The falling hair is turning frray, And time seems now to hurry on More fleetly tlian in days of yore, Peforc the heart became its irey, Hofore 'twas saddened to tiie core, lie-lore the hair was turning gray. Yes, turning gray! age comes like snow, As still, and curves each care-worn line Its wrinkles on the hrow will grow, Ihe hair with silvery streaks will shine, I The eyes their brightness lose, the hand i (Jrow dry and tremulous and thin ; For life, alas! is quickly spanned, And Death its gates soon closes in ! Ah, turning gray! wo fain would hide. This sign how long wit h t hue we've been ; Thes; deepened wrinkles side by side Cut by the sorrows we have seen. For feeble- beats the heart as years More thickly cluster on our Lead, As autumn raindrops hang like tears, On some fair flower that's nearly dead ! Like perished petals from the flower Our hopes and wildest jo s are laid, Horn only for a day r.r hour, Sweet gambols by the fancy played. As age comes on, we long tor rest," As saints near shrines will long to pray; But still! we love that timethe best, Before the hair was turning grav ! 3icnioir of General. Custer. A few days before the graduating exercises of his class were to take place, Custer was thrown into the guard-house by order of the com mandant for having permitted a tisti cutt" encounter between two under class men while he was oilicer of the day. lie was not permitted to take part in the graduation ceremonies, and when his class left the aca..emv for the regiments to which they were assigned, he lay in disgrace awaiting a court martial. This was in June, lbtil. The war had just begun, and the armies were organizing. There was a great want of competent drill masters, and some one suggested to Gen. Scott that there was a superior drillmaster in the guard-house ai AY est Point. f-o Young Luster was sent for, and placed at one of the bar- I racks near Washington to instruct the green volunteers in tiie manual of arms. Just before the battle of Bull linn, McDowell, who was iu command of the Army of the Poto mac, asked for an engineer. Custer was detailed to act tempo arily in such a capacity on McDowell's staii, and took an active part in the battle, distinguishing himself for hraery, coolness and eiiiciency, and aiding materially in the reorganization of the army afterward. His service was so important that (lie order for his court martial was revoked, and la? was sent into active service with tho 1 ill. regular cavalry under ?-Ic-Clellan. It was not difficult in those days f'M' a young man of his ability, enterprise ami daring, to rise, and in lN'o lie found himself a major-general at the atro of twenty-two. 1 have he:ird from his own lips the story of his courtship, and it was so characteri.-tie of the man, so illustra tive of his eau't-bo-be;.teii disposi io:i that it must be told. During Ids al.sence at West Point, his famiiy moved from Ohio to Monroe, Midi., where they now reside, and after one of his campaigns in Virginia, the boy-general went home on furlough, lie was fre-di from some of his raid?., and he had already captured more llags and prisoners than any oilicer in the war. There was an ovation for him at his home. The people of Monroe rejoiced iu his successes then, as they are mourning for his fate to-day But there was cum gen tle maiden in that town, a Miss D.t con, the daughter of one of his fath- er'e neighbors, who had no taste for ! soldiers, and who rather frowned than smiled upon the gallant young cavalier. As late would have it, Cus ter was more attracted by her than by all the other ladies in this new home he was visiting, for the first time, and her repulses aggravated him till his obstinacy was aroused, and he determined to conquer this haughty country girl, who refused to smile with the rest of womankind upon him. I remember how he de scribed his feelings; how he proceed ed in his suit, inquired about and ascertained the characteristics of the lady, and how he lesolved to lay c, deliberate siege for the occupation of her heart. He called