Tooil tliat I'll lie on hands again Shortly I" After going the rounds of the hos pitals in and adjacent to the field of Antietara, Captain Looker wa3 asso ciated with Surgeon General Weber and other Ohio Surgeons as a detail to escort an ambulance train filled with wounded soldiers, down to Frederick, Md., wheroall the churches, hotels, and public buildings of all kinds had been prepared for their recepiion. On the way down, and reaching a little village called Middletown just after dark, the citizens of the town insisted that the train should stop long enough for them to supply the wounded men with cups of coffee, tea, etc. This request was complied with, and the train lay there three or four hours. During the delay Surgeon General Weber and Captain Looker walked through the village, making inquiries for Ohio soldiers, and, much to their surprise, learned that Lieutenant Col onel R. B. Hayes had been brought there from South Mountain, where he was wounded (and only a few miles from Middletown,) and wa9 then be lieved to be somewhere in the village. Procuring a lantern, they began to explore the town in search of Colonel Hayes. After visiting about a dozen houses in which were wounded ofll- cers and soldiers, and holding the light of tho lantern in the faces of tho poor fellows, they came across a little old dilapidated two-story brick build ing, and going up a rioKety pair ot stairs, and through a narrow hall Hanked on both sides with diminutive rooms, were rewarded by the discove ry of Colonel Hayes, lying in bed, and attended by his faithful aud lov ing wife and his brother-in-law, nnd surgeon of his regiment, Dr. Joe Webb. Mrs. Hayes had only just found her husband, after having looked through the hospitals from Washington City to Middletown. The Colonel and his lady expressed delight at the visit from Ohio men, and permitted SurgeonGeneralWeber to examine tho wound. Aftera pleas ant chat, and a detailing of news from homo, the Ohio gentlemen took their departure. It seems that a few hours before the visit, the.Colonel, fearing mortification, had requested Surgeon Webb to amputate his arm, but Dr. Webb had deoiced not to do so, and to make an attempt to save the arm. After exnmiuiiicr the wound. Surgeon General Weber corroborated Dr. Webb's decision, and left both the Colonel and his good wife in the best of spirita. Little did Surgeon General Weber and his companion think then that the Wills dingy room in the village of Middletown contained the future President of the. United States. The parting words of the Colonel to his Ohio visitors, as he lay there suffering with his wounds, were: "2'cllOov. Todd that I'll be on hands again shortly!" His future career proved that he was -always "on hand" when hard fighting and sound judgment were needed during the remainder of the war of tho rebellion. This little sketch is contributed a9 detailing in some measure the char acteristics of the chosen leader of the Republican party in tho coming cau vass for the Presidency of the United States Cin. Commercial. AX OLD SINXER. How Tilden Refused, to Furnish 3Ion . cy to.BringHome the Dead Body of His Own Xcpliew. From the Laporto(Pa.) Press and Standard. We publish in another column a statement of Captain Edward Miller, of Elkland, which presents SaimielJ. Tilden in a new light to our Sullivan county voters. If this story had been circulated without foundation, or if Captain Miller wasau unknown man, we would not give any credence to it ; but coming as it does from the lips of a well known gentlemen from the west of our count, a good soldier du riug the war, a man of recognized in tegrity, and one who would not stoop to furnish false intelligence, we can not help but believe it. It is damning evidence. SamuelJ. Tilden stands out as one of the mean est men whom the late war has un earthed from their dena. With $8, 000,000, with no family of his own, with a known income of $10S,000r with a princely home with princely sur roundings, this man who pretends to have loved thesoldiers, refused togive $40 to procure the body of his nephew for that nephew's wife. A STATEMENT. Oliver S. Tilden was the nephew of Samuel J. Tilden. Ho mustered into service on the 13th of June, 1SG1, as Captain of Company E, Thirty-eighth Regiment New York Volunteers. Samuel J. Tilden opposed his" going into the war, and used every effort to prevent him. Failing in doing this he insured bis life for $1,000 to be paid to his family, which oonsisted of a wife and two children. My name is Edward" Miller. I en listed at the same time that Captain Tilded did, and mustered in as a pri vate. Was promoted First Lieuten ant of Company B, Thirty-eighth New York Volunteers. At the battle of Williamsburg I lost my left arm. After recovering from my wound I was put upon recruiting service in New York City. Oliver S. Tilden was killed atChac .tilly, Sept. 1, 1S62.

