A DIscoRD IN MusIc.-We gave the 9th.
er day part Of an anecdote concerning a
secesh female in church in Norfolk. few
Sundays since. The whole is too good to
be lost, and we give 1t as narrated by the

who did not see inc when I entered, and
was unconscious Of the proximity of a
'Hessian.' In full, sweet voice, she
sang

FETCHING THE GANE.--A good thing is
told Of Capt. Gwynn, of the Tyler, who
was sent up the Yazoo to look for the Ar
kansas. He disappeared on his errand,
with his old wooden gunboat, which is not
strong enough to fight anything that car
ries guns, and the next that was seen Of
him he came tearing down around the point,
with the Arkansas in his rear, putting balls
through his wooden stern at every shot,
His stern-chasers were blazing away man"
fully, with as little effect on the iron walls
Of his antagonist as could be imagined, and
he ushered the enemy in in fine style. He
said, afterward, that he was like the man
sent out Of camp to procure game Tor
breakfast. He w-nt out to look for rabbits
and prairie chickens, and met a grizzl..-
bear, who froze to bis coat-tail and caused
precipitate retreat. Rushing back to
camp with the hear in close proximity, he
astoni>hed his comrads by an uproariOusly
sarcastic introduction. "liere, boys" he
cried, as the grizzly bounded into the
camp, "rve fetched the game"

liam harp catches the air that would creep
by wIthouta witness, to make it tell how
bad it is in this sad earth Of ours. Man
makes music by stroke on cymbal or drum;
by breathing into instruments, H. it were,
an efflnx OF his own spirit, as God once
breathed into mans nostrls the breath Of
life, and made him living soul. Most Of
all, does our race pour forth melody in the
exquisite variations Of the human voice,
whose tones rise as far above all other
sounds as man rises above all other earthly
creatures
Wide as the universe, and far reaching
as the plenitude of souls that bear Gods
image, is the realm Of music. Music and
shadows, and images Of music, are born in
every Nesting place Of sound. Music is
more natural to man than speech. We all
slug sooner than we talk. The babe d.
verts itself with its own cooings and musi-
cal niurmurings, long before it attempts to
speak and feels the power Of a mothers
lullaby before it comprehends the words.

ENGAGING MANNERS.

There are a thousand pretty, engaging little
ways, which every person may put on without
running the risk OF being deemed either affect
cd or fopish. The sweet smile. the quiet, cor
dial bow, tho earnest movement in addressing
friend, Inore especially stranger whom
one may recommend to our good regards, the
inquiring glance, the graceful attention which
is so captivating when unitetl to self possession
these will insure us the good regard of even a
churl. Above all, there is a certain softness
Of manner which should be cultivated and
which in either man or woman, adds charm
that almost eatirely compensates for lack OF
beauty. The voice can be modulated go to in
tomato that il win speak dir,ctly to the heart
and from that elict an answer; and poIituness
may be made essential to our nature. Nci-
ther is time thrown away in attending to such
things, Insignificant Us they may seem to
those vino engage in weightier matters.

Rules for Winter.

Never go TO bed with cold or damp feet.
| In going into cold air, keep the mouth reso-
lutcly closed, that lly compelling the air to pass
| cirenilously through the nose and head. it may
/ become warmed before il reaches the lungs,
and thus prevent those shocks and Sudden
chills which frequently end in pIeurisy, preu'
monia, and other serious forms of disease.
Never sleep with the head in the draft OF
an open door or window
Let more cover be on the lower limbs than
on the body. Have an extra covering within
easy reach in case ola sudden and great change
OF weather during the night.
