Sergeant Coles Adventures.

Sergeant Nelson Cole of Brattleboro, be-
! longing to company {, Second Vermont
regiment, has an exciting story of per-
sonai escapes to tell. A companion had
: been shot in the ankle, shattering the bone,
and Sergeant Cole was assisting him to the
hospital when the retreat from Bull Run took
place. Finding the enemy upon them, his
companion begged him to leave him and take
care of himself. He hel ped his comrade to a
sheltered place, and took to the woods for
safety. Emerging from his shelter after
long run, he found himself in the midst of
the enemy, who fired upon him, leaping the
fences he ran couple hundred yards through
the open ground under Il shower of balls, and
again succeeded in reaching the woods, but
was subsequently discovered and captured.
While on their way to the secesh camp, they
passed the hospital, when Cole begged TO be
allowed to get his coat. This was granted
and Cole sent to get it. Finding the rear
unsuarded he passed through the back win
dow and again took 10 the woods. He sue
ceeded in eluding his pursuers, and after
weary travel found himself nearly famished
in the vicinity of mill. An elderly lady was
the only person about, her son being an Off
Ger in the rebel army. She gave him food,
and hat and pair O. pants belonging TO her
son. In this disguise he passed for Virgin
ian. AID although three times stopped, sue
ceeded in reaching the vicinity OF Leesburgh,
where he sought shelter for the night. The
people (femalesl protessed themselves Union
people, and he told them his story. After
retiring, he heard conversation going on.

send for some neighbors. and seize the "abo-

enough that one man will live like a prince upon
thirty shIllings a week and another like a beggar
on sixty Management i all, and that kind Of
management which Will make the poor mans
home happy, and with all its disadvantages en-
able il u contrast favorably with the public
house, is not arrived ut without much study.
The number Of meals in which the wcll-led
classes indulge i too large. One 1T least could
b. dispensed with, and that one should be lunch
con. The great sportsman who wrote under the
maine Of =. NimrOG' was for limiting the meals Of
young men 10 twO-a good breakfast and I good
dinner; and this rule might be well adhered 70
for people IL health. An adult IN full health,
writes an authority. requires two meals daily,
and often. without prejudices, partakes Of two
more. Women who are more delIcately organ
izei, eat sparingly. and require three meals in a
day. Modern civilization seems 70 require that
people should not be- too long without eating.
Herbert Mayo gives nine hours. \ person, says
he, who breakfasts at nine, should not dine later
than SIX. But other eminent physicians have re-
commended their patients to eat little and often,
- a. not 10 put the stomach 10 too great 4 task
in providing gastric juice for digestion.
Hot supTers are most unwhJlesOme, because
the meat j. not d;gested before sleep dreams and
nocturnal disturbances are the consequence. Du-
ring eating, strong mental excitement should be
avoided. When at meals, the motto, =. Age quot
GT7S' Is as applicable as at any piece Of work.
DO what you are about, and do IL well. Think
Of eating and mastieating throw your mind into
the matter. Nothing can be worse than for the
town man to stick a newspaper or an exciting
novel against Il cruet frame, and read as he eats.
This way partaking of toast and sentiment, and
swallowing hot tea and strong politics, l. decid-
edly injurious.
Lastly, temperance and soberness can not be
more strongly inculcated by the divine than they
are by the doctor. There is not one eminent
man who has written for years, who has not
traced more than half the diseases Of humanity
To- the gOrging prOpensities of man. At a good
school u little fellow who deyOurs his tarts in
secret, or who makes too much of his school
treats, gets marked down as Il glutton. and is
treated accordingly. One excess is a. bad AZ
every meal which i superfiuOus Is q
sin it Is a sin against that bOuntiful Providence
which supplies enough for all, but too much for
none. That man who eats enough for two, rOhs
one; and punishment most surely follows. If
wish to see how odious gluttnny and excess
to 4 highly intellectual mind, we have only
to read that passage in Dante's great work,
wherein gluttnns are punished and moreover,
u remember the feast Of Dives and the starvI-
ton of Lazarus and then we shall EAT To LIVE
and not LIVE TO h,T.-LoHdoH Family HcrGid.

NUMBER OF THE HUMAN RACE.-It is
strange and must be regretted, that au-
thorities should differ so widely as to the
population of the globe. Strange, because
excepting Africa, the number of human be-
ings on each continent is known with toll
cradle closeness. 1t is a matter of regret,
because the philanthropist as we'll as the
student is puzzled by so large discrepancies.
A few years since the received estimate
was that of Hassel, giving the world about
6S0,0000 900 inhabitants. A popular geo.
graphy now before US fixes them at 86l,-
100000, assigning to Asia about 456, ,000,-
600, or but little more than China alone is
believed by all the foreign embassies to
possess. The old, nice-looking figures of
333, ,OO00 900 they discard as far below the
truth, and take the last Chinese census as
substantially correct. Some of the geogra-
phies, too, give Europe but $4,000, 900, while
others swell to 10000, 900 and to America
but S. 100000, when it is undoubtedly TO-,
100000. Meantime the american almanac,
generally reputed high authority, estimates
mankind at form l, 1,162,O000OO to 1902
000, ,O00; according to what number, be-
tween 600o0,000 and 00,O00,000 shall be
allowed to Africa. All late explorers find
Afria much more populous than had been
supposed; and it has probably over 100000
900 inhabitants, as dark mostly in mind as
in ncolor-PhiLadelphia Inquirer.