upon her one day, but the servant w as instruct ed to ask that Miss Bacon mig t be excused. He called again, and caught her at a window unprepared. Here the siege began ; her aversion was conquered, and when he went back to the army in Virginia he took her with him as his bride. She rode beside him in all his marches, after ward, in the war. She dept beside him many a night when they biv ouacked with no coverlid but tho stars; she watched his departure for many a battle, and welcomed hifi re turn. She was the patron saint of his army, and her gentle sympathy and kindness are remembered by thousands of soldiers to-day. At the close of the war she went with him to Texas, and accompanied him on several severe campaigns. In 1872 she rode with the regiment from Texas to Fort Lincoln, Dakota, a distance of 2,000 miles Custer had 1ii4 fiT1i1f lnf if i u-i(Yl: unra lo-rf and a character that meets the type of womanly nobility, puritv and coodness can encircle in its halo an object loved, Custer can partake of her salvation, for she, if a woman ever did, has plenty of grace to spare. Liong association with danger, long experience with the privations and annoy ancey of a frontier life have sweetened rather than poisoned her disposition, and she was as well pre pared as a wife ever could be for tho j pain sho is suffering to-day. j While I was the guest of General ' Custer at Port Lincoln in 1S71, I was ; witness of an incident that impressed ' rue. I entered his library one even- ing. and found him sitting on a low stool by his desk, with a spelling book in his hand. Before him were two little girls, one white and tiie other colored, the children of his LTjiuu. Apologizing tor my inter- rnption, I started' to withdraw, when he cru-tl oul in his hearty way: "Don't go! Come in and see my school," ami I found it was his cus tom daily to spend an hour hearing the recitations of these children, for whom at the post there were' no schools. Custer's pretentions to literature were not great, although ho wrote a great deal for publication and wret ?vfoi tt: . iwu- " -r - f V' lllsbook. Life on the Plains. which was originallv py. hlished i to Dr. ii istii-ii in j the form of monthly papers for the J Gala.n, was a mere pastime to oceu I py t!iu lonely days of a winter's i:o- prisoninent on tl.e frontier, and his snb-equent publications were made merely for the sam:- reason. His life was a succession f novel and inter esting experiences, and he had the faculty-of tolling them graphically. It was his inteiiif n to write a series of personal remini conces of the v ar, the first chapter f which a sketch of the battle of i "nil V. h is a - ready been priuied. C O.'C'Clll. li iut'' The Ilnssi-Jii Czar. Everybody remembers the story of the Ilussian Czar, who, discoursing to a brother sovereign of the knowl edge of the virtue of obedience in Russia, told him hat if he (the Czar) were to command his general to jump into iho f,ea from the high dill' upon which they were standing, the oHicer would obey. The poten tate addressed sigr.itied his incredul ity. "Jump into the sea!" said the Czar to the general. The latter obeyed instantly, and was dashed to pieces on the sea-b.-aten crags below. Aurelia School tells, in the ene- ment, a fctory of Russian obedience j !...i. j... ;.. . ' results than this. The Czar Xicli las once held a re vie i; of his army in honor of a lady whose beauty had onarmed mm. JJtiring the mreo, his cavalry came up ou a trot. The Czar desiring to improve the efibet. gave the command to gallop. Rut the colonel of the regiment who had not understood the order, eoni i j i i the tile past on a trot. Nichoia-, ; n raged, advanced toward him and shouted, "I say g road to Siberia!' llo and take the time tiie col onel understood, and started ou ; brisk gallop to Siberia. Some mo- j ments after, the Czar recounted, with i much hilarity, this eirciiuitaiiee in j the hearing of tho Luly in uiut.se j honor the review was held. Si.e was m'.c!i troubled, and b d him. w lit tears in her ;. e.