I fought with him for three years, and a good officer he was ; but he had one fault as a general, which was that bis army never got paid. I wanted my three years' pay, but finding there was neither pay nor plunder, I got tired of it, and made my way home to the States, and at last arrived at the capital, with only one extra shirt and not a cent in my poe- ket. 1 happened to meet wilh a tailor whose customer I bad once been, when | had money and paid my bills ; and be ob served that my coat was rather shabby, and that I could not appear in it.

It makes amends for all the privations that I uader- went in my last campaign with General Bolivar, for the General and his aids-de- camps fared no better than the meavest soldier." : That last was a hit. I did not say that 1 was aid-de camp to Bolivar, but they thought proper to fancy so. The to the young ladies, ¢ I am going to do a very rude thing ; I wish to ask a question which Mr. ---- would not like to reply to"except in strict confidence.

The question which the President put to me was one which I could not well answer, but be helped me out of my diffi- culty by answering it aécording to his own views, and then appealing to me if be was not correct. I replied that I cer- tainly was not at liberty, although I bad left the service of General Bolivar, to re- peat all that I koew ; © fortunately," con- tinued I, bowing, ¢ where clear-sightedness is apparent, there is no occasion for the question being answered.' ¢ You are right, Mr. , I wish all those about me had your discretion and high sense of honor,' replied the Presi- dent, who had one of my new brass but- tons between his thumb and finger; ¢ and I perceive by your reply that T was also right in my conjecture. I am much oblig- ed to you, and trust I shall see you at Government House.' ¢ I bowed and retired. ¢T am going ahead dow, at all events, thought I, as everyone was looking as I retreated. I bad been walking arm in. arm with the daughters of the two first officers of the State, I had been in confi dential communication with the President, and that before all the elite of Washing- ton. 1 can now venture to order another suit of clothes, but never will I forget you, my old brown coat.' The next day the tailor came to me,he had heard what had taken place at the.ball, and to me for order, and [ ordered everything. Cards were left in showers; I was received everywhere, the President was my friend, and from that moment I went ahead faster' and faster every day tll [ am as you now see, well off, well married, well ap in the world. : Now I do most pertinaciously declare that it was all owing to the old brown coat ; and | have kep! this cuff which 1 show to my wife to prove that I am grateful, for had it not been for the old brown coat I should never have been blessed with her for a companion. « But,' said the wife, around whose waist he had gently encirlced his arm, 'he old brown coat would have done nothing with- out the velvet collar and the new brass but- tone.' ¢ Certainly not, my dear.' «And they would not have effected much without they had been backed by--' ¢ What 7 ¢ Impudence ! replied the lady, givirg him a slight slap on the cheek. ee ~-- CATCHING THK EARLY TRAIN. One of the greatest delights of being in the country for the suinmer is the pleasure a man derives from his efforts to catch the early mording train by which he must reach the city andjhis business. 'When he gets out of bed he looks at his watch and finds that he has plenty of time so he dresses leisure- ly and sits down to breakfaet in a calm and surene state of mind. Just as he oracks his first egg he hears the up train. He otarts, jerks out his watch compares it with the clock finds that it is 11 minutes slow, and that he has only four minutes left in which to get to the depot. In an awtul hurry he attem pte to scoop the egg out of the ehell, but it barns his fingers, the skin is tough and after fooling with it for a moment it smashes into a hopeless mass and he gete his fingers smeared; he drops the whole concern disgustéd and grabs a hot roll then scalds hie moth with swallow of coffee then he stuffs the roll in his mouth and his wife hands him his satchel and says she thinks she hears theiwhistle. He plunges madly around the room looking for his umbrella; then kisses his wife as well'as he can with.all that unswallowéd bread distending his ¢heeks tries to say good bye to sll in a jump and make a dash for the door. Just as he gels to the gate he finds that he forgot his President made me a bow, and as it ap. peared, he wanted to have some informa tion from that quarter, and he asked many questions, all of which I was able to ans wer with precision. day, not early in the morning, as [ bad 30 expected, but past meridian, and I walked After a quarter of an hour's cofiversation, during