GLORY WON BY ACCIDENT. How a Southern Private Came to Lead a Charge. Niw York Sun. I carried a gun in Bowles's Battalion. We were mounted Infantry and a part of Gee. John Morgan's command from Kentucky. The Yankees called us Mor? gan's Horse Thieves, while the inhabi? tants of the mountain districts of F*st Tennessee would ask, when they met a squad of us in a bridle patb, "Does yo uns belong to Mister Morgan's critter back company ?" In the spring of '64 Morgan's command had just come up from South Carolina, and had gone into camp at Abingdon, Virginia, when Tvord came that Gen. Crook, the present Indian fighting hero, with Gen.' Averill, was moving with a heavy force on Wytheville. We took up oar line of march for that town, and right well do I remember the happy faces of the old men, the women, and chidren who lined the curbstones of the principal street as we rode our horses by fours in a triumphal entry style before the admiring gaze of these non-combat? ants.- There were no able-bodied men in Southern towns in those days. On the opposite side of the town, in a beau tiful woodland pasture, we went into camp. Most of our horses were turned loose to graze while the men were busy building dog-houses to sleep in, or hunt? ing wood and water. A sudden change came over the camp. The clear notes of ' a bugle rang out the familiar, but now ominous order, "Saddle up your horses." Nearly 300 men were instantly on their feet, the officers shouting "saddle up I saddle up !" and the men calling to one another. "Bill, have you seen my mare?" "Bring that bridle back here." "Where is my blanket?" and all the other hubbub of a hurried departure. But here and there could be seen the cool old soldier deliberately folding the blanket that an? swered for both saddle and sleeping pur? poses, smoothing out every wrinkle so as not to hart the horse's back, placing it with great precision high up on the with? ers, setting the old "Texas tree" carefully over it, and drawing a deft knot in the belly band such as only an old hand can make. He mounts with ease and grace born of four years' daily practice in the saddle, and gets into liue long before his fussy messmate. We were all soon in line, and the or? ders followed in quick succession, "By twos right into line," "March," "Trot," "Gallop," and away we went at double ?uick to Crockett's Cove, four miles away, t was a hot ride, and just before reach? ing the Cove we turned abruptly to the left through a pair of bars. Gen. Mor? gan stood in the road and shouted, ''Close up, men," as we galloped by him. It was evident we were making a flank movement on the enemy, and now could be heard those first sad sounds to the practical soldier's ear?occasional shots from the distant skirmishers. To my taste there is nothing so gloriously exhii erating as the hurly-burly of a brisk fight ?the rapid orders, the rattle of small arms, the boom of the big guns, the wild shout and rush of the charge. All sense of fear is lost, and nothing is thought of bat winning a glorious victory. But these first picket shots make yon realize that there is death in the air, and you think of home and perhaps of religion if you've got any. Fortunately for us there wa? not much time for indulging in these gloomy thoughts. We were soon in "lineot fight," as we always called it, and Col. Bowles rode out in front of us and at the top of his voice shouted, "Now, boys, if you want to give them the bellyache, shoot at their knees." We dismounted and rap? idly moved forward taking shelter behind a rail fence. The firing was rapid, but the distance, some five hundred yards, too great to do much execution. Some one soon raised our old yell, "Look out for Morgan's men," everybody went over the fence, and to my surprise, the ene? my's line began to fall back. It now be - came a running fight and kept so until about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when oar line brought ap against a stake-and rider fence. The enemy was equally well posted on the brow of the opposite hill. The ground, dipped between the two lines of battle, aud a creek lined with alder bushes, ran through the little valley about equi-distant between us. The ene? my had made a "field hospital" near and on oar side of the creek, and as we lay behind the fence we could see a number of dead horses and some men with clean white haversacks on them. These haversacks were small hags, and I became very much interested in them. We had not had a mouthful of coffee for more than four months, and, turning to the soldier by my side, I remarked: "Thompson, do you see those haversacks down there ?" A smile crept' over his face a3 he replied that he did. "I'll bet you they are filled with cof? fee," said L "You hear all these bulleti going over our heads ? Now, if we skirt along that fence that crosses the creek, we can slip out and lie down behind those horses, be safe, and get some coffee." "All right," he said, "if you'll start, I'll follow." No quicker said than done. Over the fence I went and Thompson after me. Just before we reached the creek, out from behind the dense alders marched obliquely a regiment of the enemy. When halfway up the hill and just be? fore we