DRFPLY ArFGICrFD.-Mrs. Wm.
G, Strong, Of Peru, bad the trial Of
giving up two sons TO serve the coun-
try as soldiers, in the early stages Of
the rebellion, one Of whom has died
Of disease in the Hospital, and the
other is prJaably still there, If alive.
When the last call came, her husband
enlisted, and is now in the army. Two
remaining sons she has just followed
to death and the grave, victims of Dip
iberia and now she is alone. Sure
" she must feel her need Of more
reliable support than an earthly one (;
a better Friend than any earthly
friends.

He claims that he can put the widest

Of the opinion that he can make good

never been rode before, were TO all

too, in regard TO vicious habits, such
as starting from umbrellas, &c.

Bravery of the Irish.

The earth has never shaken to the tread
of more splendid soldiery than the Irish
regiments in the British service since
Nimrod founded the earliest empire Of the
earth to the present hour. In both hemi-
spheres, and under every sky, Irishmen,
alike distinguished as combatants in the
ranks and as commanders at the head of
armies, have hewn their victorious way
across thousand battle fields, and in ev-
cry sea they have welded the thunder of
our floating bulwarks, and nobly sustain
ed the honor of our flag; and when our
armies have sustained an occasional re-
verse, it has been ascertained that ON at
least ono memorable day the fortune OF
the field was turned against us by the
prowess of expatriated Irishmen.-Aan-

The B1BLE-Dr. Hall, in his Journal of
Health, speaking Of the importance of in
habiting houses in their structure and sit
uation favorable to health, refers as fol-
lows to the Bible:
"There is more sound, practical hygiene
on the subject of healthy houses, in the
l4th chapter Of Leviticus, from verse 81,
than in all the skulls of the health COM
missioners and common councils in all
the cities of Christendom. Pity it is that
we do not read the Bible more, that great
book which contains the leading princi-
Piles of what is indisputably good and
useful, and true, in all-that really pertains
to human happiness and what pity it
is, that the Sunday newspaper, and the
trashy weekly, and the enticing story
book, for childhood and hoary age, on
subjects that pertain to the world and par
ty preaching, and infdel peripatetic lee
lectures, with their new tangled crudities
for human ameforation, and their theo
ries for elevating the masses pity it is,
we say, that all these things SO attract at
tention. The Bible, the best of all, the
wisest in all its theories, and in all its
practices safe, has become a sealed book
to the many; and any other book on the
centre Or side table would be opened soon
than it.

A Remarkable Incident.

Some time ago. private in the 18th
Indiana regiment was tried by court
martial for deserving his post, and found
gully, the punishment for which is death.
His execution was deferred for some time,
and he was kept in a painful state of sus
pense. At last the time was fixed for his
execution, and five regiments were drawn
up i'll line to witness it, while file of
twelve men were in advance to execute
the sentence of death by shooting him.
The prisoner was led forward blindfold-
ed, and the usual words of preparation
and command we're given in low measur-
ed tones by the officer in command. Du.
ring the interval between the commands,
''Take aim and fire" and before the
the last word was given, horseman rode
rapidly up the road, waving in the air a
paper. which was understood by all pree
ent to be reprieve. Covered with dust
and perspiration, he rode hurriedly up to
the officer in command and delivered to
him what really proved to be reprieve.
The shout ''reprieve" fell upon the poor
soldiers ear, which was already strained
to the utmost in anticipation of hearing
the last final word that was to usher his
soul into the presence of his Creator; it
was too much for him, and he fell back
upon his coffin, apparently dead. The
bandage was removed from his eyes, but
reason had taken its flight, and he was a
hopeless maniac. He was discharged
from the army and sent home to his friends.
His death had really never been intended,
but it was deemed necessary for the good
order and discipline of the army to make
an impression upon not only himself but
the whole brigade for that purpose, the
forms of the execution were regularly
gone through with, in presence of five
regiments, and the reprieve arrived in
good time, as it was intended, ,-PAizndez.

NOTHING TO DO.

Miss Molina N. Moran was hearty and hale,
Yet wished tc be slender. and languid and pale,
SO defiaud,d her stomach of what Vas its due,
Aud cheated her muscles Of exercise too.
She dipped in the goblet her fingers SO rare,
And wiped their tip ends with delicate air.
Then crossed ler white hands on her hoop be-
spread lap,
Too inert to converse and too vain for nap,
For still twas her aim, in attracting the view
70 ,on vince all benolders she'd IN othing to Do
Miss lula de Scamper was agile and bright,
Her step like the queen of fafies Was light
So her feet for the sloth Of her hands made a.
mends,
And she took for her calling to call on her
friends.
At all seasons and times she saluted their view,
Though tLey might be busy, she'd Nothing to Do
Bnt plenty Of small talk all around her 20 fling,
30 she babbled away like brooklet in spring,
Hanging up a slain hour as she went from the
door,
Alas for such t-ophi.s when time is no more
Mis-. Cclestia Fitz Mackrel would dawdle away
Over crotchet and worsted, and novel and play,
She sorted her colors with an accurate eye,
But let her poor mothers wan features go by.
Who. wo,n half to death with her family care,
Found nothing like help from her daughter and
heir.
The getting of dinners the toll and the stir
Of such vulgar pursuits were disgusting to her;
And thus to her nondescript creed she was true,
The mother might fall, but she'd Nothing to Do.
O, young men, my masters, who dream with de-
light
OF home Of your own, which no discord cHn
blight,
Where the roses Of Eden from fading exempt,
And an Eve whom coutraband Pple can tempt,
Where the wheels of good order like clock x
will move,
And babies we'll trained, bring an ocean of love;
Where prudence with smiles Of endearment shall
glow,
And wealth hand in hand, with economy grow;
I'd fain sound trumpet and bid you beware,
Of uulcksands beneath, though the surface seems
fair;
Avoid, like the upas, with poisonous dew,
Those exquisite ladies, who've Nothing to Do.

years and sorrow, they sink from the

where they fall and you are to 90 a lit
