THREE SAD DAYS.

The smile Of Autumn on the hills
In golden radiance lay,
And all the running brooks ana rills,
Sung solemn songs that day,
When sadly from our shadowed home,
Our soldier went away.
The hills Of Hagerstown were flushed
With glory from afar,
The summer evening calm and hushed
Welcomed the coming star.
They led him from the battlefield,
A prisoner Of war.
When footsteps Of the winter lay
On Richmond's living tomb,
God led him to the realms Of day,
From suffering and gloom.
Upon his foes his righteous lips
Shall speak righteous doom.

AIR PoIsoN,--People have often said
that no difference can be detected in
the analyzation of pure and impure
air. This is one of the vulgar errors
difficult to dislodge from the public
brain. The fact is, that the condensed
air of crowded room gives a deposit
which, il allowed to remain a few days
forms a solid, thick, glutinous mass,
having strong odor of animal matter.
If examined by the microscope, it is
seen to undergo remarkable change.
First of all, it is converted into veg
etable growth, and this is followed by
the production of multitudes Of ami
malcules; decisive proof that it must
contain organic matter, otherwise it
could not nourish organic beings This
was the result arrived at by DIR. Angus
Smith, in his beautiful experiments on
the air and water of towns, where he
showed how the lungs and skin gave
out organic matter, which is in itself q
deadly poison, producing headache
sickness, disease, or epidemic, accord
ing to its strength. Why, If "a few
drops of the liquid matter, obtained
by the condensation of the air of fou
locality, introduced into the vein of (
dog, can produce death with the usua
phenomena of typhus fever what in
calculable evil must it not produce o.

The LADYs REPENTANCE. In the life
Of DIR. Rallies, just published, the fol-
lowing story was told in connection
with a preaching journey in 1914. On
our way from Wem to Hawkestonewe
passed house, of which Mr.. Lee told
me the following occurrences ga
young lady. the daughter of the owner
of the house, was addressed by a man,
who, though agreeable to'her, was dis
liked by her father. OF course The
would not consent to their union, and
she determined to elope. The night
was fixed, the hour came, Replaced the
ladder to the window, and in few
minutes she was in his arms. They
mounted double horse, and were
seen at some distance from the house.
After while the lady broke silencesby
saying: well, you see what proof
l have given you of my affections I
hope you will make me a good hus-
band He was surly fellow and
gruffiy answered Perhaps may, and
perhaps not.i1 She made him no reply,
but after silence of some minutes,
she suddenly exclaimed: 20! what
shall we do?rI I have left my money
behind me in my ROOM Then said
he, we must go back and fetch it. ;
They were soon again at the house, the
ladder was again placed, the lady re-
mounted, while the ill-natured lover
waited below. But she delayed to
come and SO he gently called !. Are
you coming when she looked out of
the window and said :l'Perhaps may.
and perhaps not : then shut down the
window, and left him to return upon
the double horse alone Was not that
a happy thought on the lady's part-a

a was told this morning that over eight
Kindred deserters came overin body.
This hegira took place on the extreme
fright of the rebel position. They were
|marched up to the Office of the Pro-
|svost Marshal General, and related the
same tale of sadness and woe that
hangs over the doomed city of Rich
mond. 1t seems that number of these
descrters were fresh from Richmond,
not having been absent from there over
twenty hours. Despite all the predic-
tons of the Northern press, the as
sertions of which had been canvassed
most Tia oroughly, the rebel authorities
believed the triumph of Mcclellan a
sure thing The Houses of Congress
so believed, and now they find their
flHacy. Added to the hopelessness OF
their cause, which is now rendered
doubly sure, the Houses of Congress
are divided ON the question of the en-
ployment Of NEGRO soldiers in the army.
Many quarrels have already privately
arisen, and many more are likely to
arise. The Sposswood House was the
scene Of fight on Sunday last between
member from Georgia and one from
Virginia, the latter maintaining that
negroes should be armed, the former
that they should not. The Georgian
threatened division Of the Confeder-
acy, and said he would be upheld by
his constituents. Davis opinion on
the su hject is not known; he vascillates
between con sent and dissent. The
Richmond papers advise it by all
means, and are using such pungent
language as to see no hope for success
unless it is immediately done"
