Winds Dangerous to Health.

Tho dread of the east wind is universal.
Every one has feen and experienced its Of
tects. Man and beast turn from it as from
an enemy and vegetation shrinks from its
blasting influence. Rising ia tho dry, arid
plains of Asia. and passing over the great
northern plateau of Europe. it is deprived
of all moisture, imparting to everything it
touches dry. chilled, parched feeling, veri.
flying the we'll known adage "When the
wind is is in the East, il is neither good for
man nor beast" The mistral, too, in the
south of France, is destructive to health and
lie. The sirocco. prevailing in the Medter-
ranean, Italy and Sicily, is hot southeast
wind, eneryaling the body and destroying
the energies of the mind. Its heat, like a
blast from an oven, is insupportable. Under
it's influence, overy fiber is relaxed, every
pore is opened. all nature languishes, and
life itself is burdensoDe. In Spain, the
solona and galIego--the one cold, the
other hot wind-are pernicious IN their
effects this dreaded for its keeuness, that
! reducing those with whom IL comes in con-
tact to a peculiar state of inactivity. The
air of Madrid Is exceedingly inSAlubrious
rendering the capital of Spain one of the
most unhealthy cities In Europe. Nor are
the Spaniards unaware ofthis, for they have
a proyerb that "the Dir Of Madrid is so sub
tie that il will not put out a candle, yet I
will extingulsh man's life" ......

New York Unionism.

The Union and Democratic members Of the
N. Y. Legislature, before adjournment, is-
sued an able address to tho people of that
State. We copy the following synopsis
from tho Worid: .
The members unite 10 the recognition of
the fact that the political power Of slavery
is broken forever-tbat it must never be
permitted to invade smother inch of free
territory, that it rightly is abolished in the
District Of Columbia. that the Constitution
must hereafter be administered in the spirit
of freedom and not for the perpetuati on o'
slavery, and ,hoy join in lsuding "tho wise
and constitutional" emancipation policy o.
President Lincoln.
They denounce any peace to be purchased
by compromise with slavery, or based upoI
a division of The Union, or securing any i'm
munty to the slav aveholding interest beyont
that expressly conferred by the CoDstitu
Iion. They demand, when the war is closed

DEPATMEET OF STATE, !
Talking Dogs,

A peasant in Saxony owned dog OF ordi.
nary breed and middling size. A little boy,
the peasants sou, thought he perceived in
the dogs voice an indistnct resemblance
to certain words, aud therefore determined
to teach him TO speak distinctly. For this
purpose hespafed neither time nor pains
with bis pupil, who was about three years old
when his learned education commenced, and
at length he made such progress in language
as to be able to articulate no less than thirty
words. 1t appears, however, that he was
somewhat of q truaut, and did not willingly
exert his talents being rather pressed into
tho service of literature, and it was necessa-
ry that the words should be first produced
to him each time before he spoke. The
French academcans, who mention this au-
ecdote add very wisely. it seems to US, that
"unless they bad received the unoquivocal
testimony of so great man as Leibnitz.
who spoke from his personal observation OF
the animals powers, they should scarcely
have dared to relate the circumstance. ="
There is one other instance on record of
talking dog, owned by an invalid gentleman
who resided for some years on Ham Com
mon, in Surrey, England. This animal
would distinctly pronounce the names OF
John. and William, besides two or three
other words, which we cannot recall.

DISCIPLINE IN CHILDHooD.-Young peo.
Pile who have been habitually gratifiod in
all their desires, will infallbly take it more
amiss when the feelings or happiness OF
others require that they should be thwarted,
than those who have been practically trained
to the habit of subduing and restraining
them and consequently will, in general,
sacrifice the happiness of others to their
own selfish indulgence. To what else Is
she selfsbness of princes and other great
people attributed 1t is in vain to think
of cultivating principles of generosity
and benefcence by mere exhortation and
reasoning. Nothing but the practical habit
of overcoming our selfishness and of famil-
iarly ercountering privations and discomfort
on account OF others, will ever enable us to
do it when required. And. therefore. am
firmly persuaded that indulgence infallibly
produces selfshness and hardness of heart,
aud that nothing but pretty severe discipline
and control can lay the foundation OF q
maguanimous character--Lord Jcfrey.

THE VOLUNTEERS BURIAL.
BY PARK DENJAMlN.


'Tis evo: one brightly breathing star
Shines from tho eastern hepvons afar,
To light the footsteps of tho bravo,
Slow marching to a comrades grave.
The northern winds have sunk to sleep ;
The sweet South breathes, as low and deep
The martial clang is heard, the tread
Ofthose who bear the silent d6Sd.
And whose tho form, all stark and cold,
Thus ready for the looseued mould,
Aud stretched on 30 rude bier
Thine, soldier, thine the Volunteer.
Poor Volunteer! the shot, the blow,
Or swift disease has laid him low;
And few his early loss dvplore-
Ills battle fought, his journey DER.
Alas no wife's fond arms caressed.
His cheek no tender mother pressed,
No plying soul was by his side,
As lonely 10 his tent he died.
He died-the Voluuteor-at noon;
AT evening came the small platoon
That soon will leave him to his rest,
With sods upon bis manly breast.
Hark to their firoi his only knell-
More solemn than the passing bell
For. ah it tells spirit flown,
UnshiVeriDg, to the dark unknown.
His deeds and fate shall fade away.
Forgotten since his dying day.
And never on the roll of Fame
Shall be inscribed his humble name.
Alas like him. how many moro
Lie cold upon Potomac's shore!
How many green, unnoted graves
Are bordcred by those placid waves!
Sleep, soldier, sloep from sorrow free.
Aud sin and strife. 'Tis we'll with thee
'Tis well; though not single tear
Laments the buried volunteer.

Yorktown.

Yorktown, port of entry, capital Of York
county, Va, is situated on the right bank OF
York river, ii miles from its mouth. and
several miles cast by south. east o. Rich
moud. 1t was settled 10 l705. and was once
hourishipg. The shipping Of tho district,
June 30tb, 1854, amounted TO an aggregate
Of 5,9ll tons enrolled and licensed, ana all
employed in the coast trade. Before the
commencement o: the rebellion, Yorktown
was a quiet, unobtrusiye little village of bo-
tween 20 and 30 houses, half of them unin.
habted, with the ruins of teDements de-
stroyod during Cornwallis' sioge visible ev.
erywbere. The American breastworks were
nearly obliterated, whilo the more perma-
nent ibtrenchments of the British were com
parativcly perfect, The outworks which tho
latter were compelled to ovacuate on the
29th Of September, 1881 are on the western
outskirts of the town, and are probably in
good preservation. Tboy wero strong po-
sitions, aud their abandonment must have
left tho portion Of the town in which they
were situated. in Q very exposed condition.
and the American officers, when they took
possession of them, expressed much surprise
at their being voluntarily given up. Tho
most eastern Of the redoubts, stormed by
the allied forces on the 18th of October,
1881, being near the river, has nearly been
washed away; that ,nken by tho French por-
tion of the army may still be tracked. The
capture OF these redOubts rendered the do.
struction or surrender of the British forces
inevitable and on the l7th CORVALLIS soIic-
tied truce, and agreed to capituate. The
main works, situated on the eastern edge OF
the town, were in excellent keeping in 1854,
and must have been formidable whom brist.
ling with cannon and occupied by soldiers.
The embankment was too broad to be per-
forated by cannon shot, and too steep TO be
scaled by an assaiant. The field where the
iormali,ics of the surrender occurred is 6
