AFFAB1L1rY.-Be good natured, if you can,
for there is no charm SO great, no attractions
so great, no attractions so admirable. A face
that is always full of the expression Of amiabil-
ity, is always beautiful. 1t needs no paint,
no powder. Cosmetics are superfuous for it.
Rouge cannot improve its cheeks nor lilly
white mend its complexion. Its loneliness lies
beyond all this. It is not the gaze into the
face of noble man or woman, it is not the
shape of the features you really see, nor yet
the tint of the cheek, the hue Of the lip, the
brilliance of the eyes; you see the nameless
something which animates all these and leaves
for your instinct sense of grateful fascina
ton; you see an indescribable embodiment Of
heartfelt goodness within, which wins your
regard in spite of external appearance, and
defcs all critical rules of the athletic.

Two DIFFERENT WAYs.-The worldly way
of greatness leads through self and in self
seeking. Gods way leads through the seek
ing others good-the good of the world-the
GOOD of mankind. The one makes self the
aim and end-the other mkaes self merely the
instrument of another and higher end.
Under the influence of true ambition, one
offers up his whole being, with all its force,
as a gift of God, to be used in his service.
The one imprisons the soul, and gives it over
to all servitude of the passions; the other en-
mobiles it by bringing it to the love of nobler
themes and things; and it works purity and
magninimity.

LIFE WITHOUT TRIALs.-Would you wish
to live without trials? Then you would wish
to die but half man. Without trial you can
not guess at your own strength. Men do not

How Cork Is CoLLEcrED.-M. Caslmlr de
Candolle, the third inheritor Of the name Of
an honored race of botanists, has submitted
his maiden scientific paper to the Geneva Nat
ural Histor Society on the production Of cork :
1.-THE operation consists in the removal
from the trunk of the natural corky layer Of
the bark down to the subdjacent cellular en-
velope or green layer; which is done in Alge-
ria, (where young De Candolle's observations
were made. during the summer or autumn.
Shortly after this operation, new corky stra-
tum begins to form in the green layer, at q
variable distance from its denuded surface.
This grows by annual layersupon its internal
face, just as the original and worthless corky
layer did but this is much finer and much
more elastic. aud is the commercial article.
When this valuable cork has attained sufficient
thickness, ordinarily after seven or eight years,
it also is removed, with the same result as be-
fore, 1. g., new corky stratum IS formed below
and SO successive crops may be taken off the
trunk every seventh or eighth year for long
while, or even indefinitely"

SURRENDER OF A MICHIGAN REGIMENT.

SURRENDER OF A MICHIGAN REGIMENT.
Between 5000 and 1000 Georgans, Tex
ans and guerillas, under Col Forrest, attack
ed the llth Michigan and Sd Minnesota re-
giments, in Murfreesboro, at an early hour
Sunday morning. There was desperate fight
ing, and at 3 p. m. the Michigan troops had
surrendered. The Minnesotians were strong
ly entrenched and cut the enemy to pieces
terribly with Hewett's Kentucky battery, re-
pulsing them with great slaughter in three
charges. Flags of truce were sent in by Col
Forrest demanding their surrender. Col
Leslie replied he could hold his position a
week. The railroad track was torn up but
replaced. An attack on Nashville is proba-
bic. Col Leslie is reported falling back on
Nashville. The cannonading was heard re-
peatedly at Nashville. Col Boone has arriv-
ed with several companies.
A special dispatch to the associated press,
says Murfreesboro has been taken by the
confederates, who are mostly Texan rangers
under Col Forrest. Report says it was the
9th Michigan regiment which was captured.
The I'd Minnesota, with the battery, were
holding out at last accounts. Brig Gems
Dutfield and Crittenden of Indiana, are pris-
oners. There is great excitement in Nash
vile. We will give the enemy the best fight
po>sible, and if compelled to yield will shell
the city. a battery is in position for that
emergency.