reached the horses they gave us a volley. I sat down with about six inches of bone shot out of my leg. Thompson's right arm was taken off the next day. "Buck" Smith was hit in the head and heel and was spinning around in a death straggle while I was rapidly crawling in? to a fence corner. Several others were hart at the same time, but I never had an opportunity to inquire who they were, and for the time being I was thunder? struck to know how they got there. That night four soldiers stumbled over me on the rough ground. They took me in a blanket to Farmer Crockett's house which was literally filled with wounded men. On the next morning Gen. Morgan made a hasty visit to this field hospital. I was well acquainted with him, and when he came to the bench that I lay od he took me warmly by the hand. "Hardin," said he, "that was a mag? nificent charge you led yesterday." I looked at him in blank amazement, but I was too good a soldier to deny the statement of a superior officer. In think? ing over the matter I remembered there was a rush of men past me just after I was shot, and on inquiry I learned that when Thompson and I went over the fence the rest of the command followed like a flock of sheep, and did not stop until darkness made an end to the fight. I was afterwards told by a staff officer that the General had remarked that he intended making me a lieutenant ou my return to the command ; but, alas ! the war was over before I got off my crutches, and the General and many of my old messmates sleep in soldier graves, while, among the myriad surviving generals, colonels, majors, captains and lieutenants of the Confederacy, I feel lonely, as about the only soldier on that side who bore a gun. ? At Tallulah, Ga., April 22, Henry Ellard, one of the wealthiest farmers of Habersham, was on his death bed a few days since. His wife died a few months ago, and his daughter, a young woman of 17, was attending a female college in South Georgia. She was called by tele? graph to the side of her dying father, and on entering the death chamber, she saw that her father was in the last agony. Rnsbing toward him, she simply uttered the word "Father!" and, rcclin? around, fell fo the floor dead. Both were buried in the same grave. For What ? The individual who will take the trouble can easily discover that a large amouut of what passes current for relig? ion is nothing but tb.3 most detestable selfishness. Let the question, "For what did you join the Church?" be put to those who claim to be Christians, and the answer, which each one of a large num? ber of them will return, will be in lan? guage something like the following: "I want to go to heaven." This is true. He expected to make a good thing for himself out of his church relationship. The only being in the universe of whom be thought was his own precious self. The idea of serving God faithfully, nev? er, at least, fully enters the minds of most of those who profess to be bis ser? vants. Said a drunken member of the church to one who admonished bim, "I did not join the church to quit drinking. I joined the church to get to heaven." This is the sentiment of a trifling hire? ling and not of a faithful servant. All he thinks of is reward?pay for what be engaged to do, but never intended to do. The chief end of man is to glorify God. For this purpose, and for nothing else was man brought into existence. For this end is he, by God, prererved in existence. The glorifying of God and the good of his creatures, by whom this glory is de? clared, are inseparably connected. All who serve God in the way in which he, in his word, has prescribed, will just as certainly reach heaven as tbe waters of rivers will run into the ocean. It is foolish to suppose that the simple act of joining the church will save us. We must serve God, and joining the church is one way, and an important way, too, of serving Him. Every laborer, however, who enters the employment of another is uot a faithful servaut. Many of tbem are trifling hirelings, who have no other object in view except to drag along through a period of time, and then re? ceive a reward foi what they promised to do, but did not perform. The earthly hireling who serves earthly masters, may deceive, cheat and swindle their employ? ers, but those who undertake to cheat God make a sad mistake, which they will at some period discover.?Rev. Robert lathan, in the Yorkville Enquirer. Opium In Tobacco. Tbe Elmira Advertiser publishes the following interview with a chemist of that city: "It is stated that you have found the highest-toned grades of tobacco to be badly adulterated with opium," said the writer interrogatively to the doc? tor. "Yes, sir," replied the scientist, 'Vtbat is in a measure true. Not long ago I collected, by purchase of reputable dealers, a dozen packages of tbe most prominent and high-priced cigarettes to be had. These I forwarded to a Pitts burg chemist to be analyzed with special reference to the opium which public opinion bad only half led me to believe might be found in them. With them I sent some, cheaper grades of cigarettes. Tbe result of tbe analysis was to me an astounding one. The chemist found that in all the standard brands of