HARD ON New ENGLAND.-The N. Y.
Tribune says that the government is pay
ing off in Washington discharged pri-
Yates at the rate Of two regiments week,
and officers who have thrown up their
commissions and had them promptly &C
ccpted at the rate Of thirty day. The
officers are of that sort that should have
never entered the service, and whom Gen.
Hooker is rapidly wedding out of it. The
privates are mostly the nine e-months beau.
ties who enlisted for fat bounties, and
took into the service neither health, pa
triotism, nor honesty. All the nine
months men came from the Eastern
States, being Abolitionists who would not
volunteer for the war under any circum-
stances, and were only induced to enter
the service for this short time through
fear of the draft.

WATER WoRKs.-The old Roma aque-
ducts, for supplying that city with water
in the days Of its glory, when compared
with the greatest Of modern works Of
this kind, dwarf them into insignificance.
Rome had one aqueduct-Aqua Apia-
ten miles long, all under ground; another
-Anio Vetus-forty-th miles long
and nearly all under ground also another
Aqua Marcia-was fifty miles long, and
the Anio Nevus, fifty-ninc miles long, with
arches 100 feet high. There were also
four other aqueducts, amounting TO nine
altogether, for supplying Rome with wa
ter by gravitation, for there were no
steam engines in those days to pump it
up from the adjacent river Tiber for city
use, as is now done at Philadelphia, Chi
caso. Cleveland and other of our cities.
The noblest work Of modern engineer
ing for supplying any city with water is,
undoubtedly, the Croton Water Works
of New York. Its artificial tunnel is
carried over valleys, through hills, aud
over rivers, distance of forty miles. -
The work is stupendous, to be sure, for it
carries condensed river from the noun
tains into the city, but compared to the
old Roman water tunnels it is not so
much 10 boast of.
The city of Montreal has finished some
great works of engineering for supplying
itself with water in the same manner as
the city of Philadelphia, by employing
the water power of the river to pump it.
self up to an elevated reservoir. The wa
ter from the st. Lawrence, Immediately
above the rapids, is conducted by canal
FIVE miles long to basin, where, two
large wheels, Sc feet in diameter, work
force pumps, which drive the water thro'
iron pipes for about three miles to a
double reservoir, situated in the mountain
behind the city, at height of 200 feet
above the river level The reservoirs of
Montreal contain 2O,O00,000 gallons, and
were cut out Of the solid rock From an
elevation of 200 feet the water is conduct
ed through the whole city.

We give the following from Rochester
Journal, to illustrate to the gentle reader
the style Of tongue-lashing in which some
hard.hearted editors indulge, leaving the
author of it to the tender mercies Of the
indignant fair:
Young women are full Of tears. They
will weep as bitterly for the loss Of new
dress as the loss Of an old lover. They
will weep for anything or for nothing
They will scold you to death for acciden-
tally tearing a new gown, and weep for
spite if they cannot be rcvengcd on you.
They will play the coquctte in your pres.
ence, and weep when you are absent
They will weep because they cannot go to
ball or to tea party, or because their
parents will not permit them to run away
with villain, and they will weep because
they cannot have everything their own
way. Married women weep to conquer.
Tears are the most potent arms of matri.
monial warfare. IL gruf husband has
abused his wife, she weeps, and he repents
and promises better behavior. Women
weep to get at their husbands secrets, and
they also weep when their own secrets
have been revealed. They weep through
pride, vanity, folly, cunning and weak.
ness. They will weep for husbands
misfortuncs, while they scold him. A
woman will weep over the dead body of
her husband, while her vanity will ask
her neighbor how she is fitted with her
mourning! The Widow of Ephesus' be-
dewed the grave Of her spouse with one
eye, while she squinted love to = young
soldier with the other"

"MrsrEREp INA Joke is told bv tho

"MrsTERED IN."-A joke is told by the
boys Of one ofthc regiments Of the army,
in rcgurd to the mastering in of dar-
key attached to the regiment, who was
fearful he would be deprived Of his pay
unless he was regularly joined to the
service. A huge mustard plaster was
applied to his back, about foot below
where the buttons Of his coat are placed,
aud, under the bcliefth that all soldiers were
served in the same manner, he wore it
until the pain became uncomfortable, at
which time he was declared mustered

! NUMBER 2I.

PUSH ON.-The following extract from
the writings of John Neal nay have met
the eyes Of many of our readers betOres
It is worth repeating, and the truths tt
contains are worth remembering:
There are people who, having begun
life by setting their boat against the wind
and tide, arc always Just ready to give up,
and for that very reason always helpless
and good for rothing. Good voyages are
made both ways. ..
A certain amount Of opposition is .
great help to man. Kites rise against,
not with the wind. Even head wind is
better than nothing. No maRPEeg work
ed his voyage anywhere ma aUsA czfm%
The best wind for anything 10 the long
run Is side wind. fit blows aft, bow
is be to get back!
Let NO man wax rale, therefore, be-
cause of opposition. Opposition is what
he wants and must have to be good for
anything. Hardship is the native soil Of
manhood and self-reliance. He that cam
not abide the storm without tlinching or
quailing, strips himself in the sunshine,
and lays down by the wayside, to be
overlooked and forgotten.
He who hut braces himself up to the
struggle, when the winds blow, gives up
when they are done and falls asleep in the
stiffness that follows.
Did you ever know anybody to stick to
any kind Of business, no matter how uD-
promising, ten years at most, who did not
prosper! No matter how bad it might
be in the beginning, if he stuck to it ear
nestly and faithfully and tried nothing
else, no matter how hard he may have
found it sometimes to keep his head
above water, still, if he persevered, he al
ways come out right in the long run.

GOVERNMENT contractors, who are max
ing their fortunes out Of the war, have
fearful responsibility resting upon their
shoulders, and the people may yet call
some Of them to an account for the part
they are acting. Why should they want
the war to cease? They never in the
whole course of their lives were making
money as fast as now. Money is the
great god. Men will sell their lives, aye,
Souls, for money. Patriotism is obsolete,
a thing Of the past. Self.intcrest is the
governing element, and until the people
the masses-thosc who are suffering from
a continuance Of hostilities by the en-
hanced cost Of living and the prostratioD
of business-by the final destruction
which threatens the nation-until they
become aroused and assert their rights
and power, and put down corruption, just
SO long may we expect 10 see hostilities
continue. 1t is asserted by those in po-
sition to know, that frauds to the amount
Of twenty-five million dollars have been
perpetrated upon the government in the
Quartermaster's department alone, to say
nothing Of frauds in other departments.
Contractors are, almost to man, in favor
Of a continuance of the war while there
is pound of paper to print green backs
on. How long this state Of things shall
continue is for the people to say. The
power is in their hands, whenever they
see fit to exercise it.-[Providence Press.

looked was the image of his children, aid
a. he silently gaacd upon them his soul
passed away. When, after the battle, the
dead were being buried, this soldier Gas
thus found. The ambrotype was taken
from his embrace. and has since been sent
to this city fer recognition, Nothing else
