I TOTJOH NOT THAT FLAGH incarceration in Southern prisons, arrived from Washington, and remained in tbe city until the aepature of the Detroit boat in the evening. Daring the day they they amtised themselves by strolling around town. One of them, seeing a group of people gathered around the steps near the Merchants' Bank, stepped up to learn the cause, and, like others turned to examine the photographs. Suddenly he uttered an exclamation of surprise, looked oloeely at the portrait of the young widow, and then rushed up stairs to find the artist. Mr. Byder being pointed out to him down stairs, he begged to know how he became possessed of the picture, and an explanation was given. In a few hurried words the soldier stated the cause of his interest, obtained the picture from the case, and declared his intention of finding the lady if she was anywhere to be found. Fortunately, Mr. Byder knew the lady who accompanied the young widow, and at once went with the soldier to her residence. Both ladies were at home. No sooner did the young widow see the soldier, than she shrieked and fell in a fainting fit; for her lover that she had supposed dead, stood before her. He had been taken prisoner at Bull Bun instead of being killed, but had refused to write to any person, and his comrades in prison, knew nothing of his friends or previous history, so that tho fact of his captivity remained known to but few it any. Mutual cxplanationt followed the happy meeting, and there is every indication that, all obstacles having been removed, the sorrows and sufferings of the pair will be terminated by a happy marriage, at no distant day. At all events the widow's visit to the Esst has been indefinitely postponed, and she has returned to Michigan, the now happy and re-united couple having first sat to Byder for a pair of large photographic portraits, and taking his own portrait with them as souvenir of the joyful meeting caused by a picture from his camera.— Cleveland paper.

It has been erected for the purpose of supplying daily rations of fresh fermented bread to the army of the Potomac, and the loaves are to be sent up the river every morning to be distributed among the soldiers. This is Sood news. For months past this army as been chiefly supplied with hard crackers for bread, and the wounded had no better fare. Much of the sickness of the soldiers in Virginia, when on active service in the field, and thus prevented from obtaining fresh bread, oan be traced to the constant use of dry hard eraekera, not that this was not good food of its kind, but because men require frequent changes of food, and becauso unfermented bread is not so easily digested as fermented bread. In the early part of the Crimean war the British soldiera were supplyed with hard biscuits mclusively, and the result was dysentarv, scurvy and general disability. A remedy was provided in the form of fresh baked, fermented bread, supplied by Dr. Hamlin, the enlightened American missionary at Constantinople. He first contracted to supply 80,000 loaves daily; then increased the number to 60,000, and the result was most marked in the improved health of the soldiers. The mortality by sickness during the last year of the war, was less in the Crimea than in the barracks in England. Of course we do not attribute this favorable state of health in that army altogether to the use of fresh bread, but it was certainly one of the grand agencies whioh tended to secure it, and the same result may be expected from its use in the army of the Potomac. We trust that wisdom will characterize those who have the selection of the materials for making the army bread. It should not be made of the fine wheaten flour exclusively, but a mixture of fine flour with middlings, or of unbolted ground wheat. From a great number o( experiment* made with bread formed of fine wheaten flour, rye flour, mixtures of fine flour with middlings (some of the hullings) and bread made of unbolted ground wheat, it has been found that the latter is the most healthy especially for soldiers. This is the reason why coarse bread, made of unbolted rye meal, and unbolted ground wheat, is chiefly used in all the European armies. A reason for this is found in the composition of the grain, and the arrangement of the substances of which jt is composed. The inorganic salts—suob as the phosphates, common salt, &c.—in wheat, reside chiefly in the husk, and a supply of those to the human body is as necessary to health as the starch and gluten which arc chiefly contained in the interior of the grain. Bread made of fine flour devoid of several inorganic salts necessary to the health of man cannot be so suitable for the food of soldiers as the coarse bread made from unbolted wheaten flour, which, contain* such salts. Beaufort, S. C., July 80,1862. Sir : We are quite conscious of, and fully appreciate the fact, that many persons throughout the loyal States are making great sacrifices for the cause of our beloved country, and are doing much for the physical comfort and spiritual welfare of our soldiers. Muob has already been accomplished by tho generous donation of tracts, papers, and other religious publications.— And the hallowed influences thus exerted for the religious culture of the soldier are veiy great. Eternity alone will reveal their blessed results. Jan. 1, 1846. GROCERS, EAOLE HOTEL, PITTBTON, PA.— GEORGE LAZARUS, Proprietor. Pitts ton, Doc. », 1M1. *°y 103 Murray, near Veit Street, GEO. W.

