sation was in progress an orderly
came gallopping up the hill aud dis-
mounting, handed the general a dis-
patch He held it in his hand with
out breaking the seal, and said to the
soldier: “You have ridden your
horse hard and he is very much dis-
tressed; unbuckle the girths and let
him breathe.’ ’’
Another and more striking illustra
tion of this tenderness of heart iu the
great commander occurred at Peters
burg during the closing weeks ot the
siege. General Lee's headquarters
were in a private house beyond the ,
reach, it was thought, of the Federal
artillery. One morning lie was stand-
ing, with several members of his stall
under a large tree, when a heavy
shell landed not tar dist.nt, “Gun j
tlemen,” he said, “the enemy have
evidently got in range, and we had;
better retire.” Of course, nobody
would retire until the clieif set the
tent, j then white and yellow and blue and
pink dividing honors. But few red
llowers were seen. I have traveled
many miles where every foot of my
way was one grand profusion ol
beautiful flowers in many varieties.

Swift's Maxims.
G. F. Switt, the millionaire packer
ot Chicago, who died recently, was
regarded as an eminently wise and
shrewd man. Here are some of Mr.
Swift’s Maxims, by following which
any man could make a success:
Den t drink. No man, however
rich, has enough money to waste in
puttiug on style.
The richer a man gets the more
careful he should be to keep his head

The man who does not know Ins

Gen. Gordon has a place in the hearts of the people both north

to hear Gen. Gordon, as he is getting quite old.
