A Touching Scene.

4 ministerial friend related to us yester-
day the following painful, touching and y t
suggestive incident, which occurred at the
City Point Hospital a few days since:
A Chaplain OF the Christian Commission,
while moving through the long line of sut
ferers, administering the consolation of the
Gospel, approached the bedside of gall.nt
fellow who was mcrtally wounded.
His earthly march was nearly ended;
when the Chaplain asked him If he was
prepared to die, he motioDed for pencil
and paper and with trembling hand wrote,
Il am prepared to go to Heaven. My trust
in Jesus Christ is perfect And immedi-
ately under these words of assured victory
over the grave, Come rally round the
Flag, Boys
The Chaplain took the paper, and stand
ing up, read it with loud voice. Just as
he concluded, soldier who had recently
lost a hand, sprung from his bed, and
waving the mutilated stump in the air,
burst forth with the glorious song his dying
comrade had suggested.
The effect was electric. A thousand
voices took up the chorus, and the place of
suffering was made to fairly rock with thun.
ders of melody. As the vast soldier choir

MISCELLANEOUS,
A Man who has not Slept for
over Fourteen Years

The city papers have the following rather
marvellous story:
At present there is soldier at the
Chestnut Hill Military Hospital who has
not slept for single moment for fourteen
years aud six months. This may seem in-
credulous, but nevertheless it is true, and
can be verified by numbers of persons
The individual is an intelligent man; natu-
rally, and has the benefit of moderate
education. His name is G. d. Sanders,
orderly sergeant of Company g, 18th Va.
Vol He entered the service Cf the Uni
ted States on December 20, 1868 He
is in the forty fifth year Of his age. His
health has been generally excellent during
his life. In l849 he was attack ed with
cholera, and since at period with lung
fever on two occasions. In the summer
of 1850, sleep forsook him, and since
that time he has never felt the least drowsy.
He has always led a temperate fe His
wife and children reside in Putnam county,
West Eir mia. Since he entered the
Union army he has been on seven raids anG
in tour charges, during which time he in-
forms US that he never felt tired or sleepy.
He was in charges made beyond Hnrpers
Ferry, Va, on the 18th, 1871, 10Th, and
10th of last August, and yet he did not
feel the least sleepy. Why it is that he
cannot or does not sleep is as much a mys
terry to him as it to many scientific gentle
men, who, having had their attention
called to him, have been astounded in their
attempts to investigate the cause.
Upon one occasion, at his request, num-
ber fcuriously inclined gentlemen tched
him foi forty two days and nights cousecu-
tive y, in order, if possible, to arrive at the
cause of the wonderful phenomenon
These gentlemen took turns with each
other in the progress Of watching, so that
if be should chance to sleep it would be
observed Some of the watchers became
drowsy, and it was as much as he could DO
to awaken them.
This singular man was sent to Philadel
phia by order of the field surgeon He
was admitted into the hospital at Chestnut
Hill on the 18th of November last, suffer
ing from the chronic diarrhea and rheu
matism. He has nearly recovered from
his physical disabili y; hi, appetite is good,
but yet he does not sleep. He retires to
bed, the same as other soldiers, but he can
not sleep. He simply receives physical
rest. This brief narrative of most won
deriul phenomenon may seem fabulous,
but the reader is assured that it is the
truth.

A Sad Holiday for one Family.

A family of FIVE sons and one daughter
breaktasted together in their fathers
house on Christmas morning, in Storr's
township, Ohio. The name is Rossman
All were happy and anticipated day of
pleasure. Two of the boys, George and
Frank, aged respectively eight and fourteen,
full Of glee, took their sled and bounded
off to the ice on Mllcreek, for slide
But their pleasure was soon cut short, and
turned to bitter grief the hearts of the
whole family The treacherous surface
gave way and the boys went under They
clung to the edges of the ice and tried to
save themselves until help could come.
From distance an elder brother, j. H.
Rossman, twenty-one years old, saw them
struggle in the water, and he with others
FASTENED to their rescue In his anxiety
to save the almost exhausted boys, he
rushed too near the edge OF the ice, and
went in with them! In the water he
struggled manfully to keep them from
drowning, and did keep the younger one
up for some time; but the water was deep,
and be was not promptly assisted by the
persons outside, who fearing to approach
the opening in the ice, and be too sank
with his brothers, in the heroic effort to
save them.

Thinks / to Myself.

When l look at the busy, whirling, tear
ing world, how selfish, how heartless every
one is J.. EVERY mau for himself is the
universal motto What pushing, jostling
set We are. One striving for fame; this
one for wealth, that one for distinction
all seem to live, act and move in king
dom of their own When see those who
are clothed in vestures Of satin, brush past
the poor and destitute, as if they feared
the very air they breathed in would faint
them; when | behold the naughty curl of
the lip at interiors in rank or mercensry
goods, then | wonder if they possess as
warm and true heart as said interiors, or
II there III not narrowness of soul and
mind in them, not found in those whom
they scorn. When | see girl continually
prating about fashions and the latest nov
els; nearly dying with "ennui" if she can
not attend ball every week harping
about genteel society; spending most of
his time wondering what is the latest STYLE
of wearing the hair; who would just like
to get the step of that delightful waltz
which was danced at the last grand "fete;"
who wonders what does becolne her best,
blue, pink, buff or lilac !; who wonders if
she would purchase that superb brocade
if she would not make an impression on
tha. distinguished foreigner, who is de-
cidedly the "lion" OF the day; thinks to
myself-wonder if you know what you are
existing for, or if you are not only hand
some piece of goods, for sale to any one
who Is Ounce enough to make the pur.
chase?
When | see pieces of masculine goods
standing at the corner of the streets, loung.
ing in billiard rooms or lager beer saloons,
or sitting in shops with their feet elevated
several degrees above terra 6rms, putting
cigar as complacently as though they were
Lords of creation on'-what "Lords of
creation" did ] say? How erroneous.
Why they are not even masters Of their
own minds; haven't energy enough to find
out what material their brains are COM
posed of. What aimless, worthless drones
they are! When | see dandy promena-
ding the street, stroking his exquisite nous.
tache, with his broadcloth cut the style, his
hair oiled to perfection, enveloped in
cloud of eau-de cologne. his hat tipped
gracefully on one side, to complete the eff.
feet: thinks | to myself, my excellent dan
dy, wonder if you are not minus brains;
or if you possess any-guess they'r rather
shallow.
Thinks | to myself, wouldn't it be a glo-
rious world if people would live more for
others, less for themselves; more in confor-
nifty to everyday rules; more reality, less
romance; more honest, plain speeches, less
romance; more solid sense, less humbug-
gerry. In fact this would be right good
world if people would only know how to
live. GIPSEY WILDE.

GaridaldTs Religion. THE Italian Jour
nails publish the text of a letter addressed
by Garibaldi to member of the Universi.
ty of Pisa. 1t is kind of profession of
religious faith, and is couched in the fol-
lowing terms: " You ask me what are best
means of instructing your young pupils.
You must rear them in the love of what
ever is true. As | gaze into space and
give the relns to my Imagination, l per-
ceive the works of the Almighty, as we'll
as the mathematical harmony with which
they are contrived and move. This an
nounces supreme artifccr. Animated
with this faith, unable to circumscribe INV
heing in a material existence which is re-
pugnant to me, and anxious to satisfy the
innate instinct of the immortality of the
soul, love to indulge in the enuobling
and beneGcent thought that my mind,
though infinitely small, may form part of
the infinite intelligence which presides
over the whole universe; and here do
not dogmatize, | express my faith, aud if
any one can teach me something better
shall be eager to believe it."
