The Conquered Banner.
Kurl tbat Banner, for 'tis weary;
Hound its 3t8ll 'tis drooping dreury';
Furl it, fold it. it is bot;
For thoreV not a mao to wayo it,
And there's not a sword to save it,
Aud there's not on? left to lave it
In tho blood which heroes gavo it;
Aud its foes now scorn and brave it ;
Furl it. hide it?let it rest.
Take tbat Banner, 'tis tattered ;
Broken i* its staff and shattered ;
And the valiant hosts are scattered
CT J Over whom it floated high.
Oh, it's hard for us to fold it:
Hard to think there's none to hold it;
Hard that those who once unrolled it
Now ur.'st furl it with a sigh.
Furl that Banner, furl it sadly,
Ouco ten thousands hailed it gladly,
Aud ten thousauds wildly, madly,
Sworo it should forever wavo ;
Swore that foemau's sword should never
Hearts like theirs entwined dissever,
Till that Hag should Boat forever.
O'er their free Join or their grave.
Furl it, for the hrnds that grasped it,
And the bands that fondly clasped it,
Cold and dead are lying low;
And that Banner- it is trailing,
Whilo around it sounds the wailing
Of its people in their woe.
For, though conquered, they adoro it,
Lote the cold, dead hands that bore it,
"Weep for those who fell before it,
Pardon those who trailed and tore it,
But, oh, wildly thoy deplore it,
Now who furl and fold it so.
Furl that Banner, true 'tis goiy,
Yet 'tis wreathed around with glory,
And 'twill live in song and story,
Though its folds are in the dust;
For its fame on brightest pages,
Penned by poets and by sages,
Shall go sounding down the ages
Furl its folds though now we must.
Furl that Bauner, softly, slowly,
Treat it gently - it is holy?
For it droops above the dead.
Touch it net?unfold it never,
Let it droop there furled forever,
For its people's hopes are dead.

VALOR AND VIRTUE.
Address Delivered Before the Ladles'
Memorial Association oi Anderson,
8. C, on Saturday. May 8th, by Col
James A. lloyt, of Greenville, h. C
Mr. Chairman and Ladies of the
Memorial Association :
The, occasion which calls us together
this morning differs from any other
that e m be mentioned as occurring Oil
the lace of the green earth. We are
assembled to do honor to the memory
of men who have passed from the stage
of action, and to revive the recollec
tions of a period which is in the remote
past if we reckon by the swiftness and
importance of events that have come
since that day. Yet it is-not in the
fact that we are paying tribute to fal
len heroes, foi nations long since for
gotten have yielded homage to bravery,
uor that wo are calling to remem
brance the stirring events of other
days, foi tbat is common to mankind.
But wo are here to think and pondei
over a cause that no longer lives, ami
which has no possible resurrection in
the future. Other peoples have, seen
their hopes blasted and the land they
loved pass under the dominion of the
conqueror, but they were subdued and
lettered. They dared not come togeth
er again even to review the records of
their patriotism, and like the Israelite
on the banks of the far-away Euphra
tes they must perforce "hang their
liaips upon the willows," as they must
not biing out the iuumc of their sou's
for fear of exciting the vengeance of
theii enemies. Not so with the men
who wore the grey, and whose proud
pm ilege it has been all these years to
lelunie the camp-tires and rehearse the
story Which never grows old to the
men aud women who lived in the days
ot the Southern Confederacy. No
other government in tlie world would
permit hUCh an assemblage as is before
me to-day for the purposes we have in
view. No other system of government
could stand the strain, which elsewhere
would be made, were a defeated army
to commemorate without let or hin
drance the \ittues and services which
made it illustrious. The tilling powers
would Instinctively suggest and suspect
that a recapitulation ot valiant deeds
meant the repetition of efforts to over
throw their dynasty. There are good
reasons for the exception in our own
land.
