SCIEKCE vs. BETJIE EOECE.
I weuton a two weeks' vacation from my couuliiig-Iiouse iu Xmniloii to Ger¬ many, and was lookiug tlowu the good town of Hiedelberg from tlie terraces of SIoli-Keii-Kar. At this inoiueut a huge steeple-crowned hat whit-'h, driven by the wiud, ricochets off my shoulder, und is just lolling over the brow of the hill, when I spring forward and clinch it. Turniug lo look for the owuer, I lind myself face lo face with a quiet, pleasant-looking old gentleman iu frilled shirt aud black silk stockings, evideutly a man of some uote, by the respect with which tbe habitues make wai' 'or him. "Jfauy thanks, mein Herr," says the old mau, as I restore his errant head gear.
This led lo some couversalion, and finally to au invitation by the profes¬ sor (for such be was) to go home with him iu so hearty a manuer thatl could not resist, and, a quarter of au hour later I stood before the door of a tall, grim-looking stoue house at the coruer of tbo JFarket-Place, the curiou.sly carved front of wliich showed tbat it had seen more tbau oue ceutury. If ils outside was stern aud unpromising, its iuside was comfortable iu the highest degree; aud so I thought wheu I found myself seated overa subslan¬ tial German sujiper in the Professor's snuggery, and heard tbe old geulle- inau's cheery voice bidding me " fall to and spare nothing."
¦VVbile c.atiug I fouud lime lo glance rouud the room, which (save for its an¬ tique furniture and the cross-beams of dark oak) differed but Iitlle from tlie countless olber laboratories that I had seeu in various other towns of South¬ ern Germany; but one object attracted my atlenlion—a human skeleton plant¬ ed upright in a corner, iircsenting a pislol menacingly wilh its tleshlcss hand. The Prores.sor noticed the di¬ rection of my eyes aud smiled signifi¬ cantly.
"Thai's the curiosity I was speakiug of," said he; " it has a history of its own, which is wortii hearing. When we have (ill ished supper I'll tell it you. i And accordingly, as soou as our meal was ended, Herr Weissenbart settled himself comfortably in his great easy chair, liglited an enormous Gsrinau pipe, whicb the most seasoned "fox" in the Uuiveisity would have fouud hard to smoke out, and began ns follows:
"At the time  I   bought   this house, mein Herr, I had just eulered upon the hai>picst   period of my wbole  life.   1 had   at  length   oblained   lhe   modest competence   for  which   I   had   long labored iu vain; aud could s'jy to my¬ self, wbeu Isat dowu iu my easy chair in the evening and lit my pipe, 'JJow, .Tiistus Weissenbart, thou hast done all tbatthe earthly aud corporeal partof thee ileiuaud.s for its sustenance; hence¬ forth thon art free to serve the cause of science, and, il may be, even lo add a little giain of knowledge to lbe sum of human leiiriiiug.'   1 went lo work with all earHestiie.=-s.   I tilled my house witll rare   plants,   rare   fossils,  rare   miu- eral.s.     I   iiaid    liigh    for   curiosities of   every    kind.     Onco   I   gave    a liandfull  of thalei's   for the   careasH of a donkey, wbich exliibiteti a singu¬ lar inUforniation of the spinal column. Its dissection letl me lo one ofthe most interesting  discoveries wbich I h.ive ever made.   All, meiu Herr! you who are a man of amusement antl adventure, cannot fathom the delight I fell in cut¬ ting  up  that glorious  doukey!   But once before iu my whole life did I ex¬ perieuce Uie same pleasure, aud that was when I called iu, a little- while after I lirst came here, to treat a patient who.se case exliibited some very unu¬ sual and perplexing symptoms.   I ex¬ amined him ;   I reflecled;   the  truth Hashed upon me.   I fluug my hat on tbe giouud, and embracing the sick mau with rapture, cried out, ' I cou¬ gralulale you, my frieud! you h.ive re¬ vived a disease which has beeu un¬ kuown for the last six centuries!'"
Tbe iilcaof such aconsolatiou admin¬ istered to an invalid was loo much for my gravity. Iu spite of all efl'orts to compose myself, I laughed till I was fairly exliuusted, and Herr Weissenbart very gotid-humoredly joined in the merriment, tliough evidently without the least suspicion of haviug given any cause for it.
