Never Used 3timulants.

> From an anecdotal and personal article on "Gen. Lee After the War,” by Mrs. Margaret J. Preston, in Junq <Jen*ury, we quote the following: “He had the gentlest way possible of giving counsel and admin’sterlng rebuke. 1 remember hearing him say. In a presence where such testimony was worth more than a dozen temperance lecture*! ‘Men need no stimulant; it 13 some* thing, lam persuaded, that they can do without When I went into th<| field, at the beginfng of the war, u good lady friend of mine gave me tw . sealed bottles of very superb French brandy. I carried them with me through the entire campaign; -and .when I met my friend again, after all was over. I gave her back her both bottles of brandy, with the seals unbroken. It may have been some comfort to met to know that I had them in case of sudden emergency, but the moment never came when I needed to use them." ,
