that our forces occupy Tuscumbia, and
there are but few rebels in this vicinity
Still reinforcements are going forward

is we cannot get news here that is relia-

~ Powers, the sculptor, writing to a
friend on what people call the folly Of mar
rying without the means to support fam
lily, expresses frankly his fears when he
found himself in this very position; but he
adds, with characteristic candor: "To tell
the truth, however, family and poverty
have done more to support me than have
to support them. They have compelled me
to make exertions which hardly thought
myself capable of; and often when in the
eve of despairing they have forced me like
a coward in corner to fight like hero
not for myself but for my wife and little
ones" ... ... .. ...

Midnight.

Midnight.
Hufeland, in his treatise on sleep, has
some curious as we'll as forcible ideas on
the necessity Of devoting midnight to rest
and sleep. He considers the period of
twenty-four hours, which is produced by
the regular revolution of the earth upon its
axis, marks its influence most definitely on
the physical economy of man. Diseases
show the regular influence in their daily
rise and fall. Settled, regular fever exhibits
twenty.four hours fux and reflux. In
the healthful state there is manifest the
same regular influence, and the more habit
ual our meals, our hourse Of exercise and
employment, and hours of sleep, the more
power is in the system to resist disease
In the morning the pulse is slow and the
nerves calm, and the mind and the body
better fitted for labor. As we advance to.
wards the evening of the day, the pulse
becomes accelerated, and an almost feverish
state is produced, which, in excitable per-
sons, becomes an absolute evening fever
Rest carries off this fever by its sleep, and
the refreshing opening Of the pores, which
sleep produces. In this nightly respiration
there is an absolute crisis of this evening
fever, and this periodical crisis is necessary
for every individual, as It carries off what.
ever useless or pernicious particles our
bodies have imbibed. This evening fever
Hufeland thinks, is not entirely owing ia
the accession of new chyle to the system
but to the departure OF the sun and of the
light. The crisis of this fever, to be most
effective by It's regularity, ought to take
place at midnight, when the sun is in its
nadir and the body will become refreshed
for the early morning labor. Those who
neglect this period, either push the diurnal
crisis into the morning and thus undermine
the importance Of its regularity, or lose it
entirely, and arise to labors unrefreshed by
sleep. Their bodies will not have been
purified by the crisis, and the disease will
have thus been planted. Nervous people
are peculiarly subject to the influence Of
this evening fever, and they think they can
not labor without its excitement. Hence
their mental efforts are performed in the
night alone; the important time for the
crisis Of their nervous excitement passes
over in wakefulness, and no refreshing
perspiration cleanses the body or strength.
ems the nerves. Such people will wear out
soon, unless they change their habits and
seek rest when nature and the human con.
stitution dictate. These considerations
ought to be deeply studied and regarded by
all who are in the habit Of turning night
into day, and of changing the functions OF
both. A failure of health will soon manifest
the truth of these remarks.

The Soldiers Burial.

To the friends Of James Wood Ct 60. "K" fir
Iowa Cavalry who died at Forsyth Mo. Jan. %, 1856
hese lines respectfully inscribed by J. W. Rnsle
Hark a mufied drum Is beating
Near newly opened grave;
And our Chaplain Is repeating,
'Christ hath died, o world to save"
While band of soldiers, wearing
Marks of sorrow, slowly come,
And before them they are bearing
Ayoung comrade to the tomb.
Death hath come, and claimed another
OF our little warrior band,
And We must resign our brother,
To his over grasping hand.
On they bear him, sadly, slowly,
With aheavy, mournful pace,
And within the grave SO lowly
He doth find resting place.
Now the earth Is placed upon him,
He is freed from care and pain;
And We, who have learned to love him,
Ne'er shall see his smile again.
Ns'er again, at early morning,
When the Bugle sounds for oil,
Or At the "Alarm's quick Warming"
Will he answer at "Roll Call"
Now the "Farswell shot" is fred,
The last mournful prayer IL said,
Aud his comrades have retired,
He Is numbered with the Dead.
bright emile his lips we're wreathing
As his spirit passed away
Gently Is an infants breathing
At the close OF summers day.
stood by while he was dying,
Held his thin and wasted hand,
And scarce could keep from crying
When he spoke fths Home 8and.
"Tell my Brother, when you meet him,
"That for Liberty died;
"And one day hope to greet him
"With my Mother, side BY side.
"Tell my Sister not to mourn me
''Ged our Father, knows what's best;
Even hath his love upborne me,
And sosn shall be at rest.
SnSui0 you ever meet my Brother,
"Givs to him my dying Love-
"aear on earth, have no Mother
''shs Is waiting me above.''
On the banks of the White River
Our young comrads lowly lies;
But he shall not sleep forever,
God will call him to the skies.
When the "Roll Call'' sounds in heaven,
He, among the first. will come,
And to him shall then bs given
most joyful welcome Home.
Now he rests within valley.
Mid the stiffness SO profound,
But We know his soul will ''rally''
When the last great trump shall sound.
Nobly hath he done his duty,
And tis said that such are b!est.
Nov, in all his youthful beauty,
He has gone to take his rest.
God hath called him up to heaven,
That blest land Of joy and light,
And to him hath now been given
The reward of doing right.
Meier Is heard the sound of battles
On that bright aud peaceful shore;
Cannon's roar, or rifles rattle
Never shall disturbe him more.
Then farewell, but not forever,
For We soon shall meet again,
When we've crossed deaths silent river,
And are freed from sins dark STAIN
Yes, farewell. friend, till we meet thee
On brighter, fairer shore,
There in blissful Joy to greet thee,
Where "farewells" are heard no MORE

posing that he kicked it with his foot, and
the animal, astonished at such rudeness on
