THE MARCHING AND THE MEETING
OF THE GRAND ARMY.

Slowly, sadly, see them marching
Still they march, with steady tread
Marching with their solemn music,
To the city of the dead.
Marching, not as once we saw them,
Shouting freedoms battle cry
Marching then by sturdy thousands.
proudly singing they went by.
Marching, not as once to battle
When the death-shots quickly fell
To the booming of the cannon,
and the foes defiant yell.
Marching not with rifed muskets
Bear they now the flowers of spring
Slowly play the solemn dirges,
Sad the songs which now they sing.
See, they march in broken columns,
Islln the ranks which now go by
shot and she'll. and wasting fever,
they can tell the reason why.
March they on, band of heroes,
q heroes spared when many died
spared from shot, and shell, and fever,
saved to be their country's bride.

N boy, anda noble fellow he was, al
though he was poor.
One day, while watching his flock, which
was feeding in a valley on the borders Of
forest, q hunter came out of the woods and
inquired:
"How far is it to thenearest village"
"Six miles," replied the boy "but the
road is only sheep track and very easy

'"The hunter looked at the crooked track,
and said .a-rra.r..-.

"They are not your sheep. The loss of
one or more wonld not be, much to your
master, and I'll give you more than you
have earned in whole year."
81 cannot go, sir" reioined GerhartYery
firmly. My master pays me for my time,
and he trusts me with his sheep. IfIwere
to sell my time which does not belong to
me, and the sheep should get lost it would
be the same as if stole them"
"Wen," said the hunter, twill you trust
your sheep here, while you go the village
and get some food and drink, and guide
will take care of them for you."
The boy shook his head. "The sheep
don't know your voice, and"--Gerhart
stopped speaking.
"And what? Can't you trust me? Do
look like dishonest man ?' asked the
hunter, angrily.
"Sir" said the boy, "you tried to make
me false to my trust, and wanted me to
break my word to my master. How do
know that you would keep your word with
me p
The hunter laughed, and he felt the boy
had fairly cornered him. lie said :
"I see, my lad, that you are good, faith

the road, and will try and make it out
myself"
Gerhart now offered the contents of his
script to the hungry man, who, coarse, as
it was, ate it gladly. Presently his attend
ants came up, and then Gerhart to his sur
prise, found that the hunter was the Grand
Duke, who owned all the country around.
The Duke was SO pleased with the boys
honesty that he sent for him shortly after,
and had him educated.
Honesty, truth and fidelity, are precious

The Mysteries Of Nature.

The primary forms, colors and sounds of
nature are but few, and yet their modifica-
tions and combinations are infinite. So far
as human knowledge and research extend,
the changes Of time have never produced
two forms exactly alike, whether in the
mineral, vegetable, or animal kingdoms
No two grains of sand on the shore, to say
nothing of larger objects, of natural divis-
ion, and portions of the earth's surface,
are precisely alike. Thereare no two plants,
flowers, seeds, or even leaves, in the whole
universe allotted TO man, that exactly re-
semble each other in form, size weight and
color No two animal creations, no two
voices are identical among all the living
works of God. ast nft
Human ingenuity has constructed no two
musical Instruments that gave forth the
same identical sound and the miscroscopo
detects a marked difference of color In
every leaf Of every fiower and every thread
of the finest fabric produced and colored
by human skill. In short, the dissimilar-
tiles Of similarity Of all things, natural or
artificial, is the most mysterious Of all the
hidden and yet clearly visible mysteries, Z.

Oyer.Eating.

Health and longevity are not the
only result. Of moderation in diet.
Its influence is far from being limited
to the body its effect on the mind is
still more important. Julius Caesar
constitutiOnally addicted to excess
when resolved on some great exploit,
was accustomed to diminish his diet
to an extent truly marvellous, and to
this diminutiOn he ascribed the clear
ness and energy Of mind which dis
tinguishcd him in the hour of battle.
When extraordinary mental vigor
was desired by the first Napoleon, he
used the same means to attain il. TO
his rarely cqualcd moderate in
diet, DR.. Franklin ascribcs his "clear-
ness Of ideas" and "quickness of per-
ception, and considered his progress
in study proportonate to the degree
Of temperance lie practiccd. While
Sir Isaac Newton was composing his
"Treatisc on Nptics,' he confined
himselftO bread and a little sack and
water. Scarcely less rigid was the
abstinence of Leibnitz, when prepar-
ing some parts of his "Universal Lam
guagc." D' Aubigne relates of Iu-
ther, on the authority of I4elancthon,
that "a little bread and a single her
ring were often his only food for the
day. Indeed, he was constitutonally
abstemious; and even after he had
found out that heaven was not to be
purchased by abstinence, he often
contentcd himself with the poorest
food, and would continue for a con-
time without eating or
DR.. Cheyne, a celebrated
reduced himself from the
enormous weight of 4is lbs. to liO lbs,
by combining himself to a limited
quantity of vegetables, milk and |
water as his only food and drink. The
result wa. restoration Of health and
mental vigor, and amid professional
and literary labors, uninterrupted
health and protracted life. An emin-
ent man once made the remark "that
nobody ever repented having eaten
too little"
Americans eat too much, too fast,
and too irregulary. 1t is the same
with drinking.

