A Common Thought
Somewhere on this earthly pl?ttet,
In the dust of flowers to he,
In the dewdrops, in the sunshine,
Sleeps .1 solemn day for nie. .
At this wakeful hour of midnight.
1 behold it dawn in niist,
And 1 luar a sound of sobbing
Through the darkness? hut ! Oh, hist I
In a dim and murky chamber,
I am breathing life away :
Some one draws a curtain softly
And I watch the broadening day.
As it purples in the zenith,
As it brightens on the lawn.
There's a bush of death about mc
Ami a whisper, MIc is gone.'
Major f odd's L g.
Major Todd, of our place, lost his
right leg at the battle of Fredericks*
burg, and some tin.c ago he purchased
an artificial leg from a man in Wil
mington. It contained a' system of
springs, which enaolcd the major to
use it in such a natural manner, that
when he was walking along the street
nobody would for a moment suppose
that he had not both of his own legs.
On Sunday, while the major was on
his way to church, he clipped upon the
ice and gave the store leg a severe
wrench. He must have dislocated
some of the springs; for after reaching
church and taking his seat, and while
the clergyman was reading the Scrip
tures, the leg suddenly llcw up aud
rested upon the back of the peu- in
front of him. The congregation
looked at him in amazemcut, and he
grew very rod in the face. As soon as
he took it down itjumped up again
and wriggled about on the back ol
the ^kjw* finally kicking Mrs. Thomp
son's bonnet to rags. Then the major
suppressed it again, and held it down,
but it instantly began a convulsive
movement in his own pew, during
which it upset the stools, plunged
'trrmvwir-vtrrt.'ti^- the.'nysiH/dnjru'fcs "ftiriri
hats, and hammered the board be
neath the seat, until it made such a
racket that the minister had to slop.
The sexton came rushing in to find
what was the matter, ami the major,
titter explaining the difficulty in a
whisper, asked the sexton to let him
lean on him while he charged on the
front door. As soon as the major got
into the aisle that dissolute leg kicked
the sexton sixteen or seventeen times
iu a most insolent mail tier, varying
the exercise by making eccentric
swoops off at the side,during which
it kicked right off the high hats nt the
pew doors inio black silk chaos.
By the time the major reached the
vestibule the leg bad become perfectly
reckless. It ilew up before and it flow
up behind. It butted against the good
leg and darted out sideways, and de
scribed circles, ami tried to insert its
toes in the major's coat-tail pockets,
and to whack him on the nose. When
the *extou came with a hack aud put
the major in it, the leg bauged through
the window glass, and when the driver
got down to sec about it, the leg
brandished iteelfiu his face, and con
cluded the exercise by planting a
powerful bio:? in his stomach. Ihen
the major told the driver that he
would givo him ten dollars to tako
that leg off; and the driver accepted
the offer. For several minutes it
eluded all his efforts to catch it as it
danced about, but finally begot hold
of it and hung on while the major
tried to unbuckle the straps. Then iL
came off and rolled the driver in the
mud. He got up to watch it. It
writhed anil kicked, and jumped and
throbbed ami hopped; and whenever
it would make a dash to one side or
the other the crowd would scatter in
order to give it full play. Finally
Ben Wool ley set his dog on it, and a
most exciting contest ensued, the leg
two or three limes running off with
the dog; and as it seemed likely that
the dog would be whipped, Air. Wool
Icy got n crow-biir and aimed n blow
nttho leg. with tho intent to smash it.
But he missed it, nntl nearly killed
t)io dog. As Boon as the dog retired
Mr, Woolloy whacked at it again and
burst it into flinders, and then there
was pence. The major drove home
and got his ertliche?, and since then
he ha.s confined himself tothe use ofa
wooden leg which has no springs. He
tells the story himself with much ani
mation; hut thinks it a little hard
that the deacons tried to expel him
from that church for indulging in pro
fane Iwvity during service.?Max