" Well, meiu lieber Herr," he con¬ tinued, "you doubtless have remarked it as a siuguiar law of nature that when¬ ever a mau lives all by himself, Ina particularly old aud shabby-looking house, he invariably acquires the repu¬ tation of being immensely rich. Per¬ haps my paying so high for fossils aud skeletonagave some color to the myth in my caso; but ut any rale Iwas soon
known in Heidelberg as the rich Pro¬ fessor Weissenbart, andjmy friends be¬ gan to warn me that If I did not take cara I might some day chance toget robbed.
" Now, at the time I had but one ser¬ vant, who had been with me for many years, and was beginning to get old and feeble. Everyone said that he was uot enough to take care of the house by himself, and I'd belter get a younger man to help him ; hut I didn't like lo vex poor old Johaun by seeming to think him past work.rj So I just let things go on as lhey were. He was a capital servant, auti did his work as well as man could do, but he had oue falling. He would"— a significant gesture of the Professor's hand, as if lifting a gloss lo his lips, completed the senleuce.
H'm I rather a'.bad fault iu ;a man upon whom the;safety of Ihe Iiouse de¬ pended," I observed.
"So I thought,"auswered tbe profes¬ sor, "and;more th.in once I doubl«d whether il might not be as well to take my friend's advice after all aud eugage a second servant. S But I kept putting it oir aud pulling it uOir,'lili.i:at last I got niiulshed for my hesilaliou, as you shall bear."
"Ouo night i;bnd sent Johann out to do some marketing, and was expect¬ ing him back every miuute. As a rule whenever be went abroad he took tbe house kcyS(lo wliicli I had a duplicate) along witb him, so that nobody could get iu till he came back unless I chose lo let them. He was very {lUtictnal on the whole, but lliis lime ten—Ilfteen— Iwenty minutes passed and there was no sign of bim. J began to fear that he might have taken a glass loo much as he sometimes dii(, and was just thinking of goiug to look after him, wben all at ouce I heard Mar tlo',vii below, a noise as if the house-door had becu sutltlenly opeued aud shut again, .•md then a .step coming up the stairs right toward my door. I have a quick ear of my owu. antl it struck me direct¬ ly tbat the tread was liriner and heavier than old Johauu's. I guessed at once tbat there had been foul play somewhere, and lor a moment I thought of locking my door aud calling for help througfi the wimlow; but ou second Ibouslits I decided that it would be better lo let Ihe intruder (whoever he might lie) come.right up to me aud see what he really wanted."
I_ looked at the professor with luvol- uulaiy admiration. To hear this little, delicate, benevolenl-looUing oltl geulle¬ man talkiug so co-lily of deliberately allowing a robber (perhaps more than one) to march right into his room al uight, without alirring a step to give the alarm, simply because he " Ihougbt it better lo see whal he wanted"—bad really heroic flavor ^about it; I bent eagerly forward to hear the scjuel of the adventure.
"The door opened," pursued my friend, "and in came a tall, burly fel¬ low, with a black mask on bis face, antl a pistol In hid hand. Tbe moment he was iu he locEed the door behind him, put tbe key in his pocket, and came forward to the table where f was sit¬ ting.
"'Now, my old 'uu,' said he wilh a chuckle, "we've got the house all to ourselves. Yonr servant's lying fast asleep uuder the club room table at tlie Thirsty Fox. Drugged beer's a fine thing to make a man sleep sound, and he won't wake much before to-morrow moruing. In tlie meantime nut witb your money or you're a dead man!'
"He cocked Iiis pistol as bespoke, and levelled it at my head.
"You will think, mine Herr, thatl must have been frighteued; butstrauge as it may seem, T was not. Had I mel this man iu the street, or out in tbe open couutry, he would have been ou his owu ground; but here, within the walls of mj- laboratory, he was on mine. He Came to me in the guise ofa uew experiment, aud I felt him in my power. Before he had doue speakiug I hud tried him iu my owu mintl, con¬ demned him, and sentenced him lo death."
