QUILTED THoUGHTs. How mysterious
is the tie of association which links fond
memories with the fnerest tribes. What
human interest do such recollections
throw around the cotnmonest objects. We
thought of this the other day, when we
saw two Of our lady friends pouring over
u faded quilt, as if it were volume full
of the tenderest thoughts. Each hit of
patchwork had for them its separate his
tory. One was o piece Of the dress Of a
dear friend long since: gone to her rest.
Another was worn on an occasion OF great
interest, recalled with quivering lip aud
moistened eye. A1hird Was an iItisicOn,
q bit of the dress of aeplee great-grand-
mother, long since forgotten, but for this
shred once worn, by. heFt.. 10 SUCH insig-
nifcant things DO we owe the. preSerya-
ton of our memoriesI Every fragment
Of the well-worp. quilt RECALLED ,s0ms, fond
memory or foFkotteR7 incident Of the paSt.
It seemed like reading the history q I6sir
lives in calico. - 80,
We were musing on the theme when
our eye fell on the following paragraph in
one Of Jenny Junc's contributions to the
New York Sunday Times. 1t tells the
whole story:
There is charm about patchwork
quilts for which every woman has weak
ness. They arc full Of secret memories,
and incidents, and stories, and asSOcia.
tons which are recorded in every square
and block as clearly as if traced by the
pen Of the recording angel. Such con-
tains squares Of everybody's dress. There
is the blue which you wore in school, and
which was made very low in the neck,
and always looked 50 pretty; and the
pink, which was a present from Aunt
Abby and the calico, which was worn
for the first time TO 20 to acertain quilting
and the dotted muslin, which was favor

AEur M9RALIV. TINS subject Of army
morals g. .ns that comes h0m. directly 20
tile community. There Is none amongst us
without some dear relative OF friend in the
army, whose moral welfare is as delr as his
physical well being, and thousands of mothers
and sisters are only restrained from giving
their sous and brothers to .hcir country, by
the fear lest In the c2rruT tious of camp lite
they should thereby De lost 90 God. IL con-
Germs then. our welfare as n Nation, as well
as our honor az Christian people, that the
moral and religious wcil-being Of our soldiers
should lot be overlooked by those in au-
thlri.Y.
Wi-h this view q pamphlet entitled '' The
Slbasth in the Army and Navy, Just is
sued ty the Sabbath Committee OF this city,
isrlrtcuurly timely. There are certain car
dinal features which are equally common to
al religious denominations, and one Of these
is tge duty Of sabbath Observance. There is
no occasion for the enforcement Of purianic
stT.cjucss in the army, all that is claimed b.
ing that soldiers should not be required to
perform any nrineeessary duty on that day.
In this respect it is remarkable that those
officers who have most religi0usly observed
the sabbath are more popular andh achiey.
CommodOre FcoTE and Generals MCCLELLAN
and MIIHELL will occur Immediately 70
every reader. They justly hold thar the NOR
ality and discipline of the troops and their
consequent success are largely dependent on
the proper observance Oi the Sabbath.
At present it IS to cur disgrace that the
American army. though the most intelligent
aud best educated in the world, is also the
most prohne. Foreigners. by no means
squeamish, have repeatedly remarked this.
The food OF basphemy ard impiety is des-
cribed as being ceaseless from morning TILL
night. There are thousands Of moral and
religious soldiers to whom this charge never
can apply, but the good are unfortunately
either outnumbered or are less Obtrusive than
the bad. Officers too, give way to the habit
and abuse the privilege Of their rank TO at
tain bad emrnence IN this respect as though
their military rncapaeity could be concealed
by blasphenY. None felt this evil mole
kenny than the immortal WASHINGTON,
who issued a general order against profane
swearing, and observed: 1--WE can have lit
lie hope Of the blessing Of Heaven on our
arms, Il We insult it by our impiety and
folly.''-N. Y. Sua.

DISCOVERIES AT PoNPEu.-A correspondent
of the London AihenGum writes on August
Sth, last. that on that day bakers house
in Pompeii was excavated. in one corner OF
which was found heap Of silver and copper
coins, to the number of about 500, which
had seemingly been tied up IN a little bag.
At the same time, and near the same spot,
were found two large shears, and soon after
wards a house mill of the ordinary descrip-
ton. together with little heap Of corn,
the grains Of which were blackened and
somewhat shrivelled, but yet fully preserving
their shape and very little diminished IN size.
In the next apartment was found the metal
shovel with which the loaves were placed in
the oven; the oven itself, the month Of which
was closed with i large iron door, not en-
hinges, but cemented at the edges TO the faces
of the oven. The door was soon removed and
we were rewarded with the sight of the entire
batch Of loayes, such as they were deposited
in the oven seventeen hundred aud eighty
three years ago. They are eighty-two in num-
Der, and all, SO far as regards .Orm, size, in
ded every charaC teristic. except weight and
color, precisely as they came from the bakers
hand When is is recollected that up to the
present time but two such loaves have been
discovered, and all of them imperfect, the
interest of the discoveries will be fully appre-
cia ted.
