re- 1t is not true, as reported, for a
sinister purpose, through certain tory
sheets, that there are $4,000 or $1,000
sick soldiers in the hospitals in New AL
bany. There are but few thousand
more than that number of souls in New
Albany, including sick soldiers, inhabit-
ants and contrabands.
These falsehoods are circulated with
design by these sympathizing sheets.
0- The singular and indeed unpre-
cedented spectacle of thirty-seven per-
sons beng simultaneously hung, was
witnessed by vast crowd at Mankato,
Minnesota, on Friday, Dec. 26th, in the
execution of the convicted Indians.
Thirty-eight were executed, all drop
ping at the same instant, but one Of
them broke the rope and fell to the
ground, but was Immediately hung up
again.

Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1863-10-12
FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE.
THE TWO LIFE-PATHS.

At the close of sultry August day, I
left my hotel in E., where l had arrived
but a few hours previous, for walk
down to che lake-shore re'-a favorite walk |
it'had been years since when [ was
student at the P Academy. About a
fiurlong down the lane that led thither,
there had stood, not long since, an old |
mansion, and around it were still evi-
dences of taste apd cultivation the
woodbine, the jessamine, and the sweet
brier-these still fourished in unshorn
luxuriance. And arrived near in full
view of the lake on one side and the viii
lage on the other, paused to enjoy the
prospect, when yielding to the influence
of the place and the time, memory soon
wandered free over the scenes of the
past, and, in fancy, was youth again.
There are memories, sunny memories
they are in the main, which indellibly
fixed in the heart of child, will linger
there with holy and soothing influence,
long after the frosts of age have wither-
ed all memory of, perhaps, more impor
tant events of later life The merry,
care free laugh of the lad, who with US,
trod daily the pleasant path to the old
school house-the happy exclamation of
delight by the rosy checked sis, who
would stop for every violet and Snow
drop on the way, exulting over them as
over rich treasures-in moments of
thoughtfulness, now they rise on the
mind of the weary seeker after happi-
ness. But how few of those with whom
we start in life, can we keep in view
through their changeful careerl |
thought of this as l looked again over
the familiar scene, while two in particu-
lar of those who were schoolmates here,
were called to mind-Emerson Carroll
} and Frederic Gray and one incident o.
school, may illustrate their respective
characteristics.
y At-the end of term, which was tt
close with "a public exhibition, prizes
: were announced for the best defamation
and Carroll and Gray, from their of
, shown talents and ambition, were looked
upon as the chief competitors. On th'
. evening in question, after the usual va.
riety of pieces, Gray recited bis, an ex
[ tract from 'Othello'-- and such an Othell
\ probably never before so confounded tn
i previously formed conceptions of lis
tening audience-the gestures fierce an
|, not always we'll timed-in fact, as one {

yet he could not willy discredit her
words. When he reaed home he threw
himself upon a bed great perplexity,
and, feigping sleep, stdied over the mat.
ter in his own mind. His wife, thinking
this good opporturty for cutting off
the obnoxious hair, pek her husbands
razor and crept softlto his side. Now
the old lady was yer much frightened
at holding razor solose to her hus-
bands neck, and her hand was not so
steady as it once was-so between the
two, she went to worl very awkwardly
and pulled the hairs istead Of cutting
them off. Mr.. B. opeed his eyes, and
there stood his wife With razor at his
throat After what ad been told him
and seeing this he coul not doubt that
she intended to murderhim. He sprang
from the bed in horror, and no explana-
ton or entreaty couldconvince him to
the contrary. So from that time forth,
there was no more peac for that house.

all the time.
With delight the Dvil heard of the
success of his faithful .enissary, and sent
her word that if she wmld meet him at
the end oil the lawn, certain time, he
would pay her the shoes.
At the appointed time she repaired to
the spot, and found thedevil at the place.

of the fence, handed them over to her.

her children, the young Scandalizers, were
left orphans, but the Devil, in considera
ton of past service done by the mother
adopted them, and so you see he is th'
father of that respectable class called