The offi cers of his regiment raised $80, and sent the body to me, writing at the same time that his uncle, Samuel J. Tilden, would pay tho remainder. After the body came I went to Tilden and told him the circumstances. He was very indignant; said that he had done ail that he intended to do for Ol iver; that he went into the war against his wishes, and that he would not be liable for any expenses. I told him that Mrs. Tilden had a3ked for the body, and that it was in response to that request that the officers had forwarded it. Mr. Tilden said'that he did not care ; that he was not respon sible for that. I then asked him if he wished me to pay the $40. He re plied that I might do as I choose about it. I paid the money out of my own pocket not wishing to call upon tho widow of Captain Tilden for it, who only had the $1,000 for her sup port. The money has never been paid to me. Edward Milleb. CAPTAIN TIIiDEN AND CDTANTILLY. Chicago, October 10, 1S76. To the Editor of tho Inter-Ocean. Referring to a statement republished in The Inter Ocean of this date from the Lapote (Pa.) Press and Standard regarding Captain Tilden's death, and the refusal of his uncle to contrib ute nnyth-ing toward his funeral expeuces, I beg to say that I can cor roborate that statement from my per sonal acquaintance with tho Captain and the general hearsay in the regim ent and brigade to which he was at tached. On tho afternoon of the 1st September, 1SG2, 1 commanded a com pany of the Oue Hundred and First New York Volunteers, attached to Birney's Brigade, Kearny's Division, Heintzimau's Corp3, army of the Po tomac. Brigaded with us was the Thirty-eighth New York Volunteers, and no better or braver officer marched into action on that fatal evening than Captain Oliver S. Tilden, of that regi ment. During that brief but hot en gagement, fought in the midst of a violent thunderstorm and heavy downpour, the division had to mourn the lose of its dashing commander, and of many a brave and noble soul. I kuew Captain Tilden well, had mar ched beside him during the swelter ing nights of the seven days' retreats, and spoke to him while forming line previous to our advance into that fatal corn-field. When the shades of night olooud ' nruuntl limb memorable fight, and tho order came to march for Fairfax, there was gloom indeed in the ranks of the fighting division. Kearney was missing his death was not fully assured till next morning and a gallant friend and comrade had bit the dust. Among the officers and men of the Thirty eighth there fell a deep and abiding sorrow. Tilden was a genial, whole souled fellow, beloved by his men and a favorite with the entire brigade. However his slippery uncle may have felt toward rthe Union cause, the nephew was as true as steel, as brave as a lion, and a soldier of whom any army might feel proud. The state ment made regarding his uncle's treatment of the dead patriot's re mains was getierally known to and unfavorably commented on by the officers of the regiment and brigade. E. N. L. TILDEN'S INCOME FRAUD. An Authoritative Statement by Mr. Blaine In his speech atXenia, Ohio, Octo ber 3d, Senator Blaine, for the first time during this campaign, referred to the charges against Tilden relating to his unpaid income tax. Mr. Blaine stated that in his speeches thus far he had refrained from any references to the gigantic scandal in regard to Mr. Tilden's unpaid income tax. He had never been in the habit of making at tacks on personal oharacter in his po litical speeches, though few men in public life had more provocation to do so. But, said he, "I hold In my hand a semi-official letter from an of ficer in the treasury department, wholly unsolicited by me, but special ly authorizing me to state publicly that, from the best information pos sessed by the department, 3Ir. Tilden oives the United States to-day from $150,000 to $250,000 on account of un jyaid income tax ; and this semi-official letter authorizes mo further to state that, by a recent decision of the United States Circuit Court at Provi dence, R. I., it is believed the whole of this vast sum, amounting to prob ably a quarter of a million of dollars, can be recovered for the benefit; of the United States treasury. I have, of course, no personal' knowledge of the subject; but I make this statement on the best authority in the United States." Mr. Blaine concluded upon this sub ject as follows: And now, in