First, let nie insist that the Confed
erates were never conquered in the
sense that they were brought into sub
jection and treated as inferiors by those
whom they fought. The Federal sol
diers never imagined that they were
capturing a weak, helpless and depen
dent loe when the sun rose upon the
fateful field of Appoinallox. They did
not expect the Confederate soldiers to
get down into the dust, and cringingly
accept terms that were debasing and
humiliating. Whatever of chagrin and
mortification that came to our fair
Southland, in the eatly years after hos
tilities ceased, was not due to the wish
es and desires of the brave leaders and
honorable private soldiers of IheNorth
oru armies. It was the maddened
spirit of men who gloated over Ihe de
feat of a foe they bad not faced in the
open field of battle. A thousand mil
lion of BUch would never have van
quished the half-slarved, lagged bat
talions that followed Lee, because their
courago was ncvci so high that th.03
wanted it put to an actual lest.
Again, it was the highest safety of
the Republic that the Confederates
wore never consideted in the light of
subjects to a conquering power. The
armies of the world were not BUflicient
to subdue their unconqiiered spirits as
freemen, whose birthright was not af
fected by tho disasters of nil unequal
Wiir. They renewed allegiance to Ihe
United States not as servile minions,
but as co-equals with the truest am I
noblest of patriots, who bad struggled
manfully for the maintenance of prin
ciples dear lo all Americans worthy of
tho name. Because they had failed
to establish the government which in
a peculiar measure repicsentcd their
views, they were not less inclined to
bear their share of the burdens of life,
and to take part in the upbuilding and
development of a reunited couii'.iy.
Thoy did net repine, nor sit in sack
cloth and ashes, but courageously met
the requirements of tho siluntion, and
have compelled the admiration of
thoughtful, earnest men and women
who did not agree with them, just ns
their valor and heroism commanded
the world's applause while the senti
ment of all nations was against them
on the subject of slavery, out of which
grew the contentions ami bickerings
that resulted in bloody strife.
With the underlying causo out of tho
way, whero was I lie wisdom and fore
sight In perpetuating tho strife ? Tho
practical common senso of tho Ameri
can people wan against the ebullition
of passion and the baneful Influence of
prejudice which Idled the hearts aud
minds oi some who wore wont to prate
about the disloyalty and treason of the
South. Tin- proO0S8 was slow but sure
that exterminated and uprooted the
?viiit of onmlly which hung tor a time
like the deadly Upas tree, blighting
and wltnering as it fell upon the so
ilal, religious, political and commercial
interest* of arcumtede? untry. Steadily
the clouds uplifted, and the clear,
peaceful sky looked down upon scenes
that even ilie actors themselves behold
with Wonder. The true representatives
of the blue and the grey have frater
nized in public assemblies from the
St. Lawrence to IheGulf, and from the
grim and oatlorcd walls of Fort Sum
lor, ?\hero valor stood the test on both
sides of the controversy, more than
once has gone a welcome response to
the pteans of peace wafted by the sol
diery of the North. It was peculiarly
appropriate that, among the notable
instances where fraternity broke
through the crust of prejudice and sof
tened the asperities engendered by
war, Fort Moultric and Hunker Uiil
led the way l The extremes were met
again, and the ties of reconciliation
wete the stronger because South Caro
Pn:l and Massachust. Its, ancient and
honorable foes in al ter times, had com
mon memories and transmitted sym
pathies that even deadly strife and im
placable hatred could not exterminate.
11 is not wonderful that the embers of
our great and heroic struggle faded
away in the presence and sun.diinu of
such hallowed associations as knit to
gether the Puritan and the Cavalier
when resisting tyranny and defying op
pression. Hal her wotdd be the wonder
that the descendanls of revolutionary
sires should keep forever apart when
there was no longer contention over
the issues of the past.
New duties, new aspirations, new
alliances were brought into play, and
there was never more a new South
iban its counterpart in the new North.
The ideas and opinions prevailing
ihere were as surely undermined and
extinguished as were the ( U810IUS and
habits of this section swept away to a
large extent by the arbitrament ot the
sword. Hoth sections came to realize
the fruitlcs-mess and barrenness that
must inevitably fellow unless the old
lines of s' rife and bitterness WOro ob
literated, aud in Icsa than three de
cades there was fading away in the
dun distance all traces of the deeply
imbedded piojudlces which marked the
division between North and South.
