T^obrland’s Troops. Near Now Kent Court House, Va., General Do Trobrland’s brigade en» camped in a field in which was an ill- tempered bull. At first the animal seemed to pay no attention to what was going on, but after the arms had been stacked and the men had scattered in all directions in search of wood and water, he began to be excited by the unusual stir. ' As be began pawing the ground and bellowing, the dogs of the regiment set up a chorus of barking and. immediately started in the direction of the bull. He charged-resolutely upon .the first five or six of them, and'the men hastened from all sides-to enjoy the spectacle. The moment the bull saw that he had enemies more worthy of his .notice, he fell upon the nearest. The men,- who had no arms except their canteens and tin cilps, took to their heels with all haste, and their companions, seeing that the sport was becoming serious, made for the fence, in the midst of cries and laughter, thfe noise pf which caine nearer and nearer. Blinded by rage, worried by the dogs, the bull InV f c iv bounds was at the front of the regiment. 'The Lieutenant- Colonel was there at that moment, giv ing orders, when twenty voices at once . called to him: “ Look out!” -He turned his boad; the animal-<was almost 'Upon ( hiln, foaming at the mqutk*. fire In his eyes, with horns lowered? ■With one bound the LieutAnant-Col onel jumped to one sideThls fopt slipped and he fell in a furrow. Happily for him,- the brute was under suciuheadway that Up eould not stop nor even turn be fore striking our stacks of arms-with his lowered head. He knocked over two or three of them, threw himself on the line, of the Sixty.-second, overturn ing every thing in his passage, and again turned upon us in the midst of a general rout. V On our right was the Seventh Massa chusetts. Ono of their wagons had stopped near the road, and behind the wagon was chained s fine Newfoundland dog, the pet of the regiment. Tho courageous dog made frantic efforts to get fto.se, and a general cry went up: “ Unchain tjrfMlog! Unchain the dog!” . The defg was loosed. He bounded across the road and rushed upon the en emy whom rto one knew how to fight. A- few men. Indeed, bad seized their guns, but they could not use tbem-for fear of killing some of their comrades. As to playing the role picador with the 'bayonet/it was so flangerous that no one was willing to try it. When tho Newfoundland entered the lists every thing was changed. For a moment the dog and the bull stopped In front of each other, while a circle of warriors was formed around them. Than followed a series of maneuvers for position 'till all at once tho Mg dog mad a feint, turned sharply back, sprang at the head of the hull, and re mained fastened to his ear—a weight of noteless than sixty or eighty pounds. The bull first tried to free himself by tossing the dog Into the air. Next he tried to crush him under his feet. But the dog saved himself with great ad dress; and then the hull, mad with pain and rage, began to run at a venture, bel lowing fearfully, and carrying the huge dog fastened like a vise to his ear. At this Instant tho commissary ser geant of the regifnent, a butcher by- trade, came up. Ho armed himself with a hatchet, and one vigorous blow upon the backbone of the bull put an end to th«j contest.—Youth’s Companion. A TOUCH ING INC IDEN T.’ . A Baity Found an the Bloody Battle-Field ' o f the liatclile. Let me relate to you a touching little .Incident that will seem a little strange to yOu. I thought it passing strange, if not wonderful, when I witnessed it. At the battle of the Hatohle, when the con flict was waging fiercest, uponadvancing midway between the contending forces, wo found—what do you think? Not a masked battery, nor any engine of death, but a sweet little blue-eyed baby. Sweet little thing, as I saw It there, hugging the cold earth—its only.bod— tho little tear on Its cheek. "That na ture bid it weep unalarmed 'mid the aw ful confusion of that fearful battle, with the missiles of death lying thick about it, and, yot unhurt, It deemed a wonder ful verification of the Divine declara tion, .