The Manning Guards gave us last Satur day afternoon a novel entertainment in the shape of a sham battle. The event was a-i-ertised beforehand and as a conse quence a large crowd composed of ladies and children turned out to see the boys play war. After a short wait Captain Davis with his company appeared on the square and after a few field movements the com pany was divided into two platoons. Lieu. tenant A. C. Davis commanded one and Captain W. C. Davis the other. The two companies were then marched to face each other on the opposite sides of the square and the ball was started. The firing was kept up for a considerable length of time; they fired by file, then as a conmpany front, lying down, kneeling, and in fact, in every way to show how terrible war is and how terrific the damage can be dcne. Daring the battle the audience enjoyed the excite ment and when it was over Captain Davis drew the boys up in front of the court hons., put them through the manuel and then invited the crowd to the depot to witness a target shooting. At the depot a test of marksmanship was had, and Lien. A. C. Davis came out winner. NOTICE CONFEDRATE PEN SIONERS.

I:LIaioN iN TPE HOME Tlere are no WOrS so familiar to us :(l a"11ow h-r" and "home:" They are the hirst wor:s :iltnost that inint lips le~ir:: t) ak. The first face p:ssi;b t'it yo:: vu or I eve r saw was the face of inother. We very often i:ear the expression "I believe I will go husie," hence we are warranted in asking this question. wrT Is HOME? How sad, that thou:isands know not t:e mieaning of that word "home." One has beautifully s:tid! that "home is the magic circle within which the weary spirit finds refuge. It is the sacred asvlum to which the care worn heart retreats to find rest from the trials of life." If we ask the aged who has wan dered far from home and friends, and kindred, whose form is treem ling, who leans upon his staff, while his hair is white with the frost of Tears that flows ove r his stooped shoulders. Ask him what is home? and that word will awaken all the tender memories that fill his soul. And he will tell you that "'homie is a green spot ini my ] memory." t If we ask the child what is home, he or she will tell you, (could he speak the language, that his own heart feels), that "it is a place where I pour out all my joys and sorrows, and where when tired of play, and sick and faint I can pillow my head upon the bosom of mother and feel safe. There I have father's love, mother's smile, sister's kiss, and < brother's welcome; having this, makes home for me." So to us all home is 1. A PLACE OF REFUGE. We are tossed to and fro over the < ocean of life, dashed here and there by the waves of a thousand problems, often too hard for us to solve. How glad are we when the Tay is past and we can free our minds of the cares of life, and find a sweet refuge around our own fireside. There we are safe. Is this not a blessing that we too of ten fail to thank God for? How many of us ever stop and thank God for a home. Oh! what a blessing it c is, when weary with care and bur dened with sorrow, to have a home to which we can go, and there, in the midst of friends we love and cherish, t forget our troubles, cares, and disap pointments, and around one's own fireside dwell in peace. Hence, it be comes a place of refuge to us all. 2. HOME Is A PLACE OF REST. It must have been the thonght of rest at home in the mind of the prophet when he said, "Come, let -s go home." After we have spent a day of anxious toil, in our stores, facing the storms of opposition, or on 1 our farms striving with all the du- t ties that are incumbent unon us, in 1: our daily avocations, tired, busy, de pressed in spirit, how sweet is the rest at home! One of the apostles seemed to know something of the cares and anxiety to which the human heart was prone, and he exhorted us to "take no thought of to-morrow." But "come unto me all ye that are weary and- heavy laden and I will give you rest." The sweetest rest this side of heaven is the rest at hon e, where all of our joys and affections centre. 3. HOME IS A PLACE OF LOVING WL COME.] However stormy and adverse the battle of life may seem; if men who profess to be friends turn their backs upon us; if they hurl the sharp ar rows of criticism into our hearts; if there is no place where we can find welcome and a repose out in the world of toil; we are sure that there is one place where a loving welcome always waits--at home. Men have grown so wicked and so filled with shame and disgrace that they are banished from society and are looked upon as being "hopeless." No one welcomes their approach be':-.use of their shame and wickedness, but that boy never lived who was so lost to re spectability that mother could not see something good in him and give him a tender welcome at home. The prodigal son had gone down into the depths of shame, lost his character and his money and his friends, but when he turned his wandering foot steps homeward, there he .found a loving welcome and tender embraces. Also, home is a 4. 'rE oF Ii1vEN. To a Christian the thought of hea ven is a thought of home, and hence, there is no place like home." At our best we are only strangers and ~pilgrims' beres.. "Here :we have no continuing city, b~ut wve seek one to come." Heaven is to be our home. Death so often knocks at our door here and make us sad. But in that mansion, made* without hands, eter nal in the heavens, there is no death nor grave. anae In conversation with aagdman on the streets of.ft little town he said to me, "Pm. gbine home." That morjning wile walking down tbe road. whieh led Whtis home, the mues sage cam e'.for him 1to ~go home," from whenee no filaveler-ever returns. Jesus said as he..left .this earth "Ij go to prepare a place~dr~you." Let' us so live that we can enter that man sion. A soNG OF HOME. Some years ago about twenty thousand peop'lle gathered in the old Castle Garden, New York, to hear Jennie Lind sing, as no other song stress ever had sung, the sublime compositions of Beethoven, Handel, &c. At length the matchless singer thought of her home, paused a mo ment, and with deep emotions began to sing "Home, sweet home." The audience in an instant arose' and caused such an up roar of applause that it stopped the music. Tears fell from many an eye. "Home" wais the word that bound as,with a magic spell, twenty thousand souls. Was it not the thought of home and its ties that threw the soul of music into the song of the old Scotchman ? "I am far frae my hame, an' I'm weary often whiles, Help Is needed by poor, tired mothers, debilitated and run down because of poor, thin blood.
