For this world is fading Pomp"y,

Mournful though the ripples murnur,

How no vessels float the banner.

Stars and Stripes on slpop and shallop
Sailing up the Tennessee

Softly creeping, aye, and ever,

of our advancing columns. They hurled
hand grenades by the score into our
ranks, and poured grape, canister, and
shrapnal upon us from batteries hitherto
concealed from sight by the treacherous
brush and underground, which entangled
the feet of our brave lads and caused
many Of them to fall an easy prey to the
deadly sharpshootcr. In many ms anccs
regiments were within fifty yards of the
rebel works, but the ground was so steep
thai 1t required longer to climb up than
to " double quick" ten times the
distance. Such regiments as, for in
stance, the 9th or Both Iowa, on the
right Of our center, that had but short
distance to charge, were cut to pieces
The former reports SIX men aud four
n-conmissioncd officers for duty now
but this is very extreme case and the
regiment only numbered 800 men.

How TO CATCH RArs.-In answer to
an inquiry in the London F,eld, sew eral
correspondents of that paper give their
experience as follows:
For the benefit of your readers l will
give by your permission, my experience
on the subject. l was very much troub-
led with rats, and tried every known
dodge for catching them, without sue
cess, until l adopted the following plan
set an ordinary steel trap in their run,
and covered it over with clean buster
or cloth, and within a few hours caught
every rat on my premises. y clean cloth
IS necessary every time the trap is set.
| found butter cloth the best decoy.-
| am informed by my son, who was sta
toned at Bermuda, that a convict was
rewarded for revealing his secret for
catching rats, which was cantharldes
stepped In brandy CTR. Lyttn J but l
cannot make out the number of drops
used. The best way to catch rats wi h
a steel trap is to put the guard up and
lay the trap down as if set; feed the
ra.s for few days, always putting the
meat on the kettleboard they will eat
it and get quite familiar to it then all
at once begin and ca CHI them; wait upon
the trap, and if they have been we'll fed,
they may be taken nearly as fast as it
can be set. have taken by this means
seventeen in one hour, and one time |
had two-one by the nose, and the other
by the forefoot-anl had only one trap
in use.

iddrrss Of Rec. DR.. Smith, the Moderator


The Moderator. Ii Becomes my duty as the
Moderator of this Assembly 10 male a response
to thore courteous, those cordial words which
have como to us from the kinded Assembly
now in session at Peoria. We esteem il a
happy circumstance that these words should he
uticicd to lis, that these feelings should be eX-
pressed to us, by the reverend gentleman who
was the occasion of bringing the subject, in the
form in wnici il finally passed, before that As
seniby last year. 1t is peculiar satisfaction
to us to hear his voice uttering these words,
which speak joy and strength to all our hearts !;
or division, after ALL is weakness, and union is
strength.
The first time that ever came to this city of
phi'adclp hia--thc first time / ever attended a
meeting Of the General Assembly of the Presby-
crian Church was in the year ls37-the year
to which reference has already been madc--thc
yenr in which that grand, noble, powerful
church was shaken to Its ccnter-thc next year
to be Iivcn asundcr. Ii was a tine when men $
hearts were full of anxiety and fear; for, no one
could tell what the rupture of such body
might portend either in church or in state
Since that time we have been separate but still
two powerful growing denominations; for not
even division and separation can prevent the
victorious progress Of our faith and polty in
the lana. Yet Were sundered from orc
another, with no words of welcome from the
ecclesiastical asscmbiagCs to the other-no
words of cheer or comfort dropped except as
individuals, ministers to ministers, and above
all, laymcn to aymcn. But this separation has
been superficial. Deeper than the separation
has been must be the oneness and the unity
The separation belongs to those earthly vest
ments which see corruption; the unity belongs
to that spiritual inheritance which abideth for
evermore. Applause. Through many years
and first of all among the deepest feelings o
the church's heart, this desire for reunion-fol
the united expression of opinion and feeling
has been growing stronger; and now in the
crisis and juncture of our nations history anC
threatened separation, these churches are draw
ing nearer and nearer together; and it may BIZ
that our national troubles shall be sancthed u
| the Church of Christ itself, and unite all tina
love Chrst's name by stronger ties, by undyine
affinity. [Applause.] r..
| Plesbyterians Of whatever branch are separ
ated after all, simply by parenlesis and acct
dent Of temporary nature, Those that hav'
the same standard of faith-those that have tn,
same history-ihose that have the same polit,
those thai have the same ends in view, ar
really one; the differences are nominal an'
temporary. Our Churches, more than we hav
believed, have been one during all these rolling
years, which have witnessed SO many bite
words, which now we will repent Of and asl
God to forgive.

The FALL OF AN AVALANCHE
While we cha ter over the dinner, won
derng how many strawberries go for &
spoonful, terrible roar shakes the cab.
in. Up springs every man, shouting
avalanche d. avalanche !" and out we
60 into the open air. And there, right
opposite, coming down the Jungfrau, is
a most stupendous mass of ice and snow =,
dashing from one precipice to another.
until beaten and crushed into powder, it
PUSHES in one mighty" Niagara" of snow
into the valley. The fall of that ava
lanchc lasts two minutes by the watch.
Its roar would drown the loudest tropical
thunder. At first it was break and
crash, and then, like tramp of millions
of Bu1aloes on the prairie then, at
last, like thousand blasts of artillery.
Though the avalanche is two miles off,
some of us Start back as if we feared the
descending mass would leap over the in
tervening chasm and burst in upon us
But it is only roar, not ruin. The vast
mass of ice and snow precipated itself,
fortunately, into ravine that was per-
fcctly uninhabitablc. But not so with
some others. Sometimes whole forests
are swept away ; and the stu,nps of the
broken trees, after the ruin has passed,
stond up, like the stubble upon the
prairie wheat field after the reaper has
gone over it.-Rep. I. s. Cuyier.

water which will allay our burning
thirst, augments It when CONCEALED into
snow so that Capt. Ross declares the
natives of the Attic regions "prcfer en-
during the utmost extremity of thirst
rather than attempt to remove it by eat
ing SNOW" Yet if the snow be melted,
it becomes drinkable water. Neverthe-
less, al hougb, if melted before entering
the mouth, it assuages thirst like other
water, when melted in the mouth it has
the opposite effect. TO render this par
adox more striking, we have only to re-
member that ice, which melts more slowly
in the mouth, is very efficient in allayine
| thirst. BiackWood.
