and triumph
ed ou the Heights of Abraham, his flame of
valor quenched as it lit the blaze of victory;
Canada surrender?; the seven years' war is
done. Tne French power in America is
broken, and the vast region west of the
.-lleghan.es, from the lakes to the Ohio,
embracing its valley and tributary streams,
is under the sceptre of King George. Amer
ica bas been made whole to the English
speaking race, to become in time the Great
er Britain.
RETIREMENT.
Thus, building wiser tban he knew,
Washington had taken no smali pait in
cherishing the seed of a nascent nation.
Mount Vernon welcomes back tbe soldier
of twenty-seven, who has become a name.
Domestic felicity spreads its charms around
him with the "agreeable partner" whom he
be bas taken to bis bosom, and he dreams
of "morehappiness than he has experienced
in the wide and bustling world."
Already, ere his sword had found its scab
bard, the people of Frederick county had
made him their membar of the House of
Burgesses. And the quiet yeais roll by as
the planter, merchant and representative,
superintends his plantation ships, his crops,
posts his books, keeps bis diary; chases the
fox for amusement, or rides over to Anna
polis aud leads the dance at the Maryland
capital—alternating between these private
pursuits—and serving his people as member
of the Legislature and Justice of the Coun
ty Court,
REVOLUTION.
But ere long ibis happy life is broke i.—
The air t- electric with the curie ds of revi.-
Ij'i.vi Eti'litiH has laanclied forth ou the
fatal policy of taxing ber colonies without
i heir consult. The spirit of liberty and
tesistance is aroused. He is loth to pait
irom the Mother Land, which he still ciits
'home." But she turns a deaf iar to na
» n Tne titst Colonial Congress is called.
He is a delegate and tides to Piiilad. lpiita
with Henry and Peudletou. The blow at
Lexington is struck. The people rush to
arms. The sons of the cavaliers spring to
the side of the sons of the pilgrims. "Un
happy it is," he says, "that a brother's
swoid bas been sheathed in a brother's
breast, aud that the once happy plains of
America are to be either drenched in
blood or inhabited by r laves. Sad alterna
tive! But how can a virtuous man hesitate
in his choice? He becomes commander-in
chief of the American forces. After seven
years' war, he is the deliverer of his coun
try. The old confederation passes away.—
The Constitution is established. He is
twice chosen President, and will not con
sent to longer serve.
Once again Mount Vernon's grateful
shades receive him, and there he—world
crewned Hero now—becomes the simple
citizen, wishing his fellow-men "to see the
wh.le world in peace, and its inhabitants
ore band of b. others, striving who could
contribute most to the happiness of man
kind"—without a wish for himself, but "to
live and die an honest man on bis farm." A
speck of war dots tho sky. John Adams
calls him ferth as Lieut General and Com
mander-in Chief to lead once more. But
the cloud vanishes.
TEACF —DEATH.
Peace reigns. The lark sings at Heav
en's gate in the fair morn of the new nation
Serene, contented, yet in the streugth of
manhood, though on the verge of three
score years aud ten, he looks forth—the
great farmer from his pleasant fields—tbe
loving Patriarch from the bowers of home—
10. tks forth and sees tbe work of his bands es
tablished and a free aud happy people. Sud
denly comes the mortal stroke with severe
c tld. The agony is soon over. He feels
bis own dyiig pulse—the hand relaxes—then
he murmurs, "it is well," and Washingion
is no more. While yet Time had crumbled
never a stone, dimned the lustrous surface,
prone to earth, the might column fell.
Washington, the friend of Liberty, is no
more.
The sol-mn cry filled the universe.—
Amidst the tears of his People, the bowed
beads of kings, and the lamentations of the
nations, they laid him there to rest upon
the banks of the river whose murmurs were
his boyhood's mu-sic—th at river which, ris
ing in mou itain fastnesses amongst the
grandest works of nature, and reflecting in
its course the proudest works of man, is a
symbol of his history, which, in its cease
less and ever widening flow, is a symbol of
his eternal fame
CHARACTER OF WASHINGTON.
No su 11 could now be made of Wa-hing
ton's character that did not exhaust lan
guage of its tributes, aud repeal virtue by
all her names. No mm could be made of
his achievements that did not unfold the
history of his age and its progress—the his
tory of man and his destiny to be free. But,
whether character or achievement be re
garded, the riches before us only expose the
poverty of praise. Bo clear was he in his
great offit., that no ideal of the Leader or
Rultr can be formed that does not shrink
by the side of the reality. And so bas he
impressed himself upon the minds of men,
tbat no man can justly aspire to be the chief
NO. 27.
of a great, free people who does not adopt
bis principles and emulate his example.
Drawing his sword from patriotic im
pulse, without ambition and without malice,
he wielded it without vindicativeness and
sheathed it without reproach. All that hu
manity could conceive, he did to suppress
the cruelties of war, aud soothe its sorrows.
He never struck a coward's blow. To him
age, infancy, and helplessress were evti
sacred. He tolerated no •.xtrenity utiles*
to curb the excesses of his enemy, and b.
never p tiso ted the sting of defeat by tb
exultation of the conquertr.
