GEN. GRANT AND THE TEAMsTER. A
correspondent Of the New York Illus
ratcd Netcs is responsible for the fol-
lowing:
"While driver was endeavoring to
accomplish a certain result with frac-
tious mule team, along came General
Grant alone and III Ills usual unpre-
tcntious style of dress. Seeing the
transfers trouble he suggested anoth-
en- method Of treatment. The vexed
fellow turned on him with See here,
am ] boss Of this team or are you :?
Paying no attention to this answer,
the General continued his effort to get
him out of his trouble and soon got
further answer. It's my business to
drive this team; if you think you know
more than | do about driving damned
old mule you're damnedly mistaken
Now old man, you'd as well get out Of
this neighborhood ? General Grant
left at once, and a brother teamstei
consolingly remarked Now youwill get
hell-thats General Grant But the
next day he got promoted from team
ster to wagon-master."

UNspoKEN LANGUAGE. How much
expression can be given and exchanged
by grasp of the hand or a glance of
the eyel The soft pressure of the
hand is far more sympathetic than
words. An intercourse with those we
regard, bearing silent yet powerful ev-
idence of that unspeakable love which
exists in our nature, is most eloquent
when the tongue is silent A warm
pressure of the hand can be under
stood by all, young and old; the uni
yersal voice of nature needs no inter
prefer. The power of love is too deep
and too sacred to be adequately ex-
pressed in words; being in fact,a fore
shadowing of that more spiritual com
munion which exists hereafter.

LET EVERY Man READ THIS We
have probably all of us met with in
stances with which n word heedlessly
spoken against the reputation of q
female, has been magnified by mali
cious minds until the cloud has become
dark enough to overshadow her whole
existence To those who are accus-
toned, not necessarily from bad mo-
tives, but from thoughtlessness, to
speak lightly of females, we recommend
these hints as worthy Of consideration :
"Never use a ladys name in an i'm
proper place, at an improper time, or
in mixed company Never make as
sertions about her that you think are
untrue, or illusions that you feel she
herself would blush to hear" When
you meet with men who do not scruplo
to make use of woman's name in a
reckless and unprincipled manner,
shun them, for they are the worst
members of community--every feel
ing of humanity Many good and
worthy woman's character has been
forever ruined and her heart broken
by lie, manufactured by a villain
and repeated where it should not have
been, and in the presence of those
whose little judgment could not deter
them from circulating the foul anC
fiendish report. A SANDER is soor
propagated, and the smallest thing
derogatory to woman's character vii
fly on the wings of the wind, ant
magnify as it circulates, until tn,
monstrous weight brushes the poor
unconscious victim. Respect the nam,
of woman, for your mothers and sisters
are women; and as you would hav
their fair name untarnished, and theil
life unembittered by the slanderers
biting tongues, heed the i'll your owl
words may bring upon the mother, tn
sister, or the wife of some fellow crea
ture.

rY,uE UNITED STATES CHRISTIAN

Of the country, of its work and its wants.
1t cares for the body and the soul, as did Christ
when on earth. by its delegates, who go with
out pay and from love, hospital stores, home
comforts and reading matter are given directly
to those who need them, together with such
personal ministrations and religious instruction
as each case may require and the Gospel is
preached at every opportunity.
In the hospitals, ON the battlc-ieds, and in
the camps Of the strong and brave, the delegates
are welcomed by surgeons officers and men. and
their labors have, in the judgment of those
wel-infOrmed, saved thousands of lives. and
been blessed TO the conversion Of thousands Of
sonls, besides raising the morals Of the army
and strengthonin the links that bind the soldier
to his home.

all the facilities from it that military eMgencics

A NEw STETHosCOpE M. koening,
of Paris, has invented stethoscope,
which promises to become very useful
in clinical practice, in which the in
strument usually employed is often
found inconvenient The new instru-
mcnt consists of fat box slightly
rounded, containing diagram of ca
outchouc, which, by blowing, is made
to assume a hemisphercal form. TIC
the box thus prepared, tube of caou-
tchouc five or six yards i'll length is at
tached, and on applying the ear to the
outer extremity Of this tube, the beat
ing of the heart and the movement Of
the lungs can be distinctly heard
This, it will be seen, is an important
advantage, for the stethoscope can now
be applied to the chest of patient
lying in bed, and observations mad,
without inconvenience to either party
There is, moreover, the further adyan
tage, that five tubes can be screwed &c
the box as easily as one, whereby, du
ring q clinical lecture or examination
four students may listen to the move
ments in the chest of the patient
while the surgeon is making his obser
vations thereon.
