Facts Concerning Reptiles.

Tho number of species Of reptiles is sot
down at 1000, or less than that of nam
mails or birds. Most of them are torres
trial. but some, it is said, can sustain them
selves in tho air. Some reptiles live
habitually in the water swimming by means
of ilattcncd fins, las the turtles,) or by a
thin TAIL rs in crocOdilcs others dwell in
suhtorraucan burrows.
Every degree Of speed is found among
reptiles and while some are fitted for run
ming over dry sand, others are better adapt
cd to climbing trees or ascending smooth
surfaces. Tho means of defense with which
nature has provided reptiles are many, and
although their appearance is sufficient to
tcrrify most other animals, yet they are fur
nishcd with other saieg guards, which render
an attack upon them, to say the least, un-
pleasant. The crocodile and turtle are sur-
liccntly protected against ordinary assaults
The agility of the lizard serves him well,
tor he darts into his hole at the expense,
possibly, of his tail, which is soon repro
duccd. The great boas can prevail over
every foe but man, and the poisonous fangs
of other serpents, and the bristlng spines
of The horned lizard, are amply sufficient to
guard them from the attacks Of predaceous
and other ill-disposed members of the ami
ndl klHSuoUl' IepIllSb arc worry uSelUl 10
man in various ways. Some fulfill the law
of their being by catching insects, while
others serve as food, or supply material
useful in the arts. The muscles of reptiles
are red, though paler than in mammals and
birds: they preserve their irritability for u
long time after death. Tortoises have boen
known to live eighteen days after their
brains have been removed. Life seems in
marked degree independent of the brain,
as they vegetate rather than live; and be.
ing comparatively insensible to pain, they
grow slowly, live long, and are very tcna-
cious Of life. The sense of touch is duh,
whether exercised by the skin, toes, lips,
tongue, or tail. Taste must also be dull, as
the food Of reptiles is swallowed without
mastication. Reptiles cat and drink com
paratively little, and are able to go long
time without food. Most of them are
oviparous, their eggs being hatched by the
heat of the sun. The young, when born,
arc able to provide for themselves, and are
generally Indifferent to the mother, who has
neither the joys nor the sorrows Of ma

soldiers Wives.

Fanny Fern never wrote two paragraphs
which contained more touching truth
than those which follow. Wa transfer
them to our columns, hoping thoir senti-
mcnts may find u response in the hearts of
our readers, while they muse of the absont
ones now subjected to the temptations of
the camp and the dangers of the fight:
What an immense amount of hcroism in
this class passes unnOticed, or is taken as
matter ot course; not only in this most
righteous war which we are waging, hut in
those of all past time. For the soldier, he
has his comrades about him, shoulder to
shoulder; he has praise il ho does well; he
has honorable mention and pitying tears il
he fall nobly striving. But alas for the
soldiers Wife! Even an officers wife, who
has sympathizing friends, who has comforts
and many of the luXuries Of life; whose
childreu's future is provided for if their
father fall; what hours vt dreadful suspense
and anxiety must she pass even in these
favorable circumstances How hard for
her! But Tor the wife of the poor colder,
who in giving her husband to her country
has given everything; who knows not
whether the meal she and her little ones
are eating may not be the last for many a
hungry y-dcsoato--doy; who has no friend
to say "woll done, as the tagging weeks
of suspense creep on, aud she stands brave
y at her post, keeping want and starvation
at bay; imagination deep among the heaps
of dead and wounded, or traversing the
wrechcd prison dcns and shuddering at the
thought of their demoniac keeper; Keeping
down her sohs, as her little daughter trust
fully offers up the nightly prayer for "dcar
papa to como home;" or when her little son.
Just old enough to road traces slowly with
his little fingers the long list of killed and
wounded "to see if fathers name is there :"
shIouding her eyes from tho possible future
of her children, should hor strength give
out under the pressure of want and anxiety;
no friend to turn to when her hand is palsied
with labor; no waving banner nor martial
