dotted with sheep and cattle. and forty

little attention to style in dress. being be.

hut is simply filling bis position as a states
man by bringing the powers Of bis mind to

,uie Is Here.

June, fair poontide Of the year,
Joy is In thy atmosphere,
Flowers and fruit, together born,
Pour from thy prolific horn;
Perfume, beauty, light and song,
To thy golden reign belong,
June is here.
Strawberries in the field are seen
Blushing meath their leafy screen;
Ripening cherries in the lane
Glow like melted porcelain,
And In yonder meadow, bark!
Sings the yellow breasted lark,
June is here.
With their blushing burdens stoop
Rose-briers by the cottage stoop;
Honeysuckles spice the air,
Blooms are opening everywhere,
Round whose nectar cup the bee
Pours his maudlin melody,
June Is here
Stars, bright isles of heavens blue sea,
Ye may homes of angels be,
To the scenery ye unfold;
Yet this world to moftals given
Is to ME foretaste of heaven.
When June is here.

1t is an admitted fact, well demonstra-
ted by the appearance of the rebel prison.
ers in camp and hospital, that the sanitary
condition of the rebel army is equal, if not
superior 10 that of our own, and the atten
tion Of the practical and scientific is directed
earnestly to inquire into the cause OF this
extraordinary and unexpected fact. In
1862 the rebels were far inferior TO our men
in recuperatiye powers, especially when
subjected to severe or capital surgical OPP
erations; but it is now observed that their
condition has greatly improved, while our
soldiers have lost rather than gained 10
power of endurance. Strange as it may
seem. there are eminent medical men who
attribute this improvement of the rebel ar.
my to the simplicity and diminished quan
tily of rations; being at present limited to
sixteen ouLces of corn meal and four oun-
ces bacon per day This diet is very nu
tritous, and when men are engaged in &C
tive out door pursuits, it must be very
healthy. Vegetables are furnished, but
not regularly or upon any system. Oeca
sionally the soldiers obtain small quantities
of sugar, molasses and rice. C,rn meal is
not often used by our soldiers, and it is
never issued as part Of their rations. =
neither bacon nor pork is much used. The