which the whole room was wondering who it was that was so intimate with the President, and many were (rying to catch what was said, the President-- presuming, as Boli- var's aid-de-camp, that I could give him information upon a certain point, and not wishing to have the answer public--said duster and charges back takes it up and tears down the gravel walk in a rage: He is undignified, but he walks furiously. He sees the make a rush. doean'tlike to run throngh the village, for it goes faster. Half way down be hears the whistle. He wants to run but he knows he wonld start up that yellow dog by Ihe fo pés. Then he actuall 3108 of ) Siokalk be a in af ~ play any symptoms of disquiet depot, and he feels that \ he must He does. The yellow dog becomes excited, and tears after him. Six other dogs join in the chase one after the - a I, WHOLE NO. 812 his legs. Small boys contribute to the ex- citment, as he goes past, by whistling on their fingers ; and the men at work on the new meeting-house knock off to look at hin and laugh. He feel# ridiculous, but he must catch thattrain. He gets desperate when he has to slacken up until two or three wo. men who are on the sidewalk discussing the servant girl question and the price of butter, scatter to let him pass: He arrives within 100 yards of the depot, with dustef flying in the wind and coat-tails horizontal and the yellow dog nipping at bis heels just as the train begins to move. He puts on extra pressure and resolves to make that train or perish. He reaches it as the last oar 18 going past. He seizes the hand-rail, is violently jerked around once or twice, but finaly lands on the step on his knees, and is hauled in by the coat collar by the brakesman, hot, and dusty, with his trou= ers torn acioss the knees, his shins brused, and three ribs in his umbrella broken. Just as he gets comfortably ito the car the train stope, backs up on the siding, and lays there for half an hour while the engineer fixesa broken valve. Then he is madder than ever, and detérmined to move in to mor row, and swears while he looks out of the window and watches the dog that followed him engage in a contest over a bone which the yellow dog found on the platform of the station; and he registers u silent vow to vote his first holiday to hunting vp that dog, and braining him with a club. rr ---------- eee MILK AS MKDICINE. The London Milk Journal says, on the authority of Dr. Benjamin Clarke, that in the East Indies warm milk ie used to a great extent as specific for diarrhea. A pint every four hours will check the most violent dwartheea, stomach ache, incipient cholera' and dysentry. The\milk should never be boiled, but only Posted suffici- ently to be agreeably warm, not too tot to dink. Milk which has been boiled ig unfit for use. The writer gives several in- stances to show the value of this substance in artesting this disease, among which is the following. The writer says : = "It has never failed in curing in six or think, fifty times. T'have also given it to a dying man who had been subject to dysentry eight months, latterly accom- panied by one continual diarrhea, and it acted on him like a charm. In wo days his diarrh@a was gone, in three weeks he became a hale, fat man, and now nothing that may hereafter occur will ever shake his faith in hot milk. A writer also com- municates to the Medicgl Times and Ga- zelle a statement of tho value of milk in twenty-six cases of typhoud fever, in every one of which its great value was apparent. It checks diarrhea, and nourishes and cools the body. People suffering from disease require food quite as much as those in health, and much more so in certain dia- eases where there is rapid waste of the system. Frequently al| ordinary food in certain diseases is rajected by the stomach, and even loathed by the patient, but nature, ever beneficient had furnished a food that in all diseases 18 benefical --in some direct- ly curative. Such a food is milk. The writer in the journal last quoted, Dr, Alex- ander Yale, alter giving particular abserva- tions upon the points above mentioned, viz: Its action in checking diarrhea, its nourishiog properties, and its action in cooling the body, says: ¢ \We believe that milk nourishes in fever, promotes sleep, wards ofl delirium, soothes the intestines, and, in fine, is the sine qua non in typhoid fever." We have also lately tested the value of milk in scarlet tever, and learn that it is now recommended by the medical faculty in all cases of this often very dis~ treseing children's disease. Give all the milk the patient will take, even during the period of greatest fever; it keeps np the strength of the patient, acts well upon the stomach, and is in every way a blessed thing in this sickness. m------------ Always examine ui oid plig hat before you kick it.
