THE Story oE AN AToM.-The atom of
charcoal which foated in the corrupt atmos.
phere of the old volcanic ages, was absorbed
into the leaf Of fern when the valleys be-
came green and luxuriant and there in its
proper place, it received the sunlight and the
dew. aiding to fling back to heaven reflec-
ton of heavens gold; and at the same time
to build the tough fibre of the plant. The
atom was consigned to the tomb when the
waters submerged the jungled valley. 1t had
lain there thousands of years, and month
since was brought into the light again, i'm.
bedded in block of coal. 1t shall be con.
sumed to warm our dwellings, cook our food,
and make more ruddy and cheerful the hearth
whereon our children play it shall combine
with portion Of the invisible atmosphere,
ascend upward as curling wreath to revel
in mazy dance high up in the blue ether,
shall reach the earth again, and be entrapped
into the embrace of flower; shall live in
velvet beauty on the cheek of the apricot
shall pass into the human body, giving en-
ployment to the palate, and health to the
blood shall circulate in the delicate tissues
of the brain and aid. by entering into some
new combination, in educing the thoughts
which are now being uttered by the pen. 1t
is but an atom of charcoal; it may dwell one
moment in a stagnant ditch, and the next be
flushing on the lip of beauty it may now be
a component of limestone rock, and the next
an ingredient in field of potatoes it may
slumber for a thousand years without under
going a single change, and the next hour
pass through thousand and, after all, it is
only an atom of charcoal, and occupies only
its own place wherever it may be.

VINO ARE FIGHTING.--The Sac. Bee publishes
the items copied below, showing the political
material of which some Of the regiments now
in the field are comp 1sed
In 1861, the Pennsylvania troops were au-
thorized to vote, and Commissioners were
sent to their camps to take the vote. The
vote is republshed in the Philadelphia Press
of October llth, 1862, and stands Republi-
can, IL ,35l; Democrats, 3,173-or three
fourths of all the votes cast were given to
the Republican Union ticket. The vote is
given by countless and the number of COM
panies from each, and strange to say, every
county-cven old Berks and Bucks-are
overwhelmingly for the Republican Uuion
ticket
TIE Iowa Troops were this year allowed TO
vote Those at Corinth cast 26l for the
Democrat ticket and l.307 for the Union tick
et The Twenty seventh regiment at St.
Pauls, Minnesota. cast 493 for the Republi-
can Union and II for the Democratic The
Pennsylvania soldiers last year voted about
the same way. 1t is no wonder, in view of
these facts, that the Peace stay -at-h home Dem

THE OLD THING.-The Sierra Democrat, =
strictly loyal paper, notwithstanding its Dem
ocracy, marvels much that those recusant
brothers, who were kicked cut Of the Demo-
cratic party at Charleston, should persist in
rejoicing over victories in New York and
elsewhere. 1t says:
The old sagaciouses composing Uncle
Jeff's reserve in this section, would excite
the admiration of the Devil, by their impu
dence. They crow over Democratic success

couldn't muster enough voters in 1860 to

of the exclamation ascribed to the other

AN EXTRAORDINARY THEoRY.-A foreign
Journal, in an article against the punishment
of death, publishes the following curious de.
tails: When at the end of the last century
the terrible machine of Dr. Guillotin made its
appearance, it gave rise to great controversy
among the faculty throughout Europe The
inventor pretended and believed that death
by this instrument was easier than by any
other means, and that the rupture of the yer.
tebre. the nerves, and all the organs of the
head, killed the whole body at once and in.
simultaneously. Several experiments were
made at Vienna. Some prisoners were to bs
executed. and several medical men who had
already disputed the statement of DIR. Gull.
lotin, obtained permission to remain on the
scaffold during the execution, and when n
head was cut off it was delivered to them
The first was that of young man. The eyes
were closed and the tongue protruded. Eight
minutes were allowed TO expire, when the
tongue was pricked with pin. and the face
made a grimace indicative of pain. The
second was that of woman. The eyes were
open. and their supplieating looks were ae.
compsnied by many tears. Fourteen min,
utes after the execution the eyes turned to.
wards the side from whence the woman's
name was called. A third head was tha. Of
the most guilty of criminals A slap was
given to the face, when the eyes opened, the
face flushed with an indescribabe exp. ession
of anger and ferocity, and a shudder of an,
guish was visible on the neck being touched.

