The Mind.
BY MISS A. C. LlLLIE.

who can comprehend the mind ? the
thinking. reasoning, loving, willing, spiritual
immortal part o: man9 that part which
shall live long after its frai caskot shall have
moldored back to dust, and the earth Itself
been wrapt in flames
Without tho mind, man would be one O.
the least of living creatures; but, with it,
he is "tho noblost work of God in this
lowor world" By the aid OF that, ho has
been able to search out tho wonders Of the
globo we tread on to make tho winds, the
waters aud the lightning tho messengers OF
his will; and, while the body is still confined
to this mundane sphere, soar away into the
6opndisss regions of space, and discern the
magnitude, density and motion of yon
twinklng worlds.
IL has been tray said by one, that "the
human mind can comprehend almost every.
thing except fise!c" 1t can philosophize
upon the mechanism OF our own world and
tar distant ~ofids; but, when Il .urDs it's ro
searches within ifsriE, it is lost in the bound
less depths of its own infinitude. 1t can
trace the paths of hundreds of worlds. as
they move on nothing In their prescribed
courses; but is bewildered in trying to fol.
low the mazy labyrinths Of its own journev.
'ngs. II can measure tho magnitude of suns
and planets, but can invent nothing capable
OF defining its own vastness. 1t can trace
on glowing canvass the beauty of face aud
figure; but what pen or pencil can describe
the grandeur of n.soai made perfect in the
"beauty of holiness" as il rises 10 the glory
of its majesty, to bold communion with tho
great Fountain Soul Of all souls
The very existence of thing so wonder
ful shows plainly that it must have had a
Creator, and that that Creator mrst have
been vastly superior to the human mind
for tho maker must always exceed the thing
made. We talk Of the wonders emauatipp
from the hand Of tho artist and yet they
are but feeble miniatures of tho great mind
that designed them. And how infinitely
great must be the Being that could form
that mind--that wonderful. mysterious
thing. which, in the vividness of it's imagina.
ton, could conceive that noble work, and
by the power of its will could mako the
members of the body movo in pcrfcct sub.
lection to it, and transfer on marble or
canvass the glowing ideal .....
But I must close; for have chosen
'hcme too high for my earth bound intellect.
and ono which can never understand IN.

corruptible shall have put on incorruption,
and this mortal shall have put on immor-

WONDERFUL EFrEcrs OF MoRrAR Fra.
INo.-A correspondent OF the Worl4
writing from IS1ss4-No. 10, relates the
following: To one at a distance from
them, especially in the line OF fire, the re-
port OF the mortar is something appalling,
and we are confidently told that they can
be heard at distance of fihy miles,
When standing near the mortar, however.
the noise is not so loud, but the concussion
IS such as 10 shatter every nerve in ones
6ody,and actually started the soldering of
me steam pipes Of one steamer when ,yinv
along nde during the firing. Some inter-
esilng lacts are told concerning the ire.
mendous draught created by the vacuum
OF the discharged mortar. Pieces of
clothing have been brought from a dis
tance into the boat, and yesterday tho
metal button from the jacket OF one of the
gunners, lying few feet in front Of the
mortar, was broken clean from its stem
and sucked into the mortar, where it was
found Immediately afterwards. Several
men have been knocked down by the
wind, though standing fifty yards from
the piece when it was fred.

A STORY OF GEN. S1oEL.-On tbe re-
turn OF Gen. Fremonts army from The
South West, Sigel commanded the di.
vision that came by Lebanon 10 Rolla.--
A few miles this side of Lebanon III.
army encamped over night on the farm of
a man who was in sympathy with the re-
belllon, aud bis fence rails were all burned
for frewood, and his farm stripped a
whatever was useful and necessary 10
subslst the troops aud horses Of the train.
In the morning the farmer came with
large bill of damages, and asked for paw
ment. The Quartermaster came to Gen.
Sigel TO know what should be done about
it. Col. Warnoth was present, and the
General asked him whether the man was
loyal citizen. The Colonel replied thst
he was conditional Union man at first.
but that he had afterward sympatbized
with the rebellion. Turning 70 the Quar-
termasler- General, Sigel then replied
"Mr. Quartermas'er, then you sympathizs
with the Government" 1t is hardly
necessary to add that the Secesh farmer
did not obtain what he came for.

AN ANEcDoTE TOLD BY DANIEL WEB
TER.-Hon. Daniel Webster had an
anecGote Of old Father Scarf, the minister
OF his boyhood, which has never been in
print, and which is loo good TO be lost.
1t was customary then 10 wear buckskin
breeches in cold weather. One Sunday
morning in autumn, Father Scarf brought
his down from the garret; but the wasps
had taken possession of them during the
summer, and, were having a nice time
in them. By dint of effort he got out
the intruders and dressed for meeting.
But while reading the Scriptures to the
congregation, be felt dagger from one
OF the enraged small! wasted fellows, and
jumped about the pulpit slapping his
,highs-but the more he slapped around
and danced, the more they stung. The
people thought him crazy, and were in
commotion what to do, but he explained
the matter By saying: Brethren, don't
be alarmed. The word of the Lord is ia
my mouth, but the devil is in my breeches.' :

DIscoNTENT.-It is often remarked by
those who seem discontented with every.
thing around them, that this world is one OF
overwhelming care and solicitude, How
greatly are such mistaken. 1t is true there
is much that we meet in the way that tries
US, and causes us, at times. TO despond, but
when We look with steady eye at our rea!
prospects, We see, looming up from behind
the black cloud that seemed impenotrable
scenes of brightness that cheer US on TO the
light of better day, and the condition of a
wiser and happier man. However sad The
picture may seem, little reflection will
teach us how. not only to appreciate The
blessings OF life. but 10 bear with fortitude
and resignation the Ills that await us. and Ia
acknowledge in them the hand of Proyi.
dence that is to bring US out of them, with
minds purified, enlarged and enlightenment.

A SUGGESTION FOR THR SoLDIERs.-Tho
captain of the barge in an Oxford boat race,
Just as they are starting, gives each rover q
Lutte slice of lemon 10 hold in his mouth.
lie Knows the philosophy; anything in the
mouth that promotes the flow o. saliva and
keeps the throat moist answers as well or
better than drink. which often, in quantities,
weakens the stomach. A physician, who
understood these things, used in his long
drives to take a Glove in his mouth, instead
of drinking frequently as his inclination
would have led him 10 do. The advantage
of cloves is that they contain much in little
81 q ,e, and do not lose their strength. For
the soldier they would be peculiarly useful.
since they are aromatic, stin u'atiDg, and
astriDgent, which last quality would tend to
counteract that tendency to irritation Of
tho bowels which is the baDe Of the SOL
dier's life. Half-a-dozen day arc enough;