cigarettes there was a considerable quantity of opi? um ! Now, the effects of opium smoking, eating or absorbtion in any form are gen? erally known to be very dangerous, and, if carried to the extreme, deadly. Hence I need not dwell upon tbe significance of the discovery. So much for the best ciga? rettes. The poorer ones also were tested with reference to opium, but were fouud to be devoid of anything so expensive. In tbem were found quantities of various vile drugs mixed with refuse tobacco of the most unwholesome sort. Take these facts, in addition to the well recognized narcotic effects of the purest tobacco, and they indicate such dangerous practices and habits as ought to be corrected with? out delay." A Hnppy Couple. A married and experienced friend tells us that a man should a 1 trays be a little bigger than his wife, and a little older, a little biaver, and a little stronger, and a little more in love with her than she is with him. A woman should always be a little younger, and a little prettier, and a little more considerate than her husband. He should bestow upon her all his wordly goods, and she should take care of them. He may owe her every care and tender? ness that affection may prompt; but pe? cuniary indebtedness to her will become a burden. Better live on a crust that he earns than on a fortune that she has brought him. Neither must be jealous, or give the other .cause for jealousy. Neither must (encourage sentimental friendship with the opposite sex. Perfect confidence in each other, and leticence concerning their mutual affairs, even to members of their own families, is a first necessity. A wife should 4ress herself becoming? ly whenever sh* expects to meet her husband's eye. The man should not grow slovenly evtn at home. Fault-finding, long arguments, or scoldings, end the happiness that begins in kisses and love-making. Sisters and brothers may quarrel aud "make it up." Lovers are lovers no longer after such disturbances occur, and married people who are not lovers are bound by red hot chains. If a mau admires his wife most in striped calico, she is silly not to wear it.?The Eye. ? "Aunt Jane," said an exasperated wife, "I wish it was a custom lor women to trade husbands as it is for men to trade horses." "Why, my dear ?" "Because, if it was, I'd cheat some woman dread? fully before suudown." ? "Come under my umbrella and save a ducking," said au impudent fellow to a pretty Miss in the street on a rainy day. "There's one calf f head under it already, and that's as many as it will convenient? ly cover," replied the damsel. ? A country girl, coming from the field, being told by her poetic cousin that she looked as fresu as a daisy kUsed with dew, said : "Well, it wasu't any fellow of that name, but it was Steve Jones that kissed me. I told him that every one in town would find it out." ? "Amelia for thee?yes, at thy com? mand, id pluck the stars from tue firm? ament?I'd pluck the suu, that oricutal god of day that traverses the blue arch of heaven io sucn majestic splendor?I'd tear him from the sky and?" "Don't, Henry ! It would be so very dark 1" ? A clergyman, who was consoling a young widow ou tbe death of her hus? band, spoke in a very serious tone, re? marking that he was "oue of the few. buch a jewel of a Christian?you cannot find his equal, you well know." To which the sobbing fair one replied, with an almost broken heart: "I'll bet I will!" ? A lady, wishing the services of a dyer, was referred to an excellent work? man, who was something of a wag in his line. Tbe lady called, aud asked : "Are you the dyeing man?" "Mo, ma'am; I'm a living man?but I'll dye for you 1" promptly replied the mau of many colors, putting the emphasis where it was-, needed. ? A Monroe, Ga., dispatch to the Constitution says: At 11 o'clock this morning Jessee Gunn shot and killed his father, Willis Gunn. The lather was a widower, and he and his son court? ed the same young woman. The son married her two weeks ago, and tbe father 6eut him word to be on his guard, as he was coining to kill him. This morning a child saw the father enter the lion's house and told the son. who lirnd on his father a< the latter was Inking aim at his sou. He TYonldWt Stand any More Kissing of Maria, A good many male friend? of Dill Chinks attended bis wedding which took place in a room of the bride's parents' residence in the country a few evenings ago. After the minister had finishel the ceremony, Bill, without moving from his position * said: . "Now, Mr. Preacher, what is your charge fur splicin' us?" "Oh, well just what you feel like giv? ing." . "Wall, I feel like givin' a good deal, for it war a good job. But here's a quarter, which is all I've got." "Very well, sir, I can't take more than is given me." And then Bill, taking hold of his bride's right hand with his left turned to the crowd aud said: "Now gentlemen, I don't know but what all of you fellers may hev had a whack at kissin' Mnriar afore she wus married, but now this 'ere gal's my property. I've paid fur her and she's mine; and the first .fellow I ketch or hear of kissin' her again, I'll whale, them's my terms. Now let the fiddler tune up his vierlin."?Kentucky Stale Journal. ?

