The Mind.

Of all the noble works of God, that
Of the human mind has ever been
considered the grandest. 1t is, how
ever, like all else created, capable
Of cultivation; and just in that de.
gree as the mind is improved and
rendered pure, is man fitted for
rational enjoyment and pure happi-
ness. That person who spends q
whole existence without q realiza-
tioa of the great ends for which be
was designed; without feeling soar
ing of the soul above mere mercena-
ry motives and desires;not knowing
that he is portion. as it were, Of
one vast machine, in which each
piece has part to perform, having
no heart beating in common with
those Of his fellow men, no feelings
in which selfis not the beginning and
the end. may we'll be said not to live.
His mind is shut in by a moral
darkness, and he merely exists a
blank in the world, and goes to the
tomb with scarcely regret. Such
beings We have seen and wondered
wondered that mortal, endowed
with so many noble qualities, and
capable of the highest attainment
Of intellectually, should slumbcr on
through q world like ours, in which
is everything beautiful and sublime,
to call forth his energies and excite
his admiration-a world which af-
fords subjects for exercising every
lively attribute with which we are
gifted, and opens = scene of the
richest variety to the eye, the mind,
and the heart, and of such diver
si6ed character, that we may never
grow weary. If. then, you wish to
live, in tho true sense Of the term,
cultivate the mind, give vent to pure
affections and noble feelings, and
pen not every thought and desire in
self. Live more for the good of your
fellow-men, and in seeking their
happiness you will promote your
own.

FASHIONS FOR LADIEs.-The Local Of the
Jonesboro' Tenn. Tribune, is out in the fol-
lowing strain relative to adopting, the
fashions. When we first read the article, we
tclt inclined to administer a severe repri-
mand to, as we were about to believe our er-
ring brother. But we can see sympathyin the
articles sympathy for the less wealthy
but we must say, in our community they
are not looked upon rs "uncultivated" or
devoid of taste of refinement. The Tribune
says sit makes no difference what a new
bonnet costs, or a new dress, or those high
heeled beautiful little kid balmorals may
cost. Still, if one lady who ranks high in
society is lucky to secure something of the
kind, all must dress the same way, or they
are looked upok as poor, uncultivated, and
with but little taste as to refinement. Are
these not facts in some neighborhoods
They certainly are. 1t should not be so. We
all know there is nothing nicer, lovelier or
more beautiful than TO see a lady neatly and
comfortably dressed. But those who cannot
afford it should not seek to follow after the
gay fashions that last but short season.

much with cheaper goods If neatly made

FIGHTING FOR THE OLD FLAG.-A Con-
,federate soldier, who. served in the 14th Al
ALBANIA regiment, fought all through the
war, and surrendered at Appomattox, en-
listed in the I'd U. S. regiment here a few
days ago He will now fight for the old
flag We see it stated that good many ex-
Confederates are enlisting in different places
in the regular army.-Huntsuile ,AdUOcate.
That is so, we are personally acquainted
with the soldiers of this garrison, Co. K,
9Th Infantry who served in North Carolina
regiments during the Confederacy, and who
are now proudly wearing the blue, resolved
to give up their hearts blood in defence of
the old flag.
These soldiers are remarkably intelligent
and faithful in the discharge of their duties,
and like all true and brave veterans Of the
Lost Cause, are free from the prejudices and
antipathies of the stay at home feather bed
soldiers during the bloody conflict.
We can state on reliable authority that
fully 20 per cent. of the men composing the
regiments and companies now garrisoning
the Southern States, were, formerly of the
rank and file of the Southern armies, and
these men in every instance live socially and
kindly with their brethren in arms. Unlike
those parties who probably from cowardice
or worse never shared the hardships and
dangers of war, still excite discussions and
luminosity by clamoring for the dead issues
of the past, (Which should now at least be
buried in oblivion,) while the men that bore
the brunt and fury of battle arc found rally
ing round the old flag.

The subject of this memoir was the son of
Judge d. V. Bell, OF the - District of Michi-
gan, in which State he was born.
When the war broke out, he was living in Chi
cago, Illinois, and having the love OF country at
heart, with alacrity responded to bis country's
call for defenders, and enlisted as private. But
being rewarded for valor displayed on several
fields OF bloody strife, he was speedily promoted
through the different grades TO that OF Colonel.
In consequence of severe wounds and exposure
the seeds of that fell destroyer, Pulmonary Con-
sumption, were sown, and thus in early manhood,
in the full vigor of life, he has been called TO
that bourne from whence no traveller returns.
Though he died in a strange land, far away
from home, yet the briny tear of affection was
shed, and sympathising friends mourn his early
loss. o. .... r....
As be had often met the enemies of his country
unfinchingly, even SO he met the pale horse and
his rider He died like q man. He asked his
physician few hours before he died what be
thought of his case, and expressed himself as not
being afraid to die. So his friends need not
mourn as those that have no hope.
Farewell, dear George! Peace, peace, be unto
thy ashes. And when the trump of God shall
wake the slumbering millions TO join in the army
Of the Lord, o may you and l, kind reader, be
able with those who have gone before to rise
from perishing world and meet the Lord in the
air. g.,