view of these facts you can begin to appreciate the extraordi nary farce of presenting Mr. Tilden to the people in disguise of a reformer. If there be any tax that a man is abso lutely criminal in withholding it is the income tax, for that was a tax that was paid only by those who had the ability to pay. Taxes of various kinds on your houses, your farms, and your personal property often bear with se verity on the tax payer, but the in come-tax was based on the fact of the money actually received, and, in Mr. Tilden's case, the amount received ran up to many millions of net in come during thayeara which thegov- . ... i i . - r r - i - BROWNVILLE, NEBRASKA, THUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1876. ernment is now Investigating. Un less Mr. Tilden's friends can make some other answer on his behalf than the technical eVasiVo pleas already filed, I respectfully commend them to a prayerful reading of the fifth chapter of tho Acts of the Apostle a chapter whioh contains a most useful lesson in connection with the sin of withholding a part of the price. tAbsalom as a Reformer. The reform claims of the Democrats have subjected them to a good many sharp raps during this campaign. One of the best of these was administered by Gen. Harrison in his speech at In dianapolis recently, when hesaid: "I think Absalom was the original pro totype of this modern Democratic Re former. The first analogy I find is this: that Absalom was first a rebel and then a reformer. Laughter. Well, this is pretty close toNt as preachers generally get to It, 1 think. He took treason into his heart against his old father, God's anointed King, and then he went into the highways just like Hendricks and Voorhees and he said to the people: 'Your course is just and right, but the King hath deputed no man to hear thee. O-o-o-o-h-h, that I were Judge in Is rael! that any man that had any in terest or matter might come unto me, aud I would do him justice.' Great laughter. Now, Isn't that the lan guage of Tilden when he was told of his nomination ? Isn't that a close paraphrase of his words when he strutted up and down like a turkey cock, 'That's because I'm a reformer.' Laughter. The end of that story is the best part of it, as it ought to be of every story. After it tells how David gathered the loyal hearts of Israel again to his standard, and recrossed the Jordan and defeated the army of Absalom, it winds up, if I recollect right, in this way : 'And Absalom's mule went out from under him.' Laughter. There is a prophecy in that verse which is going to bo ful filled this fall. The result will be that the Tilden and Hendricks reform mulo went out from under them laughter with Rutherford -B. Hayes on his back. Great cheering." We all remember those days when the Knights of the Golden Circle were in their glory. We all remember the memorable convention of theKuklux .Democrats at Indianapolis. We all remember the almost miraculous es cape or rnoiana rrorn an explosion of the Democratic volcano of blood and massacre that burned beneath tho en tire State from Michigan to the Ohio river. We all remember the raid of John Morgan instigated, planned and brought about by Hendricks, Dodd, Bowles, Harsey, Milligan and Walk er. We all remember the defiant and treasonable tone of the Democraiic secessionists and Southern sympathi sers of that day. We all remember how near these Kuklux succeeded in their diabolical and treasonable de signs. In all these designs and hell ish purposes Thomas A. Hendricks was a principal actor, and a Major General in tho order that would have betrayed our State and placed it in the hands of the rebels, that would have sacrificed tho lives of every Union man, woman and child upon the gory altar of Democratic secessionism and sectional hate. Now this same Ku klux Major General Thomas A. Hen dricks is preaching reform, and begs the support of the people of the State he once sought to destroy. Tho ef frontery only equals the treasonable designs that held possession of his soul in 1863. Will the people place any confidence in such men. Indi auians, do you still love your coun try? If you do, treat this Major General as his actions deserve. Mun cic Ind.) Times. A few "tfeektf ago a pretended letter of Gov. Hayes appeared in a number of Confederate papers, but was promptly branded as a forgery, and its circulation was Btopped. It pur ported to be written by Gov. Hayes