Peace he weltjoraed as tho he-ven-seu'
herald of Friendship; and no country has
given him greater honor thau that which
he defeatad, for England has been glad t.
claim him as the scion of her blood; proud,
like our sister American States, to divide
with Virgini- the honor of producing him.
Fascinated by the perfection of the man
we are loath to break the mirror of admira
tion into the fragments of analysis. But,
lo! as we attempt it, every fragment be
comes the miniature of such sublimity and
beauty, that the destructive hand can oul-.
multiply the forms of immortality.
Grand and manifold as were its phases,
there is yet no difficulty in under tanding
the character of Washington. He was no
Veiled Prophet. He never acted a part.—
Simple, natural and unaffected, his life lies
before us—a fair and open manuscript. Hi
disdained the arts which wrap power in
mystery in order to magnify it. He prac
tlced the profound diplomacy of truthful
speech—the consummate tact of direct at
tentiou. Looking ever to the All-Wise Dis
poser of events, he relied on that Providenc.
which helps men by giving them high heartl
and hopes to help themselves with the meant
which their Creator ha 3 put at their service.
There was no infirmity in his conduct ovei
which Charity must fling its veil; no tainl
of selfishness from which Purity averts her
gaze; no dark recess of intrigue that must
be lit up with colored panegyric; no subter
ranean passage to be trod in trembling ies
there be stirred the ghost of a buried crime
A true sun of nature was George Wash
ington—of nature in her brightest intelh
gence aud noblest mould; and difficulty, i'
such there be in comprehending him, is onlj
that of reviewing from a single standpoint
the vast procession of those civil and mili
tary achievements which tilled nearly half
a-century of his life, and in realizing tht
magnitude of those qualities which were re
quisite to their performance—the difficult
of fashioning in our mi ids a pedestal broad
enough to bear the towering figure, whosi
greatness is diminished by nothing but tbi
perfection of its proportions. If the ex
terior—in culm, grave and resolute repos.
—ever impressed the casual observer at
austere and cold, it was only because h<
did not reflect that no great heart like hi
could have lived unbrokeu unless bound by
iron nerves in an iron frame. Tbe Com
mander of Armies, the Chief of a People, thi
Hope of Nations, citild not wear his heai
upon his sleeve; and yet his sternest wi
could nor conceal its I gh and watm puis:
ti .ns. U:idci- th ■ enemy's tuns a' B nto
h did n.t foiget. to in.vttuct. bis aj_eut t
administer gt:_z_.«:'.isly of chanty to hit
needy neighbors at home. The suffering
of women and children, thrown adrift, b
wax, and of his bleeding comrades, piercei
his soul. And the moist eye md trembling
v..ice with which in* bade I . iweTl
veterans, bespoke the uii'lt-.tii gteuderne:
of his n iture, even as the-tj-jrm-winn make
music in its undertones.
Disinterested Patriot, he would rec. ive
no pay for his military services. Refusing
gifts, be was glad to guide the benefaction
of a grateful State to educate the childrei
of his falle.i braves in the institution at
Lexington, which yet bears his name.
Without any of the blemishes that mark
the tyrant, he appealed so loftily to the vir
tuous element in man, that he almost crea
ted the qualties of which his country need
ed the exercise ; and yet he was so mag
nanimous and forbearing to the weaknesses
of otheis, that he often obliterated the vice
of which he feared the consequence. But
his virtue was more than this. It was of
that daring, intrepid kind, that, seizing
principle with a giant's grasp, assumes re
spousibility at any hazard, mfifers sacrifice
without pretense to martyrdom, bears cal
umny without reply, imposes superior w 11
and understanding on all around it, capitu
lates to no unworthy triump., but nra-t
carry all things at the point of a clear and
blameless conscience.
Invested with the powers of a Dictator,
the country bestowing them ftlt no distrus'
of his iutegrity ; he, receiving them, gave
assurance that, as the sword was the last
resort to Liberty, so it should be the first
thing laid aside when Liberty was won.—
And keeping the faith in all things, he left
mankind be*ildered whether to admire him
most for what he was, or wnat he would
not be Over and above all his virtt 'S was
the matchless manhood of personal honor,
to which C.mfidence gave in safety the key
of every treasure, on which Temptation
dared not smile; on which Suspicion never
cast a fiown. And why prolong the cata
-1 gue ? If you are presented with medals of
Ctesar, of Ti.jan, or Alexander, ou exam
ining their features _ ou aro still led to ask,
what was their stature ai d the forms of
their persons ? but if yo" discover in a heap
of ruins the head or the limb of an antique
Apollo, be not anxious about the other
parts, but rest assured tbat they were all
conformable to those of a god.

low Two Augusta Confederates Made a
Narrow Escupe from Capture.
