The Iowa Second has gone to St. Louis
to recruit, having suffered severely from
sickness. Our regiment presents the best
sanitary record Of any here, owing in
great measure to the untiring efforts of our
skillful surgeon, and the constant watchful-

armed, clothed, and equipped, and last week
we received pay for our first two months

Have these always on hand, happiness will

business after breakfast, lounge little after
dinner, chat after tea, and kiss after quar-

Why THE DYING NEVER WEEP.-Thcrs rsa.
son why the dying never weep Is because
the manufactures of life stop forever the
human system has ceased its functions. In
all diseases, the liver is the very 6rst organ
that ceases to work-onc by one the others
follow, and all the fountains Of life are at
length dried up; there is no sensation. So
the eye in death weeps not, not that aiIss

are no tear drops on it any more than Ae,S

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.--It has been tleci-
dcd by Gen. Butler and Schouler, after a
very careful investigation, that a soldier is
holden from the time Of his signing his
name to the enlistment roll, just as truly
as though he was Sworn in;' and persons
who have enlisted and left the service with.
out proper discharge, are to be considered
deserters, whether they have been sworn
in or not.

And drifts Ger the gardsr wall.