in reply to a communication from some persons styling themselves tho "American Alliance.'' The forgery read as follows : Philadelphia, July 5, 1876. To the Secretary of tho American Alli ance Sir: I have just received your letter informing me of my election as a member of your admirable Alliance. Return mv thanks to the Alliance, as I deeply sympathize with its princi ples. I remain your fellow citizen, R. B. Hayes. Notwithstanding that the silly in vention was pronounced spurious weeks ago, the Chicago Times makes it the centre of an article around which it weaves a column of false hood. At the very moment the edit or was laborionsly concocting his tis sue of baseless slush, he had before his eyes a special dispatch from his own reporter in Columbus, which in formed him that Gov. Hayes had met no committee in Philadelphia or else where from tho American Alliance on the fifth of July o? any other day, and that no such committee had called upon him at any time or place; that he had written no letter to any com mittee of the American Alliance, and that no committee of the Alliance ever called on him with copies of the oath or constitution of the order. Yet in the face of this plain and emphatic refutation of the false oharges, the "independent" editor of the Times reiterates the contemptible falsehoods and republishes. the silly forged letter. Is this wretched work, intended to ,fool the voters in Indiana until afte"r next Tuesday ? Has not the editor of that sheet sagacity enough to perceive that he is in danger of disgusting those he is striving to deceive, and produciug a reaction whioh may cost his party fifty votes for" every one he can mane by such tnoks ? Chicago Tribune. Strickland to the front again. Herald. General Strickland is always at the front. In the contest between loyalty and treason now carried on between the republican party and the sham re form secession democratic cohorts, it is natural for the old soldier to step to tho front. Gen. Sherman In his bril liant "march to the sea," put him at the front where bravo men were need ed to uphold the cause of freedom, and the General didn't have to coax Strick land. For five years Gen. Strickland was at the front chasing democratic voters, and they didn't need any coax ing either, to get out of his way. The General proposes to "keeplhia hand in" the same old game of put ting down treason, and now he march es "to the front again" to crush the party of rebellion. liepublican. 9 c The Trio.

He had been very poor at oue time in his life, and had to work very hard. His industry in the end, hoVever, met its duo reward. At middle age he was comfortably circumstanced. When ho thought of taking himself a wife, it was thought generally that the step he meditated was a prudent and prop er oue. And when he" further stated that ho made an offer of his hand to one Georgiana Warren, the daughter of a wealthy merchant, and that his offer had been accepted by the lady, we, of course hastened to tender our heartfelt congratulations on the oc cassion. Ned Stone spoke of the matter In his own simple, sober way:' 'Well, you know, I'm getting on,' he said, 'and if I'm ever to marry it is about time I should think of set ting about it. You've been very kind. I think I shall be very happy in fact, I've no doubt about it as happy as a fellow has a right to ex pect to be. One has not a right to ex pect too much, of course. But I'm quite fond, in my way, of this Georg iana Warren, and I think that she, in her way, is fond of me ; she is not too old ; not too g'ood looking, nor yet too plain ; she issensibleand accomplish ed enough ; and I don't see why she should uot make s good sort of a wife, and similarly I dou't see why I shold not make a good sort of a husband. Perhap3 I'm not very fond of old Warren, the father, aud perhaps he isn't of me. But I don't know as that matters very much. I dare' say we shall understand each other better by-aud-by; meantime I must try and make the best of theold man's humor, and not run counter of him more than I can avoid. And it seems to me that the old fellow would be no fonder of anybody else who might want to mar ry his daughter than he fa of me. You see, it's our affair Georgiana's and mine and not his ; though it is hard to make him see it in that light. But I daresay it will come rischt in the end. That's what I tell Georgiana, when she takes up with rather gloomy views