U-PThe day, ilumned by tho bright and
ment, with tscord and all the exhibition of
the passions and the strife ol man, has its pc
cuiar in1uerce on the mind. Day n iIsef is
emblematic Of the warfare Of existence it
enlivenS the spirit, it cheers the heart. il is
in all respects the extreme opposite Of the 9th.
er division Of the twenty-four hours o! time.
Night is beautiful in itself, bat still more beau
uful in associations ii far surpasses all that
apparlain, 10 ,hc Day. II is not linked as
day Is, with our cares and our tolls the busi-
ness aud the bitterness Of life. The sunshine,
as we said before, brings with it actiU1 we
rise in The morning, and our task is before Us,
and night comes, and with it rest. If wc
leave sleep, and ask not for dreams u forget
fulness, our waking is IN solitude, and our
employment is thought, Imagination has
thrown her gorles around mlduieit, the
orbs Cf heaven, tie silence, the shadows, the
moonlight, are all stepped in sacred poetry
which breaihos a calm to the troubled suH'.--
Even in The heart Of Il crowded city, W ere

ANOTHER AND ANOTHER GALLANT SOLDIER
HAS BEEN STRICKEN DowN.-lt becomes our
painful duty to chronicle the death (of the
prevailing epidem'c) Of an associate Of ours in
the Florida campaigns.
Brevet Major &. h. Gates, Of the 9th In.

burgh, where he Was stationed. on the 2s,h

gallant and promising young officer. lie

in some Of the severesl actions during the
la,e war.
He was one OF West Points bright grad
yates; he left that valuable institution with
great credit 10 himself in 1886, and soon ai-
ter he graduated joined the 4th infantry in
Florida.
About 1887 or S3S the 9Th Regiment
was added to the army. and the late Gen.
Worth placed in command Of it, into
which young Gates was promoted. In
3o the regiment was ordered to the
northern frontier of this State TO watch
events there, from thence back to Flori-
da, and the gallant Colonel thereof charg-
cd with the prosecution of hostilties to
the termination Of the war, which he,
steadily accomplished. During the whole
of this time young Gates served with
grca, energy and distinction. lie re-
mained with his command in Florida up,
to 1915, when he accompanied his regi-I
ment TO Corpus Christi, the place desig-I
mated for the concentration Of the United
States forces designed to act agains,

en- to tie last resort in settling affairs
with that nation. The 9Th formed con-

equal in point Of military talent and gal

activity and zeal on the part Of the SOL

Common Council promptly made pfovls-

/ MAKgNG Love TO THE WEONG Pm
soN.-A Cincinnati paper IS responsible
Tor the following
4 A young gentleman who had been
paying his addresses in proprio persona
to young lady in this city, left a few
months ago and went down the river on
business. A correspondence was imme-
dIaicly opened between the enamOred
par, and after exchanging several letters,
the young lady was mortified o find that
Ter letters were unanswered, and conse-
quently she ceased writing. But the
real secret of her not receiving letters
! was The fact tha, another lady Of the same
name, supposing they were intended for
her, took them from the post Office and
opened a correspondence with her proxy
lover. Some two months passed away,
wien the young man wound up by a de
rect proposal and insisted on an immedi-
ate answer, ayerring at the same time
that he thought the tone Of her letters
very different from those received when
he first left Cincinnati, and upbraided
his taIr love with Inconsistency. This last
Iepiste was too much for our romantic
lncognito, and being conscience-smitten
for the part she had been acting, and fuI-
/ Iy persuaded that some other lady had
been plniDg for the man she was wooing.
'Sough, he! ont and delivered up the let
tiers to their rightfuI owner. The mat
ter was speedily arranged, and the real
lovers have since become uniipd in the
bands of wedIock.

A LITERALlsT OR A JoKER.--We see par
agraph going the rounds, to the effect that
the Bishop Of Oxford, having sent round to
TIE churchwardens in his diocese a circular Of
inquiries, among which was:
" Docs your officiating clergyman preach
The gospel, and are his conversation and car
rage consistent herewith :"
The churchwarden near Walingford replied,
" He breaches the gospel, but does moi keep a
carriage.
The costume fhis Majesty, the King
Of the Mosquitoes, is said to be an I'M
mensely long pair of rusty Spanish spurs
on his heels, and red sash about his
waist. Sometimes he emhelIshes the
upper part of his person with a cast-oll'
'grenadiers coat, but it is very seldom
that he permits Of any addition to the
sash and spurs. Upon these premises the
Detroit Advertiser remarks " Whether
King Musquito represents his court by
minister at the Palace o. ST. James we
are not informed; if so. we only hope
that his diplomatic agent does not appear
in the presence, wearing the costume of
his country"

LAMARTINE INSANE.-M. = uiii'd'-
Diet writes as follows, to the Courier des
E,a,s. His letter is dated Paris, Aug.
l6 -
Last week NJ. de Lamarline had as.
sembled at his table several intimate
friends, before leaving for the Cote dor,
where he has offered for sale his paternal
estate, which fortune does not permit hm
to retain. The author Of the "Giron-
dists" seemed absent-minded, but tins sad
prc-occupation was easily attributed to
the hard extremity to which he was re-
duced, and the physical pains caused by
an acute rheumatism which has prevent
ed his appearance at the National AS
sembly since his election.
The illustrious invalid took soup with
his guests, and then caused himself TO be
served with it three times more IN sue
cession, as if he had taken nothing at all.
After that, during the whole repast he
wore a sad and dreamy air, and touched
nothing until plate Of marlngues la
creme was placed under his eye. AT the
sight of this dainty his brow cleared, and
he drew the plate toward him, examined
i. with a look of appetite, and then sud-
denly began to rub his hands with the
cream, and Iathered his whole face with
It. This act of arrangement struck with
stupor the guests and his fearful wife,
who Instantly rendered all possible care
10 the sufferer.
A physician was called. and all present
were besought to keep secret what alter
all may only prove to be accidental and
temporal alteration. But is a secre
possible now.a-daysi This one has got
out like all the rest, In spite of the re-
spcctabiHty of the drawing rooms III
which gathered the report prefer to
doubt its authenticity. The insanity o
Lamarline would not only be mslor
tune, but sort of dshonor for entire hu
manity, struck in one Of its most admlra
ble illustrations. Every intelligence
would incline to mistrust itself, and
would feel itself in some SORT shaken by
the fall Of Lamartine.
