When he was about to deliver an address at the Confederate re-union in Craig; county recently, some one came to him and asked him if he would speak to an old colored man who wished to speak to him. The general consented, and the old negro, whose name was Sam, and who had forght throughout the war, came and received the proffered hand. General Lee at once began to put questions to the old fellow who answered with wonderful skill, The general then asked him where he had seen the best time during the war. “At Chickamauga,” at once replied the darkey, “because I ran as soon as the firing began.” “But how did yo now in which way to run in such a hot battle?" asked General Lee, with a merry twinkle in his eye. “I went directly to the safest place, and the first I could find,” answered Sam, coming to his climax, Again he was asked how he could tell which place was safe. “I knowed it was safe,” answered Sam, ‘cause I skipped for de place whar de ginirils was.” HIS DARLING. My darling’s hair is all her own ; And, though it’s fiery red, She doesn’t hang it on a chair Before she goes to bed. My darling does not wear false teeth; And though I should not rave About the ones she has, they are The set that Nature gave. My darling’s form is not made up With aids of any kind; Although she weighs 200 pounds, No artifice you'll find, And, as I hold her to my breast, While whirling in the waltz, It is so comforting to think My darling is not false!
