TIE SPIRIT OF '76.-A few days since, gentle
man on the Aqua Greek boat met with a soldier
named D. S, Thompson, belonging to one of the
Massachusetts, regiments, and having heard that he
had three sons killed before Richmond, asked him
if such was the case. The soldier replied: ssNo,
sir not three, but four had three boys killed at
Fair Oaks, and one atMalvern Hill; but thank God,
they did not die the death of towards. have
one boy of sixteen stil left in the army and now
am on my way home, having received my dis
charge, without asking for it, but as soon as can
settle my business mean to return to the army
with my remaining boy, and stay to the end of the
war. That boy made narrow escape at Malvern
Hill, but is now safe, and am willing that he
should die for his country Unnecessary"

q WHAT THE SOLDIERS WANr-The July number
of Halls Journal of Health contains the following
excellent advice to those who are writing to SOL
der in the army: h..f.-. 81.
elf you write to soldier, friend or relative In
the army, using q common envelope and sheet OF
foolscap paper, you may also add without exceed
ing the weight for which a three cent postage
stamp will pay, as much tea as teaspoon will take
up twice, or as much black or cayenne pepper,
such as is obtained from good drug store under
the name of &c Capsicum," as you can take up at
once with common teaspoon, and the smaller
envelope of small paper to hold either. Chewing
the tea, pinch at time, every hour or halt hour,
while keeping guard, or under circumstances Of
great thirst or of excessive WEAKNESS or sleepness
will enven, viii modify thirst, win invigorate, or
will waken up to grateful extent considering the
amount of tea used, and its perfect safety from
ulterior i'll results, such as follow the use of aco-
holic drinks.
But teaspoonful Of genuine Capsicum is worth
ten-fold its weight of tealeayes, especially in sum-
mer in many ways for example, single quarter
of a pinch will save q mans ife-that quarter of
pinch being put in sleepy sentinePs eye. fit
don't waken him up, and everybody else within
an Indian yeps distance, than it is not prime ar
ticle of capsicum A single pinch in glass Of fiat
or warmish water, will nullfy these qualities, and
besides satisfying thirst, will nyigorate and efec-
tually prevent that uncomfortable sensation arising
from having drank largely ofwater. Agood pinch,
eaten at each meal, or whenever cup Of coffee
or tea or water is swallowed, viii always invigor
ate digestion, aids to prevent acidity, and is,
besides, great antagonist of the diarrhea, dys-
entery, fux and " looseness-" which are the great
scourges of all armies A level teaspoon ofcap-
sicum daily, taken in eating drinking, or both,
or taken pinch at atme during the day or night
would do more real good, and that without any i'll
results, than ten times the cost in or quinine
as a preventive against chills and fever.
Liquor and quinine initiate the soldier into in
temperate habits they will wake up love, era