--., to pardon the regiment, lie oons used, and dis patched a squad to call the exiles back. But the regiment had obeyed the order ;; well that it was impos sible to overtake it. Ihe scuad i;t i out, i f course, continued, ihe pur suit, and to thto day nothing has been hoard of the regiment or squad. Perhaps they were overwhelmed by Siberian buouv.. Perhapa they per ished -of r-tarvatio:i. I'ethaps tln-y are galloping yet. Perhaps the story was a lie. The Iirst f iraoe-ViJie. When aechus was a boy, he journeyed through Hellas, to go to irasiii; and, an tho way was very long, he gre.v tired, and fiat down upon a stano to rest. As he sat there with his eyes upon the ground, he saw u little plant springing up be tween his feet, and. was so m eh pleased with it that he determined to take it with him and plant it in Naxia. He took it up and carried it away witu him; but as the sun was very hot lie feared it might withe before he retched his destination. He found a bird's skeleton into which he thrust, the plant, and went on. But in his hand the plant sprouted so fast that it sprouted out of tiie bones above and below. This gave him fear of its withering, and he cast about for a remedy. He found a lion's bone, which was thicker than the bird's skeleton, and stuck the skeleton, with the plant in it, into the bone of the lion. Ere long, how ever, the plant grew out of the lion's bone, likewise. Then lu; found the bone of au ass, larger still than that of the lion; so lie put the lion's bone, containing the bird's skeleton and the plant, into the as's bone, and thus he made his way to Xaxia. When about to tet the plant, he found that the roots had entwined themselves around the bird's skele ton, the lion's bone, and the ass's bone; and, as he could not remove it without damaging the roots, he planted it as it was, and it came speedily, and bore to his great joy the most delicious grapes, from which iie made the first wine, and gave it to men to drink. But behold a miracle! When men drank of it, thev first sang like birds; nex", after drinking a little more, they became vigorous and gallant like lions; but, when they drank more still, they be haved like asses. DEsntiNG to Make ax Impassion. Self-importance or, rather, a pie- j vailing conciousness of self, is the ' most universal hindrance to the at- ! tainment f agreeable manners. A woman of delicate feelings and cul tivated mind, who goes into com pany determined to be interested rathe than to interest, can scarcely fail to please. We are assured, how ever, tiiat in this respect there is something very defective in the present state of society. All desire .... ,t-n on nimn'ssinn. none to be impressed; and thus the social in tercourse of every day is rendered wearisome, if not disgusting, by the constant struggle of contending par ties to assume the same relative position ,T.

David Swing: "Wine is not half so dangerous as lace cr furniture. When a taste or fondness for display comes in, then the love of the beau tiful has gone mad, and the fashion able lady is no longer a student of God's gilts and man'a art; she has become an unstrung harp.

Great as are the i ils wli eh result from the use of strong drink, yet, could wo see cleat ly the fountains of human ills, we should discover that, in the pow er to injure society, the thirst for ardent sj-.iiits has been f-urpassed of late by the longing for eh-gant homes ami elegant furniture, and what are euiUHi tno ai)Hnnuit'Mts in tho fashionable tongue. It is unite probable that the "appointments' of former times, a decanter and a glass, injured the world less profoundly; for intemperance has often left the conscience and all the moral senti ments noble, but the love cl display seems always to drag the mind ami soul into mill, leaving no sentiment in full vit;or except vanity. At least this is true, that ii. temperance is a known, a confessed evil, and men have learned to bo cm their guard, whereas this passion for display is it balf-eoncoalcd enemy, hiding be hind such saints as taste and beauty.

