of ISO! hovered over thissouthland 1
how quickly her sons rallied to the r
lianner of right, and with those1 ^
days some of the sndest inemoriis i
interspers? d with some of the sweet- 1
est charms, and my reader, let is i
take the bright side of this, make t
it as ] erfectly as in our power to i
do, as we are journeying to that 1
country from wh nee no traveler i
over returi s. We should deal truly I
and justly with this sk<tch. j.
In the gray dawn of those early i
i r 1 I 1 1 .1 1 I i
?lays oi carnage aim uioousnw, me <
young men of tin* country rose in i
their manhood and nir.de plain to '
an amazing world their greatness, I
and, good reader, will you allow , s
me to say that 1 am one of the God 1
gifted recipients of old father time, j i
These are pleasing thoughts that ]
have n< stled about nie in my wan-1 I
derings of other days, and am made i;
to rejoice in the happy reflection in j
the years gone I y. ;
I shall speak briefly of this one i
subject which is entitled to more ,
than a passing notice. This one 1
subject of cruel war, one of the
noblest of God's creation. 1 am 11
persuaded by n.y religion which t
teaches me that 1 shall treat this j
with the profoundest solemnity, t
and at the same time add the i
blessed memories and, too, the ?
sweetest charms of those we loved j
and admired so much. They fell i
in the very zenith of manhood; they ^
fell at a time when the world was
looking down on them with the
keenest admiration; they fell at a
time when love stories were to load
out in bright pictures of a glorious
future; they fell at a time when all J
the world was looking down on the *
battle field as a glorious heritage to (
the Confederate soldier. 1
With those blessed memories we *
shall mention the name of one
whose hallowed influence has had a '
lasting impression, and one whose 1
indomitable courage has portrayed
the very nature of a Uun soldier; '
one who the very sound of his name
echoed and reechoed over the hills '
of his native land; one whose pathos
and tender emotions has had the
environment of the knightly plume '
and wj.s one of (Jod's noblemen and
endowed with the purest of motives ^
and one, too, who always looked to J
the sunny side and for the better- *
ment of the human race. The hill-'
tops have proclaimed the virtues of *
this gallant and brave soldier. In ^

was dreamed of, and with rich and 1
beautiful enchantments wafted out I
on the morning breeze. The soul |1
that dwells in the sublime glories
*>f Clod's people had almost a dis-.J1
iju'tiveness that was enviable to.1
jlis fellow man, and by his kind
and geniaj nature was loved by all ,
\who knew him, and through all :
the long years since the 2oth day of,
May, bS(>2, his memory has been ;
as pleasant dreams. On that day
ithc god of battle claimed as his
victim and the sweet spirit of .Jack !
i files returned to th ; God who gave
jt. .Had indeed when the news 1
same that J. II. Giles was no more. 1
The God of all nature had called
him from labor to refreshment, '
taken him to the realms of eternal
bliss where the angels of heaven
would shout with an endless joy.
These arc pleasing thoughts that
wells up in our very soul after the
elapse of forty-three years.
Jack Giles had spent his years in
t:ue devotion to his fellow man and
was endowed with a disposition that
always won the sunny side of his 1
fellow creatures. 11
We love him as a brother. Me 1
was kind and generous to all man- 1
kind, but seemingly more especially
to me, as I was yet tender in years
while I served under him, and he
seemed to think that 1 needed the
loving care of a mother instead of '
the orders of an army otfiecr. Jack
Giles was one of the true landmarks 1
of our dear southland. Grand and
noble specimen of manhood and '
had wooed and won for a life com- ,
pan ion one of Union county's fair i
(laughters* of which with pride, ;md I
pleasure wo speak fair eulogy. She '
was one of those nohle specimens
of womanhood. She was one of i
the prettiest and fairest dames of I
her day. Blessed he the man who 1
should 1m; so fortunate in winning1
such as the pretty Mary Jane, as '
she was hotter known. 1 had known !
i her through my boyhood days, she
was a splendid typo of southern refinement.
The rays of sunshine
that lighted her pathway has brightened
the future of others destiny. <
Blessed l>e the tie that hinds the
human race in the way she lias been
blessed. The subject of her first c
betrothal was one of the tlowera of 1
his race, and iny dear reader, we 3