Anj' other result would have heaped
d'saster upon disaster, and wrecked the
future ol this conn try. Need ii be said
that to the heroic patience a.id manly
resolution of the Confederate soldier is
largely due the happy issuance of these
events ? Hu came back from the sur
render of his hopes and the abandon
ment of Ids cherished aspirations to
begin life anew with all thedisiour
ageinonts and difficulties that confront
ed him. It roquircd a courage and
constancy for this struggle against odds
far more exacting than was the hero
ism which hail given bun the glory of
renown and the imperishable chaplet
accorded to him with generous enthu
siasm by the outside world. His move
ments were watched and weighed, and
his every expression as a citizen was
scrutinized and sifted to find that he
was .steadfastly adhering to the counsi 1
given him by the immortal bee, as he
urged his followers to acquit themselves
in peace with the devotion and forti
tude they had shown in war.
Rronzed by sun
And lit by winter's cold, they bear the
scars
Vnd blows of envious time as valiantly
As once they bore the butTetiiigs of war.
I- or them,a nation's coffers have not bled
To salve their wounds with gold, but when,
worn out
With fatal victories, they left the field
Where valor long had strove in vain with
might,
Like that great son of Koine, whose con
quering arm
Did not disdain to guide the plow, they
sheathed
Their swords, and asking aid of none bat
God,
By honest tail redeemed and glorified
The land their fruitless valor could not
save.
Aye, the Confederate soldier stands
uniquely among the representatives of
a cause that was lost. He has never
made apologies to the most ranco uUS
loo or admitted to his moat intimate
friend that there was reglet for the
part borne by him in the Struggle for
the mastery. He accepted the situa
tion in which he found himself, and
entered without delay upon a career of
industry, frugality and hopeful energy
that has rescued the waste places und
rest Ol od the vitalities that were sup
pressed for four long y< ars. The ab
sorbing interest during that period was
directed to a single point, the achieve
ment of independence for the South
ern Confederacy, and when that had
failed utterly and irrevocably, the i ten
wdio had braved all and suffered all,
thrusting aside the spirit of revenge so
natural in human disappointments,
went earnestly to work with the pur
pose of retrieving the losses incident
to a state of war. No matter that a
stroke, of the pen had destroyed mil
lions upon millions of properly, that
the fields were barren and the store
houses empty, thai food and raiment
were scaice and high, that the asred
aud infirm were in deepest despair,
and that almost every household was
wearing the emblems of mourning,
these men were not dismayed or faint
hearted, hut with slender resources
and limited opportunities they entered
again upon the battle of life, with a
d'.dei initiation that augured victory
from the outset, and compelled the
goddess of fortune to smile upon their
efforts. How well and truly this has
been realized may he seen in the prog
ress made, despite the untoward sur
roundings and in the face of adverse
winds, until now it is an accepted say
ing that the South is the favored held
of the future. AVho was it made this
a possibility ? 1 have no hesitation in
pointing (O the Confederate soldiers as
the foundation stone ol whatever de
velopment has come, and ns being en
titled to the credit of preparing the
way for the Illimitable expansion of
coming years. With smiling fields and
happy homes, growing connnereo and
teeming Industries, enlarged educa
tional facilities and increased growth
of religious sentiment, the South stands
fairly to the front as including within
its borders all that makes life desirable,
which, to the dimmed eyes of many
wdio have acted well their part in this
drama, far excels the possession of co
lossal fortunes gained at tho expense
of toiling millions.