The Xew York 7V.TV, Sept. 17th, coniain.s the following: About two o'clock yesterday morning a young man, w hose name is said to ho Wood, hoitl'ded the iir-t Atlantic Expfo.s ear on the llud-on Kivcr Baiiroad at Albany, ami asked the poster for a 1 tdy whom he described, that was on the car. Tin? stranger said the l.idy was his wife, aad tint he had come from Xew York to meet her. The purler gave the stranger the number of the lady's berth in the sleeping car at Plattsbnrg, and ente ring the car. which was dimly lighted, Wood groped his way along till he came to Ihe berth indicated, and drawing the curtains aside put his hands towards his wifj. He, however, struck a man, and the stranger, thinking the porter might have made a mistake, hurried back to him and told him there was a man iu that berth instead of a woman. The porter said there was a woman in the berth when lie left the car, and when the two went back, the stranger found his wife in t:.e berth, but it is alleged that, ho a!-o found Theodore Tilton there. A sceae followed, the strangerthic.it euing to shoot Tilton. Mr. Tilton motioned him away, and excused his predicament by saying that he had been very sleepy, and having occa sion to leave ids berth, on his return made a mistake. Suddenly the hus band of the woman struck Tilton a blow in the face, and then a, brake man interfered and parted the two men, and Mr. Tilton got into the : p per berth, the husband sitting on the edge of the lower one. All the par ties concerned came on to this city, and pnrted nt the (irand Central de pat; Mr. Wood walking away arm-in-arm with Ins wif., and Mr. Tilton it is said, bidding them a polite "Good morning." A reporter called upon Mr. Tilton at his residence in Brooklyn yesterday, and ask d him if he desired to make any statement contradictory of the charge made against him, or explanatory of it. "1 am very much obliged to yon," said Mr. Tilton in reply, "for afford -ing me an opportunity of speaking, but I prefer not to speak. I partic ularly request that you do not make the sligiitest effort to interview me." A Frz.T.E r ok the Pjtvstcians. -The New York IL rald of Friday says the ca.se, of llobert C.

In ihe first days of August there is a hegira of the townpeople toward up country farms. It is the month when school children are every where, free and when fruits are ripen iug. lie who has a wiie's cousin in the country now resumes his ac quaintance, to drop it again with the advent of colder days. Country relatives are bores in spring, nuis ances in autumn ami utter evils in w inter. August alone shows them in all their rural loveliness. We hope ear reader had a distant rela- J " . 11 ' 1 ii all j our white duck clothes, so that the farmer's wife may enjov the hot wash uavs. A i;irc:o oniptv hasket will be handv, for when you leave you miiy bring with you the only half bushed e;f pears the poor fellow has been able to rai.se. For real country pleasure a long, thin walk ing stick is desirable, and with it you may poke down the few peaches that the poor, rod -faced woman lias been watching all summer long and hoping to brandy for winter use. Nobody goes into the country with out wishing to get i'at on pure cream; so every morning at ten, w iicn you rise for tiie second break fast, which has to bo prepared for your sake, go into the cool cellar, skim t ho cre.vm wh ich i.; vising for the churning ami do not forget to leave a city dike taste of cocktails - ii. the cup and pan. It would be well to go into the lieid at any time and ask the farmer to take you to the town for you letters, and if you can invito some fellow citizen to visit you the farmer will go down for him with the best buggy. He will be de lighted to leave his work and go if you will only pay the six cents toll. Sometimes the quiet farmer has had the wisli to give his children a friste of watermelons, and, as he. has suc ceeded in raising; live or six, to the de light of the ;oor youngsters, who go dow n into toe patch every day to see th e green monsters grow, have no hesitation in plugging every blessed melon until you get one to suit you, then sit on the fence and eat it in sight of the little ones and spurt the pits at them. They think city men are so idee. Melons are country productions, ami you must not for-g-'-t that you go to get country food and luxuries "plain, healthy coun try fare, you know." Country peo ple g'l so used to melons and plums th.it you ea.. take them all for your self. l"ou had better go to church on Sunday, when the farmer's wife stay at home, end slews over the kf'Ao. boiling pears and getting up a nice tea ag.tin.st your return. Be fore you start y-k her to wash and icon a white necktie for yon. When you come back from church make fun of thy music; it may be her sis ter alio plays the melodeon. Last of all, when you are leaving with that basket with the only half bushel of pears tucked between your knees ami you are hinting that you do not hold baskets in the city, be so good us to tell t ho yoor woman as to tell the poor woman that you do not sup pose she ever comes to tiie city, but thai if John happens to be in Xew York you hope he will run into the stole for a minute ami let yon know how they all get alorg.