Soft and pleasant as the old man's voice was, there was a hard metallic riuginit just then, aud au ominous compicssion  of   the    small    delicate mouth, which showed me for the lirst time, wbat this quiel, good humored aeUolar might be capable of doing.   In truth, the cruelly of liassiou or revenge I Is as notliing to that of science.   I'ar- rhasius crucifying his slave in order to gain a more vivid idea of the suftWriiigs whioh   he    painted—Michael   Angelo stuiiying with cool aualylical keenness the loathsome miuuliic of tbe plague hospitals—Dr. Le Cat keeping horses and dogs alive  fur weeka under   his scalpel, only to Inflict upou them more varied aud complieateil  tortures—such examples are terribly suggestive ; autl I could not help thinking that  bad I beeu a robber, I sbouid have beeu very loth  to ebtruit myself lo the tender mercies of my frieuil the professor, sup¬ posing his Iiower of destruction to he coiaiueneuralo Willi  his will.   Alter a pause be resumed:
" '-Well, I can't resist you,' said I lo the robber, asauniiug a look of terror such as I had not worn siuce I weut up for my first examination as acandidaie at Jetfa. ' I'll give you all I have, and v/hen you have lakcn it I hope you'll be satisfied and do me no furlber in¬ jury.'
"•Ob, I'll be satlsfled wheu I touch the money, never fear, old hoy,' ans¬ wered \»'. with a laugh. ' Come, out witb it quick !'¦
"' It'a in that bureau yonder,' re¬ plied I, throwing a key on the lable; 'help yourself.' ¦^,,
" I need not tell you, mien Herr, that iu the whole bnreau there \vas not asiugle;i/enji(^; but he went towards it to unlock it, which was all I wauted."
" Ah, you wauled to get a chance of striking him from behiud, I sup¬ pose'.'" said I, secretly marvelling at the alrategicabilily of this pacific mau of letters.
"Mein lieber Herr," returned the professor, with au air of grand con¬ tempt, suggestive of Socrates 'selliug ilown Pratagoras,' "scieuce does not fight wilh such coarae material means as tbe.se. I have told you tbat I re¬ garded Ibis man in the light of au ex¬ periment, aud I acted accordiugly. If you wish to know what was loy real object iu sendiug him to the bureau, slep forward aud press your heel upon that little knob in the floor."
I obeyed, and was not a little startled when a good square yard of tbe floor¬ ing immedialely iu front of the bureau gavo way witb a loud,-Whirling noise, disclosing a black chasm of unknown depth, from whieh arose the hoarse gurgle of ruuning water.
" Why you dou't mean to say ? "
faltered 1, glancing from the ghastly abyss below lo tbe benevolent face of the esvant, which looked milder and more benevolent than ever.
"Precisely so,"an8wered the professor with a genial smile, and rubbing his liltle fat hands Rleefully. "That's the Necker which you hear grumbling down yonder; but there was a good yard of dry pavement beside it for him
to fall upon, and It sufficed. Unhap pily tbe fall occasioned certuin injuries to his anatomical structure, which, however, my humble knowledge of surgery bas, as you see, enabled me to repair." (And he pointed to the pislol bearing skeleton with a complacent air.) "Why do you look shocked? it wasa fairtrial of skill agaiust strenglh. He, the man of brute force, attempted to entrai^ me, tbe man of science, and he was cought in his own trap. Fill your glass, my frienil," cried the prc- fcsaor.enthusiastically; "fill your glass aud let us drink to the great scieuliflc movement which has made Europe the first quarter of the world audJUermany the firat counlry iu Europe."
I filled my glass, wliich I did uot drink, but made some excuse, and gladly lelt ibc house.
IiADY IHVALIDS PEEFEHEED, WHY!
In the daysof our grandmothers, good health was the rule and "nervous de¬ bility" tbeexceptiou; but the race seems lo be sadly degenerated now. Of couise there are reasous for this, antl, perhaps, one of the most promiueut is, the pre¬ vailing idea that a delicaie, feeble wo¬ man is far prettier than one who pos¬ sesses a rational I'liir of lungs, and a liver tbat is disposed lo tlo its duty. Mankind looks wilb admiration upou a liltle pale bundle of unstrung uerves, antl are very careful lesta breath of air sbouid strike lhe prelly creature, or ex¬ haust her strength by picking up her handkerchief; while lhey take it for granted that a healthy girl is abundantly able to lake care of herself. Nobody nollcea the difference more than the girls themselvea. So i-lhepalegirl industriously drinks viue¬ gar and eats magnesia, and uses what strength she boa in ilrawing her coraet atriuga tigbler, for fear an extra ounce of fieaii will take up ils abode between her half developed boues and the sur¬ face.
After awhile some great, strong fel¬ low marritis her, bacause sbe is so deli¬ cate anil pretty, and the wise ones talk knowingly about the "afflnitics ofop- posilcs," and sentimentally about the "ivy aod the oak."
