An Incident Of the War-tn-
formation Wanted,


Mr.. EDITOR At the. battle of
Gettysburg, when death was hew-
ing down the noblest OF the land,
it was my misfortune to be in
command of a company Of United
States infantry. I say it was my
misfortune ; but I speak of it as
a pity that a brother should rise
aga nst brother, and those that
should have lived in peace and har-
mony were now engaged in mortal
combat. I was for the Union then,
and ana for the Union now, under
the old Constitution of our. fore
fathers. After the Confederate
troops had galIantly charged the
Cemetery Heights, and been re-
pulsed, Invent out, as 1 was al
ways glad to do, to render any
assistance in my power to the
wounded. I made no distinction
between a rebel and a Yankee, and
l am certain no gentleman would.
Among the wounded was a Cap
tain Willie S. Gray. As I came
up to him, l could see through
the gathering darkness how deadly,
pale was the face Of him who lay
on the ground before me. Iplaced
my canteen to his lips, and. he
drank with feverish haste: I sat
down beside him, and he began to
speak very rapidly Of home. I
held my head lower, as he could not
speak above q whisper. He told
me his name, and requested me to
write to his family. Tell them, .
said he, "gently, they will miss
me at home; they will look for
my coming, but I shall never
come" He held out his hand and
placed it i'm my own, and the

the battlefield as enemies, but we
were parting friends. 1t was
about 9 o'clock ; the night was
somewhat, cloudy; the two armies
were still, and during that in
terval Of stiffness / was receiving
the parting farewell Of a dying
man to his friends. In our con-
versation, be had omitted to tell
me what State he lived in until
just before he died. he opened
his eyes and moved his lips. I am

so that can hear from his friends,
will pay you your price for prir-

Z, EMERSON ON nTHE BABY."--One of
the sweetest and prettiest of Emerson's
latest writings, is the following:
What knowsnot the beautiful group of
babe and mother, sacred in nature, rsa-
cred also in the religious associations of
half the globeg Welcome to the parents
is the puny little struggler, strong in
his weakness, his little arms more tire
slstable than the soldiers, his lips touch
ed with persuasion which Chatham and
Pericles in manhood had not. The
small despot asks so little that all nature
and reason are on his side. His iguo-
rance is more charming than all knowl-
edge, and Ills little siiis more bewitching
than all virtue. nah day between his
three or four sleeps he cooslike pigeon
house, sputters and puts on faces of i'm
portance; and when he fasts, the little
Pharisee fails not to sound his trumpet
before him. Ont of blocks, cards and
thread spools, he will build his pyramid
with the gravity of Palladia. With an
acoustic apparatus of whistle and rat
tie he explores the laws of sound. But
chiefly like his senior countrymen, tho
young American studies new and speed
Ter modes of transportation. Mistrust-
ing the cunning of his small legs, no
wishes to ride on the necks aud sliould-
ers of all flesh. The small enchanter
nothing can withstand--no seniority of
age, no gravity of character; uncles.
aunts, cousins grandsires, grandmas,-
all fall an easy prey; he conforms to no.
body, all conform to him; all caper and
make mouths, and babble and chirrup
to him. On the strongest shoulders he
rides, and pulls the hair Of laureled
heads. 80

MARRIAGE.-Thel following are the
opinions of three 'Ir0mfnenr ladies on
the subject of marriage. 80 ,'a.te.itiH i
Marriage is to women q state of Slav.
eIy-it' takes from her her OWL property,
and makes her submissive in all things
to her husband" Lucy Stone. f'
Marriage is a state of slavery 3
Aye, but the bonds are siiken and east
~ worn. Marriage is the sanctifier of
love-an institution which acknowl-
edges the right of woman to be protect
ed, and the duty of man to protect her.
The Offices of wife and mother are not
those of slaves. What higher destinies
beneath the skies than to instruct the
In FAINT mind in thoughts of purity !
What holier mission than to soothe the
turbid torrent of mans passions by q
word al 1alook--a smile 1t is to wo-
man that this work is given. Woman
in her vocation, may cheer the tired
spirit, may lend hope to the desponiIig,
may whisper love to the rlonelyLwhile
maHlnay toll and traffic, and fuss, and
fret, and grow savage. Who would ex-
change with HIM 9''--t Ella Wentworth.
az would by nomeans persuade You,
or any other woman to prefer a single
life. 1t is not the promised PATH
Nothing, less than spirit of ineekness
or self Remuneration, and of benevolence,
can make q woman who has once been
first, happy in a subordinate and sec.
oild-best positions. Aud this, under Or
binary circumstances fiis theI highest
place, ola single woman, Depend upon
it, my, dear, young friends, it is safer for
the most OF us to secure all the helps to

ton; besides, married life is the destiny
that Heaven has allotted MS. and there

ers, to exereise4all our virtues, and call
forth all our sympathes. l would per-
suade you that you may be the cause of
happiness to others, and, of course,
happy yourself--for. when was the foun-
tain dry when the stream continued to

great revolution WAS made, the men who
made it knew where it should stop, and
desired to stop 1t there. All the patriots
would have preserved order when they
had secured guarantees of public liber-

The Summers and Wendell Phillipses of
that time urged OH ignorance, brutality
and barbarism, and the revolution be-
came war of classes and a slaughter.
This is the course marked out for us.
The American people are; satisfied with
the results of the4war, and wish to see
order established OH the basis laidydown
in the constitutional amendment. But
this wise limit is not enough for the fa-
natics who have given power to the mig
ger, and hence these latter are urged
forward and raise the cry. of lproscrip-

that has put the iaw.Ipaking power of

in.its native land, never met in conven-

The greatest snow-storm recorded in
Russia occurred on the steppes OF Kir7

which, for forty-eight hours the snow
fell so fariously that drifts of sixteen.
twenty, and even twenty-fouT feet were
recorded in various places. In the south
of Scotland, in 1885, there were thirteen
drifty days, which killed nine-tenths of

MECHANISM LA very ingenious piece
of mechanism for the detection and ex-
traction of bullets in wounds has been
devised. The probe, consisting of two
steel wires insulated from each other, is
connected With an electric horse shoe
magnet and a bell, and when, intro
bullet, the circle is completed, and the
bell rings. The forceps act on the same
principle, and are intended, first to, de
tect, then to seize the bullet. They
have curved points, and notpallets or
spoons. The points of the probe are
kept sheathed on Introduction to a
wounds and not uncovered untilthe sup
posed bullet is felt. This is effected by
means ola sliding lube The probe is a
sensitive artificial finger, which enters
deeply into the tissues. and gives the
signal at once, when it detects the hid
den source of mischief below.

THE Man WITHOUT An ENEMY.-
Heaven help the man who imagines he
can dodge enemies. by trying to please
everybody. If such an individual ever
succeeded we should be glad of it, not
that we believe in a man going through
the world trying to find beams to knock
his head against, disputing every, man s
opinion, fighting and elbowing, and
crowding all who differ with him. That
again is another extreme. Other people
have right TO their opinions, SO have
you; don't fall into the error of suppos-
ing that they will respect you less for
maintaining it, or respect you more for
turning your coat every day to match
the. colors of theirs. Wear your own
colors in spite of wind and weather,
storms or sunshine. 1t costs the vacil-
lating and irresolute ten times che trou-