Hetty peeped out cautiously. She
would not Imve them see her for a fortune.
Yes. there was Bert, the center
of the Jolly erowd. and Addle at his
elbow. That had been her (Betty's)
place for so Ions that It had come to
be considered? And It might have
been hers yet if I*crt lia^not? Oh,
well, of cour.-e she was some to blame.
It was not all Bert's fault. She admitted
that reluctantly, for Betty thought
a good deal of her little self. He was

gone to suoli 'lengths and reared an
impassable barrier between them.
"And that's the truth, Betty Brown!"
she apostrophized now. "Why did I do
sueli a ridiculous thing? I might Just
have said I'd never speak to him again;
girls always say that. And I ought to
have stopped there, hut when he
grinned so knowingly, a< if there was
nothing in that, as there isn't usually:
I let it provoke me Into declaring that
if I ever did speak to him again it
would he because I had made up my
mind to marry him. Why, it will be the
same as proposing if 1 ever speak to
him now, when I've evaded? I can
never do it." she sighed.
Bert had not been greatly crushed
by her ultimatum. lie spoke to her
cordially at every opportunity in spite
of her nonresponse with something like
elated expectancy in his manner that
stung Betty to a more determined stubbornness.
"I suppose he thinks I will, but he'll

She had persisted iu ignoring him
icily until at length he seemed to conclude
that It was hopeless and avoided
meeting her. All the time, of course,
Hetty had been hoping he would, somehow,
make her speak, though she would
not have confessed it, nor the disappointment
she felt at his llnally abandoning
his eiTorts and accepting the
situation.
She flirted desperately, which gave
her small satisfaction, as it apparently
did not disturb him In the least. He
flirted, too, and so fervidly that it began
to look serious In regard to Addle
ptark. Betty felt that she was losing
all the fun of life and nil {be Joy ps
well.
She had simulated successfully a
gayety of spirits almost boisterous at
the moonlight skating purty, but had
really been so miserable at seeing tboso
two. Bert and Addle, gliding about, always
together, that she had determined
not to go to the coasting route.
She had refused all offers of escort, but
now, at the passing of the gay party,
she suddenly changed her mind, whipped
on her suit, tucked the becoming
enp on b>r curls and darted after Ned
nn<l Iiis chum, who had Just storied.
"Tagging!" Nod chaffed. Bat he
made no object Ion, for Betty was as
good at coasting as any boy of them,
fully as fearless and as fleet footed,
and now she rushed with them down
alleys, through bnck yards and over
fences, going across lots the nearest
way.
Thus when the crowd arrived Miss
Betty was triumphantly sailing down
th? longest, steepest eours^ with the
yelling boys, cheered by the mob of
town youths usually on the hill.
Most of the girls confined themselves
to the short, easy slope at the side, unless
In charge of a strong, capable escort.
"It Is dangerous, Just with those
boys, Betty," remonstrated her friend,
Alice Hoover.
"And It Is unladylike for a girl to go
floundering down with a gang of fellows,"
commented Addle Star!:, superciliously.
"You don't dare to, that's all," Betty
retorted.
"I'm not the only one. Bert said"?
Bert's appearance out short the
speech, and, laughing shrilly, Betty ran
away to the boys and coaxed them
over to a still steeper spot, where only

Her Indignation grew, and with it lie;

of the coasting ground. Beyond tin

"You're so close now a little bum

anxiously.
"Oh, Betty wants to show off!" Ac

American After Dinner Wit.
"After Dinner Oratory In America"
appears to be one of the subjects forever
Interesting to the British reader.
The manner of It would seem to pique
him a little and shock him at the same
? time. In the Nineteenth Century Daniel
Crlily gives some account of the
1 origin of the peculiar American habit
1 of treating serious matters humorously
r after dinner aud contrasts a banquet
* In New York with, say, a Mansion
House dinner lu London. He quotes
1 Lowell's ingredients of after dinner
e oratory. "They are," said Lowell, "the
1 joke, the quotation and the platitude,
V and the successful platitude, in my
< Judgment, requires a very high order
t of genius." As an example of Atneri*
can wit Mr. Crlily gives the follow'
lug:
"I chanced to be In Chicago (said this
gentleman at a dinner board to a comr
pany of fellow New Knglandcrs) two
7 or three days after the great fire of
1 1871. As I walked among the smoking
* ruins if I saw a man with a cheerful
s air I knew that lie was a resldeut of
1 Chicago. If I saw a man with a long
' face I knew that he represented a
* Hartford Insurance company. Keally
? the cheerful resignation with which
r the Chicago neople endured the losses
1 of Now England did honor to human
t nnturo."

Of course the neighbors were curlf

t "Our past Is a secret," said the man,

My wife and I have just completed a

"Well," said the neighbor, "I am asr
