That Challenge.

The last Irasburs Express contained some
rather rich developments respecting the chal-
lense of their neighbor Earle Of the Stand
ard to enlist. 1t appears from the Express
history that Earle accepted the challenge, but
on reflection was sorry, aud finally. after be-
ing waited on and escorted to the examina-
ton officer, backed square down on hearing
the opinion of the surgeon that one of the
editors of the Express might be exempted
on account of i'll health. SO Uncle Sam

A LIFE PICTURE-What are half the
rebuffs we receive in our daily converse
with the world but the echoes of our own
voice? We invoke the spirit of contradic-
ton, and then chafe under the treatment
we experience at its hands.
Hear the story of the child that went
forth into the mountain ravine. While the
child wandered there, he cried aloud to
break the loneliness, and heard voice
which called to him in the same tone He
called again, and he thought the voice again
Knocked him. Flushed with anger, he
rushed to find no one. He then called out
to him in anger, and with all abusive cpl
tbets, all of which were faithfully returned
to him. Choking with rage the child ran
to his mother, and complained that boy
in the woods had insulted him with words.
But the mother took her child by the hand
and said
My child, these names were but the ech-
oes of thine own voice. Send forth snn-
shine from the spirit, and thou shalt never
have cloudy day. Garry about a vindc-
tive spirit and ever in the flowers shall lurk
curses Thou shalt receive even what thou
givest and that alone always, said the
speaker, is that child in the mountain pass
es, and every man and woman is that
child

A Paranhrase.

Who is this that comes from Edom,
Clothed in majessy sublime;
This, whose crown of mortal splendor,
Lights the hoary hills of Time;
In the purple tints of Bozrah
Are his royal limbs arrayed,
And the sunsets flashing beauties
Fall before His smile and fades
am He--who hath redeemed thee
From the death that never dies,
He whose blood was freely given
For all sin sacrifice.
am He, the death Amounted,
Mighty in my strength to save,
He whose arm hath burst asunder
The dark chamber Of the grave.
Glorious are the Sons of Morning
Wherefore are thy garments red,
Like the raiment of the winners
When the bleeding press they tread
have gathered in the vintage,
l, alone, the wine-prcss trod,
IND mine arm hath smote the id!ers
In the vineyards of my God,
When cried aloud for helpers
In the valleys there were none,
And the hot winds Of the desert
Answered from the hills alone
Therefore, in my righteous anger,
| have tramplcd on their pride
Therefore are my kingly garments
In the blood of nations dyed.

How THEY FIRE IN BATTLE. An a

How THEY FIRE IN BATTLE.-An ar
my correspondent says:
-'You wonder whether the regiments fire
regular in a volley or whether each man
loads and fires as fast as he can. That de-
pends on circumstances, but usually, ex-
cept when the enemy is near at hand, the
regiments fire only at the command of their
officers. You hear a drop, drop, drop, as
few of the skirmishers fire, followed by
a rattle and roll which sounds like the fall
ing of building, just as some of you have
heard the brick walls tumble at great
fire. Sometimes, when a body of the enc
tmy's cavalry are sweeping down upon a
regiment to cut it to pieces the men form
into square, with the officers and mus-
clans in the centre The front rank stands
syith bayonet charged, while the second
rank fires as fast as it can. Sometimes,
they form in four ranks deep-the front
ones Ikneeling with bayonets charged, so
that if the enemy should come upon them,
they would run against picket fence of
bayonets. When they form in this way,
the other two ranks load and fire as fast as
they can. Then the roar is terrific, and
many horse and his rider goes down be-
fore the terrible storm of bullets"

CONFEDERATE PATRIoTIsM.-A late
number of the Richmond Eraminer, in
speaking of the use of the negroes by the
Confederates, contains the following:
''It appears that shareholders are averse
for some reason TO hire their negroes in the
Confederate army. The prejudice is GER
tainly an ignorant and mean one AS the
war originated and is carried on in great
part for the defense of the STAKEHOLDER in
his property rights and the perpetuation of
the institution, it is reasonable to suppose
that he ought to be first and foremost in
aiding and assisting, by every means in his
power, the triumph and success of our
arms. Good wages are offered, and proper
care and attention wall be given every ne
gro hired to the army, and the STAKEHOLDER
ought to remember that for every negro he
thus furnishes, he puts soldier in the
ranks.

SIX MILES HIGH.-Two @ronauts, Messrs.
Glaisher and Coxall, recently made an ascension
from London, in a mammouth balloon. They
reached the great altitude of five miles and three
quarters. Water was converted into ice at the
height of two miles, and at five and three-quar-
ters the circulation Of the sytem was almost
wholly stopped and the eyesight failed, and the
skin became black. The ascension was made for
scientific purposes, and was one of the greatest
peril.