Amid the labors and sacrifices of all
these years, tho precious dust of our
fallen heroes was not forgotten. The
Inspiration which came to a Southern
woman almost identical with tho close
of hostilities h; been perpetuated ]
evoiy season wl'h tho coming of tho
llowers that tell of their roMirrectlon. ,
It is this which has called us together,
and as tho graves are bedecked with
tho emblems of purity and innocence,
the mind goes hack with unerring in
stinct to the days when shot and shell
fell thick and fast among the young
mon of i he South, whoso libations wore
freely offered in tho defencu of what
they believed to be right. O, that it
wcro in my power to depict what dcatli
meant to tin mo youthful heroes at
whose graves we linger with fondest i
memories. They recked not that dan
ger was nigh when dut) called. It was
theirs to leave a heritage of valor and
consecration far belter than glittering
gold and more pieoiouo than diamonds.
Four deadly years we fousht,
Hinged by a frdle of unfaltering lire,
That coiled and hissed in lessening circles
nigber.
Ulood-dycd Ibe Southern wave,
Prom ocean border to calm inland river.
There was n<> pause, no peace, no respite
ever.
Blood ol <>ur bravest bravo
Drenched in ascarict rain the Western lea,
Swelled the hoarse waters of the Tennessee,
Incarnadined the gulfs, the lakes, the rills,
And front a hundred bills
Strained in a mist of slaughter to the skies
Shutting all hope of heaven from mortal
eyes.
Arc these memories to be brushed
aside, and must the glory of splendid
achievement in a noble cause ho for
ever stifled? To the South belongs
the pathos, the pocliy, the romance of
the great struggle, let who will enjoy
the triumph. The distinction is mate
rial and everlasting. It is not wonder
ful that au eminent civilian of New
England soon niter the uar proposed
to obliterate a.1 recollection of the strife
by putting out of sight all the relics
that savored \<f b title and cainage. lie
desiied not to preserve the torn and
tattered ti igs that epitomized the >'h^
rios of Gettysburg and shiloh, and to |
would not erect, monuments to ihe men
who scaled Missionary Midge or plant
ed the stars and stripes upon Vicks
buro's embattlemeitta. His conviction
was that the sections would be reunited
more speedily by complete oblivion of
the past. In this ho was surely mis
taken. A nation that would ?title
the impulse 10 honor the heroic dead
and bury out of view the glorious
achievements of its sons dest rves itself
to perish from the face of the earth.
War with its inevitable hoirora is to
be deplored, hut the nations of antiq
uity nt) less than those of modern limes
arc more renowned through their war
riors than exalted in their statesmen
who were, purely civilians, is a general
rule. It is lamentable that peace has
not prevailed throughout lie ages,
when we look upon the cruelties and
oppressions that are inseparable from
grim- ,aged war, but blond has Bowed
u her? frc loin ever gained a foothold,
and crimson is the royal color. In the
language of another: "England was
redeemed by blood; Italy was united
by blood; Switzerland became free
tnrough blood; Germany was emanci
pated by Idood; America secured Its
liberty through blood; and it is even
so that the great hope Which lilts us
up lo things invisible and etern d came
to us by blood/' To erase the remem
brance of cruel war we must blot oul
the history of every people who have
wrought nobly in behalf of the freedom
and onlighlonmoul of the human race.
Sad as il is in many respects, i ho heart of
mankind is over touched wilh thosloryof
conflict and conquest, and callous must
be the soul whose inmost recesses are
not sliircd by the struggles of patriots
for the boon of freedom or the preser
vation of independence Valiant Cu
bans sliixing to throw off the yoke of
the tyrant Spain, or heroic Greece, de
fying the great powers ol Europe in an
effort to maintain itself among the na
tions of the world, must arouse the
deepest sympathy of every man who
has ever fell the glow of patriotism ill
his own bieast. No, it is not in vain
that men give honor to the deeds of
heroes, and that they gather the relics
which speak more eloquently than
words of the courage and constancy of
theii fatheis, or build monuments that
will point future generations to the
valor and virtue of a noble ancestry.
In this presence it is unnecessary to
eulogi/.e the patience through privation
that marked the Confederate soldier as
ho plodded along the weary years, help
ing to re-establish tho prosperity of ihe
land lhat gave him bi.th and to reha
bilitate the government of his fathers.
