friendship and Fidelity.

Never forsake a friend. When enc
mics gather around-when sickness falls
upon the heart-when the world Is dark
and cheerless-is the time to try true
friendship. The heart that has been
touched with true gold, will double its
efforts when the friend is sad and in
trouble. Adversely tries true friendship.
They who run from the scence of distress
betray their hypocrisy, and prove that in
terest only moves them. If you have
friend that loves you-who has studied
your interest and happiness-be sure to
sustain him in adversely. Let him feel
that his former kindness is appreciated,
and that his love was not thrown away.
Real fidelity may be rare, but it exists in
the heart Who has not seen and
also felt its power? They only deny its
power and worth who have never loved
a true friend. The good and the kind,
the affeetionate and virtuous, see and
feel the heavenly principle. They would
sacrifice wealth and honor to promote
the happiness of others, and in return
they receive the reward Of their love by
sympathizing hearts and countless favors
when they have been brought low by dis
ease or adversely.

An Incident in the Cars.

In a car on a railroad which runs into
New York, few mornings ago, scene
occurred which will not soon be forgot
ten by the witnesses of it. A person
dressed as a gentleman, speaking to n
friend across the car, said
Well. l hope the war may last six
months longer If it does, shall have
made enough to retire from business. In
the last six months Ive made hundred
thousand dollars-six months more, and
l shall have enough"
A lady sat behind the speaker, and
necessarily heard his remark I; but when
he was done she tapped him on the
shoulder, and said to him:
Z" Sir, had two sons-one OF them was
killed at the battle of fredericksburg !;
the other was killed at the battle of Muir
freesboro."
She was silent moment, and so were
all around who heard her. Then, over
come by her indignation, she suddenly
slapped the speculator, first on one cheek
and then on the other, and before the
fellow could say word, the passengers
sitting near, who lad witnessed the whole
affair, seized him, and pushed him hur-
riedly out of the car, as one not fit to ride
with decent people.

From the Springfield (O.) News.
Good Anecdote of Colonel Moody.

"Old Charlie" the veteran OF Il hun
dred battles, tells the following good sto-
ry of Col. Moody at the battle of Muir
freesboro:
"At the point in the battle when our
men were throwing up intrenchments,
the Colonel sent out to plantation in
his vicinity, and pressed about 30 negroes
into the shoveling service. The master,
a Baptist minister formerly from Yer
mont, came to his headquarters and de-
manded why the negroes were taken.-
The Colonel coolly replied that he " had
need of them" and thought that he (the
MASTERY had no particular use for
them just then. The man began to
make great deal of noise-so much. in
fact, that the Colonel ordered him out of
the lines At this the valiant preacher
declared that he wasn't accustomed to be
talked to in that way, and Immediately
drew pistol. Before he had got the in
strument in range Col. Moody planted
his large fist between his eyes, with a
force that lifted him from his feet and
laid him fiat on his back at distance of
several rods. When he came to him
self he picked himself up and left. hay
ing not another word to offer on the sub
ject of his negroes"
Col. Moody, previous to gong into the
army, was an itinerant Methodist Minis
ter, and was loved and respected for his
excellent qualities of head and heart by
all who knew him. He is six-footer,
and powerfully made. A few years since,
while preaching in Western Central Ohio,
he gave umbrage to a celebrated bully,
who announced his intention of giving
the reverend gentleman a raw-hiding.-
For this purpose he visited the Parson
and locked the door, and announced his
intention in an emphatic manner. Mr..
Moody rose from his seat, and drawing
his huge frame to its full height, asked
the fellow if he had reflected well on
what he was doing.
Yes" said the bully.
He then said, "you will recollect am
a Methodist, and Methodist believes in
falling from Grace, and, if during the OPP
Grafton | shall fall from Grace, as l much
fear will, God have mercy on your soul,
for will whip you within an inch of
your life!"
The fellow reflected, begged the Par
sons pardon, and Immediately left.

Attempt to Rescue White Captlves.

