C~REIATION After the battle of Elk Horn.
or Sugar Creek as it is called by some, the Fed
erals piled their dead, covered them with logs
and b~rushwood and set fire to tae pile. We
assert this on the authority of men who saw it
done, and on that Of others, who saw the charred
and half burnt remains The manner Of dis
losing Of the dead, is one Of custom Of taste,
and if cremation is resOrted 70, the bodies should
be thoroughly burnt, and the ashes gathered
and preserved or buried. But to partially burn
or roast the bodies and leave them to be de-
voured by wild beasts has in it a degree Of nor
Tor that is revolting< Alas how little did the
deluded wretches who came to enslsve a free
people, imagine that, instead Of fine farms, their
fate would be 80 awful. Slain by the freemen
whom they came to conquer, their bodies are
cooked by their friends to make d repast for
wolves.
This thing was not Only done after the late
battle, but It was previously done at Forsyth, in
Missouri-Liaas Rock lsm0cr4i.

WHY DO We SHAKE HANDS.

1t isR very oil old-fashioned way of indicating
friendship. Jehu said to Jehonabad "is hine
heart right as my heart is with thine heart!
II il be, give me thine hand" 1t is not mere
ly an oldfGshioned custom; it Is st rictly nat
oral one, and as usual in such cases, We may
find physiological rea son, if we will only take
the pains to search for it. The animals cult
Nate friendship by the sense of touch, as we'll
as by the sense of smell, hearing and sight; and
for this purpose. they employ the most sensi.
tive parts Of their bodies. They rub their no
ses together, or they lick one another with
their tongues Now. the hand Is part of the
human body in which the sense of torsc h rs
highly developed; and, after the manner of the
animals, not only like to see and hear on r
friends, 1--WE do not usually smell them though
Isaac, when his eyes were dim resC rted to

by another of our modes of greeting. When
we wish to determine whether substance be

With the information conveyed by the fingers.
We apply it to the lips, and rub it gently upon
them. We do so, because we know by expe-
Tience chat the sense of touch is more actively

HOW TO SUCCEED .

A young military officer, now in one Of the
camps in Virginia. who has recently received
commission, writes as RoileF+s 10 ore of his fel-
bow clerks in BostoR:
"A young man never will succeed without
hard works and the harder the work the
more sure the success, either in business,
or learning or anything else in life. When
cur regiment reached Washington in July last,
and saw how things We're drifting, / made up
my mind to aim high, and haven't hit my aim
yet. l went to work TO make myself the best
soldier in the regiment, having n,y musket and
equipments the cleanest on inspection, my per-
formanee Of the manual of arms, etc, the best
Of anyQ and never '.knuckled down to any
in point Of ofexcellence; so when in Septemb CT
we had lot of recruits from New York to
drill. Sergeant G.. had the job; when in Novem-
berthe Sergeant Major was sick, Sergeant G.
acted as such for the time; and when tie Col
onel gave his notice about examining all the
oandi dates for commissioned officers, said to
myself-'there's your chanceP and came out
Of the ordeal with commission, although the
examination was very strict, embracing the
army regulations about every branch of thu
service, as we'll as the tactics Since my pro-
motion l have had the pleasure of being told
by the Adjutant that the Colonel called me
tAe best soldier in my company, without czcep-
tion.
Now write you this for only one reason
and that is TO have you whom take an in
tersst in) profit by my experience, and applg
the Fame ideas to your business wish you
to succeed, and tell you it is hard work that
will make you, if anything will.

CORRECr SPEAKING.

We advise all young people TO acquire in
early life the habit Of using good language.
both in speaking and writing, and to abandon,
hs earl5 As possible, any use of slang words
and phrasts The longer they live the more
difficult the acquisition Ui correct language viii
be; and If the golden age of youth, the Proper
season for the acquisition Of language, be pass
ed fn It's abuse, the unfortunate victim of
neglected education is, very properly, doome
TO nlk slang for life. Money is not necess airy
to procure this education. Every man has it
IN his power. lie has merely to use the Ian
Enage which he reads, instead of the slang
which he hears, to form his taste from the best
speakers and poets of the country; to treasure
up choice phrases in his memory, and habitu-
hte himself to their use, avoiding, at the same
time. that pedantic precision and bombast.
which shows rather the weak ness Of vain ambi-
ton than the polish of an educated mind.

HAgTY OPINIoNs.

LEr us not pass an opinion too hastily, on
the actions Of others. 1t is better to judge a
man too leniently than too harshly. If we must
err It is better to err on mercy's side. Better
that ten deadly injuries should go unrevenged
than one innoce mt person should be made to
suffer.
We can never accurately judge of man s
heart by his outward conduct-bccause we
tahhot place ourselves precisely in his situa-
tion, to look upon life and its affairs with his
own particular estimate. We can never be sur
rounded with the same influences that surround
him, or be acted upon by the identical impulses
which act upon him. We can not see life from
his individual stand point, and therefore we
do not kno but that if we we're placed in his
circumstance we should do even as he has
done.
Let US, therefore, be charitable one to andtii-
ef, ior We know not how soon we Ourselvesj
may require charity and forgiveness at the
hand of our neighbor.