The highest encomium that lie can re
ceive is the abundant testimony of
those who were once his enemies, for
in all the land there is not heard the
faintest whisper that the ox-Confcde
rates are unmindful ol I heir obligations
as citizens of a common country. The
false charge of disloyalty has vanished
into thin air, and the groundless cal
umny that he was not fit lo be trusted
has been blotted out by the sploudid
representatives furnished by the "south
for sor\ice at home and abroad. His
noble manhood as soldier and citizen
has been observed, and it has totr-hed
and will yet touch other lives for good,
"Until the stars grow old,
And the suns ?row CO'.d.
And the leaves of the judgment hook un
fold.'

Sons of the Confederacy, I admon
ish you that the legacy which has come
down from your fathers is one that de
serves to be carefully gu tided. Upon
you rests the responsibility in
large measure for the way in which the
generations of the future shall regard
your sires, who staked their all upon
tho arbitrament ol the sword, and
whose failure is linked in the eyes of
the worltl wilh unrighteous purposes.
It is a duty we owe alike to the living
and to the dead that 'heir deeds and
memories he held in perpetual and
tender remembrance, and while of ne
cessity wo must leave to posterity the
final judgmont as to the intrinsic worth
of tho struggle in wo'"' they were en
gaged, as its bears upon tho principles
of constitutional liberty, yet tho duty
is imperative that tho young men of
the South should di'igently mark the
boundary that lies between neglect and
indiffeiencc on tho ono hand nnd pre
tentious assertion on tho other.
Monuments aio to teach coming gen
erations tho courage and the patriotism
ol men who have gone before, nnd have
their uses like the open pago of written
history. Confederate mouumonts tell

who were themselves actors in the ter
rible drama that is now ol'touest repre
sented with 'he insignia of mourning?
They are passing away wih increasing
rapidity each year, and the time is
short in which we can work for the
preservation of the truth and the right.
Our comrades are now sleeping peace

fail to yearn and plead for this tribute
to their dead comrades, and lift their

stone that will give to posterity a token
of their own fidelity 10 Duty's call.
An eminent citizen of Anderson
County wrote the inscription which is
carved upou the beautiful monument
landing in front ol the capitol in Co
lumbia, aud looking forward to the
completion of our monument upon the
public square of this City, so dear lo
many of us by hallowed associations of
ihe pa*t, we would recall the lofty sen
timents of our former tellow-cilizou
when he wrote :
Let the stranger who may in future
tunes read this inscription recognize
that these were men whom power
lould not carrupt, whom death could
not lerrif\, win m defeat could not dis
honor ; and let their virtues plead for
just judgment of ihe cause in which
they perished ; let the South Carolin
ian of another generation 'einen bor
that the Stale tuught them how to live
aud how to die ; and that from her
broken fortunes she h is preserved for
her children the priceless ireasure of
her memories, teaching all who may
claim the aau.o birthright, that Truth,
Coinage and Patriotism endure for
ever."
RESULT OF A FLOOD.
" Hi, Marse John ! Dat ar l'elton
boy s huntin' our hogs ug'in."
John llartwoll, who was busily ham
mering at some, piece of boyish car
pentry in his father's workshop, turn
ed a pair of kindling bluo eyes toward
tho excited youug darkey who rushed
in with tho above information.
" What's that you say. Tom Pete?''
Tom Pete repeated his Statement,
adding the remark that the Helton
boy was "a-heavin' sticks at 'cm an'
makin' 'em run liko do olo Nick !"
John put down his hammer and ex
claimed :
" I'll see. if I can't put a stop to this
business, onco for all !"
As lie spoke, ho strode out of the
workshop and started across tho corn
field, with such an air of angry deter
mination that Tom Fete, running after
him, kicked up his heels and urinned
in high gleo at the prospect of a colli
sion, which was sure to bring the l'el
ton boy to grief.
Jo hi Uartwill and Tracy Helton
were f >; ? ol long standing, though
neither ol them could tell exactly how
their feud had tirst arisen.
The Heltons owned a small planta
tion on tho Suuiluwer River, aud tho
Uartwells had come from too North
some years before and settled on tho
next pi.ice.