Perhaps it neveroccurred to them that however pretty the ivy may be iu its twiniiii;teuilcncies, it issuredealli luthe oak tbat .so gallaully i-uppoita it. A good, strong liee will stand the ivj business for yeara; but the insidioua climber keeps the surface damp while decay underlies lhe*flouiishing leaves and slowly cats its way to the heart of the oak.
Nevertheless, the ligure is often a true onc.iud mauy aman iiaa fallen a victim to bis wife's uervou.shess anil delicacy. No mailer how severe may be theduily tax upon hia energies, no matter il ruin looks him iu the face and lingers arouud his hearthstoiic, ht has no companion lo whom he can confide bis Irtiubles, no- partner that is able lo counsel with him in the hour of trial. Suppose tbat he dared go home and lell his feeble wife candidly of his fiuaacial condition, her brain is too wc.ik for counsel, her heart too feeble for sympathy, and ber iiauds too frail to render asaiataiice, so she can only sigli and moan over their misfor¬ tunes, and render sleeidess tbe few hours tbat might otherwise briug him a little rest.
Many a man haa broken dowu under 1 the double presisnrn thus imposed, wbo would have anchored safely be¬ yond tbe storms ifhe hud ono brain that could work with iiis, one brave heart that would look cheerfully into the slorm, one pair of willing liands tbateould make contentment dwell evea in the .shadow of adversity.
But when a man is smitten wilh a delicaie face and a while hand, it ia no use to lell him that this creature can never be a ¦woman iu.lhe truest and noblest sense of the word; that a weak body can neversupport au active brain; tbat a disordered liver is not coudueive to amiability, or that weak lungs are transmilled looflsprins. His euthusi- aani admits of-no physiological tests, aud be is not at present intereated in the health of posterity.
It is the frail, delicate lady that is tenderly caretl for and waited uiion. It ia for her benefit that trips are planned, not only lo Europe and the watering places, but to the picture rocks of Lake Superior and the garden scenes of Yo- Semlle and the Sierras. Neverthe- leas, healthy women are a ne¬ cessity tn the world ; they are | a wonderful couv""i9BOo ami -what the siek ouea would do wiihout them remains an open quesiion. Who would sit up niglils wilh their poor babies suffering for the sins of their l>areul8? Who could they call upon lo do. their thinking for.lhem, lo soothe their nerves and nurae theiii back to life when medicine faila and husbands finally get disgusted ?
And yet tbe world geuerally, and lbe feeble ones iu particular, bave very little symp.ilhy for a womau who pre¬ sents 0 healthy appearance. Peojile seem to forget Ihat lhey are human, or have any uf the aches and pains that mortals ure heir lo. If one of them ventures to remark Ihatshe feela poorly, she is usually met with un indifferent smile, and tbe reply that abe " looks feeble," meaning of course tbat a rosy cheek is proof againat pain. Jt she ventures to remonstrate against the burdens placed upon her by ber family and ueighbors she is met by tbe sime irony, and learns that she "looks like a woman wbo is very much abused." So that it is not ouly in her own family that she must have the caie, the uuraiug and the watching to do, but If a neighbor is sick they send foe her whelher it rains or snows, be¬ cause "»lie ia healthy aud so gootl in sickuess."
I remember one broiling hot day in midsummer, of hearing a liltle, pulty- faoed female ask a rosy-cheeked woman, if the heat debilitated her any. The lady replied tbat ahe felt the force of such wealher as we had beeu having.
" Indeed!" languidly responded pul- ty-facc; "3'OU look so kealthi/ liiat I didn't thiuk you felt the heat."
And yet this same liltle femalo will driuk more slroug tea and cofl'ee than her healthy neigh bor would ilaie look at. Sbe can go to parties uearly every night in the week, und sit up lill afier midnight in tight corsels and balf- dresseil feet, then eat rich suppers, and hearty ones, too ; but these thiugs do not make her sick, that is, no sicker lhan she always was, bnt sbe never saw the lime when she was able to take care of one of lier cliiidren when sick, or look afler the wel¬ fare of a well one. When she dies her friends will probably claim Ihat "she had loo much brain for her body," whereas, if she had brains enough for a respeclable chicken, she would Avhistle her little helpless body up to some sense of physiological pro¬ priety.