BONNER, A WELL-KNOWN CITIZEN OP MACOJJ, GA. In August, IR8I, nearly three yars ago, my son, wlm was at that time living at Clinton, ?Ja., canie over to scenic with the sad intelligence that his wile was in the last stages of consumption and that her physician had pronounced her case hone lesn. I went immediately over, ami I felt ihat nothing con hi be done. She was coughing and spitting incessantly, and at times would discharge from her lungs a large quantity of pus or matter ?could not sleep or retain anything on her stom ach, and was, in fact, in the last stages of the dis? ease. This was about the time you began to ad? vertise Itrevcr's Lung Restorer, and as my son expressed a desire to give it to his wife, two or three bottles were procured and with scarcely a vestige of hope we commenced giving it to her in small doses, gradually increasing the quantity un? til the prescribed doso was reached. She began to improve after a few doses and continued to do so daily, until she was finally restored to life and health, and is to-day perhaps in better health than ever before. .She is subject to colds, hut a few swallows of Brewer's Lung Restore! (which she is never without) relieves her immediately. I con? sider her restoration to perfect health'a miracle, for which she is indebted to Urewcr's Lung Re? storer. My son is almost a monomaniac on the subject of Brewer's Lung Restorer and never lets an opportunity pass where he thinks such a medi? cine would he required; that he does not speak of it in most glowing terms. Not long sircc a North? ern gentleman on his way to Florida heard ol this cure and was induced by my son to give it to his invalid wife, and she was cured as if by magic." Urewcr's Lung Restorer contains no opiates. LAM AR, RANK IN A LA MAR. MacoUj Atlanta and Albany, (.la. Brewer's Lung Restorer for sale by Wil kite it Williite, Anderson, S. 0.

Your most valuable medicine (Swift's Specific) lias done me so much pood that I feel like saying this for the benefit of those who sutler like I did. I was poisoned by poison oak, and saw not a well day for six years, until I used Swift's Specific. In the six j'ears I used almost every kind of medi? cine, but none had the desired effect. After using six bottles of Swift's Specific I am restored to perfect health?with not a .sign of that auf id poison left! Yours truly, DAVID NESBITT. POISON OAK I lud for thirty-eight years suffered every spring and summer with Poison Oak, which I contracted in bathing wlien a boy. I tried everything for it, including many physicians* but without any benefit. I took six bottles of Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) four years ago, and it cured me sound and well. Three summers have passed, and I have bad no return of it. JosErH Beasley, Columbus, Ga. Remarkable Results. I have had remarkable success with Swift's Specific ; have cured several cases permanently in a very short time. One case which I am now treating was given up to die, and after using three bottles is so far recovered that I think one more bottle will cure her. The most remarkable case of all was a lady with medulary cancer of the womb, for whom I had no hope whatever. After using ono bottle I am satisfied she will soon be cured. J. WYLIE QTJILLIAN, IM.