Tracy and John, who wore nearly of
the same ago, became acquainted und
wero peaceublo enough tor a time,
though they had occasional disagree
ments, liko all neighbors' boys.
Hut some difliculty more serious
than usual had led to ill-fueling be
tween thorn, which had broken out at
last into open warfare ; so they wore
now declared and downright enemies.
[* was a pity, for they wero both fine
boys, each in his way.
John was a stout, young athloto,
quick-tempered, quick-witted and
ujerry, alwuys ready for work or play,
and throwing himself into both with
qual energy ; whilo Tracy was of a
quieter disposition and did not gut
angry or enthusiastic in a moment, but
was slow to alter his opinions after
thoy wore formed.
"Obstinate as a mule!" John said,
not stopping to think that Tracy's
affection was even raoro deop and last
ing than his wrath ; that ho could be a
very constant friend as weil as an
obstinate enemy.
John was in an exceedingly belli
gerent frame of mind when ho reached
the edge of tho tiold which bordered
on the l'elton plp.oo, and beheld his
father's linedrovoof hogs rushing pell
moll through a corn-stubble, pursued
by a sloodor, dark-eyed boy, who was
vigoiously pelting them with sticks,
clods of earth, or whatover ho could
lay his hand on.
" You stop that, Tracy l'elton !"
shouted John, poromptorily.
"Mind your own husiness and keep
your hogs at home," retorted Tracy,
as he bombarded tho hogs witli a lively
shower of cornstalks.
" I should think this was my busi
ness, and I'll attend to it in earnest if
you don't look out I" cried John, bristl
Ing with wrath and r.solution, "if
you hltono of those hogs again I'll hit
you !"
Accepting this as a challongo, Tracy
promptly throw a short stick, which
took tho largest of tho hogs botiltid
the car and sent tho whole drove
scurrying tumultuously towurd thoir
owner's premises.
John snatched up the stick and hurl
ed it back at Tracy, striking him on
tho shoulder with force enough to
make him very angry, If it did not hui t
him much.
Ho llow at John with doubled fists,
and John, nothing loath, receivod him
In tho cjamo manner.
The result was that Tracy got
whipped, aa usual ; for the two boys
had had several battles already, and,
though Tracy Invariably caino out
second bost, ho never shrank from a
fresh encounter with Iiis stronger foo.
As for John, though ho returned
home after tho battle flashed with
triumph and greatly admired by Tom
Pete, yet he was perfectly aware that
his victory had not settled anything.
It was quite cortain that Tracy was
still determined to chaso the hogs and
othorwiso annoy bis enomy wbonover
ho got a ehaoco.
Howovor, during tho days tbht fol
lowed neither of the boys bad any timo
to wa&to in fruitloss hostilities. Thoy
wero sufficiently occupied with the
business which wa9 now demanding
everybody's attention?that of saving
their persons and property from de
straction by the waters of the river,
which, after rising rapidly for thrco
days, had over-flowed Its banks and was
fast inundating tho whole rogion.
Water from other streams poured In
to swell tbo torrent, cattle v/oro drown
ed and buildings wore swept away.
And still tho flood rose higher day by
day.
People were obliged to move into
tho uppur storied of tuoir noubC>;
thon, as tho water crept up higher, to
tako refuge on the roofa; and, at last,
they were forced to dou for thoir lives
to the high ground, at auialauco of

Mr. Uartwcll had built a sort of llat

dueh floating property aa tho waters
brought within tboir roach.
I There wad a strong current setting
past tho house, and auytiling which
happened to drift into thid eddy was
borno alouo so Bwiftly that a quick
hand was r< quired to capture it; but
. tho boyd hau a long ropo and a polo
with a hook atone end, and by means
of theso implemontd they hauled iu
quite a collection of miscellaneous
articles.
"Hi I look dar!" cried Tom 1W,
suddenly " Dar'd do I'eltm boy'd
doghouse a-conun' down do stream. Id
you tfwino to koioh dat?"