IS, 1800. ttV Yet, both our experience and observation clearly demonstrate to us, that in connection with our religious services in tho camp, Christian correspondence from homo is doing more for tho spiritual advancement of our men in the army than any other instrumentality employed. The soldier, whether officer or private, old or young, will read a letter who would not read a tract or religious paper. First, because it is addressed immediately to him. Second, because it is written by one personally interested in his welfare. Even the least paper or tract enclosed to a soldier, by the kindred or friend addreffaing him, with the request to read it, will incline him to read and read it, until its truthes are indelibly impressed upon bis heart. The letter, with its contents, thus addressed to him will be carefully folded and placed in his pocket for future reference. So that when out on picket duty, or during his leisure moments, he will have something to read and occupy his mind. The impression made by such letters is like bread cast upon the waters, to be found after many days. We would say, then, parents write to your sons, wives write to your husbands, sisters write to your brothers, children write to your parents—write often, cheerfully and encouragingly. Let your letters abound in words of cheer, and breathing the spirit of Christian sympathy and love. Kindly admonish your friends to shun the evils incident to camp life. Urge them to lay hold of the sure promises of the Gospel, which will purify, strengthen, and save the soul. In the name and by tho authority of the "Great Captain of oar Salvation," we say to pastors and people write messages of love to our soldiers.— We do not ask foe. long and studied letter* but simplo, home like, cheerful Christian letters. Christian young ladies, write.-— Write to all your friends and  who have gone forth to battle for our country. Let no feelings of false delioaey deter you in this matter. And in writing, seek to blend the endearments of home and the occurrences of the neighborhood with the story of tho cross. You will thus strew the rugged pathway of the defenders of. our country with flowers of immortal bloom, and accomplish much good for the salvation of souls and the glory of God.

[Juno 12, 18C2-6ra About a year ago the original of the portrait lived with her father, a " well to do farmer," of the Grand River Valley, Michigan, these two constituting the entire family. The old man was in rapidly failing health, and was exceedingly desiriona that his daughter should be married to a young farmer who passionately loved her. The girl, however, had already given her heart to a young man whom »he had frequently met whilst on a visit to Detroit, and who waa sinocrely attached to her. The lover was not in a position that would justify his pressing his suit, therefore the engagement was kept a secret An Indian Story.—There ii an Extern story, which has its version in many languages, of a beautiful damsel, to whom a genius of surpassing power desired to give a talisman. He enjoined her to take herself across a field of standing oorn; the was to pluck the tallest and largest ear she could find; bat she was to gather it aa she went forward, and never pause in her path, or step backward in quest of her object. In proportion to the siie and ripeness of the car she gathered, bo would be its power as a talisman. She went out upon her quest, says the legend, and entered upon the field. Many a tal( stalk of surpassing excellence met her glance, but still she walked on, expecting always to find some one more excellent still. At last she reached a portion of the field where the crops were thinner and the ears more stunted. She regretted the tall and graoeful stalks she had left behind, but diadained to pick those whioh fell ao far below what her idea was of a perfect ear. But, alas! the stems grew more ragged and more scanty as she trod onward ; on the margin of the field they were mildewed, and when she had accomplished her walk through the waving grain she emerged on the other side without having gathered any car whatever. The genius rebuked her for her folly, but we aro told that he gave her an opportunity of retrieving her error. Wo may apply this smytie little Indian fable to the realities of daily life.

By some 11 cans the father became possessed of the iccret of the attachment, and without comnunicating the fact of his knowledge tc ;he daughter, he wrote the Detroit lover pointing out the hopelessness of his suit ind stating that the lady was shortly to be ;ome the bride of ayoung farmer for whon she had been for years dostined. He ad ied that an attempt to change his deereC would be giving the lad; needless pain. Immediately on receipt of this erne blow to all hopes, the young man enlistee in a Michigan regiment under orders to leavo for Washington,and wrote a brief noti announcing the fact, begging her to fonce him, and bidding her farewell forever.

The famous Dnke of Marlborough is a ease in point.— * It was said of him by one eotemporary, thai hia agreeable manners often converted an enemy into a friend; and by another, that it was more pleasing to b« denied a favor by hia grace, than to reoeire U ftoa any other man. The gracious manner of Charles James Fox preserved him frap dislike, even at a time when he was, polity cally, the most unpopular man in the king* dom. The world's history Is fall of such examples of success obtained by civility. The experience of every man furnishes, if we recall the past, frequent instances where conciliatory manners have made the fortunes of phyaieiaas, lawyers, divines, politicians, merchants, and indeed, individuals of all pursuits. To men, civility ia what beauty ia to women—it is a general passport to favor—a letter of introduction, written in langaage that every one understands. A,. PENTER WORK IN GENERAL. OF ALL KINDS.
