ERECT CARRIAGE.-An erect gait
gives to woman a queenly appearance,
aud to men an air of manliness, integrity
and fearlessncss. To bend forward or
downward while walking indicates debili
Ity. depression or mental trouble, and
always aggravates itself and promotes dis.
ease. Pads and supports are all perni-
cious, aud are worse than useless, because
they teach the system to rely on them,
and cannot support one part of the body
without causing an unnatural strain on
some other part, and, to that extent, tend
to disease that part There is always one
easily available and successful method of
acquiring an erect, manly gait, without
any material effort, or feeling of awkward.
ness. Let the chin be little above q
horizontal line, which is easily done by
keeping the eye fixed on the top of a
persons hat or bonnet in front of you.
The habit of this erect carriage may be
facilitated by accustoming yourself, when
at home, in tho garden, or ether places,
to walk with the hands behind, held in
one another and the head thrown up as
done in smoking cigar or singing a
tunc.-Halrs Journal Of Health.

The Loss OF WIRE-In compari-
son With the loss of wife. all other be-
reavements sink into nothing. The wife
she who fills so large sphere 10 the
domestic heaven; she who il busted, so
unwearied, in laboring for the precious
oues around her-bitter. bitter is the
tear that falls on her cold clay! You
stand beside her coffin and think of the
past |, seems an amber-colored path
way where The sun shone upon beautiful
flowers. or the stars glittered over head
Fain would the soul linger there No
thorns are remembered above that sweet
clay. save those your hand may have un-
willingly planted. Her noble, tender
heart lies open to your inmost sight.
You think of her now as all gentleuess,
beau y aud purity. But she is dead !.
The dear head that laid upon your bosom
rests in the still darkness, upon pillow
of clay. The hands that have minister
ed SO untiringiy are folded. white and
cold, beneath the gloomy portals. The
heart. whose every beat measured an eter-
nifty of love, lies under your feet. The
flowers she bent over with smiles bend
now above her with tears, shaking the
dew from their pe.als, that the verdure
around her may be kept green and beau
,iful.

Correspondence N. Y. Herald ]
A BATTLEFIELD.

The battlefield was two miles long.
A great part OF your readers have seen
many battlefelds. This was my first
and I hope my last. Hill and dale
are strewn with the relics OF mortality.
There are horses, struck in o moment
Of action, lying with necks arched and
foot upraised; men who died in con-
WILSON'S of agony, and some dropped
peacefully to sleep-shattered and
whole-friepd and foe lay side by side,
awaiting the decent Offices of the over
taxed troops detailed to bury the dead.
It was the last touch to the horrors Of
the scene, that though but few hours
had passed since the fighting was over,
n hoirible stencil already poisoned the
air. Notwithstanding the terrible
character of the spectacle, I could not
help noticing the characteristic atti-
tudes of the dead.
The Germans and French lay as you
would have expected them to-inst as
we see men lying in rest or in pain
but 1 did not see one Moor whose
position was not model of grace,
and those who were not too much
shattered, with their pale, stone
colored C mplexion, diminutive forms,
exquisitely delicate hands and wild
faces, looked more like art than death
The French, whether out of igno-
rance or malice, fired repeatedly at
the ambulances, which BY treaty are
exempted from all attack, aud the
peasants hung n member of the sani-
tary commission whom they found
alone attending the wounded.
Many of the French physicians were
captured without neutrality badges,
notwithstanding that by treaty they are
obliged to wear it. They had not
thought it within the bounds of posi-
bility that they should come to need
its protection.
One of the cuirassier regiments
which was annihilated, entered a hop
field. where were company of the
ninety-fifth regiment, and companies
Of pioneers. The Germans mistook
the French for Bavarians, and allow
ed them TO come within fifteen PAGES.
Discovering the mistake when flight
was almost hopeless, they opened
quick fire." This is only done in
cases OF extreme need, because the
gun becomes 40 hot that one can nc
longer hold it. The French regi.
ment attempted to break through
But few lived to reach the other side
of the field, when they were met ly
more Prussians, who finished the
slaughter.

A WRITER in the Christian Union,
says that ministers make great mistake
in spending SO much time upon their SER
mons, and so little on their people. The
men who move audiences by their elo-
quence, grow less in number, he thinks,
as education grows more universal. Or.
atory under such circumstances is less
potent. Laymen, he says, generally like
their ministers better than they do their
sermons. A minister should know his
people, and it is necessary for them to
know him, and this gives the preacher
moral power. The fact is, they want
more Of the power of God, and less con-
fidence in mans wisdom.

THE POPE'S TEMPORAL POW.
Ek GONE.

Our dispatches show that the Pa
pal States have been formally uni
ted to the kingdom OF Italy and that
Italian unity is at last actually accom-
plished. The vote was almost unani-
nous for union. In Europe there is
now, as the result of this, one sover-
eign less. The territory which thus
passes under the dominion of Italy
contains population of about seven
hundred thousand persons. Prior to
1859 the papal territory was much
more extensive. But the war of that
year which made Italy kingdom,
took away from the Pope more than
two-thirds of his dominions. The re-
mainder is now wrested from him, and
one of the oldest monarchies of Eu-
rope ceases to exist. 1t is over eleven
hundred years since its temporal pow
er began, and Plus TX, is the one
hundred and sixty fifth of his line
The temporal sovereignty of the
Popes began with Stephen III, in the
year 1852; it promises to end forever
with Plus TX. 1t is worthy of remark
that it is to France that both the ori-
gin and the downfall of the temporal
sovereignty of the holy see are due
Pepin, King of the Flanks, rescued
Rome from the Lombards and be-
slowed it as royal inheritance upon
the head of the Church, and the pow
! er thus established continued till the
French troops, who had been placed
at Rome to defend the Pope, were
withdrawn few weeks ago, leaving
the way open for the absorption of the
papal territory by Italy, and the ex-
tinction OF sovereignty of more than
eleven centuries durat on.

THE BRIDE

Is quadroon, but only shade light
er than mulatto, and about twenty
five years of age. She has rather a
fiat nose and thick sensual lips, having
bred back upon the negro, as stock
raisers would say. She dresses with
great deal of taste, and has slight
touch of the Grecian Bend, but is
withal very pretty, and will doubtless
be lionized during her travels. She
came here from New York; has been
teaching school. and is said to be fine

KosKoo.-This medicine is rapidly gaining
the confidence Of the people, and the numer-
Gus testimonials of its virtues given by prac-
tiioners of medieine, leaves no doubt that it
is a safe and reliable remedy for impurity Of

The last Medical Journal contains an arti-
Gle from Prof. R. S. Newton. NJ. D., Prcsi
dent Of The E. Medical College. city of New
York, that speaks in high terms Of its cura-
tive properties, and gives special recommen
daton of Koskoo to he practitioners of med
icine. This is, we believe, the first instance
.ehere such medicines have been officially
endorsed by the Faculty of any Of the medi