"No; lot it go," said John, with a
scowl. '* I'm not going to savo hi*
old doghouso for him?yea, 1 will,
' too I"
And impulsivo John reached out
hie polo and d'ew iu a gaily-painted
keund, which ho had at onco roeogniz
i ed as tho habitation of Tracy's favorite
I hound.
It was a eumbersomo article to man
I age, but tho two boys contrived to get
it on tho housetop by dint of stout
tUKgiug. As John straightened up
all -i- the lift, ho remarked, witli an
apologetic accent :
I "It cost Mr. Pelton three dollard to
get tho old tiling painted, anil 1 havon't
got anything hgaiust him !"
At thid moment Tom 1'oto gave ut
terunco to anottier excited " ill 1"
I " Dar's a hull raft ob .-mil a-oomin'
down from i'ollon'd place,"' ho said.
' " Sumlin's done busteU ober dar !"
, "Must bo their giuluuso ; father
baid ho wad afraid it wouldu't stand,"
replied John, gazing regretlully it
the nidfd of boards ami tun hers which
came swiftly down tho current. " 1
hope all thut lumber wont eomo bump
ing against thid house," ho auded, with
i a took of apprehend.on.
" If it no, we'll b?dt up, too, fo'
sho'," said Tom Pete, sagely. "It ain't
a-gwino to nit Up, dougn ?it's gwite to
piuos."
in fact, the mass of timbers began to
< fa:l apart and unit, awuy separately,
I and Joiin got ready with his pole to
; pull in tho boards aa thoy were sweep
I lug past. Ali at oucu, with a great
start, ho exclaimed :
i " Tom Pete, there'd somebody hang
; ing on to that board out yonder !"
" lt'd dat ar Pollen boy !" cried Tom
Pete. " He'll git drowuded, sho'l"
Uoforo Tom i'ote spoke, John had
! become awaro that it was Tracy I'ol
ton who clung to that drifting boaid,
and hid whole generoud heart wont out
to his helpless foo in a moment.
"Tom Polo, you hold onto tho rope,"
he said, hastily twidting a coil of it
around hid arm ad ho spoke. " We
can't reach him with tho polo, and ho
don't know how to swim. I'll have to
I go after him."
" Id you gwino to drown'd yo'aelf fo'
dat kin'ob a feller?" Tom Poto de
manded, with strong disapproval.
"Of course not. I'm going to savo
him."
" Ho ain't wuiT savin'," declared
Tom Pete, contemptuously.
" What are you taking about V" said
John, with Hashing eyes. "He's the
i pluckiest follow to light that I ovor
I saw, Do you suppose I'm going to let
him drown because ho doesn't happen
to bo the best friend i'vo got? VVuat
j do you take mo for, anyhow ?"
"Don't tako you fo1 nuUin't" said Tom
' Pete, with a scared look, and hasten
ing to clutch tho ropo, as John im
petuously added :
" Hang on to that ropo now, and
help mo haul him in. If ho gels awuy
i I'll pitch you after him."
And John, with a shout of onooui*
' agemont to hid imperiled foe, Hung
himself into tho water, and struck out
to Tracy's aid. Ho was a sturdy swlm
1 mer, and in a few momentd he came
alongside of tho board to which Tracy
was clinging, and fastened hid rope to
it.
Tom Pote berran to haul in tho rope
with great zeal, while John, putting
ono arm under Tracy's shoulder, and
swimming with tho other, aided in
; propelling him to the housetop, where
thoy quickly drow him up, wet, weak
and shivering, but by no moans devoid
of tho coin age and " pluck " which
John so much admired.
"John Uartwcll, you're a good fol
low," said he, clasping John's hand,
] with a look that spoko more than Iiis
? words. " I thought I whh gone when
j tho ginhousc went, and 1 can tt ll you
. I was glad when you called out to me.
You ivo saved my life, and 1 Bhan'l
for^ . it.'*
" How came you to the ginhoudo? I
thought your folks had all gono to the
hills." asked John.