about her father's tem per. She has good sense, andI think, looks at the matter very much as I do only, of course, sho can't help feel ing that he is her father, wheras, thank goodness, heain't mine. It will be seen that Ned Stone was not lover to "sigh like a furnace." As for writing a woeful ballad to his mistress' eyebrows, I don't think he could haveccomplished such a feat even if his life depended on doing so. The thermometer of his love stood at temperate, with no tendency toward en upright rise. The 'marks of love,' as they were generally understood, were not discernible upon him. Ho never said a word as to the agi tated state of hfs breast, nor to the .excitement of his feelings. He did not regard Miss Wanen, an angel or a goddess. Probably he would have been the first to contradict and allegation that might have been made to the effect that she was anything of the kind. Miss Warren appeared to him what sho seemed to everybody else a nice, sensible Englis'h girl. I called upon Stone one evening. He was alone. He looked a little grave, and held a small, sealed packet. We discussed various different subjects ; then I in quired concerning MIs3 Georgiana. 'Ob, haven't 3'ou heard?' he answer ed. 'But of course you couldn't have heard. The affair i? off. Ourengage ment has come to an end.' 'You don't mean that?' I asked In surprise. 'Yes, the thing's broken off, as the people say.' It's a bad job, I'm sorry for It, but It cau't be helped.' Had the lady resented his serenity, and discharged him? I asked my self. As though he had heard the ques tion, he went on : 'It'.s the old man's doings. I hope he's satisfied now. He's the most nnreasonable and dis agreeable fellow I ever had the mis fortune to meet.' But what did he do?' 'Well, we fell out about the settle ment; that was where the hitch arose. Vm sure I did all I could to please him. I gave up condition af ter condition, quite in opposition to my solicitor. I told him to settle what money he proposed to settle on his daughter it wasn't much, after all just as he pleased ; I didn't want to touch a penny of it. Ho might settle it, I told him, just as ever he pleased, or settle nothing at all upon her if he liked that better. It wa3 his slaugh ter that I wanted, and not his money. And for my part I'd take care my wifa never came to want. I under took to insure my lifo for a large amount, and assign tho policy to trus tees for her benefit, in case of my death ; covenanting of course to pay up the insurance in the regular way. I thought that a fair argument, but it did not content him.' 'He wanted to tie my hands com pletely. He hadn't a ha'p'oth of con fidence in me. He gave me credit fos nor sort of affection foi hir daughter. Ho Insisted that any money that I in the future might be come possessed of, I should covenant into the settlement. It was absurd. Of course, couldn't consent to it. I hnii'niy buslnes'tof consider. Ofcauue my wife and children if I have any, will reap the benefits as much aslshall. However, he wouldn't listen to me. I told Georgiana exactly how the mat ter stood. She's of age'. I asked her whether she'd marry me without the old man's consent. Poor girl, she was in an awful way. But sho did not caro to do that. Sho shrank from offending he father, so there's no help for it the thing's broken off, and I'm not to be married, it seems this time, at any rate.' He spoke rather sorrowfully, still without the slightest trace of temper. I endeavored to console him in a com mon place sort of a way. He opened tho small package ho had been holding in his hand. 'This is pleasant,' he said quietly ; 'here are all my letters to Georgiana. Ah, and here is a little present I gave her sent back to me.' There were not many letters'". Their contents, I guess, little enough like conversational love letters, probably unec3tatio compositions, yet simple and to the purpose, and uneostatio enough. The present was a ring a large diamond, heavily set in pure gold, just the valuable," simple, sub stantial present which I could have fancied Ned Stono selected for his bo trothed. 'I suppose they'll expect me' to send back Georgiana's letters to her.' 'Undoutedly.' 'It is the usual way when engage ments come to an end.' 'Certanly, it is the usual way.' He rubbed his chin, and seemed to rellect a little. 