Courage.

No man was ever truly grest--no man
ever accomplished great thiBgs-who did
not possess tranquil, steadfast and i'm
NOV able courage When once an opinion
is formed on good grounds when once,
after due delibera,ion, determination is
taken, it should be persisted in at every
hazMd OF personal consequence. 1t is
betteA 10 fall than TO bend--to be taken
than to yield. This secures the respect
and admiration of enemies, il no, their
appreciation and concurrence. The oppo-
site course is as impoilic as it is weak
Defeat then becomes disgrace-misfor-
tune then carries with it degradation.--
The wounds Of the PROSTATE combatant
are all in the back /; his very scars are not
those Of honor but Of shame. To be
weak is miserable. Discontinue is more
certain, and is sullied and aggravated by
contempt. Nothing is ever achieved by
concession as 10 principles. This but
renders triumphing foe more naughty,
insolent and relentless. The best way
10 avoid danger is 10 meet it.
10 a really elevated mind, opposition is
but a stimulus to great exertion--an in
centive TO more strenuous effort. What
merit is there in a victory easily achieved?
What glory is ii 10 triumph over obstacles
that are light--to overpower IN enemy
who is weak Danger is the element of
true greatness--tbe atmosphere in which
be moves and lives and has his being
Resistance but kinGles the resolution OF
exalted courage. Obloquy, misrepre-
sentation, prejudice, ignorance, envy,
passion--these hideous shapes are mere
phanoms which vanish before the glance
of determination, and are at once exposed
and laid open by a voice Of power and
intrepidity.
The Jeffersonian Democrat. [volume] (Chardon, Ohio) 1854-1865, 1863-09-11

NATURE OF CONSUMPTION .-Genuine con-
sumption does not originate in cold. an
inflammation or "a hemorrhage, but in tu-
bercies. And these tuberces are only Sec
ondary causes. The primary cause is GER
tain morbid condition of the organism, and
known OF the tubercular or scrofu!ous ola
thesis. This morbid condition of the gen.
eral system is somewhat hereditary, but is
much more frequently the result Of unphys-
biological habits. Those cases to which our
own errors give rise may be prevented, and
large portion of those who have Inherited
consumptivo taint may, by wise hygiene, be
saved.
Consumption is not a local disease. 1t is
thought to be a malady OF the lungs. This
notion has lead to most OF the mistakes in
its treatment.
Salt rheum appears on the hand. Some
ignorant physicians say it is disease of the
skin
An ointment is applied, tho eruption dis
aPpoare. Soon, perhaps, the same scrofu-
lous taint appears in the form Of tuberclee.
Tho doctor cannot get at it there with his
ointment, and resorts to inhalation. He is
still determined to apply his drug to the To-
cal manifestation
Salt rheum is not disease Of the skin
1t is disease OF the system, showing itself
at the skin. Consumption is not disease
of the lungs. 1t is u disease of the system,
showing itself in tho lungs.

Some of the Compensations.

The Vicksburg correspondent; Of the Chi
cago Tribune states that all the fine rows
OF buildings and residences Of the late
rebel stronghold are the property of the
Government, the Confscation Act hand
ing them over as the property of rebels in
arms. 1t is calculated that abou. 50, ,oOo,-
600 will be the net gain of the Govern
ment from the transfer, an amount that
will cover all the extra expenses Of cap
turing the place, particularly as the enor-
nous amount OF lead and iron put into it
will be saved. The correspondent says
that the Secesh had gathered up all the
solid shot we fired, intending to use them
when their own missiles gave out, or to
cast them over. OF course all this pains
taking s Injured 10 our benefit. There is
also a large amount of lead in the cotton
bales on the Notifications, the Minnie balls
fred by onr sharpshooters. Thus it will
be seen that the cold or hot iron or lead
that Gen. Grant threw into this rebellious
city, was not ali thrown away.

CIsTERNs AND WELLs.-It is probably
not known by most persons that the bot
tom Of cistern. or deep well even, may
be thoroughly inspected for filth or lost
articles by using a common mirror
looking ass.) When the sun shines,
hold the mirror SO that bright light will
be reflected in bright spot at the bottom
Of the water, and pin canbe seen at
depth OF 10 TO 90 feet or more. We have
In this manner seen fishes at the bottom
OF 80 10 40 feet of clear water. II the
sun be bid by intervening objects, use two
or more mirrors to bend the light by
double Or triple reflections to The desired
point. We have thus thrown the light
coming into the dining-room window,
by on mirror through the door into
The kitchen, by another to a corner of the
latter room, and by third mirror cast it
down into cistern sufficiently strong to
see small angleworm at the bottom.

Lengthy resolves of wind and gas,
Much like the bray OF Balaam's ass

Who. when false faction is forgot,
When patriots keep n common thought
Have discord and dissension taught

Who swear 3, BONDAGE, md would SEQ

Who dread tho name Of Liborty

Who hate q freedom loving Press,

Who don't believe in our success

And who. when right has won tho day,

EVERYTHING within us and about us shows
that il never was intended that man should
be idle. Our own health and comfort, and
the welfare and happiness of those around
US, all require that man should labor
Mind, body. soul, all alike sufior and rust
out by idleness; the idler is a source of
mental and morrl offense to everybody
around. lie is nuisance in the world and
needs abatement for the public good, like
another source Of pestilence.

AN ARMY CHAPLAIN, speaking Of the
bravery oi some of our troops, relates
an incident that he saw happen on the
field: A Union soldier was fighting brave
ly after most Of his companions had been
shot down. The chaplain watched him.
He saw a cannon ball strike the soldier
left arm and sever ii between the shOul-
der and elbow. The conclusion turned
the soldier completely round. his arm fall
ing al the distance Of ten feet or more
from where he stood. The chaplain still
watched him, unconsciously to the soldier.
who did moi know that be was regarded
at that moment by any other than the All
Seeing Eye. The soldier looked at his
left side and behelt his bleeding stump
then turning round. he commenced
searching for his discovered arm. He
picked it up. held it for momen, in it.
place then he held it aloft in his rgh
hand. and exul,ingly exclaiming. "Mis Il
my sacrifice to the Union !" he hurled j
with all his might at the retrea,ing foe.
