IL was impossible for him to go up the road to Coosawhatchie, as the Federals would roach that point Scforo he could. Ile know that the ncmy was advancing up behind him :rom (Grahamville.

The troops above us at Coosaw ?atchic aud I'ouataligo had fallon back 'md wc were in a close place. Things ookod rather squally about this time. Thc battery consisted of six guns aud seventy-five horses and, of course, wc lid not want to leave them, but we j lardly knew what to do. . 'Finally Tom Ellis, and doe Walls, i-ioth mouthers of thc battery, and whose ionios were in that section, suggested that by some hard work and good driving we could {.'et both our battery and horses out, by cutting timber and bridging over floodgates across the .icc field. Tho suggestion met with ?apt.

"Our trio ol' 'skirmishers' fired, wheeled and retreated.

He at once wheeled his mule and rode at full speed back inward the battery. ''The four prisoners, including my self, were carried buck to Pocataligo, and thence across Port lloyal Uiver on a pontoon bridge to Beaufort Island, and from there to Hilton Head, and from Hilton Head to Point Lookout, Maryland, j "After arriving at that fainoiiE prisou I did uothiug except to try tc concoct a scheme by which I might make wy escape. I observed every thing connected with the management of thc prisoners very closely. "One evening about sundown, aftei i had been thereabout six weeks, thej wAe taking out some prisoners to ex change. Thc ground was covered witl .snow and it was as cold as blue blazes ? The guards iusido thc prison, bctwcoi thc prison walls and thc gate, wen I negroes, and they wero carelessly facing each other and engaged iu ai apparently absorbing conversation All at once the idea flashed into in; mind that my opportunity was at ham to make my escape. I knew if 1 coull pass in the rear of thc guard and read some old barrels and boxes and ge behind them 1 was .-afc. I got on tu; hands ami knees aud unobserved b, the guards reached the desired goal The next thing was to get with th crowd of prisoners that was going out anti that was standing between mc an thc gate, without being detected b some of the officers. Thc negro guard were still talking to each other, un conscious of my movements. I rea! izod that I had them exactly where could uso them as I chose, so I wa ready for thc final break for liberty I raised up from behind thc rabbis i and started. "I had not made more than four c ? five steps before I was halted by lieutenant, who, pointing a big pisti at mc, said: 'Where arc you going?' ' Now came thc tug. I knew tb guard was in a close ??lace for allowin me to pass, and would endorse an; thing 1 said in order to protect then selves. 1 spoke ont distinctly, i i order that thev might hear, and sai I to the officer.

"Thc lieutenant exclaimed with a smile. 'I am not ??ung to detain him any longer, but 1 know that he in lyiag and the balance of you rebids are swearing to it.' "You have no idea how gond I felt. That was one time in my life when I felt thal a lie was entirely justified I lied like a dog and was proud of it.

The Holden Dai/x tells a new story of Miss Francos E. Willard, illustra ting not only her noble character, but a truly Christian principle. She was very fond of cycling, and while on one of her spins collided with a wheelman who was somewhat "under thc influence." The result was a badly shattered wheel of the drop frame variety. The wheelman was not in a conversational state., and thc matter of damairos was not discussed on tile spot: hut. he was given thc wo man's card, with the request that lu call next day.

William McKillip, at au early day a citizen of Traverse City*, but for many years a resident nf Muskegon, tells a curious coincidence that came in the list of bis experiences. Mr. McKillip is a native ol' Washington County, New York, leaving it in 184(5, and in a cemetery there with which he was familiar in carly life, there were deposited thc remains of thc wife of one Aaron Crosby. .Vs a monument to her memory there was placed over her grave a common cast iron cooking stove, on thc top of which a marble slab, with the appropriate inscription of name, etc. Thc peculiarity of thc cook stove monument naturally im pressed itself upon his mind, aside from thc fact that he was acquainted with thc man who sought in this nov el manner to perpetuate his wife's memory, but he was destined to see another monument of thc same sort. Happening to bc in Springfield, lil., in 18G2, he fouud thc Sabbath some what lonely among strangers and to kill time wandered out to the ceme tery. Io looking about he came upon the counterpart of thc cook stove me ' moria! and u^on rcadinc the insertn ! tion on the slab, found that wife num ber two of Aaron Crosby was resting beneath. No doubt both these wives I wero excellent cooks, and the appreci ative Aaron knew no more appropriate way to perpetuate this great qualifica tion. .Not Very Flattering. Last winter a delegation of Indis?-H fr-oii ii far western .State, on ix tour cf inspection through the interior de primi?.t. visited tho laud office, where they were introduced to the clerk who had especial charge of their section "f thc country, a bumptious little individual with a big head.

THE TYRANT CUPID. Say what you will, Cupid is somewhat of a tyrant after all. He waves his lash of govern ment over the head of every .woman who Selects him to rule her life. No woman can choose the happiness and honor or wifehood and motherhood without lieing subject also to its pains and penalties. Hut no woman ought to stiller as most do from those ailments and weaknesses which are tine to her peculiarly delicate and susceptible organism. Every woman ought to know that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will cure these unnatural and debilitating troubles, lt cures them absolutely, completely, permanently, lt contains no alcohol to create a craving for stimulants. " It is with heart-felt jrxatiiiidc that I must tell you what your medicine har. done for me." writes Mrs. A. P. Crenshaw, of ranasoflfkee. Sumter Co.. 1'ln.. in n tetter to Dr. Ii. V. Pierce of Buffalo. N. Y. " After consulting you about my case I took your medicine and it cured me of female weakness. I was all run down; I suffered with sick headache, pains in the back and bear ing down pains. I took two bottles of Dr. Pierce's Pavorite Prescription and was then able to take care of my house. My health is better than it has been for three years. I do not know how to thank you for thc kind advice you gave so cheerfully.''