'Have a cigar,' hesaid, presently, 'and let us talk about something else. This is not the most agreeable subject is the world. Tell me what you have been doing TVith yourself lately.' So we fell into talking about this, that and the other. Presently, when I went away, he said quietly: 'I think I shall see Georgiana once more for a particular reason.' I did not ask what that particular reason was, and he did not tell me. A few nights afterward, I saw him again. He was at no time subject to much change or mood, or at any rate seldom betraj'ed any variation of that kind. But it struck me that if any thing he was in better spirits than usual. 'You did not mention,' he said, what I told you the other night that my engagement waa' broken off?' I explained that I had not mention ed it, for a particular reason. I had not seen any pe.rejon whom it would interest to be informed of the fact. 'It's just as well he said, 'because It isn't broken off, or rather it's on again.' 'Indeed ! I'm very glad to hear of it.' I told yoa I should try and see Georgiana again. Well, I knew that she often, with her father and other relations and friends, went to the Zoo logical Gardens on Sunday. So I went to the Zoological. Isoon discov ered her with Warren and a lot of peo ple. Sho saw me, and understood by .my sign that I wanted to speak on VOL. 21 -NO. 17. the quiet. Well, she lingered on be hind a little, and when the rest of the party went to see the kangaroos, she slipped back with me in to the enake house. She looked a little frightened and the tears stood in her eyes. 'So I put my arms around her It didn't matter to me who saw, you know and told her there was noth ing to be alarmed at, ana that I only wanted to speak a word or two. I told her that I had not sent back her letters, as I ought to, but the plain fact of the matter was, I couldn't do it.' You love me still Ned ?' she said. 'Of course I do Georgy,' I said; who has been telling you I don't?' She began crying terribly. Como Georgy,' I said, 'let us get marriedwhether papa likes It or not; only you say tho word.' She didn't say a word. Poor child! She could not speak for crying ; and she looked at me and gave me such a little nod, and she began laughing through her tears. It wns" the pretti est sight I ever saw. Of course I kiss ed her, then I turned, and who should be standing close at my side but old Warren. Georgy gave a little scream and then tried to make believe that we were looking at tho boa constictor. But of courso that didn't work, so I said to old Warren, in a cheery sort of way, aud putting out my hand, said cheerfully : 'Mr. Warren, Georgia and I are go ing to be married; that's quite set tled. But you and I may as well bo friends all the same. We'd much rather have your consent than not. Suppose you give it to us.' He was so astonished that, before, I think, he knew quite what be was do ing, he'd taken my hand, with all his friends standing around and looking on. Of course he could not go back, after that. And and so tho thing was settled.' t I congratulated hfm heartily. Pres ently I said, by chance : "How lucky it was that you didn't send back. Miss Warren's letters." "My dear fellow, that was what I wanted to explain to her; I couldn't send them back.' 'You found them too dear to you?' At last, then, ho had been betrayed into a feeling of romance. 'Not at all,' he exclaimed. 'I could not send them back because I hadn't kept them ; I destroyed them.' 'Destroyed them?' ! Yes. What was the good of them ? I only keep business letters ; they are regularly docketed at my office. But for Georgy's letters, they were no use it waa no good keeping them I made them into pipo lights.' You didn't tell her that?' 'No I hadn't time. I never ar rived at my explanation about the letters.' 'Of courso now you will never tell her.' Why shouldn't I?' Don't you see? She thought you didn't send them back, for a senti mental reason because you couldn't part with them; and so, In point of fact, that misunderstanding of hers led to tho re-establishment of your love affair.' Do you think so!' he asked, mus ingly. 'But if Georgy ha3 made any mistake about the matter, I think that I am bound to set her right.' 