attempt of the enemy to scale it was
and the gallant Harker looked
with pride upon his lines, standing or
lying just where they were when the
fight began.
But our troops are no longer satisfied
with the defensive. Gen. Turchin, at
the head of his brigade, charged INTO
the rebel lines and cut his way out
again, bringing with him three humid
red prisoners. Other portions of this
brave band followed Turchin's exam
pie, until the legions OF the enemy
were fairly driven back to the ground
they occupied previousto commencing
the last fight. Thus did twelve OF
fifteen thousand men, animated by he.

leaders, save from destruction the Army

honor them as they deserve 1t!

It is impossible to enjoy the bloom of health,
and yivacity of spirits, unless the Menses reg
ular as to the time, the quantity, and quality.
When they are INSTRUCTED, nature makes her et-
forts to obtain for it some other outlet and unless
these efforts of nature are assisted, the patient
usually experiences Dependency. Nervousness,
and finally CONSUMPTION assumes its sway, and
prematurely terminates miserable life.
