Ilia dear old foftp and face as he appeared In those days will ever be before me. Hftwas a Samson In thclostcause, before the war a private citizen. Dr. Horace TibboU, living Tiansylvania caused to be established a telegraph line ., from Vicksburg to Lake Providence. _ This hne he built for his own private use ta order tbat be might have the news of the day each morning telegraphed him iwhen spending a while on his plantation each year, as was the custom of large planters. This little line proved to be a godsend to the Confederates at Vicksburg. for ts soon as the news of the downfall #1 '• Memphis was received Lee Daniel wis ordered lo Transylvania lo lake charge l, of said wire, keeping a strict lookout for any federal boats coming down the river as the federals would no donbl make an attack on Vicksburg. The writer was ordered across the river opposite Vleksbiirg. wfth instructions not to be absent from his post more than oae hour at a time. All batteries at Vicksburg were e ordered to resiwcl my red liglil at night and green flag by day when crossing the y. .tlfT ln ■ 9k'1. which I used for the purpose of atndlng for Auplles and forwarding any news' id the general cornOne dark and stormy night (I shall never forget it), I had met seveinl of the 1 soldier boys from Houston— my old 1 schoolmates, most of them— many long : since dead, but I hope not forgotten, and, Y naturally, we enjoyed oursclve, causing s the writer to overstay bis .time somewhat Although having on board a consider- ■ aide amount of Louiaana rum, the only drink obtainable in Vicksburg, an idea ' * took possesion of me that it was very v important I should be at ny post st ' _ once, as something might occur which, should il occur without my knowledge, would render a desertion ot the Confcderwey on my part necessary. The wind was blowing a hurricane and 1 the waves of the Misaharipi'wcre fearful ' to gaxe upon. 1 1 eared my frail craft would hardly live in such a sea, but I- knowing it to ba all my own fault tbat I . _ had tan caught ta such a 'storm on the wrong side of the river, determined me 1 to c.-oss at all haxartls. After superhuman efforts 1 reached j the IxxrMaoa shore in safety. Hastily securing my boat, with a choking sensation ft my Uiroat. for esoilement at neglect of my duty had rendered me , almost a paraiclic. 1 roidied inlo the office, t and. as telegraphers aay. cut'ta. lasunl - tancousiy I lir ared my oM chum (Daniel) calling "v""v"»llh the energy of dlspair.

Tliere are emergeacels when It oeetna , necessary to trouble a neighbor to lend the lacking convenience, but such occations should be as rare as good management can make tbem. A loose habit of forgetting to keep one's kitchen sup. plied favors the prasltoe of running next door qr aacross the street to borrow a . ;enp of sugar, an ounce of tea, a loaf of bread, a take of soap, <Jr whatever the 1 need may be; but such a practice sumps 1 tbe mistress of the bouse as a slovenly, ; improvident housekeeper, whose, care- , IcsS ways stand ta strenuous need of re ; f-ero.

In this way, ' , | Without much trouble to any one, tbe , | foolish syatem of running out ta borrow L I j will pass out of existence, and the neigh- ' , bora with whom the friendly exchanges I I : have been made will ta time learn to feel i . backward about borrowing from those ; I who never barrow from them. |