11 Father and I camo down to feed
tho stock over on the high knoll,''
andwered Tracy. "1 thought 1 should
bo safo enough on tho ginhouse, while
he went over there with a boatload of
_ corn and hay. Hut it gavo way, and
went ovor liko a pile of chips. This
current was too much for It. It will
cost fathor a pretty penny to build a
new giohouse," ho added ruefully.
When Mr. Hartwoll camo back to
get tho beys, ho was very much but
i prised to find Tracy Pel ton in their
j company ; and when Mr. Peltou did
I covorod what had happened, ho wax
] too grateful for tho rescue of his son
to complain about tho loss of his gin'
j house.
When the waterd had linally sub
I sided so that people could return to
I their homes, tho two planters, like ah
j thoir neighbors, found themselves
mue>- poo*i?r 'or lost stock and Injured
property ; too Hood had ono good result
for John and Tracy?it had mado them
j frit nds.

Drisk More Water.?"After
studying tho matter for some years 1
am convinced," said a physician,
"that people do not drink enough of
water. I think that a great majority
of tho cures eft'eotod by drinking the
waters of tho fashionable and un
fashionable medicinal springs In vari
ous parts of tho country would have
resulted If tho same amount of plain,
wholesome, everyday water was drunk
by them. People rush to those springs,
and while thero driuk from 8 to 20
large glasses of their waters in a day.
Whether there are any medicna'
virtues in tho waters, this washing Out
does them good on account of t he extra
washing out they give tbemsi Ivcs, and
It Is tho water instead of the oou
Btltuonoy of the same that docs tho
work. Tho sumo people, if at their
homes, would puss many and many a
day without drinking ono glass of
water. It is my opinion that it is the
water that euros, and that it is tho
wuter that id needed. I am not a
hydropath, or a believer in the theory
that -water taken internally and ex
ternally will euro everything. At the
same time, 1 am satisfied that if peo
ple generally drank from four to six
glasses of water every day they would
have less reason to complain, and suf
fer less from many ailments that now
effect them than they now do."
?Ouo of Mexico's most curious
plants is called tho thread-and-needle
treo, and it bears a close resemblance
to an over-grown asparagus. Along
tho edges of tho leaves, which are
thick and tleshy and full of tiny fibres
of great strength, very sharp "needles"
grow. If pushed back into tho leaf,
ana cut loose from its tough setting
the thorn may be easily pulUd out, a
lot of tho tough little fibres attached to
t he root of the thorn coining with it.
When these fibres are twisted togeth
er with wax a strong smooth thread is
tho resalt.

Choosing the Wkapons.?Short
ly before the Revolution, when the
air was heavily charged with fore
bodiugs of the approaching struggle,
old Major Putnam happened to be
in Hosten. The Major disliked the
redcoats, and sometimes inveighed
against their arrogant supercilious
ness in no gentle terms. One day an
officer of his Majesty's regulars
overheard Putnam assert that the
provincial army, untutored in arms
as they were, would fight with the
courage of trained soldiers. The of
ficer resented the assertion, and after
some hot words challenged the Ma
jor to a duel, provided he dared to
tight.
"Dare!" shouted Putnam. "Why,
at any moment; but I choose the
weapons."
'?Name them," haughtily replied
the officer.
"Two kegs of gunpowder; the
time, to-morrow ; the distance, ten j
paces; the light to bo as follows: j
You to sit on one keg, I on the other, i
a slow-fuse to be attached to each
and lighted, and the one who holds
out the longest shall be declared the
winner."
There was nothing for the officer
to do but accept the unusual wea
pons, und on the following day at the
appointed time and place the com
batants took their seats upon the
kegs of gunpowder. The fuses were
lighted and began sputtering, rapid
ly approaching the kegs. The of
licer was deathly pale, and watched
the growing danger with dilated
eyes. At last he could stand it no
longer, and with a leap he left his
keg and raced like a madman out of
sight. When he had gone Old Put
laughingly kicked the burning fuse,
away and disclosed to his friends a
keg of onions. When the matter
came to light iho officer was sub
jected to the laughs and gibes of the
jntire command.?Harper a Round
