How the Men Work In Trenches

It may lie a puzzle to conceive how
our men can throw up fortiicat'ons right
in the face and in plain sight of the enc
my, without being seriously disturbed
by them. A brief description may be
interesting, inasmuch as it cannot be
contraband, because the work is done
right under the noses of tho rebels.
A working party is detailed for night
duty: with muskets slung on their backs
and picks on thoir shoulders, they pro-
ceed to the selected ground. The white
tape marks the line of excavation. the
dark lanterns arc faced to the rear; the
muskets are carefully laid aside; the
shovelu are in hand. and each man 81
,entiy commences to dig. Not word
is spoken. not one spade clicks against
another, each man first digs hole sufli-
cient 10 cover himself; he then turns
and digs to his right hand neighbor ;
then the ditch decpens and widens, and
the parapet rises. Yet all is silent; the
relief comes, and the weary ones retire;
the words and jcs.s of the enemy arc Of
ten plainly heard, while no noise from
our men disturbs the stiffness; save the
dull rattle of the earth. as each spadeful
is thrown to the top; at day light. long
line Of earthwork, affording complete
protection to our men. greets the aston.
ished eyes of the enemy. while the sharp
shooters bullets greet their ears. Free

1 am inclined to think that gossips.

This is the way it happens. Their minds
being uninformod and uncultivated and
their own lives meagre and barren of in

those about them. to see if they canton
extract little pleasurable excitement
from the contemplation of their neigh.

feeds on and lacking the element of
the marvellous, at any time what easier
than for them to supply in and make the
story round one at any sacrifice. In
proportion as the mind is cultivated,
things. not persons. engage its attention.
Had women as many resources as men.
female gossips would be scarce in pro.
portion.
Mothers, not only for this. but for
other obvious reasons, should early cul-
tivate taste for reading in their daugh.

against the corroding rust of unem-
ployed hours not only in youth but in
her old age. if unsurroundsd by domestic
ties. She need not then be cape for
every bit of scandal, or employ her time
running abour to collect material for its
Manufacture. She can select her CON.

and recall them at her pleasure without
offence Above all she will be digni6ed.

Terrible RetributiOn for the Mur

The Boston Traveller Of last evening

Our correspondent connected with the

What A Cow has Done for the War.

We heard of IN incident yesterday
which should mako some of our rich
men blush who are subscribing their
paltry fves and tens to the recruiting
funds of their several localities. 1t was
this:-
A few days since, subscriptions were
set on foot in Orleans county. A far
msr Of moderate means contributed $50
and Co~. Every one conceded that
this was liberal but it occurred to q
f,iend that the Cow might be turned to
excellent account. Lots were TO be cast

were distributed and paid for. This,
practically. brought up the farmers sub
scription to $255. But the cow was
destined to do still better. The winner
put her up at auction. and $50 more
were added to the fund making the ag-
gregate $2s5 But it was deemed q
pity that a Cow so thoroughly patriotic
should be sold so cheap, and the result
was that SIS were added to the purchase
money-making the Co~'s aggregate
contribution to the fund $3.50, besides
the $50 from her original owner!
There are great many rich men, all
over the country, who will not do half
as much for the war as this Cowi

No Tiine for GruInbling.

There have been mistakes. There
has been speculation. Weak men have
disgrscsd. and bad men have betrayed
the Government Contractors have tat-
tened on fat jobs Adventures have
found the war a source of private gain.
Moral de.peradoes have focked about tn:
National Capital and lain in wait Tor
prey. The SCUM Of the land has gath
cred about the sources of power and de-
fled them by its reek aud offensive order.
There has been mismanagement in the
Departments !; mismanagement in the
camp; Encouragement wherever great
labor has been performed and great res
possibilities devolving. Men, even Pres
idcnts and Cabinet officers and Com
uianding Genera s. have erred, because
their vision was finite, because they could
not grasp the full significance of the
drans. aud because they were compelled
to strike out on untrodden paths.
But be who stops now to carp and
grumble does the cause great harm. He
who makes the mistakes of the Govern
ment and the rascaities Of its agents an
excuse for being indifferent or lukewarm,
is no true patriot. This is no time to
square petty accounts. 1t is no time to
waste breath in deciamation against cor
ruption. 1t is no time even to stop aud
try the culprits. We will attend to thrm
alter the graver work Of saving the coun-
try is off our hauds. AT present the soIe
! supreme duty Of the people is to put
down the Rebellion, brin the miserable
conflict to close. and conquer. by the
red right hand Of war, an honorable and
permanent peace.
There is one infallible test of loyalty:
one token by which. the patriot can be
distinguished from The half or full 6.dg
ed secessionist If GU hear msu talk

tegrity of those in power; if you hear

you hear him swapping up of every ugly
gossip and heralding it at the top of his
voice; if you hear him circulating Sian,
ders against our army officers and mag
nifying every incident revealing coward
ice on the part Of Colonels of Regiments;
if you hear him whining about every
thing having gone to the d--l;"-set
him down as traitor at heart. ..
The true patriot will lament, aud in
the proper place and proper time, de-
uounce corruption aud mismanaguent
and weak-knoed policy. But hc will be
charitable toward those who honestly
err. anu hope that experience in posts
of power will beget wisdom. He will
be tolerant OF the faults OF ignorance.
