a Heavy Wager.

The San Francisco "Alta Californian"
gives the following account of a strangely
constituted wager. About ten months
since, two gentlemen of that city agreed
to the following conditions:
If the Federal forces did not capture
Richmond within thirty days from that
date, be was to give his opponent a single
sound eatable apple. If Richmond neio
ont sixty days he was to give him two
apples, and doubling the number for each
month till Richmond was taken-to the
end of time if that event did not occur
before. Nine months have passed since
the first apple was handed over, and tht
list of apples delivered at the end Of the
months are as follows: l, 2, 4, 8, 10, 81
ga. l2S, 256-total GIL. Thus far 1t IS 81

Eat Bread.

When beef is worth twenty-five TO
thirty cents per pound, potatoes two dol
lars a bushel, and other articles offood IN
nroportion, it becomes important to know
what possesses the most nutriment' ana
;s at the same time the most economical.
w W;tbout doubt, that article is Bread, as
the experience of all who live to mans
estate abundantly proves. 1t is the hrst
and almost the only food known to child
ish appetites, and of which children oil a
larger growth seldom tire. A stronger
argument in favor of bread could not be
GIVEN. than that natural, unsatisfied long

As to its nouiishing properties, 1t is assert
ed that it contains three times as much

Of -four gives to the body thirty pounds
Of the substance that makes bones, while
Etbe same quantity of bran gives one hun
dred and twenty pounds. This bony sub
stance is one of the indispensables OF the
human body, and which is thought to bt
impaired by bread in a greater degree
than by any other food, As to its econo'
!. NV. -four is hardly ever as expensive, rel
, stiyely. as meat. Even at the present
time, the price of one pound Of mea
would buy three pounds of -four or bread
Z and those three pounds Of bre ad furnish
5 as much nourishment to the eater as min
l mounds of good roast beef. In dollar
S and cents, three pounds of bread ar
a worth about twenty five cents, and min
{ mounds of beef are worth two dollars an
s twenty-five cents-leavinga a balance {
s two dollars in favor of the bread.

Ths war Department.

B. F. Taylor writes from washington
One of the chief objects of interest to |
stranger, perhaps is the War Department.
He thinks of it as the spot whence the
slender nerves radiate, that move the
mailed and clenched hand of the Govern
ment. and hurl million of men, like
mighty hammers, upon its enemies. And
30, he strells up the Avenue, by the great
white city and stately columns OF the
Treasury; by the sober front OF the State
Department; by the uncertain magnin-
cence of the Presidents Mansions; and
pauses at last before brown brick build
ing, three stories in height, with q little
growth of white columns at the entrance,
and altogether, looking as meek and harm
less as Ladies' Seminary. No trace Of
"the pomp and circumstances" anywhere.
It's Mars horrid front hidden in Qua

and you expect to see group of skirted

10 be married to Miss Mandona Tileston
of Williamsburg, Mass, young lady OF
rare personal attractions and mental en-
dowments. And the qualities both OF
heart and mind which this estimable Ia
dy possessed will be illustrated by sta
ting that during all the time of his inn
prisonment, from November, 1851, to
April, 1864, Mr.. Fairbank was the one
particular object of her thoughts, and all
her devotions Her loving, cheerful, and
hopeful letters were as staff Of life to
him. Though stripped of all his money,
clothing and property, when he was i'm
prisoned, and after his other means
failed, she sent him money with which to
supply his wants. furnished him bed,
bedding, towels, linen and funds, with
which TO supply himself with suitable
food, cafFe. tea, &C., and to supply such
comforts as it was possible to do, and
that he might not be obliged to eat the
miserable prison fare which was supplied
by the warden. She visited him in per
son in 1853, 1855, 1880. 1853, making
constant efforts to procure his pardon.
During the last six years, Miss Tileston
has been residing in Oxford, Ohio. as q
teacher, where she might be near Mr..
Fairbank, and where she could be ena-
bled to furnish him with continued
means. As soon at he was set at liberty
he repaired at once to her place OF resi-
dence, where they were married few
weeks since.
On leaving the prison he was furnished
with IS from prison fund and an old

This world can never tell;

The music Of the heart
The Tyre, the harp, the organs tones
Are full of healing power,
And fall upon the weary soul.
Like dew upon the flower:
But ali along life's journey,
Amid life's busy mart,

The notes may be low and signing,
Like the whispering. evening breeze.

The tear of joy doth start
While wrapt in this holy incense.