'My dear Stone, take my advice, for fear of accident; set her right after the wedding ceremony, not before.' Whether or not he took my advice, I'm not aware. He was married in due course to Miss Warren ; and I know that the lady was often heard to declare subsequently that sho married the beat husband in the world. A Fashionable Woman's Prayer. Strengthen my husband, and may his faith and his money hold cut to the last. Draw the lamb's wool of unsuspic ious twilight CVer hfs eyes, that my flirtations may look to him like victo ries, aud that may strengthen his pride in rae. Bless, O! Fortune! my crimps, rats aud frizzles, and let thy glory Bhine on my paint and powder. Enable the poor to shift for them selves, and save me from aH mission ary beggars. Shed they light on my camel's hair shawl, my lavender silk, my point lace and my necklace of diamonds, and keep the moths' out of my sable, I beseech thee, O, Fortune! When I walk out before the gaze of vulgar men, regulate my wiggle, and add new grace to my gait. When I bow myself to worship, grant that I may do It with ravish ing elegance, and preserve unto me the lily-white of my flesh and the ta per of my fingers. Destroy mine enemies with the gall of jealousy, and eat up with the teeth of envy all those who gaze at my a'tyle. Save me from wrfnkles'and foster my plumpness. Fill both my eyes, O, Fortune! with the plaintive poison of Infatuation, that I may fay out my victims the men as numb as images graven. Let the lily nnd the ro3e strive to gether in my cheek, and may my neck swim like a goose on the bosom of crystal water. Enable trie, O, Fortonef to wear ahoe3 still a little smaller, and save me from all corns or bunions. Bless Fanny, ray Iapdog, and rain down hailstones of destruction' on those who shall hurt a hair of Hector, mv kitten. I ADVERTISING RATES One Inch, one year , , . , ,..

Exchange. It requires great audaolty for the Confederate Democracy to say to us, "You did not suppress our rebellion as cheap as you ought to have done. You did not manage the public debt, taxation, and other matters growing outof our treason as well as you ought to have done ; therefore we propose to take the settlement of the consequenc es of our crimes and blunders into our own hands." It is possible the rebellion could have been put down at less cost. The rebels say it could, and that we ought to have whipped them at one-half the expense ; and they are profoundly In dignant at our want of economy and skill In preforming the operation. It Is an old saying that the hair of tho dog is good for the bite, and we are now asked to turn off the loyal physicians and call in tho rebel doctors to prescribe for tho wounds inflicted by tho rebellion ; and to be lieve that treason, slavery, repudia tion violence, and ignorance are the very best schools for reform. Morton. Turkish rice pudding is thus nicde: Pick and wash half a pound of rice; prepare also half a pound of Zante'cur- rants, which must be carefully ploked clean, washed through two waters, drained well, and spread out to dry on! a flat dish before the fire ; put the rice Into a saucepan with a quart of rich milk, then add four ounces of broken up loaf sugar, on which you have rob bed off the yellow rind of a large" lemon and squeeze tho juice; stir in two ounces of fresh butter divided In to small pieces ; when the rico is well swollen and quite soft tako it from the fire and mix with it eight well beaten yolka of eggs; transnr it to a deep dish and put It in the oven for half an hour. Serve up warm. A nice sauce for this pudding is thd whites of the eggs used In it, beaten to a froth, with powdered BUgar and flavored with lemon.

Bul garia when the following is only one of the many similar things found In their Koran : "Fight for the religion of God against thosa who fight agalnsft you. Kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out of that whereof they have dispossessed you; for temptation to Idolatry Is more grievous than slaughter. War Is en joined you against the Infidels, but this is hateful unto you; yet per chance yo hatoa thing which la better for you, and perchance ye love a thidg which Is'worse for you but God know eth, and ye know not." What it Costs to be a Loafer. Does the young man who persists in being a loafer ever reflect how much less It would cost to be a decent, re spectable man? Anybody can be a gentleman if he chooses to be, but it is expensive to be e loafer. It C03ta time days, months, years of it. It costs friends. Your consorta will he only buccaneers of society. It costs health, vigor, comfort all true com mit of living, honor, dignity, self-respect of the world when living, and finally all regret and consideration when dead.