The last winter at the war, Lieut. Carter
Berkeley, of the Confederate artillery, and
he writer entered tbe Federal lines some
listance below Winchester, at which point
Sheridan's army was then in winter-quar
ters. We passed the Shenandoah River and
two picket-posts between two days in a
small boat barely large enough to hold us
md our trappings. Our horses were driven
into the river, and (as is the case invaria
bly) they swam out boldly for the opposite
shore, although it was invisihle. Follow
ing in our canoe we caught them, and re
sumed our route across the country, always
careful to follow by-paths and unfrequented
roads. About dark, after a cold ride
brough snow and ice, we halted at a farm
house in the county of Jefferson, the hospi
table host, Dr. Williams, kindly inviting va
to remain for the night. Apprehending no
langer, we felt secure and comfortable,
-.nd enjoyed a good supper and a pleasant
.vening with the Doctor and his pretty
laughters. It was late when we retired
o what we hoped would be peaceful slura
>ers. I bad scarcely fallen asleep, when,
"Wake up. wake up! the yankees are here!
he house is surrounded! what are you go
ng to do? Don't shoot, the house will be
ournt down!" and a thousand other excla
nations and ejaculations greeted my un
willing ears. Our overcoats were in the
hall, and the delighted yanks getting them
bought it would be as easy to capture the
•rearers. Looking through the window,
ye could see cavalrymen mounted and
lavalrymen dismounted running hither
md thither, some with pistol in hand,
-ome with carbine, others with drawn sa
tre, Below—for we were up-stairs—could
ie heard the jingle of spurs, the rattle of
; tine, mingled with the oaths of the sol
liery, which together made a bedlam worse
Wan Hades.
What shall we do? Can we escape?
-thoot tbe man with the light as they come
tp the stairs, mingle with the crowd, and
ben take to our heels, flashed through our
muds as fast as lightning across the hear
•ns! We must surrender! There is no
scape! On to prison! on to starvation!
0 death! farewell, comrades, friends, coun
ty. We have resolved io sun ender! What
Ist? Can two men beat three hundred?
Can two men break through the crowd?
no! there is but one thing to do and
hat is surrender. We have decided and
•nly wait for the appearance of the enemy,
'.i-hold! the two beautiful daughters of our
i*t, standing like, spectres at our door, at
it-open dooi! One of them, at least, can
e.k. -'D n't j-iv, v; ! D n't sumndoi!"
ie exclaims. Wbai can we do? Ouly two
ten! follow us! lead on: we follow, but
vherefort! Taking us on tiptoe through
he upper hall silently, breathlessly—
vipe.Cßs'y. I though*. Our guiles hf.l'ed
. -rind .- iaed it, ..td said •Jump!''*
m.pi'd, and i. d in'l know to Oris day
ii.iiher they pushed us out 0. we jumped
ait of our own volition. Be that as it
nay, on the roof of a porch we found our
selves, with yankees iv front, yankees on
he left of us. and yankees behind us—es
pecially behind us. Here they are! here
they gol catch 'em! halt! stop! fire! shoot!
-ill 'em! bang! bang! bang! s-s-sip! bang!
off the porch, on the ground, in the snow,
over the garden feuce, through the shrub
bery! Oh! those blessed rose bushes and
liiacs!
I havo heard persons say, the garden was
iot the place for shrubbery ; they are mista
ken. On, on, we run through a perfect hail
of bullets, across the field, and into a dense
woodland. Our enemy, trying in vain to
to tear down the fence, lose time by it, and
have to ride around to a gate. We have a
good start. Oh legs !Oh seven-league
boots ; step far : step often ; th?y come,
they come. We have reached the woods ;
vow for tbe river; on !on ! The snow is
hard frozen, and we leave no tracks. Onr
pursuers aro bewildered, and rid- in all di
rections, halloing and cursing looking be
hind trees and up them. On, on, we go,
almost dead, out of breath, but not void of
hope. Xenophon's ten thousand, when
they beheld the sei, on their celebrated re
peat, all began to yell, the "sea! the sea!"
But they did not feel greater joy, than _W
we—worn down like deer by tbe stag
hound—feel when we r.-cbed the river,
under whoso friendly banks, hidden away,
speechless, and almost dead, we froze un
til the morning. The Yankees, battled
and disgusted, after hunting up and down
the river, rode off. They went back to tbe
farm-house and informed our friends that
they had killed us, and left our dead bodies
in the woods. We, when morning came,
iike unto the fox, returned to the starling
point: -oii'id our horses, of course, taken,
and .he family lameating .._,'. fate. We
are one hundred and thiity miles from
where we ought to be, and no horses—legs
run down—worn out lust night ; must have
horses _nd must change base of operations
or the enemy will be upon us again—old
darkie went to Wiuch*-ster and informed
Yanks. Some day I will relate to you tha
story of our c.pture.

The Dirty Dandrnff.
Dandrnff is di ty and disagreeable in ev
ery way. lt soils the rl..thing continually,
and is accompanied by a hardly l.ss annoy
ing sensation of itching. The scalp is dis
eased. There is nothing iv the world so
thoroughly adapted to this trouble as Park
er's Hair Balsam. It cleanses and _eals
the scalp, stops the falling hair and restores
its or ginal softness, gloss and color. Is
not oily, highly perfumed, an elegant dress
ing. Very economical, as only a small oc
casional application keeps the hair in per
fect condition.
