indian Summer Of Life.

In the life Of the good man there IS az
Indian summer more beautiful than that os
the seasons: richer, suunef and More sub
lime than the Most glorious Indian summer
which the world knew-it IS The Indian
summer Of the soul. When the glow of
youth has departed, when the warmth Of
middle age is gone, and The buds and bios
SONS Of spring are changing 20 the scrc and
yellow lcaf, then the mind of the good man,
still ripe and slgcrons, rchxes its lahors
and the memories Of a well-spcnt fife eusif
forth from their secret fountsins, enriching.
rejoicing and feriilizing; then the trustfuI
resignation of the Christian sheds around q
sweet and holy warmth, and the soul, assu-
ming a heavenly lusier, is no longer restrict
ed 10 the NARROW confines of business, but
scars far beyond The winter of hoary age,
and dwells peacefully and happily upon
that bright spring and summer which
await him within the gates of Paradise,
eyermore. Let US strive for and look trust
fully forward to ard Indian summer like
this.

"STARING" AT LADIEs.-It is absolute
" sheer impertinence, and win pass for
nothing else; and it is peculiarly annoying
to ladies Of delicacy anc rcfnement-in-
deed there are very few who win treat with
any consideration canvassing committee
Of eyes. Some people blush suddenly and
painfully, and the consciousness of their ro-
sy hue makes them act unsracefully, even
if they are habituaIly self possessed. To
such, the cool starer is an object Of great
dread. A quick, searching glance is suili-
cient to impress upon the memory whatever
is striking or lovely in the human face di=
vine. The eye naturally feas.s upon beau-

return to it at intervals, but it should be on
ly al intervals. A broad stare is coarse; a
steady stare unrefned--but an occasional,
respectful glance, even if it be very fire.

How the Soldiers BiyOuack.

The life of a soldier is most arduous and
varied in the way of COMFORTS and it requires
a patient and cheerful spirit and an iron
constitution TO endure its iatigues. A sol
der in the Massachusetts, ID Regiment writ.
ing to the Boston Journal says -
We are now trying bivouacking as VIC
have done it up about two weeks, we fancy
we know all about it and that no body can
tell US much about this sort of thing. And
as you may not know al about this style oi
life, and as the word sounds so inviting in
French and may misled, we hasten TO ex-
plain in detail. Hapria,is we sleep on the
ground Cor try toy, the solid mother earth
those who are iastidious add a few pine
boughs which make themselves felt by their
stems in the early part of the night. We
build booths toshelter ourselves from the sun
and dew, and few other things that we are
now about enough for; and these booths,
after about three days exposure look very
much as those counterparts in the rural dis
trict at home where we had 4th of July
picnics--used to the following week-and
accomplish the purpose about as well. We
have lots of ventilation, and know the night
air as we do our brother. And then, how
ever attractive at other times, what delicious
thing bivouacking is when ii rains We
crawl up under the frail leaves, which prom
ise to protect us, but, alas break the word
of promise to our hopes, and all at once the
big drops patter down and all the accumula-
ted water-every drop of it-pours down
upon US till we are wet as drownded rats.
Another thing we notice about this country
lit commonly rains at night and at the
wiichng hour Of II z. NJ. you who are biv-
ouacking under these d-cei,ful boushs wake
up with perfect food pouring down all
over you in all possible spots. 1t is so dark
you cannot see a hand before you, and take
and think meekly of such and such houses
in Boston where you did not have such
suffering. You scramble Up sll the rubber
blankets and things that she'd water BY pa
tent, but somehow or other il IS no go, and
water triumphs, or il may stop raining after
you have made all your arrangements, and
just as you are in the lat browse down comes
an immense great drop and strikes you pat
in the eye; directly another iills up your ear.
In the morning when you crawl out at re-
vile with not a dry thread abonl you, it IS
50 refreshing to think that those are the

HIPPoPoTAMCs FIGHT.--M. du Chaillu,
in his work on his African Explorations,
gives the following account of fight be-
tween two hippopotami which he witness
sed -
They are very combatiye among them
selves, and bear marks on their bodies of
desperate conflicts. The young
males suffer particularly 10 these encounters.
as they are much imposed upon by the
grown males, who are jealous of them. 1t
was my good fortune once to be witness to
combat between two hippopoiami 1t oc-

on the bank of the stream, and had been
for some time watching the sports of a herd,
when suddenly two huge beasts rose to the
surface of the water and rushed together.
Their vast and hideous mouths we're opened
TO their widest extent, their eyes were fam
ing with rage. and every power was put
forth by each to annihilate each other.-
They seized each other with their jaws;
they stabbed and punched with their long
tusks; they advanced and retreated; were
now at The top of the water, and again sank
down to the bottom. Their blood discoIored
the river, and their eroans Of rage were
hideous to listen to. They showed little
powers Of strategy, but rather a piggish OBJ
stinacy in maintaining their ground, and a
frighiful sayageness of demcanor. The
contest lasted an hour. 1t was evident that
their iusks could not give very dangerous
wounds to such thickly protected bodies as
iheiis. At last one turned about and made

AN AFFECTING INciDENr-Thc Bos-

ing incident that win make the hardest heart
tender and the dryest eyes moist, if ii does

"We witnessed an affecting scene The 9TH
er day, bringing home forcibly the miserics
inflicted by war. At country railroad
station, among the passengers waiting was
a lady dressed in black holding a pretty girl
about three years of age in her arms. AS
the train stopped, she unwound the little
pratter's arms from her neck and resigned
her TO young woman who stood near her,
saying, ''Good bye, Mary; be a good girl
till grandma comes" The little one, how
ever, with sorrcwful blue eyes, insisted on
kissing grandma once more, and according
ly was held up 70 the car window for thai
purpose, when she said, 'Good bye. grand
mar" This was to much for the old lady;
who burst into tears rs the cars bore her
away from the little one. "You will excuse
me, sir" said she to her neighbor, "but she
is the dartar Of my only son he was killed
afortnight ago, and she hasen'tany mother
There was not heart that did not respect

A PATRIOTIC NAP.-Day before yes
terday, as the story goes, - Church, and
most ardent Union man, attended divine
worship, according to his invariable custom;
but the weather being warm and oppressive,
the worthy citizen fell asleep in his pew
during the early part Of the service.
He slumbered quite pleasantly, and just
before the sermon began the choir and COM
gregation sang patriotic hymn, that filed
the sleeper's mind with a love of country
that could not be resisted. The text was,
"And what think ye of Christ 2" repeated
emphatieally several times by the minister.
This appeal to the slumberer was too di-
rect, and his thoughts becoming confused
in his half wakeful, half dreaming state. he
forgot where he was and the exact nature
of the question, and responded SO loudly
and distinctly that he could be heard
through half the church -
"Think think and know he is all
right; he's for the Union ali the time p
The effect Of this unexpected and alto.
gether secular utterance upon the pious
brothers and sisters may be better fancied
than related.