“Out of the mouths pf babes and .sucklings will 1 ordain wisdom:” . That little child of war. as it lay in Its mirac ulous safety, seemed tosay to me these words of profound instruction, “My helplessness and innocence appealed to God, and. he preserved me in the midst of carnago. If you will makeyour ’plaint to Heaven God will proserve your, poor blooding cofintry.” Little child of destiny, born mid the flash of musketry, tho thunder of can non and the elash of arms, 1will watch your course through life, if possible, and see what your history may be. Who' would suppose that in -.the wild, fierce battle of the Hatohle, whoso the field was strewn with tho dead, and the shrieks of the wounded rent tho heav ens with agony, a great army would pause in the thickest 'of the conflict to save a harmless, helpless child? Yet the brave Fourteenth, that never yet has quailed In battle, did pause, and an officer of tho regiment ordered “our lit tle baby” carried to headquarters and tenderly oared for. I remember of having read Some jyhore in Grecian history a story some thing like the one I have related. A little child' was found on tho battle field. and by an infuriated soldier was trampled in the dust. After the battle the victorious Gonerai, in an address to his army said: “ But for the blood of a little child that mars . It, our victory would have been complete." Thank God the blood of no little child marred pur victory. The next day after tho battle .“ our babe” was brought before the -Four teenth, and unanimously adopted “ child of the regiment." Three or'four days later, strange as it may seem, a poor, heart-s.ricken mother came searching tho battle-field in quest of her child. Imagine, if you can. tho wild exclama tions of thanksgiving that burst from that poor woman’s heart when informed that her chi 1(1, hud been rescued, and with a mother's tenderness earod for. I saw the mother receive her child, heard her brief prayer foi the soldiers who saved it, and with the blessings of a thousand men following her and. hers, she took awuy "our little baby” --little bluotoyed, laughing baby. -Extract from a Letter from a Private Soldier in the Fourteenth Illinois, in American Tribune. his first service of love Was finished every one In the Union line's understood the mission of the noble soldier In gray, and not a man fired a shot, He-staid there on that terrible field an hour and a half, giving drink to the thirsty and ,dying, straightening their dramped and mangled limbs, pillowing 1their hegds on their knapsacks, and. Bpreading their army coats and blankets over them, ns a mother would cover her chi.ld, and all the while be was 80 en‘ gaged, until his' gentle ministry was finished, the fusillade of death was hushed. Hatred forbore its rage in a tribute to the deed of pity.—Westmin ster Teacher. UP IN TH E BELFRY. One Lona Michigan Soldier Guarding a Union Flag at Petersburg. . . It will be. remembered that Peters burg and the strong works which raadfe it the. key to'the .rebel-capital were evacuated on the night of. Sunday, AprH 3. Less than two miles aWay, at Mea^lo- Station, bn, “Grant’ sMilitary Railroad,"' Was tlfe famous, “ rustic chapel” Of the United States Christian Commission, Used that evening as a hospital and filled with soldiers from the battlefields. It was long after midnight before wo rest ed from our varied service of providing refreshment for tho wounded, saying words of comfort to dying men, and writing out in our tent their last fries-"' sages to the friends at homo they would never see. Between two and, three o'clock we were aroused by the bidwing up gf the rebel rams on tile James, and saw from ' the hill near by the fiorco- shells of .the Ninth Corps’ artillery fiercely flying Into tho doomed city. At 'four o’clock' we were there again, and heard at our front the exultant shouts of “ the boys” and the sig nificant strains of Yankee Doodle. A littlo later wo—“Carlton,” • the war-correspondent and war-writer, was one of us—were “ following the flag” over rebel abatis and through de serted magazines to tho evneuated city. Not one Confederate soldier was left, and only ono wearing the blue, who seemed to have been separated from his command and to be in a dazed condition, exclaiming: “ We’ ve got into Peters burg, and got the flag upon the moetin- bouse!” The flag proved to be on tho venorablo court-liouso, which wo found filled with Union officers and soldiers. Clambering, up. a rude ladder of cleats on the w'ti.ll.j I reached the attic and groped through it to the belfry. In it was one lono Michigan soldier, proudly guarding the dear-old flaghe..had hoisted there hours before—a matter of history •which he had recorded with his name [W. ,T. Wixcoy, now of Nt. Louis, Mo."] an the belfry blinds. There I left him, boiling over with enthusiasm, and I should bo unable to say that be Was not there still had I not, ton years after wards, i-11mbod .up the same steps and found the' belfry unguarded and the patriotic inscription gone.—C.