Tho Army Overcoat.
Thero are men in this vicinity that
wear blue army overcoats. We went
down to the wood market the other
day, to buy a load ef wood. Among
all the grangers (here, our heart went
out toward one with n tattered and
soiled blue army overcoat. AVc gaz
ed at his weather-beaten face, and
thought, 'It is to such men as these
that the nation owes its life. That
strong arm may have upheld the ling
at Gettysburg, or a ball from his trns
ty rifle may have unhorsed a [rebel
commander, aud turned the tide of
hat tie in the gory Wilderness.' As
we bargained for bis load of wood and
saw his eye kindle with the old fame,
we did not hesitate to trade with this
hero. We thought it was more bless
ed to give a dollar to a soldier for a
load of scraggy wood than to dwell in
the tents of the wicked; and as he
drove up the street with the wood, we
followed him with much the feeling
of a pi ivate following a victorious
genoral. When the wood was unloa
ded, we said to him:
'Comrade, tell us in what depart
ment you served you country during
the late unholy rebellion.'
The old flame came again to his
eye, and as he stood upon the hind
end of the wagon, and with his whip
tickled the off-mules car, be said:
'Rebellion! I went to Canada beforo
the draft. I traded a bottle of whis
key for this overcoat, with a veteran
that lost both arms. G'lang, Beech -
er ! Get up Liz !'
r i-nd the hero leftus sitting on the
racrfrcd edge ofthat four-dollar "water
elm-wood, sighing. But he was out
of reach of these box toed shoes.?La

[From (lie New York Tribune.]
Kef Dim in South Carol inn.
The movement begun by Gov.
Chamberlain of South Carolina in the
name of Reform continues to excite
comment, with great division of opin
ion as to its scope, purpose, and pro
bable issue. In the Columbia letter,
given on another page, a staff corres
pondent of the Tribune concludes his
history of this movement, and reviews
the present phases of political senti
ment iii South Carolina. Gov. Cham
berlain would seem to have fought a
good fight against the corruptionists,
winning in almost every battle, al
though the enemy was bold, confident
and unscrupulous. Thus far his ad
ministration has been marked by a
series of surprises, which have been
agreeable to none more than to those
who opposed hi3 election on the ground
of his reputed questionable relations
with the robber gang who reduced the
State to ? bankruptcy and made its
name a byword in the politics of the
country. It is a good sign that the
leaders of this gang are now his bitter
enemies. IIo hns only to persevere,
and with the hearty co-operation of
the Conservatives and honest Repub
licans, South Carolina may be redcem
?cd.
As they entered a dry goods store
yesterday you would have said that

you, dear,"she smiled. "Well, I will
wait." They had hardly passed out
of the (h or beforo he said : "I'd liko
to see myself getting that dress ?" And
sho answered : "You couldn't buy
ona gjdo of it, and if you could you
arc too stingy and mean to do it!"?

An Extraordinary Case Of Somnambulism.
A curious and very amusing inci
dent recently occurred at the residence
of our friend, M. J. Townley, ISsq. i*
is generally known that Meli takes
special pride in tlfe nine pigs of which
he is the owner, and for whose ac
commodation he has erected comfor
table fpiarters a hundred yards or so
in the irenr of his dwelling-house. A
few nights ngo the family was aroused
by a terrible commotion among the
pigs and of course Meli rushed im
petuously to the rescue of his pets,
hardly expecting, however, the denoue
ment that was so near at hand. It
appears^ that a young lady member of*|
the family is a somnambulist, ami lip
on the night in question dreamed that
a pitiless storm was beating down up
on the pigs, and sharing the solicitude
of her uncle Meli, she crnsidorcd it
her duty to go promptly to their re
lief. Though sound asleep, she arose
from the bed, went out to the pig
quarters, and "faking n pig in her arms
was rapidly making her way with it
tothe house. Meli could scarcely be
lieve tho evidence of his own eye*,
when he was confronted with the spec
tacle of a lady clad in peerless white,
with a pig tightly clasped in her
arms, and the pig squealing as loudly
and vociferously as its lungs would
permit'. The situation, however, quick
ly flashed across his mind, ami ho
breathlessly exclaimed, "Why, ]>.,
what are you doing with that pig ?"
To which the young lady replied:
?'Grandma told me t:> bring it in out
of the rain;" and on she went towards
the hotsc with the pig. With consider
able difficulty tin young lady was
awakened, and after a hearty laugh
all around at her expense, over..!he
ludicrotosness of the occurrence,;all
went Hack tn bed and slept without