Our bilious and dyspepticlarty frieuds are at liberty to make up facea over this article; they may sputter and spit over it for B week if they choose, but we do lake the position, that one-half of their
ills are of their own making. Thattbere are thrae whoaresick, and can't help it, we do not deny-^we acctifd'them our sympathy and care, onr handa untl hearta are open to tbem ami tbeir needs; but weare not wriliug about them now. We meau tbose who have dwarfed their bodies by in¬ dolence, and their minds by novel readiug ; who have cimpressed their luuga with tight coiseiis, and dis¬ torted their spines with heavy skirls and enormous chignons ; wbo have ru¬ iued their stomachs with rich food aud paralyzed their livers wiili calomel; who are lilerally all'ectctl wilh enlarged spleens to such au extent that tbey are uearl3' all spleen; who have ahalteied their uerves wilh late houra, and tbeir moral sense by enlarging oxion tiieir sufferings. These are tbe women we meau, anil their name is legion, who now appeal to ua for aid and synipathj', because, for- aoolh, they are aick. Yes, you are sick, and you deserve lo be; if you were uot It ugher than owls you would have been dead yeara ago. No healthy woman could live througb half of what you have; but dou't you liome to ua for sympathy un¬ less you have sense enough lo loosen your corsels au'd lo dress yonr feet; to eut plain food and go to bed at decent hours, and get upiu the morning iur atead of waiting till noon. We mean all that auil more; we mean for you lo breathe the fresh air anil lake exercise out of doors instead of in the ball-room; take a general bath once a week aud let lhe doc¬ tors alone. Rest assured, if you put a liniment on every ache, a blister on every paiu, and take a dose of some¬ thing every lime your stomach enters a protest, your abused bodies will avenge themselves. Go out aud work in the garden ; It wont hurt you a bit; nuDiiose it does soil your hands, dou't you kuow tnat you were matle of tUe dust of lbe earth iu Ihefliat place'?
If you live like rational beiuga you will be fit for wivea aud fit for mothers. Ytm need uot gngroaniug and whining through the world uulesa you choose it.
And you, geullemen, let me give you a bit of abvice about curing them. Don't ailmire a girl with consumptive lendehcies and bilious attacks; let them know that men in this bu.sy age ueed healthy wives, aud that nineteen womeii out of every tweuty tan be heallby If they will. Wheu you choose a wife take a well one, iusteuil of a walking drugstore that bad lo be flnished off* by a ilressmaker lo muke her eveu look like a womau.
Jtest assured, tbat ifit were a dis¬ grace tu be sick and men sought only healthy wives, the race would greatly improve thenext generalioii ;.for wo meu would atudy anatomy Instead of fashion pla'.es, and hi'gieue iustead of Ifreuch; tbey would praciice f.ominon- -sense iustead of bail-room etbuis, antl patronize horllculLure instead of em¬ broidery.
Then, indeed, tbe race would be bet¬ ter both phyaioaily .md meutally; divorces would bea larc commodity, and )"'eace would leigii at many'a hearthstone where il i-, now a stranger. —Science of Health

Owing to tbe rough nature of the ground, covered with hugo rocks and trees, these eaves are nol readily accessible from below, but ou the blufla very easy provision could be made for affording excursion parties a sight of their wonders without any such clambering as we were compelled to undergo. In time, these eaves will be eousitlered one of the grealeat wou¬ dera ofthe Point.
Beginning at a point several huu¬ dred yards soulh of iheMounlaiu house, the parly found a nearly perpendicular opening inlo the bluff, down which streamy sunlight revcaictl gloomy and mysterious cavernous deiiths. This was descended with considerable difii- culty, wbeu, at a deplh of 100 feet below the surface, the cave was fountl to opeu in several directions, extending one wny in agiiliery several hundred feetin lenglh. The widtb wasseveral feet, the walls rising perpendicularly uearly to the surface, wliere they close iu, except atlnfiequent placpa holding at timea immenso bonlilera in their rocky jaws. Into the depth and gloom of thia gal¬ lery we followed our guide until fur¬ ther progreaa waa barretl by a deep pit extending down toward the bowels of the earlh directly acroaa the bottom of the cave. The streaming sunlight, however, showed an exit a few hun¬ dred feet distant.