1t will be remember that during the
Indian massacres In Minnesota, LITTLE
CRow escaped with his warriors into the
wilds of the West, and carried off white
cap.ives. The government agents have
sought TO regain the latter, and according

ten days journeying, at Painter Port, on

some three hundred lodges nd one thOus-

there were hundred more. The conf

many of their ponies. They have burned

Camp Dennison Hospitals.

We are gratifed in being able to lay
before the public the following letter in
reference 10 the excellent condition of
the hospitals at Camp Dennison. 1t is
exceedingly cheering to know that brave
boys can be so well cared and provided
for in sickness. The letter Is from DR..
Howe, a physician of eminence, and a
member of the Legislature. The friends
Of the soldier throughout the State will
read with satisfaction the well-written
statement of DR.. Howe on this subject;

hours passing through the several wards,

name could find but small occasion for
dissatisfaction.

soldiers of Ohio could have the attention
and comforts of the Hospital ut Camp

eral that soldiers in 4 hospital are not
cared for as they should be. So far us
this Hospital is concerned, that impress
sion is not correct. Ny conviction is
that with the regulation, comfort and care
provided at that Hospital, the sick and
wounded in nine cases out of ten, have a
better prospect of Il speedy recovery, than
they would have at their homes.

Influence of Marriage.

Habit and long life together are more
necessary to happiness, and even to love,
than is generally imagined. No one is
happy with the object of his attachment.
until he has passed days, and above all,
many days of misfortune with her The
married pair must know each other to
the center of their souls-the mysterious
VeIl which covered the two spouses in
the primitive church must be raised in
its inmost folds; howsoever closely it may
be kept drawn to the rest of the world.
The soul of a man as his body, is in
complete without his wife: he has
strength, she has beauty; he combats
the enemy and labors in the field, but he
understands nothing of domestic life
His companion is waiting to prepare his
repast and sweeten his existence. He
has crosses and the companion of his life
is there to soften them. His days NAV
be sad and troubled, but in the chaste
arms of his wife he finds comfort and re-
pose. Without woman man would be
rude, gross, solitary. Woman spreads
around him the flowers of existence. as
the creepers of the forest which decorate
the trunks of sturdy oaks with their per-
fumed garlands. Finally, the Christians
live and die united together they reap
the fruits of their union in the dust
they are united beyond the tomb.

Strange Masculine Superiority.

The last sensation in Paris is man
who has perfect genius for making and
fitting Domen'S dresses. He is called the
Pontiff of the Petticoat. He not only
makes the ladies' dresses, but he puts
the dresses on the ladies. Sometimes as
many as fifty carriages are in front of his
door at the same time, the feminine own
ers being upstairs having their dresses
put on, as dress should be put on.
For cutting dress he charges ten dollars;
for dressing lady he charges fifteen dol
lars for fitting her for dinner, and twen-
ty five dollars for a party.

In this holy hush of evening,
W life's turmoil sinks TO rest;
An - rosy rays Of sunlight
F. ing up the golden west.
OpSa " ide the mystic portal,
Whence bright spirits come and go,
On their missions pure and holy,
To this earth of ours below;
Then my spirit holds communion.
With its loved ones gone before,
Angel hands are there TO guide me
To their bright resplendent shore.
Call il fancy ever weaving
Fairy web for poet dreams,
But the air IS thick with music
Clearer than of ripping streams;
And / seem to hear the rustic
Of the yiewless spirit wings,
Hear a touch of heavenly music,
Swept across some harp's clear strings,
And feel the low breathed blessing,
Soft as kisses on my hair;
On my brow, the blessing fingers,
Driving thence each thought Of care.
And know. among the number
There is one, whose fair broad brow
Wore its earthly crown of laurel,
Meekly, as its pearl crown now,
What the angels in the morning
Called her name in yonder sphere,
" hat her greeting and their welcome,
Is unknown to mortal ears;
But, as erst my soul responded
To her poems, sweet and grand
So tonight, my faith grows stronger
As CLASP her spirit hand.
