PoETRY.-Ebenezer Elliott says: "Poetry,
like truth, is common flower; God has
sown it over the earth like daisies, sprinked
with tears glowing in the sun, even as he
places the crocus and the March frosts to-
gether, and beautifully mingles live and
death"

TIE lIUMAN Pulse Tho human pulse has
in all ages been consulted rs an index oi
he,lth or disease. II is kind of dial with
in us whicl, gives US both the measure OF
time and OF health. The pulse of u person
in health heats about seventy strokes in u
minute, and tho ordinary term Of lite is about
seventy years. In this seventy years, the
pulse Of temperate person beats two bill
lion, FIVE hundred and seventy-fodr millions,
four hundred and f,rty thoussnd times. II
no actual dsorginiz,tion should happen. u
drunken person might live until his pulse
beat this number of times; but by the con-
slant stimulus Of ardent spirits, or by pulse
quickening food, the pulse becoming greatly
accelerated, the two billion, five hundred and
sevcnty.iour million. four hundred and forty
thousand pulsations, are performed in little
mprc than half the ordinary term of human
life. and life goes out in lorty or forty'five
years instead Of seventy. This application
of numbers is given to show that the acccler
alton of those forces diminisles the term Of
human lifs.-Mediedi Journal.

How A SOLDIER DIEp.-The following In.
cidcnt occurred at tho City Point Hospital o
few days since: '.l
"a chaplain Of the Christian Commission,
while moving through the long line Of suffer
ers, administering the consolation Of the gos-
pei, approached the bedside Of a,gallant fel-
low, who was severely wounded. His earth.
" march was nearly ended; but when the
chaplain asked him II ho was prepared TO
die. he motioned for pencil and paper, and
with trcmulous hand wrote, Il am prepared
to 90 to heaven {; my trust in Jesus Is per-
fect'-and Immediately under these words Of
assured victory over the grave, Come rally
round tho flag, boys Tho chaplain took
the paper. and standing up, read II with o
loud voice. Just M he concluded, soldier
who had recently lost hand sprang from
his bed, and waving the mutilated stump in
the air. burst forth with the glorious song
his dying comrde suggested. The effect was
electric. A thousand voices took up the
chorus. and the place Of suffering was made
to fairly rock with thunder Of melody. AS
that vast soldier choir ceased singing. the
chaplain turned to look upon the dying brave.
Ho was just in time to catch tho last faint
smile that flickcred across the sunburnt face,
as the soul was waited on the strains Of that

we recommend to future exhibitors to this
Fair that they attach to the articles exhibit
cd any interesting facts concerning them,
such as. Of what materials composed, the cost,
whether raised in the country or where. and
whether they have heretofore received the So.
ciety's premium on the article. We hope in
future Fairs to see much larger contributions
of all kinds of goods and yarn made from
wool, and any made from fax and silk raised
in the county. Be sure to contribute large
iy. to show what is being done in domestic
manufacturing. We know much has been
done among us the last year.
We hope to see more articles from appren-
ticcs in the different lines of business, to tes.
tify to their good training and aptitude to
their business.