The RULING PASSION STRONG IN DEATH

THE RULING PASSION STRONG IN DEATH.-
Historians tell US that Henry VII. was re-
markably avaricious. As he advanced in life
he became more covetous he Eeaped up a
far greater store of gold and jewels, it is said,
than any of his predecessors. Even when at
tackled by mortal disease, he was actively en-
gagged in his employment. But at the APP
proach of death he was filled with fear, and
the closing act of his life clearly shows his
avarice for he ordered that two thousand
masses should be said for the repose OF his
soul. at sixpenee apiece. He did better when
he directed the debts of all persons to be paid,
in London and Westminster, who were I'M
prisoned for forty shillings or under; and
that restitution should be made to those from
whom his agents had taken more than the
law should warrant.

The Beloved Wife.

Only let a woman be sure that she Is prs-
eious to her husband-not useful, not vaiua-
bic, not convenient, simply, but lovely and
beloved; let her be the recipient Of his polite
and hearty attentions let her feel that her
care and love are noticed, appreciated and
returned; let her opinion be asked. her a. :
proval sought, and her Judgment respected
IN matters of which she is cognizant: in short,
let her only be loved. honored and cherished
in fultillment of the marriage vow. and she
will be to her husband, and children, and
society, a well-spring of pleasure. She will
bear pain, and toll. and anxiety for her hus-
bands love is to her as a tower and a for.
tress. Shielded and sheltered therein, ad :
versity will have lost its sting. She NAV suf.
fer, but sympathy will dull the edge of her
sorrow. A use with love in it-and by
love, | mean love expressed in words, and
looks. and deeds, for have not one spark of
faith in the love that never crops QUITS to a
house without love, as person to machine;
the one is life, the other mechanism.
The unloved woman may have bread Just
as light, house just as tidy as the other,
but the latter has a spring of beauty about
her, a joyousness, an aggressive and pene-
trating and pervading brightness, to which
the former is stranger. The deep happiness
in her heart shines out in her face She is a
ray of sunlight in the house. She CLEANS all
over it. 1t is airy, and gay, and graceful,
and warm, and welcoming with her presence.
She is full of devices, and plots and sweet
surprises for her husband and family. She
has never done with the romance and poetry
of life. She is herself lyric poem, setting
herself to all pure and gracious Melodies
Humble household ways and duties have for
her a golden significance. The prize makes
the calling high and the end dignifcs the
means. Her home is paradise, not sinless,
not painless, but still paradise for g Love
is Heaven, and Heaven is Love-"

SENsIBILITY OF CoNquEsoR.-The morn.
ing after the battle of Waterloo, DR.. Hume
waited upon the Duke of Wellington to report
the list of the killed and wounded, and to
take his directions. He found him worn out
with fatigue. and buried in deep slumber.
When awakened he was ready for the duty.
and commanded the doctor to read the list.
which took him more than an hour. The
doctor looked up once, and saw the Iron Duke
wringing his hands in sorrow. while the big
tears rolled down his cheeks. Though know,
ing that his country would 5e intoxicated
with JOY at what he had achieved. and would
be ready to load him with the highest honors,
he displayed no thought of personal glory,
and no unbecoming exultation over a fallen
enemy, but felt as a man who had discharged
solemn duty at painful sacrifice of human
life and happiness.

A VAST GRAVE YARD.-The fields over
which the battles of the Antietam ragged, are
dotted in every direction with graves These
graves are generally very shallow, and it
will be difficult hereafter to turn up the soil
to any depth without disturbing the bones of
those who repose in them. Many unexploded
shells have also buried themselves beneath
the surface. and if these should come in v.o-
lent contact with the plow-coulter, they
would certainly explode, and render ploving
a very unsafe work in such soil.