A pistol fireii in this cavern sent the reverberating echoes rebounding aloug the rocky walls. From tlie deepest portion of tbe cave .converantion waa held with one of the party thiough a amall opening iu the top. A small quantity of ice waa fouud in tbe cave. Two or three other large caves were explored wiihout flnding more iee. Finally an opening waa found Ihrough wbich ascended a heavy miat, resem¬ bling smoke. A long and deep cavern waa discovered, tbe floor of which waa completely paved with thick ice, smoolh and clear. Here a "slide" of seyeral huudred feet'waa aftbrded, and large chunka of ice broken off and brought out of the cave. In another cave large raassea of ice were covered with suow, ond the novel pleasure of a anow-ball in July enjoyed. Another cave had a trickling rill of ice water running through it, at which the ex¬ ploring party slopped aud refreshed themselves.-JSWenviWe Pi ess.

" Wait tin I show you a letter. Chip; here's thia one with a queer knot on the entl of it. Thut stands for gull, you tuke a'g'and a ' u'uud two'I'a' and that spella gull, it's real easy. Now you come here every morning early, and I'll give you a atart, ao you won't mind coralng by-aud-by wilh tbe other boya."
Thia waa the way that Euthle Boe coaxed the frieutlless boy lo learn hia lettera. Every morning, rain or sliine, he came stealing in aoftly, with one hantl clutching hia cap, and the other trying to smooth down the yeliovv' locks that would curl and tvviat in away of their own. It was a pretty sight to see the little inakteu with her wiae look as she pointed lo the letlers one by one, saying over and over the fapill- iar sounds until Chip began to master theseveral combinations.
At fli-st Chip ran timidly away as soou as any of the scholars came ; but little by little he grev accustomed to them, and they lo him, and sometimes Ruthie would have quite a group of lis¬ teners around her aa she taught her one scholar bia lesson for the day.
But there camo a bright spring day when Chip did not make his appear-
counsel; Thereseemed no clue by which to flnd him, and as lhe days went by Buthie began to think he had fallen offthe dock. She missed her bright- eyed scholar and hia funny stories, but a week paaaetl without a sign of hia ap¬ pearance.
The next Sunday afternoon Rulhie's father weut to the hoaiiltal lo see a fel¬ low-workman who had been injured. Afler hia relurn he waa .apeakiug of the vuried painful aights of wouniletl and injured men, and pretty soon Buth laid down her book forshe lieard the uame of "Chip."
"(^ueer uame, wasn't it, Betsey?" he was sayiug lo his wife-" that's all the name anybody knowa."
"Wbat happened to Chip, father?" and in a moment Kuth atood beaide hira.
"What do you know about Chip, daughter?" said ber faiher turning arouud to look with wonder at her car- beat face. "He was only a poor little loafer from the docks who got cut ou the head with a iiiece of timber ; they were briuging him into a larger room as I passed oul."
"O fullier, why! he'.'s iny scholar;' aud then she told of her effort to help the potir lad.. " And I must go uml see him ; you'll tako me, wont j on !"
"Why, Rulh, he wont 1-now you; he's lalkin'all kind o'gihbeiish now. Ycu t..tn go Willi JOUI le.tcher to-nior row and see Joui sclioLu."

DEATH OF A F0E3IIEE SLAVE.
The Albany Argus tells thefollow¬ ing story of a colored man who died in in thut city a few tlays since, and was burled by the hand of charity: " Old Uucle Juke " died in a buck room over u stable in one of tbe alleys on the hill. Some friends bought hlui a plaiu coHin, aud had him buried quietly. No paper announced his tleath, nutl tbe unfeeling ueighbors said they " were glad the'old nigger'was goue." Be¬ neath the dark exterior aud repulsive form of that old man was a heart ns true in its sympathy and a conscience aa pure iu its motives as ever graced the human form. A diamond of the purest water, passing unnoticed through earth to lla.sh resplendent in the Master's crowu hereafter.
Oue dreary uight in September, a eompany of the Fourteenth Vermont infantry was on picket dnty In a pine swamp uear JTewbei'O, North Carolina, wheu Uncle Jake came into the lines at the risk of his life to tell that a large force of rebels would gobble them up that night. On this information the company were deployed as skirmishers, aud about midnight came in contact with the enemy aod drove them back iu great astouishment to flnd tbe Yan¬ kees ready to meet them. A few weeks later the captain nud two sergeants of

Who¬ ever knows lhe harmless and unobtru¬ sive  religious  family  wiil  uot  deny it the credit which il deserves, notonly forspreatling Chtisliauily in  uncivil¬ ized countries, but also for the good it otherwise doea by industry and example of kind feeling and religious life.
