VERY GooD--One night last week a
gentleman accompanied by his wife, went
to see the everlasting "Seven Sisters" at
Laura Keen's Theatre in New York. The
attendance was not large that evening, and
the gentleman and his lady, who had come
in on the ordinary dali dollar ticket: helped
themselves to couple Of vacant orchestra
chairs. An usher came up and remarked
that those chairs were ''scueatyJios cents
apiece" ''Indeed!' replied the wag II
should say they were extremely cheap at
that; am not in the Furniture line, or by
Jove I'd buy 'em!" There was general
''snicker'' in that quarter. for moment
and the usher, who appreciated the joke,
''retirud in good ORDER" Gas the military
dispatches are accustomed to say,) and left
the occupants unmolested for the remain
der Of the evening.

There is very false notion in the world
respecting employment. thousands imag-
inc that, il they could live in idleness, they
would be perfectly happy. This is great
mistake. Every industrious man and woman
knows that nothing is so tresome as being
unemployed. During some seasons OF the
year We have holidays, and it is pleasing
on these occasions to see the operative en-
joy himself; but we have generally found
that after two or three days recreation, the
diligcnt mechanic or laborer becomes quite
unhappy. Often he sighs ovar the wretch.
edness Of being idle. The fact is, we are
made to labor, and our health, comfort and
happiness depend upon exertion. Whether
We look at our bodies or examine our
minds, everything tells US that our Creator
intended that we should be active. Hands,
feet, eyes and mental powers, show that we
were born to be busy. If we had been
made to be idle, a very large portion Of
our bodily and mental faculties would be
redundant.

A Romantic Story.

a ANOAhduSAC SSOEys
We heard romantic recital yesterday
from returning member of the Sth Regi.
ment, which is good enough to be true aud
is, at any rate creditable to the spirit of our
women. ltappears that the member Of the
Sth, who relates the story, was engaged to
be married just before he left and, Of course,
felt dreadfully bad at having to leave his
expected bride. The young soldier was
splendid looking volunteer, in the prime of
his youth, with broad shoulders, and the
face of an Apollo, and his bride that was to
be, was an equally fine specimen Of the 9TH
er sex, lacking only four inches of being as
tall as himself, and with her hair cropped
short, so as to show only few glossy black
ringletS, according to the present fashion,
now 20 much in vogue.
The lady did not say at the parting with
her lover, in SO many words, that she would
not be separated from him, but evidently
she so determined in her private mind
Accordingly, she attired herself in male
costume, and having all the appearance Of
a handsome boy Of eighteen, was accepted
as volunteer. Her naturally strong con.
stitution, and half musculine habits, carri. d
her through the campaign without discov-
cry, and although she was in the immediate
neighborhood Of her atfianced for weeks she
did not dare to discover herself to him, for
fear that he would, out Of consideration for
herself make her case known, and force her
to return. Not till the day arrived when
the term Of service Of the regiment expired,
did she dare to give way to her womanly
impulses, and falling in the arms Of her
lover, assure him Of the pluck and bravery
which shrunk at no exposure or hardship,
and proved the strength of her woman's de-
votion. So long as our Yankee girls exhibit
such bravery and endurance, surely We
should be recreants indeed did We show any
signs of receding in this struggle. Brook

Iowa Sd Reg, July goth, 1861
DEAR TINES Since last appeared to
you from Grand River bridge, our business
has partaken slightly Of the guerila-or
might say gorilla, in consideration Of the
affinity closely bearing upon the migratory
proclivities of this interesting class Of our
community somewhere located in the intc-
rior of Africa; for since We left our en-
campment at Grand River our tents have
not been pitched in pleasant places, but
on the low swamps and in the tall grass
on the outsquirts Of the thickly studded
prairie, and by the gentle railroad track !;
in most cases relieved by perfectly harm
less river or creek, the rude waters of which
might easily be cut into slices, with enough
to 60 around and plenty for another days
rations, and in every instance outrageous
ly festoOned with musquitos Of the most
rabid stripe, and other sweet scented briars
aud insects especially improvised for the
occasion. We were called from Grand
River at o'clock in the evening in a big
hurry, report coming that secessionists
were tearing up track and burning bridges
some seventy-five miles east of us. In
about fifteen minutes after orders, we had
struck our tents, packed up baggage and
were on the train moving rapidly to the
scene of action. The remnant of the Sd
regiment, with the exception of y detach-
ment left behind at Utica, were aboard
We arrived at Macon City in the morning,
the train having moved very cautiously;
but for some reasons best known to nobody
knows whom,-ss is always the case in this
business, where everybody knows nothing,
and nobody knows anything, excepting
few of the officers who know no more than
anybody else excepting the Col, and he
never saying anything,-we came to q stop
and quietly settled into state Of foggy un-
certainty, until about 2 o'clock P. NJ, when
we started. We were brought to stand
still, however, by the first demonstrations
of track tearing, and all alighted once more
to reach terra 6rna. This was near Salt
River, the bridge formerly crossing it hav-
ing been burned that day and the water
tank also, the ruins of which were smok-
ing when We crime up. News came here
that fighting was going on east Of us, SO
we received twenty rounds Of cartridges
apiece and started off through the brush on
quick time, taking with us our blankets,
but departing without scrip or scrippage,
grub or grubbage. A march Of thirteen
