Our Soldiers.

An army correspondent writes rs follows {:
On my last trip down, I was speaking to
an officer about the hospitals. A soldier who
sat next to me said he had been q steward in
one of them several months. asked him if
the soldiers, when they were sick, persisted
in the continuous swearing which character
lied the army.
"No, SIR" he said, "thcy arc like little
children then; they return to their fathers
house."
saw that had come in contact with q
man worth talking to, and had long con-
versation with him. Only few scraps Of it
can be given now: .....
"Oh," he said, "thcy are so grateful for
the smallest favors have heard them say
so softly, "thank you, SIR" for every little
thing did for them, that was almos,
ashamed. thought had seen bravo men
in battle, but I never knew what bravery
was till went to the hospital. They often
told me to fix them out"
"what is that ?"
"Well. they would SEQ that the doctor
gave them up, and they would ask me about
il. I would tell them the truth. told one
man that, and he asked how long? l said,
not over twenty minutes. He did not show
any fear-they never do. He put up his
hand so, and closed his eyes with his own
fingers, and then stretched himself cut, and
crossed his arms over his breast. 'Now fix
me- no said. pinned the toes Of his stock
ings together that was the way we laid
corpscs out-and he died in few minutes.
His face looked as pleasant as # he was asleep
ard smiling. Mapy's tho time the boys have
fixed themselves that way before they died. "
asked him another question.
EYES," he said. "the soldiers when they
arc dying almost always speak Of some wo-
man. When they arc married men, it's Of
teness about their wives. If they arc not
married, II is mostly their mothers and sis
ters-oitcnest q mother"
Isaw that the soldier had Bible in his
pocket.
"when loft my company" no said, al
thought nothing Of the swearing; but when
I camo back TO il from the hospital, IL seem
cd awful"
Yet such is tho power Of tho influence oil
association, that my good friend-rcally and
not sham pious friend-when | afterward
spoke Of the insurgents, got indignant at the
contemplation Of their conduct, and called
them the id rebels!

~ Newspapers are realizing nothing ou'
OF their subscription lists, paper and every.
thing el.e Is 50 high. To illustrate, We Will
relate the following conversation which &C.
CURED between an old subscriber and our'ell
n day or two since. Ho proposed renewing
his subscription for a year. and we thereup-
on made out receipt for two dollars. "How
is this?" says our farmer friend, "You have
put up tho price" EYES" we answered,
1--WE have been compelled to on account Of
the high price Of everything" He dsmurred
and said "he would not take it--he couldn't
afford to. the price was so high" "Well,
them" said We, ''if you don't like the terms
We will let you have the paper for $l.50, II
you will pay US in butter ct shilling n
pound. the old price," elbow much would
it take?" "Just nine pounds" "Wby
that would be giving you $3.50 for your pa
per, at the price my butter sells for now"
We answered we could not help II, and for
this reason, We have been compelled to in.
crease our terms. Paper costs u, three times
what it used to. and many other things in
proportion. swell, WE'LL" said our friend,
"thc butter argument convinces me. Give
mo the receipt-here's your moncy."-Ar-

DWARF ArrLs TREES. culture Of
dwarf apple trees II. O., worked on the para
disc stock is yet very limited in our country
and it is only within few years that they
have attracted any attention but as they
become better known, and their real value
appreciated, they will, VIC are sure, be con-
sdered almost rs indispensable rs the pear.
They are lcas particular Us to soil than the
pear, grow quite as readily, occupy but little
moro space than currant bush, and bear
three to six dozen Of large and beautiful
fruit each. Besides this, they are so com.
pletely within tho control Of tho cultivator,
that If the canker worm attacks the trees,
they can easily be destroyed by the applica.
ton Of whale oil soap. Now that this pes,
is so destructive to orchard trees, the bush
apples will supply their place, and the same
ground, covered with dozen or two trees,
will produce nearly the same quantity as a
standard. and much larger and more beauti-

How Gold Lace is Made.

Gold lace is not gold lace; 1t does not dc
servo this title, for the gold Is applied as sur
f.co to the silver. i. is not cvep silver lace,
Tor the silver Is applied to foundation Of
silk. The silken threads for making this
material are wound around with gold wire
so thickly as to conceal the silk. The max
ing OF this gold wire Is one Of the most sim
gular mechanical operations imaginable. In
the first place, the rciiner prepares solid rod
of silver about ON inch in thickness; he
heats this rod. applies upon tho surface
coating Of gold leaf, Furnishes this down.
and 50 until the gold is about onc-hundredth
part the thickness Of the silver. The rod Is
subjected to train OF processes which brings
IL down to tho state Of fine wirc, and u Is
passed through holes in steel p'ase' lessened
step by step in diameter. The gold never &c,
sorts the silver, but adhcres closely TO IT, anu
.h,,es all its mutations. II is one.hundredth
mart the thickness of the silver at the begin
ming, and IL maintains the same ratio to the
end.
As to the fnencss to which the gold coat
ed rod Of silver can be brought, the limit de-
ponds upon the delicacy Of human skill but
tho mos. remarkable ever known was brought
forward by DR.. wollstou. This was an OK
ample Of solid gold wire, entirely free from
r IL.