"Good-bye, John." X. Y. Herald. An Aid i-Tcbacco Ladies' League. If theie is nothing new under the sun, there is a remarkable euort this year to revive old customs. A lady, while engaged in passing her time vigorously doing nothing this sum mer, conceived the idea of trying to enlist her sisters in tin organization for suppressing the use of tobacco among gentlemen in tiie presenoe of ladies. She is a well-known society lady, and had succeeded in stopping her husband in the use of the weed. There was no diilieulty in starting it at Saratoga, and ere 21 hours had passed, she had the names of 51 la dies, married and single, who .all agreed that they would not tolerate the use of tobacco in any form in their presence, and that they would cut the acquaintance of any mascu line who inflicted it upon them, hus bands of wives present only excepted. It was a complete success for about 10 days, when the parties began to separate. '1 lie new unli tobacco de eiplo has now set her wits to work to apply tho same principle to her own circle of society in New York. She has already had a meeting of a select f--w a Iter home, and ha--, been prom ised the co-operation of a large num ber of her acquaintances. This is very interesting for the ladies, but what will be the. effect upon the gen tlemen ? A Washington special says: The total coinage at the mints during September was i:70.tK.iOO. inciud i.ig s-JojiOdX-'O gold coin.

The occasion was ihe trial of the impeachment of Relknap, one of whose counsel was addressing the Senate silting as a Court of Impeach ment. The description is from "A Woman's Detter," in The AJrooS.-: One cannot but notice that, dis tinct nod obvious s.s are the state ments of the distinguished counsel, and forcible and natural as are his . i , ... conclusions, no v t labors under a difficulty, the same as a preacher must suil'.-r when it is his lot to speak to an audience vh"-re he sees no per- ' i - .i Vermont, reclines his indent attitude: Kellv, mut m som the stout, of !

The only Senator who looks uttent, sit ting erect and eyeing the speaker, is the colored Senator Bruce, who seems really happy to be instructed and, anxious to catch every point, or else he is too polite not to appear so. How the heart of the orator must warm toward this sole, good listener. All others lounge, or recline, listen ing, perhaps, all tiie same. ;.lnglishnie:i and their Manners. Notice a thiong of persons in any street, says L. J. Jennings's London letter, no matter where and it will be found that they have a rosier, more cheeful, better-fed appearance than an average concourse ed' Ameri cans the people somehow look as if their food did them good and as if they found time occasionally to enjoy themselves. A good-natured set tbey seeui to be on the whole, although by no means courteous or polished in manners. I doubt whether the English will ever be a polite people it is not in their biood. When I see a dozen of them together wheth er in the country or in town, in a drawing-room or a theatre, at a club or a hotel I am always struck by their rudeness to each other. They will scarcely answer a question in a civil manner. They walk into the coffee room of a hotel, where ladies are present, with their hats on, and shout out for and to the waiter in their loudest and most commanding tones. They stand all across a door way, and will not make room for anybody to pass, and if you enter a railroad carriage where a few of them are, they glare at you in a manner which speedily convinces you that you have no right there and have been guilty of an unwarrantable in trusion. Yet this bearishness is chief ly on the surface, and underneath the Englishman is a kindly-hearted, hospitable sort of a man, although I must say that he manages to disguise it pretty thoroughly. A Tofcmxii Incident. -One day some men who had been condemned to hard labor on the public works for various crimes, were occupied in repairing one? of the Vienna str ots. There passed that way a good look ing, well-dressed young man ; he stopped near one of the convicts, embraced him aftectionately, ancl went on. A State official had been at his window during this scene, and was much astonished at it. He had tiie young man brought to him. an t said : "My friend, there is something very peculiar iu embracing a comiet in the street. What will people think of von?" The young man said nothing for a few moments, but soon recovering himself, he replied: "My lord, I only followed the dic tates of duty and my heart, for the convict is my father." Touched by these words, and ad miring the nob!e conduct of the young man. the official hastened to tell the emperor what had happened. i he sovereign recognized the beauty of the filial act, and gave the con vict's son an important post.

