A WARNING.

o, ye men of the South.
Who will prate about wars,
And talk of the lifc-blood
Poured ont in your cause,
Remember the lesson
You learned in the past;
Remember the var clouds
That Ger you were cast;
The Spirit of Liberty
Has never been dead,
LOOK out for the Future,
There are breakers ahead
The North is enduring;
She has borne with you long;
Bat her battle cry now
l., Down with the Wrong,
The end is approaching,
Tie time draweth near,
When tie pride of your boasting
Shall give way to fear.
In the warnings Of prophecy,
These words may be read
Look out FOR the Future,
There are breakers ahead!
If you spurn all the offers,
That IN Kindness we made,
Ard insult now the country
You would fain have betrayed;
BY the proud land that bore us,
We bid you beware,
Lest from the heights of your hope
You be cast to despair;
Lest you turn from reyelings
To weep DER The dead,
Look out for the Future,
There ere breakers ahead.

RoMAYTIc EPISODE OF TUE WAr.-
General Sheridan seht, a few DAYS ago, to
Miss Kebecca Wright, of CHESTER,
Virginia, an elegant gold watch, an ex-
quisitciy wrought chain, a brooch, and
charms. The brooch is Of gold, 5cauti-
fully wrought into gauntlet, and set
with pearls One Of the charms, as
correspondent informs us, is a sword set
with very valuable diamonds. Accom-
panying this magnificent g;d was an au-
togra3h letter from General Sheridan, ac-
knovledging Miss Wright's services,
which led to the Generals success at Win
chester, in :he battle of the 18th Of Sep
tembcr, 1861. Miss Wright was young
Quakercss, well known for her faith in a
united nationality, and understood to lie
willing to aid tie cause 1t any sacrifice.
When General Sheridan was in great
doubt how TO Get he sent scout to the
lady, who writing upon a slip Of paper,
which she enclosed in . tin,icil, directed
the scout to place it in his mouth, that it
might escape the enemy's search, and
thus furnish the information that enabled
the Genera! to achieve his victory.

0ILING 4 VENTRILOQUIST.

a noted ventrlloquist once took his
station near the engineer to see the work
ing Of the machinery. In few moments
Il squeaking noise was heard on the op-
posite side Of the engine. Selling the
oil can the engineer sought out the dry
spot, and to prevent further noise of the
kind liboraliy applied the contents of his
ean to every joint All went on well for
awhile, when squeaking was heard in an
other direction. The oiling process was
repeated and quiet restored, but as the
engineer was coming quietly around to-
ward the spot occupied by the stranger
he heard another squeak. This time he
detected the tue cause Of the difficulty.
The stranger was a yeutril0quist. Walk
ing directly up behind him he seized the
astonished joker BY the back Of the neck
and omptied the contents Of the can down
his spine. There" said he, Il don't
believe that en2ire will squeak again.

cIUsUs or SUDDEN DEATH.

Very few c. the sudden deaths said to
arise from heart disease really arise flon
that cause. To ascertain the origin Of
sudden deaths, an experiment was tried
in Europe, and reported to a scientific
congress Sixty six cases Of sudden death
were male tie subject Of thorough
pot moftem examination. In these cases
only two were found who had died from
heart disease, nine Of the six:y-siz died
from apoplexy, forty-six eases Of corges-
ton cf the lungs-that is, the Lungs we're
50 full Of blood they could Eot work, for
want OF sufficient air to support life
Causes that produce congestion Of the
lungs are cold feet. tight clothing, cos-
tive bowels, sitting still until chilled af-
ter being warmed by labor or a rapid
walk, going too rapidly from 4 close
heated room into the cold air, especially
after speaking, and sudden Depressing
rews operating upon the blood These
causes Of sudden death being known, an
aFoilance Of them may serve 70 lcncthel
many valuable lives, which would other
wise be lost under the verdict, Of hcait
disease. That complaint Is supposed to
be inevitable ana inourab!e, hence many
may not take the pains they would to
avoid death, did they know it lay il their
power.

Der that he has crowned our land, thro'
all its extent, with greatly needed and
very abundant harvests; that he has
caused industry to prosper, not only in
our fields, but also in our workshops, in
our mines and in our forests. He has
permitted rs to multiply ships upon our
lakes and rivers and upon the high seas,
and at the same time ex tend our iron roads
SO far into the secluded places Of the
Continent 40 to guarantee speedy over.

Quarreling.

If anything in tho world will make a
mi feel badly, except pinchiug his I'm.
gers in the crack Of . door, it is unques-
tionably quarrel. No man ever fails to
think less Of himself after it than before.
It degrades him in the eyes of others,
and what is worse, blunts bis sensibilitiea
on the one hand, and increases tho power
Of passionate irritability on the other.
The truth Is, the more peaceably and
bors. In nine cases out Of ten the better
course is if a man cheats you, cease to
deal with him if he is abusive, quit his
company and if he ISLANDERS you, take
care to live so nobody will believe him.
No matter who he is, or how he misuses
you, the wisest way is to let him alone ;
for there is nothing better than this cool,
calm and quiet way of dealing with the
wrongs We meet with.

An incident was related not loag since,
by an officer Of tho Army Of the Cumbcr.
land, which shows what an effect music
has upoa the soldiers when wearicd.
He said that his brigade was on long
march last fall and had completed but
psrt of tho journey, when they came to :
very low, msrshy tract Of country, which
the men were obliged to march through
or loose nearly three hours in making the
sircuit. They started with the rim pour.
ing down on them in torrents. While
tugking on with silent effort, each step
work Of time and labor, so much so that
one of the soldiers sank exhausted in the
mud, refusing TO 90 further. At this
moment of general depression of feeling
gay young fellow broke out singing.
though not very reverently:
""If you get there before ! do,
Look out for me I'm coming to-
This was too much for tho soldiers ;
vet and low spiricd though they were, all
broke out IN q roar Of laughter. The
young fellows lighter hesrt gave wings

The lJnseen witness.

thing like . clock, which is fastened upon

establishment, without being noticed BY
The young men, glanced upon the face Of

how many miles they had travelled.
"Where have you bccu?" be then
asked them.

the answer. ...

"How many miles have you been in

He touched the spring, tho cover
opened, and there, on the face Of the in
strument. the thirty miles we're recorded.
The young men were astonished At the
unerring testimony Of an unseen witness
that they had carried with them ali tho
way.
Thus has God placed conscience as .
recording witness in our hearts. Who're