The Part That Woman Should Perform in Bulidlng the Households o f Church and State. Assaying of holy writ will provide me witha toxt. It is this: **A wise'woman buildoth her house, but the foolish pull 6th it down with'her hands," It will hardly bo needful, said Julia Ward Howe, at the annual meeting of tho New England Suffrage Association, to dwell upon the truth of this saying in its more familiar 'npplibation. All' of us who have lived, and learned by liv ing, have seen houses built' by women; indeed, no house is built up without a woman’s powerful help, *It is not al ways that of a wife and mother; that is the best and moat complete, hut soipe- \lmea nnotheV supplies tho woman’s.part' in tho domostic^ecopomy, looking out fop every nepd, supplying every want,. Sometimes the very memory, and Spirit of a woman, hjsrself- no lo.ng'or present .In the body, helps to rule and order tho- housohold. She built Her house, and it remains a tower of strength and com fort to those"who fbilow hor. It is pain ful to dwell Xipon the opposite picture; that of tho foqlish woman-who sacrifices tho household peace tatlie wild impulses or sayago slothfulness of a mind unin formed and a heart unrpformed. Tho lessons drawn from these statements are twofold, f should like to consider very, briefly tho social waysof thinking, which help this women .to bo .wise or foolish, and then to consider the part that wom en-should have in building our religious household, the church,, and our civio household, the State; and 1would say a word of tho importance' of_vistas, of a far-reaching outlook into'-the conse quences of woman's actions. If- tho foolish woman- could seo before hor, uvon as far as iho outcome of things in her personal earthly life, sho would not pursue the lino of conduct whiph pulls down her house,'instead of :building It up. Tho greatest of modern -=philo'so- phors says that man'cr.n not roach his full moral development without tho idea of in^morlality; that is. without tho farthest and widest outlook of which the human mind is capable. This doctrine applies in another way to the moral at tainments possible to .women. They, too, need the wide outlook, tho horizon of good and of evil carried to its utmost limits. Woman can not attain their noblest stature without the stimulus bo- loro thorn of the noblest duties, of thq final goal of .their ,endeavors. Now wifehood ' and motherhood, sacred, as they are, do not fn themselves of neces sity afford this outlook.' Both may be very self-limited uud limiting relations. A woman will naturally lovu her hus band and child as herself, as, indeed, she should. But this iporely personal relation promises no onward step in tho way of woman’s progress, no training of individuals for intelligent service to'tho State. , Another generation of 'men,and women, arriving at this point an'd get ting no farther, become morally fossil ized, and are, to ull .-intents and pur poses, in a state of arrested civilization, Now, the humansoul craves to achieve, more than this; and much of the wild sin and passion of society- comes from the pentup force of liutpan desire, for, which.no fltor satisfying object Is found. Under froo institutions, such an'object is supplied. Every man. has not only a passive, but also an active-, duly to ward thji State. It is his part not only to endmre thoJawR, but aid, in enforcing them. Vffho cry of society to him is per- petuallyv^GMiie up h igh land that1 lie. responds op 'll nny ono lenows who has observed-men nude? the old ordor and undor the. new; and -this is tho funds-- mental necessity which compels human itarians to ignoro tho evils of popular government, its capacity, its corruption. IVe must have it. becauso the man must have his outlook! He must soo.hefore him tho wliolo moral possibility to which his , nature is ehtitled, Hh can not rlso worthily without aspiration; he «an not asplro to what he can not see. It would seem almost superfluous tosay that tho woman of, to-day needs this as much as the man docs. "Let tincat and drink, for remtefoe- woman, “ Lot us dross and dilnce, for to morrow wo marry—orjgrow old unmar ried.” Thank God, the higher education sots aside this misorabln statute of lim itations. Its exhortation Is, "Let-us study and attain, > for to-morrow wo 'vote.” Plato's dream of justice is a db vino truth,, and, like every di vine" idea, °is_ to ho real ized. -Women aro ^to bo trained for public sentiment, public duty, oven in tho sacred retirement of private lift*. ■ Sho who has no .gift of eloquence; hut has a minij, and can study the public interest, has a‘Will,'and can help to pro mote it.

The wlso woman build- ctb her house. Gentlemen, give her a chance to build it beside you and with you. Tho fate of ancient Troy, and of many another city, shows us what the foolish woman can do—-the woman who is satisfied with her beauty and her fas cination—and its direful consequences to herself and others* But Pallas Athene was the tutelary deity of lief city—she dropped her tote at tho urn of the Areopagus. She and tho noble sis terhood who, since her time* have often Intervened to save the State from de struction—theie ate the feminine ideals of todays tbp women who' build family," the church, the State, with.mjT' find as worthily as they. ^ TH E LABOR S T ANDPOINT, Tbe Ballot 'as a Mean* of Security the Working Woman Her Blghta.