Ihj ii ice of Wool una Wool ii row in s?. The prices of wooldiave not been so encouraging as was desired by the growers of t..e sta e in the Uuited States. The periodical cry of the manufacturers and middle-men, that the clip was an unusually- heavy one, may have had some eileet but wo look for the principal cause iu tho general business depression that pre- vails throughout the country. Mon eyed men have plenty of money any body can get it who stands ready to mrtgaee ins farm or house and lot; but eapital manufacturing invest i ment is scarce. Many woolen mills have bee n idle or running ou short time, while the exigencies of busi ness compel the holders of cloths to realize at prices that will not justify them in laying in stocks of raw ma- terial. As has always been the case, we may look for discouragement amoung such wool-growers as have, not " enlisted for the war" men. who hoed to get rich and retire be- f.xv t .i.., i ows of hard times" fell across their pathway. To such we would say, don't sacrifice good sheep. If you have more than you can. keep well, cull out the less desirable ones, and get them into mutton con dition as soon as possible. Grass and grain are comparatively cheap, and ::oo;i mutton will buy all that is needed, and leave a profit besides, li you would winter the remainder cheaply, be careful to get and keep, them in good condition. Fat sheep wiii l.ul require so much attention as po.ir ou.'s, ;.ud the percentage of losses w ill be much smaller. Begin to winter your sheep now. The men w ho make money out of sheep are not those who go into the business when the products of tho tlock bring good prices, and begin to. get out as soon as a less encouraging j outlook kind of is presented JLhe right neep handled in the riedifc way, may b fair return depended upon for a throngh evil ancl t hrough good report" from the wool market. Those who make luoney "in the long run," from sheep, aro the men w ho ' hold fast that which is good." and w ho, by judicious. ( breeding and liberal feeding, con stantly strive to make it better. z. Lice Stock Juitr.-.t!:. .SoiisoiiabH1 Advice. The Health Board of New York at, a late meeting adopted the following report of the Sanitary Committee on. the prevailing diseases of infants, and ordered 20,000 published and dis tributed: Never neglect looseness of tho bowels in an infant. Consult tho family or dispensary physician at once and he will give you rules alout what it should take and howitshould be nursed. Keep your rooms as cool as possible; have them well ventila ted -and do not allow any bad smells to come from sinks, garbage-boxes, gutters, etc., about the house where, you live. See to your own part be ing right and complain to the Board of Health if your neigdbors' houses, are offensive. When an infant is cross and irritable in the hot weath er a trip on the water will do it a great du al of good, and may prevent cholera infantum. Do not allow your children to eat unripe or dried fruit. An infant under a year old should not have any fruit exceit by a physician's orders. In very hot weather dress your children in thin clothing and bathe them with cool water one, two or more times a day. Children under ten months to a year do not need anything but the breast or goo 1 milk. Cow's milk, when pure, is made like mother's milk by adding one-third water to two-thirds milk and warming to blood heat and a little over one and a quarter ounces of white sugar to a pint of mixture; but in the city a good deal of tho milk has plenty of water and too lit tle cream. If yon do not nurse tho child, see that the nursing bottle tube and mouth-piece are kept in clean water when not in use. Tho. addition of a little soda will keep them from turning sour. If the ba by does not thrive well on cow's milk, consult a physician and tako him seme of the milk you are using. The other morning as the conduc tor of a train going west from De troit was passing around after tickets he came to a man who waived him away with a very important air, at the same time remarking: "Pass on, sir, pass on." "I want your ticket," replied tlio conductor. "Ticket, you hireling of an anar chy!" shouted the man, purling out his cheeks. "Sir, I own this road ! I bought it just before leaving De troit, .and while I would like to retain von in mv employ, you must bo mot e civil" or I shall discharge you on the spot, even if you have a doz en children to support." "I must have your ticket or mon ey," said the crucial. "Cousider yourself discharged!" roared the man. Ho was left on the track between two stations. lie sat down on a log to pin his paper collar on, and his last words as the train moved off were : "Gentlemen, this outrage will make the country shudder from Maino to Texas.