Dreaming TO Some Purpose.

Y The following occurrence is said, by
the Hartford Times, to have actually
transpired in that city, and not very
long ago:
One of our prominent and wealthy
citizens had purchased n slightly piece
of land outside the city, but within
the town limits, and the purchaser
was troubled somewhat because he
had been told that he could not get
water, owing to the elevated position
of his land, without digging further
Chinaward than anyone would be
likely to undertake. AS we said, this
troubled him. He wanted we'll on
his place, and although man of great
energy-One who never allowed any
obstacle, no matter how great, to turn
him from his path-he hesitated long
before undertaking this task. The
thought of eXcavating half a mile
(more or less) ofsolid rock was enough
to deter the stoutcst heart. At this
juncture, before he had resolved upon
anything definite, he dreamed that
he had set a gang of men to digging
for we'll on certain Ito his mind)
we'll defined spot, and that after dig
ging a few feet, before the rock was
reached, water came in abundance.
The gentleman, though not n bit SUI
perstitious, and holding dreams light
ly as anybody, was more impressed
with his sleeping vision than he
would have cared to acknowledge.
AT first he would have secuted the |
idea of treating the subject seriously |
enough to put spade into the earth
at the spot indicated in his dream;
but do what he would he could not
dismiss the dream from his mind, and
finally he resolved to test it, but with
out any real belief that his dream
would be verified. He sat his men
% work, and strange to relate, after
iigging fifteen feet, water abundanlly
lowed, and thus the dream fully came
o pass. We have seen the well with
'ur own eyes, and the dreamer who
$ a gentleman ofundoubted veracity,
'ssures us that our story is true.

SpEpIFIc FOR DIrHTIIERIA.-The
italian journals publish letter from
DR., Giovanni Galligari, describing
the remarkable success which has at
tended his treatment of diphtheria
with phenic acid. He relates the
losses he formerly experienced among
his patients when treating them with
emollients, solvents, and cauterizatiOn
with hydrOchloric acid, and observes
that this cauterization can no more
eradicate the morbid principle than
tearing the leaves Off a plant will de-
strey the root. He now simply uses
gargle of picnic acid and distilled
water, with external applications of
new flannel the food Ond drink to be
taken cold. After the adoption Of the
treatment DR.. Galligari lost but one
patient out of tifty-eight. He request
ed Italian journals to publish the dis
cOvery. Picnic acid is the agent
which is now being used in this cOun-
try as a remedy for cancer, and seems
likely to effect an immense saving of
lives formerly hopelessly sacrificed ta,
that disease.

The English Dinner Hour.

In England, the court dinner hour
remained at II from the reign of Ed
ward ", to that of Henry VII, but
the middle and lower classes dined
at or 10. The fashionable hour in
Henry Wills reign came to be II,
when Sir Thomas Moore dincd, and
it remained fixed there for many
years. 1t Is still the workingman's
time, and is likely 80 to remain for
centuries, as it appears to be natures
own time. Fashion may make laws
as she will and call meals by various
names; but at midday most persons
feel the necessity of taking food.
In 100, the dinner-hour had shifted
to2 o'clock; at that time Addison
dincd during the last thirty years of
his life, and Pope through the whole
of his. Very great people dined at !
ns carly as 17i0, and Pope complains
of Lady Suflolk's dining at that late
hour; but in 1861, find the duchess of
;Scnerset's hour was 3. This how
ever, only shows that slightly differ
ent dinner hours were prevalent at
HE saipe period; and we know that
when the duchess Of Gordon asked
Pitt to dine with her at 7, his excuse
was that he was engaged to sup with
tie bishop of Winchester at that
hour. In 17S0, the poet COwper
apcaks of 4 as the then fashionable
time: and about lSOi-'5 an alteration
took place mt Oxford, by which those

A Dog Story From the Stub"

Mr., Edward Watts, a well know
citizen residing at No. % Iavar(
street, tells very remarkable story
about couple of English bull ter
ricrs that he owns and prizes very
highly. lie says, and Officer Coomb'
of the Fourth Station vouches for the
truth of the story, that one day last
week he had occasion to go from his
house to Portland street, good
mile, for the purpose of paying a
small bill. Arriving at Portland
street with the dogs, he met the man
he wished to see on the sidewalk,
and there paid the bill, at the time
dropping $40 bill on tho curb stone,
though he knew nothing about it
till MS arrival home, some two
hours afterward, and after calling at
several places on bis way home.
finding this $50 bill gone, he took
his dogs and started back, calling at
the places he visited on his way
home. On reaching Sudbury street
he called his dog jess, showed him
a $40 bill, looked abOutas if hunting
for it, and told the dog to "smell it
out" The dog then started of with
his nose to the ground in front of his
master, and pushing around into
Portland street, where they had been
before, and where the bill was paid,
he stopped, poked about the dirt
with his nose and in a few minutes
ran up to his master with the lost $40
bill in his mouth. Thai looks like a |
very tough story, but if truthful
men are to be believed then is this
story true.
