Don't gel discouraged. Who ever gain
ed ANYTHING by d,awing the corners Of his
mouth when clouds came over the sun, or
leltih. his beard drop like dead weight
into his shoes when misfortune came upon
himl Why. man, fthe world knock You
down and jas,le past you in its great
race, don't sit whining under peoples feet,
but get up, rub your elbows, and begin
again. There are some people whom, even
TO look at, is worse than dose Of camo-
mike tea. What if you are little puzzled
on the dollar and cent ouesticn?-others
beside You exactly in the same spot, and
struggled braveIy out of il, and You are
neither halt, lame, or blind, that you can
not do likewise! The weather may be
dark and rainy-ver wel-laugh between
the drops, and think cheeringly of the blue
sky and sunshine that will surely come
Tomorrow Business may be dull, make
the best of what you have, and look for
ward 10 something more hopeful. H. you
cant afford roas; beef and plumb pudding,
eat your Goldfish joyfulIy, and tha, k your
stars for the Indigestion and dyspepsia you
thereby escape! But the moment You be-
gin TO groan over your troubles and count
ap the calamities, you may as well throw
yourself over the dock and have done with
ii. The luckiest fellow that ever lived,
might have woes enough, if he had Set
himself seriously to work looking them up.
They are like invisible specks of dust
you don't see 'em till you pu. on your
spsciacIes. But then, is it worth willie TO
put on your spectaeles to discover what is
a great deal better let alone!
Don't get discouraged Iil,le wife: Life
is not long enough . spend in iuflaming
your eyes and reddening your nose because
the pudding won't bake, and your husband
says the new shirt you worked over SO
long, "sets like meal bag" Make an
other pudding-begin the shirt anew l.
Don't feel "down in the mouth because
dust will settle, and clothes will wear out,
and crockery get broken. Being woman
don't procure you an exemption from
trouble and earei you have got TO fight
the battle of life as well as your husband,
and it will never do to give it up without
bold struggle. Take things as they
come, good and bad together, and when
ever you feel inclined TO cry, just change
your mind and laugh! Keep the horrors
at arms length! never turn a blessing
round TO see if it has dark side to 1t, and
always take it for granted That things are
blessings until they prove to be something
else.
Never allow yourself 10 get discouraged,
and YOU will find the world pretty com

,Tzs l6rH.-It 'snow substantated beyond
the .Aeaqw Of isdeubt that Nhs 10Th Iowa
Regiment did its duty nobly in the late bat
to 1t Pittsburg. 1t was the Ohio regiment
that behaved so badly At that place, and we
believe they were more sinned against than sin
ming 1t is pretty well established chat there
was gross negligence displayed on the part Of
the officers in not preparing and guarding
againsta surprise. The fact Of the matter
is the commanding officer had machine Al
together Ion large for him, and had it not been
for the oppprtune arrival ofGen. Buell., one
of the finest armies we have would have been
entirely destroyed.
To illustrate the manner in which the 10th
was treated; We copy The following extract
from alstter written by its Lieutenant Colo
mel, Add. II. Sanders. he says: ..~
1--WE MARCHED out several miles-then e.,
General, rho, I don't know, ordered US across
an open field and partial return IN the face q
battery. Our boys stood it very well TO
new soldiers, although bomb-shells burs
over their heads, and several arms and leg

Ily got them in what was designed as our ''po
sition"--in an open space, near battery
with their Sharp-Shooters protected by larg'
trees in open woods. 1t promised to be
clear case Of butchery."
